Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation—This report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2005 filed with the SEC on December 22, 2005. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month and six month periods
5
ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the year ending September 30, 2006.
Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Arrowhead and its subsidiaries, Aonex Technologies, Inc. (“Aonex”), Calando Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Calando”), Insert Therapeutics, Inc. (“Insert”) and NanoPolaris, Inc. (“NanoPolaris”). Nanotechnica, Inc. (“Nanotechnica”), which the majority of its stockholders voted to dissolve on June 3, 2005, is included in the results for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2005 only as Loss from Discontinued Operations of Nanotechnica, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation and minority interests were accounted for in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the balance sheets.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, patents, goodwill and useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—For purposes relating to the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk—The Company maintains checking accounts for Arrowhead and separate accounts for each subsidiary at one financial institution. These accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), up to $100,000. The Company has a portion of its excess cash in two “Diversifier Accounts” at the same financial institution. The “Diversifier Accounts” invest in other bank issued CD’s in amounts of $100,000, each of which are fully insured by FDIC. The Company has a Wealth Management Account at the same financial institution which invests in higher yield money market accounts and in government securities. At March 31, 2006, the Company had uninsured cash deposits totaling $25,967,863, which includes $18,709,110 invested in U.S. government securities. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it has placed its cash on deposit with financial institutions that are financially stable.
Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded on the straight-line method over the respective useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease.
Intellectual Property—At March 31, 2006, intellectual property consists of patents and patent applications licensed or purchased totaling $316,634. The purchased patent applications are being amortized over three years. The Company’s additional capital investment in Insert has been recorded as an increase in the value of the patent held by Insert. The additional patent value is $3,301,190 and is being amortized over the life of this patent. As of March 31, 2006, the patent has 150 months until its expiration. The accumulated amortization of patents totaled $294,618 at March 31, 2006. The majority of the Nanotechnica patents were transferred from Nanotechnica to Arrowhead in June 2005. The transferred patents were returned to the California Institute of Technology in January 2006.
Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the value of net assets of businesses acquired pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and is carried at cost unless write-downs for impairment are required. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, an adjustment is then made. To date, no such impairment has been recorded. Goodwill at March 31, 2006 consisted of $999,000 for Aonex and $3,468,427 for Calando.
Revenue Recognition—Calando signed a license agreement with Benitec on June 20, 2005. The agreement includes license fees, development fees and milestone fees with an initial annual license fee of $150,000, paid in advance. The license fee revenue is being recognized over 12 months. The Company recognized $37,500 and $75,000 in license revenue for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, respectively. The remainder of $31,250 is reported as deferred revenue at March 31, 2006. During the six months ended March 31, 2006, Calando received and recognized $150,000 in development fee revenue from Benitec. For the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, Aonex recorded $20,000 and $50,000 in revenue applicable to a Phase I SBIR grant.
6
Research and Development—Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred in accordance with FASB statement No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.”
Earnings (Loss) per Share—Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares primarily consist of stock options issued to employees and consultants of the Company. For three-month period ended March 31, 2006 and six-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively, their effect was anti-dilutive.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company has adopted the retrospective method of implementing SFAS 123R. Therefore, the financials for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 have been adjusted to reflect the accounting and expensing of the fair value of the stock based awards.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the effect the adoption of this interpretation will have on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
NOTE 2:BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively include the accounts of Arrowhead and its subsidiaries, Aonex, Calando, Insert and NanoPolaris. Nanotechnica (which a majority of its shareholders voted to dissolve on June 3, 2005) is included in the results for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2005 only as Loss from Discontinued Operations of Nanotechnica, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation and minority interests were accounted for in the consolidated statements of operations and the balance sheets.

On April 20, 2004, Arrowhead purchased 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in a newly-formed entity, Aonex, for $2,000,000. The 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock represent 80% of the outstanding, voting shares of Aonex and allow Arrowhead to elect a majority of Aonex’s Board of Directors. Since its initial investment on April 20, 2004, Arrowhead has provided $3,000,000 of additional capital to Aonex , including $1,000,000 provided in February 2006.
Insert Therapeutics, Inc.
