Isolagen Technologies is the parent company of Isolagen Europe Limited, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (“Isolagen Europe”), Isolagen Australia Pty Limited, a company organized under the laws of Australia (“Isolagen Australia”), and Isolagen International, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland (“Isolagen Switzerland”).

Isolagen specializes in the development and commercialization of autologous cellular therapies for soft tissue regeneration. Autologous cellular therapy is the process whereby a patient’s own cells are extracted, allowed to multiply and then injected into the patient for applications such as correction and reduction of the normal effects of aging like wrinkles and nasolabial folds. The procedure is minimally invasive and non-surgical.
Commencing in 1995, a predecessor of our Isolagen Process was used to correct facial defects, such as wrinkles, depressions and scars. From 1995 to 1999, approximately 200 physicians utilized this process on approximately 1,000 patients, for a total of approximately 4,000 injections. The physicians who used this process during this period did not document any significant adverse reactions.
In May 1996, the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in response to the increasing use of cellular therapy to treat serious illness, released draft regulation for public comment to regulate cellular therapy. In May 1998, this regulation was passed, and in 1999, the FDA notified the Company that the Isolagen Process would require FDA approval as a regulated biologic product. In October 1999, the Company filed an investigational new drug application, or IND, which was accepted by the FDA. In November 1999, the Company’s IND was placed on clinical hold while it established a cGMP facility and standard operating procedures, including quality control release criteria. The clinical hold was released in May 2002. From June 2002, the Company assembled its management and scientific team and improved its Isolagen Process. These improvements included the introduction of an improved transport medium to extend cell viability, the standardization of the injection technique and the standardization of the Company’s manufacturing and laboratory techniques. The Company commenced clinical trials in January 2003 upon completion of its cGMP facility.
On April 7, 2004, the Company submitted a request for a Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, to the FDA with all the supporting information for its two pivotal Phase III clinical trials for specific dermal applications. In the SPA process, the FDA reviewed the design and size of a proposed Phase III program and provided comments regarding the adequacy of the clinical trial design to support a claim of efficacy in an approvable Biologics License Application, or BLA. The FDA’s comments are binding on its review decision, except in limited circumstances, such as when a substantial scientific issue essential to determining the safety and efficacy of a product candidate is identified after the Phase III program commences. In May 2004, the FDA approved the Company’s request for an SPA relating to the design of two pivotal Phase III clinical trials to be conducted by Isolagen in support of registration of the Isolagen Process for the treatment of nasolabial folds and glabellar lines. In July 2004, the Company announced the commencement of two pivotal Phase III trials, which were conducted in two different geographic populations in the United States as two identical trials for the treatment of facial wrinkles. These trials were randomized, double blind and placebo-controlled and were being conducted at various sites in the United States. The trials, which were conducted simultaneously, each had in excess of 100 patients split evenly between the treatment group and the placebo group. Efficacy was measured by a two-point improvement on a six-point scale, as evaluated by an independent assessor at four, six, nine and twelve months. The Company announced on August 1, 2005 the results of the Phase III dermal studies. The dermal studies met three of the four primary end points and achieved statistical significance when combined. The studies’ primary endpoints were based on blinded physician visual assessment using a six-point scale with a two point change required to meet the endpoint and patient assessment using a Visual Analog Scale. Trial B of the study proved to be clinically and statistically significant with both the patient and physician assessment achieving positive results. Trial A results were mixed with a positive assessment from the patients only. In addition, there was a wide variance in results from site to site with a range of response rates from 73.3% to 7.6%, where a “response” represents an improvement of at least two points, on a six point scale, based on a visual
11
assessment performed by the physician. We believe that this range of outcomes suggests that results are dependent on injection technique. The Company has commenced preparations for a 100 patient clinical trial with a six month endpoint during the fourth quarter of 2005.
The Company completed a Phase I clinical trial for its second candidate for the treatment of periodontal disease in late 2003. In the second quarter of 2004, the Company initiated a Phase II clinical trial for the cosmetic, or “black triangle,” application of this product candidate. This Phase II clinical trial concluded during the second quarter of 2005. The analysis of the Investigator and Subject Visual Analog Scale assessment demonstrated that the Isolagen Process was statistically superior to placebo at four months after treatment. Although results of the Investigator and Subject assessment demonstrate that the Isolagen Process was statistically superior to placebo, an analysis of objective linear measurements did not yield statistically significant results despite a positive change observed as a result of treatment with the Isolagen Process. The Company’s clinical experts believe that current measurement techniques are not precise enough to accurately record the positive change. The Company is investigating alternative measurement techniques to assess change in future trials.
The Company’s goal is to become a leading provider of solutions for soft tissue regeneration. The Company currently sells its dermal product in the United Kingdom. The Company plans to expand sales of its dermal product to other parts of Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Through September 30, 2005, the Company has been primarily engaged in developing its initial product technology, recruiting personnel, commencing its UK operations and raising capital. In the course of its development activities, the Company has sustained losses and expects such losses to continue through at least 2006. The Company will finance its operations primarily through its existing cash and future financing.
The Company’s ability to operate profitably under its current business plan is largely contingent upon its success in obtaining regulatory approval to sell its products and upon its successful development of markets for its products and profitable manufacturing processes. The Company may be required to obtain additional capital in the future to expand its operations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such regulatory approvals, successfully develop the markets for its products or develop profitable manufacturing methods, or obtain any such additional capital as it might need, either through equity or debt financing, on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet the Company’s ultimate capital needs and to support the Company’s growth. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on satisfactory terms, the Company’s operations could be negatively impacted.
If the Company achieves growth in its operations in the next few years, such growth could place a strain on its management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. The Company’s ability to manage its current operations and future growth requires the continued improvement of operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures. In addition, the Company may find it necessary to hire additional management, financial and sales and marketing personnel to manage the Company’s expanding operations. If the Company is unable to manage this growth effectively and successfully, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $77.9 million. The Company believes that its existing capital resources are adequate to finance its operations until June 30, 2007; however, its long-term viability is dependent upon successful operation of its business, its ability to automate its manufacturing process, the approval of its products and the ability to raise additional debt and equity to meet its business objectives.
Acquisition and merger and basis of presentation
On August 10, 2001, Isolagen Technologies consummated a merger with American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“AFH”) and Gemini IX, Inc. (“Gemini”). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 1, 2001, by and among AFH, ISO Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of AFH (“Merger Sub”), Isolagen Technologies, Gemini, a Delaware corporation, and William J. Boss, Jr., Olga Marko and Dennis McGill, stockholders of Isolagen Technologies (the “Merger Agreement”), AFH (i) issued 5,453,977 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 to acquire, in a privately negotiated transaction, 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock (195,707 shares, par value $0.01, including the shares issued immediately prior to the Merger for the conversion of certain
12
liabilities, as discussed below) of Isolagen Technologies, and (ii) issued 3,942,400 shares of its common stock to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Gemini. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, together with Gemini, merged with and into Isolagen Technologies (the “Merger”), and AFH was the surviving corporation. AFH subsequently changed its name to Isolagen, Inc. on November 13, 2001.
Prior to the Merger, Isolagen Technologies had no active business and was seeking funding to begin FDA trials of the Isolagen Process. AFH was a non-operating, public shell company with limited assets. Gemini was a non-operating private company with limited assets and was unaffiliated with AFH.
Since AFH and Gemini had no operations and limited assets at the time of the Merger, the merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Isolagen Technologies and an issuance of common stock by Isolagen Technologies for the net assets of AFH and Gemini. In the recapitalization, Isolagen Technologies is treated as having affected (i) a 27.8694 for 1 stock split, whereby the 195,707 shares of its common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted into the 5,453,977 shares of common stock received and held by the Isolagen Technologies stockholders immediately after the merger, and (ii) a change in the par value of its common stock, from $0.01 per share to $0.001 per share. The stock split and change in par value have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements by retroactively restating all share and per share amounts. The stock issuances are accounted for as the issuance of (i) 3,942,400 shares for the net assets of Gemini, recorded at their book value, and (ii) the issuance of 3,899,547 shares (the number of shares AFH had outstanding immediately prior to the Merger) for the net assets of AFH, recorded at their book value.
Immediately prior to and as a condition of the Merger, Isolagen Technologies issued an aggregate of 2,328,972 shares (post split) of its common stock to convert to equity an aggregate of $2,075,246 of liabilities, comprised of (i) accrued salaries of $328,125, (ii) convertible debt and related accrued interest of $1,611,346, (iii) convertible shareholder notes and related accrued interest of $135,667 and (iv) bridge financing costs of $108. Simultaneous with the Merger, the Company sold 1,346,669 shares of restricted common stock to certain accredited investors in a private placement transaction. The consideration paid by such investors for the shares of common stock aggregated $2,020,000 in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The net cash proceeds of this private placement were used to fund Isolagen’s research and development projects and the initial FDA trials of the Isolagen Process, to explore the viability of entering foreign markets, to provide working capital and for general corporate purposes.
The financial statements presented include Isolagen, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Isolagen Technologies was, for accounting purposes, the surviving entity of the Merger, and accordingly for the periods prior to the Merger, the financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Isolagen Technologies. The assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of AFH and Gemini are included in the consolidated financial statements from August 10, 2001 onward.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim financial information
The financial statements included herein, which have not been audited pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods on a basis consistent with the annual audited statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or a full year. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulation, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2005 and the Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2005.
