(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS/DEVELOPMENT STAGE Quorum Sciences, Inc. (the Company) is a development stage biotechnology company incorporated in Delaware in April 1998. The Company is leading the development of a fundamentally new approach to anti-infective technology that is based upon the disruption of the chemical signaling that occurs between bacteria cells. The Company's technology is based on research conducted in the University of Iowa-based Laboratory of Peter Greenberg, Ph.D., founder and Chief Scientific Officer of the Company. This research demonstrates that bacterial cell-cell signaling is essential to pathogenic virulence and bacterial biofilm formation -- processes that are basic to most infections and contribute to the long-term establishment of bacterial cell populations, leading to new, more effective antibacterial treatments and even preventives. The mission of Quorum Sciences, Inc. is to lead in the discovery and application of bacterial cell signaling technology for the development of improved anti-infective therapeutic, medical, and other commercial products. The Company is a development stage company devoting substantially all of its efforts to financial planning, raising capital, research and development activities and developing markets. Its planned principal operations are only in the initial stages and have not produced any significant revenue. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Estimates and Assumptions The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the total amount less an allowance for bad debts. The allowance is an amount estimated by management to be adequate to absorb possible losses. No allowance was deemed necessary at December 31, 1999 or 1998. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. Depreciation expense totaled $1,101 in 1999 and $631 in 1998. Costs of Issuing Stock Stock issue costs incurred with third parties that are directly attributable to equity transactions, including private placements, are deducted from the proceeds of the issue. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues from fixed-price research contracts ratably over the period of contract performance. Billings in excess of revenue earned, if any, are reflected on the balance sheet as deferred revenue liability (none at December 31, 1999 or 1998). Cash Flow Statement For purposes of the cash flow statement, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent. There were no cash equivalents. 8 9 QUORUM SCIENCES, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 3. LICENSE AGREEMENT In June 1999 the Company entered into a license agreement with the University of Iowa Research Foundation (UIRF) whereby the Company is granted an exclusive worldwide license, subject to the terms of the agreement, to practice certain patent rights and to manufacture, use and sell licensed products in the commercial market. The term of the agreement and the exclusive license shall be effective until the expiration of the last to expire of the licensed patents (currently 2013). The Company is required to pay all future costs connected with the commercial development of licensed products. Royalties of 4% of the net sales of all licensed products sold are payable to UIRF. For each licensed product that requires FDA approval, the Company will make milestone payments of $100,000 upon completion of Phase 1 Clinical Trials, $250,000 upon completion of Phase II Clinical Trials; $500,000 upon completion of Phase III Clinical Trials and $1,000,000 upon FDA approval. For each licensed product that does not require FDA approval, the Company will pay $100,000 upon execution of the first corporate partnership agreement for product marketing and royalties at a rate of 10% of net sales of each licensed product not to exceed royalties totaling $500,000. Prior to June 2000, the agreement requires a minimum capitalization level of $500,000 and a minimum of one corporate sponsorship of sufficient scale to warrant milestone payments by the partner to the Company. Prior to June 2003, the agreement requires second round financing in excess of $2,000,000 or a minimum of three corporate partnerships that are providing substantial operating revenues equivalent to the $2,000,000 level of financing. The license agreement may be terminated by UIRF in the event of certain nonperformance by the Company. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement by giving a ninety-day notice and is provided a six-month period following the effective date of the termination to sell or otherwise dispose of any licensed products. 4. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs related to both future and current products are charged to operations as incurred. The Company recognized approximately $160,000 and $38,000 of research and development costs in 1999 and 1998, respectively. 5. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes is comprised of current and deferred components. The current component (none in 1999 or 1998) presents the amount of federal and state income taxes which are currently reportable to the respective tax authorities and is measured by applying statutory rates to the Company's taxable income as reported in its income tax returns. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the carrying values of the Company's assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their corresponding income tax basis. The temporary differences give rise to either a deferred tax asset or liability in the financial statements, which is computed by applying statutory tax rates to taxable or deductible temporary differences based upon the classification (i.e., current or non-current) of the asset or liability in the financial statements which relate to the particular temporary difference. Deferred taxes related to differences which are not attributable to a specific asset or liability are classified in accordance with the future period in which they are expected to reverse and be recognized for income tax purposes. The deferred income tax benefit (resulting of net operation loss carry forwards) computed at the statutory rates has been offset by a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of the same amount. 