1. Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

Biodel Inc. (“Biodel” or the “Company,” and formerly Global Positioning Group Ltd.) is a development stage specialty pharmaceutical company located in Danbury, Connecticut. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 3, 2003 and commenced operations in January 2004. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of innovative treatments for diabetes. The Company develops product candidates by applying its proprietary formulation technologies to existing drugs in order to improve their therapeutic profiles. The Company’s proprietary formulations of injectable recombinant human insulin, known as Linjeta™ (and previously referred to as VIAject^®), represent the Company’s most advanced development program. These formulations are designed to be more rapid-acting than the “rapid-acting” mealtime insulin analogs presently used to treat patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and the Company therefore refers to them as its “ultra-rapid-acting” insulin formulations. An earlier formulation of Linjeta™ was the subject of a New Drug Application ("NDA") that the Company submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in December 2009. In October 2010, the FDA issued a complete response letter stating that the NDA for Linjeta™ could not be approved in its present form and that the Company should conduct two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials with its preferred commercial formulation of Linjeta™ prior to re-submitting the NDA. Based upon the complete response letter and subsequent feedback the FDA provided to the Company at a meeting in January 2011, the Company decided to study newer formulations of recombinant human insulin, or RHI, in earlier stage clinical trials prior to initiating the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials requested by the FDA. The Company refers to these newer RHI-based formulations as BIOD-105 and BIOD-107. The Company has completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of BIOD-105 and BIOD-107, and an investigator-sponsored Phase 1 clinical trial of these product candidates is ongoing

The Company’s earlier stage product candidates include insulin analogs formulated with the technology the Company has developed for RHI, a sublingual tablet formulation of insulin and a stabilized formulation of glucagon, a line of basal insulins.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2010 audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2010 (the “Annual Report”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any other interim period.

The Company is in the development stage, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 915 (prior authoritative literature: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7), “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”, as its primary activities since incorporation have been establishing its facilities, recruiting personnel, conducting research and development, business development, business and financial planning and raising capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, effective for interim periods and years beginning after December 15, 2011. The issuance of ASU No. 2011-5 is intended to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance in ASU No. 2011-5 supersedes the presentation options in ASC Topic 220 and facilitates convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requiring that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2011-5 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Restricted cash as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011 consisted of $150 and $60, respectively, in a money market account held with a bank to secure a credit card purchasing agreement utilized to facilitate employee travel and certain ordinary purchases.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short term maturities.

ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”, originally issued as SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements) applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. The three levels of inputs used are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had liabilities that fell under the scope of ASC 820. The fair value of the Company’s warrant liability was determined by the Monte Carlo simulation method for the warrants issued in connection with the Company’s August 2010 financing and by the Black-Scholes valuation model for the warrants issued in connection with the Company’s May 2011 financing. The Monte Carlo simulation method is a generally accepted statistical method used to generate a defined number of stock price paths in order to develop a reasonable estimate of the range of future expected stock prices of the Company and its peer group and minimizes standard error. The Black-Scholes valuation model takes in account, as of the valuation date, factors including the current exercise price, the expected life of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock, and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the warrant. Accordingly, the Company’s fair value measurements of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was classified as a Level 1 input and the warrant liability as a Level 3 input.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis are as follows:


Description	Fair Value at June 30, 2011			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Market Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	41,999		$	41,999	$	—	$	—

4. Pre-Launch Inventory

Inventory costs associated with products that have not yet received regulatory approval are capitalized if the Company believes there is probable future commercial use and future economic benefit. If the probability of future commercial use and future economic benefit cannot be reasonably determined, then costs associated with pre-launch inventory that has not yet received regulatory approval are expensed as research and development expense during the period the costs are incurred. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company expensed approximately $0 and $2.4 million, respectively, of costs associated with the purchase of recombinant human insulin, as research and development expense after it passed quality control inspection by the Company and transfer of title occurred. In October, 2010, the FDA issued a complete response letter stating that the NDA for Linjeta™ could not be approved in its present form and that the Company should conduct two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials with its preferred commercial formulation of Linjeta™ prior to re-submitting the NDA. Until the Company completes Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials with a preferred commercial formulation, resubmits an NDA and receives FDA approval, the Company will continue to expense pre-launch inventory as research and development.

5. Share-Based Compensation

In March 2010, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”). Up to 5,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2010 Plan, plus the 3,407,633 shares of common stock underlying already outstanding awards as of September 30, 2009. The contractual life of options granted under the 2010 Plan may not exceed seven years. The 2010 Plan uses a “fungible share” concept under which any awards that are not a full-value award will be counted against the share limit as one (1) share for each share of common stock and any award that is a full-value award will be counted against the share limit as 1.6 shares for each one share of common stock. The Company has not made any new awards under any prior equity plans after March 2, 2010 — the effective date the 2010 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders. The 2010 Plan replaces the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and 2005 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation arising from compensatory stock-based transactions using the fair value at the grant date of the award. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment. The Company uses an option-pricing model (Black-Scholes pricing model) to assist in the calculation of fair value. Due to its limited history, the Company uses the “calculated value method” which relies on comparable company historical volatility and uses the average of (i) the weighted average vesting period and (ii) the contractual life of the option, or seven years, as the estimated term of the option. The Company bases its estimates of expected volatility on the median historical volatility of a group of publicly traded companies that it believes are comparable to the Company based on the line of business, stage of development, size and financial leverage.

The risk free rate of interest for periods within the contractual life of the stock option award is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury strips on the date the award is granted with a maturity similar to the expected term of the award. The Company estimates forfeitures based on actual forfeitures during its limited history. Additionally, the Company has assumed that dividends will not be paid.

Based on historical experience of option cancellations, the Company has estimated an annualized forfeiture rate of 9% for employee and director options. Forfeiture rates will be adjusted over the requisite service period when actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the estimate.

The Company expenses ratably over the vesting period the cost of the stock options granted to employees and directors. The total compensation charge, which includes stock-based compensation charges related to RSU awards and the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 were $1,514, $1,274, $4,147, and $3,948, respectively. At June 30, 2011, the total compensation charge related to non-vested options to employees and directors not yet recognized was $3,498 which will be recognized over the remaining vesting periods, up to the next four years, assuming the employees complete their service period for vesting of the options.

For stock options granted to non-employees, the Company measures fair value of the equity instruments utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model, if that value is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration or service received. The fair value of these instruments is periodically revalued as the options vest, and is recognized as expense over the related period of service or vesting period, whichever is longer. The total compensation charge or credit for options granted to non-employees for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 were $(6), $0, $(30), and $(43), respectively.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the nine months ended June 30, 2011:


						Weighted

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units (RSUs) to executive officers and employees pursuant to the 2010 Plan from time to time. There is no direct cost to the recipients of RSUs, except for any applicable taxes.

Except as set forth below with regard to RSUs awarded in connection with a reduction in cash compensation, each RSU award that was granted in December 2010 to our executive officers and employees represents one share of common stock and each award vests annually over three years, with fifty percent vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vesting in two equal installments on each anniversary thereafter. Each year following the annual vesting date, between January 1st and March 15th, the Company will issue common stock for each vested RSU. During the period when the RSU is vested but not distributed, the RSUs cannot be transferred and the grantee has no voting rights. If the Company declares a dividend, RSU recipients will receive payment based upon the percentage of RSUs that have vested prior to the date of declaration. The costs of the awards, determined as the fair market value of the shares on the grant date, are expensed per the vesting schedule outlined in the award. For example, the December 2010 RSU awards vest over three years and are expensed 50% the first year and 25% the next two years; whereas, the December 2009 RSU awards are expensed ratably over the four year vesting period.

In connection with a one-time reduction in cash compensation expenditures for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, the Company’s chief executive officer agreed, on October 1, 2010, to reduce his base salary for the fiscal year from $37,500 per month to $33,333 per month, for a total annual reduction of $50,000. The Company treats the reduced portion of its chief executive officer’s base salary as deferred into 9,843 RSUs that the Company granted to him on the same date. The number of RSUs was determined by dividing $50,000 by $5.08, or the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on October 1, 2010, the date of grant. Additionally, effective October 1, 2010, the board of directors of the Company modified the compensation it will pay to its independent directors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011. The Company typically pays its chairman $60,000 in cash annually and each of its other non-employee directors $30,000 in cash annually. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, the Company’s chairman will receive $40,000 in cash as compensation for serving as a director and the remaining $20,000 in the form of RSUs. Each other independent director will receive $20,000 in cash as compensation for serving as a director and the remaining $10,000 in the form of RSUs. The independent members of the Company’s board of directors received a total of 17,719 RSUs.

The RSUs the Company granted in connection with reduced cash compensation were issued under the 2010 Plan and will vest in equal installments on each of December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011. The shares of common stock represented by the RSUs will be distributed on (and not before) September 30, 2011, absent an intervening reorganization event or change in control event (each as defined in the 2010 Plan) that causes an earlier distribution.

Based on historical experience of option cancellations, the Company has estimated an annualized forfeiture rate of 9% for employee RSUs. Forfeiture rates will be adjusted over the requisite service period when actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the estimate. As of June 30, 2011, the executives, the board of directors and employees had 82,822 vested RSUs, of which 62,149 vested on December 15, 2010 and were distributed as shares of common stock on February 8, 2011.

The stock-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs has been recorded in the statement of operations and in additional paid-in-capital on the balance sheets is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2010		2011		2010		2011
Stock compensation expense — RSUs	$	62	$	164	$	144	$	446

At June 30, 2011, there was $1,005 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSU awards granted under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2010 Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods up to four years.

The following table summarizes RSU activity from October 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011:

2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) was adopted by its board of directors and approved by its stockholders on March 20, 2007. The Purchase Plan became effective upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. The Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Under the Purchase Plan, eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their eligible earnings for the period of that offering withheld for the purchase of common stock under the Purchase Plan. The employee’s purchase price is equal to the lower of: 85% of the fair market value per share on the start date of the offering period in which the employee is enrolled or 85% of the fair market value per share on the semi-annual purchase date. The Purchase Plan imposes a limitation upon a participant’s right to acquire common stock if immediately after the purchase the employee would own 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the Company’s common stock or of any of its affiliates. The Purchase Plan provides for an automatic rollover when the purchase price for a new offering period is lower than previously established purchase price(s). The Purchase Plan also provides for a one-time election that allows an employee the opportunity to enroll into a new offering period when the new offering is higher than their current offering price. This election must be made within 30 days from the start of a new offering period. Offering periods are twenty-seven months in length. The compensation cost in connection with the Purchase Plan for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 were $224, $22, $425, and $42, respectively.

An aggregate of 1,700,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to purchase rights to be granted to the Company’s eligible employees under the Purchase Plan. The Purchase Plan shares are replenished annually on the first day of each calendar year by virtue of an evergreen provision. The provision allows for share replenishment equal to the lesser of 1% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on that date or 100,000 shares. As of June 30, 2011, a total of 1,364,379 shares were reserved and available for issuance under the Purchase Plan. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has issued 335,621 shares under the Purchase Plan.

6. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company files U.S. federal and state tax returns and has determined that its major tax jurisdictions are the United States and Connecticut. The tax years ended in 2004 through 2009 remain open and subject to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies in the United States and Connecticut.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on the use of U.S. federal net operating losses upon a 50% or more change in ownership in the Company within a three-year period. As a result of the registered direct offering that the Company completed in May 2011 (Note 8), a significant change in the ownership of the Company occurred, which limits on an annual basis the Company’s ability to utilize its federal NOLs. The Company’s NOLs will continue to be available to offset taxable income (until such NOLs are either used or expire) subject to the Section 382 annual limitation. If the Section 382 annual limitation amount is not fully utilized in a particular tax year, then the unused portion from that particular tax year will be added to the Section 382 annual limitation in subsequent years. The Company will complete a formal Section 382 analysis review by the end of this fiscal year to determine the impact on its financial statements.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was 0% and differs from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the effects of state income taxes and valuation allowance.

7. Net Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The amount of options, warrants and RSUs excluded are as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2010		2011		2010		2011
Common shares underlying warrants issued in registered direct offerings		—		11,425,972		—		11,425,972
Common shares underlying warrants for Series A Preferred Stock issued in July 2005		118,815		118,815		118,815		118,815
Stock options		4,624,485		5,572,971		4,624,485		5,572,971
Restricted stock units		249,910		545,732		249,910		545,732

8. Financings

May 2011 Financing

In May 2011, the Company completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 12,074,945 shares of the Company’s common stock, 1,813,944 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 9,027,772 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares and warrants were sold in units consisting of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) one warrant to purchase 0.65 of a share of common stock, at an exercise price of $2.48 per share of the Company’s common stock. However, one investor also purchased units consisting of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 0.65 of a share of common stock. No fractional warrants were issued. Each unit was sold at a price of $2.16 per unit. These units were not issued or certificated. The shares and warrants were immediately separated. The warrants will expire on May 17, 2016, five years from the issuance date of May 18, 2011. The Company received net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, of approximately $28.0 million from this financing.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited from converting the shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.98% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will receive a payment equal to $0.01 per share of Series A Preferred Stock before any proceeds are distributed to the holders of the Company’s common stock. After the payment of this preferential amount, and subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will participate ratably in the distribution of any remaining assets with the Company’s common stock and any other class or

Biodel Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)

series of capital stock that participates with the common stock in such distributions. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will be required to amend the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by the Company’s board of directors.

In the event that the Company enters into a merger or change of control transaction, the holders of the warrants issued in the May 2011 financing will be entitled to receive consideration as if they had exercised the warrant immediately prior to such transaction, or they may require the Company to purchase the unexercised warrants at the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant) of the warrant on the date of such transaction. As per the terms of the warrants, the holders have up to 30 days following any such transaction to exercise this right. As a result of this provision, the Company recognizes the warrants as liabilities at their fair value on each reporting date.

The Company’s warrant liability is marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded as a gain or loss within Other Expense (“Adjustment to fair value of common stock warrant liability”), until the warrants are exercised, expire or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified as an equity instrument. Because the warrants issued in the May 2011 financing do not contain a repricing provision, the Company is using the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of the warrants. Using this model, the Company recorded an initial warrant liability of $9,438 as of May 18, 2011 (warrant issuance date). The significant assumptions of the model were warrants and common stock outstanding, remaining terms of the warrants, the per stock price of $2.06, a risk-free rate of 1.89% and expected volatility rate of 75%.

At June 30, 2011, the fair value of the warrant liability determined utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model was approximately $8,062. The decrease in the fair value of the warrants from May 18, 2011 mainly reflects the decrease in the value of the Company’s common stock price from the date of issuance to June 30, 2011.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a decrease to Adjustment to fair value of common stock warrant liability of $1,375 to Adjustment to fair value of common stock warrant liability, within Other (income) expense, to reflect the decrease in the valuation of the warrants from May 18, 2011 to June 30, 2011.

The following summarizes the changes in value of the warrant liability from the date of issuance through June 30, 2011:


Balance at September 30, 2010	$	-
Initial fair value, at the date of issuance		9,438
Decrease in fair value		(1,375	)

Balance at June 30, 2011	$	8,063

August 2010 Financing

In August 2010, the Company completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 2,398,200 units, with each unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, for a purchase price of $3.93 per unit. These units were not issued or certificated. The shares and warrants were immediately separated and the Company issued 2,398,200 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,398,200 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $4.716 per share, subject to re-pricing following the Company’s receipt of the complete response letter for Linjeta™. On December 1, 2010, the exercise price of the warrants was reset to $1.56 per share as per the terms of the warrant. On May 12, 2011, the exercise price of the warrants was reset to $1.175 per share per the terms of the warrant. These warrants will expire on December 1, 2011. The Company received net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, of approximately $8.7 million from this financing.

In the event that the Company enters into a merger or change of control transaction, the holders of the warrants issued in the August 2010 financing will be entitled to receive consideration as if they had exercised the warrant immediately prior to such transaction, or they may require the Company to purchase the warrant at the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant) of the warrant on the date of such transaction. As per the terms of the warrants, the holders have up to 30 days following any such transaction to exercise this right.

The Company’s warrant liability is marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded as a gain or loss within Other Expense (“Adjustment to fair value of common stock warrant liability”), until the warrants are exercised, expire or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified as an equity instrument. The fair value of the warrant liability is determined at each reporting period by utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation method that takes into account estimated probabilities of possible outcomes provided by the Company. At the date of the transaction, the fair value of the warrant liability was $2,915 utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation method. The Monte Carlo simulation method is a generally accepted statistical technique used to generate a defined number of stock price paths in order to develop a reasonable estimate of the range of future expected stock prices of the Company and its peer group and minimizes standard error.

At June 30, 2011, the fair value of the warrant liability determined utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation method was approximately $1,654. The decrease in the fair value of the warrants from September 30, 2010 mainly reflects the decrease in the value of the Company’s common stock price from September 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

The Company has determined its warrant liability to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes valuation model (May 2011 financing) and the Monte Carlo simulation method (August 2010 financing) to calculate the fair value as of June 30, 2011.

At the measurement dates, the Company estimated the fair value for the May 2011 warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Fair value at the measurement date of June 30, 2011 was estimated using the following assumptions:


May 2011 Financing	June 30,
	2011
Stock price	$	1.87
Exercise price	$	2.48
Risk-free interest rate		1.76%
Expected remaining term		4.88 years
Expected volatility		75%
Dividend yield		0%
Warrants outstanding May 2011 registered direct		9,027,772
Common stock outstanding		38,605,483

At the measurement date, the Company estimated the fair value for the August 2010 warrants using the Monte Carlo simulation method. Fair value at the measurement date of June 30, 2011 was estimated using the following assumptions:


August 2010 Financing	June 30,
	2011
Risk-free interest rate		.10%
Expected remaining term		.42 years
Expected volatility		100%
Dividend yield		0%

Risk-Free Interest Rate. This is the United States Treasury rate for the measurement date having a term equal to the expected remaining term of the warrant. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase the fair value and the associated derivative liability.

Expected Remaining Term. This is the period of time over which the warrant is expected to remain outstanding and is based on management’s estimate, taking into consideration the remaining contractual life, and historical experience. An increase in the expected remaining term will increase the fair value and the associated derivative liability.

Expected Volatility. This is a measure of the amount by which the stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Since the Company’s stock has not been traded for as long as the expected remaining term of the warrants, the Company uses a weighted-average of the historic volatility of four comparable companies over the retrospective period corresponding to the expected remaining term of the warrants on the measurement date. Extra weighting is attached to those companies most similar in terms of size and business activity. An increase in the expected volatility will increase the fair value and the associated derivative liability.

Dividend Yield. The Company has not made any dividend payments nor does it have plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease the fair value and the associated derivative liability.

Change of Control. The Monte Carlo simulation incorporates the probability that the Company effects a change of control. The Company estimated a 10% probability for a change of control.

Participating Securities

If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells securities or other property to holders of any class of common stock, the holders of the warrants are entitled to also acquire those same securities as if they held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the warrants.

As such, given that the May 2011 and August 2010 warrant holders will participate fully on any dividends or dividend equivalents, the Company determined that the warrants are participating securities and therefore are subject to ASC 260-10-55 earnings per share. These securities were excluded from the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 earnings per share calculation since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

9. Commitments

Former Chief Scientific Officer General Release

Effective December 14, 2010, Dr. Solomon Steiner, the Company’s former Chief Scientific Officer, retired from all his management positions with the Company. On the same date, the Company and Dr. Steiner executed a general release agreement. Dr. Steiner is therefore entitled to receive the severance benefits set forth in his employment agreement (the “employment agreement”) with the Company that were conditioned upon his signing the release. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Dr. Steiner will receive payments in the amount of two times his base salary in effect on the date of his retirement, two times his target annual bonus, plus a pro rata portion of his 2011 target bonus, as defined in the employment agreement, for the fiscal year in which he is terminated. Furthermore, the employment agreement provides that any outstanding equity compensation awards will fully and immediately vest with respect to any amounts that would have vested if he had remained employed for an additional 24 months, which totals options to purchase 234,545 shares of common stock at exercise prices between $2.29 and $18.16. The options remain exercisable until the earlier of the second anniversary of Dr. Steiner ceasing to be a board member or their date of expiration. The Company recorded a charge of $1,360 for salary, bonus and benefits continuation for twenty-four months and an option acceleration modification charge of $7 in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has paid $365 in salary, bonus and benefits continuation per the terms of the agreement; $682 has been classified in short term obligation and $313 in other long term liabilities.

Leases

As of June 30, 2011, the Company leased three facilities in Danbury, Connecticut with Mulvaney Properties, LLC, which is controlled by a non-affiliated stockholder of the Company.

The Company entered into its first lease for laboratory space in February 2004, which was subsequently renewed in January 2010 for an additional three years. The lease will expire in January 2013. This lease provides for annual basic lease payments of $64, plus operating expenses.

In July 2007 the Company entered into a second lease for its corporate office, which was subsequently amended in October 2007. The October 2007 amendment increased the term from five years to seven years beginning on August 1, 2007 and ending on July 31, 2014. The renewal option was also amended from a five year to a seven year term. This lease provides for annual basic lease payments of $337, plus operating expenses.

In December 2008, the Company entered into a third lease for additional office space adjacent to its laboratory space, which was subsequently renewed in January 2010 for an additional three years. The Company has agreed to use the leased premises only for offices, laboratories, research, development and light manufacturing. This lease provides for annual basic lease payments of $29, plus operating expenses.

Lease expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 were $151, $160, $447, and $476, respectively.

Restructuring Charge

In January 2011, the Company implemented a restructuring plan that resulted in a reduction in force affecting 16 employees, none of whom are executives of the Company. Employees directly affected by the reduction were provided with severance payments and continuation of benefits for a limited term. The positions impacted were across the Company’s business functions, including research and development, clinical, operations and general and administrative departments. As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company recorded an aggregate restructuring charge of approximately $406 in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 for severance and other personnel related expenses, such as employee benefits, of which $402 was paid and $4 is classified as a short term obligation as of June 30, 2011.

10. Subsequent Event

In July 2011, the Company executed an amendment to its existing agreement with its supplier of recombinant human insulin, which extends the term of the existing supply agreement to June 30, 2018 and releases the Company from any purchase commitments until the third calendar quarter of 2014. The Company agreed to new purchase commitments totaling approximately $18,000, at current exchange rates, between 2014 and 2018. Both parties have the right to terminate the agreement with six months notice, with the Company having the option to purchase significant additional quantities if the supplier terminates the agreement prior to June 30, 2018.

