NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- FEBRUARY 28, 2002
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.
The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed
by the Company and other information is contained in the notes to the Company's
financial statements filed as part of the Company's August 31, 2001 Form 10-KSB.
This quarterly report should be read in connection with such annual report.
NOTE B - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting the statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
NOTE C - SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
As of February 28, 2002, the Company had investments of $175,000 in
certificates of deposit. Certificates of deposit are made only with the highest
rated banks. The Company also utilizes a money market fund, which is restricted
by its charter to Tier 1 instruments, for a portion of its investments. At times
throughout the year, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and certificates of
deposit in financial institutions may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The Company
has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
NOTE D - NOTES PAYABLE BANK
During April 1997 the Company borrowed $100,000 from a local bank with the
proceeds used for financing a portion of the tenants' improvements in the
Company's new facility. In February 2001 the loan was renegotiated with a
different Bank. The new loan is secured by a certificate of deposit at this
bank. The interest rate for this loan, currently 5.5%, is tied to the
certificate of deposit rate.
NOTE E - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options for 307,000 shares
were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the results
were antidilutive.

ITEM 2--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
a. BACKGROUND AND PRODUCTS
In January 2001 Celox Laboratories, Inc. and Protide Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
merged with the surviving corporation named Protide Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Protide Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Protide" or the "Company") is a
biotechnology company devoted to the discovery, development and
commercialization of technologies and processes in clinical cell therapy and
transfusion medicine, specifically in the areas of cancer, genetic disorders,
cell engineering and transplantation. The focus of Protide is in the area of
gene therapy, cell therapy and contract manufacturing for companies and
educational institutions that are working in these areas.
Celox Laboratories, Inc. will continue to market products that are sold for
research purposes. Celox was formed in 1985 as a Company that researches,
develops, manufactures, and markets cell biology products that are used in the
propagation of cells derived from mammals, including humans, and other species.
These specialized cell growth products are used primarily in academic,
pharmaceutical and other commercial laboratories to improve the growth,
productivity and quality of cell-derived medical and other biological products
such as vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, interferons, and human growth factor.
Since its inception, the Company has pursued a strategy of developing non-serum
based products for the growth of human and other mammalian cells which
management believes will have significant commercial potential.
The Company markets more than 20 different products. The Company's
proprietary products consist of six different serum-free supplements: TCM(TM),
TM-235(TM), TCH(TM), Nephrigen(TM), HemaPro(TM) and VaxMax(TM)and two cell
freezing solutions, Cellvation(TM) and pZerve(TM). VaxMax(TM), introduced in
September of 1993, was developed specifically for use in the production of
veterinary vaccines. Nephrigen(TM) was introduced in fiscal 1998 and is a
serum-free growth medium developed specifically for the culturing of Human
Embryonic Kidney (293) cells. As part of the Nephrigen(TM) system, the Company
also introduced a non-enzymatic dissociation solution that is used instead of an
enzyme such as trypsin. HemaPro(TM) was also introduced in fiscal 1998 and is a
low protein, serum-free medium for clonogenic assays or EX VIVO expansion of
human progenitor cells. The Company intends to obtain IN VITRO diagnostic status
for HemaPro(TM). pZerve(TM) was introduced in 1999 and is used primarily for
cryopreserving human cells. pZerve(TM) is used as a research product only, it is
not for human use. An additional proposed clinical product, ViaStem(TM), has
completed preclinical testing. This product was developed to improve the
preservation of critical cells (e.g., stem cells), which are required for bone
marrow transplantation.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001 the Company introduced the new
product STEMSOL(TM). STEMSOL(TM) is a sterile filtered, USP Grade Dimethyl
Sulfoxide (DMSO) used in a cryopreservation solution for, among other things,
bone marrow, peripheral-blood stem cells and cord blood preservations. In
addition, DMSO/Dextran was introduced in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and is
also used as a cryopreservative for these critical cells.
The Company has received a Drug Master File classification from the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) for TCM(TM). This classification will expedite the
FDA approval process for customers who want to use the Company's TCM(TM) product
for manufacturing purposes.
9
The Company also manufactures five basal media formulations, a series of
buffered saline solutions, other cell biology reagents, and a variety of custom
formulations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company entered into an
agreement to manufacture specialized solutions for the processing of pancreatic
islet cells for transplants. These cells may be used instead of whole organ
transplants. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002 an order was received from
a second transplant center for these specialized solutions. The revenue from
this order was reflected in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
b. VIASTEM(TM)
In March 1995, the Company filed a patent application for ViaStem(TM) in
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company received the U.S. Patent in
early December 1996. This patent provides protection of the Company's
ViaStem(TM) technology through March of 2015. A second U.S. Patent was received
in August 1998. This second patent broadened the patented uses of ViaStem(TM) in
bone marrow transplantation and related therapies. The Company has also filed
the documents needed for an International Patent Application as required by the
Patent Cooperation Treaty. In October 1998 the Company received notice from the
New Zealand and Australian Patent Office that a patent on ViaStem(TM) had been
granted by each of the respective countries. In March 2000 notice was received
from the Patent Office in Canada that a patent had been issued for ViaStem(TM).
