GEOVAX LABS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT-STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2007
1. Description of Company and Basis of Presentation
     GeoVax Labs, Inc. (“GeoVax” or the “Company”), is a development stage biotechnology company engaged in research and development activities with a mission to develop, license and commercialize the manufacture and sale of human vaccines for diseases caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other infectious agents. The Company has exclusively licensed from Emory University certain Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) vaccine technology which was developed in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
     GeoVax was originally incorporated under the laws of Illinois as Dauphin Technology, Inc. (“Dauphin”). Until December 2003, Dauphin marketed mobile hand-held, pen-based computers and broadband set-top boxes and provided private, interactive cable systems to the extended stay hospitality industry. The Company was unsuccessful and its operations were terminated in December 2003. On September 28, 2006, Dauphin completed a merger (the “Merger”) with GeoVax, Inc. which was incorporated on June 27, 2001 (date of “inception”). As a result of the Merger, the shareholders of GeoVax, Inc. exchanged their shares of common stock for Dauphin common stock and GeoVax, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dauphin. In connection with the Merger, Dauphin changed its name to GeoVax Labs, Inc., replaced its officers and directors with those of GeoVax, Inc. and moved its offices to Atlanta, Georgia. The Company currently does not plan to conduct any business other than GeoVax, Inc.’s business of developing new products for the protection from, and treatment of, human diseases.
     The Merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, Dauphin was treated as the “acquired” company and, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of GeoVax, Inc. issuing stock for the net monetary assets of Dauphin, accompanied by a recapitalization of GeoVax, Inc. Accordingly, all prior year comparative financial information presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, or in the notes herein, as well as any references to prior operations, are those of GeoVax, Inc.
     The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”, and is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to research and development. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from equity financings and government grants received through Emory University. The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue its research and development activities, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of its product candidates, and to commence sales and marketing efforts, if the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory approvals are obtained. In order to meet its operating cash flow requirements management plans to consider additional offerings of its common stock, debt or convertible debt instruments. While the Company believes that it will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, there can be no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that it will succeed in its future operations. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2007 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, which the Company’s management believes to be necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2007. The Company’s operating results are expected to fluctuate for the foreseeable future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of the results in future periods.

     The Company disclosed in Note 2 to its financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 those accounting policies that it considers significant in determining its results of operations and financial position. There have been no material changes to, or application of, the accounting policies previously identified and described in the Form 10-K.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
     In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. FIN No. 48 presents a two-step process for evaluating a tax position. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure the benefit to be recorded from tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, by determining the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, and recognizing that amount in the financial statements. The accounting provisions of FIN 48 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. See Note 5.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and financial condition, if any.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company currently has one equity-based compensation plan from which stock-based compensation awards can be granted to employees and directors. The Company recorded stock-based compensation of $45,755 and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     The following table sets forth fair value per share information, including related weighted average assumptions, used to determine stock-based compensation cost for our stock options consistent with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments:

4. Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants
     In January 2007, the Company sold 1,543,210 shares of its common stock to two individual accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. The Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 771,605 shares of common stock at a price of $0.75 per share, expiring on December 31, 2009.
5. Income Taxes
     As discussed in Note 2, on January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48. There was no impact on our financial statements upon adoption. Because of our historical significant net operating losses, we have not been subject to income tax since inception. We maintain deferred tax assets that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. These deferred tax assets include net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of our history of losses. Utilization of operating losses and credits may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to ownership change provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition And Results of Operations
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
     In addition to historical information, the information included in this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and should not be relied upon as predictions of future events. Certain such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and may be incapable of being realized. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
whether we can raise additional capital as and when we need it;
whether we are successful in developing our product;
whether we are able to obtain regulatory approvals in the United States and other countries for sale of our product; and
whether we can compete successfully with others in our market.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s analysis only. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
     Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our financial statements. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate these estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be 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.
Overview
     GeoVax is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing human vaccines for diseases caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus and other infectious agents. We have exclusively licensed from Emory University certain AIDS vaccine technology which was developed in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
     Thus far in our vaccine development activities, our vaccine candidates have undergone preclinical efficacy testing in non-human primates and Phase I clinical testing in humans. The human trial, which was conducted by the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), a division of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), began in January 2003 and was satisfactorily concluded in June 2004.
     The start of a series of four additional human trials (conducted by HVTN) evaluating our AIDS vaccines at four locations in the United States began in April 2006. Another human trial began in September 2006 with two more scheduled for mid-2007. The cost of the human clinical trials to date have been borne by HVTN, with GeoVax incurring costs associated with manufacturing the clinical vaccine supplies and other study support. Our vaccine manufacturing costs, as well as the costs of our preclinical testing have been partially funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health issued to Emory University and subcontracted to us pursuant to collaborative arrangements with Emory. It is unlikely that additional government grant funding will be available to us as we progress to the later stages of our vaccine development activities.
     We anticipate incurring additional losses for several years as we expand our drug development and clinical programs. We also expect that losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that such fluctuations may be substantial. Conducting clinical trials for our drug candidates in development is a lengthy, time-consuming and expensive process. We do not expect to generate product sales from our drug discovery and development efforts for several years, if at all. If we

