NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2001
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of LifePoint, Inc. (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except as disclosed below) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year due to external factors that are beyond the control of the Company. This Report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 (the "Annual Report").
NOTE 2. - Continuing Operations and Liquidity
During the period from October 8, 1992 (inception) through June 30, 2001, the Company has realized no revenues and has accumulated losses of $27,985,819. Recovery of the Company's assets is dependent upon future events, including commercialization of the Company's product and ultimately achieving profitable operations. The outcome of these events is indeterminable.
On July 14, 1999 the Company entered into an equipment lease financing agreement for $300,000 with FirstCorp of Portland, Oregon, which is discussed further in Note 4 under the caption "Lease Commitments."
On August 28, 2000 the Company entered into a lease financing agreement with Finova Capital Corporation ("Finova") of Scottsdale, Arizona whereby Finova agreed to provide LifePoint with up to a $3,000,000 lease line for the purchase of equipment including up to $500,000 of leasehold improvements (at June 30, 2001 $1,250,000 had been drawn against the line). The master lease agreement provides for individual closing schedules of not less than $250,000 (up to three schedules may have an aggregate closing cost of not less than $100,000). Each closing schedule will be financed for 36 months at a rate equal to the current three-year U.S. Treasury Notes, but not less than 6.79%. At the end of each schedule, LifePoint will have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the equipment at 15% of the original equipment cost. Included in cash and cash equivalents is $900,000 of restricted cash the Company is required to maintain in accordance with the master lease agreement. Although the Company had met t he requirements to have the restricted cash plus interest released by June 30, 2001, Finova had not complied with the request. The Company is in discussions with Finova to secure the return of the aforementioned deposit.
In June 2001, the Company realized approximately $11,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 313.721 Units, each Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and a Common Stock purchase warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of the Common Stock. The Company had previously realized $3,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 75,000 shares of the then designated Series B Preferred Stock; however, the $3,000,000 purchase price for these shares was applied to purchase Units and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock were cancelled and the related Common Stock purchase warrants surrendered. As a result, management believes that the net proceeds from the two offerings will be sufficient to enable the Company to reach the period when the Company can reasonably expect to achieve profitability. However, if there are delays in the Company meeting its timetable, the Company may require additional funding. In addition, because 50% of the proceeds from the offering are held in escrow (for a total of $5.5 million included in restricted cash in escrow) against the achievement by the Company of certain designated milestones, the Company could have to refund some or all of these proceeds held in escrow.
As a safe guard should such possibility occur, the Company is seeking to sell, on or prior to mid-September, up to an additional 114 Units on the same basis as described in the preceding paragraph. If successful, the Company would realize additional gross proceeds of approximately $2,000,000 to 4,000,000. However, until the Company closes the sales of these additional units, there is always the risk that the potential investors may not be receptive to making an investment, particularly in the Company, at the time management desires, especially

(Continued)
NOTE 2. - Continuing Operations and Liquidity (continued)
because of the general decline in stock market prices which has occurred since the beginning of 2000 and continuing in the first and second quarters of calendar year 2001.
The Company has entered into a strategic partnering agreement with CMI, Inc. ("CMI") to distribute the Company's products exclusively to the law enforcement market. As part of this agreement, CMI will make payments of approximately $5 million to LifePoint over a two and one-half year period. Additionally, the Company continues to pursue additional strategic partnering in the industrial market and is in discussions with a large potential partner. Several large pharmaceutical and diagnostic corporations have also expressed their initial interest in partnering with the Company. Management anticipates that an additional partnering agreement may be completed.
Management believes that, with the net proceeds from the private placement and the strategic partnering fees described in the preceding paragraphs, the Company has sufficient funds to complete field trials and pilot studies, initiate marketing and reach profitability, expected to occur five quarters post product introduction. There can be no assurance that management's estimate as to costs and timing will be correct. Any delays may further increase the Company's costs.

