AND SUBSIDIARY (a development stage company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) September 30, 1998 (1) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of September 30, 1998 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997. The Company's financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. (2) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ". The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No.133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. A company may also implement the Statement as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after June 16, 1998. SFAS No.133 cannot be applied retroactively. SFAS No.133 must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the Company's election, before January 1, 1998). While the Company operates in international markets, it does so presently without the use of derivatives hedging instruments, and therefore this new pronouncement is not applicable. (3) NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and, if any, potential dilutive common shares. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Diluted EPS for 1997 and 1998 is the same as Basic EPS because the inclusion of stock options and convertible debentures outstanding would be antidilutive. (4) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Stock Options - The following summarizes the stock option activity in all stock option plans for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Shares Price Granted 162,500 $.61 - $1.00 Exercised 0 - Cancelled 5,250 $1.52 - $5.50 Each option entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company. Other Shares and Warrants - In connection with a lease agreement for certain facilities, the Company may, at its option, pay a portion of the annual lease obligation with Class A Common Stock plus warrants. The number of shares of Common Stock is to be computed using the average market price of the Company's Class A Common Stock during the ten days prior to issuance. The warrants are to be exercisable at a price equal to the closing price of the underlying Class A Common Stock on the date the warrant is issued and for a period of four years from the date of issuance. The Company issued 54,293 shares of Class A Common Stock during the quarter ended September 30, 1998, as well as a warrant to purchase 54,293 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $.63 per share. The Company has recorded a noncash charge of $22,000 which represents the fair value of the warrant. (5) LONG TERM LIABILITIES On May 20, 1998, the Company completed a private placement to three accredited investors (the "Investors") of an aggregate of $4,000,000 of 5% Convertible Debentures due May 20, 2001 (the "Debentures"), and three series of Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 261,288 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Warrants"). The Debentures became convertible to the extent of 25% of the principal amount thereof commencing on September 17, 1998, with an additional 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures becoming first convertible on each of October 17, 1998, November 16, 1998 and December 16, 1998 (subject to potential acceleration in certain instances) at a conversion price equal to 87% (if converted before November 17, 1998), 86% (if converted between November 17, 1998 and February 14, 1999), 85% (if converted between February 15, 1999 and May 20, 1999) or 84% (if converted after May 20, 1999), respectively, of the average of the closing bid prices of the Company's Class A Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion of the Debentures (the "Variable Conversion Price"); provided, however, that in no event may the conversion price be greater than $1.9375 per share, which was 125% of such average price over the five consecutive trading days prior to the consummation of the transaction (the "Fixed Conversion Price"). Interest on the Debentures is payable only on maturity, conversion, redemption or when other payment is made on the Debentures in cash or, if registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock valued at the applicable Debenture conversion price. Any Debentures outstanding on May 20, 2001 will be automatically converted into Class A Common Stock of the Company as of that date. In addition, the Company may require conversion of outstanding Debentures after May 20, 2000 if the closing bid price of its Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding its giving of notice of conversion to Debenture holders is at least $3.0625. In the event the Company would be required to issue more than 4,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock upon conversion of all of the Debentures (the "Conversion Limit"), the Company will have the option of: (i) issuing additional shares of Common Stock if stockholder approval has been obtained or if stockholder approval is not required in order to comply with applicable rules of the market upon which its Class A Common Stock is traded or (ii) paying cash to the holder in an amount equal to the principal amount of Debentures being converted plus an amount equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be otherwise issuable upon conversion of the Debentures multiplied by the difference between the highest sales price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of conversion and the applicable Debenture conversion price. In the event of a merger or other business combination or corporate reorganization, as a result of which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto own in the aggregate less than 50% of the voting power of the ultimate parent resulting from such transaction, or the Company transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another person, then the Debenture holders may participate in such transaction as a class on the same basis as if the Debentures had been converted. In the event a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior thereto, the holders of the Debentures are entitled to redeem any outstanding Debentures at a redemption price equal to 115% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures plus accrued interest on the Debentures. The Company also issued to the Investors the Warrants in series entitling the Investors to purchase, at an exercise price of $1.9141 per share, an aggregate of 65,307 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at any time to and including May 19, 2002, 65,307 shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to pro rata reduction to the extent the original principal amount of the Debentures issued to the Investors is not outstanding on the day such