PART I

ITEM 1— BUSINESS

Overview

Senetek PLC, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company” which may be referred to as “Senetek”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), is a public limited company organized under the laws of England in 1983 (registration number 1759068). Senetek has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Senetek Drug Delivery Technologies Inc. (“SSDT”) and Senetek Asia (HK) Limited, corporations formed by Senetek under the laws of Delaware and Hong Kong, respectively, and Carme Cosmeceutical Sciences Inc. (“CCSI”), a Delaware corporation acquired by Senetek in 1995.

You should read the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 14 of this document to ensure you understand the risks associated with the Company. For detailed financial information, please consult the Company’s financial statements included in this annual report.

Our corporate website is located at www.senetekplc.com. Our annual reports on Form 10-K for the 2001 and 2000 fiscal years are available on the website. Our other SEC filings maybe be obtained from us in electronic or paper format free of charge by writing us at ir@senetek.net or at Investor Relations, 620 Airpark Road, Napa, California, 94558.

Senetek is a life sciences-driven enterprise engaged in developing and marketing proprietary products that fulfill important unmet consumer needs related to aging. Our business is comprised of two business segments: dermatological/skincare compounds principally addressing photoaging and other skincare needs (the “Skincare Segment”); and biopharmaceuticals, currently principally those addressing sexual dysfunction (the “Pharmaceuticals Segment”).

Management remains committed to the program to build high-margin recurring revenue streams with sustained profitability by focusing our resources on developing and gaining marketing approvals of our core biopharmaceuticals and drug delivery technologies while building a global, royalty-based distribution system across all channels of trade for our core skincare technology. As an adjunct to this program we have out-licensed the development and marketing of our non-core biopharmaceutical and consumer products and reduced general and administrative expense.

Dermatological and Skincare

Skincare Technology

We have developed and patented multiple Cytokinins, including Kinetin and Zeatin, plant growth factors that are naturally occurring in humans.

Kinetin (N6-furfuryladenine) has been found to retard aging of plants and, in research done on human skin fibroblasts, Kinetin delayed the signs of cell aging, multi-nucleation and loss of organizational structure, as well as other biochemical and morphologic changes associated with aging. Kinetin also has been shown to be a powerful antioxidant, acting as a free radical scavenger. In clinical studies conducted over the past two years at the University of California, Irvine, Kinetin showed good-to-excellent response rates in partially reversing the clinical signs of photodamage, including the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and in contrast to other anti-aging products such as retinoids and alpha-hydroxy acids, Kinetin did not produce any clinical signs or symptoms of skin irritation, did not result in skin sensitivity to the sun, and did not break down the skin’s natural barrier to moisture loss; in fact, it improved the moisture barrier.

Zeatin, currently under development, is an analogue of Kinetin with preliminary in vitro data suggesting that it may be more active than Kinetin at higher concentrations. We have identified potential uses for Zeatin and are in discussions with potential future licensees regarding development programs.

We are continually evaluating other applications for Kinetin and its analogues in collaboration with our research partners.

On January 23, 2003, we acquired additional patent rights for systemic applications of Cytokinins to include injection therapy along with expanded indications for inflammatory diseases.

Our strategy is to build a global distribution system across all channels of distribution for our core skincare technology.

In June 1998, we granted Osmotics Corporation (“Osmotics”) an exclusive license to market Kinetin-based products to the worldwide prestige market, comprised of department stores and perfumeries, in exchange for specified royalties. The license also required Osmotics to source licensed products exclusively from Senetek or its designated contract manufacturer. In February 1999 Osmotics launched a line of Kinetin-based products, but on January 20, 2000, we notified Osmotics that the license was terminated due to material breach of its terms by Osmotics, including sales outside of the prestige channel of distribution and non-payment of royalties. In May 2001, the parties entered into a settlement of all disputes providing, among other things, for payment by Osmotics of back royalties and the grant by Senetek of a non-exclusive license for the remaining terms of the underlying patents to manufacture and market specified Kinetin-based products to the prestige class of trade worldwide in exchange for specified royalties.

In October 1998, we granted ICN Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“ICN”) a worldwide license to market Kinetin in the ethical skincare market. The ICN license agreement provides for royalties on ICN’s net sales of licensed products within its class of trade and a supply agreement requiring ICN to source its products from Senetek with prescribed minimums. In March 1999, ICN launched Kinerase in the United States and Canada, followed by launches in Argentina and Mexico.

In November 1999, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (“Obagi”) for the exclusive marketing and distribution of specified Kinetin-based products in the mass market channel of distribution in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, the Philippines and other designated Asian countries and in the multi-level marketing channel of distribution in Taiwan, in exchange for a licensing fee, paid in installments in 1999 and 2000, and specified royalties on Obagi’s net sales of licensed products. In March 2000, Obagi entered into a joint venture with Rohto Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Rohto”), a

2

Table of Contents

publicly traded company based in Osaka, Japan, providing for the latter to market Kinetin-based products in Japan, and Obagi subsequently launched Kinetin-based products in Taiwan and South Korea. On April 12, 2001, OMP Inc. (“OMP”), the successor to Obagi, filed suit against Senetek alleging breach of the license, and on July 23, 2001 Senetek filed suit against OMP. The litigation was settled in January 2002 for a $375,000 lump sum settlement payment to Senetek for past royalties. Additionally, during the remainder of 2002 Senetek collected an additional $248,000 related to past royalties. The parties agreed to terminate the original license agreement and to use best efforts to negotiate a new license agreement, to which Rohto would also be a party. The parties failed to reach agreement on this and Senetek ceased all contractual relationships with OMP and Rohto on May 31, 2002. We believe our patents in Japan have been violated and we are taking appropriate legal action to remedy this. All countries, except Japan, included in the territory granted to Obagi by the original license agreement were surrendered in the January 2002 settlement and, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s license agreement with Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (“Revlon”) described below, became part of the territory granted, thereunder.