13
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples include provisions for bad debts and inventory obsolescence, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets, deferred taxes, and the provision for and disclosure of litigation and loss contingencies. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are determined using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period-end. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings and have not been material in any one period.
Balances of related after-tax components comprising accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in stockholders’ equity, at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are as follows:
| | September 30, 2005 | | December 31, 2004 | |
Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities | | $ | — | | $ | 10,005 | |
Foreign currency translation adjustment | | (415,780 | ) | 454,105 | |
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) | | $ | (415,780 | ) | $ | 464,110 | |
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments (i.e., investments which, when purchased, have original maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2005, the Company had $2,713,334 of restricted cash. This cash is restricted for the purpose of securing future Exton, Pennsylvania facility lease payments due monthly through March 2008.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash primarily with major U.S. domestic banks. The amounts held in these banks exceed the insured limit of $100,000 from time to time. The terms of these deposits are on demand to minimize risk. The Company has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Cash equivalents are maintained in two financial institutions. The Company invests these funds primarily in Fannie Mae and government securities.
The Company’s short-term investments, as set forth below, subject it to certain credit risk that is concentrated in securities issued by U.S. government sponsored mortgage entities, and various U.S. states. Due to the credit ratings of these issuers, the Company does not believe that the credit risk is significant.
Short-Term Investments
At September 30, 2005, the Company held certain investments in marketable debt securities as a means of temporarily investing the proceeds from its issuance of shares of common stock and 3.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes until the funds are needed for operating purposes. These investments are being accounted for as “available-for-sale” securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” As a result, the investments are reflected at their fair value, based on quoted market prices, with any unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the investments are sold, at which time the realized gains and losses are included in the results of operations.
14
The following sets forth information concerning marketable debt securities as of September 30, 2005:
Type of Issue | | Maturity | | Amortized Cost | | Gross Unrealized Gains (Losses) | | Fair Value | |
State and local government | | 2012-2044 | | $ | 25,550,000 | | — | | $ | 25,550,000 | |
| | | | $ | 25,550,000 | | — | | $ | 25,550,000 | |
The Company’s investments in state and local government are principally investments in Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”), for which the interest rates are reset periodically through a Dutch auction process.
The following sets forth the aggregate maturities of the Company’s investments in marketable debt securities without regard to the dates at which the interest rates for ARS investments reset:
Maturity | | Amortized Cost | | Fair Value | |
2005 | | $ | — | | $ | — | |
2006-2010 | | — | | — | |
2011-2015 | | 3,000,000 | | 3,000,000 | |
2016 and after | | 22,550,000 | | 22,550,000 | |
| | $ | 25,550,000 | | $ | 25,550,000 | |
Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale marketable debt securities were $33,447,000 and $104,257,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, and no realized gains and losses based on specific identification were included in the results of operations upon those sales.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its accounts receivable that have been deemed to have a high risk of collectibility. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Management analyzes historical collection trends and changes in its customer payment patterns, customer concentration, and creditworthiness when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. In its overall allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company includes any receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible. Based on the information available, management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate; however, actual future write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance.
Inventory
Inventory primarily consists of raw materials used in the Isolagen Process. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and cost is determined by the weighted average method.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment, consisting primarily of land, buildings, lab equipment, computer equipment, software, leasehold improvements and office furniture and fixtures is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to five years, except for buildings, which have an estimated useful life of up to 25 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term or the life of the asset, whichever is shorter. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged as an expense as incurred.
In April 2005, the Company acquired a two-building corporate campus in Bevaix, Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland for $10,000,000 cash. Approximately $2,750,000 of the purchase price was allocated to the land and the remaining $7,250,000 was allocated to the buildings. The 100,000 square foot, five-acre facility was acquired from Ascom, a Swiss-based microelectronics and information technology company.
15
Included in property and equipment at September 30, 2005, as construction-in-progress, is $7,018,000 related to a Switzerland building currently under renovation. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company completed the construction of the Exton production facility, which was previously recorded as construction-in-progress.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company determined that a certain third-party developed software system (the “MES” system) was impaired and, accordingly, recorded a charge of $1,346,000 to selling, general and administrative expense. Previous to the impairment charge, certain components of the MES system had been placed in use and certain components were still in development. The gross balance and accumulated depreciation related to the MES system components placed in use was $629,000 and $146,000, respectively, at the time of the impairment charge and was being depreciated over five years. The balance related to the MES system components still in development, for which amortization had not commenced at the time of the impairment charge, was $863,000.
Intangible assets
The Company’s intangible assets represent patent applications which are recorded at cost. The Company has filed applications for patents in connection with technologies being developed. The patent applications and any patents issued as a result of these applications are important to the protection of the Company’s technologies that may result from its research and development efforts. Costs associated with patent applications and maintaining patents are expensed, unless future benefits are reasonably assured, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized over their useful life. The Company currently has $540,000 included in intangible assets at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 related to two pending patents. Amortization of this amount will begin once these patents are issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company reviews the value recorded for intangibles to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent the carrying value exceeds fair value determined based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows.
Debt Issue Costs
The costs incurred in issuing the Company’s 3.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes, including placement agent fees, legal and accounting costs and other direct costs are included in Other Assets and are being amortized to expense using the effective interest method over five years, through November 2009. Debt issuance costs, net of amortization, were approximately $3,059,000 at September 30, 2005 and approximately $3,621,000 at December 31, 2004.
Accrued liabilities
At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, accrued liabilities include $497,000 and $493,000, respectively, for accrued compensation costs. At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, accrued liabilities include $1,312,500 and $508,000, respectively, for accrued interest expense.
Treasury Stock
The Company utilizes the cost method for accounting for its treasury stock acquisitions and dispositions.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue over the period the service is performed in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). In general, SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered, (3) the fee is fixed and determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Currently the Isolagen Process is delivered through an attending physician to each patient using the Company’s recommended regimen of up to three injections. Due to the short shelf life, each injection is cultured on an as needed basis and shipped prior to the individual injection being administered by the physician. The Company believes each injection has stand alone value to the patient. The Company invoices the attending physician upon that physician submitting his or her patient’s tissue sample to the Company, as a result of which the contractual arrangement is between the Company and the medical professional. The amount invoiced varies directly with the number of injections requested. Generally, all orders are
16
paid in advance by the physician prior to the first injection and are not refundable and there is no performance provision under any arrangement with any doctor, and there is no right to refund or returns for unused injections.
As a result, the Company believes that the requirements of SAB 104 are met as each injection is shipped, as the risk of loss transfers to the customer at that time, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Advance payments are deferred until shipment. The amount of the revenue deferred represents the fair value of the remaining undelivered injections measured in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” which addresses the issue of accounting for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple products or services. Should the physician discontinue the regimen prematurely all remaining deferred revenue is recognized.
Revenue from licenses and other upfront fees are recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the respective agreement.
The Company also offers a service whereby it stores a patient’s cells for later use in the preparation of injections, and a service whereby it processes a patient’s cells to expand the cells to the mass necessary to prepare an injection, but then store the expanded cells for later use in the preparation of injections. In accordance with EITF 00-21, the fees charged for both of these services are recognized as revenue ratably over the length of the storage agreement. No separate revenue is recognized for the initial cell expansion service, as the Company does not offer this service separately and the process of cell expansion has no value without either the subsequent preparation of an injection or the storage of the expanded cells for later use in the preparation of injections.
Promotional incentives
The Company periodically offers promotional incentives to physicians on a case-by-case basis. Promotional incentives are provided to physicians in the form of “at no charge” Isolagen Treatments and Isolagen Treatments offered at a discount from the suggested price list. The Company does not receive any identifiable benefit from the physicians in exchange for any promotional incentives granted.
In accordance with EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products),” the Company does not record any revenue related to “at no charge” Isolagen Treatments and the estimated cost to provide such treatments is expensed as selling, general and administrative expense at the time the promotion is granted. The Company records discounts granted as a reduction in revenue (i.e., net revenue after discount) from that specific transaction.
Shipping and handling costs
The Company typically does not charge customers for shipping and handling costs. Such costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Research and development expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries and benefits, costs paid to third-party contractors to perform research, conduct clinical trials, develop and manufacture drug materials and delivery devices, and a portion of facilities cost. Research and development costs also include costs to develop new and automated technologies and manufacturing, cell collection and logistical process improvements. We are currently developing an automated cell expansion system that will permit an automated cell growth and harvesting process. It is anticipated that the automated cell expansion system will eliminate several of the steps and materials involved in our current system, which we expect will lead to significant cost reductions in both skilled labor and materials and will enable scalable mass production. However, the commercial viability of the automation techniques under consideration is uncertain, and we do not know whether we will be successful in implementing the automated cell expansion system.
Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. Invoicing from third-party contractors for services performed can lag several months. The Company accrues the costs of services rendered in connection with third-party contractor activities based on its estimate of
17
management fees, site management and monitoring costs and data management costs. Actual clinical trial costs may differ from estimated clinical trial costs and are adjusted for in the period in which they become known.
Costs of Exit Activities
In September 2004, the Company approved a plan for the closure of its Australian facilities and the servicing of Australia from the Company’s London, England facility. The Company adopted this plan because it believed that anticipated processing enhancements and improved delivery logistics will eliminate the need for an Australian laboratory. The Company expects that the closure of the Australian facility will be completed by December 2005.
