PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
          This summary highlights selected information more fully described elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the following summary together with the entire prospectus, including the more detailed information regarding us and the common stock being sold in this offering and our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 before deciding to invest in our common stock. Unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise, references in this prospectus to “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Unilife Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Overview
          We are a U.S. based medical device company focused on the design, development, manufacture and supply of a proprietary range of retractable syringes. Primary target customers for our products include pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers of medical equipment to healthcare facilities, and distributors to patients who self-administer prescription medication. All of our syringes incorporate automatic and fully-integrated safety features which are designed to protect those at risk of needlestick injuries and injury from other unsafe injection practices. Our main product is the Unifill ready-to-fill syringe, which is designed to be supplied to pharmaceutical manufacturers in a form that is ready for filling with their injectable drugs and vaccines. We have a strategic partnership with sanofi-aventis, a large global pharmaceutical company, pursuant to which it has paid us a 10.0 million euro exclusivity fee and has committed to pay us up to an additional 17.0 million euros to fund our industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. Upon the scheduled completion of the industrialization program in late 2010, we expect to commence the supply and sale of the Unifill syringe to sanofi-aventis. We are also in discussions with other pharmaceutical companies that are seeking to obtain access to the Unifill syringe. In addition, we have recently begun to manufacture our Unitract 1mL insulin syringes at our FDA-registered manufacturing facility in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania.
          Our clinical and prefilled safety syringes incorporate automatic, also known as passive, safety features which are fully integrated within the barrel. They are designed to assist pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare facilities comply with needlestick prevention laws and to encourage single use and safe disposal practices outside of healthcare settings. We consider the following combination of core proprietary features available in our safety products to be unique within the marketplace:
    Integrated design. All safety features are fully integrated inside the syringe barrel to facilitate compact handling, intuitive use and convenient disposal.
 
    Passive retraction. The activation of the needle retraction mechanism occurs automatically while the needle is inside the body to help prevent the risk of needlestick injury.
 
    Controlled retraction. Operators can control the speed of needle retraction directly from the body into the syringe barrel to help reduce the risk of infection through transmission routes such as needlestick injuries and aerosol (splatter).
 
    Auto-disable. Upon withdrawal of the needle into the barrel, the plunger is automatically locked to prevent re-exposure or reuse.
          We have utilized this core proprietary technology to design and develop a range of prefilled and clinical safety syringes. Furthermore, we are not aware of any other company that is manufacturing safety syringes with automatic, integrated safety features in both a prefilled (glass) and clinical (plastic) format which share the same common technology platform.
          Key target markets for our products include pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facilities and patients who self-administer prescription medication. We believe that the majority of our products would be supplied, either directly or through pharmaceutical customers, for use within sophisticated healthcare markets such as North America, Western Europe and some Asia-Pacific countries that require or are transitioning toward the mandatory use of safety syringes.