In May 2000, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Buth-Na-Bodhaige, Inc., doing business as The Body Shop. Under the terms of the license agreement as amended in November 2000, The Body Shop was granted the exclusive right to sell Kinetin-based products supplied by Senetek in The Body Shop retail stores in North America, in The Body Shop’s catalogue and on The Body Shop’s Internet website, in exchange for a specified royalty based on the suggested retail prices of products sold by The Body Shop to consumers. The Body Shop launched its initial line of licensed products in April 2001.

On November 4, 2002, we signed an expansion of the license agreement with The Body Shop, under which The Body Shop will launch its Kinetin line of exclusively formulated skin care products in its retail stores, kiosks, catalogs and websites throughout Europe and Asia. The launch took place in the United Kingdom during the fourth quarter of 2002.

On June 8, 2000, we entered into a license agreement with Revlon for the remaining term of the principal covered patents, in consideration of a license fee, paid at signing, of $3 million. In connection with this agreement we granted Revlon warrants to purchase one million Ordinary shares in Senetek at a price of $6 per share. Under the agreement as amended in February 2001, and giving effect to Revlon’s assumption of territories surrendered by OMP under its license as described above, Revlon was granted exclusive rights throughout the world, excluding Japan, to sell specified Kinetin-based products in the mass market class of trade, subject to Revlon’s royalty payments meeting certain minimums and subject to such grant becoming non-exclusive as to any specified sub-territory outside of the United States if Revlon fails to make a significant launch of covered products in such sub-territory by June 30, 2003. The agreement also grants Revlon non-exclusive rights to sell such products in perfumeries and department stores in Europe, South and Central America, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and certain additional Asian markets other than Japan, subject to Revlon’s royalty payments meeting certain additional minimums. Revlon launched the Almay Kinetin Skincare Advanced Anti-Aging Series of products in the United States in mid-2001, followed by launches in other territories including the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa.

In December 2000, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Med-Beauty AG (“Med-Beauty”), a Swiss company based in Zurich, in consideration of a product license fee. Under the agreement as amended in September 2001, Med-Beauty is granted an exclusive right to sell specified Kinetin-based products to estheticians and beauty salons in Switzerland and a non-exclusive right to sell such products in those classes of trade in Germany and Russia, all subject to achieving certain minimum purchase levels of bulk product. Med-Beauty’s initial launch of covered products was made in May 2001.

In November 2001, we entered into an arrangement to collaborate with Allure Cosmetics (“Allure”), a California-based skincare manufacturing and marketing company, under which the parties undertook to develop new Kinetin-based products to be manufactured by Allure and marketed by the Company directly or through licensees. The parties agreed to jointly market Kinetin-based products to Allure’s existing customer base, and the Company granted Allure a non-exclusive license to manufacture and market specified Kinetin-based products to

Table of Contents

health food stores, estheticians, beauty salons, spas and by direct mail, in exchange for specified royalties. The Company is not expected to spend significant research and development funds on this arrangement.

On April 16, 2002 we executed a direct license agreement with Enprani Co., Ltd. (“Enprani”) of Seoul, Republic of Korea, to market and distribute Kinetin in South Korea in the Cosmetics Specialty Stores channel of distribution under the popular Enprani brand. Enprani is also developing and clinically testing a new and unique combination skincare line containing our patented Kinetin ingredient. Enprani has gained functional care approval for Kinetin from the Korean Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), a substantial step towards its continued success in Korea. The licensing arrangement includes an upfront royalty payment, guaranteed annual minimum sales and royalties on future products sold. Enprani is a well-established and highly regarded cosmetic company in Korea. It is an affiliate of CJ Corp., one of the largest business conglomerates in Korea with total assets exceeding (US) $2 billion and consolidated sales of (US) $4.5 billion.

On October 22, 2002 we signed an agreement with Vivier Pharma Inc. (“Vivier”), of Montreal, Canada, granting Vivier the right to manufacture and sell to dermatologists, pharmacies and other ethical channels in Canada and the United States dermatological products containing our patented Kinetin skin care ingredient in combination with Vivier’s proprietary formulation of Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid). Vivier expects to launch in the second quarter of 2003. In addition to this, Vivier has granted us the right to sell, and license third parties to sell, the Kinetin—Vitamin C combination products as well as Vivier’s line of Vitamin C serums in certain global markets. The Agreement calls for the parties to collaborate on future developmental projects and clinical evaluations.

On November 12, 2002 we signed a worldwide non-exclusive licensing agreement for our patented skincare ingredient Kinetin with Shaklee Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, Japan’s third largest pharmaceutical company with sales exceeding $4 billion. The agreement enables Shaklee Corporation to incorporate Kinetin in its existing skin care line and add new formulations for the direct selling distribution channel as well as catalogue sales and Internet sales. The launch is targeted for 2004.

We plan to continue focusing on building a high-margin, royalty-based revenue stream by actively developing additional licensing opportunities for those territories and categories of trade for which we have not granted exclusive licenses under the agreements described above. These include the prestige market, the ethical market (dermatologists’ and cosmetic surgeons’ patients), the multi-level market, direct response market, alternative market, salon-esthetician market, infomercials and the natural products market throughout the world.

In addition, we are planning to launch our own Kinetin plus product line through Direct Response TV advertising and direct to Spas and Salons. With respect to this launch we anticipate spending up to $250,000 developing the products, producing the Direct Response TV spot, test marketing the products and producing inventory for sale.