NOTE 4 - Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
LifePoint has entered into a lease agreement commencing October 1, 1997 and, extended by an amendment, terminating on June 30, 2004, for the research facilities in Rancho Cucamonga, California. In addition to rent of $72,000 per year for fiscal years through March 31, 2002, LifePoint will pay real estate taxes and other occupancy costs. The Company has an option to renew until June 30, 2005 so as to be consistent with the term of the lease described in the next paragraph.
On April 26, 2000, the Company entered into a lease agreement for administrative offices and manufacturing facility commencing May 1, 2000, which terminates on July 31, 2005. In addition to rent of $226,000 per year, LifePoint will pay for real estate taxes and other occupancy costs. The Company may elect to terminate the lease at the end of four years and has the right to two 2-year renewal options. The lease also allows for rent abatement in three of the first twelve months as a tenant improvement allowance in addition to the $30,000 paid by the lessor.

NOTE 4 - Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Lease Commitments (continued)
The Company leases certain equipment under noncancelable lease arrangements. These capital leases expire on various dates through 2004 and may be renewed for up to 12 months. Furniture, fixtures and equipment includes assets acquired under capital leases of $1,503,400 as of June 30, 2001.
Significant Contracts
Effective January 1, 1993, LifePoint entered into a sub-license agreement with Substance Abuse Technologies ("SAT") in which LifePoint sublicensed all of SAT's rights under a license agreement (the "License Agreement") with the United States Navy (the "USN").
SAT and the USN on January 24, 1992 had entered into a ten-year agreement granting SAT a partial exclusive patent license to products for drug testing in the United States and certain foreign countries. In June 1995, SAT's License Agreement with the USN was renegotiated and amended to provide for minimum royalties of $100,000 per year commencing October 1, 1995 and terminating September 30, 2005. Additional royalties will be paid pursuant to a schedule based upon sales of products. LifePoint was a sub-licensee under this agreement from SAT and, accordingly, had an obligation to SAT for the royalty payments required by the License Agreement. Royalties expensed under the License Agreement by LifePoint were $50,000, $40,000, $100,000 and $50,000 for the years ended March 31, 2001, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. No amounts were paid or due for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
With the sale of SAT,s majority-owned position in LifePoint, the USN also agreed to transfer its License Agreement with SAT directly to LifePoint. An amendment dated November 12, 1997 was executed to modify the up-front $100,000 annual minimum payment to be paid in several payments over the year; it also included a onetime payment of $10,000 for any outstanding debt due to the USN from SAT. LifePoint has assumed all of SAT's rights and undertaken all of SAT's obligations under the License Agreement.
In April 1999, the Company and the USN completed negotiations for an expansion of the License Agreement. The new terms expand the field-of-use from drugs of abuse and anabolic steroids on urine samples to include all possible diagnostic uses for saliva and urine. The royalty rate payable to the USN is 3% on the technology-related portion of the disposable cassette sales and 1% on instrument sales. The minimum royalty payment for calendar year 2001 is $50,000 and $100,000 a year thereafter.
NOTE 5 - Stockholders' Equity
On June 20, 2001, the Company sold, at $35,000 per Unit, to eleven investors (including three of the purchasers of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock) an aggregate of 228.007 Units, each Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of a newly-designated series of the Preferred Stock designated the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") and a Warrant expiring June 19, 2006 (i.e., the "Investor Warrant") to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), at $3.50 per share.
430,000 shares of the 3,000,000 authorized shares of the Company's Preferred Stock have been designated as the Series C Preferred Stock in order to cover not only the original sale by the Company, but also subsequent sales during the 90 days after the original issuance on June 20, 2001. On June 29, 2001, an additional 85.713 Units

NOTE 5 - Stockholders' Equity (continued)
were sold to the Series B Preferred Stock investors as described in the preceding section . Accordingly, as of June 30, 2001, there were outstanding an aggregate of 313,720 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and Investor Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,137,200 shares.
