(1) We have determined to restate our financial results for each of the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The principal
2
adjustments are as follows: (i) development and start-up costs associated with establishing alternate manufacturing sources for our approved drug OXANDRIN and for a new tablet formulation, which costs were previously capitalized, have been expensed in the year incurred; (ii) manufacturing development costs associated with a product we were developing, which costs were originally capitalized and written-off in 1999 when we terminated research on this product, have been expensed in the year incurred; (iii) compensation charges resulting from modification of the period of vesting and exercisability of certain stock option awards to certain employees and former employees made in connection with the termination of their employment and post-employment consulting arrangements have been recognized in the period of modification; (iv) a 1999 product sale has been reversed to reflect significant uncertainties concerning the realization of the invoiced amount at the time of sale; (v) recognition of an up-front contract fee related to a development and distribution agreement, originally treated as a milestone payment, has been deferred in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 (“SAB 101”); and (vi) reestablishment of assets previously written off against negative goodwill associated with the Myelos acquisition and subsequent depreciation and amortization of such assets and additional amortization of negative goodwill. See note 2 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. The selected consolidated financial data for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 and as of December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 have been adjusted in accordance with the foregoing adjustments and are unaudited.
(2) Effective January 1, 2000, BTG adopted SAB 101 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 1999. As a result of adopting SAB 101, BTG changed the way it recognizes revenue from contract fees for the license of marketing and distribution rights where the consideration is a one-time nonrefundable payment. Prior to the issuance of SAB 101, BTG recorded revenue from the license of marketing and distribution rights when the rights were licensed and/or when these payments were received. Effective January 1, 2000, BTG recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to contract revenues recognized in prior years in the amount of $12,558,000, net of income taxes of $4,380,000, of which $853,000 was recognized as contract fee revenue in 2000 and $1,156,000 was recognized as contract fee revenue in 2001. The related revenues are now being recognized over the term of the related agreements.
(3) In connection with our acquisition of Myelos and based on an independent valuation, BTG allocated $45,600,000 to in-process research and development projects of Myelos, representing the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows of the acquired technology. At the date of the acquisition the technology acquired in the acquisition was not fully commercially developed and had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, the value was expensed as of the acquisition date. BTG recorded negative goodwill of $18,914,000 on its balance sheet, primarily because the amount written off as in-process research and development acquired exceeded the purchase price for accounting purposes. This negative goodwill was being amortized over its expected useful life of five years, and had the effect of reducing reported expenses by $2,961,000 during 2001. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, amortization of the negative goodwill ceased beginning January 1, 2002, and the balance remaining will be maintained as a deferred credit until it is either netted against the contingent payments or reflected in net income as an extraordinary item should the contingent payments not become due because the technology did not meet the milestones which trigger payment.
3
The following table sets forth BTG’s pro forma results of operations as if SAB 101 had been in effect since January 1, 1997. Because BTG adopted SAB 101 as of January 1, 2000, there is no difference between BTG’s actual and pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, other than the cumulative effect adjustment recognized in 2000.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A concerning BTG’s business outlook or future economic performance; anticipated profitability, revenues, expenses or other financial items; introductions and advancements in development of products, and plans and objectives related thereto; and statements concerning assumptions made or expectations as to any future events, conditions, performance or other matters, are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Federal Securities Laws. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to, changes and delays in product development plans and schedules, changes and delays in product approval and introduction, customer acceptance of new products, changes in pricing or other actions by competitors, patents owned by BTG and its competitors, changes in healthcare reimbursement, risk of operations in Israel, risk of product liability, governmental regulation, dependence on third parties to manufacture products and commercialize products and general economic conditions, as well as other risks detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Overview
We are engaged in the research, development, manufacture and marketing of biopharmaceutical products. Through a combination of internal research and development, acquisitions, collaborative relationships and licensing arrangements, BTG has developed a portfolio of therapeutic products, including nine products that have received regulatory approval for sale and are currently being marketed, four products that are in registration or clinical trials and several products that are in pre-clinical development. We pursue the development of both products with broad markets as well as products with specialized niche markets where we can seek Orphan Drug designation and potential marketing exclusivity.
BTG was founded in 1980 to develop, manufacture and market novel therapeutic products. BTG’s overall administration, licensing, human clinical studies, marketing activities, quality assurance and regulatory affairs are primarily coordinated at our headquarters in Iselin, New Jersey. Pre-clinical studies, research and development activities and manufacturing of BTG’s genetically engineered products are primarily carried out through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Rehovot, Israel.
Effective January 1, 2000, BTG adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 (“SAB 101”) issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 1999. As a result of adopting SAB 101, BTG changed the way it recognizes revenue from contract fees for the license of marketing and distribution rights where the consideration is a one-time nonrefundable payment. Prior to the issuance of SAB 101, BTG recorded revenue from the license of marketing and distribution rights when the rights were licensed and/or when these payments were received. Effective January 1, 2000, BTG recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to contract revenues recognized in prior years in the amount of $12,558,000, net of income taxes of $4,380,000, of which $853,000 was recognized as contract fee revenue in 2000 and $1,156,000 was recognized as contract fee revenue in 2001. The related revenues are now being recognized over the estimated term of the related agreements.
Restatement of Financial Statements
We have determined to restate our financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001. The principal adjustments are as follows:
—Our financial statements include expenses of $680,000 in 1999, $1,379,000 in 2000 and $1,058,000 in 2001 for development and start-up costs associated with establishing alternate manufacturing sources for our approved drug Oxandrin and for a new tablet formulation, which costs were originally capitalized.
—In 1999 we wrote off $1,894,000 of manufacturing development costs associated with a product under development, which costs were originally capitalized, when we terminated research on this product. These costs have now been expensed in the year incurred. The financial statements have been adjusted to eliminate the effect of this write-off from the 1999 consolidated statements of operations and to adjust the accumulated deficit as of December 31, 1998 to write off this cost, net of tax effect.
5
—Our financial statements include compensation charges of $318,000 in 1999, $1,592,000 in 2000 and $1,024,000 in 2001, arising from modification of the period of vesting and exercisability of certain stock option awards to certain employees and former employees made in connection with the termination of their employment and post-employment consulting arrangements, which expense should have been recognized at the time of the modification. Additionally, additional paid-in-capital and accumulated deficit as of December 31, 1998 have each been increased by $2,209,000 to reflect the effect of stock option modifications prior to 1999.
—A 1999 product sale to, and the subsequent repurchase of this product in 2001 from, a distributor in the amount of $2,000,000 and the related cost of goods sold of $385,000 have been excluded from the 1999 consolidated financial statements because of significant uncertainties concerning the realization of the invoiced amount at the time of sale.
—A $5,000,000 up-front contract fee related to a development and distribution agreement that we considered a milestone payment and originally recognized in its entirety as revenue in 2000 has been deferred and is being amortized over the estimated life of the agreement in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101.
—In 2001 we wrote off against negative goodwill $844,000 of assets acquired in the Myelos acquisition. We reestablished these assets on our balance sheet and our 2001 financial statements include $229,000 of depreciation and amortization of such assets and additional amortization of negative goodwill in the amount of $138,000.

