NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE A – OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

We are engaged in the research, development, manufacture, and sale of a natural human alpha interferon product indicated for treatment of a broad range of viral and malignant diseases. We produce a natural human alpha interferon product under the tradename of Multiferon® from human white blood cells, also known as leukocytes. Natural alpha interferon is one of the body’s most important natural defense mechanisms to foreign substances like viruses, but it also stimulates and modulates the human immune system. In addition, interferon inhibits the growth of various viruses including those associated with diseases such as hepatitis.

 

We are a majority owned subsidiary of Viragen, Inc. (Viragen) (AMEX: VRA). As of December 31, 2004, Viragen owned 59,818,301 shares of our common stock representing approximately 81.2% of our 73,669,320 outstanding shares. We operate primarily through our foreign wholly owned subsidiaries, ViraNative AB (“ViraNative”), a company located in Umeå, Sweden and Viragen (Scotland) Limited (“Viragen (Scotland)”), a company located near Edinburgh, Scotland. ViraNative and Viragen (Scotland) house our manufacturing and research laboratory facilities.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements include Viragen International, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries, including those operating outside the United States of America. All significant transactions among our subsidiaries have been eliminated. These statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements for Viragen International have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The accounting estimates that require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include: the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets; and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

The interim financial information is unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE A – OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION – (Continued)

 

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 we incurred losses of approximately $1,954,000 and $3,894,000, respectively. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we incurred significant losses of approximately $7,076,000, $5,165,000 and $5,591,000, respectively, and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $46,921,000 as of December 31, 2004. We had a cash balance of approximately $1,053,000 and working capital of approximately $3,650,000 at December 31, 2004. We anticipate additional future losses as we commercialize our natural human alpha interferon product and conduct additional research and development activities and clinical trials to obtain additional regulatory approvals. Accordingly, we will require substantial additional funding. Historically, Viragen has provided us with the working capital necessary to fund operations. Viragen has sufficient capital on hand to fund their operations through at least December 31, 2005 and has agreed to provide us with the working capital necessary to fund our operations through at least December 31, 2005. However, Viragen will require substantial additional funding to support our operations subsequent to December 31, 2005. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations, Viragen’s plans include seeking additional capital through equity and debt financings.

 

NOTE B – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

As currently permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, which amended SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, our employee stock option plan is accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Compensation expense for a stock option grant is currently recognized if the exercise price is less than the fair value of our common stock on the grant date. See Note K for recent accounting pronouncement.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per common share if we had applied the fair value method to measure stock-based compensation as required under the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123:
