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, 1996.
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.
2. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - ADDITIONAL FINANCING
In March and April 1997 the Company borrowed $808,000 pursuant to short-
term notes as described in Note 4. On May 13, 1997, the Company finalized
an underwriting agreement with certain underwriters in France whereby such
underwriters have agreed to purchase 9,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at a price of approximately $.80 per share (the "Placement
Price"). The stock is to be listed on the French stock market, Le Nouveau
Marche, no later than May 15, 1997, and the settlement from the sale is to
close no later than May 20, 1997. The underwriters also have the option to
purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock at the
Placement Price within 30 days of the listing. The securities offered have
not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, (the "Act") and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration under the Act or an applicable exemption from such
registration requirements.
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, 1997 and December 31, 1996, consisted of
the following:
March 31, December 31,
1997 1996
Raw materials $167,000 $148,000
Work in process 186,000 200,000
Finished goods 192,000 243,000
-------- --------
Total $545,000 $591,000
======== ========
4. NOTES PAYABLE
During March 1997 the Company borrowed $160,000 from a shareholder pursuant
to issuance of a short-term unsecured promissory note with a 3% origination
fee and bearing interest at an annual rate of 8%. In April 1997 an
additional $648,000 was borrowed from other shareholders pursuant to
promissory notes with similar terms. All of the notes are due in June and
July 1997, but no later than ten days following the consummation of the
Company's planned public offering of common stock to be traded over the
French stock market, Le Nouveau Marche as described in Note 2.
5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the first quarter of 1997, 384,614 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock and 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted into an
aggregate of 649,256 shares of common stock.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS 128 changes the standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and supersedes APB Opinion No. 15,
"Earnings per Share." SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing
earnings per share and makes them comparable to international EPS
standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation
of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS
on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ended after December 15, 1997, including interim
periods; earlier application is not permitted. This Statement requires
restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Earnings per share
reported for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 are not
affected as a result of adopting SFAS 128 due to the Company's losses.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital deficit increased during the first quarter of
1997 from $1,405,000 at December 31, 1996 to $2,529,000 at March 31, 1997.
This increase in the Company's working capital deficit resulted primarily
from the effect of the net loss for the first quarter of 1997 ($1,347,000
less non-cash charges of $452,000) and an increase in accounts payable of
$686,000, offset by proceeds from issuance of short-term notes ($213,000).
Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $422,000 at December 31, 1996 to
$272,000 at March 31, 1997.
The Company expects to continue to report losses in 1997 as the level of
expenses is expected to continue to exceed revenues. The Company can give
no assurances as to when and if its revenues will exceed its expenses.
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 that have the required
resources to develop and market certain
of these products. There is no assurance that the Company's effort to
develop such business alliances will be successful.
During March and April 1997, the Company has raised $808,000 through the
issuance of short-term notes to certain of its shareholders. The notes are
due in June and July 1997, but no later than ten days following the
consummation of the Company's planned public offering of common stock to be
traded over the French stock market, Le Nouveau Marche.
On May 13, 1997, the Company finalized an underwriting agreement with
certain underwriters in France whereby such underwriters have agreed to
purchase 9,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of
approximately $.80 per share (the "Placement Price"). The stock is to be
listed on the French stock market, Le Nouveau Marche, no later than May 15,
1997, and the settlement from the sale is to close no later than May 20,
1997. The underwriters also have the option to purchase up to an additional
1,500,000 shares of common stock at the Placement Price within 30 days of
the listing. The securities offered have not been, and will not be,
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act") and
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under
the Act or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
REVENUES
The Company's product sales for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
were as follows:
1997 1996
Diagnostic and research assays ......... $ 548,000 $ 621,000
Bovine superoxide dismutase (bSOD)
for research and human use ........... 412,000 621,000
Palosein(R)(bSOD for veterinary use) ... 154,000 78,000
Other .................................. 13,000 17,000
---------- ----------
$1,127,000 $1,337,000
========== ==========
Sales of the Company's diagnostic and research assays decreased from
$621,000 in the first quarter of 1996 to $548,000 in the first quarter of
1997. This decrease of $73,000 consists of decreases in sales of the
Company's therapeutic drug monitoring assays ($91,000) and assays for drugs
of abuse ($17,000), offset by a $35,000 increase in sales of assays for
measures of oxidative stress. Sales of therapeutic drug monitoring assays
in the first
quarter of 1997 were adversely impacted by larger than normal stocking
orders shipped to distributors in December 1996.