As a result of the above adjustments, the Company’s December 31, 1998 additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit changed from the previously reported amounts of $161,164,000 and $(36,396,000) to $163,373,000 and $(39,827,000), respectively.
Acquisition of Myelos Corporation
On March 19, 2001, BTG acquired Myelos Corporation, a privately-held biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapeutics to treat diseases of the nervous system. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, BTG paid Myelos shareholders $35 million in a combination of cash and stock ($14 million in cash and $21 million through the issuance of approximately 2,344,700 shares of BTG common stock (based on a value of $8.9564, representing the average closing price of BTG’s common stock for the 20 trading day period ending one day prior to the February 21, 2001 date the acquisition agreement was executed)).
In the event that (i) BTG publicly announces that it will file a New Drug Application (“NDA”) related to the use of PROSAPTIDE to treat neuropathic pain or neuropathy, (ii) BTG receives United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) minutes stating that the clinical data possessed by BTG is sufficient for an NDA filing for the use of PROSAPTIDE to treat neuropathic pain or neuropathy without requiring any further testing or (iii) BTG initiates preparation of an NDA for PROSAPTIDE for the treatment of neuropathic pain or neuropathy (the date the earliest of the foregoing occurs being the “Payment Trigger Date”), then BTG will pay to the Myelos shareholders an additional $30 million, at least approximately $14 million of which must be paid in shares of BTG common stock, valued at the average of the closing prices of BTG common stock during the 20 trading days ending on the Payment Trigger Date, and the remainder can be paid in cash, shares of BTG common stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by BTG in its sole discretion.
In addition, in the event that the FDA approves the sale of PROSAPTIDE for the treatment of neuropathic pain or neuropathy, BTG will pay the Myelos shareholders 15% of the net sales of PROSAPTIDE for the treatment of neuropathic pain or neuropathy during the 12 month period beginning on the earlier of (i) the 25th full month after commercial introduction of PROSAPTIDE in the United States for the treatment of neuropathic pain or neuropathy and (ii) April 1, 2010. At least 50% of this payment must be paid in shares of BTG common stock, valued at the average of the closing prices of BTG common stock during the 20 days ending one day prior to the payment, and the remainder can be paid in cash, shares of BTG common stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by BTG in its sole discretion.
In no event will BTG be obligated to issue in aggregate to the Myelos shareholders more than 10,962,000 shares of BTG common stock. Any amount of the contingent payments that cannot be paid in shares of BTG common stock shall instead be paid in shares of BTG’s preferred stock. The preferred stock will be non-voting, non-convertible, non-transferable, non-dividend paying (except to the extent a cash dividend is paid on the BTG common stock), with no mandatory redemption for a period of 20 years and one day from the March 19, 2001 closing date of the acquisition, and a right to share in proceeds in liquidation, up to the liquidation amount.
The transaction was treated as a “purchase” for accounting purposes. The purchase price for accounting purposes was approximately $34,387,000 (including acquisition costs of $1,387,000), based on a value for the approximately 2,344,700 shares of BTG common stock issued in the acquisition of $8.1172, representing the average closing price of BTG’s common stock for the four day period preceding the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed to (February 21, 2001). In connection with the merger and based on an independent valuation, BTG allocated $45,600,000 to in-process research and development projects of Myelos, representing the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows of the acquired technology. At the date of the merger the technology acquired in the acquisition was not fully commercially developed and had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, the value was expensed as of the acquisition date. BTG recorded negative goodwill of $18,914,000 on its balance sheet, primarily because the amount written off as in-process research and development acquired exceeded the purchase price for accounting purposes. During 2001 this negative goodwill was being amortized over its expected useful life of five years. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, amortization of the negative goodwill ceased beginning January 1, 2002, and the balance remaining will be maintained as a deferred credit until it is either netted against the contingent payments or reflected in net income as an extraordinary item should the contingent payments not become due because the technology did not meet the milestones which trigger payment.
BTG allocated values to the in-process research and development based on an independent valuation of the research and development project. The value assigned to these assets was determined by estimating the costs to develop the acquired technology into a commercially viable product, estimating the resulting net cash
7
flows from the product, and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The revenue projection used to value the in-process research and development was based on estimates of relevant market size and growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by BTG and its competitors. The resulting net cash flows from such product are based on management’s estimates of cost of sales, operating expenses and income taxes from such product. BTG believes that the assumptions used in the forecasts were reasonable at the time of the merger. No assurance can be given, however, that the underlying assumptions used to estimate sales, development costs or profitability, or the events associated with such product, will transpire as estimated. For these reasons, actual results may vary from projected results. The most significant and uncertain assumptions relating to the in-process research and development relate to the ability to successfully develop a product and the projected timing of completion of, and revenues attributable to, that product.
Investment in Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
In January 2001, in order to obtain a period of exclusivity to negotiate a possible strategic relationship with Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Omrix”), BTG loaned $2,500,000 to Omrix and agreed to convert the loan into, and to purchase an additional $2,500,000 of, shares of Omrix preferred stock if it did not pursue a relationship. BTG determined not to pursue a strategic relationship with Omrix, and on March 31, 2001 converted the existing loan into, and purchased an additional $2,500,000 of, shares of Omrix preferred stock, which is convertible into approximately 4.5% of Omrix common stock (on a fully-diluted basis). Omrix is a privately-held company that develops and markets a unique surgical sealant and a number of immunology products based on blood plasma processing technology. Omrix currently sells its products in Europe, South America and the Middle East. During the fourth quarter of 2001, BTG determined that the decline in the value of its investment in Omrix was other than temporary and, accordingly, wrote-down the value of this investment by $3,000,000 based on management’s evaluation of current market conditions and Omrix’s operations and forecasts. This write-down is included as a component of realized and unrealized loss on investment and other financing expense.
2002 Outlook
We currently anticipate total 2002 revenues, excluding interest income, of at least $100 million. Although we also anticipate growth in total product sales, we expect the growth in sales of OXANDRIN to be partially offset by a lower level of human growth hormone sales in 2002 as compared to 2001. Due in part to industry-wide pricing pressures in Japan by the Japanese Health Ministry and JCR’s management of inventory levels, the level of sales of our human growth hormone to JCR for the Japanese market will be adversely affected, despite an increasing market share. Based on wholesaler orders through February 2002, revenues from DELATESTRYL sales are currently anticipated to exceed those of 2001. Royalty revenues may fall below their 2001 level due to potential generic competition for MIRCETTE. In addition, our anticipated revenues for 2002 may be affected by the injunction preventing Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., BTG’s exclusive distributor of human growth hormone in the United States, from introducing BTG’s human growth hormone product and the delay in the planned introduction of a new OXANDRIN tablet until later in the year.
In order to optimize the maturation of BTG’s proprietary pipeline products, BTG is committing significant additional resources to them in 2002. Although we had initially expected research and development expense to increase by approximately 40% in 2002, we now anticipate such expense will only increase by approximately 35%. The decrease in anticipated research and development expenditures is a result of (i) our determination not to continue to pursue our SOD product until we reach a favorable resolution of clinical design issues with the FDA and (ii) completion of our Phase I clinical studies of PURICASE™, which began in the first quarter of 2002, being delayed as we evaluate how best to proceed with the clinical studies in light of topical hypersensitivity reactions in some individuals participating in the study, despite encouraging early observation of the drug’s effectiveness. Additionally, to fully maximize OXANDRIN’s potential and provide stimulus to its growth, marketing and sales expenses are expected to grow this year by approximately 20%.
Given this significant investment in our future growth, the increase in expenses is anticipated to outpace revenue growth and therefore we are expecting full year EPS to be in the range of fifteen to twenty cents. Our 2002 EPS will depend in significant measure on the growth in OXANDRIN prescriptions and the sales achieved by both Ross and BTG. In addition, acquisition activities could affect our 2002 EPS. We expect our quarterly EPS in 2002 to vary based on the timing of product sales to customers and research and development and marketing expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The items in our consolidated financial statements requiring significant estimates and judgments are as follows:
• Investments. We from time to time invest in nonmarketable equity securities for strategic purposes. These investments are carried at cost. We periodically monitor the liquidity progress and financing activities of these entities to determine if impairment write downs are required. In 2001, we wrote-down our investment in Omrix by $3,000,000.
• Write-off of in-process research and development acquired. In connection with our acquisition of Myelos Corporation, we allocated $45,600,000 to in-process research and development projects of Myelos, representing the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows of the acquired technology. We expensed this value as of the acquisition date because the technology was not fully commercially developed and had no alternative future uses.
• Contract Fees. In accordance with SAB 101, we recognize revenue for up-front nonrefundable contract fees received in respect of the license of marketing and distribution rights over the estimated term of the related agreement.
• Income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their basis for income tax purposes and the tax effects of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We record valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. We have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for valuation allowances, and at December 31, 2001, did not record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. If we determine in the future that we will not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets, adjustments will be charged to income in the period that we made such determination.
• Bad debts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
• Litigation. We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings referred to in the “Commitments and Contingencies” note in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not believe these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, were an unfavorable ruling to occur in any quarterly period, there exists the possibility of a material impact on the operating results.
The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. See our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which begin on page 20 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A which contain accounting policies and other disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

BTG has historically derived its revenues from product sales as well as from collaborative arrangements with third parties, under which BTG may earn up–front contract fees, may receive funding for additional research (including funding from the Chief Scientist of the State of Israel (“Chief Scientist”)), is reimbursed for producing certain experimental materials, may be entitled to certain milestone payments, may sell product at specified prices and may receive royalties on sales of product. We anticipate that product sales will constitute the majority of our revenues in the future. Revenues have in the past displayed and will in the immediate future continue to display significant variations due to changes in demand for our products, new product introductions by BTG and its competitors, the obtaining of new research and development contracts and licensing arrangements, the completion or termination of such contracts and arrangements, the timing and amounts of milestone payments, and the timing of regulatory approvals of products.