On June 4, 2004, Arrowhead purchased 24,496,553 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of Insert, a Pasadena, California based company for $1,000,000. The Series B Preferred Stock allows Arrowhead to elect a majority of Insert’s Board of Directors. On March 29, 2005, Arrowhead exchanged 4,000,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock for 4,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference senior to Series B Preferred Stock.
On March 23, 2005, Arrowhead purchased 7,375,000 shares of Insert common stock from two minority stockholders of Insert for 502,260 newly issued shares of Arrowhead Common Stock. The Arrowhead Common Stock was valued at $2,000,000 based on the closing market price of Arrowhead Common Stock on NASDAQ on March 23, 2005.
On March 31, 2005, Arrowhead sold 2,640,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock to qualified investors for $1.00 per share. Net proceeds of the sale were $2,424,924. The sale of the Series C Preferred Stock reduced Arrowhead’s ownership in Insert from 74.7% to 68.5% as of March 31, 2005.
As of March 31, 2006, Arrowhead owns 68.3% of the outstanding, voting securities of Insert. Since its initial investment on June 4, 2004, Arrowhead has provided $4,000,000 of additional capital to Insert.
7
Calando Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On February 22, 2005, Arrowhead purchased 4,000,000 shares of common stock in a newly-formed entity, Calando, for $250,000. Calando and Insert have entered into a license agreement giving Calando exclusive rights to Insert’s technology for the delivery and therapeutic use of RNAi in Calando’s research, development and business efforts. A voting agreement between Arrowhead and certain shareholders in Calando gives the Company the right to designate a majority of Calando’s Board of Directors. Arrowhead has provided $3,750,000 in additional capital to Calando, including $2,000,000 contributed in February 2006.
On March 31, 2006, Arrowhead purchased 5,000,000 shares of Calando’s Series A Preferred Stock for $3,000,000. The preferred shares are convertible in common stock on a one to one basis, are entitled to a non-cumulative dividend of eight percent (8%) and have a liquidation preference over the common stock. Concurrent with the Series A purchase, Arrowhead purchased 964,000 shares of common stock for $2.00 per share from minority shareholders. The $1,928,000 payment for the purchase of Calando common stock consisted of $850,667 in cash and 208,382 in shares of Arrowhead common stock with an estimated value of $1,077,333 or $5.17 per share based on the average closing price of Arrowhead’s common stock during the last ten days prior to the transaction closing. At March 31, 2006, the $850,667 cash portion of the payment was included in accounts payable until payment was made on April 10, 2006.
As a result of the transactions described above, Arrowhead increased its ownership from 58.2% to 82.7% of the outstanding, voting stock of Calando. Arrowhead has direct ownership of 80.1% of the outstanding, voting stock of Calando and indirectly, through Insert, controls another 2.6% of the outstanding, voting stock. Two of Calando’s founders have warrants for Calando common stock that, if exercised, would reduce Arrowhead’s direct and indirect ownership from 82.7% to 68.0%.
On March 31, 2006, Arrowhead entered into a second Agreement to Provide Additional Capital with Calando. Arrowhead agreed to provide up to $7,000,000 of additional capital to Calando subject to the attainment of certain milestones in its preclinical testing, clinical testing and related approval processes. Should Arrowhead elect not to make the additional capital contributions, the preferred stock conversion right of one to one will be adjusted to approximately three to one.
NanoPolaris, Inc.
On April 4, 2005, Arrowhead founded NanoPolaris as a wholly owned subsidiary of Arrowhead. NanoPolaris was initially capitalized with $1,000. NanoPolaris will seek to generate revenue by licensing intellectual property to customers who will utilize nanotube technology in their products. NanoPolaris controls commercialization of a set of issued patents and patent applications claiming nanotube compositions of matter and general manufacturing techniques such as chemical vapor deposition synthesis, plasma chemical vapor deposition synthesis, purification, solubilization, separation of certain types of tubes, coating, functionalization and manipulation.