Overview

We are a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative treatments for diabetes that may be safer, more effective and more convenient for patients. We develop our product candidates by applying our proprietary formulation technologies to existing drugs in order to improve their therapeutic profiles. Our proprietary formulations of injectable recombinant human insulin, known as Linjeta™ (and previously referred to as VIAject^®), represent our most advanced development program. These formulations are designed to be more rapid-acting than the “rapid-acting” mealtime insulin analogs presently used to treat patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and we therefore refer to them as our “ultra-rapid-acting” insulin formulations. An earlier formulation of Linjeta™ was the subject of a New Drug Application ("NDA") that we submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in December 2009.

In October 2010, the FDA issued a complete response letter stating that the NDA for Linjeta™ could not be approved in its present form and that we should conduct two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials with our preferred commercial formulation of Linjeta™ prior to re-submitting the NDA. Based upon the complete response letter and subsequent feedback the FDA provided to us at a meeting in January 2011, we decided to study newer formulations of recombinant human insulin, or RHI, in earlier stage clinical trials prior to initiating the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials requested by the FDA. We refer to these newer RHI-based formulations as BIOD-105 and BIOD-107. The objective of these clinical trials is to determine whether one or more of our newer RHI-based formulations is likely to offer a combination of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, stability and injection site tolerability characteristics that is preferable to the Linjeta™ formulation that was the subject of the complete response letter.

In August 2011, we completed patient visits and analyzed top-line data from the first Phase 1 clinical trial of BIOD-105, BIOD-107 and the insulin analog marketed as Humalog^®. The trial was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, three-period crossover trial in 18 subjects with Type 1 diabetes. Each study drug was administered on separate days. The objective of the trial was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics and injection site toleration of BIOD-105 and BIOD-107, as compared to Humalog^®. Pharmacodynamics were assessed using the euglycemic clamp method. Local injection site discomfort was measured after each test injection with a 100 mm visual analog scale, or VAS, and with additional questions pertaining to injection site toleration.

Our analysis of the top-line data from Phase 1 clinical trial of BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 indicated that both formulations were more rapidly absorbed than Humalog^® (t1/2 early 15.3, 16.6, 23.7 minutes respectively, p<0.001 for either BIOD formulation compared to Humalog^®). The decline of serum insulin levels following peak was slower with BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 compared to Humalog^®. The metabolic effect induced by BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 tended to be higher in the first hour after injection than that associated with Humalog^®, although this difference did not achieve statistical significance. BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 exhibited lower peak metabolic effects relative to Humalog^® and slower declines in metabolic action. With regard to toleration, there were no significant differences in the VAS scores between BIOD-105, BIOD-107 and Humalog® (arithmetic mean scores of 4.9 ± 2.1, 2.6 ± 0.9, and 1.2 ± 0.4 mm, respectively, p=0.082 for BIOD-105 to Humalog^® and p=0.850 for BIOD-107 to Humalog^® comparisons). The frequency of injections associated with mild or no discomfort was 94% for BIOD-105 and 100% for BIOD-107 and Humalog^®. Most study drug injections were associated with discomfort equal to or less than that associated with the patient’s usual meal time injections at home (88% of injections for BIOD-105, 100% of injections for BIOD-107 and Humalog^®).

Based on our preliminary review of the of the top-line data from the recently completed trial of BIOD-105 and BIOD-107, we have postponed our decision regarding the commencement of a Phase 2 clinical trial to enable us to review the top-line data from an ongoing investigator-sponsored clinical trial of BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 at Oregon Health and Sciences University. This clinical trial is designed to compare BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 to Humalog® when delivered by insulin pumps and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics and toleration among the study drugs. Patient treatment for this clinical trial is expected to be competed in the quarter ending September 30, 2011.

In addition to our RHI-based BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 formulations, we are using our formulation technology to develop new ultra-rapid-acting formulations of insulin analogs. These insulin analog-based formulations generally use the same or similar excipients as BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 and are designed to be more rapid-acting than the “rapid-acting” mealtime insulin analogs, but they may present characteristics that are different from those offered by our RHI-based formulations.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we completed initial preclinical studies of several formulations based on an inslulin analog. These formulations were studied in diabetic swine to determine their potential pharmacokinetic and pharmacodymic characteristics. These formulations were also subjected to accelerated stability testing. The active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, used in these formulations was provided to us by a third-party pharmaceutical company pursuant to a material transfer agreement. In exchange for providing the API, we have agreed to preserve for the pharmaceutical company, for a limited period of time, the right to license our analog-based technology on an exclusive basis.

We expect to present an update on the path forward and development timelines for both RHI- and analog-based ultra-rapid-acting formulations in the fourth calendar quarter of 2011. In connection with our requirements for RHI, in July 2011 we finalized an agreement with our supplier of RHI that extends the term of our existing supply agreement until June 2018 and suspends our remaining purchase commitments until the third calendar quarter of 2014.

In November 2010, we announced that we had been awarded $1.2 million in research grants under the Internal Revenue Service's therapeutic discovery tax credit program and subsequently received the funds in January 2011. This program was created under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 to provide tax credits or grants representing up to 50 percent of eligible qualified investments in therapeutic discovery projects during tax years 2009 and 2010. These funds will be used to support our ultra-rapid-acting insulin programs as well as our sublingual tablet formulation of insulin, stabilized glucagon, extended glargine and glucose regulated basal glargine insulin development projects.

Effective December 14, 2010, Dr. Solomon Steiner, our former Chief Scientific Officer, retired from all his management positions with us. On the same date, we and Dr. Steiner executed a general release agreement. Dr. Steiner is therefore entitled to receive the severance benefits set forth in his employment agreement with us that were conditioned upon his signing the release. We recorded a charge of $1.36 million for salary, bonus and benefits continuation for twenty-four months and an option acceleration modification charge of $7 thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, we have paid $365 thousand in salary, bonus and benefits continuation per the terms of the agreement; $682 thousand has been classified in short term obligation and $313 thousand in other long term liabilities.

We are a development stage company. We were incorporated in December 2003 and commenced active operations in January 2004. To date, we have generated no revenues and have incurred significant losses. We have financed our operations and internal growth through our initial public offering in May 2007, a follow-on offering in February 2008, registered direct offerings in August 2010 and May 2011 and, prior to these public offerings, private placements of convertible preferred stock and other securities. We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development activities, including clinical trials. Our net losses were $4.0 million and $14.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, we had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $179.5 million. The deficit accumulated during the development stage is attributable primarily to our research and development activities and non-cash charges for (1) accretion of beneficial conversion rights and (2) deemed dividend-warrants and share-based compensation. Research and development and general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net loss applicable to common stockholders, represent approximately 70% and 30%, respectively, of the expenses that we have incurred since our inception. We expect to continue to generate significant losses as we continue to develop our product candidates.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenues

To date, we have generated no revenues. We do not expect to begin generating any revenues unless any of our product candidates receive marketing approval or if we receive payments in connection with strategic collaborations that we may enter into for the commercialization of our product candidates.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of the cost associated with our basic research activities, as well as the costs associated with our drug development efforts, conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings. Our research and development expenses consist of:


·	external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with third-party contract research organizations and investigative sites, third-party manufacturing organizations and consultants;

·	employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits for the personnel involved in our preclinical and clinical drug development and manufacturing activities; and

·	facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation of leasehold improvements and equipment and laboratory and other supplies.

As a result of implementing a reduction in force in January 2011, we expect research and development expenses for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 to decrease as we focus our efforts on conducting preclinical studies and Phase 1 clinical trials to study BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 and other new formulations of RHI or insulin analogs in order to determine our preferred development, clinical and regulatory program for our ultra-rapid-acting formulations. Over the longer term, however, we anticipate these expenses will increase as we:


·	conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials to determine whether and how to advance the clinical development of and seek regulatory approval for an RHI- or insulin analog-based formulation;

·	conduct preclinical studies with earlier stage product candidates and make limited investments in order to advance proof-of-concept formulations; and

·	purchase RHI and other materials as required under existing contractual commitments.

We have used our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple research projects and our drug development program for Linjeta™. To date, we have not tracked expenses related to our product development activities on a project or program basis. Accordingly, we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of research and development expenses that we incurred with respect to each of our clinical and

preclinical product candidates. However, substantially all of our research and development expenses incurred to date are attributable to our ultra-rapid-acting mealtime insulin program.

The following table illustrates, for each period presented, our research and development costs by nature of the cost.

		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended				December 3, 2003 (inception)
		June 30,				June 30,				to June 30,
		2010		2011		2010		2011		2011
				(in thousands)
Research and development expenses:
Preclinical expenses	$	727	$	782	$	2,078	$	2,715	$	17,715
Manufacturing expenses		1,819		663		6,971		4,697		35,652
Clinical/regulatory expenses		3,344		1,496		12,609		3,937		74,210
Total	$	5,890	$	2,941	$	21,658	$	11,349	$	127,577

The successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, specific timing and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of, or the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows may commence from our product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs, including the uncertainty of:

·	our ability to secure approval by the FDA for our product candidates under Section 505(b)(2) of the FFDCA and the degree to which we are able to clarify with the FDA related regulatory requirements;

·	our ability to conduct the additional pivotal clinical trials the FDA requested in the complete response letter or other tests or analyses required by the FDA to secure approval to commercialize BIOD-105, BIOD-107 or any other RHI- or insulin analog-based formulation;

·	our ability to develop and commercialize RHI- or insulin analog-based formulations that may be associated with less injection site discomfort than the formulation that is the subject of the complete response letter we received from the FDA;

·	the progress, timing or success of our product candidates, particularly BIOD-105 or BIOD-107, and that of our research, development and clinical programs, including any resulting data analyses;

·	the cost to develop an insulin pen for use with our product candidates and the clinical development program required to support use in insulin pumps;

·	the costs of pre-commercialization activities, if any;

·	the costs associated with qualifying and obtaining regulatory approval of suppliers of insulin and manufacturers of our product candidates;

·	the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims;

·	the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse market developments; and

·	our ability to establish and maintain collaborations and the terms and success of the collaborations, including the timing and amount of payments that we might receive from potential strategic collaborators.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 or our other product candidates could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with product development.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011 consisted of $150 thousand and $60 thousand, respectively, held in a money market account with a bank to secure a credit card purchasing agreement utilized to facilitate employee travel and certain ordinary purchases.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel, including stock-based compensation expenses, in our executive, legal, accounting, finance and information technology functions. Other general and administrative expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense, travel expenses, costs associated with industry conventions and professional fees, such as legal and accounting fees and consulting costs.

As a result of implementing a reduction in force in January 2011, we expect general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 to decrease as we focus our efforts on conducting Phase 1 clinical trials to study BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 and other new formulations of RHI or insulin analogs. Over the longer term, however, these expenses could increase as we approach the commercial launch of one of our product candidates.

Pre-Launch Inventory

Inventory costs associated with products that have not yet received regulatory approval are capitalized if we believe there is probable future commercial use and future economic benefit. If the probability of future commercial use and future economic benefit cannot be reasonably determined, then costs associated with pre-launch inventory that has not yet received regulatory approval are expensed as research and development expense during the period the costs are incurred. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, we expensed approximately $0 and $2.4 million, respectively, of costs associated with the purchase of RHI as research and development expense after it passed quality control inspection by us and transfer of title occurred. As a result of receiving the FDA’s complete response letter with respect to our Linjeta™ NDA, we continue to expense pre-launch inventory as research and development. The pre-launch inventory treatment will be reevaluated if we complete Phase 3 clinical trials of BIOD-105 or BIOD-107, or an alternate product candidate for which the inventory is applicable, and we file a related NDA or NDA supplement for review by the FDA.