We are also having preliminary discussions with a specialty pharmaceuticals company in Europe regarding the development of Kinetin for additional therapeutic applications.

Beyond this we intend to add to our portfolio of cytokinin compounds with strong antisenescent properties by working with research institutes, which have close links with Dr. Brian Clark and the University of Aarhus.

Other Products

Historically we have developed or acquired a number of skincare products designed to meet specific niche segments of the market, including Mill Creek, Sleepy Hollow Botanicals and Biotene H-24, as well as two specialty mass market lines, Silver Fox, a product for gray hair, and Allercreme, a hypoallergenic range of skincare and cosmetic products for women with sensitive skin, developed in conjunction with dermatologists. In

Table of Contents

1999 the Company determined that these product lines were non-core and entered into an agreement with United States International Trading Corporation (“USITC”) under which USITC purchased the Company’s inventories of Mill Creek and Silver Fox finished goods and componentry and paid a licensing fee for the exclusive right to manufacture and market these lines in exchange for royalties subject to specified annual minimums. USITC was granted an option to purchase the rights to these lines for $2.8 million. Subsequently, an existing distribution agreement with Quimlam, Inc. covering the Allercreme product line was terminated and these distribution rights were granted to USITC on a non-exclusive basis up to December 31, 2001. Currently, we are planning to divest and sell off the Allercreme line and have discontinued the manufacture of these products.

On September 27, 2002 we signed an agreement with USITC for the purchase by them of the rights to the Mill Creek personal care line, the Silver Fox hair care line and other brands acquired by us in our 1995 acquisition of Carme, Inc. These product lines had been licensed by us to USITC since May 1999, and the purchase was made under a purchase option provided for in the license agreement. The purchase price was $2.8 million, payable $400,000 in cash at closing, followed by twenty-three consecutive quarterly payments of $100,000 each beginning in September 2003, and the application of a deposit of $100,000 made by USITC towards the agreed upon purchase price. Interest is payable on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 10%. The transaction closed on December 31, 2002.

Biopharmaceuticals and Drug Delivery Technology

Sexual Dysfunction

We have developed, patented and, while we already have approval in Denmark, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, are in the process of securing other European marketing approvals for Invicorp, an intracavernous injection therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”). Invicorp is a combination therapy comprised of phentolamine mesylate (“PMS”) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (“VIP”), a 28-amino-acid peptide found naturally in the human male and female urogenital tracts and central and peripheral nervous systems that causes erection by binding to smooth-muscle receptors in the corpus cavernosum, inducing smooth-muscle relaxation and increased blood flow.

The commercial potential of products for the treatment of ED is significant and growing. A study released in 2002 by Decision Resources, Inc. (the “2002 Study”) estimates that in 2001 some 70 million men in the seven major pharmaceutical markets covered by the study (the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and Japan) suffered from some degree of ED. The incidence of ED increases with age, and therefore is expected to grow as the median age of the world’s population increases. ED is also associated with a number of common conditions including arteriosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension and the use of such medications as beta blockers and tricyclic antidepressants. According to the 2002 Study, seven-market sales of drugs and devices to treat ED totaled $1.3 billion in 2001 and are expected to grow at an annual rate of 10%, reaching $3.6 billion in 2011.

According to the 2002 Study, oral medications (principally Pfizer, Inc.’s sildenafil product Viagra) represented in excess of 92% of total 2001 sales of ED products in the studied markets. However, these oral therapies are ineffective, medically contraindicated or otherwise unsuitable for significant numbers of ED sufferers, who opt for “second line” injection therapies or penile implants, or who may forego therapy altogether. The 2002 Study indicated that physicians are increasingly likely to prescribe combination therapies to treat ED due to the fact that emerging localized drugs with improved methods of delivery will drive a trend towards combinations of oral and localized therapy in an effort to boost the overall efficacy of ED treatment.

Specifically, the 2002 Study found that men whose ED is classified as moderate or severe (those most likely to seek treatment) show a markedly lower response rate to sildenafil and other oral therapies than do those with mild ED; that certain patient groups (including diabetics, who have a high incidence of ED) experience particularly low response rates to sildenafil; that sildenafil is contraindicated for patients who take any form of

5

Table of Contents

nitrates (a group that represents 5-10% of men with ED); and that men who take both sildenafil and drugs such as erythromycin or cholesterol-lowering agents, which are metabolized by the same isoenzymes as sildenafil, are at risk for developing higher than desirable serum levels of sildenafil. In addition, Pfizer, Inc. has advised that sildenafil should not be taken by men who have suffered a recent stroke or myocardial infarction or men with hypotension or certain retinal disorders. Also, the 2002 Study found that some men for whom sildenafil is effective nevertheless decline to use it because of its relatively slow onset of activity.

Clinical trials of Invicorp suggest that it could become the therapy of choice for virtually all of these patients. It has been found to have a favorable side-effect and drug-interaction profile, permitting it to be prescribed for men with the various contraindications referred to above. In clinical trials, Invicorp has been shown to be highly safe and effective in patients of all etiologies, as well as patients who have failed previous therapy. In trials, participants have also reported lower incidences of penile pain and fibrosis than with other ED injection therapies. The 2002 Study concluded Invicorp has a novel micro-injection system that significantly reduces the pain associated with local invasive ED therapies. We believe this less painful system will be a major advantage over alprostadil injections.