The costs associated with the closure of the Australian facilities, which are comprised principally of statutory or contractual employee severance costs and the cost of terminating certain contracts, are being accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” Under SFAS No. 146, employee severance costs are accrued over the period beginning with the date on which the Company communicated the exit plan and the severance benefits to the affected employees, and ending on the date through which the affected employees must continue working to be entitled to the severance benefit, and costs incurred to terminate other contracts are accrued when the Company terminates the contract in accordance with the contract terms or has otherwise negotiated a termination with the counterparty. The exit costs charged to expense are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. During June 2005, the Company fully paid and settled its early contract termination fee with an Australian distributor.
The following sets forth information about the major components of the exit costs:
| | Costs Incurred for Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 | | Costs Incurred for Nine months Ended September 30, 2005 | | Cumulative Costs Incurred to Date | |
Employee severance | | $ | — | | 3,695 | | $ | 208,589 | |
Lease decommission costs | | 81,252 | | 81,252 | | 81,252 | |
Contract termination | | — | | 66,527 | | 428,152 | |
Total | | $ | 81,252 | | 151,474 | | $ | 717,993 | |
The following sets forth information about the changes in the accrued exit costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005:
| | Accrued Liability December 31, 2004 | | Costs Charged to Expense | | Costs Paid or Settled | | Accrued Liability September 30, 2005 | |
Employee severance | | $ | — | | $ | 3,695 | | $ | (3,695 | ) | $ | — | |
Lease decommission costs | | — | | 81,252 | | — | | 81,252 | |
Contract Termination | | 361,625 | | 66,527 | | (428,152 | ) | — | |
Total | | $ | 361,625 | | $ | 151,474 | | $ | (431,847 | ) | $ | 81,252 | |
The Company has discontinued depreciating the equipment it intends to dispose of and has reclassified the equipment, at estimated fair value, as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair market value of lab and office equipment is approximately $59,000.
Stock based compensation and expenses
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” Under SFAS No. 123, the Company is permitted to either record expenses for stock options and other employee compensation plans based on their fair value at the date of grant or to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB No. 25”), and recognize compensation expense, if any, based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument at the measurement date. To the extent the options have cashless exercise provisions, the Company utilizes variable accounting. The Company has elected to continue following the provisions of APB No. 25. Stock options issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value as required by SFAS No. 123.
18
The Company from time to time issues common stock, stock options or common stock warrants to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by SFAS No. 123, which is measured as of the date required by EITF Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” In accordance with EITF 96-18, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.” This statement provides guidance for those companies wishing to voluntarily change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, requiring prominent disclosure in annual and interim financial statements regarding a company’s method for accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results. While Isolagen continues to utilize the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company has modified its disclosures to comply with SFAS No. 148.
Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock option grants to employees and directors been determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and net loss per share would have increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Net loss attributable to common shareholders, as reported | | $ | (9,267,067 | ) | $ | (6,435,414 | ) | $ | (25,687,486 | ) | $ | (15,161,477 | ) |
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense (gain) included in reported net loss, net of related tax effects of $0 | | 2,066 | | — | | 28,774 | | 339,505 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all rewards granted to employees, net of related tax effect of $0 | | (685,110 | ) | (1,106,020 | ) | (2,117,080 | ) | (3,180,405 | ) |
Net loss, pro forma | | $ | (9,950,111 | ) | $ | (7,541,434 | ) | $ | (27,775,792 | ) | $ | (18,002,377 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | |
Net loss per share, as reported: | | | | | | | | | |
basic and diluted | | $ | (0.31 | ) | $ | (0.19 | ) | $ | (0.85 | ) | $ | (0.51 | ) |
Net loss per share, pro forma: | | | | | | | | | |
basic and diluted | | $ | (0.33 | ) | $ | (0.22 | ) | $ | (0.92 | ) | $ | (0.61 | ) |
As required under SFAS 123 and SFAS 148, the pro forma effects of stock-based compensation on net loss per share have been estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 | | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 | |
Expected life (years) | | 5 Years | | | 5 Years | | |
Interest rate | | 4 | % | | 4 | % | |
Dividend yield | | — | | | — | | |
Volatility | | 78 | % | | 71 | % | |

Income taxes
An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
Loss per share data
Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, after giving effect to the manner in which the merger was accounted for as described in Note 1. Diluted earnings per share also gives effect to the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants (calculated based on the treasury stock method) and convertible preferred stock and debt. The Company does not present diluted earnings per share for years in which it incurred net losses as the effect is antidilutive.
At September 30, 2005, options and warrants to purchase 8,351,622 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $11.38 per share were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect. At September 30, 2004, options and warrants to purchase 7,921,836 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $11.38 per share were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect. In addition, our 3.5% convertible, subordinated debt is convertible at $9.16 per common share, but the shares issuable upon the conversion of this debt were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to the antidilutive effect
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss encompasses all changes in equity other than those with shareholders and consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable debt securities. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments since it does not provide for such taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Comprehensive loss is calculated as follows:
| | Three months ended September 30, 2005 | | Three months ended September 30, 2004 | |
Net loss | | $ | (9,267,067 | ) | $ | (6,435,414 | ) |
Foreign currency translation adjustment | | (124,596 | ) | (5,390 | ) |
Comprehensive loss | | $ | (9,391,663 | ) | $ | (6,440,804 | ) |
| | Nine months ended September 30, 2005 | | Nine months ended September 30, 2004 | |
Net loss | | $ | (25,687,486 | ) | $ | (15,161,477 | ) |
Foreign currency translation adjustment | | (869,885 | ) | 18,180 | |
Net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities | | (10,005 | ) | — | |
Comprehensive loss | | $ | (26,567,376 | ) | $ | (15,143,297 | ) |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, marketable debt securities, accounts payable and convertible subordinated debentures. The fair values of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate, in the Company’s opinion, their respective carrying amounts. The Company’s marketable debt securities are carried at fair value. The Company’s convertible subordinated debentures were quoted at approximately 50% of par value on September 30, 2005. Accordingly, the fair value of our convertible subordinated debentures is approximately $45,000,000 at September 30, 2005.
20
Reclassifications
In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company changed the manner by which it classifies the costs incurred in its London and Australia facilities as either costs of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company believes that the new classifications better reflect the primary purpose and functions of each of these facilities. The new manner of classifying these costs is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The reclassifications did not have any effect on net loss or net loss per share.
In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company changed the manner by which it classifies losses on disposal of assets and includes these amounts in selling, general and administrative expenses. The new manner of classifying these costs is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The reclassifications did not have any effect on net loss or net loss per share.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share Based Payment,” which eliminates the use of APB Opinion No. 25 and will require the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward (the requisite service period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. SFAS 123 (Revised) must be applied to all options granted or modified after its effective date and also to recognize the cost associated with the portion of any option awards made before its effective date for with the associated service has not been rendered as of its effective date. The Company is still studying the requirements of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) and has not yet determined what impact it will have on the Company’s results of operations and financial position. On April 14, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the effective date of SFAS 123(Revised) is deferred for calendar year companies until the beginning of 2006.
In May, 2005 the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections -
a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion (“APB”) No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 will apply to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, SFAS No. 154 requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, SFAS No. 154 requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS No. 154 carries forward without change the guidance contained in APB No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate, and also the guidance in APB No. 20 requiring justification of a change in accounting principle on the basis of preferability. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date SFAS No. 154 was issued. The Company presently does not believe that the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 154 will have a material affect on its financial statements.

Note 3. Contingencies
Federal Securities Litigation
The Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors are defendants in class action cases pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On August 18, 2005, Elliot Liff brought an action styled, C.A. No. H-05-2887, Elliot Liff v. Isolagen, Inc., Frank M. Delape, Robert J. Bitterman, Michael Macaluso, Jeffrey W. Tomz, Olga Marko, William K. Boss, Jr. and Michael Avignon, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
In this action, the Plaintiff purports to bring a federal securities fraud class action on behalf of purchasers of the publicly traded securities of Isolagen between March 3, 2004 and August 1, 2005, including purchasers of Isolagen stock issued in connection with and traceable to Isolagen’s June 2004 common stock offering. The action asserts that the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 by making certain false statements and omissions to the investing public regarding the Company’s business operations, management, and intrinsic value of Isolagen’s publicly traded securities. The Complaint also alleges liability against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.
On September 16, 2005, Ronald Gargiulo brought an action styled, C.A. No. 05-cv-4983, Ronald A. Gargiulo v. Isolagen, Inc., Frank M. DeLape, Robert J. Bitterman, Michael Macaluso, Jeffrey W. Tomz, Olga Marko, William K. Boss, Jr. and Michael Avignon, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. This action (and another subsequently filed action in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania) makes substantially similar allegations against the defendants.
Four movants have subsequently made applications under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 to be appointed Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel. Those applications are pending before the courts.
The Company anticipates that after Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel are selected, an amended consolidated complaint will be filed and that the Company and the individual defendants will move to dismiss that complaint. If the Company is unsuccessful in its motion to dismiss the complaint, it intends to defend these actions vigorously. However, the Company cannot currently estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from the resolution of these actions, and no provision has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company will expense its legal costs as they are incurred.
Derivative Actions
The Company is the nominal defendant in derivative actions pending in State District Court in Harris County, Texas and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. On September 28, 2005, Carmine Vitale filed an action styled, Cause No. 2005-61840, Carmine Vitale v. Frank DeLape, Robert J. Bitterman, Michael Macaluso, Jeffrey W. Tomz, Steven Morrell, Henry Y.L. Toh, Ralph V. De Martino, Marshall G. Webb, William K. Boss, Jr., Michael Avignon and Isolagen, Inc., in the 55th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.