Nanotechnica, Inc.—Discontinued Operations
In the third quarter of FY 2005, the Company determined that the progress being made by Nanotechnica in commercializing HPLC technology was not progressing satisfactorily and the market potential was uncertain. Therefore, on June 3, 2005, a majority of the stockholders of Nanotechnica voted to dissolve the company. Because of Arrowhead’s liquidation preference as Series A Preferred Stockholders, $2.8 million in cash was remitted to Arrowhead along with $213,000 of the other remaining assets. Arrowhead has discontinued development efforts related to microfluidics and returned the applicable patents to Caltech. The losses incurred by Nanotechnica are segregated on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Losses from Discontinued Operations of Nanotechnica, Inc. Nanotechnica had no revenue in either FY 2004 or FY 2005.

In connection with the formation of the Company and two private placements, the Company issued approximately 13.8 million common stock purchase warrants, which were called on May 4, 2005. Substantially all of the outstanding warrants were exercised by June 2005, and the Company received approximately $20.7 million in total exercise proceeds. The warrants not exercised were redeemed by the Company for $0.001 per share.
On January 24, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of 5,590,000 shares of restricted common stock at $3.50 per share that generated $19.6 million in total proceeds.

The Company has applied SFAS 123R on a retrospective basis for FY 2006. Therefore, the income for the three months of FY 2005, ended March 31, 2005, has been decreased from $642,761 to $615,930. The loss for the first six months of FY 2005 has been increased from $893,698 to $946,485 to reflect amortization of the fair value of options awarded to employees prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. Arrowhead’s accumulated deficit at September 30, 2005 has been adjusted by $262,106 to reflect the retrospective application of SFAS 123R. For the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, the stock based compensation expense is $352,986 and $631,763, respectively.
The estimated fair value of the options granted by Arrowhead for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 is $218,987 and $1,729,160, respectively.
The aggregate fair value of options granted by Aonex, Calando, or Insert for the six month period ended March 31, 2006 is $16,168.
The fair value of options granted during the six months ended March 31, 2006 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 25% to 50%, risk-free interest rate of 5.25%, and expected life of five years. The weighted-average fair value of options granted by Arrowhead for the six months ended March 31, 2006 was estimated at $1.88 and the weighted-average exercise price was estimated at $4.03.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
12
can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
NOTE 8.INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.
Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
For the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, the Company had consolidated losses of $3,106,586 and $6,243,538, respectively. For the six month period ended March 31, 2005, the Company had a consolidated loss of $946,485. The losses result in a deferred income tax benefit of approximately $1,227,000 and $2,466,000 for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006 and $373,861 for the six months ended March 31, 2005, offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for the same amount for Arrowhead. Management has chosen to take a 100% valuation allowance against the tax benefit until such time as management believes that its projections of future profits as well as expected future tax rates make the realization of these deferred tax assets more-likely-than-not. Significant judgment is required in the evaluation of deferred tax benefits and differences in future results from our estimates could result in material differences in the realization of these assets.
NOTE 9:SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC REPORTING
The Company accounts for segments and geographic product and licensing revenues in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services.
Grant and collaboration agreements are not considered to be product or licensing revenue as the Company’s plan of operations is to sell products and/or license technology. The grant revenue is a way to fund and to offset development costs. In the quarter ended June 30, 2005, Calando accrued the first commercial license agreement revenue totaling $150,000 covering the period June 15, 2005 through June 14, 2006. License fees from Calando’s commercial license fees recorded as revenue were $37,500 and $75,000 for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006. The customer is located in North America.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Arrowhead is a diversified nanotechnology company commercializing products and technologies through majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships with universities and government labs. Currently, operations conducted by Arrowhead and its subsidiaries consist primarily of technological research and development. It could take a long time to bring products to market, and success is uncertain.
Nanotechnology generally refers to the investigation, design, and manipulation of matter at the atomic, molecular, or macromolecular levels. Due to their size and unique properties, nanoscale materials, devices, and systems are being used in a variety of commercial applications and are expected to have broad impact across all industries.
