NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

NOTE  A.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The financial statements of Burzynski Research Institute, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), include expenses incurred directly by S.R. Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D. (“Dr. Burzynski”) within his medical practice, related to the conduct of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved clinical trials for Antineoplaston drugs used in the treatment of cancer.  These expenses have been reported as research and development costs and as additional paid-in capital.  Cash contributions received from Dr. Burzynski have also been reported as additional paid-in capital, which are used to fund general operating expenses. Expenses related to Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice (unrelated to the clinical trials) have not been included in these financial statements.  Dr. Burzynski is the President, Chairman of the Board and owner of over 80% of the outstanding stock of the Company, and also is the inventor and original patent holder of certain drug products known as “Antineoplastons,” which he has licensed to the Company.

 

The Company and Dr. Burzynski have entered into various agreements which provide the Company the exclusive right in the United States, Canada and Mexico to use, manufacture, develop, sell, distribute, sublicense and otherwise exploit all the rights, titles and interest in Antineoplaston drugs used in the treatment of cancer, once an Antineoplaston drug is approved for sale by the FDA.

 

The Company is primarily engaged as a research and development facility for Antineoplaston drugs being tested for the use in the treatment of cancer.  The Company is currently conducting clinical trials on various Antineoplastons in accordance with FDA regulations. At this time, however, none of the Antineoplaston drugs have received FDA approval; further, there can be no assurance that FDA approval will be granted. In September 2004, the Company announced that the FDA awarded orphan drug status to Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 for the treatment of brain stem glioma.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Certain disclosures and information normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management of the Company, these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of May 31, 2009 and February 28, 2009, and results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2009.

NOTE  B.      ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY

 

The Company has not generated significant revenues since its inception and has suffered losses from operations, has a working capital deficit and has an accumulated deficit.  Dr. Burzynski has funded the capital and operational needs of the Company through his medical practice since inception, and has entered into various agreements to continue such funding.

 

The Company is economically dependent on its funding through Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice.  A portion of Dr. Burzynski’s patients are admitted and treated as part of the clinical trial programs, which are regulated by the FDA.  The FDA imposes numerous regulations and requirements regarding these patients and the Company is subject to inspection at any time by the FDA.  These regulations are complex and subject to interpretation and though it is management’s intention to comply fully with all such regulations, there is the risk that the Company is not in compliance and is thus subject to sanctions imposed by the FDA.

 

In addition, as with any medical practice, Dr. Burzynski is subject to potential claims by patients and other potential claimants commonly arising out of the operation of a medical practice.  The risks associated with Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice directly affect his ability to fund the operations of the Company.

 

It is also the intention of the directors and management to seek additional capital through the sale of securities.  The proceeds from such sales will be used to fund the Company’s operating deficit until it achieves positive operating cash flow.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional capital.

 

NOTE  C.      STOCK OPTIONS

 

At May 31, 2009, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described below.

 

On September 14, 1996 the Company granted 600,000 stock options, with an exercise price of $0.35 per share, to an officer who is no longer with the Company.  The options vested as follows:

 

400,000 options		September 14, 1996
100,000 options		June 1, 1997
100,000 options		June 1, 1998

 

The options are valid in perpetuity.  In addition, for a period of 10 years from the grant date, they increase in the same percentage of any new shares of stock issued; however, no additional shares have been issued since September 14, 1996.  None of the options have been exercised as of May 31, 2009.

NOTE  C.      STOCK OPTIONS - continued

 

Effective March 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified-prospective-transition method.  Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized after March 1, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of March 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to March 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).

 

The Company did not grant any options and no options previously granted vested in any of the periods presented in these financial statements.  Due to this fact there was no effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).

 

NOTE  D.      INCOME TAXES

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) on March 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company had no material change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period or the current period.

 

The federal income tax returns of the Company for 2008, 2007, and 2006 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties as interest expense when they are accrued or assessed.