Sales of bulk bSOD for research and human use decreased by $209,000 in the
first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996. The
Company's sales of bulk bSOD in the first quarters of 1996 and 1997 were
almost entirely to the Company's Spanish licensee. Bulk bSOD sales in the
first quarter of 1997 declined as compared to the first quarter of 1996 due
to a 20% decline in the volume of product delivered and a decrease in the
value of the Dutch guilder, the currency in which the Company sells bSOD to
its Spanish licensee. Future sales of bulk bSOD continue to be largely
dependent on the needs of the Company's Spanish licensee. The Company
expects its orders for 1997 from the Spanish licensee to be less than those
for 1996. The Company's sales of bulk bSOD beyond 1997 are uncertain and
difficult to predict and no assurances can be given with respect thereto.
Palosein(R)sales increased from $78,000 in the first quarter of 1996 to
$154,000 in the first quarter of 1997. The increase in Palosein(R)sales is
attributable to a substantial sale in the first quarter of 1997 to a
distributor in Germany.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Costs of sales was 69% of product sales for the first quarter of both 1996
and 1997. Cost of sales of diagnostic and research assays declined from 79%
of the related sales in the first quarter of 1996 to 67% in the first
quarter of 1997, following the consolidation of the Company's manufacturing
operations into one location in the third quarter of 1996. Cost of assay
sales in both the first quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997
include approximately $180,000 in amortization of purchase adjustments
relating to 1994 business acquisitions. Excluding such amortization the
cost of diagnostic and research assays for the first quarter of 1997 was
approximately 34% of the related sales. The decline in cost of diagnostic
and research assays was offset by an increase in the cost of bulk bSOD and
Palosein(R) sold in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first
quarter of 1996.
Research and development expenses decreased from $1,182,000 in the first
quarter of 1996 to $1,106,000 in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease in
research and development expenses resulted from cost reductions in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996 of (1) $96,000
in research and development costs of the Company's French subsidiary, (2)
$88,000 in costs of the former Therox operations (the former Therox
laboratory facility was closed in May 1996), and (3) $77,000 in research
and development costs at the Company's Portland, Oregon facility. These
cost reductions were partially offset by a $172,000 increase in expenses
for outside development contracts primarily relating to the preclinical
development work and the Phase I clinical trial on the Company's
glutathione peroxidase mimics program.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $745,000 in the
first quarter of 1996 to $604,000 in the first quarter of 1997. The
decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in the general and
administrative expenses of the Company's French subsidiary. In the third
quarter of 1996 all of the Company's manufacturing operations were
consolidated in the United States and the French subsidiary became a
research facility. In connection with this restructuring, two
administrative positions have been eliminated and certain other costs which
were previously charged to administrative expenses are now being classified
as research and development costs.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased by $39,000 in the first quarter of 1997 as
compared with the first quarter of 1996, primarily due to a reduction in
interest-bearing obligations.
NET LOSS
The Company continued to experience losses in the first quarter of 1997.
The first quarter 1997 loss of $1,347,000 ($.10 per share) was $199,000
less than the $1,546,000 ($.13 per share) loss for the first quarter of
1996. The reduction in the net loss is primarily due to the decreased
research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses,
offset by a decline in gross margin from product sales.
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, and, as a
result, expects to incur a substantial net loss for 1997.