Restricted Stock Units

We grant restricted stock units (RSUs) to executive officers and employees pursuant to the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2010 Plan, from time to time. There is no direct cost to the recipients of RSUs, except for any applicable taxes. Except as set forth below with regard to RSUs awarded in connection with a reduction in cash compensation, each RSU awarded in December 2010 represents one share of common stock and each award vests annually over three years, with fifty percent vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vesting in two equal installments on each anniversary thereafter. Each year following the annual vesting date, between January 1st and March 15th, we will issue common stock for each vested RSU. During the period when the RSU is vested but not distributed, the RSUs cannot be transferred and the grantee has no voting rights. If we declare a dividend, RSU recipients will receive payment based upon the percentage of RSUs that have vested prior to the date of declaration. The costs of the awards, determined as the fair market value of the shares on the grant date, are expensed per the vesting schedule outlined in the award. For example, the December 2010 RSU awards vest over three years and expensed 50% the first year and 25% the next two years; whereas, the December 2009 RSU awards are expensed ratably over the four year vesting period.

In connection with a one-time reduction in cash compensation expenditures for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, our chief executive officer agreed, on October 1, 2010, to reduce his base salary for the fiscal year from $37,500 per month to $33,333 per month, for total reduction of $50,000. We treat the reduced portion of our chief executive officer’s base salary as deferred into 9,843 RSUs that we granted to him on the same date. The number of RSUs was determined by dividing $50,000 by $5.08, or the fair market value of our common stock on October 1, 2010, the date of grant. Additionally, effective October 1, 2010, our board of directors modified the compensation it will pay to our independent directors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011. We typically pay our chairman $60,000 in cash annually and each of its other non-employee directors $30,000 in cash annually. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, our chairman will receive $40,000 in cash as compensation for serving as a director and the remaining $20,000 in the form of RSUs. Each other independent director will receive $20,000 in cash as compensation for serving as a director and the remaining $10,000 in the form of RSUs. The independent members of our board of directors received a total of 17,719 RSUs.

The RSUs we granted in connection with reduced cash compensation were issued under the 2010 Plan and will vest in equal installments on each of December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011. The shares of common stock represented by the RSUs will be distributed on (and not before) September 30, 2011, absent an intervening reorganization event or change in control event (each as defined in the 2010 Plan) that causes an earlier distribution.

Warrant Liability

In May 2011, we completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 12,074,945 shares of our common stock, 1,813,944 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 9,027,772 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.48 per share. These warrants will expire on May 17, 2016, five years from the issuance date of May 18, 2011. In the event we enter into a merger or change of control transaction, the holders of the warrants will be entitled to receive consideration as if they had exercised the warrant immediately prior to such transaction, or they may require us to purchase the unexercised warrants at the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant) of the warrant on the date of such transaction. As per the terms of the warrants, the holders have up to 30 days following any such transaction to exercise this right. As a result of this provision, we recognize the warrants as liabilities at their fair value on each reporting date.

Our warrant liability is marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded as a gain or loss within Other Expense (“Adjustment to fair value of common stock warrant liability”), until the warrants are exercised, expire or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified as an equity instrument.

Because the warrants issued in the May 2011 financing do not contain a repricing provision, we are using the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of the warrants. The Black-Scholes valuation model takes in account, as of the valuation date, factors including the current exercise price, the expected life of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock, and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the warrant. Using this model, we recorded an initial warrant liability of $9.4 million as of the initial warrant issuance date. The significant assumptions by the model were warrants and common stock outstanding, remaining terms of the warrants, the per stock price of $2.06, a risk-free rate of 1.89% and expected volatility rate of 75%. The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the statements of operations under the caption “Adjustment to fair value of common stock warrant liability.”

In August 2010, we completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 2,398,200 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,398,200 shares of our common stock with an initial exercise price of $4.716 per share. In December 2011, the exercise price of the warrants was reset to $1.56 per share per the terms of the warrant. In May 2011, the exercise price of the warrants was reset to $1.175 per share per the terms of the warrants in connection with our May 2011 financing. These warrants are measured at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation method which is a generally accepted statistical method used to generate a defined number of stock price paths in order to develop a reasonable estimate of the range of our and our peer group’s future expected stock prices and minimizes standard error. The Monte Carlo simulation method takes into account, as of the valuation date, factors including the current exercise price, the expected life of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock, the risk-free interest rate for the term of the warrant and the probability of a change of control. The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the statements of operations under the caption “Adjustment to fair value of common stock warrant liability.” These warrants will expire on December 1, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and in the notes to our financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. We believe that our accounting policies relating to preclinical study and clinical trial accruals, stock-based compensation and income taxes are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. These policies are described under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. There have been no material changes to such policies since the filing of such Annual Report.

Research and development expenses were $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 50%, from $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This reduction of expenses is directly related to: (i) savings of $1.0 million resulting from reduced expenses associated with fewer clinical trials; (ii) reduced manufacturing expenses of $1.0 million, primarily as a result of not purchasing RHI during this quarter; (iii) savings of $0.6 million in regulatory consulting and professional fees; and (iv) a reduction of $0.3 million in personnel costs due to the reduction in force in January 2011. Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 include $0.5 million in stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to employees.

General and administrative expenses were approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 14%, from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, professional and consulting fees decreased by $0.3 million due to a savings in accounting fees and marketing consulting fees. The remaining $0.1 million reduction resulted from cost savings measures. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 include $0.8 million in stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to employees.

Interest and other income was $20 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $17 thousand, from $3 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase resulted from interest on the higher cash balance generated by our May 2011 financing and moving our cash to a premium commercial money market fund which eliminated investment fees and yielded a higher return.

Adjustment to Fair Value of Common Stock Warrant Liability

	(in thousands)
Adjustment to fair value of common stock warrant liability	$	—	$	(1,355	)	$	N/A	N/A
Percentage of net loss		—		35	%

Adjustments to fair value of common stock warrant liability for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $1.4 million. This amount reflects a $1.4 million decrease in the liability associated with the May 2011 warrants and a $20 thousand increase in the liability associated with the August 2010 warrants. The warrant liability adjustments began in August 2010. Accordingly, there is no warrant liability adjustment in the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of the May 2011 warrants. Because the closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2011 of $1.87 per share was lower than the May 18, 2011 closing price of $2.06 per share, we decreased the fair value of the May 2011 warrant liability by $1.4 million. We use the Monte Carlo simulation method to calculate the fair value of the August 2010 warrants. As a result of the May 2011 financing, the exercise price of the August 2010 warrants was reset to $1.175 per share. In addition, the closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2011 of $1.87 was lower than the March 31, 2011 closing stock price of $2.10. As a result, we increased the fair value of the August 2010 warrant liability by $20 thousand. Until the warrants are exercised or expire, these warrants will be revalued each reporting period.

Net loss was $4.0 million, or $(0.12) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $8.6 million, or $(0.36) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to reduced clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, and general and administrative expenses as noted above. As a result of implementing a reduction in force in January 2011, we anticipate that our expenses for this fiscal year will decrease as we focus our efforts on conducting Phase 1 clinical trials to study BIOD-105 and BIOD-107. Over

the longer term, however, these expenses could increase as we determine whether and how to advance our newer injectable mealtime insulin formulations and submit an amendment to our Linjeta™ NDA or submit a new NDA.

The savings are directly related to the following: (i) clinical expenses decreased by $5.2 million due to completion of our Linjeta™ extension trials, which ended in February 2010; (ii) regulatory expenses decreased by $3.3 million due to professional fees associated with filing our NDA application, our 120 day safety update report and addressing follow-on questions from the FDA during the nine months ended June 30, 2010; (iii) as a result of finalizing our disposable pen design in fiscal year 2010, our disposable pen development cost dropped by $0.6 million; (iv) purchases of 25.0 kilograms of RHI during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 versus 35.5 kilograms of RHI during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, a savings of $1.1 million; (v) other cost saving measurements of $0.6 million in manufacturing; and (vi) a $1.2 million credit from a 48D IRS grant received in January 2011. These savings were offset by a $2.3 million increase in expenses, which resulted primarily from major events that occurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. They are (i) a one-time severance charge related to Dr. Steiner’s retirement of $1.4 million; (ii) $0.4 million in additional personnel charges associated with the reduction in force that occurred in January 2010; (iii) $0.2 million in additional pipeline development cost on stabilizing glucagon, a line of basal insulins and other more rapid-acting mealtime insulin formulations. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 include $1.6 million in stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to employees and $41 thousand in stock-based compensation credit related to options granted to non-employees.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, our personnel expenses decreased by $0.7 million, as a result of lower headcount compared to 2010 and non-recurring CEO recruiting costs. Professional and consulting fees also decreased by $0.7 million due to fewer activities that required accounting, legal and marketing services. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 include $ 2.3 million in stock based compensation expense related to options granted to employees and $2 thousand in stock- based compensation credit related to options granted to non-employees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity and Cash Flows

As a result of our significant research and development expenditures and the lack of any approved products or other sources of revenue, we have not been profitable and have generated significant operating losses since we were incorporated in 2003. We initially funded our research and development operations through proceeds from our Series A convertible preferred stock financing in 2005 and our mezzanine and Series B convertible preferred stock financings in 2006. Through December 31, 2006, we had received aggregate gross proceeds of $26.6 million from these sales. We received an aggregate of $164.3 million from our initial public offering in May 2007, our follow-on offering in February 2008 and our registered direct offerings in August 2010 and May 2011.

At June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $42.0 million. We currently invest our excess funds in a premium commercial money market fund with one major financial institution. We plan to continue to invest our cash and cash equivalents in accordance with our approved investment policy guidelines, which set forth our policy to hold investment securities to maturity.

Net cash used in operating activities was $14.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and $31.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Net cash used in operating activities represents expenditures for general and administrative expenses, continued product pipeline development, conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, purchases of clinical supplies and regulatory affairs. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine month ended June 30, 2011 includes $4.0 million fair value charges associated with revaluing the warrants issued in connection with the August 2010 and May 2011 registered direct offerings. These charges did not occur in 2010. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 primarily include the following major charges: (i) $7.8 million in consulting and professional fees associated with filing our new drug application and 120 day safety data; (ii) an additional $1.1 million for the purchase of RHI inventory; and (iii) $0.7 million increased spending in professional fees associated with accounting, legal and marketing research services.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $5.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and $(6.2) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 primarily reflects the sale of marketable securities offset by purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 primarily reflects the purchase of marketable securities and property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $28.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and $369 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2011 primarily reflects approximately $28.0 million in proceeds, net of placement agent fees and other offering expenses, raised in our May 2011 registered direct financing and included $118 thousand from the sale of stock through our 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and $90 thousand proceed due to reducing our restricted cash requirement. Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 primarily reflects $326 thousand in proceeds from the sale of stock through our 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and $43 thousand in proceeds from the exercise of options.

In May 2011, we completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 12,074,945 shares of our common stock, 1,813,944 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 9,027,772 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.48 per share. The shares and warrants were sold in units consisting of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) one warrant to purchase 0.65 of a share of common stock. However, one investor also purchased units consisting of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 0.65 of a share of common stock. No fractional warrants were issued. Each unit was sold at a price of $2.16 per unit. These units were not issued or certificated. The shares and warrants were immediately separated. The warrants will expire on May 17, 2016. We received net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, of approximately $28.0 million from this financing.