Table of Contents

          Our goal is to progressively move to the forefront of the international transition of healthcare and pharmaceutical markets to the mandatory use of prefilled and clinical safety syringes. We believe that the competitive strength of our proprietary technology puts us in a strong position to become an established and preferred supplier of “best-in-class” safety syringe products to pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facilities and patients who self-administer prescription medication.
          Key elements of our business strategy are the development, production and sale of our patent-protected safety syringes, the continued expansion of our global operational and commercial presence and the establishment of long-term supply relationships with multinational pharmaceutical and healthcare equipment companies. We are committed to designing, developing and supplying innovative medical devices that can enhance and save lives.
Corporate Information
          Unilife Corporation was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 2, 2009. On January 27, 2010, Unilife Medical Solutions Limited, an Australian corporation, or UMSL, whose ordinary shares were listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, or ASX, completed a redomiciliation from Australia to the State of Delaware pursuant to which the shareholders and option holders of UMSL exchanged their interests in UMSL for equivalent interests in Unilife Corporation and Unilife Corporation became the parent company of UMSL and its subsidiaries. The redomiciliation was conducted by way of schemes of arrangement under Australian law. The issuance of Unilife Corporation common stock and stock options under the schemes of arrangement was exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
          Under the schemes, holders of UMSL ordinary shares or share options received one share of Unilife Corporation common stock or an option to purchase one share of Unilife Corporation common stock, for every six UMSL ordinary shares or share options, respectively, held by such holders, unless the holder elected to receive, in lieu of Unilife Corporation common stock, Chess Depositary Interests of Unilife Corporation, or CDIs (each representing one-sixth of one share of Unilife Corporation common stock), in which case such holder received one CDI for every UMSL ordinary share. The redomiciliation was approved by the Australian Federal Court, and approved by UMSL shareholders and option holders. As a result of the redomiciliation, the listing of UMSL’s ordinary shares on the ASX, has been replaced by Unilife Corporation’s CDIs.
          Our principal executive offices are located at 633 Lowther Road, Lewisberry, Pennsylvania 17339, and our telephone number is (717) 938-9323. Our website address is www.unilife.com. The information on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
     Our business faces many risks. We believe the risks described below are the material risks facing the Company. However, the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional unknown risks or risks that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described below actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline significantly. Investors should consider the specific risk factors discussed below, together with the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and the other information contained in this registration statement and the other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our success depends in large part on our ability to finalize the design of and complete the industrialization program for our primary product, the Unifill syringe. If we experience problems or delays in completing these activities, our business, including our ability to generate significant revenues, will be materially and adversely affected.
     We commenced the industrialization program for the Unifill syringe in July 2008 and expect to finalize the design of and complete the industrialization program for the product, as well as the development of production systems to support its manufacture and commercial sale, by the end of calendar year 2010. Since the Unifill syringe is our primary product, any failure or significant delay in completing these activities could materially harm our business and our ability to generate any significant amount of revenues for the foreseeable future. We do not expect that our existing contract manufacturing business will generate significant revenues in the future. In addition, our contract with B. Braun expired on December 31, 2009 and while we and B. Braun continue to operate under the contract, there is no assurance that we will be able to renew this contract on favorable terms, if at all.
Our business is substantially dependent on our relationship with our strategic partner, sanofi-aventis, which is funding the industrialization program for the Unifill syringe, and our revenues from other sources are not significant.
     To date, we have derived a substantial majority of our revenues from our exclusive licensing and industrialization agreements with sanofi-aventis. For the year ended June 30, 2009, our revenues from these agreements were $16.1 million, which represented 81% of our revenues for the period. We expect that revenues from sanofi-aventis will continue to account for a substantial majority of our revenues at least through the end of calendar 2010, which is when we expect to complete our industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. In addition, we will need to negotiate successfully with sanofi-aventis to finalize a supply agreement for the Unifill syringe. Even if we finalize this agreement and commence commercial sales to sanofi-aventis, we expect that sanofi-aventis will be our most significant customer, at least until its exclusive period terminates, and that revenues from sanofi-aventis will continue to account for a substantial majority of our revenues and cash flows from operations. Any termination or material breach of the existing agreements between sanofi-aventis and us, any failure to successfully negotiate a supply agreement, or any failure to perform under any supply agreement that we do negotiate, would be likely to materially and adversely affect our business.
Our research and development and other operating expenses are significant and we do not expect to be profitable unless and until we complete our industrialization program, negotiate a supply agreement with sanofi-aventis or other pharmaceutical companies and begin commercial sale of the Unifill syringe.
          We have incurred and will continue to incur significant research and development expenses for the completion of the industrialization program for the Unifill syringe, as well as for the development of other product variants of our technology such as the Unitract Clinical Range of larger syringe sizes. We will also incur general and administrative expenses related to increasing our manufacturing operations, expanding our sales and marketing capabilities, seeking regulatory approvals, and complying with the requirements related to being a public company in both the United States and Australia. We will not be profitable unless we are successful in developing and commercializing the Unifill syringe and other new products, obtaining regulatory approvals, and manufacturing, marketing and selling commercial products.
The Unifill syringe has been designed to be compatible with the drug manufacturing systems currently utilized by sanofi-aventis, which may hinder our ability to sell the product to other pharmaceutical customers whose manufacturing processes may not be compatible with our current product designs.