We believe that our product mix will vary from period to period based on the purchasing patterns of our customers and our focus on: (i) increasing market penetration of our existing products; (ii) expanding into new markets; and (iii) commercializing additional products.
Quarterly fluctuations in sales of OXANDRIN have had a significant impact on our quarterly results of operations. Quarterly sales of OXANDRIN in 1999, 2000 and 2001 are set forth in the following table:

Our sales of OXANDRIN consist of sales to Accredo Health Services, Inc., formerly known as Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (“Accredo”), our wholesale and retail distributor of OXANDRIN in the United States, and the Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories. The decrease in OXANDRIN sales in the second half of 1999 was due to the OXANDRIN inventory reduction that Accredo began in April 1999 as a result of a slowing in the rate of increase in OXANDRIN prescriptions. The increase in OXANDRIN sales in each of the last three quarters of 2000 was due to Accredo’s completion, in May 2000, of this OXANDRIN inventory reduction. The increase in OXANDRIN sales during the first half of 2001 was due to: (i) the commencement, in September 2000, of sales by the Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories for the long-term care market for the treatment of patients with involuntary weight loss, including stocking activity by wholesalers in connection with the launch of this product in the long-term care market; (ii) stocking by certain wholesalers in anticipation of a price increase; (iii) increased purchases by Accredo following its completion, in May 2000, of a reduction in the amount of OXANDRIN inventory it carries, which reduction began in April 1999; and (iv) increased wholesaler sales of OXANDRIN by Accredo.
Upon completion of its inventory reduction in May 2000, Accredo began to purchase, on a monthly basis, an amount of OXANDRIN equal to the average end-user (i.e., wholesaler) sales during the preceding three months. However, because of the significant increase in OXANDRIN purchases by wholesalers in the first quarter of 2001 in anticipation of a price increase and in connection with the launch of OXANDRIN into the long-term care market, Accredo’s purchases of OXANDRIN in the second quarter of 2001 were higher than the levels of its sales of OXANDRIN to wholesalers in that period. As a result, Accredo’s inventory of OXANDRIN increased beyond the desired level. Accordingly, BTG and Accredo amended their distribution arrangement effective August 2001 to provide for reduced purchases of OXANDRIN until Accredo’s inventory was reduced to desired levels and thereafter to ensure that sales of OXANDRIN by BTG to Accredo more accurately reflected end-user demand. As a result, sales of OXANDRIN in the second half of 2001 were $22,008,000 lower than in the first half of 2001 and $8,204,000 lower than in the second half of 2000.
Accredo’s reduction in OXANDRIN inventory adversely affected the growth in BTG’s product sales and revenues and BTG’s results of operations in 1999 and 2000. Reductions in wholesaler purchases of OXANDRIN from Accredo in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2001 and significantly reduced

purchases of OXANDRIN by Accredo in the second half of 2001 adversely affected the growth in BTG’s product sales and revenues and BTG’s results of operations in the second half of 2001. Because purchases by wholesalers fluctuate from month to month and quarter to quarter based on their own operating strategies (including desired levels of inventories, purchases by their customers and stocking in advance of anticipated price increases), BTG’s sales to Accredo and Ross will fluctuate from quarter to quarter. There can be no assurance that Accredo will not determine to further reduce its OXANDRIN inventory levels.
The launch of OXANDRIN in late 2000 by Ross into the long-term sector for the treatment of patients with involuntary weight loss led to a 26.5% increase in prescriptions in 2001 compared to 2000. However, prescriptions in the second half of 2001, although 19.4% higher than in the second half of 2000, were 0.6% below prescriptions in the first half of 2001, due, at least in part, to sales force changes in the long-term care sector. The Ross long-term care field force contingent detailing physicians, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and geriatric hospitals was streamlined in the spring of 2001 in an effort to achieve greater efficiency. BTG believes this may have resulted in a reduction in the number of OXANDRIN calls and details being made. BTG understands that corrective measures have been taken to increase the number of calls and details being made. To date the average prescription written for the long-term care market involves a significantly lower dose of OXANDRIN than the average prescription written for the AIDS market.

Domestic sales as a percentage of total product sales has fluctuated due primarily to a reduction in purchases of OXANDRIN by BTG’s distributor in the U.S. from April 1999 through May 2000 and increased sales of OXANDRIN to BTG’s distributor in the U.S. in the second half of 2000 and the first half of 2001.
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
Revenues. Revenues in 2001 increased 27% to $102,246,000 from $80,257,000 in 2000, which represented a 4% decrease from $83,320,000 in 1999. Product sales increased 40% in 2001 to $87,106,000 from $62,149,000 in 2000, which itself was a 3% increase from 1999 product sales of $60,332,000. The changes in revenues between 1999, 2000 and 2001 were primarily driven by changes in product sales, principally OXANDRIN, and contract fees.
Sales of OXANDRIN in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $47,150,000, $32,187,000, and $22,935,000, respectively, representing 54%, 52% and 38%, respectively, of BTG’s total product sales in those periods. Sales of OXANDRIN to Accredo in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $38,775,000, $30,885,000 and $22,708,000, net, respectively, representing 82%, 96% and 99%, respectively, of BTG’s total sales of OXANDRIN. In 2001 sales of OXANDRIN increased $14,963,000, or 46%, from 2000 sales. Sales of OXANDRIN increased $23,167,000 in the first half of 2001 due to: (i) the commencement, in September 2000, of sales by the Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories for the long-term care market for the treatment of patients with involuntary weight loss, including stocking activity by wholesalers in connection with the launch of this product in the long-term care market; (ii) stocking by certain wholesalers in anticipation of a price increase; (iii) increased purchases by Accredo following its completion, in May 2000, of a reduction in the amount of OXANDRIN inventory it carries, which reduction began in April 1999; and (iv) increased wholesaler sales of OXANDRIN by Accredo. Sales of OXANDRIN in the second half of 2001 decreased $8,204,000 from the comparable period in 2000 due to Accredo’s increased purchases of OXANDRIN in the second half of 2000 following completion of its inventory reduction and decreased purchases in the second half of 2001 to reduce inventory. In 2000 sales of OXANDRIN increased $9,252,000, or 40%, as Accredo completed the reduction in the amount of OXANDRIN inventory it carried in May 2000.

Sales of hGH in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $23,862,000, $20,585,000 and $18,004,000, respectively, representing 27%, 33% and 30%, respectively, of BTG’s total product sales in those periods. Sales of human growth hormone increased in 2001 by $3,277,000, or 16%, over 2000 sales. Sales of human growth hormone increased in 2000 by $2,581,000, or 14%, over 1999 sales. The increase in sales of hGH in 2001 and 2000 was mainly due to increased sales to JCR and Ferring. Sales of hGH to JCR in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $16,292,000, $12,975,000 and $10,507,000, respectively, representing 19%, 21% and 17%, respectively, of BTG’s total product sales in those periods and 68%, 63% and 58%, respectively, of BTG’s total hGH sales in those periods. Sales of hGH to the Ferring Group were approximately $5,889,000, $4,812,000 and $3,619,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing 7%, 8% and 6%, respectively, of BTG’s total product sales in those periods and 25%, 23% and 20%, respectively, of BTG’s total hGH sales in those periods.
Sales of Delatestryl and BioLon increased in 2001 by $4,671,000 and $2,110,000, or 181% and 34%, respectively, from 2000 levels. In 2000 sales of DELATESTRYL and BIOLON decreased $7,523,000 and $2,443,000, or 74% and 29%, respectively, from 1999 levels. We had no sales of DELATESTRYL in the second and third quarters of 2000. DELATESTRYL sales increased substantially in 1999 when the FDA stopped the production of a competing injectable testosterone product used to treat men with hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency). The decrease in sales of DELATESTRYL in 2000 relates to Accredo’s election to reduce its DELATESTRYL inventory in anticipation of the FDA’s again permitting the production of the competing injectable testosterone product. Increased sales of DELATESTRYL in 2001 resulted from the fact that the FDA has yet to approve production of this competing product. The decrease in sales of BIOLON in 2000 was primarily the result of a halt in product shipments to the U.S. beginning in the first quarter of 2000 pending FDA approval of a supplemental application relating to an upgrade in BTG’s manufacturing process to conform it to a higher standard of quality implemented by BTG. BTG resumed shipments to the U.S. in the first quarter of 2001, although shipments again stopped in the fourth quarter of 2001 as the FDA was not able to inspect the new manufacturing facility of BTG’s contract sterilizer for BIOLON due to the violence in Israel until August 2002.
For the year ended December 31, 2001 contract fees were $1,656,000, which represent contract fees received in prior periods but recognized in 2001 in accordance with SAB 101. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, contract fees, which consist of licensing and option to license fees, amounting to $5,542,000 and $14,848,000, or 7% and 18%, respectively, of total revenues, were earned from certain of BTG’s collaborative partners. Of the contract fees earned in 2000, $2,500,000, or 45% of total contract fees, was earned as a milestone payment under BTG’s strategic alliance with Teva focusing on the development and global commercialization of several generic recombinant therapeutic products and the license of distribution rights in the United States for BTG’s hGH, and $1,475,000, or 27% of total contract fees, was earned in respect of the BIO-HEP-B vaccine. Under SAB 101, contract fees in 2000 include $853,000 of contract fees paid in prior periods, or 15% of total contract fees, as well as $313,000, or 6% of total contract fees, of the $5,000,000 received in 2000 in respect of ARTHREASE; the remaining $4,687,000 of this fee has been deferred in accordance with SAB 101. Of the contract fees earned in 1999, $10,000,000, or 67% of total contract fees, was earned in respect of BTG’s strategic alliance with Teva, and $4,197,000, or 28% of total contract fees, was earned in respect of the license of distribution rights for Insulin on a substantially worldwide basis. Approximately $10,114,000 of the contract fees earned in 1999 have been included in the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. On a pro forma basis as if SAB 101 had been in effect since January 1, 1999, contract fees in 1999 would have been $5,270,000, or 7% of total revenues.
Royalties in 2001, 2000 and 1999 consist mainly of net royalties in respect of the MIRCETTE product in the amount of $3,817,000, $3,139,000 and $1,761,000, respectively.
Other revenues consist primarily of funding from the Chief Scientist, which represented 100%, 81% and 89% of other revenues in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Interest income was $7,472,000, $7,496,000 and $4,633,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In 2001 interest income decreased slightly, as the total of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased $646,000 from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001. The decreased cash balances (including short-term investment) resulted mainly from the use of approximately $15,603,000, net to acquire Myelos, the use of approximately $22,098,000 to fund construction of the Company’s new manufacturing facility in 2001 and the use of $5,000,000 to purchase shares of Omrix, partially offset by cash flow from operations, proceeds from the exercise of options and proceeds from a $20,000,000 loan borrowed to finance construction of the Company’s new manufacturing facility in Israel. The increase in interest income in 2000 was derived primarily from an increase in cash balances resulting from option exercises and cash flow from operations in 2000.

