Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
Aesgen, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Aesgen, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, redeemable preferred stock and shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aesgen, Inc. at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003
1. Organization and Description of Business
Aesgen, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware Corporation, was created by Mayo Medical Ventures, a unit of Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”) and aaiPharma, Inc. formerly Applied Analytical Industries Inc. (“AAI”) to develop, manufacture, and market select innovative pharmaceuticals, and multisource generic products. The Company has entered into development agreements for formulations, clinical research and product development with various companies.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and royalties receivable. The Company maintains a significant portion of its cash and cash equivalents with a major bank. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to seven years. Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Licensed Technology
The Company has obtained licenses to use products that have previously been patented. The Company records amortization on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives of the patents, not to exceed 17 years.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations or expected to be disposed when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets are less than the carrying amounts of these assets. No such events and circumstances have occurred. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Statement had no impact on the financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, royalties receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock approximate their fair values.
Revenue Recognition
The Company receives revenue under agreements with third parties that sell products based on technology owned by the Company. These agreements provide for the payment of royalties to the Company based on sales of licensed products. Royalty income is recorded as sales of licensed products take place.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Comprehensive Loss
The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income (loss) for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 or for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
As permitted by FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(Statement No. 123), the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plan. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized at the time of option grant when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock option equals the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by Statement No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation under the fair value method prescribed in that Statement. The fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using the minimum value pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 3.88% for 2004, 3.03% for 2003 and 3.00% for 2002, dividend yields of 10.00% for the Series A Preferred Stock and 0.00% for the Common Stock, and expected lives of the options of 7 years. At December 31, 2003, the weighted-average contractual lives of the options to purchase Common Stock is 8.6 years. The following table summarizes relevant information as to reported results under the Company’s intrinsic value method of accounting for stock awards, with supplemental information as if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been applied for the following fiscal years:

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

11. Income Taxes
As a result of the Company’s equity transactions it is possible that an “ownership” change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code occurred. The Company has not performed a detailed analysis to determine whether an ownership change under Section 382 occurred. The result of an ownership change would be to restrict, or possibly eliminate, utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforward in future years.
At December 31, 2003, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $27,180,300 which expire in 2010 through 2021.
In 2002, current taxes of approximately $140,000 had been recorded to reflect the tax liability due to the State of New Jersey. A current liability was required due to the suspension on the use of net operating losses for the year 2002 in New Jersey.
In February 2003, $1,395,350 of unused New Jersey State NOLs were sold under the State of New Jersey’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program (the “Program”). The Program allows qualified technology and biotechnology businesses in New Jersey to sell unused amounts of NOL carryforwards for cash. The tax value sold was $231,691, and the proceeds received by the Company were $221,617 which was recorded as an income tax benefit, net of approximately $6,500 of minimum state income taxes, in the statement of operations.
In January 2002, $3,139,063 of unused New Jersey State NOLs were sold under the Program. The Program allows qualified technology and biotechnology businesses in New Jersey to sell unused amounts of NOL carryforwards for cash. The tax value sold was $282,516, and the proceeds received by the Company were $248,614 which was recorded as an income tax benefit in the statement of operations.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax asset, which is noncurrent, are as follows:

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2003 and 2002 to fully offset the benefits of net operating losses and carryforwards generated during those years, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforward. The valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2001 was $10,921,000.

The Company entered into a Product Transfer, Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement with MOVA on September 26, 1996 (the “MOVA Agreement”) which provided for the manufacture of certain of the Company’s abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) products. In April 2001, the Company notified MOVA of its intention to terminate the MOVA Agreement and of its intention to audit MOVA’s books and records in accordance with the terms of the MOVA Agreement
In connection with the termination of the MOVA Agreement, the Company entered into a Product Sales Agreement on December 21, 2001 with AAI (the “AAI Agreement”) to sell certain of the Company’s product development projects and ANDA products previously manufactured under the MOVA Agreement. As consideration for the sale of the ANDA products, AAI agreed to (i) pay any amounts due MOVA by the Company as determined by the audit, (ii) pay all of the Company’s costs associated with the audit, (iii) indemnify the Company and its directors and officers against all lawsuits and claims associated with the MOVA Agreement, and (iv) assume certain liabilities of the Company due AAI. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of the ANDA products of $513,523 ($277,166 resulting from AAI’s assumption of certain liabilities due MOVA as determined by the audit and $236,357 resulting from the assumption of liabilities due AAI).