Arrowhead is a development-stage company and has three strategic components to its business model:
• | Outsourced R&D Program: Arrowhead identifies patented or patent-pending technologies at universities or government labs and funds additional development of those technologies in exchange for exclusive rights to commercialize the resulting prototypes. Leveraging the resources and infrastructure of these institutions provides Arrowhead with a cost-effective development pipeline. Currently, Arrowhead is supporting efforts in drug discovery tools, stem cell technology and nanoelectronics at the California Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and Duke University, respectively. |
• | Commercialization Program: After prototypes have been sufficiently developed in the laboratories, Arrowhead forms or acquires majority-owned subsidiaries to commercialize the technology and provides the subsidiaries with strategic, managerial and operational support. By doing so, each research team is able to maintain focus on its specific technology and each management team can focus on specific markets, increasing the likelihood of successful technological development and commercialization. At present, Arrowhead owns majority interest in subsidiaries commercializing diverse technologies, including anti-cancer drugs, RNAi therapeutics, compound semiconductor materials and nanotube technology. |
• | The Patent Toolbox: Arrowhead has acquired or exclusively licensed patents and patent applications covering a broad range of nanotechnology. The Company actively adds to its intellectual property portfolio. |
The Company was founded in May 2003. Since inception, the Company has generated significant losses. Operations have been funded primarily through the sale of common stock. Since inception, the Company’s accumulated deficit is approximately $15.7 million. Revenues have come primarily from grants, development fees and a license agreement as the Company has no products ready for sale or broad commercial licensing. Since inception, the Company has focused on establishing or acquiring operating subsidiaries, sponsoring internal and external research and development, acquiring intellectual property rights, hiring management and technical staff and raising capital. To date, the Company has four majority owned operating Subsidiaries, Aonex Technologies, Inc. (“Aonex”), Calando Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Calando”), Insert Therapeutics, Inc. (“Insert”), NanoPolaris, Inc. (“NanoPolaris”).
Aonex’s technology development efforts are directed toward commercializing a method for manufacturing semiconductor nanomaterials.
Insert has developed Cyclosert™, a proprietary drug delivery platform technology based on a nano-engineered class of linear cyclodextrin-containing polymers. Insert’s first investigational new drug application for its first drug candidate, IT-101, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 2006. IT-101 is a conjugate of Insert’s patented nano-engineered drug delivery polymer and camptothecin, a potent anti-cancer compound. A Phase I study for IT-101 will be conducted at the City of Hope, in Duarte, California.
Calando is designing, developing and commercializing novel RNAi therapeutics to treat diseases and other medical conditions by combining effective RNAi therapeutics with patented and proprietary delivery technologies.
NanoPolaris seeks to license nanotube technology developed at universities in the U.S. and to generate revenue by sublicensing the rights to such intellectual property to industry participants who will utilize nanotube technology in their commercial products.
The Company had a consolidated loss of $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 versus a consolidated income of $615,930 for the same period of the previous fiscal year. During the second quarter of FY 2005, the company recognized a
14
gain of $2.3 million applicable to the sale to third parties of a portion of Arrowhead’s ownership in Insert Therapeutics, Inc. The consolidated loss for the second quarter of FY 2005 before this one time gain would have been about $1.7 million.
The consolidated loss for the six month period ended March 31, 2006 was $6.2 million versus a consolidated loss of $946,485 for the same period of the previous year. The consolidated net loss for the six month period ended March 31, 2005 would have been $3.2 million but the loss was reduced by the gain recognized on the sale of a portion of the Arrowhead’s ownership in Insert to a third party.
The increase in the consolidated loss adjusted for the one time gain occurred primarily in four areas. First, staffing has increased as the Company has grown. We have added staff at all levels within the company to accommodate the increase development efforts, the addition of Calando, the increase in general and administrative responsibilities and the need to comply with Sarbanes Oxley. Second, Insert incurred major expenses during the first six months of FY 2006 related to preclinical research, to filing the Investigational New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, to obtaining sufficient IT-101 drug inventories to be able to enter Phase I Clinical Trials and finally to pay for all the advance preparation required to enter the trials. Third, legal expenses increased as the company did a private placement, recapitalized Calando, examined or reviewed new potential deals and maintained patents licensed from Caltech. Fourth, facilities cost increased due to expansion of existing space and establishment of new facilities to meet growth of or to house new subsidiaries.