Research and Development Expense. Expenditures for research and development were $27,778,000, $25,331,000 and $22,050,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in research and development expenditures in 2001 compared to 2000 resulted mainly from the increase in research and development personnel and legal fees related to patent maintenance and patent interference proceedings, as well as the addition of research and development activities for PROSAPTIDE following the acquisition of Myelos, partially offset by decreased expenses associated with developing alternate manufacturing sources for OXANDRIN and for a new tablet formulation in 2001 compared to 2000 and decreased compensation charges in 2001 compared to 2000 arising from modification of the periods of vesting and exercisability of certain stock option awards to certain employees and former employees made in connection with the termination of their employment and post-employment consulting arrangements. The increase in research and development expenditures in 2000 was mainly due to the increase in research and development personnel and other expenses associated with these additional personnel, increased expenses associated with developing an alternate manufacturing source for OXANDRIN and for a new tablet formulation and compensation costs associated with the modification of stock options discussed above, partially offset by a decreased level of grants by BTG for clinical studies.
Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales was $12,388,000, $9,887,000 and $10,839,000 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales was 14%, 16% and 18% in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cost of product sales in 2001 increased in absolute terms as a result of increased product sales, but decreased as a percentage of product sales, primarily as a result of OXANDRIN accounting for a significant portion of the increase in product sales. Cost of product sales in 2000 decreased, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of revenues, primarily as a result of increased sales of OXANDRIN and decreased sales of DELATESTRYL and BIOLON. OXANDRIN has a relatively low cost of manufacture as a percentage of product sales, while BIOLON has the highest cost to manufacture as a percentage of product sales. Cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales varies from year to year and quarter to quarter depending on the quantity and mix of products sold.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense was $10,291,000, $12,685,000 and $12,141,000 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in 2001 resulted from the amortization of $2,961,000 of negative goodwill resulting from the Myelos acquisition. On a pro forma basis to exclude the effect of the amortization of negative goodwill, general and administrative expense for 2001 was $13,252,000, an increase of 4% from the comparable period in 2000. The increase in general and administrative expense (excluding the effect of the amortization of negative goodwill) was primarily due to increased compensation costs, partially offset by a decrease in legal fees (litigation) as compared to 2000, when legal fees increased primarily due to the reactivation in the fourth quarter of 1998 of the Company’s declaratory judgment action against Genentech in respect of the Company’s human growth hormone product in the United States.
Marketing and Sales Expense. Marketing and sales expense was $17,006,000, $17,614,000 and $16,652,000 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These expenses primarily related to the sales and marketing force in the United States that BTG established principally in the second half of 1995 and during 1996 to promote distribution of OXANDRIN in the United States. The decrease in marketing and sales expense in 2001 compared to last year derived mainly from decreased advertising, promotional and market research activities, partially offset by increased compensation costs. The increase in 2000 was primarily due to additional marketing and sales expenses, primarily resulting from increased personnel and increased advertising, promotional and market research activities, arising from the growth of BTG’s product sales.
Commissions and Royalties. Commissions and royalties were $1,975,000, $1,879,000 and $3,221,000 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These expenses consist primarily of royalties to entities from which BTG licensed certain of its products and to the Chief Scientist. Commissions and royalties in 1999 included $1,485,000, net of commissions received in respect of Serono’s sales of its human growth hormone to Accredo, which commissions we subsequently refunded because Accredo was unable to sell most of Serono’s human growth hormone product before it expired.
Realized and Unrealized Loss on Investment and Other Financing Expense. In 2001 we recognized realized and unrealized capital losses of $9,231,000 on short-term investments that were liquidated in December 2001 and January 2002. Since January 1, 1996, we earned in excess of $20,000,000 on these investments. During the fourth quarter of 2001, we determined that the decline in the value of our investment in Omrix was other than temporary and, accordingly, wrote-down the value of this $5,000,000 investment by $3,000,000 based on management’s evaluation of current market conditions and Omrix’s operations and forecasts.
15
Write-off of In-Process Research and Development Acquired. In 2001 BTG wrote-off $45,600,000 as in-process research and development acquired relating to the acquisition of Myelos Corporation. In connection with the acquisition BTG allocated $45,600,000 to in-process research and development projects of Myelos, representing the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows of the acquired technology based on an independent valuation. At the date of the merger the technology acquired in the acquisition was not fully commercially developed and had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, the value was expensed as of the acquisition date.
Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $4,733,000, $3,798,000 and $4,821,000, respectively, representing approximately 27.1% (on a pro forma basis excluding the write-off of in-process research and development acquired and amortization of negative goodwill, which are not taken into account in computing income taxes), 29.8% and 26.4% of income before income taxes. BTG’s consolidated tax rate differs from the statutory rate because of Israeli tax benefits, research and experimental tax credits, state and local taxes and similar items that affect the tax rate. In 2001 BTG recorded a provision for additional taxes as a result of a tax audit that BTG-Israel was undergoing covering the 1997 through 2000 tax years. The tax audit was settled in the second quarter of 2002, and an additional $320,000 of tax was accrued at that time.
Earnings per Common Share. BTG had approximately 2.9 million additional basic weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increased number of basic shares was primarily the result of the issuance in 2001 of shares upon the exercise of options and the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares to the former shareholders of Myelos in March 2001. For 2001 diluted weighted average shares outstanding does not include dilutive securities because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
On a pro-forma basis, excluding the write-off of in-process research and development acquired, amortization of negative goodwill, the realization of capital losses on short-term investments and the partial write-off of the Omrix investment, net income would have been $20,430,000, or $0.36 per share and $0.35 per share, respectively, on a basic and diluted share basis. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding would have been 58,528,000, an increase of approximately 1.3 million shares from 2000, primarily as a result of the higher basic weighted average shares outstanding for 2001, partially offset by the fact that less outstanding options were considered common equivalents because their exercise price was above the average fair market value of the common stock for 2001, which average fair market value was lower than in the same period last year.
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle. Effective January 1, 2000, BTG adopted SAB 101. As a result of adopting SAB 101, BTG changed the way it recognizes revenue from contract fees for the license of marketing and distribution rights where the consideration is a one-time nonrefundable payment. Prior to the issuance of SAB 101, BTG recorded revenue from the license of marketing and distribution rights when the rights were licensed and/or when these payments were received. Effective January 1, 2000, BTG recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to contract revenues recognized in prior years in the amount of $12,558,000, net of income taxes of $4,380,000, of which $853,000 was recognized as contract fee revenue in 2000. The related revenues are now being recognized over the estimated term of the related agreements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital at December 31, 2001, was $139,472,000 as compared to $154,089,000 at December 31, 2000. The decrease in working capital at December 31, 2001 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable as BTG shortened the average terms of payment to its customers.
Our cash flows have fluctuated significantly due to the impact of net income, capital spending, working capital requirements, the issuance of common stock and other financing activities. BTG expects that cash flows in the near future will be primarily determined by the levels of net income, working capital requirements and financings, if any, undertaken by BTG. Net cash increased by $49,098,000, $7,650,000, and $9,272,000 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The large increase in 2001 was primarily due to the sale of short-term investments.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $37,760,000, $15,267,000 and $46,405,000 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net (loss) income was $(29,926,000), $765,000 and $13,408,000 in the same periods, respectively. In 2001 we had net cash provided by operating activities despite the net loss, mainly due to the write-off of in-process research and development acquired of
16
$45,600,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $14,572,000, an unrealized loss on investments, net of $8,963,000, an increase in accounts payable of $5,178,000, depreciation and amortization of $2,937,000, a realized loss on the sale of short-term investments, net of $1,735,000, and compensation expense of $1,024,000 resulting from the modification of options previously granted, partially offset by an increase in inventories of $3,875,000, an increase in deferred income tax of $3,957,000, amortization of negative goodwill of $2,961,000 and deferred revenues of $1,656,000. In 2000 net cash provided by operating activities was greater than net income, mainly due to the cumulative effect of the accounting change resulting from the adoption of SAB 101 of $8,178,000 (net of income taxes), deferred revenues of $3,834,000, depreciation and amortization of $2,861,000 and compensation expense of $1,592,000 resulting from the modification of options previously granted, partially offset by an increase in inventories and accounts receivable of $1,256,000 and $973,000, respectively. In 1999 net cash provided by operating activities was greater than net income, mainly due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $30,260,000, depreciation and amortization of $3,014,000 and an increase of accounts payable of $2,343,000, partially offset by an increase in inventories of $5,925,000.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $3,651,000, $(37,401,000) and $(44,145,000) in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities included capital expenditures of $23,974,000, $10,913,000 and $11,432,000 in these periods, respectively, consisting of approximately $21,758,000, $8,950,000 and $9,517,000, respectively, for the purchase and reconstruction of a new manufacturing facility, with the remainder in all periods primarily for laboratory and manufacturing equipment and infrastructure. In 2001, net cash used in investing activities also includes the $5,000,000 investment in Omrix and $15,603,000, net used in connection with the acquisition of Myelos. The remainder of the net cash used in investing activities, in all periods, was primarily for purchases and sales of short-term investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,687,000, $29,784,000 and $7,012,000 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash flows from financing activities in 2000 were primarily affected by long-term borrowings of $20,000,000 and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $9,784,000. Cash flows from financing activities in 2001 and 1999 were primarily affected by net proceeds from issuances of common stock of $7,686,000 and $7,012,000, respectively, in these periods. Net proceeds from the sale of common stock resulted mainly from option exercises.
In April 1999, BTG purchased a manufacturing facility in Israel for approximately $6,250,000. Construction of a modern production facility meeting FDA GMP requirements for drugs, biologics and devices was completed at the end of 2001, and validation has commenced and is expected to be completed toward the end of 2002. BTG will then commence the process validation for products manufactured in the existing facility to be transferred to the new facility. Production of BTG’s products cannot be relocated to the new facility until the new facility has received all necessary regulatory approvals, which BTG anticipates will occur by the end of 2003. We expect it will cost approximately $40,000,000 to complete the production facility (excluding the cost of purchasing the facility), of which approximately $33,975,000 had been expended through December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, BTG had outstanding commitments of $4,467,000 related to completion of this facility. In addition, BTG has agreed to purchase additional property adjacent to the new manufacturing facility for approximately $1,200,000, of which approximately $400,000 has been paid to date. This property will allow BTG to locate its principal research and development activities adjacent to our new manufacturing facility.
In June 2000 BTG-Israel entered into a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility with Bank Hapoalim B.M. to finance a portion of the cost of completing its new manufacturing facility. Short-term borrowings under the facility are due 12 months from the date of borrowing and long-term borrowings are due five years from the date of borrowing. Loans under the facility bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.5% in the case of short-term borrowings and LIBOR plus 1% in the case of long-term borrowings. Amounts repaid under the facility can be reborrowed. The credit facility is secured by the assets of BTG-Israel and has been guaranteed by BTG. At December 31, 2001, BTG had outstanding long-term borrowings of $20,000,000 under the facility.
On September 20, 2002, we agreed to acquire Rosemont Pharmaceuticals, Limited, a leader in the UK market for oral formulations of branded non-proprietary drugs. The purchase price of £64,000,000, or approximately $99,100,000 (£61,000,000 or approximately $95,000,000 net of Rosemont's anticipated cash balances on closing), will be paid out of BTG's available cash resources. The acquisition is expected to close by September 30, 2002. In connection with the acquisition, BTG entered into a forward contract for the delivery of £64,000,000 on September 30, 2002 at a cost of $99,123,200 (representing an exchange rate of $1.5488 per £1).
We currently maintain our funds in commercial paper, money market funds and other liquid debt instruments. See Note 1c and 1d of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
BTG manages its Israeli operations with the objective of protecting against any material net financial loss in U.S. dollars from the impact of Israeli inflation and currency devaluations on its non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities. The cost of BTG’s operations in Israel, as expressed in dollars, is influenced by the extent to which any increase in the rate of inflation in Israel is not offset (or is offset on a lagging basis) by a devaluation
17
of the Israeli Shekel in relation to the U.S. dollar. The rate of inflation (as measured by the consumer price index in Israel) was approximately 1% in 1999, while the Shekel was devalued by less than 1%. In 2000 there was no change in the consumer price index and the Shekel’s value in relation to the U.S. dollar increased by approximately 3%. In 2001 the inflation rate was approximately 1% while the Shekel was devalued by 9%. As a result, for those expenses linked to the Israeli Shekel, such as salaries and rent, this resulted in corresponding increases in these costs in U.S. dollar terms in 1999 and 2000. However, in 2001, for those expenses this resulted in corresponding decreases in these costs in U.S. dollar terms. To the extent that expenses in Shekels exceed BTG’s revenues in Shekels (which to date have consisted primarily of research funding from the Chief Scientist and product sales in Israel), the devaluations of Israeli currency have been and will continue to be a benefit to BTG’s financial condition. However, should BTG’s revenues in Shekels exceed its expenses in Shekels in any material respect, the devaluation of the Shekel will adversely affect BTG’s financial condition. Further, to the extent the devaluation of the Shekel with respect to the U.S. dollar does not substantially offset the increase in the costs of local goods and services in Israel, BTG’s financial results will be adversely affected as local expenses measured in U.S. dollars will increase.
We believe that our cash resources as of December 31, 2001, together with anticipated product sales and continued funding from the Chief Scientist at current levels will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations for the foreseeable future. There can, however, be no assurance that product sales will occur as anticipated, that current agreements with third party distributors of our products will not be canceled, that the Chief Scientist will continue to provide funding at current levels, that we will not use a substantial portion of our cash resources to acquire businesses, products and/or technologies, or that unanticipated events requiring the expenditure of funds will not occur. The satisfaction of BTG’s future cash requirements will depend in large part on the status of commercialization of BTG’s products, BTG’s ability to enter into additional research and development and licensing arrangements, and BTG’s ability to obtain additional equity and debt financing, if necessary. There can be no assurance that BTG will be able to obtain additional funds or, if such funds are available, that such funding will be on favorable terms. BTG continues to seek additional collaborative research and development and licensing arrangements, in order to provide revenue from sales of certain products and funding for a portion of the research and development expenses relating to the products covered, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such agreements. See “Item 1. Business—Risk Factors —We may be unable to obtain any additional capital needed to operate and grow our business” and “—We expect our quarterly results to fluctuate, which may cause volatility in our stock price.”