Table of Contents

are unable to successfully develop and market pharmaceutical products over the next several years, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely impacted.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     We have identified the following accounting principles that we believes are key to an understanding of our financial statements. These important accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
     Other Assets – Other assets consist principally of license agreements for the use of technology obtained through the issuance of our common stock. These license agreements are amortized on a straight line basis over ten years.
     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the discounted expected future net cash flows from the assets.
     Stock-Based Compensation – Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the prospective application method which requires us to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 123R prospectively to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after December 31, 2005. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award.
Results of Operations — Three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006
     We recorded a net loss of $587,281 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to a net loss of $341,206 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Our operating results will typically fluctuate due to the timing of activities and related costs associated with our vaccine research and development activities. However, the increase in our net loss from 2006 to 2007 is primarily attributable to higher general and administrative costs as described below.
     Grant revenue relates to projects covered by grants from the National Institutes of Health issued to Emory University and subcontracted to us pursuant to collaborative arrangements with Emory University. We did not record any grant revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2007 or 2006. Grant funding from federal agencies is primarily allocated to basic research projects; therefore, the availability of federal grant money to us is expected to decline as our research moves toward product development and human testing of formulated AIDS vaccines. Although we do not expect to receive any direct grant funding or grant funding subcontracted through Emory during 2007, we expect our planned clinical trials to be conducted and funded by the HVTN.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred $204,795 of research and development expense as compared to $228,706 during the three months ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of $23,911 or approximately 10%. Research and development expenses vary considerably on a quarter-to-quarter basis, depending on our need for vaccine manufacturing and testing of manufactured vaccine by third parties. We expect our research and development costs to increase later in the year as we manufacture more vaccine supplies for clinical trials in 2007 and in 2008. We expect that our research and development costs will continue to increase as we progress through the human clinical trial process leading up to possible product approval by the FDA.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred general and administrative costs of $361,172, as compared to $122,347 during the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $238,825 or approximately 195%. General and administrative costs include officers’ salaries, legal and accounting costs, patent costs, and amortization expense associated with intangible assets. Our general and administrative costs have increased substantially over the prior year, primarily due to the additional costs associated with being a public company subsequent to the Merger in September 2006. These costs include the hiring of a Chief Financial Officer and of a Senior Vice President, higher legal and accounting fees, fees and expenses associated with an expanded Board of Directors, and the cost of implementing an investor relations program.

     Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was made up of $24,441 of interest income as compared to interest income of $9,847 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The variances between periods are primarily attributable to the cash available for investment, which totaled $1,712,762 on March 31, 2007 and $667,571 on March 31, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     At March 31, 2007 our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,712,762, as compared to $2,088,149 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $375,387. Working capital totaled $1,660,549 at March 31, 2007, compared to $1,933,165 at December 31, 2006. Without consideration given to additional fund-raising efforts, we believe that our current working capital is sufficient to support our planned level of operations into the third quarter of 2007, or longer should we defer some of our planned expenditures.
     Sources of Cash. Due to our significant research and development expenditures, we have not been profitable and have generated operating losses since our inception in 2001. Our primary source of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was from sales of our equity securities.
     Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $630,387 and $618,147 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The fluctuations between periods are primarily due to fluctuations in our net losses, offset by non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation expense, and net changes in our assets and liabilities.
     Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Our investing activities have consisted predominantly of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, were $-0- and $1,842, respectively.
     Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $255,000 and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we received $250,000 in proceeds from the sale of our common stock and $5,000 from the exercise of employee stock options.
     Our capital requirements, particularly as they relate to product research and development, have been and will continue to be significant. We intend to seek FDA approval of our products, which may take several years. We will not generate revenues from our products for at least several years, if at all, and we will be dependent on obtaining financing from third parties in order to maintain our operations, including our clinical program. Although we are actively negotiating terms for a financing arrangement, we currently have no commitments from any third parties to provide us with capital. We cannot assure that additional funding will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to obtain additional funding when needed, we would be forced to scale back, or terminate, our operations, or to seek to merge with, or to be acquired by, another company.
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     We do not currently have any market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes or otherwise, therefore, we do not have exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market risks.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures
     Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the following changes have been made to internal controls over financial reporting:

Table of Contents

    At its meeting on December 7, 2006, our Board of Directors formed an Audit Committee. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, our Audit Committee has taken an active role in the evaluation and review of our internal controls and in reviewing our financial statements.
 
    Effective January 1, 2007, we made changes to our policies and procedures for recording transactions so as to further strengthen our segregation of duties.
     Our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
PART II— OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 Legal Proceedings
     None
Item 1A Risk Factors
     We face a number of substantial risks. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The following factors should be considered in connection with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are a development stage company and, other than research and development, have no other operations.
     We are a development stage company and, other than our research and development activities, have no other operations. Our products are not ready for sale. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue in business. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we had a net loss of $587,281 and a net loss since inception of $6,870,894.
Our products are still being developed and are unproven. These products may not be successful.
     In order to become profitable we must generate revenue through sales of our products, however our products are in varying stages of development and testing. Our products have not been proven in human research trials and have not been approved by any government agency for sale. If we cannot successfully develop and prove our products, and if we do not develop other sources of revenue, we will not become profitable and at some point we would discontinue operations.
We have sold no products or generated any revenues and we do not anticipate any significant revenues to be generated in the foreseeable future.
     We have conducted pre-clinical trials and are conducting clinical trials and will continue to do so for several more years before we are able to commercialize our technology. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant revenues.
Our business will require continued funding. If we do not receive adequate funding, we may not be able to continue our operations.
     To date, we have financed our operations principally through the private placement of common and preferred stock, and from government grants. We will require substantial additional financing at various intervals for our operations, including for clinical trials, for operating expenses including intellectual property protection and enforcement, for pursuit of regulatory approvals and for establishing or contracting out manufacturing, marketing and sales functions. There is no assurance that such additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are not able to secure the significant funding that is required to maintain and continue our operations at current levels or at levels that may be required in the future, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

We are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in new businesses. Our failure to plan or forecast accurately could have a material adverse impact on our development.
     We are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in new businesses, including the following:
    we may not have enough money to develop our products and bring them to market;
 
    we may experience unanticipated development or marketing expenses, which may make it more difficult to develop our products and bring them to market;
 