The analysis below details the operating expenses and discusses the increased expenditures within the major categories.
For purposes of comparison, the amounts for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are shown in the tables below. The amounts for each period have been adjusted to include the adoption of SFAS 123R and to eliminate Nanotechnica from continuing operations.

The increase in G&A related compensation is the result of hiring of a new President for Arrowhead, a Vice President, Investor Relations, a President for Insert/Calando, and additional support staff to service the Company and its Subsidiaries in the areas of Sarbanes-Oxley implementation, human resources and accounts payable. The increase in stock based compensation is related to the issuance of stock options to existing and new employees and expense booked pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 123R which requires expensing of stock-based compensation for all options granted. Finally, the R&D compensation increase is the result of hiring additional technical staff as the Company’s Subsidiaries increase the pace of development. The Company expects that Salaries & Wages will continue to grow during FY 2006 as more people are hired to support development and administration of the Company.

The major increases in non-compensation related general and administrative expenses are the result of legal and professional fees associated with subsidiary stock purchases, capital contributions to subsidiaries, strategic initiatives and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Arrowhead has incurred additional expense for new or expanded leases as subsidiaries are established or expanded. Facilities related expenses are expected to increase in FY 2006 with the Company’s move to larger corporate offices and when Insert moves into new laboratory facilities. The increase in patent expense during the six month period relates primarily to the accrual of $300,000 of patent expenses owed to Caltech for patent & patent applications that Insert licenses from Caltech.

Insert is in the preclinical phase of development of its drug delivery system. Insert received approval for its Investigational New Drug (IND) application from the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) on March 14, 2006 expects to begin Phase I clinical trails in the second quarter of calendar 2006. In advance of the clinical trials, Insert was required to pay the cost to manufacture the entire amount of its drug candidate, IT-101, necessary to complete the Phase I clinical trial. It is the company’s policy to expense the cost of the supplies when received. Therefore, in first three months and six months of FY 2006, approximately $930,000 and $1,283,000 of supplies was expensed, respectively. In addition, Insert completed the large mammal studies required as part of the IND process and those expenses were the primary cause of the increase in laboratory services. While a purchase of supplies of this magnitude is not a normal recurring expense, the continued development of new products in Insert, Calando and Aonex will result in increased R&D expenses in the future.
The Company continues to sponsor research at Caltech, Duke and Stanford. The number of research projects can fluctuate from time to time as the Company adds or terminates projects. The increase in sponsored research expense in the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 compared to the three month and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 is in large part due to the expense of the Duke and the Stanford projects. Each project has an annual cost of $300,000 over two years and neither project was in place in FY 2005.
Leveraged Technology and Revenue Strategy
Arrowhead continues to follow its strategy to leverage technology which is being or has been developed at universities. By doing so, Arrowhead benefits from work done at those universities and through majority-owned subsidiaries, which can commercialize the most promising technologies developed from sponsored research and other sources. Although the Company is likely to produce prototypes and develop manufacturing processes, it may not ultimately manufacture products developed. The Company has three primary strategies to potentially generate product sales revenue:
• | License the products and processes to a third party for a royalty or other payment. By licensing, the Company would not be required to allocate resources to build a sales or a production infrastructure and could use those resources to develop additional products. |
• | Retain the rights to the products and processes, but contract with a third party for production. The Company would then market the finished products. This approach would require either the establishment of a sales and distribution network or collaboration with a supplier who has an established sales and distribution network, but would not require investment in production equipment. |
• | Build production capability in order to produce and market the end products. This last approach would likely require the most capital to build the production, sales and distribution infrastructure. |
On a case-by-case basis, the Company will choose the strategy, which in the opinion of management, will generate the highest return for the Company.
The Company seeks and has been awarded grants from private and public entities. While the ultimate goal of the Company is to generate revenue through the sale of products and/or the licensing of technology, the Company does record revenue from grants and from development fees. Revenue from grants and development fees are considered to be reimbursements for efforts performed on behalf of third parties and not part of the Company’s primary strategy to generate revenue.
