CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CONDENSED NOTES
The unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. All adjustments considered necessary by
management for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full year.
An annual report (Form 10-K) has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") for the year ended December 31, 1994. That report
contains, among other information, a description of the Company's business,
audited financial statements, notes to the financial statements, the report
of the independent auditors and management's discussion and analysis of
results of operations and financial condition. Readers of this report are
presumed to be familiar with that annual report.
The functional currency of Bioxytech S.A. ("Bioxytech"), the Company's
foreign subsidiary, is the French franc. Bioxytech's assets and liabilities
are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the period. Its
statement of operations is translated at the average exchange rate during
the period that Bioxytech's revenues and expenses are included in the
consolidated statement of operations. Gains or losses resulting from foreign
currency translation are accumulated as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses in each of
the last three years, and for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. As of March
31, 1995, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by
$1,482,000. These and other factors indicate that the Company may be unable
to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going
concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, and
to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has engaged an investment banking firm on a best-efforts basis
to assist it in completing a private placement of equity securities. The
Company is seeking to raise from $4,500,000 to $9,000,000 which management
believes would fund operations for up to two years before further financing
would be necessary. Certain of the former Bioxytech shareholders have agreed
to participate in the private placement, and, in February 1995,
5
advanced $766,000 to the Company under secured promissory notes as described
in Note 4. Further, in May 1995 a major customer advanced $600,000 to the
Company under a secured promissory note due in May 1996.
Pending completion of the $4,500,000 to $9,000,000 private placement of
securities, the Company is attempting to raise through the issuance of
either debt or equity securities, a smaller amount of additional capital
($1,000,000 to $2,000,000) that management believes would allow the Company
to continue operating. If the Company is able to raise only an additional
$1,000,000 to $2,000,000 before the end of June 1995, it intends to curtail
its operations through the reduction of personnel and facilities costs and
by slowing its research and development efforts. If the Company does not
raise any additional capital before the end of June 1995, it may be forced
to seek protection of the courts through reorganization, bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings.
3. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been
determined by using the first-in, first-out and specific identification
methods. Inventories at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, consisted of
the following:
March 31, December 31,
1995 1994
Raw materials $181,000 $179,000
Work in process 300,000 357,000
Finished goods 172,000 137,000
-------- --------
Total $653,000 $673,000
======== ========
4. NOTES PAYABLE
In February 1995 certain of the Company's shareholders, who were former
Bioxytech shareholders, advanced $766,000 to the Company pursuant to
promissory notes. The notes are due in February 1996 and bear interest at 8%
per year. The notes are secured by certain of the Company's products and
related assets and are subordinated to the major customer advance as
discussed above in Note 2.
As additional consideration for the loans, the Company has agreed to issue
93,300 shares of its common stock to the lenders, which have been recorded
as a cost of debt issuance and are being amortized over one year, the life
of the notes. Further, the Company has agreed to issue warrants entitling
the lenders to purchase equity securities. The terms and number of warrants
to be issued are directly tied to terms to be developed for investors that
participate in the private placement of equity securities that the Company
is pursuing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
ACQUISITIONS
In September 1994, the Company significantly increased its scientific and
technical staff, patent application portfolio, current product offerings,
research and development programs, research and manufacturing facilities and
its customer base by acquiring Bioxytech and International BioClinical, Inc.
("IBC"). Both acquisitions were completed through the exchange of stock, and
were accounted for as purchases; accordingly, the acquired assets and
liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of
acquisition. IBC was merged into the Company. Bioxytech operates as a
subsidiary of the Company.
Because the acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases, the Company's
consolidated results of operations include the operating results of the
acquired businesses from the date of acquisition only. Therefore, the
results of operations of the acquired businesses are included in the
consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of 1995, but not
for the first quarter of 1994.
The increased research and development investment, particularly in
Bioxytech's programs, has placed significant demand on the Company's limited
financial resources. See "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital
Resources" below.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
OXIS' financial condition and liquidity have declined further during the
first quarter of 1995. Cash and certificates of deposit at March 31, 1995
totaled $922,000, down from $1,432,000 at December 31, 1994. The Company had
a working capital deficit of $1,046,000 at December 31, 1994. The working
capital deficit increased to $1,482,000 at March 31, 1995 as a result of the
loss for the quarter.
