The results of operations for the quarter and the nine month period are not necessarily indicative of results for the year. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Summary Analysis - ---------------- In this third quarter of fiscal year 2000, BIOQUAL (hereinafter, "the Company" or "BIOQUAL") realized net income of $10,153. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2000 totaled $45,455. On December 31, 1999, Diagnon Corporation ("Diagnon") changed its name to BIOQUAL, Inc. The name change was effected as a result of the merger of Diagnon and its wholly owned subsidiary, BIOQUAL, Inc., with Diagnon being the surviving corporation. In the merger Diagnon adopted the name BIOQUAL, Inc. as the name of the surviving entity. The business and operations of BIOQUAL, Inc. will be the same as the consolidated business and operations of Diagnon together with its wholly owned subsidiaries prior to the merger. During the third quarter the following developments occurred: . On December 28, 1999, BIOQUAL renewed its contract to support hepatitis researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The contract entitled "Care and Housing of Hepatitis Research Animals" totals $13,634,742 and extends for seven years to December 2006. . On January 28, 2000, BIOQUAL renewed its contract to support AIDS researchers at the NIAID. The contract entitled "Care and Housing of AIDS Research Animals" totals $10,798,411 and extends for seven years to January 2007. . On February 29, 2000, the Company renewed its contract to support infectious disease researchers at the NIAID. The contract entitled "Facility for Animals Used in Infectious Disease Research" totals $6,298,647 and extends for seven years to February 2007. Subsequent to the end of the quarter the following developments occurred: . On March 2, 2000, the Company was awarded a $99,153 Phase I grant from the National Institutes of Health as part of its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The six month grant 6 is to identify and characterize DNA sequence variation in chimpanzees at four genes that contain mutations implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease. . The NIAID contract, "MAO/Evaluation of AIDS Vaccines in Non-Human Primates" expired on March 31, 2000. This contract accounts for approximately 1% of the Company's projected revenues for fiscal year 2000. The expiration of this contract will have minimal effect on the Company's revenues and operating capital. Year 2000 - --------- The Company performed an internal assessment of the scope of the Year 2000 computer systems and software problems and its potential effect on the operation of the Company. The Company continues to monitor its information and non- information systems for signs of malfunction due to the Year 2000 computer problem. The Company has not encountered any delays of service or non-service from its major suppliers of products and services, however there can be no assurance that the Company will not be affected by another company's Year 2000 non-compliance. The Company spent approximately $20,000 in fiscal year 1999 and approximately $23,000 to date in fiscal year 2000 to replace non-compliant computers and software. Any costs incurred in connection with Year 2000 compliance were expensed as incurred. It is the opinion of management that the Year 2000 computer problem will not have a material effect on the Company's operation. However, the Company continues to monitor the status of its largest customer, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), regarding Year 2000 compliance. The NIH states that all of its mission critical systems and 98% of its non-mission critical systems are currently compliant. However, if the NIH does experience Year 2000 related problems, the Company's financial condition may be adversely affected until such time that the NIH's non-compliant contingency plan is initiated. Not all instances of date failure can be anticipated or controlled. In planning for the most reasonably likely worst-case scenario, (e.g. NIH systems being non- compliant after January 1, 2000), or in cases which, despite our efforts, failures occur, we have developed a contingency plan. The contingency plan includes the stockpiling of critical materials necessary to maintain operations. Results of Operations - --------------------- Three Months Comparison - ----------------------- For the three months of operations ended February 29, 2000 (the Company's third quarter in fiscal year 2000), contract revenues increased by 8.2% or $217,731 to $2,867,429 compared to $2,649,698 in the third quarter of fiscal year 1999. This increase was due to increased government contract activity including approximately $69,000 in costs incurred related to a toxicity study which began this quarter. However, the increase is not as large as anticipated due to a decrease in the number of commercial contracts compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 1999 and the expiration of a major contract on November 8, 1998. Product sales increased to $55,299 for the quarter ended February 29, 2000 compared to $35,897 for the same quarter in fiscal year 1999. 7 Contract operating expenses increased 8.1% or $170,268 compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 1999 primarily due to increased government contract activity (including the $69,000 in costs incurred related to a toxicity study as mentioned above), an increase in overhead expenses supporting the equine production facility of approximately $35,000 compared to the third quarter in fiscal year 1999, offset by the decrease in commercial contracts. Cost of goods sold increased to $40,892 from $27,253 in the third quarter of fiscal year 1999. This increase was primarily due to the increase in units sold during this fiscal year. Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased to $33,947 compared to $54,749 in the third quarter of fiscal year 1999. This decrease is primarily due to the temporary reassignment of R&D staff to prepare Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant proposals to possibly provide additional funding for the research associated with the high throughput assay system currently being developed by the Company's Department of Discovery Research. General and administrative expenses increased 17.7% compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 1999 primarily due to inflationary increases in several items of expense plus the increased costs associated with the preparation of the SBIR grant proposals this quarter compared to fiscal year 1999. Total operating expenses increased 9.3% due to the above. Operating income decreased to $30,389 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared to $38,341 in the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the following factors: 1) the increase in contract expenses without a comparative increase in related contract revenues resulting in a decrease in the gross margin percentage on contracts this fiscal year, 2) the increase in overhead expenses supporting the equine production facility of approximately $35,000, offset by 3) the increase in government contract activity. For this quarter, the Company had interest expense of $14,387 compared to interest expense of $16,067 in the prior year. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", the Company reported a deferred federal income tax expense of $4,000 for the three months ended February 29, 2000. The Company made a provision for state income tax which is estimated at $3,000. State income tax expense is reimbursable under government contracting regulations. Earnings Per Share (EPS) - For the three month comparison, options to purchase 29,502 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.8875 per share to $3.375 per share were outstanding on February 29, 2000 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the option exercise prices were greater than the market price of the common shares. Options to purchase 59,345 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.80 per share to $3.375 per share were outstanding on February 28, 1999 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the option exercise prices were greater than the market price of the common shares. Nine Month Comparison - --------------------- For the nine months of operations ended February 29, 2000, contract revenues increased by 6.7% or $536,540 to $8,564,407 compared to $8,027,867 for the first nine months of fiscal year 1999. This increase was due to increased government contract activity including two one-time 8 purchases totaling approximately $210,000 during the second quarter of this fiscal year and $69,000 in costs incurred related to a toxicity study which began during the third quarter of this fiscal year. However, the increase is not as large as anticipated due to a decrease in the number of commercial contracts compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 1999, the end of a major contract on November 8, 1998, the fiscal year 1999 funding of a $34,976 indirect rate variance cost overrun of a contract that expired in fiscal year 1995 (the contract was administratively closed out on September 30, 1998), and a fiscal year 2000 reserve for a $50,000 cost overrun, due to indirect cost variances, on a contract that expired on December 27, 1999. Product sales increased to $94,809 for the nine month period ending February 29, 2000 compared to $42,975 for the same period in fiscal year 1999. Contract operating expenses increased 10.5% or $647,166 compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 1999 primarily due to increased government contract activity (including the two one-time purchases totaling approximately $210,000 and the $69,000 toxicity study mentioned above), an increase in overhead expenses supporting the equine production facility of approximately $95,000 compared to the first nine months in fiscal year 1999, offset by the decrease in commercial contracts. Cost of goods sold increased to $76,932 from $36,643 in the first nine months of fiscal year 1999. This increase was primarily due to the increase in units sold during this fiscal year and the expensing of 22 free doses of Eqstend. Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased to $134,818 compared to $140,956 in the first nine months of fiscal year 1999. This decrease is primarily due to the temporary reassignment of R&D staff (during the third quarter of fiscal year 2000) to prepare Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant proposals to possibly provide additional funding for the research associated with the high throughput assay system currently being developed by the Company's Department of Discovery Research as previously mentioned. General and administrative expenses increased 8.6% compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 1999 primarily due to inflationary increases in several items of expense plus the increased costs associated with the preparation of the SBIR grant proposals during the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared to fiscal year 1999, offset by a decrease in legal expenses during this year compared to fiscal year 1999. Total operating expenses increased 10.4% due to the above. Operating income decreased to $115,678 for the nine month period ending February 29, 2000 compared to $328,648 