In June 2005, Calando entered into the Company’s first commercial licensing deal whereby Calando granted an exclusive worldwide license to Benitec Ltd. (ASX:BLT) for the combination of Calando’s polymeric RNA interference (“RNAi”) delivery technology with Benitec’s RNAi-based therapeutic for the hepatitis C virus (“HCV”). Under this license agreement, Calando received an upfront payment of $150,000, which is being amortized over 12 months. Calando could also receive additional license fees in the following years, milestone development payments, and future royalties on revenue from the HCV therapeutic. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized $37,750 in revenue applicable to this agreement. The Company is actively pursuing other license deals.
For the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, $57,500 and $310,000, respectively, in revenue was generated primarily related to a development fee paid to Calando by Benitec $150,000, license fee revenue recognized of $37,500 per quarter and $50,000 related to an SBIR grant to Aonex. Grants and development fees continue into FY 2006, but there can be no assurance that subsequent grants will be forthcoming.
The Company does not expect any product sales in FY 2006. Therefore, losses can be expected to increase before any substantial revenue is generated. To partially offset these losses, the Company is pursuing other means of funding such as licenses, government grants, contracts and collaborations with third parties. The award of such grants and contracts depends
17
on numerous factors, many of which are not in the Company’s control, and therefore it is difficult to predict if this will be successful.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception in May 2003, the Company has generated significant losses. As of March 31, 2006, the Company’s accumulated deficit including minority interest was $18.9 million. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had $35.3 million in cash and marketable securities compared to $22.4 million in cash and marketable securities at September 30, 2005. The Company’s investment objectives are primarily to preserve capital and liquidity and secondarily to obtain investment income. The Company invests excess cash in certificates of deposit, U.S. government obligations and high grade commercial paper.
The Company’s operating activities have required significant amounts of cash. This trend will continue through FY 2006 as the Company’s Subsidiaries continue to develop and refine their products and technology. During this period the Company does not expect to generate significant amounts of revenue. It is projected that the Company and its subsidiaries will continue to add staff, property, and equipment during FY 2006. In addition, the Company expects to continue to invest in new sponsored research projects and new business opportunities. At March 31, 2006, the Company had a commitment to provide an additional $7 million to Calando, if certain milestones are reached. The Company believes that the cash on hand at March 31, 2006 is sufficient to meet all existing obligations and fund existing operations beyond the end of FY 2006.
Since inception, the Company has funded operations and acquisitions through the issuance of equity. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had raised approximately $52 million through the sale of Common Stock and the exercise of Warrants. New business opportunities may require additional cash resources. In the future, the Company may seek additional funding through public or private financing, through collaborations and/or through private and U.S. government grants.
Except for copy machines, the Company does not lease any equipment and purchases all of its required capital assets. To date, when leasing facility space, the Company has been successful in having most leasehold improvements paid for by the landlord and included in the lease cost. The Company may not be able to do so in all cases going forward.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
None.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our investments in certain short-term investments. We invest our excess cash in highly liquid short-term investments that are typically held for the duration of the term of the respective instrument. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. Accordingly, we believe that, while the securities we hold are subject to changes in the financial standing of the issuer of such securities, we are not subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-14 and 3a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, President, and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
No change in the Company’s internal controls in financial reporting occurred during the Company’s most recent three month period that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls subsequent to the date this evaluation was carried out.
19
None.
ITEM 2. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES; USE OF PROCEEDS.
On January 24, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of 5,590,000 shares of restricted common stock at $3.50 per share. The company received approximately $19.6 million in total proceeds from the placement. At the closing, the purchasers received warrants, exercisable after July 25, 2006, to purchase an additional 1,397,500 shares of restricted common stock at $5.04 per share. The exercise price of the warrants at closing was at a premium to the closing market price of the common stock on January 24, 2006. The warrants may be called by the Company after any time after July 25, 2006 if the closing price of the Company’s Common stock is $6.50 or above for the previous 30 trading days.
The proceeds are to be used for general working capital needs, funding subsidiary operations, acquisitions and sponsored research at universities and institutions.
The company filed an S-3 covering the shares issued above and the S-3 was approved on March 24, 2006.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