In August 24, 2010, we completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 2,398,200 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,398,200 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.716. We received net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, of approximately $8.7 million from this financing. In December 2010, the exercise price of the warrants was reset to $1.56 per share and in May 2011, the exercise price of the warrants was reset to $1.175 per share in connection with our May 2011 financing.

Funding Requirements

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures at least through the first half of 2013. We have based this estimate upon assumptions that may prove to be wrong and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our existing capital resources are not sufficient to complete our clinical development program for BIOD-105, BIOD-107 or any other ultra-rapid-acting formulation of RHI or an insulin analog. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, and to the extent that we may or may not enter into collaborations with third parties to participate in their development and commercialization, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current anticipated clinical trials.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

	·	our ability to secure approval by the FDA for our product candidates under Section 505(b)(2) of the FFDCA and the degree to which we are able to clarify with the FDA related regulatory requirements;

	·	our ability to conduct the additional pivotal clinical trials the FDA requested in the complete response letter or other tests or analyses required by the FDA to secure approval to commercialize BIOD-105, BIOD-107 or any other RHI-or insulin analog-based formulation;

	·	our ability to develop and commercialize RHI- or insulin analog-based formulations that may be associated with less injection site discomfort than the formulation that is the subject of the complete response letter we received from the FDA;

	·	the progress, timing or success of our product candidates, particularly BIOD-105 or BIOD-107, and that of our research, development and clinical programs, including any resulting data analyses;

	·	the cost to develop an insulin pen for use with our product candidates and the clinical development program required to support use in insulin pumps;

	·	the costs of pre-commercialization activities, if any;

	·	the costs associated with qualifying and obtaining regulatory approval of suppliers of insulin and manufacturers of our product candidates;

	·	the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims;

	·	the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse market developments;

	·	our ability to establish and maintain collaborations and the terms and success of the collaborations, including the timing and amount of payments that we might receive from potential strategic collaborators; and

	·	our ability to accurately estimate anticipated operating losses, future revenues, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing.

We do not anticipate generating product revenue for the next few years. In the absence of additional funding, we expect our continuing operating losses to result in increases in our cash used in operations over the next several years. To the extent our capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we will need to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. We do not currently have any commitments for future external funding.

We may receive additional proceeds from the exercise of the warrants that we issued in connection with our August 2010 and May 2011 registered direct offerings. Whether the warrants are exercised will depend on decisions made by the warrant holders and on whether the market price of our common stock exceeds the warrant exercise price, which is currently $1.175 per share for the August 2010 warrants and $2.48 per share for the May 2011 warrants. The August 2010 warrants expire on December 1, 2011 and the May 2011 warrants expire on May 17, 2016.

We have achieved cost saving initiatives to reduce operating expenses, including the reduction of employees and we continue to seek additional areas for cost reductions. However, we will also need to raise additional funds and periodically explore sources of equity or debt financing. We may seek to raise such capital through public or private equity financings, partnerships, joint ventures, debt financings, bank borrowings or other sources. However, additional funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may result. If we fail to obtain additional capital when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

Total fixed contractual obligations	$	6,318	681	1,220	$	4,417	$	—

In July 2011, we executed an amendment to its existing agreement with its supplier of recombinant human insulin, which extends the term of the existing supply agreement to June 30, 2018 and releases us from any purchase commitments until the third calendar quarter of 2014. We agreed to new purchase commitments totaling approximately $18 million, at current exchange rates, between 2014 and 2018. Both parties have the right to terminate the agreement with six months notice, with us having the option to purchase significant additional quantities if the supplier terminates the agreement prior to June 30, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, effective for interim periods and years beginning after December 15, 2011. The issuance of ASU No. 2011-5 is intended to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance in ASU No. 2011-5 supersedes the presentation options in ASC Topic 220 and facilitates convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requiring that all non owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2011-5 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk is limited to our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We invest in high-quality financial instruments, as permitted by the terms of our investment policy guidelines. Currently, our excess funds are invested in a premium commercial money market fund with one major financial institution. We do not hedge interest rate exposure. A portion of our investments may be subject to interest rate risk and could fall in value if interest rates were to increase. The effective duration of our portfolio is currently less than one year, which we believe limits interest rate and credit risk.

Because most of our transactions are denominated in United States dollars, we do not have any material exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its

principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in internal controls

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

Since our inception in December 2003, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net losses were approximately $4.0 million and $14.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, we had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $179.5 million. We have invested a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in the development of Linjeta™. In October 2010, the FDA notified us that it would not approve our NDA for Linjeta™ unless and until we conduct two new Phase 3 clinical trials, one in Type 1 diabetes and the other in Type 2 diabetes, using the final commercial formulation of Linjeta™, we address deficiencies with the chemistry, manufacturing and controls, or CMC, section of the NDA, and our primary third-party manufacturers adequately remediate facility inspection observations. In light of the extensive nature of the FDA’s comments and their feedback at a subsequent meeting in January 2011, we have decided not to initiate new pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials with the formulation of Linjeta™ submitted in our NDA. We have instead commenced clinical development of new RHI-based ultra-rapid-acting insulin formulations – BIOD-105 and BIOD-107. These alternate formulations generally use the same or similar excipients as the formulation of Linjeta™ submitted in our NDA, but we believe they may present improvements with regard to injection site discomfort. We have also commenced preclinical testing of ultra-rapid-acting formulations of insulin-anolog based product candidates. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for at least the next several years as we may:

	·	conduct pre-clinical studies and clinical trials to study formulations of BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 and other RHI-and and insulin analog-based formulations that that may be associated with less injection site discomfort than the formulation that is the subject of the complete response letter we received from the FDA;

	·	commence a stability program to determine whether any of our alternate RHI-or insulin analog-based formulations are likely to present a commercially acceptable stability profile;

	·	conduct additional clinical trials of our RHI-based formulations and, potentially, our insulin analog-based formulations, including a Phase 2 clinical trial and the two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials requested by the FDA to support approval;

	·	produce additional validation batches of vials and cartridges to support our NDA, if re-filed with the FDA;

	·	conduct the required stability, preclinical and human factors and user acceptability studies to support the approval of a disposable insulin pen either as an amendment or supplement to the NDA:

	·	purchase RHI and other materials consistent with our existing contractual obligations; and

	·	conduct additional clinical development of our other product candidates.

To become and remain profitable, we must succeed in developing and eventually commercializing drugs with significant market potential. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including successfully completing preclinical testing and clinical trials of our product candidates, obtaining regulatory approval for these product candidates and manufacturing, marketing and selling those products for which we may obtain regulatory approval. We may never succeed in these activities and may never generate revenues that are significant or large enough to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business or continue our operations. A decline in the market price of our common stock could also cause you to lose all or a part of your investment.

We will need substantial additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts.

We are a development stage company with no commercial products. All of our product candidates are still being developed. All are in early stages of development. Our product candidates will require significant additional clinical development, regulatory approvals and related investment before they can be commercialized. While we have reduced expenditures on our development programs that are not related to ultra-rapid-acting mealtime insulins, we do not expect our research and development expenses to decrease as we continue our formulation work. Unless we are successful in consummating a strategic partnership to develop and commercialize BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 or an alternate RHI-or insulin analog-based formulation, we may need to raise substantial additional capital to develop and commercialize a competitive mealtime insulin product. Such financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

Based upon our current plans, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures at least through the first half of 2013.

We cannot assure you that our plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of our capital resources more rapidly than we currently anticipate. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

	·	our ability to secure approval by the FDA for our product candidates under Section 505(b)(2) of the FFDCA and the degree to which we are able to clarify with the FDA related regulatory requirements;

	·	our ability to conduct the additional pivotal clinical trials the FDA requested in the complete response letter or other tests or analyses required by the FDA to secure approval to commercialize BIOD-105, BIOD-107 or any other RHI-or insulin analog-based formulation;

	·	our ability to develop and commercialize RHI-or insulin analog-based formulations that may be associated with less injection site discomfort than the formulation that is the subject of the complete response letter we received from the FDA;

	·	the progress, timing or success of our product candidates, particularly BIOD-105 or BIOD-107, and that of our research, development and clinical programs, including any resulting data analyses;

	·	the cost to develop an insulin pen for use with our product candidates and the clinical development program required to support use in insulin pumps;

	·	the costs of pre-commercialization activities, if any;

	·	the costs associated with qualifying and obtaining regulatory approval of suppliers of insulin and manufacturers of our product candidates;

	·	the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims;

	·	the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse market developments; and

	·	our ability to establish and maintain collaborations and the terms and success of the collaborations, including the timing and amount of payments that we might receive from potential strategic collaborators.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings and debt financings, strategic collaborations and licensing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing additional equity securities, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences, which are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration, strategic alliance and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or product candidates, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Our short operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate the success of our business to date and to assess our future viability.

We commenced active operations in January 2004. Our operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing our company, developing and securing our technology and undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates. We have limited experience completing large-scale, pivotal clinical trials and we have not yet demonstrated our ability to obtain regulatory approvals, manufacture a commercial scale product, or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf, or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for successful product commercialization. Consequently, any predictions you make about our future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be if we had a longer operating history.

In addition, as a new business, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known and unknown factors. We may need to transition from a company with a research focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities. We may not be successful in such a transition.

Risks Related to the Development and Commercialization of Our Product Candidates

We have depended heavily on the success of our ultra-rapid-acting mealtime insulin development program.

We have invested a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in the development of our most advanced product candidate, Linjeta™. The FDA has concluded, however, that the results from our completed pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials of Linjeta™ are not sufficient to obtain marketing approval for Linjeta™. We have chosen not to complete the two new pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials of Linjeta™ required by the FDA, but instead to advance two new formulations into the clinic. If we experience significant delays in doing so, or the clinical data are not supportive of further development, our business may be materially harmed.

Our development of BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 or other RHI-or insulin analog-based formulations may not be successful; some formulations may have different regulatory requirements to obtain marketing approval from the FDA.

While we have significant experience with the technology we use to develop mealtime insulin formulations designed to be more rapid-acting than currently available products, we cannot guarantee that our program to advance BIOD-105, BIOD-107 or any other RHI-or insulin analog-based formulation will be successful. Some of these formulations may be less stable in accelerated testing than the Linjeta™ formulation submitted in our NDA. We may be unable to develop a new formulation that is as tolerable and stable as is minimally acceptable to us, a potential strategic partner or the FDA. Furthermore, the regulatory requirements for any alternate formulation may not meet our expectations or may be different from those applicable to the formulation of Linjeta™ submitted in our NDA. For example, advancing any formulation based on an insulin analog may necessitate our conducting additional toxicology work prior to initiation of Phase 1 clinical trials.

We may never reinitiate significant expenditures on our earlier stage product candidates.

We have suspended significant expenditures on the development of product candidates that are not related to our ultra-rapid-acting insulin or insulin analogs. We cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient resources to allocate to earlier stage product candidates or that the focus of our early stage product development program will not change.

The results of clinical trials do not ensure success in future clinical trials or commercial success.