The Company expects to continue to report losses in the near term as the
level of expenses is expected to continue to exceed revenues. The Company
must raise additional capital resources during the second quarter of 1995.
Failure to raise such additional capital would cause the Company to severely
curtail or cease its operations. For more information concerning the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, see Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements.
The Company has engaged an investment banking firm on a best-efforts basis
to assist it in completing a private placement of equity securities. The
Company is seeking to raise from $4,500,000 to $9,000,000. OXIS cannot
predict the timing or the probability of success of this effort, and no
assurances can be given that the Company will successfully raise the needed
capital. Certain former shareholders of Bioxytech have committed to
participate in the anticipated private placement. During February 1995,
these former Bioxytech
7
shareholders advanced the Company $766,000 under secured promissory notes
payable in 1996. Further, in May 1995 a major customer advanced $600,000 to
the Company under a secured promissory note due in May 1996. These advances,
and the forbearance of certain major trade creditors and lessors have made
it possible for the Company to continue to operate well into the second
quarter of 1995. Assuming that the Company successfully completes its
$4,500,000 to $9,000,000 private placement of equity securities, it is
anticipated that further financing would be needed within approximately 24
months to allow the Company to continue its planned research and development
programs and marketing of additional products.
While the Company believes that its new products and technologies show
considerable promise, its ability to realize significant revenues therefrom
is dependent upon the Company's success in developing business alliances
with biotechnology and/or pharmaceutical companies to develop and market
these products. There is no assurance that the Company's effort to develop
such business alliances will be successful. Further, there can be no
assurances that the sales of recent years to Sanofi Winthrop (35% of 1994
revenues) will continue. Sanofi Winthrop is currently conducting a second
Phase III trial on its drug, DISMUTEC/TM/ (a coupled form of OXIS' bovine
superoxide dismutase) to treat head trauma; the Company cannot predict
whether these trials will conclude successfully. European sales and
royalties continue to decline due to product withdrawals in four European
countries in 1994. If bovine superoxide dismutase is withdrawn in Spain,
revenues will decrease further. Therefore, no assurances can be given that
the Company will have adequate liquidity and capital resources to continue
operating beyond the second quarter of 1995. The Company cannot predict the
source, terms, amount, form, and/or availability of additional capital to
fund its operations for the remainder of 1995 and beyond.
Pending completion of the $4,500,000 to $9,000,000 private placement of
securities, the Company is attempting to raise through the issuance of
either debt or equity securities, a smaller amount of additional capital
($1,000,000 to $2,000,000) that management believes would allow the Company
to continue operating. If the Company is able to raise only an additional
$1,000,000 to $2,000,000 before the end of June 1995, it intends to curtail
its operations through the reduction of personnel and facilities costs and
by slowing its research and development efforts. If the Company does not
raise any additional capital before the end of June 1995, it may be forced
to seek protection of the courts through reorganization, bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994
REVENUES
The Company's product sales for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and
1994 were as follows:
1995 1994
Bovine superoxide dismutase (bSOD)
for research and human use $1,121,000 $827,000
Diagnostic and research assays 559,000 --
Palosein(R) (bSOD for veterinary use) 190,000 71,000
Other 205,000 36,000
---------- --------
$2,075,000 $934,000
========== ========
Sales of bulk bSOD for research and human use increased by $294,000 in the
first quarter of 1995 as compared to the first quarter of 1994. Bulk bSOD
sales in the first quarter of 1995 include a $948,000 sale of bSOD to Sanofi
Winthrop Inc. Further sales to Sanofi Winthrop depend on Sanofi Winthrop's
plans for additional clinical trials, regulatory approval and
commercialization of its new pharmaceutical for closed head injury and on
results of negotiations between the Company and Sanofi Winthrop. Bulk bSOD
sales in the first quarter of 1994 included sales to OXIS' German licensee;
no sales to the German licensee have occurred in 1995, nor are any
anticipated during the remainder of 1995. Sales of bulk bSOD to OXIS'
Spanish licensee were $133,000 in the first quarter of 1994 and $169,000 in
the first quarter of 1995. Due to regulatory actions in four European
countries in 1994, the Company's licensee for Spain has had informal
discussions with the Spanish regulatory authorities regarding the Company's
bSOD product. Although no action has been taken by those authorities with
regard to the Company's product, future sales in Spain may be adversely
affected by either regulatory action in Spain, or safety concerns stemming
from actions in other countries. In addition, the Company's German licensee
has advised the Company that its Spanish subsidiary will be voluntarily
withdrawing its bSOD product from the Spanish market. Whether the impact of
this withdrawal on sales to the Company's Spanish licensee will be positive
or negative cannot be determined.