Pursuant to an escrow agreement, 50% of the proceeds, the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Investor Warrants are held in escrow, to be released upon achievement by the Company of the following two milestones:
- (i) confirmation that the Company has sold at least an additional 57 Units for an aggregate of at least 371 Units and (ii) receipt of validation from an independent third party, which is selected by 70% of the holders owning 42,857 shares or more of the Series C Preferred Stock, that the IMPACT Test System produces data and functions as expected to be outlined in a 510(k) application to be submitted to the FDA, both milestones to be achieved on or prior to December 31, 2001, and
- confirmation that the Company has received bona fide orders for the sale of the IMPACT Test System in an amount not less than $250,000 on or prior to March 31, 2002.
Any holder of the Series C Preferred Stock may, at any time, waive compliance with either milestone and receive a release from escrow. The second milestone does not become operational unless the first milestone is achieved or compliance therewith is waived by the holders whose securities are still held in escrow. Upon non-achievement of a milestone, a holder can request that its purchase price then held in escrow be refunded to the holder. In such event the related shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and Investor Warrant or Warrants would be cancelled.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, stock options were granted to fourteen employees to purchase 208,000 shares of the Common Stock at $3.85 per share. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, annual option grants to purchase 40,000 shares of the Common Stock at prices ranging from $3.48 to $4.09 per share were granted to four continuing directors of the Company. As of June 30, 2001, there were outstanding, under the stock option plan, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,089,562 shares held by a total of 43 employees, 2 Scientific Advisory Board members, 7 Substance Abuse Advisory Board members and 4 directors.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company issued warrants to the Placement Agent and two firms as partial payment for services associated with the placement of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2001, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 11,730,518 shares of the Company's stock, including the warrants issued as part of the Series C Preferred Stock offering which raised approximately $11 million gross proceeds for the Company.

This patented technology, when used in conjunction with LifePoint's own patented and proprietary technologies using saliva as a non-invasive test specimen, has allowed for the development of a broadly applicable non-invasive, rapid, on-site diagnostic test system. The first product being commercialized is for the simultaneous detection of drugs of abuse and alcohol, estimated to be over a $1.6 billion market by 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company is a development stage enterprise with no earnings history. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to research and development and has experienced an ongoing deficiency in working capital. The Company does not anticipate generating revenue from product sales until the end of the third quarter of 2001 at the earliest. There can be no assurance as to when the Company will achieve profitability, if at all.
Because the Company has not produced any revenues as a result of its being a development stage company, it has been dependent, since gaining its independence from SAT in October 1997, on the net proceeds derived from six private placements pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act to fund its operations. The succeeding three paragraphs describe the private placements in Fiscal 2000 and 2001.
On February 29 and March 14, 2000, the Company closed as to the sales at $5,000 per Unit of an aggregate of 1,840 units, each unit consisting of 2,500 shares of the Common Stock and an Investor Warrant expiring February 28 or March 13, 2005 to purchase 2,500 shares of the Common Stock at $3.00 per share. The Investor Warrants may not be exercised prior to September 14, 2000 and the shares included in the Units are restricted securities for at least one year. The Company realized $9,200,000 in gross proceeds. Finders' fees were paid to various consultants and bankers for their assistance in helping the Company to complete this private placement consisting of an aggregate of $604,706 in cash fees and Finder's Warrants expiring March 13, 2005 to purchase an aggregate of 273,075 shares of the Common Stock at $3.00 per share.
As a result of the $9,200,000 in gross proceeds realized in the Company's fourth private placement which was closed in February and March 2000, management believed, as the Company had previously announced, that the Company had sufficient funds to complete the commercialization of its testing product and bring the same to market. This expectation has proven to be correct. However, as the Company had also previously reported, the Company also required additional funds to bridge the gap between the time theImpact Test System was first brought to market and the time the resultant revenues from sales of such product resulted in profitability. As reported in Item 1 to this Report, in June 2001, the Company realized approximately $11,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 313.721 Units, each Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and a Series C Warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of the Common Stock. The Company had previously realized $3,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 75,000 shares of the then designated Series B Preferred Stock; however, the $3,000,000 purchase price was used to purchase Units and the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were cancelled and the Common Stock purchase warrants surrendered. As a result, management believes that the net proceeds from the two offerings will be sufficient to enable the Company to reach the period when the Company can reasonably expect to achieve profitability. However, if there are delays in the Company meeting its timetable, the Company may require additional funding. In addition, because 50% of the proceeds from the offering are held in escrow against the achievement by the Company of certain designated milestones, the Company could have to refund some or all of these proceeds held in escrow.