As the 2002 Study found, we believe that mode of administration is an important factor affecting patient acceptance of injection therapy. We have developed Reliaject, a highly advanced, disposable autoinjector that renders the administration process uncomplicated and pain-free. We believe Invicorp and Reliaject to be the right drug in the right delivery system that will ideally address the needs of a significant segment of the ED market including ED sufferers for whom currently available therapies are ineffective or contraindicated. See “Government Regulation”.

On November 12, 2002 we signed a marketing and distribution agreement for Invicorp, for New Zealand with Douglas Pharmaceuticals (“Douglas”). This is our first licensing agreement for Invicorp and Douglas is to assume full marketing responsibility for Invicorp in New Zealand in exchange for revenue sharing. Douglas will also receive rights of first offer for future Senetek products in development, not limited to sexual dysfunction. In addition, Douglas will provide assistance for regulatory filings in Australia as well as marketing support for launching in other countries. The New Zealand launch of Invicorp is scheduled for the third quarter 2003.

We are also working on possible sales and marketing arrangements with potential licensees in Denmark, and also evaluating arrangements for the sales and distribution of Invicorp directly.

To enable both the Douglas and the potential Danish arrangement, we have engaged a regulatory consultant to assist the Company with filing the necessary variations for the change of manufacturing site and supplier of active ingredients with the Danish Medicines Agency and New Zealand’s Medsafe, which when approved will enable the supply of Invicorp to patients in these countries.

Drug Delivery Technology

Reliaject is Senetek’s compact, disposable, fully automatic, pre-filled self-injection system that accommodates multiple therapeutic applications. Reliaject is equipped with an ultra fine gauge needle, manufactured by a laser process for pain-free use and utilizes a dental cartridge to contain the drug to be injected. The needle is visibly undetectable by the patient during administration of the drug and appropriate needle depth is automatically reached before drug flow occurs, thereby reducing reliance upon the patient’s technique for accuracy and safe delivery. In addition to Invicorp, we are studying this delivery system for other therapies including anaphylactic shock, migraine treatment, infertility regimens, human growth hormones and analgesics.

Diagnostic Monoclonal Antibodies

In 1995, we entered into a license agreement with the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene (“the Foundation”), an agency operated by the State of New York, under which the Company was granted exclusive

6

Table of Contents

rights to certain of the Foundation’s cell lines capable of producing monoclonal antibodies for research on various diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease. The license expires 10 years from inception as to the cell lines originally covered and, as to cell lines subsequently added to the license (most recently) in 1999, 10 years from their inclusion. The three cell lines currently licensed expire in 2004, 2005 and 2009. The Company marketed these cell lines to major pharmaceutical companies including Glaxo, Pfizer, Wyeth Ayest, Amgen, Pharmacia Upjohn, Eli Lilly and Genentech. In August 2000, we determined that the marketing of Diagnostic Monoclonial Antibodies was not a core business and entered into a sublicense for the remaining term of the Foundation license with Signet Laboratories, Inc., a leading medical diagnostic and research company, under which Signet now markets these cell lines and develops new cell lines covered by the Foundation license. We receive royalties on Signet’s sales, subject to certain minimum royalty guarantees, and remit a portion to the Foundation in accordance with the terms of its license.

Research and Development

We sponsor research in the life sciences and biotechnology fields involving the treatment of conditions related to aging, particularly our core fields of interest in sexual dysfunction and skin treatment. Our strategy has been to apply our available research and development resources to funding clinical research agreements with third-party consultants, clinicians and research scientists having particular expertise in our areas of interest with a direct focus on getting our products into the market. Under these agreements, we are granted exclusive rights to patents for the manufacture and marketing of products arising from this research, with the researchers in certain cases being entitled to royalties or other payments in connection with commercialization of resulting products.

Typically, our research agreements oblige us to fund agreed research in amounts determined between the parties. The researchers are responsible for filing progress reports and working with consultants appointed by us on matters such as product formulation, stability, clinical trials and regulatory compliance. In addition, we operate a development center in Kettering, United Kingdom, which monitors clinical trials, European product marketing applications and European regulatory approvals.

In furtherance of this strategy, in October 2001, we established a research professorship at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, at the University’s Center for Molecular Gerontology. Previous research programs with the University resulted in us acquiring the patent rights to Kinetin and Zeatin for certain applications. Under the terms of the grant, which will be administered by the University’s Natural Science Faculty, we will have a right of first refusal on discoveries resulting from the sponsored research.

On January 29, 2003, Dr. Brian Clark, one of the founders of Senetek PLC and co-discoverer of its proprietary skincare compounds, Kinetin and Zeatin, agreed to lead our Research and Development program as Chief Scientist. Dr. Clark is based at the University of Aarhus, Denmark at its Center for Molecular Gerontology. Dr. Clark’s will be working on our future research and development infrastructure and will assess the scientific feasibility of acquiring new technologies.

Our research and development expenditures amounted to $1,332,000, $344,000 and $821,000 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. Under the terms of various of our skincare license agreements, licensees are responsible for developing new products and applications, and gaining product approvals based upon the technologies and patents covered by the licenses.

We expect research and development spending for our sexual dysfunction products to increase significantly as we progress with the Mutual Recognition Procedure (“MRP”) in Europe and prepare for discussions with the U.S. FDA, regarding the number and scope of Invicorp clinical trials in the U.S. In this connection, we are working with Quintiles, a leading provider of information, technology and services to the pharmaceuticals industry, to support our efforts in bringing Invicorp to market in Europe and in the US as efficiently as possible. We are currently working with the Danish Medicines Agency on the MRP process and with the Medicines

7

Table of Contents

Control Agency in the United Kingdom on an Invicorp ampoule product and have commenced work for the reactivation of our Investigational New Drug approval with the FDA in the US. After completion of their assessment work on the updated clinical and pharmaceutical dossiers, assuming satisfactory results, the Danish Medicines Agency is expected to progress the MRP filings and we are hopeful of receiving additional European Union approvals during the first quarter of 2004. We anticipate spending up to $500,000 in 2003 on this research and development, including costs related to the granting of the European Union Marketing approvals for our Invicorp product. Additionally, we are attempting to develop strategic relationships with companies that can help us share in the cost of obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and market the product.