Sales of diagnostic and research assays for the first quarter of 1995
totaled $559,000. The diagnostic assay products were acquired through the
merger with IBC. The research assays were obtained in the acquisition of
Bioxytech. Other product sales also increased as a result of inclusion in
1995 of sales of products of the acquired companies.
9
Sales of Palosein(R), which was reintroduced to the U.S. market in 1993
increased from $71,000 in the first quarter of 1994 to $190,000 in the first
quarter of 1995 as a result of an active marketing campaign, which the
Company intends to continue. In addition, in the first quarter of 1995, the
Company obtained approval for the veterinary use of Palosein(R) in Canada,
and began selling Palosein(R) through a Canadian distributor.
Royalty income of $51,000 recognized in the first quarter of 1995 was
similar to the amount for the first quarter of 1994. The Company anticipates
that its royalty revenues from licensees of bSOD products for 1995 will be
substantially less than the 1994 amount due to product withdrawals in
Europe.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of sales as a percentage of product sales decreased from 67% in the
first quarter of 1994 to 57% in the first quarter of 1995. This decrease in
cost was primarily the net result of three factors. First, the cost of sales
in the first quarter of 1994 was higher than historical levels due to a
significant sale of bulk bSOD at less than the Company's historic profit
margin. Second, Palosein(R) sales, which more than doubled in 1995, have a
lower cost than bulk bSOD sales. In addition, the decreases in cost of sales
as a percentage of product sales were partially offset by the cost of the
products of the businesses acquired in the third quarter of 1994. The cost
of these products as a percentage of sales is greater than the cost of
Palosein(R) and bulk bSOD sales due to the amortization of acquired
technology which is included in the cost of sales of the acquired products.
Research and development expenses increased from $216,000 in the first
quarter of 1994 to $1,029,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The 1995
increase resulted primarily from the cost of the research and development
activities associated with acquired potential pharmaceuticals. If the
Company is able to obtain sufficient capital funding, it expects its
investment in research and development activities to continue at a level
substantially higher than historical amounts.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $342,000 in the
first quarter of 1994 to $619,000 in the first quarter of 1995. This
increase is primarily due to the inclusion of selling, general and
administrative costs of the companies acquired in 1994.
The lease of the Company's Mountain View, California, facility expires at
the end of June 1995, and management does not intend to renew this lease.
10
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Interest income decreased in the first quarter of 1995 as compared with the
first quarter of 1994 due to a decline in certificates of deposit. These
funds were primarily used to support research and development programs,
particularly at the Company's French subsidiary.
Interest expense in 1995 relates primarily to the capitalized lease
obligations of the Company's French subsidiary and short-term notes payable.
NET LOSS
The Company continued to experience losses in the first quarter of 1995. The
first quarter 1995 loss of $757,000 ($.08 per share) was $570,000 greater
than the $187,000 ($.04 per share) loss for the first quarter of 1994. The
increase in the net loss is primarily due to the increased research and
development expenditures by the Company, particularly by the businesses
acquired in the third quarter of 1994.
The Company expects to incur a substantial net loss for 1995. If additional
capital is raised through a private placement of securities (See Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources), the Company plans to continue
to invest in research and development activities and incur marketing, sales
and administrative expenses in amounts greater than its anticipated near-
term product margins. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient
additional capital, it will have to cease, or severely curtail, its
operations. In the event that operations are severely curtailed, so that
cash expenditures for operations are equal to receipts from product sales
and royalties, the Company expects to continue to report net losses due to
the amortization and potential write down of various assets.
