EXHIBIT 20.2
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors
of Global Genomics Capital, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Genomics Capital, Inc., a California corporation (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001 and from the period from inception (May 23, 2000) to December 31, 2000 and the period from inception (May 23, 2000) to December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Blizzard Genomics, Inc., a 40% owned equity investment, whose assets reflect 100% and 97%, of the total assets, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors, Silverman Olson Thorvilson & Kaufmann Ltd, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Blizzard Genomics, Inc., is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
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 misstatements. 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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Genomics Capital, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001 and from the period from inception (May 23, 2000) to December 31, 2000 and from inception (May 23, 2000) to December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GLOBAL GENOMICS CAPITAL, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
FOR THE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (MAY 23, 2000) TO DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 2001
NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company:
Global Genomics Capital, Inc. (“GGC” or the “Company”) is a development stage enterprise incorporated in the state of California in 2000. The Company is principally engaged in the investing in and acquiring of genomics companies that will bring healthcare products driven by genomic technologies into the marketplace and reinventing drug development. The Company has one investment as of December 31, 2001, see Note 2, subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Company acquired an equity interest in a second entity (see note 8).
Future Operations:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has experienced net losses of approximately $1,800,000 from its inception and has provided no cash from operations. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to meet its financing requirements and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties:
GGC’s future profits are substantially dependent upon the genomic companies invested in and their ability to generate income.
Income Taxes:
Income taxes are provided based on the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets as management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” realization standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
7
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of funds invested in short-term interest-bearing accounts. GGC considers all highly liquid investments purchased with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Equity Method Investment:
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company accounts for investments in businesses in which it owns more than 20 percent and less than 50 percent using the equity method, if the Company does not have the ability to control the investee. Under the equity method, the investment balance, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earning or losses of the subsidiary as they occur, limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee.
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation:
The Company has elected to follow the accounting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” to account for compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation plan and to furnish the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. For stock issued to non-employees, the Company records the fair value of the equity granted in compliance with SFAS No. 123.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS, No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The impact of this pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements has not been completely determined by management.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN BLIZZARD GENOMICS, INC.
Through a series of stock purchases, which concluded on December 27, 2000 the Company purchased a total of 40% of Blizzard Genomics, Inc. (“Blizzard”), for $1,630,577. Blizzard is developing exclusive and proprietary products for instrumentation, software and consumable supplies for the growing genomics industry. Blizzard technologies are applicable to drug development, gene discovery, toxicology, cancer detection, forensics and basic research.
The Company’s 40% interest in Blizzard is accounted for under the equity method.
At the date of acquisition, the Company’s investment in Blizzard exceeded its equity in the underlying net assets of Blizzard by $1,014,000. This excess relates to developed technology, which management believes has alternative future uses. Management believes that there is no impairment in its investment in Blizzard. The Company will commence amortizing the excess purchase price once Blizzard enters its production phase.

(2) | The Company entered into an agreement on February 1, 2001 to be acquired by a public entity. In April 2001, this entity entered into financing agreements with the Company for $250,000 evidenced by Company debt instruments. Under the terms of the various notes, the notes were to mature in August 2001, however the notes contained a provision specifying that if the Company did not breach the terms of the note, it had the right to convert the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest into shares of Company common stock at its discretion. The acquisition of the Company was eventually cancelled. |

NOTE 4 – FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company has available at December 31, 2001 and 2000 unused operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,520,000 and $250,000, respectively, which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in various years through 2021. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carry-forwards the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the amount of the tax effect of the loss carry-forwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss.

The entity charged the Company in 2001, a one-time fee for the use of the space, administrative fees and services of the Chairman. During the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the affiliated entity billed the Company $536,000 and $0, respectively.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Management believes that it has the option to convert its debt to equity upon its acquisition by a company whose stock is publicly traded on a major stock exchange. However, if the Company is unable to reach agreeable terms on a conversion of debt to equity, it will actively seek to raise additional capital to repay the obligations (see Note 8).
NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Option Plan:
In September 2000, the Company approved a qualified stock option plan the “Equity Ownership Plan of Global Genomics Capital, Inc.” (the “Plan”). As of December 31, 2000, approximately 1,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance under this plan. The Plan allows for the Company to grant stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s authorized common stock for selected employees, directors of and consultants to the Company as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. No options may be granted to any employee, director or consultant who, at the time such option is granted, owns shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock of more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, unless the exercise price of such option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of the stock. For individuals owning less
10
than 10% of the aggregate voting shares options are generally priced at the fair value of stock on the date of grant. Options generally vest monthly with unvested options held in escrow.
During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 the following grants occurred:
• | Stock options for 680,000 shares of common stock, which are exercisable at $.43 per share, were issued in September 2000, which vest over a 21month period commencing December 2000. |
| |
• | Stock options for 250,000 shares of common stock, which are exercisable at $1.00 per share, were issued in March 2001 over a 21month period commencing April 2001. |

Stock Based Compensation:
The Company applies APB no. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees’, and related interpretations in accounting for the Plan. Accordingly, no compensation expense would be recognized for its stock based compensation plan other than for the stock options granted to consultants. Under SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” management applied the Blacks Scholes pricing model to the various stock option grants and determined that there was no value associated with the grants, since the exercise price of the stock options on the date of grant exceeded the fair value of the Company’s common stock. As such pro forma financial information is not provided.
Preferred Stock:
The Company authorized 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of which 27,314 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. The preferred stock contains the following preferential items.

On February 8, 2002, the Company gave notice to the lender of the April 2001 notes for $250,000, informing it of the Company’s intent to convert the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Company common stock. On April 10, 2002, the Company came to terms with the lender whereby immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger with CytRx Corporation (see the following paragraph of this section) all outstanding principal and accrued interest due from the Company will convert into 480,769 shares of Company common stock, subject to the provisions in the last paragraph of this section. If the Merger is not consummated by September 30, 2002, or if the Merger is abandoned, the Company will issue the holder a new promissory note which will be due and payable two years from the date of the new note or upon the receipt of any financing or proceeds from the sale of any assets of GGC.
On February 11, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of Merger with CytRx Corporation (CytRx), a publicly traded company (NASDAQNM: CYTR). The parties executed a definitive agreement and plan of Merger with the closing anticipated in July 2002. The transaction is contingent upon approval by the shareholders of both companies and other customary conditions. The terms of the Merger Agreement provide for CytRx to acquire all outstanding shares of the Company in return for the issuance of a maximum of approximately 9,963,000 shares of CytRx common stock.
On April 3, 2002, the Company reached a binding agreement with the holder of the July 2000 note payable, whereby immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger with CytRx, all outstanding principal and accrued interest due from the Company will convert into 375,000 shares of Company common stock for full and complete settlement of the debt instrument.

The Company intends to obtain approximately $675,000 of financing which is earmarked to repay the November and December 2000 and April 2001 notes. Although the lenders have agreed to convert their respective notes to Company common stock, it is their desire to receive cash in lieu of equity for a portion, if not all, of their notes. The shares of Company common stock were offered at $.50 per share, all proceeds from the issuance will be placed in escrow until immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger with CytRx. At that time, the funds will be used to payoff the debt and accrued interest, with the investors participating in the offering issued Company common stock. If the Merger is not consummated, the proceeds from the offering will be returned to the participating investors.
