NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2000 and 2001
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in
conjunction with our Form 10-K and Form 8-K/A filings. Operating
results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2001.
In July 2000, Medi-Ject Corporation, now known as Antares Pharma, Inc.
("Antares"), entered into a Purchase Agreement with Permatec Holding AG
("Permatec"), Permatec Pharma AG, Permatec Technology AG (each of the
foregoing, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland), and
Permatec NV (a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands
Antilles). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on January 31, 2001,
Antares purchased all of the outstanding shares of the three Permatec
Subsidiaries (Share Transaction). In exchange, Antares issued 2,900,000
shares of Antares common stock to Permatec. Upon the issuance, Permatec
owned approximately 67% of the outstanding shares of Antares common
stock. For accounting purposes, Permatec is deemed to have acquired
Antares. The financial statements and related disclosures that were
previously reported as Medi-Ject are replaced with the Permatec
financial statements and disclosures. The operating financial history
of Antares is that of Permatec.
Permatec had two other subsidiaries that were not part of the Purchase
Agreement and are in the process of being dissolved. All assets and
liabilities relating to those two subsidiaries remain with Permatec and
are not part of the Share Transaction.
Upon consummation of the transaction, the full principal amount of
Permatec's shareholders' loans to the three Permatec subsidiaries
subject to the Share Transaction, of $13,173,497 at January 31, 2001,
was converted to equity.
Also on January 31, 2001, promissory notes issued by Medi-Ject to
Permatec between January 25, 2000 and January 15, 2001, in the
aggregate principal amount of $5,500,000, were converted into Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C"). Permatec, the holder of the
Series C stock, immediately exercised its right to convert the Series C
stock, and Antares issued 2,750,000 shares of common stock to Permatec
upon such conversion. Also on that date, the name of the corporation
was changed to Antares Pharma, Inc.
The total consideration paid for Medi-Ject was approximately
$6,889,974, which represents the fair market value of Medi-Ject and
related transaction costs of $480,095.
7
ANTARES PHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2000 and 2001
For accounting purposes, the fair value of Medi-Ject is based on the
1,424,729 shares of Medi-Ject common stock outstanding on January 25,
2000, at an average closing price three days before and after such date
of $2.509 per share plus the estimated fair value of the Series A and B
mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock ("Series A and B")
plus the fair value of outstanding stock options and warrants
representing shares of Medi-Ject common stock either vested on January
25, 2000, or that became vested at the close of the Share Transaction
plus the capitalized acquisition cost of Permatec.
The purchase price for Medi-Ject of $6,889,974 was $6,049,546 in excess
of its historical net assets. The Company has engaged a third-party
appraisal firm to determine the fair value of the Series A and B
preferred stock and the allocation of the purchase price to tangible
and intangible assets, liabilities and in-process research and
development activities. As the appraisal was not completed prior to the
filing of this 10-Q, an estimate of the purchase price and its
allocation is not yet determinable. Upon completion of the appraisal,
the Company will amend its March 31, 2001, financial statements to
record the fair value of the Series A and B preferred stock, intangible
asset amortization and an expected charge for acquired in-process
research and development activities.

4. ACCOUNTING FOR LICENSE REVENUES
During the quarter ended December 31, 2000 and effective January 1,
2000, the Company adopted the cumulative deferral method for accounting
for license revenues. The adoption of this accounting principle
resulted in a $1,059,622 cumulative effect adjustment in the first
quarter 2000.
During the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001, the
Company recognized $69,301 and $115,792, respectively, of license
revenues that were previously recognized by the Company prior to the
adoption of the cumulative deferral method.
5. IN-THE-MONEY CONVERSION FEATURE-PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND
During 2000 and 2001, prior to the closing of the Share Transaction on
January 31, 2001, Medi-Ject borrowed a total of $5,500,000 in
convertible promissory notes from Permatec. At the closing of the Share
Transaction, the principal amount of convertible promissory notes
converted to 27,500 shares of Series C. At the option of the holder,
the Series C was immediately converted into 2,750,000 shares of Antares
common stock. As the conversion feature to common stock was contingent
upon the closing of the Share Transaction, the measurement of the
stated conversion feature as compared to the Company's common stock
price of $4.56 at January 31, 2001, resulted in an in-the-money
conversion feature of $5,314,125, which is a deemed dividend to the
Series C preferred shareholder. This dividend increases the net loss
applicable to common shareholders in the Antares' net loss per share
calculation.
6. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH ROGER G. HARRISON, PH.D.
Roger G. Harrison, Ph.D., was appointed to the position of Chief
Executive Officer of Antares Pharma, Inc., effective March 12, 2001.
The terms of the employment agreement with Dr. Harrison include an
annual salary of $275,000 and up to 216,000 restricted shares of common
stock which will be granted after the achievement of certain time-based
and performance-based milestones. In addition, if within twelve months

commencement of his employment the Company sells all or substantially
all of the Company's assets to an unaffiliated third party, or merges