Overall, we expect future research and development spending to increase as we develop our pipeline of proprietary technology. The Company expects, however, a portion of these expenses to be absorbed by its existing and future commercial partners.

Manufacturing and Marketing

Marketing

Consistent with our strategy of building a high-margin revenue stream, all of our current revenues are derived from license agreements under which our licensees assume responsibility for marketing and maintaining required government approvals within their respective licensed territories. We expect to maintain this business model in the case of emerging products in our Skincare Segment, where achieving acceptable distribution is dependent upon a broad-based sales and distribution network within the particular class of trade. In addition, we plan to introduce our own proprietary Kinetin Plus line in 2003 direct to consumers, spas and salons. We anticipate spending approximately $50,000 on the test marketing of these products. Marketing expenditures could increase significantly if the company’s product line is well received. In the case of Invicorp and its associated delivery systems, we are currently reviewing whether to undertake sales and distribution directly or through an alliance with a company with appropriate sales and distribution infrastructure. Should we opt to realize the potential profits of direct distribution to urologists and other specialists or to retailers that fulfill such professionals’ prescriptions, significant expenditures will be required to establish and operate the necessary infrastructure. Should we opt to establish an alliance with a company having an established retailing and distribution network in a particular market, we will seek to subsidize ongoing marketing approval expense through co-development arrangements and to realize revenues through licensing fees and royalties or other participation in the third party’s sales or through shared equity or other joint venture arrangements.

Manufacturing

Certain of our existing licenses for core products in the Skincare Segment grant our licensees the right to manufacture covered products. In the case of those licenses which grant only marketing rights or require the licensee to produce and package product from Senetek-supplied bulk, we contract with third parties for the manufacture and/or filling and labeling of the skincare products covered by such licenses. While we rely on particular suppliers for the raw materials and componentry used in the manufacture of such products we do not anticipate any problems with supply of such materials. We have licensed a third party to manufacture and sell our various non-core consumer products, as well as the cell lines licensed to us for production of monoclonal antibodies.

With regard to our ED medication, Invicorp, the active ingredients, VIP and PMS are currently available from suppliers in quantities believed to be adequate for the Company’s requirements following marketing approval in Europe. These suppliers have developed synthetic production methods that are included in the product marketing application updates with regulatory authorities in Europe. We believe that, should these suppliers become unavailable or unable to supply in required volumes, alternative sources of approvable supplies are available.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2002 we had approximately $2.7 million of fixed assets in progress for the manufacture of Reliaject components and the subsequent filling and assembly of the Reliaject system. These assets were initially purchased in 1998 and we expect them to be commercially deployed within the next 12 months. We anticipate that an additional spending of approximately $700,000 will be required to bring these assets into commercial use. Invicorp is currently approved in three countries and on an ongoing basis we are reviewing potential partners for marketing and distribution arrangements for Invicorp in Europe. Since we cannot assure that we will be successful in securing an arrangement that will meet our return on investment (ROI) criteria, we are also developing an alternative plan for marketing and distributing Invicorp on our own. Running in parallel to our regulatory and pre-marketing efforts in Europe, we have finalized consolidating our manufacturing equipment for the production of Reliaject in Napa, California. Our plans are to manufacture the Reliaject components ourselves or lease or sell the equipment to an experienced device manufacturer while securing the exclusive rights for Reliaject for our core markets of erectile dysfunction and anaphylaxis. During the third quarter of 2002, we commissioned an independent study to determine the fair value of the exclusive manufacturing rights of the Reliaject autoinjector system with an established firm of Valuation Advisors. They have formed the opinion that the fair value of these rights is in the range of $3.5 to $4.0 million. The market assumptions in the valuation model were based on Invicorp gaining approval under the European mutual recognition process in the third quarter of 2003 and making estimates of Invicorp in Reliaject sales in accordance with market research data. Obtaining regulatory approvals throughout the European Union represents a key prerequisite to securing collaborative partners or customers. Should we not be successful in gaining European Union approvals, operating the manufacturing equipment for production of Reliaject components ourselves or in leasing the equipment to a third party or its outright sale, we could be required by accounting rules to write down all or part of the carrying value of this asset in progress. Such a write down could have a material adverse impact on future net income. We believe that future cash flows will exceed the carrying value of the asset.

Competition

The bulk of our current revenues are derived from licenses to manufacture and/or market products containing our patented Kinetin ingredient, with smaller amounts being derived from agreements for the manufacture and sale of non-core skincare and consumer products and cell lines for the production of monoclonal antibodies used in research. While our patents and patent licenses currently protect us from competition from sales of products within the specific scope of our patents and license rights, many companies are engaged in the development and marketing of products competitive with our patented and licensed products. Regarding our ED products, all necessary governmental marketing approvals have not yet been obtained. Assuming they are obtained we will compete with many other companies having established products in the marketplace including Pharmacia Upjohn, Schwarz Pharma, and Vivus, having developed Caverject and Edex and MUSE respectively. We believe Invicorp offers advantages over these therapies including a favorable side effect profile, high level of efficacy in organic ED, natural erection and termination, and shorter time to onset. Pfizer, Inc. with its Viagra product controls the bulk of the oral therapy market, which currently represents in excess of 92% of the worldwide ED market. We consider Invicorp to be complimentary rather than competitive to the oral therapy market as it addresses the needs of patients for whom the oral therapies are not effective or well-tolerated.

The biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries are highly competitive. We compete and will continue to compete with research and development programs at biotechnology, biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical companies, as well as academic institutions, government agencies and public and private organizations throughout the world. Virtually all of our existing or potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources and name recognition than do we and are better equipped to research, develop, patent, conduct pre-clinical testing and human clinical trials, manufacture, and market products. These companies have the capability and resources to develop or acquire and market products that compete with our existing and planned products, and the timing of the market introduction of our own and our competitors’ products will be important competitive factors affecting our future results.

We cannot predict the extent to which any of the products we are currently developing, including Invicorp and its delivery vehicles, will become commercially viable. Assuming that Invicorp and related delivery vehicles are approved for sale in the additional territories in which approvals are currently being sought, we believe that competition will be based, among other things, on product efficacy, ease of administration, convenience, speed of onset, price and third party reimbursement. Regarding our future viability, our competitive position also depends upon our ability to contract for effective and productive research and attract and retain qualified personnel to develop and effectively exploit the results of such research. We expect competition to intensify in all fields in which we are involved.

Government Regulation

General

The research, pre-clinical development, clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing of the products comprising our Pharmaceuticals Segment are subject to extensive regulation, including pre-marketing approval requirements, of the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory agencies. Product development and approval within this regulatory framework takes a number of years and involves the expenditure of substantial resources. Many products ultimately do not reach the market because of toxicity or lack of effectiveness as demonstrated by required testing. Furthermore, regulatory agencies may suspend clinical trials at any time if it is believed that the subjects participating in such trials are being exposed to unacceptable health risks. In addition, there can be no assurance that this regulatory framework will not change or that additional regulations will not arise at any stage during product development that may affect approval, delay an application, or require additional expenditures. Accordingly, we cannot assure that clinical trials related to any products currently in development by us will be completed successfully within any specified time period, if at all, or that pre-marketing approvals based on such trials will be granted.

While the business comprising our existing Skincare Segment generally is not subject to pre-marketing approval, various statutes and regulatory restrictions apply to this business in the United States and most other countries.

Product Approval-United States

In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Public Health Service Act govern the testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our pharmaceuticals. The steps required before a pharmaceutical product may be marketed in the United States include:

Clinical trials of new pharmaceuticals in humans are designed to establish both the safety and the efficacy of the pharmaceutical in treating a particular disease or condition. These studies are usually conducted in three phases of testing. In Phase I, a small number of volunteers is given the new compound in order to identify toxicities and characterize the compound’s behavior in humans. In Phase II, small numbers of patients with the targeted disease are given the compound to test its efficacy in treating the targeted disease and to establish dose levels. Phase III studies are large-scale studies designed to confirm a compound’s efficacy for the targeted disease and identify toxicities that might not have been seen in smaller studies. Once adequate data have been

10

Table of Contents

obtained in clinical testing to demonstrate that the compound is both safe and effective for the intended use, all available data is submitted to the FDA as part of the New Drug Application.

Invicorp has received Investigational New Drug approval from the FDA, and we intend to pursue clinical trials and the filing of a New Drug Application with the FDA for Invicorp following completion of pre-marketing approvals in Europe.

Current FDA regulations govern the manufacture, labeling, advertising and marketing of certain non-pharmaceutical products covered by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, which are required to obtain pre-market approval if they do not fall within the parameters of FDA-issued “monographs”. Currently, such regulations do not apply to non-monograph products, such as Kinetin, though the FDA does regulate issues such as labeling and has the power to seize such products found to be adulterated. However, there can be no assurance that the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act or the regulations thereunder will not be changed so as to subject non-monograph products to increased regulation.

Product Approval—Other Countries

Marketing of pharmaceutical products in other countries requires regulatory approval from the notified bodies in each particular country. The current approval process varies from country to country, and the time to approval may vary from that required for FDA approval, although the review of clinical studies by regulatory agencies in foreign jurisdictions to establish the safety and efficacy of the product generally follows a similar process to that in the United States. Similarly, non-pharmaceutical products generally are not subject to pre-marketing approval requirements in foreign countries although they are regulated in a manner similar to the United States and, in the case of certain countries such as Japan, such products may require reformulation to remove ingredients not considered acceptable by the particular country.

Invicorp was approved for marketing in Denmark in July 1998. In June 2000 the New Zealand Medicines Assessment Advisory Committee granted a Marketing Authorization Approval for Invicorp in New Zealand. In October 2000, the United Kingdom Medicines Control Agency granted a Marketing Authorization for Invicorp in the United Kingdom, where it is currently sold to physicians for prescribing on a “named patient” basis. An application for Marketing Authorization Approvals under the European Mutual Recognition Procedure has been initiated, with Denmark being selected as the Reference Member State. During 2003, we will be evaluating and processing Marketing Authorization Applications for up to 16 other European Union member states. Depending on the cost and timing of the approved process, we could spend up to $500,000 in 2003 on research and development for Invicorp. While we anticipate that Invicorp will be approved for marketing in at least the majority of countries participating in the European Mutual Recognition Procedure, no assurance can be given that such approvals will be granted, or that such approvals, if granted, will not contain significant limitations in the form of warnings, precautions or contraindications with respect to condition of use. Any delay in obtaining, or failure to obtain, such approvals would adversely affect the revenues anticipated from our Pharmaceuticals Segment.