In this action, the plaintiff purports to bring a shareholder derivative action on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The Plaintiff alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and engaged in other wrongful conduct. Certain individual defendants are accused of improper trading in Isolagen stock.
The plaintiff did not make a demand on the Board of Isolagen prior to bringing the action and plaintiff alleges that a demand was excused under the law as futile.
On October 8, 2005, Richard Keene, filed an action styled, C.A. No. H-05-3441, Richard Keene v. Frank M. DeLape, Robert J. Bitterman, Michael Macaluso, Jeffrey W. Tomz, Olga Marko, William K. Boss, Jr., Michael Avignon, Steven Morrell, Henry Y.L. Toh, Ralph De Martino, Marshall G. Webb, and Isolagen, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. This action makes substantially similar allegations as the Vitale action. The plaintiff also alleges that his failure to make a demand on the Board prior to filing the action is excused as futile.
22
The Company has not appeared in the derivative cases and expects to make a motion seeking dismissal of the actions on the grounds that a demand was required prior to the filing of the cases. If the Company is unsuccessful in its motion to dismiss the complaint, it intends to defend these actions vigorously. However, the Company cannot currently estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from the resolution of these actions, and no provision has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company will expense its legal costs as they are incurred.
Other Matters
On October 9, 1996, the Company was advised by the Enforcement Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that it is considering recommending that the Commission bring an enforcement action, which could include a civil penalty, against the Company in U.S. District Court for failing to file timely periodic reports in violation of Section 13(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder.
In October 1996, the Company also received a request for the voluntary production of information to the Enforcement Division of the Commission related to the resignation of Coopers & Lybrand LLP and the termination of Arthur Andersen LLP and the appointment of Jones, Jensen & Company as the Company’s independent public accountants and the reasons therefore. In addition, the Company was requested to provide certain information with respect to its previous sales of securities. The Company cooperated in providing information in response to these inquiries in early 1997. The Company has not been advised of the outcome of the foregoing, and has had no further contact by the Enforcement Division of the Commission.
The Company is involved in various other legal matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, management believes that the results will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 6. Subsequent Events
On October 3, 2005, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had appointed Susan Ciallella to the position of Interim Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Ciallella’s appointment followed the resignation of Frank DeLape from the post of Interim CEO. Ms. Ciallella previously served as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary and is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Ms. Ciallella will retain these duties in addition to the duties of
25
Interim CEO. There will be no change in Ms. Ciallella’s compensation agreement. Mr. DeLape continued as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board.
In connection with the resignation of Frank DeLape as Chairman of the Board and member of the Board of Directors of Isolagen, Inc. (“Isolagen”), effective as of October 27, 2005, Isolagen, Isolagen Technologies, Inc. and Frank DeLape have entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. DeLape agreed, among other things, to (a) resign all positions with Isolagen and all of its subsidiaries and to terminate his employment with Isolagen, (b) certain lock-up and standstill restrictions in respect of Isolagen shares he and his affiliates own through July 2006, and (c) execute a release for the benefit of Isolagen and its subsidiaries. Isolagen agreed, among other things, to pay a separation payment in the amount of $210,000, beginning on Mr. DeLape’s resignation date through March 15, 2006. Mr. DeLape also will retain options to purchase (a) 650,000 shares of common stock of Isolagen, par value $.001 per share (“Isolagen Common Stock”) granted on September 1, 2001 at an exercise price of $6.00, which are fully vested as of his resignation date and will be exercisable for a period of two years following his resignation date, (b) 400,000 shares of Isolagen Common Stock granted on February 25, 2003 at an exercise price of $4.50, which are fully vested as of his resignation date and will be exercisable for a period of five years following his resignation date and (c) 150,000 shares of Isolagen Common Stock granted on September 5, 2003 at an exercise price of $9.81, which are fully vested as of his resignation date and will be exercisable for a period of three years following his resignation date. All other unexercised options granted to Mr. DeLape to purchase shares of Isolagen will be cancelled as of Mr. DeLape’s resignation date. The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement of June 2005 between Frank DeLape and Isolagen has been terminated. Any options to purchase stock under the 2005 Agreement have been cancelled. The separation payment pursuant to the Separation and Release Agreement reflects the amount that would otherwise be owed under Mr. DeLape’s 2003 Employment Agreement reduced by the amount of certain office expense reimbursements paid to him pursuant to the 2005 Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, with any amendments thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Forward-Looking Information
This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as information relating to Isolagen that is based on management’s exercise of business judgment and assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this document and other documents, releases and reports released by us, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “the facts suggest” and words of similar import, are intended to identify any forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view of future events and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as noted below. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Actual events, transactions and results may materially differ from the anticipated events, transactions or results described in such statements. The discovery and development of applications for autologous cellular therapy are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that Isolagen’s trials relating to autologous cellular therapy applications for the treatment of dermal defects or gingival recession can be conducted within the timeframe that Isolagen expects, that such trials will yield positive results, or that additional applications for the commercialization of autologous cellular therapy can be identified and advanced into human clinical trials. These and other factors, some of which are described below, could cause future results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in this report. Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will materialize. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward looking statements. Several of these factors include, without limitation:
• our ability to develop autologous cellular therapies that have specific applications in cosmetic dermatology, and our ability to explore (and possibly develop) applications for periodontal disease, reconstructive dentistry and other health-related markets;
• whether our clinical human trials relating to autologous cellular therapy applications for the treatment of dermal defects or gingival recession can be conducted within the timeframe that we expect, whether such trials will yield positive results, or whether additional applications for the commercialization of autologous cellular therapy can be identified by us and advanced into human clinical trials;
• our ability to provide and deliver any autologous cellular therapies that we may develop, on a basis that is cost competitive with other therapies, drugs and treatments that may be provided by our competitors;
• our ability to finance our business;
• our ability to improve our current pricing model;
• our ability to decrease our cost of goods sold through the development of our automated cell expansion system that permits an automated harvesting process in a closed loop sterile environment or otherwise through the utilization of automated technologies and manufacturing, cell collection and logistical process improvements, which we believe will eliminate several of the steps and materials involved in our current system and will lead to significant cost reductions in both skilled labor and materials and will enable scalable mass production;
• our ability to complete and integrate the automated cell expansion system into our UK operations;
• our ability to service the demand for our dermal product in the United Kingdom, which is highly dependent on our ability to complete and integrate the automated cell expansion system or institute other process improvements;
• our ability to significantly reduce our need for fetal bovine calf serum for culturing cells, which process is in the exploratory phase and which we hope will result in an 80% or greater reduction in the use of such serum;
27
• a stable interest rate market in the world, and specifically the countries we are doing business in or plan to do business in;
• management’s ability to estimate the patient data including patients started and patients completed;
• a stable currency rate environment in the world, and specifically the countries we are doing business in or plan to do business in;
• our ability to receive requisite regulatory approvals in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Americas, and our ability to retain the licenses that we have obtained and may obtain; and the absence of adverse regulatory developments in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Americas or any other country where we plan to conduct commercial operations;
• continued availability of supplies at satisfactory prices;
• no new entrance of competitive products or further penetration of existing products in our markets;
• no adverse publicity related to our products or the Company itself;
• no adverse claims relating to our intellectual property;
• the adoption of new, or changes in, accounting principles; and/or legal proceedings;
• our ability to maintain compliance with the AMEX requirements for continued listing of our common stock;
• the costs inherent with complying with new statutes and regulations applicable to public reporting companies, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
• our ability to efficiently integrate future acquisitions, if any;
• other new lines of business that we may enter in the future; and
• other risks referenced from time to time elsewhere in this report and in our filings with the SEC.
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our future results. We undertake no obligation and do not intend to update, revise or otherwise publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of any unanticipated events. We cannot assure you that projected results will be achieved.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company announced on August 1, 2005 the results of the Phase III dermal studies. The dermal studies met three of the four primary end points and achieved statistical significance when combined. The studies’ primary endpoints were based on blinded physician visual assessment using a six-point scale with a two point change required to meet the endpoint and patient assessment using a Visual Analog Scale. Trial B of the study proved to be clinically and statistically significant with both the patient and physician assessment achieving positive results. Trial A results were mixed with a positive assessment from the patients only. In addition, there was a wide variance in results from site to site with a range of response rates from 73.3% to 7.6%, where a “response” represents an improvement of at least two points, on a six point scale, based on a visual assessment performed by the physician. We believe that this range of outcomes suggests that results are dependent on injection technique. The Company has commenced preparations for a 100 patient clinical trial with a six month endpoint during the fourth quarter of 2005.
The Company completed a Phase I clinical trial for its second candidate for the treatment of periodontal disease in late 2003. In the second quarter of 2004, the Company initiated a Phase II clinical trial for the cosmetic, or “black triangle,” application of this product candidate. This Phase II clinical trial concluded during the second quarter of 2005. The analysis of the Investigator and Subject Visual Analog Scale assessment demonstrated that the Isolagen Process was statistically superior to placebo at four months after treatment. Although results of the Investigator and Subject assessment demonstrate that the Isolagen Process was statistically superior to placebo, an analysis of objective linear measurements did not yield statistically significant results despite a positive change observed as a result of treatment with the Isolagen Process. The Company’s clinical experts believe that current measurement techniques are not precise enough to accurately record the positive change. The Company is investigating alternative measurement techniques to assess change in future trials.