    even if we are able to develop products and bring them to market, we may not earn enough revenue from the sales of our products to cover the costs of operating our business.
     If, because of our failure to plan or project accurately, we are unsuccessful in our efforts to develop products or if the products we develop do not produce revenues as anticipated, it is not likely we will ever become profitable and we may be required to curtail some or all of our operations.
Our success will be dependent, in part, upon our President and Chief Executive Officer, Donald Hildebrand and Harriet Robinson, our primary scientist. The loss of the services of either of these individuals would have an adverse effect our operations.
     Our success depends, to a significant degree, on our continued receipt of services from our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Donald G. Hildebrand, and on the research expertise of Dr. Harriet Robinson. The loss of services of either of these individuals would have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Regulatory and legal uncertainties could result in significant costs or otherwise harm our business.
     In order to manufacture and sell our products, we must comply with extensive international and domestic regulation. In order to sell our products in the United States, approval from the FDA is required. The FDA approval process is expensive and time-consuming. We cannot predict whether our products will be approved by the FDA. Even if they are approved, we cannot predict the time frame for approval. Foreign regulatory requirements differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may, in some cases, be more stringent or difficult to obtain than FDA approval. As with the FDA, we cannot predict if or when we may obtain these regulatory approvals. If we cannot demonstrate that our products can be used safely and successfully in a broad segment of the patient population on a long-term basis, our products would likely be denied approval by the FDA and the regulatory agencies of foreign governments.
We will face intense competition and rapid technological change that could result in products that are superior to the products we will be commercializing or developing.
     The market for vaccines that protect against and treat HIV/AIDS is intensely competitive and is subject to rapid and significant technological change. We will have numerous competitors in the United States and abroad, including, among others, large companies such as Merck & Co. and Chiron Inc. These competitors may develop technologies and products that are more effective or less costly than any of our future products or that could render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. We expect most of these competitors to have substantially more resources than us. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry continues to experience consolidation, resulting in an increasing number of larger, more diversified companies than us. Among other things, these companies can spread their research and development costs over much broader revenue bases than we can and can influence customer and distributor buying decisions.
     Our products may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors and the medical community. Significant factors in determining whether we will be able to compete successfully include:
    the efficacy and safety of our vaccines;
 
    the time and scope of regulatory approval;
 
    reimbursement coverage from insurance companies and others;
 
    the price and cost-effectiveness of our products; and
 
    patent protection.

Our product candidates are based on new technology and, consequently, are inherently risky. Concerns about the safety and efficacy of our products could limit our future success.
     We are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of product candidates based on new technologies. These risks include the possibility that the products we create will not be effective, that our product candidates will be unsafe or otherwise fail to receive the necessary regulatory approvals or that our product candidates will be hard to manufacture on a large scale or will be uneconomical to market.
     Many pharmaceutical products cause multiple potential complications and side effects, not all of which can be predicted with accuracy and many of which may vary from patient to patient. Long term follow-up data may reveal additional complications associated with our products. The responses of potential physicians and others to information about complications could materially affect the market acceptance of our products, which in turn would materially harm our business.
Unsuccessful or delayed regulatory approvals required to exploit the commercial potential of our products could increase our future development costs or impair our future sales.
     None of our products or technologies have been approved by the FDA for sales in the United States or in foreign countries. To exploit the commercial potential of our technologies, we are conducting and planning to conduct additional pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. This process is expensive and can require a significant amount of time. Failure can occur at any stage of testing, even if the results are favorable. Failure to adequately demonstrate safety and efficacy in clinical trials would prevent regulatory approval and restrict our ability to commercialize our technologies. Any such failure may severely harm our business. In addition, any approvals we obtain may not cover all of the clinical indications for which approval is sought, or may contain significant limitations in the form of narrow indications, warnings, precautions or contraindications with respect to conditions of use, or in the form of onerous risk management plans, restrictions on distribution, or post-approval study requirements.
State pharmaceutical marketing compliance and reporting requirements may expose us to regulatory and legal action by state governments or other government authorities.
     In recent years, several states, including California, Vermont, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico and West Virginia, have enacted legislation requiring pharmaceutical companies to establish marketing compliance programs and file periodic reports on sales, marketing, pricing and other activities. Similar legislation is being considered in other states. Many of these requirements are new and uncertain, and available guidance is limited. Unless we are in full compliance with these laws, we could face enforcement action and fines and other penalties and could receive adverse publicity, all of which could harm our business.
We may be subject to new federal and state legislation to submit information on our open and completed clinical trials to public registries and databases.
     In 1997, a public registry of open clinical trials involving drugs intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions was established under the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act, or the FDMA, in order to promote public awareness of and access to these clinical trials. Under the FDMA, pharmaceutical manufacturers and other trial sponsors are required to post the general purpose of these trials, as well as the eligibility criteria, location and contact information of the trials. Since the establishment of this registry, there has been significant public debate focused on broadening the types of trials included in this or other registries, as well as providing for public access to clinical trial results. A voluntary coalition of medical journal editors has adopted a resolution to publish results only from those trials that have been registered with a no-cost, publicly accessible database, such as www.clinicaltrials.gov. Federal legislation was introduced in the fall of 2004 to expand www.clinicaltrials.gov and to require the inclusion of study results in this registry. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America has also issued voluntary principles for its members to make results from certain clinical studies publicly available and has established a website for this purpose. Other groups have adopted or are considering similar proposals for clinical trial registration and the posting of clinical trial results. Failure to comply with any clinical trial posting requirements could expose us to negative publicity, fines and other penalties, all of which could materially harm our business.