We have completed and released the results of our two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials of Linjeta™. We have not completed the development of any products through commercialization. In October 2010, the FDA notified us that it would not approve our NDA for Linjeta™ unless and until we conduct two new pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials using the final commercial formulation of Linjeta™, we address deficiencies with the CMC section of our NDA, and our primary third-party manufacturers adequately remediate facility inspection observations. We have decided to advance alternate formulations, BIOD-105 or BIOD-107, into the clinic and discontinued development of earlier formulations of Linjeta™. The outcomes of preclinical testing and clinical trials of prior formulations of Linjeta™ may not be predictive of the success of clinical trials with current or future formulations of Linjeta™. Furthermore, interim or preliminary results of a clinical trial do not necessarily predict final results. We cannot assure you that the clinical trials of any of our ultra-rapid-acting RHI or insulin analog formulations will ultimately be successful. New information regarding the safety, efficacy and tolerability of our RHI or insulin analog formulations may arise that may be less favorable than the data observed to date with respect to our earlier formulations.

If we are not successful in commercializing any of our product candidates, or are significantly delayed in doing so, our business will be materially harmed. The commercial success of our product candidates will depend on several factors, including the following:

	·	successful completion of preclinical development and clinical trials;

	·	our ability to identify and enroll patients who meet clinical trial eligibility criteria;

	·	receipt of marketing approvals from the FDA and similar regulatory authorities outside the United States;

	·	establishing that, with regard to BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 or any other RHI-or insulin analog based-formulation, the formulation is well-tolerated in chronic use;

	·	establishing commercial manufacturing capabilities through arrangements with third-party manufacturers;

	·	launching commercial sales of the products, whether alone or in collaboration with others;

	·	competition from other products; and

	·	continued acceptable safety and tolerability profiles of the products following approval.

If our clinical trials are delayed or do not produce positive results, we may incur additional costs and ultimately be unable to commercialize our product candidates.

Before obtaining regulatory approval for the sale of our product candidates, we must conduct, at our own expense, extensive preclinical tests to demonstrate the safety of our product candidates in animals and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates in humans. Preclinical and clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more of our clinical trials of BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 or alternate RHI- or insulin analog-based formulations can occur at any stage of testing. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during our clinical trials that could delay or prevent our ability to receive regulatory approval or commercialize our product candidates, including:

	·	the number of patients required for our clinical trials may be larger than we anticipate, enrollment in our clinical trials may be slower than we currently anticipate, or participants may drop out of our clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate, any of which would result in significant delays;

	·	our third-party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner;

	·	we might have to suspend or terminate our clinical trials if the participants are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;

	·	regulators or institutional review boards may require that we hold, suspend or terminate clinical research for various reasons, including noncompliance with regulatory requirements;

	·	the cost of our clinical trials may be greater than we anticipate;

	·	the supply or quality of our product candidates or other materials necessary to conduct our clinical trials may be insufficient or inadequate; and

	·	the effects of our product candidates may not be the desired effects, may include undesirable side effects or the product candidates may have other unexpected characteristics.

If we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of our product candidates beyond those that we currently contemplate, if we are unable to successfully complete our clinical trials or other testing, if the results of these trials or tests are not positive or are only modestly positive or if there are safety concerns, we may:

· be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidates;

· not be able to obtain marketing approval;

· obtain approval for indications that are not as broad as intended; or

· have the product removed from the market after obtaining marketing approval.

Our product development costs will also increase if we experience delays in testing or approvals. We do not know whether any preclinical tests or clinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, if at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also could shorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to commercialize our products or product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations.

If our product candidates are found to cause undesirable side effects we may need to delay or abandon our development and commercialization efforts.

Any undesirable side effects that might be caused by our product candidates could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials and could result in the denial of regulatory approval by the FDA or other regulatory authorities for any or all targeted indications. In addition, if any of our product candidates receive marketing approval and we or others later identify undesirable side effects caused by the product, we could face one or more of the following:

· a change in the labeling statements or withdrawal of FDA or other regulatory approval of the product;

· a change in the way the product is administered; or

· the need to conduct additional clinical trials.

Any of these events could prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the affected product or could substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing the product, which in turn could delay or prevent us from generating significant revenues from its sale.

In our analysis of our completed pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials, we found that Linjeta™ was associated with injection site discomfort, although the prevalence of discomfort decreased during the course of the treatment. In addition, in an October 2009 tolerability trial of the liquid formulation of Linjeta™, it was determined that some patients experienced more injection site discomfort with Linjeta™ than they did with Humalog^®.

The commercial success of any product candidates that we may develop, including BIOD-105 and/or BIOD-107, will depend upon the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare payors and others in the medical community.

Any products that we bring to the market, including BIOD-105 or BIOD-107, if they receive marketing approval, may not gain market acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare payors and others in the medical community. If these products do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate significant product revenues and we may not become profitable. Physicians will not recommend our product candidates until clinical data or other factors demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates as compared to other treatments. Even if the clinical safety and efficacy of our product candidates is established, physicians may elect not to recommend these product candidates for a variety of reasons including the reimbursement policies of government and third-party payors, the effectiveness of our competitors in marketing their products and the possibility that patients may experience more injection site discomfort than they experience with competing products.

The degree of market acceptance of our product candidates, if approved for commercial sale, will depend on a number of factors, including:

	·	the willingness and ability of patients and the healthcare community to adopt our products;

	·	the ability to manufacture our product candidates in sufficient quantities with acceptable quality and to offer our product candidates for sale at competitive prices;

	·	the perception of patients and the healthcare community, including third-party payors, regarding the safety, efficacy and benefits of our product candidates compared to those of competing products or therapies;

	·	the convenience and ease of administration of our product candidates relative to existing treatment methods;

	·	the label and promotional claims allowed by the FDA, such as, in the case of BIOD-105 or BIOD-107, claims relating to glycemic control, hypoglycemia, weight gain, injection site discomfort, expiry dating and required handling conditions;

	·	the pricing and reimbursement of our product candidates relative to existing treatments; and

	·	marketing and distribution support for our product candidates.

If we fail to enter into strategic collaborations for the commercialization of our product candidates or if our collaborations are unsuccessful, we may be required to establish our own sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution capabilities which will be expensive, require additional capital we do not currently have, and could delay the commercialization of our product candidates and have a material and adverse effect on our business.

A broad base of physicians, including primary care physicians, internists and endocrinologists, treat patients with diabetes. A large sales force may be required to educate and support these physicians. Therefore, our current strategy for developing, manufacturing and commercializing our product candidates includes securing collaborations with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for the commercialization of our product candidates. To date, we have not entered into any collaborations with pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. We face significant competition in seeking appropriate collaborators. In addition, collaboration agreements are complex and time-consuming to negotiate, document and implement. For all these reasons, it may be difficult for us to find third parties that are willing to enter into collaborations on economic terms that are favorable to us, or at all. Even if we do enter into any such collaboration, the collaboration may not be successful. The success of our collaboration arrangements will depend heavily on the efforts and activities of our collaborators. It is likely that our collaborators will have significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources that they will apply to these collaborations.

If we fail to enter into collaborations, or if our collaborations are unsuccessful, we may be required to establish our own direct sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution capabilities. Establishing these capabilities can be time-consuming and expensive and we have little experience in doing so. Because of our size, we would be at a disadvantage to our potential competitors to the extent they collaborate with large pharmaceutical companies that have substantially more resources than we do. As a result, we would not initially be able to field a sales force as large as our competitors or provide the same degree of market research or marketing support. In addition, our competitors would have a greater ability to devote research and development resources toward expansion of the indications for their products. We cannot assure prospective investors that we will succeed in entering into acceptable collaborations, that any such collaboration will be successful or, if not, that we will successfully develop our own sales, marketing and distribution capabilities.

If we are unable to obtain adequate reimbursement from governments or third-party payors for any products that we may develop or if we are unable to obtain acceptable prices for those products, they may not be purchased or used and our revenues and prospects for profitability will suffer.

Our future revenues and profits will depend heavily upon the availability of adequate reimbursement for the use of our approved product candidates from governmental and other third-party payors, both in the United States and in other markets. Reimbursement by a third-party payor may depend upon a number of factors, including the third-party payor’s determination that use of a product is:

· a covered benefit under its health plan;

· safe, effective and medically necessary;

· appropriate for the specific patient;

· cost-effective; and

· neither experimental nor investigational.

Obtaining reimbursement approval for a product from each government or other third-party payor is a time-consuming and costly process that could require us to provide supporting scientific, clinical and cost-effectiveness data for the use of our products to each payor. We may not be able to provide data sufficient to gain acceptance with respect to reimbursement. Even when a payor determines that a product is eligible for reimbursement, the payor may impose coverage limitations that preclude payment for some uses that are approved by the FDA or comparable authorities. In addition, eligibility for coverage does not imply that any product will be reimbursed in all cases or at a rate that allows us to make a profit or even cover our costs.

Interim payments for new products, if applicable, may also not be sufficient to cover our costs and may not be made permanent.

We may be subject to pricing pressures and uncertainties regarding Medicare reimbursement and reform.

Reforms in Medicare added a prescription drug reimbursement benefit beginning in 2006 for all Medicare beneficiaries. Although we cannot predict the full effects on our business of the implementation of this legislation, it is possible that the new benefit, which will be managed by private health insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, and other managed care organizations, will result in decreased reimbursement for prescription drugs, which may further exacerbate industry-wide pressure to reduce the prices charged for prescription drugs. This could harm our ability to generate revenues.

Governments outside the United States tend to impose strict price controls, which may adversely affect our revenues, if any.

In some countries, particularly the countries of the European Union, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing approval for a product. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost-effectiveness of our product candidate to other available therapies. If reimbursement of our products is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, our business could be adversely affected.

Legislation has been introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would permit more widespread re-importation of drugs from foreign countries into the United States, which may include re-importation from foreign countries where the drugs are sold at lower prices than in the United States. Such legislation, or similar regulatory changes, could decrease the price we receive for any approved products which, in turn, could adversely affect our operating results and our overall financial condition.

Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to limit commercialization of any products that we may develop.

We face an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of our product candidates in human clinical trials and will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any products that we may develop. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against claims that our product candidates or products caused injuries, we will incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

· decreased demand for any product candidates or products that we may develop;

· injury to our reputation;

· withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

· costs to defend the related litigation;

· substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;

· loss of revenue; and

· the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.

We currently carry global liability insurance that we believe is sufficient to cover us from potential damages arising from past or future clinical trials of Linjeta™, BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 or other formulations of ultra-rapid-acting insulins and other product candidates that we may put into the clinic. We also carry local insurance policies per clinical trial of our product candidates. The amount of insurance that we currently hold may not be adequate to cover all liabilities that we may incur. We intend to expand our insurance coverage to include the sale of commercial products if we obtain marketing approval for any products. Insurance coverage is increasingly expensive. We may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost. If losses from product liability claims exceed our liability insurance coverage, we may ourselves incur substantial liabilities. If we are required to pay a product liability claim, we may not have sufficient financial resources to complete development or commercialization of any of our product candidates and, if so, our business and results of operations would be harmed.

We face substantial competition in the development of our product candidates which may result in others developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than we do.

We are engaged in segments of the pharmaceutical industry that are characterized by intense competition and rapidly evolving technology. Many large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations are pursuing the development of novel drugs that target endocrine disorders. We face, and expect to continue to face, intense and increasing competition as new products enter the market and advanced technologies become available. There are several approved injectable rapid-acting mealtime insulin analogs currently on the market including Humalog^®, marketed by Eli Lilly and Company, NovoLog^®, marketed by Novo Nordisk A/S, and Apidra^®, marketed by Sanofi-Aventis. These rapid-acting insulin analogs provide improvement over regular forms of short-acting insulin, including faster subcutaneous absorption, an earlier and greater insulin peak and more rapid post-peak decrease. In addition, other development stage rapid-acting insulin formulations may be approved and compete with any ultra-rapid-acting insulin that we may develop. Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. has conducted a Phase 1 and multiple Phase 2 clinical trials of Humulin^® R and Humalog^® in combination with a recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme and has reported that in each case the combination yielded pharmacokinetics and glucodynamics that better mimicked physiologic mealtime insulin release and activity than Humulin^® R or Humalog^® alone. Novo Nordisk has reported that they have initiated clinical development of an fast-acting insulin analog intended to provide faster onset of action than the currently available fast-acting insulin analogs.