On October 3, 2005, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had appointed Susan Ciallella to the position of Interim Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Ciallella’s appointment followed the resignation of Frank DeLape from
28
the post of interim CEO. Ms. Ciallella previously served as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary and is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Ms. Ciallella will retain these duties in addition to the duties of interim CEO. There will be no change in Ms. Ciallella’s compensation agreement.
For a discussion of pending litigation please see Note 3, Contingencies, to the Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, set forth elsewhere in the Report.
On October 27, 2005, Mr. Delape resigned from the Board of Directors and entered into a Separation Agreement with the Company. Reference is made to the disclosure in Note 6, Subsequent Events, to the Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, set forth elsewhere in the report.
GENERAL
We specialize in the development and commercialization of autologous cellular technology that has specific applications in cosmetic dermatology and are exploring applications for periodontal disease, reconstructive dentistry and other health-related markets. Our ability to operate profitably under our current business plan is largely contingent upon our success in obtaining regulatory approval to sell our products and upon our successful development of markets for our products and the development of profitable manufacturing processes. We may be required to obtain additional capital in the future to support these efforts or expand our operations. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain such regulatory approvals, successfully develop the markets for our products or develop profitable manufacturing methods, or obtain such additional capital as we might need, either through equity or debt financing, on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our ultimate capital needs and to support our growth. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on satisfactory terms, our operations could be negatively impacted.
If we achieve growth in our operations in the next few years, such growth could place a strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our ability to manage operations and growth requires the continued improvement of operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures. In addition, we may find it necessary to hire additional management, financial and sales and marketing personnel to manage our expanding operations. If we are unable to manage this growth effectively and successfully, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
Although the focus of our efforts has been and will continue to be the development, testing and approval of the aesthetic and dental applications of our process, and research into other applications of our process, as a result of which our company is still considered to be a “development stage” enterprise, we have, since 2002, made Isolagen Process injections available to physicians in the United Kingdom and Australia as a means of developing our marketing, sales and manufacturing processes. Revenues from the sale of these treatments were approximately $1.8 million for the three months ending September 30, 2005 and approximately $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
As of September 30, 2005, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $77.9 million. We believe our existing capital resources are adequate to finance our operations until June 30, 2007, however our long-term viability is dependent upon the successful operation of our business, our ability to automate our manufacturing process, the approval of our products and the ability to raise additional debt and equity to meet our business objectives.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. However, certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside the control of management. As a result they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial
29
results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The following discusses our significant accounting policies and estimates.
Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue over the period the service is performed in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). In general, SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered, (3) the fee is fixed and determinable and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Currently the Isolagen Process is administered by an attending physician to each patient using our recommended regimen of up to three injections. Due to the short shelf life, each injection is cultured on an as needed basis and shipped prior to the individual injection being administered by the physician. We believe each injection has stand alone value to the patient. We invoice the attending physician upon that physician submitting his or her patient’s tissue sample to us; as a result of which the contractual arrangement is between us and the medical professional. The amount invoiced varies directly with the number of injections requested. Generally, orders are paid in advance by the physician prior to the first injection and are not refundable and there is no performance provision under any arrangement with any doctor, and there is no right to refund, or returns for unused injections.
As a result, we believe that the requirements of SAB 104 are met as each injection is shipped, as the risk of loss transfers to the customer at that time, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Advance payments are considered deferred revenue until shipment. The amount of the revenue deferred represents the fair value of the remaining undelivered injections measured in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” which addresses the issue of accounting for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple products or services. Should the physician discontinue the regimen prematurely all remaining deferred revenue is recognized.
Revenue from licenses and other upfront fees are recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the respective agreement.
We also offer a service whereby we store a patient’s cells for later use in the preparation of injections, and a service whereby we process a patient’s cells to expand the cells to the mass necessary to prepare an injection, but then store the expanded cells for later use in the preparation of injections. In accordance with EITF 00-21, the fees charged for both of these services are recognized as revenue ratably over the length of the storage agreement. No separate revenue is recognized for the initial cell expansion service, as we do not offer this service separately and the process of cell expansion has no value without either the subsequent preparation of an injection or the storage of the expanded cells for later use in the preparation of injections. This service resulted in less than $0.1 million of revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.
In accordance with EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products),” the Company does not record any revenue related to “at no charge” Isolagen Treatments and the estimated cost to provide such treatments is expensed as selling, general and administrative expense at the time the promotion is granted. The Company records discounts granted as a reduction in revenue (i.e., net revenue after discount) from that specific transaction.
Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and Research and Development Expenses: In the fourth quarter of 2004, we changed the manner by which we classify the costs incurred in our London and Australia facilities as either costs of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses or research and development expenses. We believe that the new classifications better reflect the primary purpose and functions of each of these facilities, as described below. The new manner of classifying these costs is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The reclassifications did not have any effect on net loss or net loss per share.
The primary purpose of our Houston, Texas facility is to conduct research on the development, testing and approval of the aesthetic and dental applications of our process, including the required clinical trials, and research into other applications of our process, while our London and Australia (expected to be closed by December 2005) facilities were engaged in the commercialization of our process (for which they earned revenues from the sale of Isolagen Process
30
Injections) in these markets as a means of improving manufacturing technologies that are more automated and therefore can be used to produce commercial quantities of injections on a profitable basis. Therefore, we have classified as cost of sales the costs (except for costs related to marketing, sales and general corporate administration) incurred in operating our London and Australia facilities, while the costs incurred in operating our Houston, Texas facility (except for costs related to general corporate administration) have been classified as research and development expenses. Previously some of the costs of operating our London and Australia facilities now included in cost of sales had been included in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.
Costs of sales includes salaries and benefits, costs paid to third-party contractors to develop and manufacture drug materials and delivery devices, and a portion of facilities cost. Those costs, except for the costs of raw materials that have not been used, are expensed as incurred to cost of sales.
Historically, autologous cell companies have been hampered by manufacturing technologies that use traditional methodology for culturing cells through the utilization of plastic flasks. This methodology is labor intensive, slow, involves many sterile interventions and is costly. The use of this process to produce Isolagen Process injections in commercial quantities would not, over time, be profitable. We have been using the commercialization of our process in these markets as a means of researching and developing manufacturing technologies that are more automated and therefore can be used to produce commercial quantities of injections on a profitable basis. Cumulative to date, our cost of sales has exceeded our revenues. This reflects the fact that the level of our sales from our commercialization efforts in the United Kingdom and previously Australia, while increasing over 2004, have not yet reached the levels necessary for profitable operations, and the development and implementation of our automated processes has not yet achieved all of the cost efficiencies we hope to achieve.
If, in the future, the purposes for which we operate our Houston, Texas, or London facilities, or any new facilities we open, changes, the allocation of the costs incurred in operating that facility between cost of sales and research and development expenses could change to reflect such operational changes. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we commenced a non-cancelable three year operating lease in Exton, Pennsylvania. This new Exton facility currently houses members of our senior management team and the Finance department. We recently began constructing a production line in a portion of this facility in anticipation of eventual FDA approval. We completed the facility during September 2005, and expect to complete validation of the production line by early 2006.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries and benefits, costs paid to third-party contractors to perform research, conduct clinical trials, develop and manufacture drug materials and delivery devices, and a portion of facilities cost. Research and development costs also include costs to develop new and automated technologies and manufacturing, cell collection and logistical process improvements. We are currently developing an automated cell expansion system that will permit an automated cell growth and harvesting process. It is anticipated that the automated cell expansion system will eliminate several of the steps and materials involved in our current system, which we expect will lead to significant cost reductions in both skilled labor and materials and will enable scalable mass production. However, the commercial viability of the automation techniques under consideration is uncertain, and we do not know whether we will be successful in implementing the automated cell expansion system.
Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. Invoicing from third-party contractors for services performed can lag several months. The Company accrues the costs of services rendered in connection with third-party contractor activities based on its estimate of management fees, site management and monitoring costs and data management costs. Actual clinical trial costs may differ from estimated clinical trial costs and are adjusted for in the period in which they become known.
Intangible Assets: Our intangible assets represent patent applications which are recorded at cost. We have filed applications for patents in connection with technologies being developed. The patent applications and any patents issued as a result of these applications are important to the protection of our technologies that may result from our research and development efforts. Costs associated with patent applications and maintaining patents are capitalized when future benefits are reasonably assured and will be amortized over the life of the patents. We review the value recorded for intangibles to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent the carrying value exceeds fair value determined based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows. The projection of future cash flows requires us to make estimates about when product approvals may be obtained, and the
31
amount of future revenues. The actual future results could differ significantly from these estimates, and resulting changes in the estimates of future cash flows could be significant and could affect the recoverability of intangible assets.
Stock-Based Compensation: We account for our stock-based compensation under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123—”Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” Under SFAS No. 123, we are permitted to either record expenses for stock options and other employee compensation plans based on their fair value at the date of grant or to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB No. 25”), and recognize compensation expense, if any, based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument at the measurement date. We have elected to continue following the provisions of APB No. 25. Stock options issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value as required by SFAS No. 123.
Beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we will be required to adopt SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share Based Payment,” which eliminates the use of APB Opinion No. 25 and we will be required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward—the requisite service period. No compensation cost will be recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) must be applied to all options granted or modified after its effective date and also must be applied to recognize the cost associated with the portion of any option awards made before its effective date for which the associated service has not been rendered as of its effective date. We are still studying the requirements of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) and have not yet determined what impact it will have on our results of operations and financial position.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004
REVENUES. Revenues increased $0.5 million to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the continuation of operations in the United Kingdom, increased demand over the prior comparable period and, accordingly, increased treatments shipped. Product volumes, measured by milliliters of product, increased by approximately 135% during the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in revenues was less than management anticipated. Management is assessing the structure of its marketing compensation scheme and has commenced market research with the objective of achieving continued revenue growth. Average selling price per milliliter of treatment decreased approximately 35% during the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. The average selling price has fluctuated and will continue to fluctuate as the Company continues to investigate various price points in the European market.
Promotional activities in the United Kingdom include direct to consumer advertising and special events. Our marketing communications are governed by the UK advertising rules, based on voluntary code and statutory provisions. The Advertising Standards Authority (the “ASA”) is the UK entity that monitors and regulates the content of advertising in the United Kingdom. In June 2004, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (the “MHRA”) informed Isolagen that it had received inquiries about the Isolagen product. Accordingly, the MHRA requested copies of all the material used to advertise and/or promote Isolagen within the United Kingdom for review. Following this inquiry and based on our discussions with both the MHRA and the ASA, we agreed to modify our advertising and promotional materials to address concerns, including clarifying the regulatory status of the product in the United Kingdom and deleting references to long-lasting effects. We do not believe these modifications will seriously affect our ability to generate future sales though it is possible that further questions could be forthcoming from the agency requiring further revisions to promotional material. Such revisions could negatively impact our ability to promote the product. However, the Company has subsequently resumed its advertising with the modified content approved by the ASA.
The Isolagen Process involves a patient’s physician obtaining an approximately three millimeter punch skin sample from the patient. The skin sample is packed in a container provided by us and shipped overnight to our laboratory. We invoice the physician upon receipt of the skin sample. The specimen is then cultured utilizing our Isolagen Process. Approximately six weeks later the patient’s cells are sent to the doctor for treatment. Additional amounts are available for
32
re-injection every two to three weeks. For example, for three injection treatments we recognize one-third of the revenue associated with each treatment upon the shipment of the first injection to the patient’s physician, an additional one-third of revenue associated with each treatment is recognized upon shipment of the second injection to the patient’s physician, and the remaining one-third is recognized upon the shipment of the last injection to the patient’s physician. For two injection treatments, we recognize one-half of the revenue associated with each treatment upon the shipment of the first injection to the patient’s physician and the remaining one-half of revenue is recognized upon shipment of the second injection to the patient’s physician.
The revenues which we recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 from our United Kingdom operations were in part reduced by the effects of promotional incentives provided to doctors utilizing the Isolagen Process. From time to time, we provide promotional incentives, or no charge treatments, to doctors utilizing the Isolagen Process. Such promotional incentives are not reflected as revenues, but rather, are reflected as marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect to continue providing such promotional incentives to doctors during the introduction phase of the Isolagen Process in the United Kingdom.
We also offer a service whereby we store a patient’s cells for later use in the preparation of injections. The fees charged for this service are recognized as revenue ratably over the length of the storage agreement. Revenues from this service in each three month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were less than $0.1 million. Additionally, we offer a service whereby we process a patient’s cells to expand the cells to the mass necessary to prepare an injection, but then store the expanded cells for later use in the preparation of injections. Revenues from this service, since inception of the Company, are less than $0.1 million.
COST OF SALES. Costs of sales increased $0.3 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in cost of sales is primarily related to the increase in activities of our London facility. The increase in activity resulted in increases in essentially all categories of costs as this facility increased its commercialization of our process and revenues have increased. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, our cost of sales exceeded revenues as the development and implementation of our automated processes has not yet achieved all of the cost efficiencies we anticipate.
As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales were approximately 111% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and approximately 131% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The change in this percentage is the result of the lower level of sales activity during 2004, given the London facility’s early stage of commercial development, and the associated lower level of operational activity. As product volumes have increased, our fixed costs have been spread over a greater number of units, thereby lowering cost of sales as a percentage of revenue. In addition, as a result of certain manufacturing initiatives, we have experienced improvements regarding the quantity of certain materials utilized in our manufacturing process, thereby lowering our cost of sales as a percentage of revenue. Since 2002 we have made our Isolagen Process available to physicians in the United Kingdom. The Company has been using the commercialization of the Isolagen Process in this market as a means of researching and developing manufacturing technologies that are more automated and, therefore, we believe could be used to produce commercial quantities of injections on a profitable basis. As the London facility operations continue to develop and mature, resulting in significant changes to its stage of commercial development, large fluctuations in the percentage of cost of sales to revenues are experienced.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 41%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The fluctuation in selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily due to the following:
a) Salaries decreased by approximately $0.5 million to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $1.7 million for three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease is the result of a $1.0 million nonrecurring employee severance charge included in the three months ended September 30, 2004 results. That decrease was partially offset by an increase in recurring salaries of $0.5 million due to an increase in the number of employees.
b) Promotional expense increased by approximately $0.4 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $0.4 million for three months ended September 30, 2004, due to increased marketing and promotional efforts related to the expansion of our operations in the United Kingdom.
33
c) Other general and administrative operating costs increased by approximately $2.1 million to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $2.5 million for three months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to increased facility occupancy costs of $0.5 million, and an impairment charge related to certain third party developed software costs recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2005 of $1.4 million as such software was taken out of service and not expected to provide future value.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses increased by approximately $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $2.3 million, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Research and development costs are composed primarily of costs related to the Company’s efforts to gain FDA approval for the Isolagen Process for specific dermal applications in the United States and also include costs to develop new and automated technologies and manufacturing, cell collection and logistical process improvements. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2005, we began an investigational study related to patients subjectively considered to be poor responders to the Isolagen Process (or the “suboptimal program”). Approximately 105 patients are ultimately expected to be included in the suboptimal program and the program is expected to be completed during the first half of 2006 at an estimated total cost ranging from $0.3 million to $0.4 million. Approximately $0.1 million of costs were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2005 related to this suboptimal program. Our initial Phase III dermal studies and our Phase II dental studies concluded during the three months ended June 30, 2005. These costs include those personnel and laboratory costs related to the FDA trials and certain consulting costs. The total cost of research and development as of September 30, 2005 was $19.3million. We have commenced preparations for an additional Phase III dermal trial during the fourth quarter of 2005. Further testing requirements for the dermal applications may be imposed by the FDA. The FDA approval process is extremely complicated and is dependent upon our study protocols and the results of our studies. In the event that the FDA requires additional studies for dermal applications or requires changes in our study protocols or in the event that the results of the studies are not consistent with our expectations, the process will be more expensive and time consuming. Due to the vagaries of the FDA approval process and the recent developments as to our initial dermal studies (see the Recent Developments section) we are unable to predict what the cost of obtaining approval for the dermal applications will be at this time. We have other research projects currently underway. However, research and development costs related to these projects were not material during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The significant changes in research and development expense are due to the following: a) consulting expense increased by approximately $0.5 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 due to increased costs in connection with the conclusion of the initial Phase III dermal studies and b) salaries and payroll taxes increased by approximately $0.5 million to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as a result of increased average employees engaged in research and development activities. These increases were offset by a decrease in laboratory expenses of approximately $0.2 million due to the conclusion of clinical production associated with the dermal studies.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in interest income resulted principally from an increase in the amount of cash held in interest bearing accounts, and our investment in marketable debt securities, as a result of the issuance of $90 million of 3.5% convertible subordinated debt in the fourth quarter of 2004; as well as an increase in interest rates over the comparable period.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $1.0 million for three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in interest expense is primarily related to the interest expense associated with the issuance on November 1, 2004 of $90 million in principal amount of 3.5% convertible subordinated debt, as well as the related amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
NET LOSS. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $9.3 million, as compared to a net loss of $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. This increase in net loss represents the effects of the increases in our selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and interest expense, partially offset by the increase in interest income and improvement in our gross margin. As a result of declining foreign currency exchange rates since December 31, 2004, specifically as it relates to the British pound and the Swiss franc, our accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.5 million at December 31, 2004 has decreased to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.4 million at September 30, 2005; or a change of $0.9 million. However, this loss is considered
34
unrealized and is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accordingly, this unrealized loss may increase or decrease in the future, based on the movement of foreign currency exchange rates, but will not have an impact on net income (loss) until the related foreign capital investments are sold or otherwise realized.
Comparison of the nine months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004
REVENUES. Revenues increased $4.6 million, to $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the continuation of operations in the United Kingdom. Product volumes, as measured by milliliter of product, increased by approximately 290% during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in revenues was less than management anticipated. Management is assessing the structure of its marketing compensation scheme and has commenced market research with the objective of achieving continued revenue growth. Average selling price per milliliter of treatment decreased approximately 16% during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The average selling price has fluctuated as the Company continues to investigate various price points in the European market.
The revenues which we recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 from our United Kingdom operations were in part reduced by the effects of promotional incentives provided to doctors utilizing the Isolagen Process. From time to time, we provide promotional incentives, or no charge treatments, to doctors utilizing the Isolagen Process. Such promotional incentives are not reflected as revenues, but rather, are reflected as marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect to continue providing such promotional incentives to doctors during the introduction phase of the Isolagen Process in the United Kingdom.
We also offer a service whereby we store a patient’s cells for later use in the preparation of injections. The fees charged for this service are recognized as revenue ratably over the length of the storage agreement. Revenues from this service in each nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were less than $0.2 million. Additionally, we offer a service whereby we process a patient’s cells to expand the cells to the mass necessary to prepare an injection, but then store the expanded cells for later use in the preparation of injections. Revenues from this service, since inception of the Company, are less than $0.1 million.