We will face uncertainty related to pricing and reimbursement and health care reform.
     In both domestic and foreign markets, sales of our products will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement from third-party payors such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers, health maintenance organizations and other health care-related organizations. Reimbursement by such payors is presently undergoing reform and there is significant uncertainty at this time how this will affect sales of certain pharmaceutical products.
     Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental healthcare programs govern drug coverage and reimbursement levels in the United States. Federal law requires all pharmaceutical manufacturers to rebate a percentage of their revenue arising from Medicaid-reimbursed drug sales to individual states. Generic drug manufacturers’ agreements with federal and state governments provide that the manufacturer will remit to each state Medicaid agency, on a quarterly basis, 11% of the average manufacturer price for generic products marketed and sold under abbreviated new drug applications covered by the state’s Medicaid program. For proprietary products, which are marketed and sold under new drug applications, manufacturers are required to rebate the greater of (a) 15.1% of the average manufacturer price or (b) the difference between the average manufacturer price and the lowest manufacturer price for products sold during a specified period.
     Both the federal and state governments in the United States and foreign governments continue to propose and pass new legislation, rules and regulations designed to contain or reduce the cost of health care. Existing regulations that affect the price of pharmaceutical and other medical products may also change before any products are approved for marketing. Cost control initiatives could decrease the price that we receive for any product developed in the future. In addition, third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price and cost-effectiveness of medical products and services and litigation has been filed against a number of pharmaceutical companies in relation to these issues. Additionally, some uncertainty may exist as to the reimbursement status of newly approved injectable pharmaceutical products. Our products may not be considered cost effective or adequate third-party reimbursement may not be available to enable us to maintain price levels sufficient to realize an adequate return on our investment.
Other companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property or proprietary rights, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling products.
     Our success will depend in part on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of third parties. The manufacture, use and sale of new products have been subject to substantial patent rights litigation in the pharmaceutical industry. These lawsuits generally relate to the validity and infringement of patents or proprietary rights of third parties. Infringement litigation is prevalent with respect to generic versions of products for which the patent covering the brand name product is expiring, particularly since many companies which market generic products focus their development efforts on products with expiring patents. Other pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, universities and research institutions may have filed patent applications or may have been granted patents that cover aspects of our products or our licensors’ products, product candidates or other technologies.
     Future or existing patents issued to third parties may contain patent claims that conflict with our products. We expect to be subject to infringement claims from time to time in the ordinary course of business, and third parties could assert infringement claims against us in the future with respect to our current products or with respect to products that we may develop or license. Litigation or interference proceedings could force us to:
    stop or delay selling, manufacturing or using products that incorporate or are made using the challenged intellectual property;
 
    pay damages; or
 
    enter into licensing or royalty agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
     Any litigation or interference proceedings, regardless of their outcome, would likely delay the regulatory approval process, be costly and require significant time and attention of our key management and technical personnel.
Any inability to protect intellectual property rights in the United States and foreign countries could limit our ability to manufacture or sell products.
     We will rely on trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how, continuing technological innovation and, in some cases, patent protection to preserve a competitive position. Our patents and licensed patent rights may be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, and the rights granted in those patents may not provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to us. We and our licensors may not be able to develop patentable products. Even if patent claims