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to several factors: 1) the increase in contract expenses without a comparative increase in related contract revenues resulting in a decrease in the gross margin percentage on contracts this fiscal year, 2) the increase in overhead expenses supporting the equine production facility of approximately $95,000, 3) the reserve for a $50,000 cost overrun, due to indirect cost variances, on a contract that ended on December 27, 1999 and 4) $34,976 increased funding to cover an indirect cost overrun for an expired contract during the previous fiscal year as mentioned above. For the nine months of this fiscal year, the Company had interest expense of $41,994 compared to interest expense of $41,471 in the prior year. 9 In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", the Company reported a deferred federal income tax expense of $9,000 for the nine months ended February 29, 2000. The Company made a provision for state income tax which is estimated at $22,000. State income tax expense is reimbursable under government contracting regulations. Earnings Per Share (EPS) - For the nine month comparison, options to purchase 29,502 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.8875 per share to $3.375 per share were outstanding on February 29, 2000 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the option exercise prices were greater than the market price of the common shares. Options to purchase 59,345 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.80 per share to $3.375 per share were outstanding on February 28, 1999 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the option exercise prices were greater than the market price of the common shares. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Assets The changes in cash and cash equivalents are detailed in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows on page 5. Total assets increased $269,953 from $4,623,734 at May 31, 1999 to $4,893,687 at February 29, 2000. This amount was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $188,636 consisting mainly of 1) an increase of $318,176 in trade accounts receivable reflecting a slower collection rate compared to the previous fiscal year end, 2) a $121,782 net decrease in unbilled accounts receivable (current plus noncurrent) primarily resulting from a $1,427 increase in reimbursable indirect rate variances for the current fiscal year, a net $92,976 decrease in month end accrued sales on accrued direct labor comparing the current period and the accrual at the end of fiscal year 1999, the recording of $19,767 unbilled contract fee retention to be billed at the completion of the respective contracts, and a $50,000 reserve for a cost overrun, due to indirect rate variances from prior years, on a contract that expired on December 27, 1999, and 3) a $7,758 decrease in other accounts receivable. Prepaid expenses increased $7,535 primarily due to the prepayment of life insurance premiums. Fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization increased $144,077 reflecting fixed asset purchases of $367,234 (mainly nonhuman primate enclosures, lab equipment, and facility improvements) offset by depreciation and amortization of $223,157. The above increase is partially offset by 1) a decrease in loans to officers of $32,906 due to payments made during the this fiscal year, 2) a deferred income tax decrease of $9,000 primarily as a result of utilizing a portion of the federal income tax loss carryforward, and 3) a $30,806 decrease to inventories. The balance of the increase was due to other miscellaneous factors. Liabilities In the first nine months of operations, total liabilities increased $256,244 from $1,127,598 at May 31, 1999 to $1,383,842 at February 29, 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase to borrowings under line-of- credit of $549,847 reflecting the slow 10 collection of trade accounts receivable and the payment of accrued bonuses from the previous fiscal year. The above increase is partially offset by 1) a decrease in accrued compensation and related costs of $187,975 reflecting the payment of accrued bonuses from fiscal year 1999 during the first quarter of this fiscal year and a shorter accrual period at the end of the quarter compared to the prior fiscal year end. 2) payments totaling $51,553 on capital leases reducing long-term debt, 3) a decrease in accrued income taxes of $24,281, 4) a decrease in accounts payable of $22,780, and 5) a decrease in other accrued liabilities of $7,014. The balance of the increase was due to other miscellaneous factors. Stockholders' Equity During the second quarter the company paid a cash dividend totaling $17,363 to shareholders of record as of September 7, 1999. Capital Resources The Company believes it has sufficient cash and financing sources to provide for its ongoing operations and the Company continues to believe that the impact of inflation, or the absence of it, will have no significant effect on its operations. Forward Looking Information Statements herein that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward looking and subject to risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors including those set forth in BIOQUAL's Securities and Exchange Commission filings under "Risk Factors", including risks relating to the early stage of products under development; uncertainties relating to clinical trials; dependence on third parties' future capital needs; and risks relating to the commercialization, if any, of BIOQUAL's proposed products (such as marketing, safety, regulatory, patent, product liability, supply, competition and other risks).