Several companies are also developing alternative insulin systems for diabetes, including MannKind Corporation, which has an inhalable insulin product candidate for which an NDA was submitted in early 2009. Although currently the subject of a complete response letter from the FDA, the approval and acceptance of an inhaled insulin such as MannKind’s inhaled insulin could reduce the overall market for injectable prandial insulin.

Treatment practices can also change with the introduction of new classes of therapy. Currently GLP-1 analogs such as exantide, marketed by Eli Lilly, and liraglutide, marketed by Novo Nordisk, are growing in usage and could delay the start of insulin usage in some patients therefore decreasing the size of the prandial insulin market.

While at this time there are no approved generic or biosimilar insulin analogs in the market in the United States or Europe, in other countries such as India there are multiple approved manufacturers of insulin analogs such has Humalog^®. Both Humalog^® and NovoLog^® have limited remaining patent protection in the United States and Europe. Biocon, an established biosimilar manufacturer, has entered into a collaboration with Pfizer to commercialize biosimilar versions of Humalog^® and NovoLog^®. The possible introduction of lower priced brands or substitutable generic versions of these products could negatively impact the revenue potential of BIOD-105 or BIOD-107.

Potential competitors also include academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations that conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing and commercialization. Our competitors may develop products that are more effective, safer, more convenient or less costly than any that we are developing or that would render our product candidates obsolete or non-competitive. Our competitors may also obtain FDA or other regulatory approval for their products more rapidly than we may obtain approval for ours.

Many of our potential competitors have:

	·	significantly greater financial, technical and human resources than we have and may be better equipped to discover, develop, manufacture and commercialize product candidates;

	·	more extensive experience in preclinical testing and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products;

	·	product candidates that have been approved or are in late-stage clinical development; or

	·	collaborative arrangements in our target markets with leading companies and research institutions.

Our product candidates may be rendered obsolete by technological change.

The rapid rate of scientific discoveries and technological changes could result in one or more of our product candidates becoming obsolete or noncompetitive. For several decades, scientists have attempted to improve the bioavailability of injected formulations and to devise alternative non-invasive delivery systems for the delivery of drugs such as insulin. Our product candidates will compete against many products with similar indications. In addition to the currently marketed rapid-acting insulin analogs, our competitors are developing insulin formulations delivered by oral pills, pulmonary devices and oral spray devices. Our future success will depend not only on our ability to develop our product candidates, but also on our ability to maintain market acceptance against emerging industry developments. We cannot assure present or prospective stockholders that we will be able to do so.

Our business activities involve the storage and use of hazardous materials, which require compliance with environmental and occupational safety laws regulating the use of such materials. If we violate these laws, we could be subject to significant fines, liabilities or other adverse consequences.

Our research and development work and manufacturing processes involve the controlled storage and use of hazardous materials, including chemical and biological materials. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these materials. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of such materials and waste products comply in all material respects with the standards prescribed by federal, state and local laws and regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from hazardous materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of an accident or failure to comply with environmental laws, we could be held liable for any damages that may result, and any such liability could fall outside the coverage or exceed the limits of our insurance. In addition, we could be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future or pay substantial fines or penalties if we violate any of these laws or regulations. Finally, current or future environmental laws and regulations may impair our research, development or production efforts.

Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties

Use of third parties to manufacture our product candidates may increase the risks that we will not have sufficient quantities of our product candidates or such quantities at an acceptable cost, or that our suppliers will not be able to manufacture our products in their final dosage form. In any such case, clinical development and commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed, prevented or impaired.

We do not currently own or operate manufacturing facilities for commercial production of our product candidates. We have limited experience in drug manufacturing and we lack the resources and the capabilities to manufacture any of our product candidates on a clinical or commercial scale. Our current strategy is to outsource all manufacturing of our product candidates and products to third parties. We also expect to rely upon third parties to produce materials required for the commercial production of our product candidates if we succeed in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals. We have previously relied on a number of manufacturers such as Hyaluron, Inc. and Wockhardt, Ltd., to manufacture our product candidates, but we do not have commercial supply agreements with these third parties.

Reliance on third-party manufacturers entails risks to which we would not be subject if we manufactured product candidates or products ourselves, including:

	·	reliance on the third party for regulatory compliance and quality assurance;

	·	the possible breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third party because of factors beyond our control; and

	·	the possible refusal by the third party to support our manufacturing programs, based on its own business priorities, at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us.

Our manufacturers may not be able to comply with current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP, regulations or other regulatory requirements or similar regulatory requirements outside the United States. Our manufacturers are subject to unannounced inspections by the FDA, state regulators and similar regulators outside the United States. Our failure, or the failure of our third-party manufacturers, to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, failure of regulatory authorities to grant marketing approval of our product candidates, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of product candidates or products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which could significantly and adversely affect supplies of our product candidates.

Our product candidates and any products that we may develop may compete with other product candidates and products for access to manufacturing facilities. There are a limited number of manufacturers that operate under cGMP regulations and that are both capable of manufacturing for us and willing to do so. If the third parties that we engage to manufacture product for our clinical trials should cease to continue to do so for any reason, we likely would experience delays in advancing these trials while we identify and qualify replacement suppliers and we may be unable to obtain replacement supplies on terms that are favorable to us. In addition, if we are not able to obtain adequate supplies of our product candidates or the drug substances used to manufacture them, it will be more difficult for us to develop our product candidates and compete effectively.

Our current and anticipated future dependence upon others for the manufacture of our product candidates may adversely affect our future profit margins and our ability to develop product candidates and commercialize any products that receive regulatory approval on a timely and competitive basis.

We rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials and those third parties may not perform satisfactorily, including failing to meet established deadlines for the completion of such trials.

We do not independently conduct clinical trials of our product candidates. We rely on third parties, such as contract research organizations, clinical data management organizations, medical institutions and clinical investigators, to enroll qualified patients and conduct our clinical trials. Our reliance on these third parties for clinical development activities reduces our control over these activities. We are responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance with the general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as Good Clinical Practices, for conducting, recording, and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights, integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control does not relieve us of these responsibilities and requirements. Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our stated protocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, regulatory approvals for our product candidates and will not be able to, or may be delayed in our efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidates.

If our suppliers, principally our sole RHI supplier, fail to deliver materials and provide services needed for the production of BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 or any alternative RHI-or insulin analog-based formulation in a timely and sufficient manner, or if they fail to comply with applicable regulations, clinical development or regulatory approval of our product candidates, commercialization of our products could be delayed, producing additional losses and depriving us of potential product revenue.

We need access to sufficient, reliable and affordable supplies of RHI and other materials for which we rely on various suppliers. We also must rely on those suppliers to comply with relevant regulatory and other legal requirements, including the production of insulin in accordance with cGMP. We can make no assurances that our suppliers, particularly our insulin supplier, will comply with cGMP.

We have entered into an agreement with our existing single RHI supplier from which we obtain all of the RHI that we use for testing and manufacturing BIOD-105 and BIOD-107 or any alternative RHI-based formulation. Our agreement with this insulin supplier has recently been amended so that it will terminate in June 2018.

We believe that our current supplies of RHI, together with the quantities of RHI called for under our existing supply agreement, will be sufficient to allow us to complete the full development program for BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 required by the FDA in order to receive approval to market BIOD-105 or BIOD-107. We may seek to qualify other insulin suppliers to serve as additional or alternative suppliers if we are unable or choose not to enter into a new commercial supply agreement with our existing supplier. We do not anticipate being able to qualify a new insulin supplier in the near term. Even if we do qualify a new supplier in a timely manner, the cost of switching or adding additional suppliers may be significant, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into a commercial supply agreement with a new supplier on favorable terms. If we are unable to procure sufficient quantities of insulin from our current or any future supplier, if supply of RHI and other materials otherwise becomes limited, or if our suppliers do not meet relevant regulatory requirements, and if we were unable to obtain these materials in sufficient amounts, in a timely manner and at reasonable prices, we could be delayed in the manufacturing and possible commercialization of an ultra-rapid-acting insulin, which may have a material adverse effect on our business. We would incur substantial costs and manufacturing delays if our suppliers are unable to provide us with products or services approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitors may develop and market similar or identical products that may reduce demand for our products, and we may be prevented from establishing collaborative relationships on favorable terms.

The following factors are important to our success:

· receiving patent protection for our product candidates;

· maintaining our trade secrets;

· not infringing on the proprietary rights of others; and

· preventing others from infringing our proprietary rights.

We will be able to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our proprietary rights are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. We try to protect our proprietary position by filing U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of our business. Because the patent position of pharmaceutical companies involves complex legal and factual questions, the issuance, scope and enforceability of patents cannot be predicted with certainty. Patents, if issued, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Thus, any patents that we own or license from others may not provide any protection against competitors.

We have been granted one U.S. patent, one European patent, one Hong Kong patent, and one Australian patent that encompasses our Linjeta^® formulations of ultra-rapid-acting insulin, including BIOD-105 and BIOD-107. In addition, we have several pending United States and corresponding foreign and international patent applications relating to Linjeta^® and our other product candidates. These pending patent applications, those we may file in the future, or those we may license from third parties, may not result in patents being issued. If patents do not issue with claims encompassing our products, our competitors may develop and market similar or identical products that compete with ours. Even if patents are issued, they may not provide us with proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar technology. Failure to obtain effective patent protection for our technology and products may reduce demand for our products and prevent us from establishing collaborative relationships on favorable terms.

The active and inactive ingredients in our Linjeta^® formulations of ultra-rapid-acting insulin, including BIOD-105 and BIOD-107, have been known and used for many years and, therefore, are no longer subject to patent protection. Accordingly, our granted U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications are directed to the particular formulations of these ingredients in our products, and their use. Although we believe our formulations and their use are patentable and provide a competitive advantage, even if issued our patents may not prevent others from marketing formulations using the same active and inactive ingredients in similar but different formulations.

We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology, which are not protected by patents, to maintain our competitive position. We try to protect this information by entering into confidentiality agreements with parties that have access to it, such as potential corporate partners, collaborators, employees and consultants. Any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose our confidential information or our competitors may learn of the information in some other way. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar technologies or duplicate any technology that we have developed. If any trade secret, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The laws of many foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

We may become involved in lawsuits and administrative proceedings to protect, defend or enforce our patents that would be expensive and time-consuming.

In order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate patent litigation against third parties in the United States or in foreign countries. In addition, we may be subject to certain opposition proceedings conducted in patent and trademark offices challenging the validity of our patents and may become involved in future opposition proceedings challenging the patents of others. The defense of intellectual property rights, including patent rights, through lawsuits, interference or opposition proceedings, and other legal and administrative proceedings can be costly and can divert our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. Such costs increase our operating losses and reduce our resources available for development activities. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. For example, during the course of this kind of litigation and despite protective orders entered by the court, confidential information may be inadvertently disclosed in the form of documents or testimony in connection with discovery requests, depositions or trial testimony. This disclosure could materially adversely affect our business and financial results.