(1) BTG’s lease of its headquarters in the United States expires in October 2003. The table does not reflect BTG's lease of new U.S. headquarters' space, entered into in June 2002. The new lease provides for an average annual rent of $444,000 and expires in June 2012.
(2) Consists of commitments relating to the construction of BTG’s new manufacturing facility in Israel.
(3) Consists of severance benefits payable under Israeli law. Because these benefits are paid only upon termination of employment, it is not possible to allocate the liability across future years.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB approved SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 entitled “Business Combinations” and “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, respectively. SFAS No. 141, among other things, eliminates the pooling of interests method of accounting for business acquisitions entered into after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires companies to use a fair-value approach to determine whether there is an impairment of existing and future goodwill. SFAS No. 141 is applied to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, beginning in 2002 we will no longer amortize the negative goodwill resulting from the Myelos acquisition, which reduced general and administrative expense by approximately $1,000,000 per quarter for financial reporting purposes. Under SFAS No. 142, the negative goodwill balance of $15,953,000 remaining at December 31, 2001 will be maintained on the Balance Sheet as a deferred credit until it is either netted against the contingent payments, if any, made to the former Myelos shareholders or reflected in net income as an extraordinary item should the contingent payments not become due. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 had no impact on BTG’s consolidated financial statements. The only impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on BTG’s consolidated financial statements is that the negative goodwill recorded in connection with the Myelos acquisition will no longer be amortized. The amortization of negative goodwill during 2001 reduced our reported general and administrative expense.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We are currently assessing the impact of this new standard, although we do not expect it to affect our results of operations.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets. We are currently assessing the impact of this new standard, although we do not expect it to affect our results of operations.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. To date our exposure to market risk has been limited. Other than one foreign currency exchange rate hedge, we do not currently hedge any market risk, although we may do so in the future. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. In early 2002, BTG purchased forward contracts in the amount of $3,000,000 to hedge part of its commitments in Israeli Shekels, primarily salaries, by locking in the Shekel/U.S. Dollar exchange rate, which had become more volatile in recent months. All of these contracts matured by July 1, 2002.
Our obligations under our $20,000,000 revolving credit facility bear interest at floating rates and, therefore, we are impacted by changes in prevailing interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates on the $20,000,000 outstanding under this facility at December 31, 2001 would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of $200,000. Because these borrowings relate to the construction of our new facility, which is not yet ready for its intended use, interest expense is currently being capitalized.
Our material interest bearing assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and short–term investments, which currently consist primarily today of investments in commercial paper and time deposits. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates, primarily U.S. interest rates and other market conditions.
As discussed above under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we manage our Israeli operations with the objective of protecting against any material net financial loss in U.S. dollars from the impact of Israeli inflation and currency devaluations on its non–U.S. dollar assets and liabilities. All of BTG’s revenues are in U.S. dollars except for payments from the Chief Scientist and sales of our products in Israel, which are denominated in Israeli Shekels.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bio-Technology General Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bio-Technology General Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bio-Technology General Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1k to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of revenue recognition for certain up-front nonrefundable fees in 2000.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, which consolidated financial statements were previously audited by other independent auditors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Bio–Technology General Corp. (“BTG”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bio-Technology General (Israel) Ltd. (“BTG-Israel”), were formed in 1980 to research, develop, manufacture and market products through the application of genetic engineering and related biotechnologies.
a. Basis of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BTG, BTG-Israel and Myelos Corporation (“Myelos”), hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
b. Translation of foreign currency:
The functional currency of BTG-Israel is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, its accounts are remeasured in dollars, and translation gains and losses (which are immaterial) are included in the statements of operations.
c. Cash and cash equivalents:
At December 31, 2000 and 2001, cash and cash equivalents included cash of $9,504,000 and $4,334,000, respectively, and money market funds, commercial paper and other liquid short–term debt instruments (with maturities at date of purchase of ninety days or less) of $16,849,000 and $71,117,000, respectively.
d. Short-term investments:
(i) Short-term investments, which are carried at fair value, consist primarily of investments in mutual funds and at December 31, 2000 consist also of U.S. Treasury and corporate bonds that have been classified as “available-for-sale securities” pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Unrealized holding gains and losses, which are deemed to be temporary, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of an available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary is recognized as a charge in the consolidated statement of operations and a new cost basis for the security is established.
At December 31, 2001, management determined that the decline in investment value is other than temporary and, accordingly, cost has been adjusted to reflect market value and a loss on impairment of investment of $7,193,000 was recognized and included in the statement of operations.
At December 31, 2000 and 2001, the cost of the securities available for sale was $99,180,000 and $40,642,000, respectively. Gross realized and unrealized losses included in income for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $9,231,000. There were no realized losses in 1999 and 2000.
(ii) Cost basis investment included within other assets represents an equity investment of less than 20% in a private entity. Changes in the value of this investment are not recognized unless an impairment is deemed to be other than temporary.
e. Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the weighted average method. At December 31, 2000 and 2001, inventories include raw materials of $1,324,000 and $1,706,000, work-in-process of $1,499,000 and $1,137,000, and finished goods of $7,442,000 and $11,297,000, respectively.
27
f. Long-term accounts receivable — trade:
As of December 31, 2000, long-term accounts receivable — trade consists of amounts owed to the Company by one customer for which collection was expected in part by December 31, 2001 and for the remainder by December 31, 2002. The amount does not bear interest and as such a discount has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The $500,000 due by December 31, 2001 was received, and the amount due by December 31, 2002 is included in current assets.
g. Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation has been calculated using the straight–line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 17 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases, which are shorter than the useful life. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.
Land, building and construction-in-progress represents building under construction and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction under the construction contracts, plant and equipment, capitalized interest, labor and other direct costs. Capitalized interest is included under the provision of SFAS No. 34 and totaled approximately $339,000 and $1,378,000 at December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.
h. Intangibles:
Intangibles consist of repurchased rights to one of the Company’s products previously licensed to a third party, and are amortized, using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the related revenue stream or seven years, commencing with the initial sale of the related product.
i. Patents:
Patent costs related to products approved by any regulatory agency worldwide or being sold have been capitalized. Amortization has been calculated using the straight-line method over 17 years commencing on the date of grant with respect to each project.
j. Long-lived assets:
The Company’s policy is to record long-lived assets at cost, amortizing these costs over the expected useful lives of related assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, these assets are reviewed on a periodic basis for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Management of the Company believes that no such event or change has occurred.
k. Revenue recognition:
Product sales are recognized when the product is shipped and collectability is probable.
Contract fees consist mainly of license of marketing and distribution rights and research and development projects. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 (“SAB 101”) issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 1999. As a result of adopting SAB 101, the Company changed the way it recognizes revenue for up-front nonrefundable contract fees for the license of marketing and distribution rights. Prior to the issuance of SAB 101, the Company recorded revenue from the license of marketing and distribution rights when the rights were licensed and/or when these payments were received. In accordance with SAB 101, the related revenues are now being recognized over the estimated term of the related agreements. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of
28
change in accounting principle related to contract revenues recognized in prior years in the amount of $12,558,000, net of income taxes of $4,380,000, of which $853,000 and $1,156,000 was recognized as contract fee revenue in 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Revenue related to performance milestones is recognized based upon the achievement of the milestone, as defined in the respective agreements, and when collectability is probable. Advance payments received in excess of amounts earned are included in deferred revenue.
Royalties are recognized once agreement exists, the sale is made and the royalty is earned.
Other revenues represent funds received by the Company for research and development projects that are partially funded by collaborative partners and the Chief Scientist of the State of Israel, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue upon performance of such funded research. In general, these contracts are cancelable by the Company’s collaborative partners at any time.
The pro forma results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1999 have been prepared as if the Company adopted SAB 101 prior to January 1, 1999.
l. Stock-based compensation:
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”. As permitted under SFAS 123, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. The Company has provided the necessary pro forma disclosure as if the fair value method has been applied. (See note 9.) Under APB 25, when the exercise price of employee stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded.
m. Research and development:
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
n. Income taxes:
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying the enacted statutory tax rates to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
BTG-Israel files separate income tax returns and provides for taxes under Israeli regulations.
o. Other comprehensive income (loss):
Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities.
p. Earnings per common share:
Net earnings per common share amounts (“basic EPS”) are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and exclude any potential dilution. Net earnings per common share amounts assuming dilution (“diluted EPS”) are computed by reflecting potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and warrants.
A reconciliation between the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for net earnings is as follows:

Options to purchase 697,000 and 732,000 shares of common stock out of the total number of options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively, are not included in the computation of diluted EPS because of their anti-dilutive effect. In 2001 all options outstanding as of December 31, 2001 are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because of their anti-dilutive effect.
q. Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to investments, accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, intangible assets and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions.
r. Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the long–term debt approximates fair value as the borrowing rates are variable and are currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities.
s. Concentration of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its short-term investments with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is discussed in Note 13. Generally, the Company does not require collateral from its customers; however, collateral or other security for accounts receivable may be obtained in certain circumstances when considered necessary.
t. New accounting pronouncements:
In June 2001, the FASB approved SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 entitled “Business Combinations” and “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, respectively. SFAS No. 141, among other things, eliminates the pooling of interests method of accounting for business acquisitions entered into after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires companies to use a fair-value approach to determine whether there is an impairment of existing and future goodwill. SFAS No. 141 is applied to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, beginning in 2002 the Company will no longer amortize the negative goodwill resulting from the Myelos acquisition, which reduced general and administrative expense by approximately $1,000,000 per quarter for financial reporting purposes. Under SFAS No. 142, the negative goodwill balance of $15,953,000 remaining at December 31, 2001 will be maintained on the Balance Sheet as a deferred credit until it is either netted against the contingent payments, if any, made to the former Myelos shareholders or reflected in net income as an extraordinary item should the contingent payments not become due. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard, although it does not expect it to affect its results of operations.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a
31
single accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard, although it does not expect it to affect its results of operations.
NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has determined to restate its financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The principal adjustments are discussed below.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include expenses of $680,000 in 1999, $1,379,000 in 2000 and $1,058,000 in 2001 for development and start-up costs associated with establishing alternate manufacturing sources for its approved drug Oxandrin and for a new tablet formulation, which costs were originally capitalized within other long-term assets. These adjustments are included as a component of research and development in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
In 1999 the Company wrote off $1,894,000 of manufacturing development costs associated with a product under development, which costs were originally capitalized, when it terminated research on this product. These costs have now been expensed in the year incurred as a component of research and development in accordance with SFAS No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs. The accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to eliminate the effect of this write-off from the 1999 consolidated statements of operations and to adjust the accumulated deficit as of December 31, 1998 to write off this cost, net of tax effect.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect compensation charges of $318,000 in 1999, $1,592,000 in 2000 and $1,024,000 in 2001, arising from modification of the period of vesting and exercisability of certain stock option awards to certain employees and former employees made in connection with the termination of their employment and post-employment consulting arrangements, which expense should have been recognized at the time of the modification as a component of research and development and marketing and sales in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations and SFAS No. 123 and related interpretations. Additionally, additional paid-in-capital and accumulated deficit as of December 31, 1998 have each been increased by $2,209,000 to reflect the effect of stock option modifications prior to 1999.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to reverse the effect of a 1999 product sale, and the subsequent inventories repurchase in 2001, to a distributor of $2,000,000 and the related cost of goods sold of $385,000 from the 1999 consolidated financial statements because of significant uncertainties concerning the realization of the invoiced amount at the time of sale.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to defer in accordance with the Company's policy under SAB 101 and amortize over the estimated term of 10 years a $5,000,000 up-front contract fee related to a development and distribution agreement that was originally recognized in its entirety as revenue in 2000. The Company originally considered this to represent a milestone payment. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include contract fee revenue from this contract of $313,000 in 2000 and $500,000 in 2001.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the reestablishment of $844,000 of property and equipment received in connection with Myelos acquisition that was previously written off against negative goodwill and subsequent depreciation and amortization of such assets totalling $229,000 and additional amortization of negative goodwill of $138,000 in 2001. The depreciation and amortization of the Myelos assets are included as a component of research and development in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The recognition of the additional amortization of negative goodwill is included as a reduction of general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations.