14


Table of Contents

are allowed, the claims may not issue, or in the event of issuance, may not be sufficient to protect the technology owned by or licensed to us. Third party patents could reduce the coverage of the patent’s license, or that may be licensed to or owned by us. If patents containing competitive or conflicting claims are issued to third parties, we may be prevented from commercializing the products covered by such patents, or may be required to obtain or develop alternate technology. In addition, other parties may duplicate, design around or independently develop similar or alternative technologies.
     We may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing or using our intellectual property, and the parties from whom we may license intellectual property may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing or using the licensed intellectual property. We generally will attempt to control and limit access to, and the distribution of, our product documentation and other proprietary information. Despite efforts to protect this proprietary information, however, unauthorized parties may obtain and use information that we may regard as proprietary. Other parties may independently develop similar know-how or may even obtain access to these technologies.
     The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary information to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and many companies have encountered significant problems and costs in protecting their proprietary information in these foreign countries.
     The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the courts have not established a consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in pharmaceutical patents. The allowance of broader claims may increase the incidence and cost of patent interference proceedings and the risk of infringement litigation. On the other hand, the allowance of narrower claims may limit the value of our proprietary rights.
We may be required to defend lawsuits or pay damages for product liability claims.
     Product liability is a major risk in testing and marketing biotechnology and pharmaceutical products. We may face substantial product liability exposure in human clinical trials and for products that we sell after regulatory approval. We carry product liability insurance and we expect to continue such policies. Product liability claims, regardless of their merits, could exceed policy limits, divert management’s attention, and adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products.
Compliance with requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will increase our costs and require additional management resources, and we may not successfully comply.
     As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing the Company’s financial statements must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Although the SEC has postponed the effectiveness of these requirements several times, if the SEC does not postpone or otherwise alter these requirements again, then we expect that the requirement to include a report of management on the Company’s internal controls, including the requirement to include the attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, will first apply to our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. If we are required to comply, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses; and compliance will occupy a substantial amount of time of our board of directors and management. Uncertainty exists regarding our ability to comply with these requirements by the SEC’s current deadlines. If we are unable to complete the required assessment as to the adequacy of our internal control reporting or if we conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 and future year-ends, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial reporting. In addition, while we may expand our staff to assist in complying with the additional requirements when and if they become applicable, we may encounter substantial difficulty attracting qualified staff with requisite experience due to the high level of competition for experienced financial professionals.
We may issue preferred stock in the future, and the terms of the preferred stock may reduce the value of our common stock
     We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may determine the terms of future preferred stock offerings without further action by our shareholders. If we issue preferred stock, it could affect the rights or our common shareholders or reduce the value of our outstanding common stock. In particular, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock may include voting rights, preferences as to

dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights, sinking fund provisions, and restrictions on our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party.
We may experience volatility in our stock price, which may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
     The market price for our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile and subject to price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:
    the increased concentration of the ownership of our shares by a limited number of affiliated shareholders following the Merger may limit interest in our securities;
 
    variations in quarterly operating results from the expectations of securities analysts or investors;
 
    announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;
 
    general technological, market or economic trends;
 
    investor perception of the industry or our prospects;
 
    investors entering into short sale contracts;
 
    regulatory developments affecting the biopharmaceutical industry; and
 
    additions or departures of key personnel.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock may adversely affect our market price.
     In connection with the Merger, we issued a significant number of additional shares of our common stock to a small number of shareholders. Although the shares issued in the Merger were not immediately freely tradable, we anticipate such shares will be tradable in market transactions one year after the closing of the Merger subject to the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock into the public market, or perceptions in the market that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.
Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
     In January 2007 we issued 1,543,210 shares of our common stock to two individual investors for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. We relied on section 506 of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the common stock, inasmuch as the common stock was sold without any form of general solicitation or general advertising and sales were made only to accredited investors.
     In January 2007 we issued 123,550 shares of our common stock to a former employee for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000 pursuant to the exercise of stock options. We relied on section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the common stock, inasmuch as the common stock was sold without any form of general solicitation or general advertising and the offeree occupied a status relative to us that afforded him effective access to the information registration would otherwise provide.