Post-Approval

The marketing and manufacture of pharmaceutical products are subject to post-approval regulatory review, and later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, manufacturer or facility may result in the regulatory agencies requiring further clinical research or imposing restrictions on the product or the manufacturer, including withdrawal of the product from the market. Additionally, any adverse reactions or events involving such products must be reported to these agencies. Previously unidentified adverse events or an increased frequency of adverse events occurring post-approval could result in labeling modifications, additional contraindications and other restrictions that could adversely affect future marketability. Ultimately, marketing approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if a product is found to present an unacceptable risk. Any such restriction, suspension or revocation of regulatory approvals could have a material adverse effect on us.

Third-Party Reimbursement

We believe that the availability of third-party reimbursement of all or a portion of the cost of Invicorp therapy may affect the overall marketability of Invicorp and its related delivery systems.

In the United States, government-funded and private insurance programs reimburse or pay directly the cost of many medical treatments, prescription drugs and medical devices. The U.S. Health Care Financing Administration (“HCFA”) sets reimbursement policy for the Medicare program in the United States, and has established a national coverage policy for the diagnosis and treatment of ED in Medicare beneficiaries. Private insurance coverage for ED treatment, however, varies widely across the United States, and the introduction and popularity of Pfizer’s Viagra^® resulted in some plans establishing broad coverage exclusions for ED treatment. As Viagra is an oral therapy and therefore in a different usage category, we believe that such coverage exclusions will not apply to Invicorp.

Outside of the United States, most third-party reimbursement programs are governmentally funded. In some countries, no reimbursement currently is made for ED therapy, while other countries limit the amount of reimbursement or require that ED treatment be related to specified other medical conditions. In addition, in certain European countries, the sales price of a product must be approved. The pricing review period often begins after market approval is granted. Restrictions on the pricing of Invicorp could adversely affect the profitability of the Pharmaceuticals Segment.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, trademarks and confidentiality agreements to protect our business interests. We believe that patents are of material importance to the success of our royalty-driven business model and that trademarks are also of significance, particularly within our Skincare Segment. Our policy is to file patent applications to protect inventions and improvements considered important to the development of our business in the principal countries where protection from manufacture or marketing of infringing products is commercially warranted. Typically, U.S. patents expire 17 years after the grant date and foreign patents expire up to 20 years after filing of the patent application. As of December 31, 2002 we hold approximately 125 issued patents, including patents for Invicorp for the use of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and phentolamine mesylate in the treatment of ED, granted in 18 countries and pending in fifteen other countries, patents for Kinetin and Zeatin for ameliorating the effects of aging on skin, granted in 25 countries and pending in nine other countries, patents for Kinetin and Zeatin for ameliorating the effects of hyperproliferative skin diseases, including psoriasis, granted in 15 countries and pending in one other country, and autoinjector patents for the delivery of therapeutic ingredients, granted in 27 countries and pending in eight other countries. In January 2003 we were granted a patent in one country for cytokinins (including Kinetin) in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

It is noted, however, that patents, including those for pharmaceuticals and skincare ingredients, generally involve complex legal and factual issues. In the United States, for example, the first person to conceive and document a novel invention is generally entitled to patent it, even if another person who subsequently conceived the invention was the first person to file a patent application on it. This issue of priority of invention is further complicated by the fact that patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until a patent is issued or denied, generally years after filing. Accordingly, a patent-holder may be subject to interference proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) long after the patent was issued based upon another party’s claim of earlier invention. Furthermore, as only novel inventions are patentable, a patent-holder may be subject to proceedings in the PTO or in federal court attacking the validity of the patent based on alleged obviousness or so-called “prior art”, or based on alleged improprieties in prosecuting the patent in the PTO. Issues of novelty and abuse of patent also arise under the laws of most foreign countries in which we hold patents or have filed patent applications. We have successfully defended against claims of invalidity and unenforceability of our Kinetin patents (see “Legal Proceedings”). However, while we believe that our patents are valid and enforceable, there can be no assurance that if, in the future, we must enforce any one or more of our

12

Table of Contents

patents, or such patents are challenged by a third party, such patents ultimately would be upheld. Similarly, while we believe that our products do not infringe the valid claims of any third party’s patents, there can be no assurance that we would prevail if a third party sought to enforce its patent against us by a suit for an injunction or damages.

Interference and similar proceedings in the PTO or equivalent foreign patent offices, whether brought by us to protect our patents or brought by a third party challenging such patents, are time-consuming, disruptive of management and highly costly, and injunctive and other patent litigation in court is likely to be many times more time-consuming, disruptive and costly. Furthermore, in the United States (unlike many foreign countries) a party generally is not entitled to reimbursement of its legal fees and expenses even if it is wholly successful in its prosecution or defense, so that we could be exposed to costs which could have a material adverse effect on our business even if we were successful in enforcing our patents against an infringer or successful in defending against proceedings to invalidate our patents or proceedings alleging breach by us of a third party’s patents. Additionally, if we were unsuccessful in proceedings challenging our patents, third parties licensed by us under those patents might seek to terminate such licenses and cease paying royalties. If we were unsuccessful in defending against a claim that we had infringed a third party’s patent, even unknowingly, we could be subject to a permanent injunction against engaging in the infringing business as well as an award of damages measured by the profits obtained from past infringement. Because of our relative lack of financial and management resources, we could be less able than our competitors to bear such risks.

Employees

As of December 31, 2002, we had twelve full-time employees, comprised of three persons at our drug development center at Kettering in the United Kingdom and nine persons at our Napa, California headquarters.