COST OF SALES. Costs of sales increased to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in cost of sales is primarily related to the increase in activities of our London facility and increased sales. The increase resulted from increases in essentially all categories of costs as these facilities increased their commercialization of our process. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company has continued to increase manufacturing headcount and related overhead costs in anticipation of future increases in demand. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, our cost of sales exceeded revenues as the development and implementation of our automated processes has not yet achieved all of the cost efficiencies we anticipate.
As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales were approximately 106% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and approximately 161% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The change in this percentage is the result of the lower level of sales activity during 2004, given the London facility’s early stage of commercial development, and the associated lower level of operational activity. As product volumes have increased, our fixed costs have been spread over a greater number of units, thereby lowering cost of sales as a percentage of revenue. In addition, as a result of certain manufacturing initiatives, we have experienced improvements regarding the quantity of certain materials utilized in our manufacturing process, thereby lowering our cost of sale as a percentage of revenue. Since 2002 we have made our Isolagen Process available to physicians in the United Kingdom. The Company has been using the commercialization of the Isolagen Process in this market as a means of researching and developing manufacturing technologies that are more automated and, therefore, we believe could be used to produce commercial quantities of injections on a profitable basis. As the London facility operations continue to develop and mature, resulting in significant changes to its stage of commercial development, large fluctuations in the percentage of cost of sales to revenues are experienced.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $6.7 million, or 64%, to $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily due to the following:
35
a) Consulting expense decreased by approximately $1.1 million to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the consulting costs included $1.2 million of stock based expenses related to options and warrants issued under consulting and distribution agreements and $0.3 million of stock compensation related to stock options issued to directors and officers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005,there was approximately $0.1 million of stock based income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The level of the expense recorded for the warrants issued under consulting and distribution contracts varies from quarter to quarter based on changes in the market price of our common stock.
b) Salaries increased by approximately $0.8 million to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $2.8 million for nine months ended September 30, 2004, due to an increase in the number of our employees.
c) Travel expense increased by approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $0.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2004, due primarily to increased travel between our Houston, Texas and Exton, Pennsylvania locations.
d) Promotional expense increased by approximately $1.3 million to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $1.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2004 due to increased marketing and promotional efforts related to the expansion of our operations in the United Kingdom.
e) Other general and administrative costs increased by approximately $5.2 million to $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $3.9 million for nine months ended September 30, 2004 due primarily to increased facility occupancy costs of $1.1 million, increased accounting fees of $0.5 million, increased insurance and office costs of $0.5 million and increased general costs related to increasing headcount, higher overall business activity of $1.5 million and an impairment charge related to certain third party developed software costs recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $1.4 million as such software was taken out of service and not expected to provide future value.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses increased by approximately $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $7.4 million, as compared to $3.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Research and development costs are composed primarily of costs related to the Company’s efforts to gain FDA approval for the Isolagen Process for specific dermal applications in the United States and also include costs to develop new and automated technologies and manufacturing, cell collection and logistical process improvements. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2005, we began an investigational study related to patients subjectively considered to be poor responders to the Isolagen Process (or the “suboptimal program”). Approximately 105 patients are ultimately expected to be included in the suboptimal program and the program is expected to be completed during the first half of 2006 at an estimated total cost ranging from $0.3 million to $0.4 million. Approximately $0.1 million of costs were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2005 related to this suboptimal program. Our initial Phase III dermal studies and our Phase II dental studies concluded during the three months ended June 30, 2005. These costs include those personnel and laboratory costs related to the FDA trials and certain consulting costs. The total cost of research and development as of September 30, 2005 was $19.3 million. We have commenced preparations for an additional Phase III dermal trial during the fourth quarter of 2005. Further testing requirements for the dermal applications may be imposed by the FDA. The FDA approval process is extremely complicated and is dependent upon our study protocols and the results of our studies. In the event that the FDA requires additional studies for dermal applications or requires changes in our study protocols or in the event that the results of the studies are not consistent with our expectations, the process will be more expensive and time consuming. Due to the vagaries of the FDA approval process and the recent developments as to our initial dermal studies (see the Recent Developments section) we are unable to predict what the cost of obtaining approval for the dermal applications will be at this time. We have other research projects currently underway. However, research and development costs related to these projects were not material during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.The major changes in research and development expense are due primarily to the following: a) consulting expense increased by approximately $2.5 million to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as a result of increased expenditures related to our clinical trials and automated cell expansion system development and b) salaries and payroll taxes increased by approximately $1.3 million to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
36
2005, as compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as a result of increased average employees engaged in research and development activities.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in interest income resulted principally from an increase in the amount of cash held in interest bearing accounts, and our investment in marketable debt securities, as the result of our receipt of $56.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the second quarter of 2004 and the issuance of $90 million of 3.5% convertible subordinated debt in the fourth quarter of 2004; as well as an increase in interest rates over the comparable period.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $2.9 million for nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in interest expense is related to the interest expense associated with the issuance on November 1, 2004 of $90 million in principal amount of 3.5% convertible subordinated debt, as well as the related amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
NET LOSS. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $25.7 million as compared to a net loss of $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This increase in net loss represents the effects of the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and interest expense, partially offset by the increase in our increase in interest income and improvement in gross margin. As a result of declining foreign currency exchange rates since December 31, 2004, specifically as it relates to the British pound and the Swiss franc, our accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.5 million at December 31, 2004 has decreased to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.4 million at September 30, 2005; or a change of $0.9 million. However, this loss is considered unrealized and is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accordingly, this unrealized loss may increase or decrease in the future, based on the movement of foreign currency exchange rates, but will not have an impact on net income (loss) until the related foreign capital investments are sold or otherwise realized.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, amounted to $22.8 million, as compared to the $9.4 million of cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in the cash used in operations of $13.4 million reflects the increases in our expenses, and in our net loss as discussed above (adjusted for non-cash expenditures) of $10.7 million. Further, during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company’s changes in net operating assets provided cash flows of $0.4 million, principally due to decreases in accounts receivable and inventory, offset, partially by a decrease in accounts payable, while during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 the Company’s change in net operating assets provided cash flows of $3.1 million due principally to increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenues. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, we financed our operating cash flow needs from our cash on hand at the beginning of the periods. Those cash balances were the result of debt and equity offerings we completed in 2004 and 2003.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $11.1 million as compared to cash used by investing activities of $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004; a positive change of $12.8 million. This increase in cash provided by investing activities is due to the net proceeds from the sale of short-term investments, net, of $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. No such investments were bought or sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. These proceeds were offset by an increase in capital expenditures from $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $15.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, or an increase in capital expenditures of $14.0 million. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily consisted of our April 2005 purchase of the Switzerland land and buildings for $10.0 million, related Switzerland build-out costs of $1.5 million, and purchases related to the build-out of our Exton, Pennsylvania facility of $2.8 million.
37
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $57.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. In the prior year period, the cash flows represented cash received upon the issuance of common stock.
Working Capital
As of September 30, 2005, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $77.9 million and working capital of $71.7 million (including our cash and short-term investments). We believe our existing capital resources are adequate to finance our operations until June 30, 2007; however, our long-term viability is dependent upon successful operation of our business, our ability to automate our manufacturing process, the approval of our products and the ability to raise additional debt and equity to meet our business objectives.
In November 2004, we issued $90.0 million in principal amount of 3.5% convertible subordinated notes due November 1, 2024.
The notes are our general, unsecured obligations. The notes are subordinated in right of payment, which means that they will rank in right of payment behind other indebtedness of ours. In addition, the notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries. We will be required to repay the full principal amount of the notes on November 1, 2024 unless they are previously converted, redeemed or repurchased.
The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.5% from the date of issuance of the notes. We will pay interest twice a year, on each May 1 and November 1, until the principal is paid or made available for payment or the notes have been converted. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The note holders may convert the notes into shares of our common stock at any time before the close of business on November 1, 2024, unless the notes have been previously redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate (which is subject to adjustment) for the notes is 109.2001 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.16 per share. Holders of notes called for redemption or submitted for repurchase will be entitled to convert the notes up to and including the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption or repurchase.
At any time on or after November 1, 2009, we may redeem some or all of the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The note holders will have the right to require us to repurchase their notes on November 1 of 2009, 2014 and 2019. In addition, if we experience a fundamental change (which generally will be deemed to occur upon the occurrence of a change in control or a termination of trading of our common stock), note holders will have the right to require us to repurchase their notes. In the event of certain fundamental changes that occur on or prior to November 1, 2009, we will also pay a make-whole premium to holders that require us to purchase their notes in connection with such fundamental change.
Inflation did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS
We do not engage in material off-balance sheet transactions.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our market risk relates to foreign currency transactions and the potential effects of changes in exchange rates. Such market risks have not changed materially from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
38
ended December 31, 2004 filed with the SEC on March 15, 2005, except that during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company purchased approximately $10 million of land and buildings located in Switzerland, and expended an additional $1.5 million for related build-out costs. These assets are translated from Swiss francs into U.S. dollars each accounting period and the effect of such translation is reflected as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity. Our consolidated stockholders’ equity fluctuates depending on the weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the foreign currency in which foreign assets and liabilities are denominated.