NOTE  D.      INCOME TAXES - continued

 

The actual provision for income tax for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, differ from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to the pretax loss as a result of the following:

 

		Three Months Ended May 31,
		2009			2008
Expected income tax benefit		$	(380,393	)	$	(434,969	)
Effect of expenses deducted directly to Dr. Burzynski		380,554			435,925
Nondeductible expenses and other adjustments		6,770			3,068
Change in valuation allowance		(6,931		)	(4,024		)
Texas gross margin tax, based on income		474			2,811
Income tax expense		$	474		$	2,811

 

At May 31, 2009, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $0, which includes a valuation allowance of $471,095.  The Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards will depend on its ability to generate adequate future taxable income.  The Company has no historical earnings on which to base an expectation of future taxable income.  Accordingly, a valuation allowance for the total deferred tax assets has been provided.  At May 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future income in the amount of $1,250,714, which may be carried forward in varying amounts until 2030.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

 

The following is a discussion of the financial condition of the Company as of May 31, 2009, and the results of operations comparing the three months ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008.  It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2009.

 

Introduction

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1984 in order to engage in the research, production, marketing, promotion and sale of certain medical chemical compounds composed of growth-inhibiting peptides, amino acid derivatives and organic acids which are known under the trade name “Antineoplastons.”  The Company believes Antineoplastons are useful in the treatment of human cancer and is currently conducting Phase II clinical trials of Antineoplastons relating to the treatment of cancer.  The Company has generated no significant revenue since its inception, and does not expect to generate any operating revenues until such time, if any, as Antineoplastons are approved for use and sale by the FDA.  The Company’s sole source of funding is S.R. Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D. (“Dr. Burzynski”), the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  Dr. Burzynski funds the Company’s operations from his medical practice pursuant to certain agreements between Dr. Burzynski and the Company.  Funds received by the Company from Dr. Burzynski are reported as additional paid-in capital to the Company.

 

The Company is primarily engaged as a research and development facility of drugs currently being tested for the use in the treatment of cancer, and provides consulting services.  The Company is currently conducting 12 FDA-approved clinical trials.  The Company holds the exclusive right in the United States, Canada and Mexico to use, manufacture, develop, sell, distribute, sublicense and otherwise exploit all the rights, titles and interest in Antineoplaston drugs used in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, once an Antineoplaston drug is approved for sale by the FDA.

 

In September 2004, the Company announced that the FDA awarded orphan drug status to Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 for treating patients with brain stem gliomas.  On December 2, 2008, the Company announced that the orphan drug designation of Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 was expanded to the treatment of all gliomas.

 

On January 13, 2009, the Company announced that the Company had reached an agreement with the FDA for the Company to move forward with a Phase III clinical trial of combination Antineoplaston therapy plus radiation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic brain stem gliomas.  The agreement was made under the FDA’s Special Protocol Assessment procedure, meaning that the design and planned analysis of the Phase III study is acceptable to support a regulatory submission seeking new drug approval.  The Company intends to enter into a clinical development agreement with a contract research organization for services relating to the Phase III clinical study, including initially a feasibility analysis of the patient enrollment and site requirements of the planned study.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended May 31, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended May 31, 2008

 

Research and development costs were approximately $992,000 and $1,213,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease of $221,000 or 18% was due to decreases in personnel cost of $28,000, material costs of $197,000,  consulting and quality control costs of $1,000 and other research and development costs of $1,000 offset by increases in facility and equipment costs of $6,000.

 

General and administrative expenses were approximately $127,000 and $66,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The increase of $61,000 or 92% was due to increases in legal and professional fees of $34,000, and other general and administrative expenses of $27,000.

 

The Company had net losses of approximately $1,119,000 and $1,282,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease in the net loss from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to the decreases in research and development costs due to decreases in personnel costs, material costs,  consulting and quality control costs and other research and development costs offset by increase in facility and equipment costs and increases in general and administrative expenses due to increases in legal and professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s operations have been funded entirely by contributions from Dr. Burzynski and from funds generated from Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice.  Effective March 1, 1997, the Company entered into a Research Funding Agreement with

 

9

Table of Contents

 