Table of Contents

     The Unifill syringe has been designed to be compatible with the drug filling and packaging systems of sanofi-aventis. While the standard glass barrels to be used for the Unifill syringe are also currently utilized by most pharmaceutical companies, the specific processes used by other pharmaceutical companies to fill, manufacture or package prefilled syringes with an injectable drug product may vary from those of sanofi-aventis. Furthermore, pharmaceutical companies may in some cases require the use of materials which are biocompatible with a particular drug compound and to which we do not have access. Such events may require design, material or process changes to our product, or restrict our ability to enter into supply relationships with other pharmaceutical companies and accordingly, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to successfully market and sell our safety syringes outside of the pharmaceutical market may be impaired until we are able to offer a full range of safety syringes in sizes commonly used in acute-care facilities.
     In addition to the Unifill syringe, our product portfolio also includes the Unitract 1mL syringe, a plastic syringe which we refer to as a clinical syringe. Acute-care hospitals are the largest single healthcare market for clinical syringes. These facilities use a range of clinical syringes, including 1mL, 3mL and 5mL sizes, for the subcutaneous and intramuscular administration of therapeutic drugs and vaccines. We have completed development and secured regulatory approvals only for the marketing and sale of our Unitract 1mL syringe. While we intend to market the Unitract 1mL syringe to other healthcare sectors in addition to acute-care facilities, our ability to market and sell our safety syringes successfully may be impaired until we are able to offer clinical syringes in a full range of sizes.
Our success will depend on the full commercialization of our current products, and the development and commercialization of other pipeline products. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.
     A significant element of our strategy focuses on developing products that deliver greater benefits to pharmaceutical companies, healthcare workers and patients. The development of these products requires significant research and development, clinical evaluations and regulatory approvals. The results of our product development efforts may be affected by a number of factors, including our ability to innovate, develop and manufacture new products, complete clinical trials, obtain regulatory approvals and secure customer orders for these products. In addition, patents attained by others can preclude or delay our commercialization of a product. There can be no assurance that any products now in development, or that we may seek to develop in the future, will achieve technological feasibility, obtain regulatory approval or gain market acceptance.
We need substantial additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our efforts in developing our new manufacturing facility and in our product development or commercialization programs.
     We are in the process of developing a new manufacturing facility in central Pennsylvania. We estimate the total cost to be approximately $27.0 million. We intend to internally fund $9.0 million of the cost and seek external financing for up to $18.0 million. Although we currently believe that our current cash resources, together with our anticipated cash flows, will be sufficient to fund our operations (other than the development of the new manufacturing facility which we expect to finance in part with the proceeds of external financing) through at least the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we may also need to obtain additional funding in the future for our product development programs and commercialization efforts. In particular, if the amount of funding that sanofi-aventis has agreed to provide to us under the industrialization agreement is insufficient to complete the industrialization program for the Unifill syringe, we may need to obtain additional funding unless sanofi-aventis were to agree to provide us with additional funding, which it has no obligation to provide. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise capital when needed on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funds from debt financing, we may be obligated to abide by restrictive covenants contained in the debt financing agreements, which may make it more difficult for us to operate our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our shares of common stock may suffer dilution. If we are unable to secure additional funding when needed, our ability to develop the new manufacturing facility and continue in our product development and commercialization programs would be delayed, reduced or eliminated.
We may encounter difficulties managing our growth, which could materially harm our business.
     We expect to expand our operations and grow our research and development, product development, regulatory, manufacturing, sales, marketing and administrative operations. This expansion has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. To manage our growth and to develop and commercialize our products, we will be required to improve existing, and implement new, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and expand, train and manage our growing