The Company received notice from the Russian Patent Office in May 2000 of the
official issue date for the patent for ViaStem(TM) in Russia. In March 2002 a
patent for ViaStem(TM) was received from the Mexican Patent Office. Protide
received notice from the Japan Patent Office that a patent on ViaStem(TM) had
been granted in Japan. Initial reports from other countries that have reviewed
the international patent application have been positive. Due to the unique
nature of ViaStem(TM), the Company pursued the patent process for this product.
On March 31, 2000, Protide Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the wholly owned
subsidiary of Celox) entered into an agreement with Fairview-University Medical
Center (FUMC), Minneapolis, MN. FUMC will provide collecting, processing and
assaying of human peripheral blood stem cells as part of Protide's clinical
investigation of ViaStem(TM). In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company
named a new Principal Investigator (PI) at the University of Minnesota to
complete the additional information requested by the FDA after the depature of
the original PI from the University.
During May 2000 the Company submitted an application to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) to initiate human clinical trials for ViaStem(TM). This was
the first submission ever made by the Company to the FDA for testing in human
subjects. In August 2000 the Company announced that it had received notice from
the FDA that the clinical trial on had been placed on clinical hold pending
further information. The Company intends to submit the additional requested
information to the FDA in the near future.
c. DISTRIBUTION/MARKETING
The Company continues to sell its products on a direct basis to customers
around the world. In addition the Company has formed the following distribution
avenues:
The Company has a nonexclusive worldwide distribution agreement with ICN
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE:ICN), Costa Mesa, CA. Under the agreement, ICN is
marketing Celox' TCM(TM), TCH(TM), TM-235(TM) serum replacement products as well
as Cellvation(TM). The Company has also entered into an agreement with ICN to
custom manufacture certain of the Company's basal media and balanced salt
solutions to ICN for worldwide distribution. ICN manufactures and markets a
broad range of prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, medical
diagnostic products and biotechnology research products in North and Latin
America, Eastern and Western Europe and the Pacific Rim countries.
10
In 1997, the Company began providing its proprietary products to Sigma
Chemical Company (NASDAQ:SIAL), St. Louis, MO. under a private label
distribution agreement for worldwide distribution.
In 1997, the Company entered into a nonexclusive distribution agreement
with TaKaRa Shuzo Co., Ltd., Biomedical Group, Kyoto, Japan. Under the
agreement, TaKaRa will initially market Celox' proprietary product
Cellvation(TM). TaKaRa's Biomedical Group leads the industry in several areas
owing to the international scope of its research operations which span from the
People's Republic of China to North America and Europe. TaKaRa will market
Cellvation(TM) in Japan, Taiwan, Korea and People's Republic of China.
The Company also has distribution of its products in Japan through
Funakoshi Co., LTD, a well- established Japanese distributor.
In March 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with SciQuest.com,
Inc. (NASDAQ:SQST) to sell its products online. This agreement was canceled in
the third quarter of fiscal 2001 after SciQuest.com made changes to the
agreement which were unfavorable to Protide.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the quarter ended February 28, 2002, the Company had net sales of
$118,245 which was an increase of $67,784 or 134% from $50,461 reported in the
same quarter for the prior year. For the six month period ended February 28,
2002 net sales totaled $161,940 resulting in an increase of $62,760 (63%) from
$99,180 reported in the comparable period in the previous fiscal period. The
increase between years for both of the reporting periods results primarily from
the amount and timing of custom orders, orders received from distributors and
increased sales of the new products.
The Company had a net loss of $49,821 for the quarter ended February 28,
2002 compared to a net loss of $86,556 for the same period in the previous year.
For the six months ended February 28, 2002 the Company had a net loss of
$145,962 compared to $156,837 for the comparable period in the previous year.
The decreased loss for both of the reporting periods results from substantially
increased sales coupled with reduced operating expenses offset by a decrease in
other income of $16,894 for the six month reporting period. The six month period
in the previous year included the receipt of a check in the amount of $20,539
from the KPMG Litigation Settlement Fund in fiscal 2001. This check was the
result of a settlement with the Piper Jaffray Institutional Government Fund's
auditors, KPMG. The check was recognized as other income in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001. On a per share basis, the loss for the quarter ended February 28,
2002 equaled 1 cent versus a 2 cent loss in the comparable period in fiscal
2001. For the six months ended February 28, 2002 the Company had a 4 cent loss
per share compared to a 4 cent loss per share in the comparable period in the
previous year.
The cost of products sold was $52,140 or 44% of net sales for the three
months ended February 28, 2002, as compared to $19,512 or 39% of net sales for
the three months ended February 28, 2001 The cost of products sold for the six
months ended February 28, 2002 was $73,086 or 45% of net sales compared to
$40,395 or 41% of net sales for the six months ended February 28, 2001. The
increased percentage for the current quarter and the six month reporting period
results from the mix of products sold.