received by the Company from the sale, or (ii) an amount, in cash,
equal to two percent of the value of the aggregate cash, securities or
other consideration distributed to the Company's shareholders in the
merger; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to
make any payment to Dr. Harrison if he is employed as the chief
executive or chief operating officer of the acquiring or surviving
entity in the transaction.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
In July 2000, Medi-Ject Corporation, now known as Antares Pharma, Inc.
("Antares") entered into a Purchase Agreement with Permatec to purchase three
subsidiaries from Permatec. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Antares
purchased all of the outstanding shares of each subsidiary. In exchange, Antares
issued 2,900,000 shares of Antares common stock to Permatec. The Share
Transaction was consummated on January 31, 2001, and was accounted for as a
reverse acquisition since Permatec held approximately 67% of the outstanding
common stock of Antares immediately after the Share Transaction. The financial
statements and related disclosures that were previously reported as Medi-Ject's
are replaced with the Permatec financial statements and disclosures. The
operating financial history of Antares will become that of Permatec.
Accordingly, operating results of Permatec are included in the March 31, 2000
and 2001 financial statements as well as the results of Antares since January
31, 2001. In the discussion below, the historical Permatec operations are
referred to as Antares/Switzerland and the Medi-Ject operations will be referred
to as Antares/Minnesota.
The purchase price for Medi-Ject of $6,889,974 was $6,049,546 in excess of the
book value of its historical net assets. The Company has engaged a third-party
appraisal firm to determine the allocation of the purchase price to tangible and
intangible assets, liabilities and in-process research and development
activities. As the appraisal was not completed prior to the filing of the
Company's March 31, 2001, 10-Q, an estimate of the purchase price allocation has
not yet been determined. Upon completion of the appraisal, the Company will
amend its March 31, 2001, financial statements to record intangible asset
amortization and an expected charge for acquired in-process research and
development activities.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 2001
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001 were $69,301
and $587,169, respectively. The increase in the revenues of $517,868, or 747% is
primarily the result of product sales of $445,090, attributable to the
Antares/Minnesota injection devices. Antares/Switzerland had no product sales in
the first quarter of 2000 and only minimal sales in 2001 due to sales of the
estradiol transdermal patch that started in the fall of 2000.
Licensing and product development fee income increased by $46,491 or 67% in the
three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the prior-year period. All of
the licensing and product development revenue is attributable to recognizing
previously deferred revenue on licensing and product development contracts that
were deferred when the Company adopted the cumulative deferral method of
accounting on January 1, 2000. The variation between periods is due to passing
certain development milestones that allow the recognition of licensing and
development fees previously received.
11
The cost of product sales of $277,714 is primarily attributable to injection
device sales of Antares/Minnesota.
Research and development expenses totaled $227,574 and $541,709 in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The increase of $314,135 or
138% is primarily due to research employee additions at Antares/Switzerland due
to increased research activities and the research costs incurred by
Antares/Minnesota since January 31, 2001.
Marketing and sales expenses totaled $171,235 and $258,666 in the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. This increase of $87,431 or 51% is
primarily due to a decrease in outside marketing travel and consulting expenses
in Antares/Switzerland offset by the addition of Antares/Minnesota marketing and
sales expenses since January 31, 2001.
General and administrative expenses totaled $774,002 and $1,141,587 in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The increase of $367,585 or
47% is primarily due to an increase in Antares/Switzerland administrative
personnel and patent write-off costs, plus the addition of Antares/Minnesota
general and administrative costs since January 31, 2001, of $568,763, offset by
a decrease in Antares/Switzerland restructuring costs.
Net other income (expense) changed $168,731 from a net expense of $152,551 in
first quarter 2000 to a net income of $16,180 in first quarter 2001. First
quarter 2000 was primarily composed of currency losses of Antares/Switzerland
and interest expense. The first quarter 2001 other income (expense) is primarily
composed of interest earnings on funds received in our private placement of
equity offset by currency losses and interest expense.
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities increased by $1,092,950 from $1,263,877 to
$2,356,827 due to the net reduction in current liabilities after private
placement equity funds were received. Net cash used in investing activities
increased $215,354 from $84,230 to $299,584, due primarily to cash loaned to
Medi-Ject before consummating the Share Transaction offset by the cash balance
in Medi-Ject when the Share Transaction was consummated. Net cash provided by
financing activities increased $9,885,366 from $1,198,294 to $11,083,660 due
primarily to the private placement of common stock equity during the period.
Total net cash increased $8,319,438 between periods from a net decrease of
$182,493 to a net increase of $8,136,945.
Liquidity
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, Antares incurred a net
operating loss of $1,632,507 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. In addition,
Antares has incurred net losses and has had negative cash flows from operating
activities since inception. As further described above, Medi-Ject Corporation
acquired three subsidiaries of Permatec in a transaction accounted for as a
reverse acquisition on January 31, 2001. Upon consummation of this transaction,
12
subordinated loans of $13,173,497 were converted to equity and the net
liabilities of two subsidiaries, which aggregate $537,683, not purchased by
Medi-Ject, were assumed by Dr. Jacques Gonella. Through March 5, 2001, the
Company has raised $10 million through private placements of common stock.
Management believes the conversion of subordinated debt to equity and the
raising of private placement funds to provide current working capital, as well
as projected product development and license revenues will provide the Company
with sufficient liquidity well into 2002.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk Disclosure
Market risk, since December 31, 2000, has been reduced due to the conversion of
subordinated loans from shareholders of $13,173,497 and notes receivable from
Medi-Ject of $5,500,000 into equity plus the infusion of cash from the private
placement of common stock of $10,000,000.
Currency Exposure
The Company is subject to foreign currency exposure, primarily with the Swiss
Franc and the Euro. At March 31, 2001, the Company's exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations is not significant and primarily related to the Company's
translation adjustment to convert its Antares/Switzerland financial information
into U.S. dollars.