Warrant is first exercised) at any time between November 20, 1998 and November 19, 2002, and 130,614 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (subject to pro rata reduction to the extent the original principal amount of the Debentures issued to the Investors is not outstanding on the day such Warrant is first exercised) at any time between May 20, 1999 and May 19, 2003. In conjunction with this offering, the Company incurred both cash and noncash issuance costs totaling $525,000. These issuance costs are being amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the Debentures. Upon conversion of the Debentures, the related unamortized deferred financing costs are charged to paid-in capital. The estimated noncash value of the Warrants; $252,000, has been recorded as additional paid-in capital, while their cost is included in the $525,000 total issuance costs related to these Debentures. In addition, the Company recorded additional paid-in capital and debt discount of $762,000 to reflect the dollar value of the maximum market price conversion discount (16%) related to these Debentures. The debt discount is being amortized and charged to interest expense from May 20, 1998 through May 20, 1999, the period during which the Debentures become 100% convertible and the maximum discount rate becomes applicable. (6) ACQUISITION On April 23, 1998, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Stellar Bio Systems, Inc., ("Stellar"), a manufacturer of immunodiagnostic kits and reagents. The purchase price was $120,000 in cash and $700,000 in Class A Common Stock (398,406 shares were issued) plus future contingent payments of $650,000 in Class A Common Stock to be paid over three years based upon future sales levels of Stellar with the Class A Common Stock to be valued at its market value on the anniversary dates. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method. Stellar is not considered a significant subsidiary under the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations S-X. Results of operations have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired of $604,000 has been allocated to intangible assets and goodwill, and will be amortized over a 10 year period. Any additional future payments required under the contingent earnout provisions of the purchase agreement will be accounted for as additional goodwill and will be amortized over the remaining life of the goodwill. (7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 27, 1998, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 10,800,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to a group of accredited investors at a price of $.25 per share, a price above the market price of the Company's Class A Common Stock at the time. Of such shares, 4,000,000 shares were purchased by Alfred J. Roach, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate price of $1,000,000. The Company has agreed to register the shares issued in the private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), within six months after the issuance of the shares. The $2,700,000 proceeds thereof, together with $1,152,000 of the Company's funds were used to repurchase the remaining $3,248,000 outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest and a 16% premium of the Company's 5% Convertible Debentures and Warrants to purchase 261,228 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, each of which had been issued in May 1998 as part of a private placement of $4,000,000 of such debentures, of which $752,000 has been converted into an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. As a result, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company will record a one time charge to earnings of approximately $1,140,000 for the loss on the early extinguishment of the 5% Convertible Debentures. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Company's results of operations include the results of operations of Stellar Bio Systems, Inc. ("Stellar") from April 23, 1998, the date of its acquisition by the Company. Results of Operations Three Months ended September 30, 1998 The Company's net loss of $1,659,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $45,000 higher than the net loss of $1,614,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997. The increase in the net loss was primarily due to an increase in interest expense ($255,000), an increase in selling, general and administrative expense ($109,000) and a reduction in investment income ($36,000) offset, in large part, by the gross profit ($239,000) of Stellar and of TpP, the Company's Thrombus Precursor Protein diagnostic test and a reduction in research and development expenses ($117,000). Sales during the three months ended September 30, 1998 were $412,000, consisting of sales of Stellar products for a full three months and continued sales of TpP. Stellar was acquired in April 1998 and TpP sales commenced in the fourth quarter of 1997. Accordingly, there were no product sales by the Company in the comparable 1997 period. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was $173,000 or 42% of sales. Research and development expenses decreased $117,000 from $704,000 to $587,000, primarily as a result of reductions in research and development personnel and consulting costs offset, in part, by increases in the cost of TpP clinical studies and point of care (POC) development costs and the inclusion of Stellar for the entire three months of 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $109,000 from $973,000 to $1,082,000, primarily as a result of the inclusion of Stellar for the entire three months of 1998 and increased costs associated with the marketing and promotional effort for TpP. Interest expense increased by $255,000 from $65,000 in the 1997 period to $320,000 in the 1998 period, resulting from an increase in the amortized debt issuance and debenture discount cost component of interest expense ($240,000 and $19,000 during the third quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively). Upon conversion of the Company's convertible debentures ($83,000 and $150,000 during the third quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively), the related unamortized debt issuance costs ($9,000 and $4,000 during the third quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively) are charged to paid-in capital. As a result of the November 1998 repurchase of the Company's 5% Convertible Debentures, ongoing interest expense related to these debentures ceased. The Company will record a one time charge to earnings of approximately $1,140,000 in the fourth quarter of 1998, relating to the early extinguishment of the 5% Convertible Debentures. Investment income decreased $36,000 from $127,000 in the 1997 period to $91,000 in the 1998 period as a result of lower average cash balances offset, in part, by slightly higher interest rates on U.S. Government obligations in which most of the Company s available cash is invested. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 The Company s net loss decreased $1,469,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from a loss of $6,041,000 during the 1997 period to a loss of $4,572,000 in the 1998 period. The reduction in the net loss is attributable to the reduced research and development expenses ($1,013,000), gross profit ($538,000 or 63%) on sales of Stellar products and TpP kits and reduced interest expense ($382,000) offset, in part, by increased selling, general and administrative expenses ($263,000) and reduced investment income ($191,000). Sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $853,000, consisting of sales of Stellar products since the date of acquisition of Stellar in late April 1998 and sales of TpP, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 1997. Accordingly, there were no product sales by the Company in the comparable 1997 period. Revenues during the nine months of 1997 ($9,000) were from the sale of reagents, research materials and services relating to collaborative agreements. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $315,000 or 37% of sales. Research and development expenses decreased $1,013,000 from $2,676,000 to $1,663,000 in the 1998 period primarily due to the absence of costs incurred during the first six months of 1997 relating to the relocation of the Company's research laboratories from South Bend, Indiana to Boston, Massachusetts and reduced consulting costs offset, in part, by increases in the cost of TpP clinical studies and POC development costs. The costs of such relocation included severance, relocation and moving costs as well as duplicate facility costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $263,000 from $2,950,000 in the 1997 period to $3,213,000 in the 1998 period as a result of increased personnel costs, selling expenses relating to the marketing and promotion of TpP and the inclusion of Stellar from April 23, 1998. Interest expense decreased $382,000 from $878,000 in the 1997 period to $496,000 in the 1998 period due to a reduction of $238,000 in amortization of the debt discount ($492,000 related to the Company's 7% Convertible Debentures included in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to $254,000 of amortization related to the Company's 5% Convertible Debentures issued May 20, 1998) and lower outstanding Debentures during the first five months of 1998. Upon the conversion of the Company's Convertible Debentures ($1,783,000 and $8,450,000 during the nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively), the related unamortized debt issuance costs ($33,000 and $357,000 during the nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively) were charged to paid-in capital. As a result of the November 1998 repurchase of the Company's 5% Convertible Debentures, ongoing interest expense related to these debentures ceased. The Company will record a one time charge to earnings of approximately $1,140,000 in the fourth quarter of 1998, relating to the early extinguishment of the 5% Convertible Debentures. Investment income decreased $191,000 from $453,000 in the 1997 period to $262,000 in the 1998 period as a result of lower average cash balances offest, in part, by slightly higher interest rates on U.S. Government obligations in which most of the Company s available cash is invested. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $5,802,000 compared to $6,961,000 at December 31, 1997. The Company's management believes that current working capital will be sufficient to fund its liquidity needs beyond 1998. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company's cash, position decreased by $1,426,000 to $5,695,000. Operating activities used $3,839,000 in cash, resulting primarily from a cash loss of $3,825,000, net of non cash expenses of $747,000, and cash used by a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $14,000. Investing activities used $336,000 in cash (primarily related to the acquisition of Stellar and payments for patent costs and fixed assets). Financing activities provided a net of $2,779,000 in cash, principally from the sale of $4,000,000 principal amount 5% Convertible Debentures for $3,727,000, after expenses, offset, in part, primarily by payments made in lieu of issuing shares of Class A Common Stock to holders of the Company's 7% Convertible Debentures upon conversion thereof. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, $83,000 of the 5% Convertible Debentures, $1,350,000 of the 7% Convertible Debentures and $350,000 of the 8% Convertible Debentures were converted into an aggregate of 1,036,142 Class A Common Stock. On October 27, 1998, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 10,800,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to a group of accredited investors at a price of $.25 per share, a price above the market price of the Company's Class A Common Stock at the time. Of such shares, 4,000,000 shares were purchased by Alfred J. Roach, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate price of $1,000,000. The Company has agreed to register the shares issued in the private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), within six months after the issuance of the shares. The $2,700,000 proceeds thereof, together with $1,152,000 of the Company's funds, were used to repurchase the remaining $3,248,000 outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest and a 16% premium of the Company's 5% Convertible Debentures and Warrants to purchase 261,228 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, each of which had been issued in May 1998 as part of a private placement of $4,000,000 of such debentures, of which $752,000 has been converted into an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. As a result, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company will record a one time charge to earnings of approximately $1,140,000 for the loss on the early extinguishment of the 5% Convertible Debentures. