NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
================================================================================
1. CONSOLIDATED In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
FINANCIAL unaudited financial statements include all adjustments
STATEMENTS. (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
periods presented. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the
year ended December 31, 1996. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.
-5-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION.
- ------- -------------------------------
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS. This Quarterly Report
contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding, among other
things, (a) the Company's growth strategies, (b) anticipated trends in the
Company's industry and (c) the Company's future financing plans. In addition,
when used in this Quarterly Report, the words "believes," "anticipates" and
similar words are intended to identify certain forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's expectations and
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the
Company's control. Actual results could differ materially from these
forward-looking statements as a result of changes in trends in the economy and
the Company's industry, reductions in the availability of financing and other
factors. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance
that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report will in
fact occur. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release
the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be
made to reflect any future events or circumstances.
ADDITIONAL FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES. Based solely on expenditures in the
absence of significant product sales, the Company believes that the funds raised
in its initial public offering (the "Offering"), which was closed on December
26, 1996, will last for approximately eighteen months after the date of the
Offering. The Company anticipates, however, that limited product sales will
occur in the year following the Offering. If significant product sales are
realized during the first eighteen months after the Offering, the Company should
not need to raise additional funds within such time period unless the Company
achieves significant and unexpected rapid development of new products which
require additional personnel, capital expenditures and working capital or in the
event of unforeseen difficulties.
SUMMARY OF ANTICIPATED PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Although the
development of new products can never be fully anticipated, the Company believes
that it has a feasible plan for product development during 1997 and 1998. The
major components of this plan are as follows:
1997 . Product launch for modified EpiDNA Picogram Assay kit
(Approximately nine months after the Offering)
. Completion of EpiDNA Nanogram Assay development
. Development of automated production protocols for the
EpiDNA Assays
. Completion of first DNA labeling product for test
marketing in the molecular biology research market
1998 . Continued research in applications of Genetic Vectors'
nucleic acid labeling technology
. Introduction of EpiDNA Nanogram Assay kits and new DNA
labeling products for use in molecular biology research
laboratories
. Research in the application of automated techniques of
DNA analysis for EpiDNA
. Initiation of EasyID DNA probe product development for
quality assurance in the food and beverage industry
-6-
SIGNIFICANT PLANT OR EQUIPMENT PURCHASES. Management anticipates the
purchase of approximately $550,000 of equipment (including approximately
$400,000 of research and development equipment) during 1997 and 1998. The only
items whose cost will exceed $25,000 are a high performance liquid chromatograph
and associated hardware (which is used in the analysis and preparation of high
purity chemicals for both production and research purposes), an autoclave and a
telephone system.
CHANGES IN THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES. The Company has hired a Director of
Manufacturing and a technician in connection with the development of its
manufacturing processes and product development. The Company currently has eight
employees. As shown in the following chart, the Company anticipates hiring
additional personnel during 1997 in connection with its research and development
and product development plan. The Company believes that these personnel will be
adequate to accomplish the tasks set forth in its plan. In 1997 the Company
expects to hire primarily research and development and production personnel
since it does not expect to commence sales of its initial EpiDNA product line
until the fourth quarter of 1997. In 1998, additional sales and production staff
are expected to be hired to meet the Company's sales goals.