As a result of the above adjustments, the Company’s December 31, 1998 additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit changed from the previously reported amounts of $161,164,000 and $(36,396,000) to $163,373,000 and $(39,817,000), respectively.
NOTE 3 – SEVERANCE PAY
BTG-Israel participates in a defined contribution pension plan and makes regular deposits with a pension fund to secure pension rights on behalf of some of its employees. The custody and management of the amounts so deposited are independent of the Company and accordingly such amounts funded (included in expenses on an accrual basis) and related liabilities are not reflected in the balance sheets. The Company’s obligation for severance pay, in addition to the amount funded, is included within long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In respect of its other employees, BTG-Israel purchases individual insurance policies intended to cover its severance obligations. The amount funded in the insurance policy and its obligation for severance pay to those employees is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as severance pay funded and severance pay, respectively.
33
The liability of the Company for severance pay is calculated on the basis of the latest salary paid to its employees and the length of time they have worked for the Company. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited, including accumulated income thereon, as well as by the unfunded liability.
The expense related to severance and pension pay for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, was $1,039,000, $1,434,000 and $1,648,000, respectively.

(1) The related asset, which is a production facility in Israel intended to meet FDA GMP requirements, is not ready for its intended use and therefore no depreciation and amortization has been accumulated as of December 31, 2001. Includes $2,815,000 and $717,000 of capitalized interest, labor and other costs as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Products which the Company intends to manufacture at this facility cannot be shipped into the United States until the FDA has inspected and approved this facility. As a result of the current violence is Israel, the FDA has for one period of time suspended its inspections in Israel. This balance includes $6,250,000 of land costs associated with this facility.
(2) At December 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding commitments of $4,467,000 related to completion of the construction in progress of its new facility.
Depreciation expense was approximately $1,896,000, $1,982,000 and $2,295,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS
(a) Acquisition of Myelos Corporation.
On March 19, 2001, the Company acquired Myelos Corporation, a privately-held biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapeutics to treat diseases of the nervous system. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid Myelos shareholders $35,000,000 in a combination of cash and stock ($14,000,000 in cash and $21,000,000 through the issuance of approximately 2,344,700 shares of the Company’s common stock (based on a value of $8.9564, representing the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading day period ending one day prior to February 21, 2001, the date the acquisition agreement was executed)). In addition, the Company has agreed to pay the Myelos shareholders an additional $30,000,000 if the Company is able to file a New Drug Application with respect to Prosaptide to treat neuropathic pain or neuropathy, of which at least $14,000,000 will be paid through the issuance of shares of Company common stock. The remaining $16,000,000 can be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash, shares of Company common stock or a combination thereof. The Company has also agreed that if Prosaptide is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of neuropathic pain or neuropathy, the Company will pay the Myelos shareholders 15% of net sales of Prosaptide during the 12 month period beginning on the earlier of (i) the 25th full month after commercial introduction of Prosaptide in the United States for the treatment of neuropathic pain or neuropathy and (ii) April 1, 2010. At least 50% of this payment must be in shares of Company common stock, with the remainder payable, at the Company’s option,
34
in cash, shares of Company common stock or a combination thereof. In no event is the Company required to issue more than 10,962,000 shares of its common stock; any equity required to be issued in excess of that amount will be issued in shares of Company preferred stock. The preferred stock would be non-voting, non-convertible, non-transferable, non-dividend paying (except to the extent a cash dividend is paid on the Company common stock), with no mandatory redemption for a period of 20 years and one day from the closing date of the acquisition, and a right to share in proceeds in liquidation, up to the liquidation amount.
The transaction was treated as a “purchase” for accounting purposes. The purchase price for accounting purposes is approximately $34,387,000 (including acquisition costs of $1,387,000), based on a value for the approximately 2,344,700 shares of Company common stock issued in the acquisition of $8.1172, representing the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the four day period preceding the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed to (February 21, 2001). In connection with the merger and based on an independent valuation, the Company allocated $45,600,000 to in-process research and development projects of Myelos, representing the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows of the acquired technology. At the date of the merger the technology acquired in the acquisition was not fully commercially developed and had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, the value was expensed as of the acquisition date. The Company recorded negative goodwill of $18,914,000 on its balance sheet, primarily because the amount written off as in-process research and development acquired exceeded the purchase price for accounting purposes. This negative goodwill is being amortized over its expected useful life of five years. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, amortization of the negative goodwill will cease beginning January 1, 2002, and the balance remaining will be maintained as a deferred credit until it is either netted against the contingent payments or reflected in net income as an extraordinary item should the contingent payments not become due because the technology did not meet the milestones which trigger payment.
The Company allocated values to the in-process research and development based on an independent valuation of the research and development project. The value assigned to these assets was determined by estimating the costs to develop the acquired technology into a commercially viable product, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the product, and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The revenue projection used to value the in-process research and development was based on estimates of relevant market size and growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by the Company and its competitors. The resulting net cash flows from such product are based on management’s estimates of cost of sales, operating expenses and income taxes from such product. The Company believes that the assumptions used in the forecasts were reasonable at the time of the merger. No assurance can be given, however, that the underlying assumptions used to estimate sales, development costs or profitability, or the events associated with such product, will transpire as estimated. For these reasons, actual results may vary from projected results. The most significant and uncertain assumptions relating to the in-process research and development relate to the ability to successfully develop a product and the projected timing of completion of, and revenues attributable to, that product.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 were prepared assuming the acquisition of Myelos occurred on January 1, 2000 (excluding the effect of the write-off of in-process research and development). The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results which actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of the year presented, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