Claims by other parties that we infringe or have misappropriated their proprietary technology may result in liability for damages, royalties, or other payments, or stop our development and commercialization efforts.

Competitors and other third parties may initiate patent litigation against us in the United States or in foreign countries based on existing patents or patents that may be granted in the future. Many of our competitors may have obtained patents covering products and processes

generally related to our products and processes, and they may assert these patents against us. Moreover, there can be no assurance that these competitors have not sought or will not seek additional patents that may cover aspects of our technology. As a result, there is a greater likelihood of a patent dispute than would be expected if our competitors were pursuing unrelated technologies.

While we conduct patent searches to determine whether the technologies used in our products infringe patents held by third parties, numerous patent applications are currently pending and may be filed in the future for technologies generally related to our technologies, including many patent applications that remain confidential after filing. Due to these factors and the inherent uncertainty in conducting patent searches, there can be no guarantee that we will not violate third-party patent rights that we have not yet identified.

There may be U.S. and foreign patents issued to third parties that relate to aspects of our product candidates. There may also be patent applications filed by these or other parties in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions that relate to some aspects of our product candidates, which, if issued, could subject us to infringement actions. The owners or licensees of these and other patents may file one or more infringement actions against us. In addition, a competitor may claim misappropriation of a trade secret by an employee hired from that competitor. Any such infringement or misappropriation action could cause us to incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit and could distract our management from our business, even if the allegations of infringement or misappropriation are unwarranted. A need to defend multiple actions or claims could have a disproportionately greater impact. In addition, either in response to or in anticipation of any such infringement or misappropriation claim, we may enter into commercial agreements with the owners or licensees of these rights. The terms of these commercial agreements may include substantial payments, including substantial royalty payments on revenues received by us in connection with the commercialization of our products.

Payments under such agreements could increase our operating losses and reduce our resources available for development activities. Furthermore, a party making this type of claim could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages, which would increase our operating losses and reduce our resources available for development activities. A judgment could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing our products or prevent our customers from using our products. If a court determined or if we independently concluded that any of our products or manufacturing processes violated third-party proprietary rights, our clinical trials could be delayed and there can be no assurance that we would be able to reengineer the product or processes to avoid those rights, or to obtain a license under those rights on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

If the FDA does not believe that our product candidates satisfy the requirements for the Section 505(b)(2) approval procedure, or if the requirements for BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 under Section 505(b)(2) are not as we expect, the approval pathway will take longer and cost more than anticipated and in either case may not be successful.

We believe BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 and our RHI-based formulations qualify for approval under Section 505(b)(2) of the FFDCA. Because we are developing new formulations of previously approved chemical entities, such as insulin, this may enable us to avoid having to submit certain types of data and studies that are required in full NDAs and instead submit an NDA under Section 505(b)(2). The FDA has not published any guidance that specifically addresses an NDA for an insulin product candidate under Section 505(b)(2). No other insulin product has yet been approved pursuant to an NDA under Section 505(b)(2). If the FDA determines that NDAs under Section 505(b)(2) are not appropriate and that full NDAs are required for our product candidates, we would have to conduct additional studies, provide additional data and information, and meet additional standards for approval. The time and financial resources required to obtain FDA approval for our product candidates could substantially and materially increase. This would require us to obtain substantially more funding than previously anticipated which could significantly dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Even with this investment, the prospect for FDA approval may be significantly lower. If the FDA requires full NDAs for our product candidates or requires more extensive testing and development for some other reason, our ability to compete with alternative products that arrive on the market more quickly than our product candidates would be adversely impacted.

Notwithstanding the approval of many products by the FDA under Section 505(b)(2) over the last few years, certain brand-name pharmaceutical companies and others have objected to the FDA’s interpretation of Section 505(b)(2). If the FDA’s interpretation of Section 505(b)(2) is successfully challenged, the FDA may be required to change its interpretation of Section 505(b)(2) which could delay or even prevent the FDA from approving any NDA that we submit under Section 505(b)(2). The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive, and it is not uncommon for a manufacturer of an approved product to file a citizen petition with the FDA seeking to delay approval of, or impose additional approval requirements for, pending competing products. If successful, such petitions can significantly delay, or even prevent, the approval of the new product. However, even if the FDA ultimately denies such a petition, the FDA may substantially delay approval while it considers and responds to the petition.

Moreover, even if BIOD-105 or BIOD-107 or an alternate rapid-acting insulin is approved under Section 505(b)(2), the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to other conditions of approval, or may contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product.

Any product for which we obtain marketing approval could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market and we may be subject to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products, when and if any of them are approved.

Any product for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data, labeling, advertising and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual requirements of and review by the FDA and other state and federal regulatory authorities. These requirements include, in the case of FDA, submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration requirements, cGMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records

and documents, requirements regarding the distribution of samples to physicians and recordkeeping. Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to other conditions of approval, or may contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. In addition, if any of our product candidates are approved, our product labeling, advertising and promotion would be subject to regulatory requirements and continuing regulatory review. The FDA strictly regulates the promotional claims that may be made about prescription drug products. In particular, a drug may not be promoted in a misleading manner or for uses that are not approved by the FDA as reflected in the product’s approved labeling. The FDA and other state and federal entities actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting misleading promotion and the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability.

Discovery after approval of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, may result in actions such as:

	·	restrictions on such products’ manufacturers or manufacturing processes;

	·	restrictions on the marketing or distribution of a product;

	·	requirements that we conduct new studies, make labeling changes, and implement Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies;

	·	warning letters;

	·	withdrawal of the products from the market;

	·	refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;

	·	recall of products;

	·	fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;

	·	suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;

	·	refusal to permit the import or export of our products;

	·	product embargo and/or seizure;

	·	injunctions; or

	·	imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

Changes in law, regulations, and policies legislation may preclude approval of our product under a 505(b)(2) or make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory approval of our product candidates and to produce, market and distribute our existing products.

On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law new legislation creating an abbreviated pathway for approval of biological products under the Public Health Service, or PHS Act, that are similar to previously approved biological products. This legislation also expanded the definition of biological product to include proteins such as insulin. The new law contains transitional provisions governing protein products such as insulin that, under certain circumstances, might permit companies to seek approval for their insulin products as biologics under the PHS Act and might require that Biodel’s product be approved under the PHS Act rather than in a 505(b)(2) NDA. We would be unlikely to pursue approval of our insulin product candidates if we were required to seek approval under the PHS Act rather than in a 505(b)(2) NDA.

In addition, the federal and state regulations, policies or guidance may change and new ones may be enacted that could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our product candidates or further restrict or regulate post-approval activities. It is impossible to predict whether additional legislative changes will be enacted, or FDA regulations, guidance or interpretations implemented or modified, or what the impact of such changes, if any, may be.

Failure to obtain regulatory approval in international jurisdictions would prevent us from marketing our products abroad.

We intend to have our products marketed outside the United States. In order to market our products in the European Union and many other jurisdictions, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of other countries regarding safety and efficacy and governing, among other things, clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of our products. The approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing. The time required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. The regulatory approval processes outside the United States may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval, as well as additional risks. In addition, in many countries outside the United States, it is required that the product be approved for reimbursement before the product can be approved for sale in that country. We may not obtain approvals from regulatory authorities outside the United States on a timely basis, if at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions, and approval by one regulatory authority outside the United States does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions or by the FDA. We may not be able to file for regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in any market.

Reports of side effects or safety concerns in related technology fields or in other companies’ clinical trials could delay or prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval or negatively impact public perception of our product candidates.

At present, there are a number of clinical trials being conducted by us and by other pharmaceutical companies involving insulin or insulin delivery systems. The major safety concern with patients taking insulin is the occurrence of hypoglycemic events. If we discover that our product is associated with a significantly increased frequency of hypoglycemic or other adverse events, or if other pharmaceutical companies announce that they observed frequent or significant adverse events in their trials involving insulin or insulin delivery systems, we could encounter delays in the commencement or completion of our clinical trials or difficulties in obtaining the approval of our product candidates. In addition, the public perception of our products might be adversely affected, which could harm our business and results of operations, even if the concern relates to another company’s product.

Risks Related to Employee Matters and Managing Growth

Our future success depends on our ability to retain our chief executive officer and other key executives and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

We are highly dependent on Dr. Errol B. De Souza, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Gerard Michel, our Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Alan Krasner, our Chief Medical Officer. The loss of the services of any of these persons might impede the achievement of our research, development and commercialization objectives. Replacing key employees may be difficult and time-consuming because of the limited number of individuals in our industry with the skills and experiences required to develop, gain regulatory approval of and commercialize our product candidates successfully. We generally do not maintain key person life insurance to cover the loss of any of our employees.

Recruiting and retaining qualified scientific personnel, clinical personnel and sales and marketing personnel will also be critical to our success. We may not be able to attract and retain these personnel on acceptable terms, if at all, given the competition among numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for similar personnel. We also experience competition for the hiring of scientific and clinical personnel from other companies, universities and research institutions. In addition, we rely on consultants and advisors, including scientific and clinical advisors, to assist us in formulating our research and development and commercialization strategy. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by employers other than us and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with other entities that may limit their availability to us.

We may expand our development, regulatory and sales and marketing capabilities, and as a result, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could disrupt our operations.

If our development and commercialization plans for any of our product candidates are successful, we may experience significant growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, particularly in the areas of manufacturing, clinical trials management, and regulatory affairs. To manage our anticipated future growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Due to our limited financial resources we may not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our corporate charter and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team.

Among others, these provisions:

	·	establish a classified board of directors such that not all members of the board are elected at one time;

	·	allow the authorized number of our directors to be changed only by resolution of our board of directors;

	·	limit the manner in which stockholders can remove directors from the board;

	·	establish advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings and nominations to our board of directors;

	·	require that stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called stockholder meeting and prohibit actions by our stockholders by written consent;

	·	limit who may call stockholder meetings;

	·	authorize our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to institute a stockholder rights plan or “poison pill” that would work to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, effectively preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our board of directors; and

	·	require the approval of the holders of at least 75% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast to amend or repeal certain provisions of our charter or bylaws.

In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner.

If our stock price is volatile, purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.

Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile. The stock market in general and the market for biotechnology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price for our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including:

· results of clinical trials of our product candidates or those of our competitors;

· regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries;

· variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;

· developments or disputes concerning patents or other proprietary rights;

· the recruitment or departure of key personnel;

· changes in the structure of healthcare payment systems;

· market conditions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors and issuance of new or changed securities analysts’ reports or recommendations;

· general economic, industry and market conditions; and

· the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section.

Our outstanding warrants may be exercised in the future, which would increase the number of shares in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

In August 2010, we completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 2,398,200 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 2,398,200 shares of our common stock. These warrants had an initial exercise price of $4.716. In December 2010, the exercise price of the warrants was reset to $1.56 per share and in May 2011, the exercise price of the warrants was reset to $1.175 in connection with our May 2011 financing. These warrants will expire on December 1, 2011.

We have never paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have paid no cash dividends on our capital stock to date. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and payment of cash dividends, if any, will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Furthermore, we may in the future become subject to contractual restrictions on, or prohibitions against, the payment of dividends. Capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be investors’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

We incur substantial costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to comply with public company regulations.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as well as other federal and state laws. These requirements may place a strain on our people, systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight will be required. This

may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