Table of Contents

employee base. In addition, we will need to manage relationships with various manufacturers, suppliers, customers and other organizations. Our ability to manage our operations and growth will require us to improve our operational, financial and management controls, as well as our internal reporting systems and controls. We may not be able to implement such improvements to our management information, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control systems in an efficient and timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. Our failure to accomplish any of these tasks could materially harm our business.
We depend on our executive officers and key personnel and the loss of them could adversely affect our business.
     Our success depends upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers and other key personnel, particularly Mr. Alan Shortall, our Chief Executive Officer, to provide strategic direction, manage our operations and maintain a cohesive and stable environment. Although we have employment agreements with Mr. Shortall and other key personnel, as well as incentive compensation plans that provide various economic incentives for them to remain with us, these agreements and incentives may not be sufficient to retain them. Our ability to operate successfully and manage our potential future growth also depends significantly upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled and qualified research, technical, clinical, regulatory, sales, marketing, managerial and financial personnel. We face intense competition for such personnel, and we may not be able to attract, retain and motivate these individuals. The loss of our executive officers or other key personnel for any reason or our inability to hire, retain and motivate additional qualified personnel in the future could prevent us from sustaining or growing our business. In addition, we have a limited history of operations under our current officers and directors. Our officers have not worked together for an extensive length of time. If for any reason our management members cannot work efficiently as a team, our business will be adversely affected.
We will incur increased costs as a result of being a US reporting company and we have limited experience as a US reporting company.
     We became subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, on February 11, 2010 when our registration statement on Form 10 became effective. Although UMSL had been listed on the ASX for several years and had been required to file financial information and make certain other filings with the ASX, our status as a U.S. reporting company under the Exchange Act causes us to incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we had not previously incurred, including costs related to compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
If our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures are found not to be effective by management or by an independent registered public accounting firm or if we make disclosure of existing or potential significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in those controls, investors could lose confidence in our financial reports, the price of our shares of common stock may decline, and we may be subject to increased risks and liabilities.
     We became a U.S. reporting company on February 11, 2010 and are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable rules and regulations thereunder. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require that we include a report of our management on our internal control over financial reporting and a report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. We will also have to include quarterly reports and certifications of our management regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent review, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our internal controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from the way we interpret them. Our management may also conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
     If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment and disclosure controls and procedures, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and other information we report and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information. This could lead to a decline in the trading price of our shares of common stock. Additionally,

ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from Nasdaq, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions.
We have limited sales, marketing and distribution experience.
     We have a small internal team to support the training of appointed distributors in the marketing and clinical use of our Unitract 1mL syringes. Although we intend to expand this team as we commence sales of our Unitract 1mL syringes, appoint additional distributors and commercialize our larger-sized clinical syringes, we will have to devote significant financial and management resources to this effort. In developing our sales, marketing and distribution functions, we could face a number of risks, including:
    we may not be able to attract and build a significant marketing or sales force;
 
    the cost of establishing, training and providing regulatory oversight for a marketing or sales force may be substantial; and
 