(b) Investment in Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
In January 2001, in order to obtain a period of exclusivity to negotiate a possible strategic relationship with Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., the Company loaned $2,500,000 to Omrix and agreed to convert the loan into, and to purchase an additional $2,500,000 of, shares of Omrix preferred stock if it did not pursue a relationship. The Company determined not to pursue a strategic relationship with Omrix, and on March 31, 2001 converted the existing loan into, and purchased an additional $2,500,000 of, shares of Omrix preferred stock, which is convertible into approximately 4.5% of Omrix common stock (on a fully-diluted basis). This investment is carried at cost and is included as a component of other long-term assets. Omrix is a privately-held company that develops and markets a unique surgical sealant and a number of immunology products based on blood plasma processing technology. Omrix currently sells its products in Europe, South America and the Middle East.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company determined that the decline in the value of its investment in Omrix was other than temporary and, accordingly, wrote-down the value of this investment by $3,000,000 based on management’s evaluation of current market conditions and Omrix’s operations and forecasts.
NOTE 6 – LONG-TERM DEBT
In June 2000 the Company entered into a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility with Bank Hapoalim B.M. to finance a portion of the cost of completing its new production facility. Short-term borrowings under the facility are due 12 months from the date of borrowing and long-term borrowings are due between two and five years from the date of borrowing. Loans under the facility bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.5% in the case of short-term borrowings and LIBOR plus 1% in the case of long-term borrowings. Amounts repaid under the facility can be reborrowed. The credit facility is secured by the assets of BTG-Israel and has been guaranteed by the Company. At December 31, 2001 the Company had long-term borrowings of $20,000,000 outstanding under the facility, of which $1,111,000 is included in current portion of long-term debt. At December 31, 2001, the loans are at an average interest rate of approximately 3.5% and the principal is payable as follows: in 2002 - $1,111,000; in 2003 - $6,667,000; in 2004 - $6,667,000 and in 2005 - $5,555,000.
NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the Company issued 1,087,000 shares, 1,223,000 shares and 873,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and received proceeds of $5,689,000, $7,915,000 and $5,760,000, respectively.
In 1998 the Company adopted a stockholder rights plan intended to deter hostile or coercive attempts to acquire the Company. Under the plan, if any person or group acquires more than 20% of the Company’s common stock without approval of the Board of Directors under specified circumstances, the Company’s other stockholders have the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, or shares of the acquiring
36
company, at a substantial discount to the public market price. The stockholder rights plan is intended to ensure fair value to all stockholders in the event of an unsolicited takeover offer.
NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
(a) Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In April 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “1998 ESPP”). The 1998 ESPP is qualified as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1998 ESPP is 3,000,000 shares.
All full–time employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the 1998 ESPP. From time to time, the Board of Directors may fix a date or a series of dates on which the Company will grant rights to purchase shares of common stock under the 1998 ESPP (“Rights”) at prices not less than 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant of such Rights or (ii) the fair market value of the shares on the date such Rights are exercised. Rights granted under the 1998 ESPP will run for a maximum of 27 months. No employee may be granted a Right that permits such employee to purchase shares under the 1998 ESPP having a fair market value that exceeds $25,000 (determined at the time such Right is granted) for each calendar year in which such Right is outstanding, and no Right granted to any participating employee may cover more than 12,000 shares. In 1999, 2000 and 2001 the Company issued 251,000 shares, 339,000 shares and 268,000 shares, respectively, of common stock under the 1998 ESPP.
(b) 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan
The Company also has a 401(k) profit-sharing plan. As of December 31, 2001, the 401(k) plan permits employees who meet the age and service requirements to contribute up to $10,500 of their total compensation on a pretax basis, which is matched 50% by the Company. The Company’s contribution to the plan amounted to approximately $391,000 and $348,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
NOTE 9 – STOCK OPTIONS
In 1992 the Company adopted the Bio-Technology General Corp. 1992 Stock Option Plan (the “1992 Stock Option Plan”). The 1992 Stock Option Plan permits the granting of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to key employees (including employees who are directors) and consultants of the Company. Under the 1992 Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant either incentive stock options, at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, or non-qualified stock options, at an exercise price not less than the par value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options generally become exercisable ratably over two or four-year periods, with unexercised options expiring after the earlier of 10 years or shortly after termination of employment. Terminated options are available for reissuance.
In 2001 the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Stock Option Plan”). The 2001 Stock Option Plan permits the granting of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees (including employees who are directors) and consultants of the Company. Under the 2001 Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant either incentive stock options, at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, or non-qualified stock options, at an exercise price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Options generally become exercisable ratably over two or four-year periods, with unexercised options expiring after the earlier of 10 years or shortly after termination of employment. Terminated options are available for reissuance. Under this plan, 9,283,000 shares remain available for future grant.
The Company also established a Stock Option Plan for New Directors (the “New Director Plan”) that, upon an individual’s initial election or appointment to the Board of Directors, provides for the grant of an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options become exercisable over a three–year period.
In June 1997 the Company adopted the Bio-Technology General Corp. 1997 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Directors Plan”). The Directors Plan provides that each non-employee director
37
will automatically receive an option to purchase 7,500 shares of the Company’s common stock on each date such person is re-elected a director of the Company. The exercise price of each option is equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options become exercisable over a three-year period. An aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock has been reserved for issuance under the Directors Plan. The Board of Directors terminated the Directors Plan in February 2002, and instead provided that each non-employee director would receive under the 2001 Stock Option Plan an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of each quarter, commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The exercise price of each option is equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and options become fully exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
The Company accounts for all plans under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized as all options granted during 1999, 2000 and 2001 were granted at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. Had compensation cost for these plans and the Company’s 1998 ESPP been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and EPS would have been reduced as follows:

Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1999, 2000 and 2001: (i) expected life of option of seven years; (ii) dividend yield of 0%; (iii) expected volatility of 58%, 59% and 62%; and (iv) risk-free interest rate of 5.66%, 5.62% and 3.50%, respectively.
Transactions under the Plan, the 1992 Stock Option Plan, the 2001 Stock Option Plan, the New Director Plan and the Directors Plan during 1999, 2000 and 2001 were as follows:

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
a. The Company has leased approximately 23,000 square feet of office space in New Jersey for its executive office, having an average annual rental expense of approximately $415,000. The lease expires in October 2003. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay its proportional share of any annual increase in taxes and operating expenses. The Company also leases approximately 2,000 square feet in New York City, primarily for its investor and public relations activities, having an average annual rental expense of $100,000 and expiring in September 2003. Myelos leases approximately 10,000 square feet in San Diego, California, having an average annual rental expense of $104,000 and expiring in October 2004. BTG-Israel currently leases approximately 95,000 square feet of space for its research, development and production facilities in Israel, having an average annual rental expense of $1,112,000. The lease of substantially all of this space will expire in December 2002; the lease for the remainder of the space will expire in December 2003.
In June 2002, the Company entered into a new lease for approximately 53,000 square feet of office space for its headquarters in New Jersey, having an average annual rental expense of $444,000 and expiring in June 2012. In connection with this lease arrangement, the Company was required to provide a security deposit by way of an irrevocable letter of credit for $1,280,000.
Rent expense was approximately $1,679,000, $1,787,000 and $1,830,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
The future annual minimum rentals (exclusive of amounts for real estate taxes, maintenance, etc. and the new lease signed in June 2002) for each of the next three years are as follows: 2002—$1,728,000; 2003—$582,000; and 2004—$589,000. There is also a bank guarantee outstanding in favor of the lessor of the Israeli facility for $720,000 secured by the assets of BTG-Israel.
b. The Company is obligated, for products resulting from research and development projects partially funded by the Chief Scientist, to pay royalties to the Israeli government of 3%-5% on commercial sales, if any, of these products if produced in Israel up to the amount so funded, or royalties of 4%-6% if produced outside Israel up to 120%-300% of the amount so funded. As of December 31, 2001, the Company is obligated to repay to the Chief Scientist, out of revenue from future product sales, a minimum of $7,752,000 of research and development funding for products that are currently being sold and a minimum of $6,502,000 of research and development funding for products currently under development if these products will be sold. During the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the Company accrued approximately $353,000, $529,000 and $304,000, respectively, as royalties to the Chief Scientist.
The Company is also committed to pay royalties on future sales, if any, of certain of its products to licensees from which the Company licensed these products.
c. At December 31, 2001, the Company had employment agreements with seven senior officers. Under these agreements, the Company has committed to total aggregate base compensation per year of approximately $1,950,000 plus other normal customary fringe benefits and bonuses. These employment agreements generally have a term of three years and are automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal.
d. The Company has received notification of claims filed against certain of its patents in the normal course of operations. Management believes that these claims have no merit, and the Company intends to defend them vigorously and does not expect significant adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of the outcome. However, were an unfavorable ruling to occur in any quarterly period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the operating results.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 2001, BTG had a capital loss carry over of approximately $2,000,000 available to offset future capital gains, which expires at various times with respect to various amounts through 2006, a net operating loss carry over of approximately $20,000,000 available to offset future taxable income in limited amounts per year, which expires at various times from 2009 through 2021, and a research and experimental (“R&E”) credit carryover of approximately $2,067,000 available to reduce future income taxes, which expires at various times with respect to various amounts through 2020.
Provision for income taxes has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of BTG-Israel. Those earnings have been and will continue to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of additional tax that might be payable on the foreign earnings. The cumulative amount of reinvested earnings was approximately $12,500,000 at December 31, 2001.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On September 20, 2002, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Rosemont Pharmaceuticals, Limited, a leader in the UK market for oral liquid formulations of branded non-proprietary drugs. Rosemont is a specialty pharmaceutical company based in Leeds, England, that develops, manufactures and markets prescription drugs in oral liquid form primarily for the domestic UK market. The purchase price of £64 million or approximately $99 million (£61 million or approximately $95 million, net of Rosemont’s anticipated cash balances on closing) will be paid out of the Company’s available cash resources. The acquisition is anticipated to close by September 30, 2002. In 2001, Rosemont reported net revenues of £13.1 million ($20.3 million) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of £5.6 million ($8.7 million). Products manufactured and marketed by Rosemont include CNS and cardiovascular drugs and a recently introduced patented oral liquid formulation of tamoxifen, trademarked Soltamox, for the treatment of early and advanced stage breast cancers.