As a result of declining foreign currency exchange rates since December 31, 2004, specifically as it relates to the British pound and the Swiss franc, our accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.5 million at December 31, 2004 has decreased to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.4 million at September 30, 2005; or a change of $0.9 million. However, this loss is considered unrealized and is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accordingly, this unrealized loss may increase or decrease in the future, based on the movement of foreign currency exchange rates, but will not have an impact on net income (loss) until the related foreign capital investments are sold or otherwise realized.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) have conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the date of such evaluation to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report was being prepared.
In our Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed with the SEC on April 28, 2005, we disclosed that our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, which was based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (COSO Framework), had identified five material weaknesses, as follows:
• The Company’s accounting systems and control procedures, including certain control procedures that are dependent on the review of the Company’s accounting by management, were inadequate to insure that certain indirect costs associated with the production process were properly classified in the Company’s financial statements.
• The Company failed to perform certain control procedures designed to ensure that the financial statement presentations and related disclosures were complete and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
• The Chief Financial Officer is actively involved in the preparation of the financial statements, and therefore cannot provide an independent review and quality assurance function within the accounting and financial reporting group.
• The number of qualified accounting personnel with experience in public company SEC reporting and GAAP is extremely limited. There is a risk that a material misstatement of the financial statements could be caused, or at least not be detected in a timely manner, by this shortage of qualified resources.
39
• The Company lacks effective controls to prevent or detect fraud, including insuring that transactions are properly authorized in a timely manner. This material weakness exists because of the aggregate effect of multiple significant deficiencies in internal control which affect the Company’s fraud detection and prevention controls, including: a) a failure to effectively implement, follow, and enforce the limits on the delegation of authority for expenditure from the Board of Directors to management, including the failure by management to obtain the required Board approvals for certain expenditures; b) the lack of an effective risk assessment process for the identification of fraud risks; c) a failure to ensure the consistent and timely completion of employee acknowledgments of the Company’s Code of Ethics required by Company policy; d) the lack of an internal audit function or other effective mechanism for ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness of internal controls.
The Company has been implementing changes to remedy the foregoing material weaknesses in its system of internal controls over financial reporting on a continuous basis. As of September 30, 2005, the Certifying Officers have assessed our disclosure controls and determined that (i) there were no material weaknesses that were not previously identified as of December 31, 2004 and (ii) the Company has remedied the first four of the five material weaknesses listed above as follows:
• The Company remedied the weakness in its internal controls, including certain control procedures that are dependent on the review of the Company’s accounting by management, that had previously been inadequate to insure that certain indirect costs associated with the production process were properly classified in the Company’s financial statements.
• The Company completed the design and implementation of certain control procedures designed to ensure that the financial statement presentations and related disclosures were completed in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s steps to remedy this weakness included the hiring of two new qualified accounting employees and compliance with a control procedure whereby, on a quarterly basis, a financial reporting disclosure checklist is completed to ensure financial statement presentation and disclosures are in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements.
• The Chief Financial Officer is no longer actively involved in the preparation of the financial statements, and therefore provides an independent review and quality assurance function within the accounting and financial reporting group.
• The Company remedied the limited number of qualified accounting personnel with experience in public company SEC reporting and GAAP by hiring a new Chief Financial Officer and new Corporate Controller during fiscal 2005, who possess significant experience in public company SEC reporting and GAAP.
The Company’s response timeline to the foregoing weaknesses was as follows: the material weaknesses were detected during the course of the December 31, 2004 financial statement audit which concluded April 27, 2005; the Company commenced its efforts to address the matters during April 2005, and completed its remedial steps on the first four of the five above-referenced weaknesses by September 30, 2005.
The Company is in the process of addressing the last material weakness identified above. The Company, under the supervision of its Audit Committee, is working diligently to assess what changes are needed to the Company’s financial reporting or disclosure controls to remedy this last material weakness in an effective and expeditious matter. The Company believes that it has substantially remediated the last material weakness identified above, however, such remediation has not yet been subjected to testing to allow for conclusion as to its effectiveness.
The Company plans to continue to implement changes and improvements in its system of internal controls over financial reporting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, in addition to the foregoing measures, the Company implemented procedural changes to its grants of authority, commenced an anti-fraud program and improved certain entity level controls, which combined measures are designed to assist in addressing the remaining material weakness discussed above. The Company will continue to evaluate its disclosure controls and procedures, and to seek to both implement, on a timely basis, changes to its disclosure controls and procedures that may be necessary to keep them effective in light of any changes in the nature of its business and any rapidly changing environment, and improve them.
40
Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Federal Securities Litigation
The Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors are defendants in class action cases pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On August 18, 2005, Elliot Liff brought an action styled, C.A. No. H-05-2887, Elliot Liff v. Isolagen, Inc., Frank M. Delape, Robert J. Bitterman, Michael Macaluso, Jeffrey W. Tomz, Olga Marko, William K. Boss, Jr. and Michael Avignon, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
In this action, the Plaintiff purports to bring a federal securities fraud class action on behalf of purchasers of the publicly traded securities of Isolagen between March 3, 2004 and August 1, 2005, including purchasers of Isolagen stock issued in connection with and traceable to Isolagen’s June 2004 common stock offering. The action asserts that the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 by making certain false statements and omissions to the investing public regarding the Company’s business operations, management, and intrinsic value of Isolagen’s publicly traded securities. The Complaint also alleges liability against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.
On September 16, 2005, Ronald Gargiulo brought an action styled, C.A. No. 05-cv-4983, Ronald A. Gargiulo v. Isolagen, Inc., Frank M. DeLape, Robert J. Bitterman, Michael Macaluso, Jeffrey W. Tomz, Olga Marko, William K. Boss, Jr. and Michael Avignon, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. This action (and another subsequently filed action in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania) makes substantially similar allegations against the defendants.
Four movants have subsequently made applications under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 to be appointed Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel. Those applications are pending before the courts. The Company anticipates that after Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel are selected, an amended consolidated complaint will be filed and that the Company and the individual defendants will move to dismiss that complaint.
Derivative Actions
The Company is the nominal defendant in derivative actions pending in State District Court in Harris County, Texas and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. On September 28, 2005, Carmine Vitale filed an action styled, Cause No. 2005-61840, Carmine Vitale v. Frank DeLape, Robert J. Bitterman, Michael Macaluso, Jeffrey W. Tomz, Steven Morrell, Henry Y.L. Toh, Ralph V. De Martino, Marshall G. Webb, William K. Boss, Jr., Michael Avignon and Isolagen, Inc., in the 55th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.
In this action, the plaintiff purports to bring a shareholder derivative action on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The Plaintiff alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and engaged in other wrongful conduct. Certain individual defendants are accused of improper trading in Isolagen stock.
The plaintiff did not make a demand on the Board of Isolagen prior to bringing the action and plaintiff alleges that a demand was excused under the law as futile.
On October 8, 2005, Richard Keene, filed an action styled, C.A. No. H-05-3441, Richard Keene v. Frank M. DeLape, Robert J. Bitterman, Michael Macaluso, Jeffrey W. Tomz, Olga Marko, William K. Boss, Jr., Michael Avignon, Steven Morrell, Henry Y.L. Toh, Ralph De Martino, Marshall G. Webb, and Isolagen, Inc., in the United States District
41
Court for the Southern District of Texas. This action makes substantially similar allegations as the Vitale action. The plaintiff also alleges that his failure to make a demand on the Board prior to filing the action is excused as futile.
The Company has not appeared in the derivative cases and expects to make a motion seeking dismissal of the actions on the grounds that a demand was required prior to the filing of the cases.
Other Matters
In connection with the resignation of Frank DeLape as Chairman of the Board and member of the Board of Directors of Isolagen, Inc. (“Isolagen”), effective as of October 27, 2005, Isolagen, Isolagen Technologies, Inc. and Frank DeLape have entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. DeLape agreed, among other things, to (a) resign all positions with Isolagen and all of its subsidiaries and to terminate his employment with Isolagen, (b) certain lock-up and standstill restrictions in respect of Isolagen shares he and his affiliates own through July 2006, and (c) execute a release for the benefit of Isolagen and its subsidiaries. Isolagen agreed, among other things, to pay a separation payment in the amount of $210,000, beginning on Mr. DeLape’s resignation date through March 15, 2006. Mr. DeLape also will retain options to purchase (a) 650,000 shares of common stock of Isolagen, par value $.001 per share (“Isolagen Common Stock”) granted on September 1, 2001, which are fully vested as of his resignation date and will be exercisable for a period of two years following his resignation date, (b) 400,000 shares of Isolagen Common Stock granted on February 25, 2003, which are fully vested as of his resignation date and will be exercisable for a period of five years following his resignation date and (c) 150,000 shares of Isolagen Common Stock granted on September 5, 2003, which are fully vested as of his resignation date and will be exercisable for a period of three years following his resignation date. All other unexercised options granted to Mr. DeLape to purchase shares of Isolagen will be cancelled as of Mr. DeLape’s resignation date. The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement of June 2005 between Frank DeLape and Isolagen has been terminated. Any options to purchase stock under the 2005 Agreement have been cancelled. The separation payment pursuant to the Separation and Release Agreement reflects the amount that would otherwise be owed under Mr. DeLape’s 2003 Employment Agreement reduced by the amount of certain office expense reimbursements paid to him pursuant to the 2005 Agreement.
The Company is involved in various other legal matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, management believes that the results will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company did not sell any securities during the three months ended September 30, 2005 that were not registered under the Securities Act. The Company did not make any repurchase of its Common Stock during the three months ended September 30, 2005.