Dr. Burzynski (the “Research Funding Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to undertake all scientific research in connection with the development of new or improved Antineoplastons for the treatment of cancer and Dr. Burzynski agreed to fund the Company’s Antineoplaston research for that purpose.  Under the Research Funding Agreement, the Company hires such personnel as is required to conduct Antineoplaston research, and Dr. Burzynski funds the Company’s research expenses, including expenses to conduct the clinical trials.  Dr. Burzynski also provides the Company laboratory and research space as needed to conduct the Company’s research activities.  The Research Funding Agreement also provides that Dr. Burzynski may fulfill his funding obligations in part by providing the Company such administrative support as is necessary for the Company to manage its business.  Dr. Burzynski pays the full amount of the Company’s monthly and annual budget of expenses for the operation of the Company, together with other unanticipated but necessary expenses which the Company incurs.  In the event the research results in the approval of any additional patents for the treatment of cancer, Dr. Burzynski shall own all such patents, but shall license to the Company the patents based on the same terms, conditions and limitations as are in the current license between Dr. Burzynski and the Company.

 

Dr. Burzynski has unlimited and free access to all equipment which the Company owns, so long as such use does not conflict with the Company’s use of such equipment, including without limitation, all equipment used in the manufacturing of Antineoplastons used in the clinical trials.  The amounts which Dr. Burzynski is obligated to pay under the agreement shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the following: (1) any income which the Company receives for services provided to other companies for research and/or development of other products, less such identifiable marginal or additional expenses necessary to produce such income, or (2) the net proceeds of any stock offering or private placement which the Company receives during the term of the agreement up to a maximum of $1,000,000 in a given Company fiscal year.

 

The Research Funding Agreement, as amended, contains an annual automatic renewal provision providing for an additional one-year term, unless one party notifies the other party at least thirty days prior to the expiration of the then current term of the agreement of its intention not to renew the agreement.  Subject to the foregoing, the term of the Research Funding Agreement was renewed and extended until February 28, 2010.  It is expected that the Research Funding Agreement will continue to renew each year prospectively unless terminated under the provisions of the agreement.

 

The Research Funding Agreement automatically terminates in the event that Dr. Burzynski owns less than fifty percent of the outstanding shares of the Company, or is removed as President and/or Chairman of the Board of the Company, unless Dr. Burzynski notifies the Company in writing of his intention to continue the agreement notwithstanding this automatic termination provision.

 

The Company estimates that it will spend approximately $3,900,000 during the remaining three quarters of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2010.  The Company estimates that ninety-five percent (95%) of this amount will be spent on research and development and the continuance of FDA-approved clinical trials.  While the Company anticipates that Dr. Burzynski will continue to fund the Company’s research and FDA-related costs, there is no assurance that Dr. Burzynski will be able to continue to fund the Company’s operations pursuant to the Research Funding Agreement or otherwise.  The Company believes Dr. Burzynski will be financially able to fund the Company’s operations for at least the next year.  In addition, Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice has successfully funded the Company’s research activities over the last 25 years and, in 1997, his medical practice was expanded to include traditional cancer treatment options such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy in response to FDA requirements that cancer patients utilize more traditional cancer treatment options in order to be eligible to participate in the Company’s Antineoplaston clinical trials.  As a result of the expansion of Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice, the financial condition of the medical practice has improved Dr. Burzynski’s ability to fund the Company’s operations.

 

The Company may be required to seek additional capital through equity or debt financing or the sale of assets until the Company’s operating revenues are sufficient to cover operating costs and provide positive cash flow; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional capital on acceptable terms to the Company.  In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will ever achieve positive operating cash flow.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain matters discussed in this quarterly report, except for historical information contained herein, may constitute “forward-looking statements” that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions.  These statements encompass information that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact and often may be identified with words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects” and other similar expressions.  Management’s expectations and assumptions regarding Company operations and other future results are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Item 4T.   Controls and Procedures

 

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer (who is also the Company’s principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer (who is also the Company’s principal financial officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information required to be included in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.  There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls subsequent to that date.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

 

The Company’s activities are subject to regulation by various governmental agencies, including the FDA, which regularly monitor the Company’s operations and often impose requirements on the conduct of its clinical trials and other aspects of the Company’s business operations.  The Company’s policy is to comply with all such regulatory requirements.  From time to time, the Company is also subject to potential claims by patients and other potential claimants commonly arising out of the operation of a medical practice.  The Company seeks to minimize its exposure to claims of this type wherever possible.

 

Currently, the Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.  Moreover, the Company is not aware of any such legal proceedings that are contemplated by governmental authorities with respect to the Company or any of its properties.