    there are significant legal and regulatory risks in medical device marketing and sales, and any failure to comply with all legal and regulatory requirements for sales, marketing and distribution could result in enforcement action by the FDA or other authorities that could jeopardize our ability to market our product(s) or could subject us to substantial liability.
We have outsourced the development of automated assembly systems for our Unifill syringe to Mikron Assembly Technology, a third-party contractor. Our ability to commercialize the Unifill syringe will be dependent on the ability of this contractor to provide these systems according to specifications and in a timely manner.
     We have outsourced the development of automated assembly systems for our Unifill syringe to Mikron Assembly Technology, a third party equipment manufacturer. The development of a pilot system with a target production capacity of approximately 60 million units per year began in December 2009 with completion and installation scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2010. Additional assembly lines with higher annual manufacturing capacity are expected to commission and operate beyond 2010. The failure of this company to supply these automated assembly systems to us which meet contracted specifications in a timely manner will significantly impair our business activities and the completion of the industrialization program.
If we experience delays in developing our new manufacturing facility, our ability to produce our Unifill syringe in commercial quantities would be impaired, which would harm our business. In addition, all of our current commercial and production activity takes place in one facility which subjects us to risk if we were to experience a catastrophic event at this facility.
     We have a 50,000 square foot FDA-registered, medical device production facility in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, for the production of the Unilife 1mL syringes and for the future production of the Unifill syringes. However, we will need to expand our manufacturing capabilities in order to produce Unifill syringes and our other products in the quantities that may be necessary to meet anticipated market demand. We are in the process of developing additional manufacturing facilities in central Pennsylvania in conjunction with Keystone Redevelopment Group LLC, a Pennsylvania-based real estate company. We may not successfully complete the development of the new manufacturing facility in a timely manner, or at all. If we are unable to do so, we may not be able to produce our products in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements for the launch of the products or to meet future demand, if at all.
     In addition, because all of our operations are currently conducted out of our Lewisberry facility, a catastrophic event, such as fire, natural disaster, pandemic, war, terrorism, labor disruption or governmental actions taken in response to such an event, could severely disrupt our business activities and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our manufacturing facilities and the manufacturing facilities of our suppliers must comply with applicable regulatory requirements. If we or they fail to achieve or maintain regulatory approval for these manufacturing facilities, our business and our results of operations would be harmed.
     Commercialization of our products requires access to, or the development of, manufacturing facilities that meet applicable regulatory standards to manufacture a sufficient supply of our products. In addition, the FDA must approve facilities that manufacture our products for US commercial purposes, as well as the manufacturing processes and specifications for the product. Suppliers of components of, and products used to manufacture, our products must also comply with FDA and foreign regulatory requirements, which often require significant time, money and record-keeping and quality assurance efforts and subject us and our suppliers to potential regulatory

Table of Contents

inspections and stoppages. We and our suppliers may not satisfy these requirements. If we or our suppliers do not achieve or maintain required regulatory approval for our manufacturing operations, our commercialization efforts could be delayed, which would harm our business and our results of operations.
The costs of raw materials have a significant impact on the level of expenses that we incur. If the prices of raw materials and related factors such as energy prices increase, and we cannot pass those price increases on to our customers, our results of operations and financial condition would suffer.
     We use a number of raw materials including polymer plastics. The prices of many of these raw materials, such as those sourced from petroleum-based raw materials, are cyclical and volatile. While we would generally attempt to pass along increased costs to our customers in the form of sales price increases, we might not be able to do so, for competitive or contract-related reasons or otherwise. If we could not set our prices to reflect the costs of our raw materials, our results of operations and our financial condition would suffer.
Disruptions in the supply of key raw materials and difficulties in the supplier qualification process could adversely impact our operations.
     We employ a supply chain management strategy which seeks to source components and materials from a number of established third party companies. Where possible, we seek to establish dual contracts for the supply of particular components or services. However, there is a risk that our supply lines may be interrupted in the event of a supplier production problem, material recall or financial difficulties. If one of our suppliers is unable to supply materials required for production of our products or our strategies for managing these risks are unsuccessful, we may be unable to complete the production of sufficient quantities of product to fulfill customer orders, or complete the qualification of new replacement materials for some programs in time to meet future production requirements. Prolonged disruptions in the supply of any of our key raw materials, difficulty in completing qualification of new sources of supply, or in implementing the use of replacement materials or new sources of supply, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, our financial condition or cash flows.
Some companies we may utilize for the supply of components are also competitors, and they could elect to cease supply relationships with us in the future for competitive reasons.
     Some companies we may utilize for the supply of components for the Unifill syringe also develop and market their own safety products which can be attached onto standard prefilled syringes. These companies may elect to cease supply relationships with us in the future for competitive reasons. This may disrupt our supply chain, cause difficulties in the qualification of new sources of supply and impair our ability to supply customer orders. Such events may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, our financial condition or cash flows.
The medical device industry is very competitive.
     Competition in the medical device industry is intense. We face this competition from a wide range of companies. These include large medical device companies, most of which have greater financial and human resources, distribution channels and sales and marketing capabilities than we do. Our ability to compete effectively depends upon our ability to distinguish our company and our products from our competitors and their products. Factors affecting our competitive position include, for example, product design and performance, product safety, sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, success and timing of new product development and introductions and intellectual property protection.
We may be adversely impacted by next generation drug delivery technologies.
     Much of our potential sales and potential profitability depends to a large extent on the sale of drug products delivered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. Other device companies, and pharmaceutical companies, are attempting to develop alternative therapies or drug administration systems such as needle-free or intradermal injection technology for the treatment or prevention of various diseases. The development of new or improved products, processes or technologies by other companies may render our products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive. If the products developed in the future by our customers or potential customers use another delivery system, our sales and potential profitability could suffer. Furthermore, we will be largely reliant upon the receipt of revenues from the sale of the Unifill syringe and the Unilife 1mL syringe and will not have the benefit of diversification.
We are subject to extensive regulation.
     We are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA pursuant to the FDC Act, by comparable agencies in other countries, and by other regulatory agencies and governing bodies. Our products must receive clearance or approval