9 10 QUORUM SCIENCES, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 5. INCOME TAXES (continued) Significant components of the Company's deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1999 are as follows: Current deferred income tax asset: Net operating loss carry forward (expiring through 2019) $ 162,000 Valuation allowance (162,000) ---------- Net deferred income tax asset $ -- ========== 6. OPERATING LEASE AGREEMENT/RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION The Company leases laboratory facilities from the University of Iowa under an informal month to month arrangement at a rate of $417 per month. Rent expense under this lease totaled $5,004 in 1999 and $3,315 in 1998. Office facilities are leased from a related party under an informal month to month arrangement at a rate of $1,260 per month. Rent expense under this lease totaled $15,134 in 1999 (none in 1998). 7. COMMITMENT -- CONTRACT RESEARCH The Company performs contract research for customers under fixed-price contracts. There was one such contract in process at December 31, 1999. 8. CONCENTRATIONS The Company had deposits with one bank that exceeded the federally insured limit at December 31, 1999 by approximately $19,000. The Company received substantially all of its contract research revenues from two customers. 9. UNCERTAINTIES, CONTINGENCIES, AND RISKS Application of Bacterial Cell Signaling Technology The Company's development and application of bacterial cell signaling technology is a new approach to anti-infective medical, industrial and consumer products. To date, the Company has not commercialized any anti-infective products using its technology. The anti-infective products are still at the early stages of development. Certain risks inherent in the development of products based on new technologies, including delays in development and testing, unplanned expenditures, failures to receive regulatory approvals, emergence of similar products by competitors, election by collaborative partners not to pursue product development and failure to receive market acceptance, will adversely affect the Company's business. Limited Operating History The Company is an early stage biotechnology company. Operating since August 1998, there have been no significant revenues from operations to date. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that operate in a new and rapidly evolving market. 10 11 QUORUM SCIENCES, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 9. UNCERTAINTIES, CONTINGENCIES, AND RISKS (continued) Intellectual Property The Company's success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain patents, protect trade secrets, operate without infringing upon the proprietary right of others, and prevent others from infringing on its proprietary rights. The Company currently has one patent issued from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It will continue to seek patent protection for any new technologies it develops. The patent process involves complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, it cannot predict with any certainty the enforceability of its current patent or the grant of any future patents. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar technologies or duplicate any technology that the Company has developed. The Company also relies on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that it seeks to protect, in part, through confidential agreements. These agreements may not provide meaningful protection or adequate remedies for its technology in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information. Collaborative Partners The Company's strategy for the development and commercialization of anti-infective products depends, in large part, upon the formation of collaborative arrangements with several collaborative partners. Potential collaborative partners include pharmaceutical and industrial companies, academic institutions and other entities. The Company may not be able to enter into such collaborative arrangements on favorable terms or be able to control the amount and timing of resources collaborative partners may devote to the products and development of the Company's technology. Dependence on Key Executives Quorum Sciences, Inc. is dependent on the services of certain key executives. The loss of one or more of these individuals could have a significant adverse impact on the Company. 11 12 ITEM 7.(b) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION. In October 2000, Aurora Biosciences Corporation completed a merger with Quorum Sciences, Inc., a development stage biotechnology company incorporated in April 1998. Quorum Sciences is developing anti-infective technology based upon the disruption of chemical signaling between bacteria cells. The merger was effected by exchanging 76,924 shares of Aurora common stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Quorum Sciences. Each share of Quorum Sciences was exchanged for approximately 0.028 of one share of Aurora common stock. In addition, outstanding Quorum Sciences stock options were converted at the same exchange factor into options to purchase 4,354 shares of Aurora common stock. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the merger using the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations and are based on the respective historical financial statements and notes thereto of Aurora and Quorum Sciences. To reflect the pooling of interests, the operating results of Quorum Sciences have been combined with Aurora's operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the fiscal periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