An operating loss of $54,358 was generated for the quarter ended February
28, 2002 compared to an operating loss of $92,628 for the same period in the
previous year. For the six months ended February 28, 2002 an operating loss of
$151,593 was incurred compared to an operating loss of $189,833 for the six
months ended February 28, 2002. The decrease between years for the three month
and six reporting periods resulted from substantial sales increases along with
decreases in administrative and research and development expenses offset by
increased marketing and sales expenses associated with the introduction of new
products.
11
The Company received interest and investment income of $1,745 during the
quarter ended February 28, 2002 as compared to $6,756 in the prior year. For the
six month period ended February 28, 2002 the Company received $3,861 in interest
and investment income compared to $14,178 received in the comparable period in
the previous year. Investment income is derived primarily from the investment of
the proceeds of the Company's March 1992 initial public offering as well as from
subsequent private placements. The decrease in investment income during the
quarter and the six month reporting period as compared to the previous year
results from significantly lower interest rates available for investment
balances.
Operating expenses decreased $3,114 (3%) to $120,463 from $123,577 for the
quarter ended February 28, 2002 as compared to the prior year. For the six
months ended February 28, 2002 operating expenses decreased by $8,171 to
$240,447 from $248,618 in the previous year. The decrease for the three month
reporting period as well as the six month period as compared to the prior fiscal
year results from lower administrative expenses and lower research and
development expenses offset by an increase in marketing and sales costs, which
fluctuate based on timing of promotional activities.
Research and development costs decreased by $4,997 (11%) to $38,486 from
$43,483 in the current quarter as compared to the previous fiscal year. For the
six month period, research and development costs decreased by $4,767 to $74,107
from $78,874 in the previous year. The decrease for the current quarter and the
six month period reflects lower expenditures in the areas of salaries and
professional fees as compared to the prior year. The Company expects the costs
of research and development to fluctuate based on the status of preclinical and
clinical trials for ViaStem(TM).
Marketing expenses increased by $2,485 (10%) to $26,747 from $24,262 for
the quarter ended February 28, 2002 as compared to the previous year. For the
six months ended February 28, 2002, marketing expenses increased by $6,921 to
$56,116 from $49,195 in fiscal 2001. The increase for the current quarter and
the six month reporting period as compared to the previous year results
primarily from promotional activities connected with the marketing of
STEMSOL(TM) and DMSO/Dextran, a companion product, during the quarter. The
Company expects that marketing and sales expenses will fluctuate based on
introduction of new products, new studies, and as new advertising materials are
developed.
Administrative expenses decreased by $602 (1%) for the quarter ended
February 28, 2002 compared to the previous fiscal year to $55,230 from $55,832
Administrative expenses decreased by $10,325 (9%) to $110,224 from $120,549 in
the current six month reporting period as compared to the previous year. The
decrease for both the three month reporting period and the six month reporting
period is due to the amount and timing of legal and professional fees expended
in connection with the introduction of new products, agreements and matters
related to the advancement of ViaStem(TM).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital resources on hand at February 28, 2002 include cash and short-term
investments of $263,055 and net working capital of $296,125. This represents a
decrease of $149,145 (36%) in cash and short-term investments and a decrease of
$65,007 (18%) in net working capital as compared to August 31, 2001.
The Company is leasing approximately 9,500 square feet of office,
laboratory and warehouse space in St. Paul, MN under a seven year lease. The
Company moved into the new facility during March 1997. As partial payment for
tenant improvements in the new facility, the Company borrowed $100,000 from a
local bank. In February 2000 the loan was renegotiated with a different bank.
The new loan is secured by a certificate of deposit at this bank. The interest
rate for this loan, currently 4%, is tied to the certificate of deposit rate.
The loan is for a one year term with a maturity in February 2003. The balance of
the tenant improvements over this amount was paid with Company funds.
12
During the second quarter of fiscal 2000 the Company raised $175,150 in
additional capital by selling 145,000 units at $1.15 per unit to five investors
through a private placement. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock
and a warrant to purchase an additional two shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.10 per share.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2000 additional funds in the amount of
$211,750 were raised by selling units at $1.15 per unit and common stock at
$1.40 per share to other investors in a private placement. The additional funds
raised will be primarily used for advancing ViaStem(TM) through the necessary
testing before FDA approval can be obtained.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, an additional 50,000 shares were
issued as a result of a private placement participant exercising warrants.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company sold subscriptions
for 157,659 units of common stock and a warrant at $0.47 per unit in a private
offering.
The Company sold additional subscriptions for 53,200 units of common stock
and a warrant for $0.47 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and additional
subscriptions for 85,106 units of common stock and a warrant for $0.47 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2002.
The Company intends to pursue additional financing, subject to prevailing
market conditions. There is no guarantee however, that the Company will be able
to successfully raise an adequate amount of additional funds with terms that are
favorable to the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain the necessary FDA approvals for ViaStem(TM).
The Company anticipates spending approximately $20,000 during fiscal 2002
on capital expenditures. Through February 2002 the Company has made no capital
expenditures. The majority of the planned expenditures will be used to fund new
products, research and development and manufacturing growth. The Company
believes that its capital resources on hand at February 28, 2002 together with
revenues from product sales, will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements
for the fiscal year.