RISK FACTORS

As stated in the preamble to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, this document contains numerous forward-looking statements which we believe to be a fair reflection of our risks and opportunities. However, such statements by their nature are future-related and involve substantial uncertainties. In addition to those factors referred to elsewhere in Part I of this Annual Report, particularly the Sections in Item 1 entitled “Competition”, “Government Regulation” and “Intellectual Property”, and in Part II of this Annual Report, particularly in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, we have identified the following factors that may affect whether future events may differ materially from the expectations described in such forward-looking statements.

Limited Product Offering and Relatively Fixed Revenue Stream.    Substantially all of our current revenue base is derived from license fees on our patented Kinetin ingredient, which are being amortized into income over the terms of the licenses, and royalties earned on licensees’ sale of such licensed products which are generally paid quarterly. In addition, part of current revenues reflect the retained portion of royalties received from Signet on sales of cell lines for production of monoclonal antibodies that are not remitted to the Foundation under the terms of our license agreement with it. If our patents on Kinetin were successfully challenged and our Kinetin licensees sought to terminate their licenses, our revenue stream would be substantially curtailed, and if the Foundation’s patents were successfully challenged, the Foundation failed to renew its license with us beginning in 2004, or if the State of New York ceased supporting the Foundation, our sublicense with Signet would yield substantially reduced revenues. Additionally, our present revenue stream is tied to our licensees’ sales of licensed product and accordingly is relatively fixed unless new territories are launched or expansion in existing territories occurs. Should we be faced with significant cash requirements in connection with gaining regulatory approvals of our biopharmaceutical products currently in development or in connection with protecting our patents or defending against patent infringement litigation, our capital resources might be inadequate to fund our capital needs, as described below.

Concentrated Revenue Base.    In 2002, three of our customers accounted for 35%, 30% and 11% of our revenue and approximately 52%, 13% and 13%, respectively of our net trade receivables at December 31, 2002. However, while we have no security for payment of such trade receivables, we believe that all of such customers are credit-worthy and committed to fully performing their license obligations. Nevertheless, should any of such customers cease paying receivables when due or cease performing under their respective licenses, our results would be adversely affected. Subsequent to December 31, 2002, approximately 99% of the above mentioned accounts receivable were collected in full.

Limited Capital Resources.    As described under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, all of our borrowings are from a single source pursuant to agreements under which our funding source has substantial control over our ability to incur additional debt or dispose of assets, substantially all of which are pledged as security for our borrowings. In the event that we are unable to fund through our operating cash flow or raise additional cash through equity offerings, continued product development and governmental marketing approvals of our pharmaceutical products or such unbudgeted expenses as the defense of our position in patent litigation, we would currently be dependent upon this source for additional funding, and if we were unable to arrange for funding upon acceptable terms, our business could be materially adversely affected.

New Product Pipeline.    We have a pipeline of new products and new indications for existing products in development, and should we be successful in developing and obtaining marketing approvals for these products, to the extent required, we expect to be successful in our business plan to achieve high-margin, replicable revenues and increasing profits. However, because of regulatory and competitive uncertainties, no assurance can be given that these products can be successfully developed and marketed.

Competitive ED Therapies.    Oral medications currently represent approximately 92% of the worldwide market for ED treatment because of their ease of use and non-invasive path of administration. Pfizer’s Viagra

14

Table of Contents

represents virtually all of this oral medication market. We believe that there will nevertheless be a market for our Invicorp ED injectable therapy because of its greater efficacy, favorable side-effect and contraindication profiles, and relatively aesthetic delivery systems. However, there can be no assurance that new competitive injectable ED medications will not be developed to fulfill many if not all of ED patients’ needs that are currently unmet, or that our injection therapy will in fact gain acceptance.

Competitive Impacts on our Market for Skincare Ingredients.    We face intense competition for the discovery and development of ingredients to address signs of photoaging and other skincare conditions from large, global companies with far greater research, development and marketing resources than ours, and there can be no assurance that our existing products or new products developed for our Skincare Segment will maintain market acceptance in competition with existing and new offerings of our competitors.

Management Infrastructure.    We currently employ 12 people, and have a very small, though we believe highly qualified and motivated, management cadre. Should we lose significant management resources and be unable to attract high caliber replacements to continue implementing our business plan, we could be materially adversely affected. We are actively seeking to build management, operational and marketing infrastructure, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to staff our requirements in a manner adequate to support our planned growth.

ITEM 2— PROPERTIES

We lease approximately 31,000 square feet in Napa, California for our headquarters. The headquarters facility includes approximately 7,300 square feet of manufacturing space and 23,700 square feet of research, marketing and administrative space. The lease for the Napa facility expires in December 2007. We also lease an approximately 2,500 square foot building in Kettering, United Kingdom, under a 5-year lease with a break option after one year. The UK break option has been exercised as of March 10, 2003 and we are in the process of moving into 900 square feet of office space in St Neots, United Kingdom, under a 5-year lease with a 3 month rolling break option.

ITEM 3— LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 11, 1998 we filed a lawsuit against Mad Dogs & Englishmen Inc. and Mad Dog Enterprises d/b/a Mad Dogs & Englishmen (together “Mad Dogs”) in the Supreme Court of New York. On December 11, 1996 we entered into a written agreement with Mad Dogs under which Mad Dogs agreed to promote our cosmetics business and to hire a consultant familiar with the cosmetics industry in connection therewith. We are seeking damages of approximately $10 million for a breach of that agreement. Mad Dogs served us with an answer to our complaint in August 1998 and subsequently counterclaimed alleging that CCSI is liable to Mad Dogs for at least $40,000 in unpaid fees and other unspecified damages. There have been no substantive developments in the lawsuit since the filing of the answer to our complaint.

ITEM 4— SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.