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial expenditures relating to new diagnostic and therapeutic product development, ongoing clinical studies for TpP, marketing and manufacturing of TpP and the Company's FiF reagents and kits, developing point of care (POC) formats for TpP, additional preclinical development of neurological compounds (ABS 103 and ABS 205), additional investment in Stellar's product line by filing 510K's for FDA approval and developing new monoclonal antibodies and products based on the proprietary antigen free mouse technology. In addition, the Company is seeking strategic acquisitions of products and/or companies which may entail the use of cash, issuance of stock or debt. While the Company has begun marketing its products directly, its product development plans still include entering into collaborative, licensing and co-marketing arrangements with other diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies to provide additional funding and clinical expertise to perform tests necessary to obtain regulatory approvals, provide manufacturing expertise and market the Company's products. There can be no assurance that such arrangement will be entered into, or if entered into, that the terms thereof will be favorable to the Company. Without such collaborative, licensing or co- marketing arrangements, additional sources of funding will be required to finance the Company. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or if available, the terms thereof. Year 2000 The Company has been assessing the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its information systems. In connection with these assessments, which are ongoing, the Company has identified potential deficiencies and is addressing them through upgrades and other remediation. In accordance with accounting rules, costs associated with modifying existing computer software for Year 2000 will be expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company is in the process of evaluating the measures being undertaken by its customers and suppliers to address the Year 2000 issues. The Company is not dependent on any one customer nor supplier and believes alternate sources of supply for product components are widely available. The cost of implementing the upgrades and remediations are not expected to be material to the Company's results of operations. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 2. Changes in Securities During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, holders of $83,000 of the Company's 5% Convertible Debentures converted such debentures into 184,524 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The Company believes that the exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), is applicable to the issuances of such shares as such issuances involved a security exchanged by the Company with existing securityholders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchanges. In connection with a lease agreement for certain facilities, the Company may, at its option, pay a portion of the annual lease obligation with Class A Common Stock (the "Issued Shares") plus a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares"). The number of Issued Shares are computed using the average market price of the Company's Class A Common Stock during the ten days prior to issuance. The Warrant Shares are to be exercisable at a price equal to the closing price of the underlying Class A Common Stock on the date the Warrant is issued and for a period of four years from the date of issuance. Pursuant to the lease agreement, on August 28, 1998, the Company issued 54,293 shares of Class A Common Stock and a Warrant to purchase 54,293 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $.63 per share. The purchaser agreed to acquire the Issued Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares for investment and not with a view to the distribution of such securities. In connection therewith, the Company has granted the purchaser certain rights to cause the Warrant Shares to be registered under the Act at the Company's expense. The Company believes that the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act is applicable to the issuance of such securities. On October 27, 1998, after the close of the period covered by this report, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 10,800,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to a group of accredited investors at a price of $.25 per share, a price above the market price of the Company's Class A Common Stock at the time. Of such shares, 4,000,000 shares were purchased by Alfred J. Roach, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. The Company has agreed to register the shares issued in the private placement under the Act, as amended, within six months of the issuance of the shares. The $2,700,000 proceeds thereof, together with $1,152,000 of the Company's funds were used to repurchase the remaining $3,248,000 outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest and a 16% premium of the Company's 5% Convertible Debentures and Warrants to purchase 261,228 shares of the Company's Common Stock, each of which had been issued in May 1998 as part of a private placement of $4,000,000 of such debentures, of which $752,000 had been converted into an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Each of the investors represented to the Company that such investor was acquiring the shares issued to such investors for investment only and not with a view to the distribution of all or any part thereof as the phrases "investment only" and "distribution" have meaning under the Act, and that each is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act. Accordingly, the Company believes that the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act is applicable to the issuance of the shares so issued. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securityholders At a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on November 11, 1998, after the close of the period covered by this Report, stockholders of the Company authorized an Amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a stock combination (reverse split) pursuant to which the Company's outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock would be exchanged for new shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively, in an exchange ratio to be approved by the Board of Directors, ranging from one newly issued share for each four outstanding shares to one newly issued share for each eight outstanding shares by vote of 33,637,605 shares in favor and 3,096,323 shares against, with 139,256 shares abstaining. As a result of the Company's repurchase of all remaining outstanding 5% Convertible Debentures, the second proposal scheduled for consideration at such stockholders meeting (to approve the issuance of more than 4,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of such debentures) became moot and was not considered by stockholders.