As a safe guard should such possibility occur, the Company is seeking to sell, on or prior to mid-September, up to an additional 114 Units on the same basis as described in the preceding paragraph. If successful, the Company would realize additional gross proceeds of approximately $2,000,000 to 4,000,000. However, until the Company closes the sales of these additional units, there is always the risk that the potential investors may not be receptive to making an investment, particularly in the Company, at the time management desires, especially because of the general decline in stock market prices which has occurred since the beginning of 2000 and continuing in the first and second quarters of 2001.
Management believes that, with the net proceeds from the private placement described in the second preceding paragraph, the Company has sufficient funds to complete commercialization, generate field trials and pilot studies, initiate marketing and reach profitability, expected to occur five quarters post product introduction. There can be no assurance that management's estimate as to costs and timing will be correct. Any delays may further increase the Company's costs.
The Company has entered into a strategic partnering agreement with CMI, Inc. ("CMI") to distribute the Company's products exclusively to the law enforcement market. As part of this agreement, CMI will make payments of approximately $5 million to LifePoint over a two and one-half year period. Additionally, the Company continues to pursue additional strategic partnering in the industrial market and is in discussions with a large potential partner. Several large pharmaceutical and diagnostic corporations have also expressed their initial interest in partnering with the Company. Management anticipates that an additional partnering agreement may be completed.
Management has investigated the possibility of an underwritten public offering and has received expressions of interest from several well-known firms, but only on a post-revenue basis. However, because the market currently is not generally receptive to public offerings, there can be no assurance that stock market conditions later in 2001 or 2002 will be receptive to a public offering by the Company, especially in view of the volatility of the market generally in 2000 and the first two quarters of calendar year 2001. In addition, competitive conditions in the substance abuse testing industry at that time may make the Company less attractive to potential public investors. See the section "Competition" under the caption "Business" in the Annual Report.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional financing, whether through a capital leasing firm, a strategic partner, a public offering or a private placement.
If all of the Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,730,518 shares of the Common Stock which were outstanding on June 30, 2001 were subsequently exercised, the Company would realize $31,744,907 in gross proceeds. If all of the Options pursuant to the two Stock Option Plans to purchase an aggregate of 2,089,562 shares outstanding on June 30, 2001 were subsequently exercised, the Company would realize $5,996,363 in gross proceeds. However, there can be no certainty as to when or if any of these securities will be exercised, especially as to the Options and certain of the Warrants that were not all currently exercisable as of June 30, 2001. Accordingly, management believes that the Company cannot rely on these exercises as a source of financing.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 vs. June 30, 2000
During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company spent $1,625,995 on research and development and an additional $765,544 on selling, general and administrative expenses, as compared with $1,097,424 and $450,885, respectively, during the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The increase of $528,571, or 48.2%, in research and development expenditures in 2001 is primarily attributable to the initiation of pilot manufacturing and clinical trials for theIMPACT Test System™. General and administrative expenses increased $314,659, or 69.8%, as the Company prepares for product launch in September with ad placements, marketing materials and attendance at various tradeshows. The Company is also continuing its lobbying efforts through the presentation of technical papers and working with various governmental agencies to set standards for the approval of a saliva-based evidential instrument. Overall staffing for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased 82% in comparison to the same period in 2000.
From inception on October 8, 1992 to June 30, 2001, the Company has spent $16,091,596 on research and development and $8,502,988 on selling, general and administrative expenses. Management fees paid to SAT aggregated an additional $2,089,838 during such period.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risk and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements reflect management's current views that the necessary financing will be available, when needed, to complete the research and development program, that the product will be commercialized at the contemplated cost and within the projected timetable, that, during the interim period before the Company begins marketing, competitors will not begin to market a competitive saliva-based testing product and that the other risks described in the Annual Report and other filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission will not materially adversely affect the Company's operations. Because there can be no assurance that management's expectations will be realized, actual results may differ.