8


Table of Contents

from the FDA or counterpart non-U.S. regulatory agencies before they can be marketed or sold. The process for obtaining marketing approval or clearance may take a significant period of time and require the expenditure of substantial resources. The process may also require changes to our products or result in limitations on the indicated uses of the products. As a result, our expectations with respect to marketing approval or clearance may prove to be inaccurate and we may not be able to obtain marketing approval or clearance in a timely manner or at all. For example, we have experienced two recent delays in our ability to commence commercial sales of U.S.-manufactured stock of our Unitract 1mL syringes due to the delay in obtaining the FDA clearance. In addition, regulatory requirements outside the U.S. change frequently, requiring prompt action to maintain compliance, particularly when product modifications are required.
     Following the introduction of a product, these agencies also periodically review our manufacturing processes and product performance. Our failure to comply with the applicable good manufacturing practices, adverse event reporting, clinical trial and other requirements of these agencies could delay or prevent the production, marketing or sale of our products and result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances, closure of manufacturing sites, seizures or recalls of products and damage to our reputation.
We are subject to regulation by governments around the world, and if these regulations are not complied with, existing and future operations may be curtailed, and we could be subject to liability.
     The design, development, manufacturing, marketing and labeling of our products are subject to regulation by governmental authorities in the United States, Europe and other countries, including the FDA. The regulatory process can result in required modification or withdrawal of existing products and a substantial delay in the introduction of new products. Also, it is possible that regulatory approval may not be obtained for a new product. Our business may be adversely affected by changes in the regulation of drug products and medical devices.
     Our target pharmaceutical customers are also subject to government regulations for the manufacturing, approval, marketing and labeling of therapeutic drug products. An effect of the governmental regulation of our customers’ injectable drug products and manufacturing processes is that compliance with regulations makes it costly and time consuming to transition to the use of our devices for existing products, or to secure approval for pipeline products targeted for use with our devices. If regulation of our customers’ products incorporating our devices increases over time, it is likely that this would adversely affect our sales and profitability.
Product defects could adversely affect the results of our operations.
     The design, manufacture and marketing of medical devices involve certain inherent risks. Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated use of our products, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of the product can lead to injury or other adverse events. These events could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to our products (either voluntary or required by the FDA or similar governmental authorities in other countries), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of a product from the market. Any recall could result in significant costs, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce demand for our products. Personal injuries relating to the use of our products can also result in product liability claims being brought against us. In some circumstances, such adverse events could also cause delays in new product approvals.
We may be sued for product liability, which could adversely affect our business.
     The design, manufacture and marketing of medical devices carries a significant risk of product liability claims. We may be held liable if any product we develop and commercialize causes injury or is found otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing, sale or consumer use. In addition, the safety studies we must perform and the regulatory approvals required to commercialize our medical safety products will not protect us from any such liability. We carry product liability insurance. However, if there were to be product liability claims against us, our insurance may be insufficient to cover the expense of defending against such claims, or may be insufficient to pay or settle such claims. Furthermore, we may be unable to obtain adequate product liability insurance coverage for commercial sales of any of our approved products. If such insurance is insufficient to protect us, our results of operations will suffer. If any product liability claim is made against us, our reputation and future sales will be damaged, even if we have adequate insurance coverage. We also intend to seek product liability insurance for any approved products that we may develop or acquire in the future. There is no guarantee that such coverage will be available when we seek it or at a reasonable cost to us.
We may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Table of Contents

     Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain protection in the United States and other countries of the intellectual property relating to or incorporated into our technology and products. Our intellectual property portfolio includes, in addition to trademarks and trade secrets, 24 issued patents in 13 countries, a significant number of patent applications pending in the United States, Australia and the countries covered under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. Our patents expire at various dates between 2018 and 2028. Our pending and future patent applications may not issue as patents or, if issued, may not issue in a form that will provide us with any competitive advantage. Even if issued, existing or future patents may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or circumvented, which could limit our ability to stop competitors from marketing similar products or limit the length of terms of patent protection we may have for our products. Changes in patent laws or their interpretation in the United States and other countries could also diminish the value of our intellectual property or narrow the scope of our patent protection. In addition, the legal systems of certain countries do not favor the aggressive enforcement of patents, and the laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours. In order to preserve and enforce our patent and other intellectual property rights, we may need to make claims or file lawsuits against third parties. This can entail significant costs to us and divert our management’s attention from developing and commercializing our products.
Intellectual property litigation could be costly and disruptive to us.
     The retractable syringe product lines in which we compete are relatively new inventions with numerous companies having patents. In recent years, there have been several patent infringement suits involving other industry participants. To-date, we have not been subject to any such patent infringement suits and also hold freedom to operate reports which we believe indicate that our technology and associated products are substantially different from other known patents. There is no assurance, however, that third parties will not assert any patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies used in our business. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel or require us to pay substantial damages. If we are unsuccessful in defending ourselves against these types of claims, we may be required to do one or more of the following:
    stop, delay or abandon our ongoing or planned commercialization of the product that is the subject of the suit;
 
    attempt to obtain a license to sell or use the relevant technology or substitute technology, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or
 
    redesign those products that use the relevant technology.
If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information and know-how, the value of our technology and products could be adversely affected.
     In addition to patented technology, we rely on our unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, processes and know-how. We generally seek to protect this information by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, scientific advisors and third parties. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors. To the extent that our employees, consultants or contractors use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.
Impairment of our goodwill, which represents a significant portion of our total assets, would adversely affect our net income and we may never realize the full value of our goodwill.
     A substantial portion of our assets is composed of goodwill, which we recorded as a result of our acquisition activities. Goodwill is subject to, at a minimum, an annual impairment assessment of its carrying value. Goodwill impairment is deemed to possibly exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Any material impairment of our goodwill would likely have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
     Currently, the majority of our revenues are derived from payments under our industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis which provides that sanofi-aventis will pay us in euros, while we incur most of our operating

10


Table of Contents

expenses in U.S. dollars or Australian dollars. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the value of our assets and liabilities, and the amount of our revenues and expenses. We do not currently try to mitigate our exposure to currency exchange rate risks by using hedging transactions. We cannot predict future changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and as a result, we may suffer losses as a result of future fluctuations.
Risk Factors Related to Our Shares of Common Stock
An active trading market for our shares of common stock in the United States may not develop and the trading price of our shares of common stock may fluctuate significantly.
     Our common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq only since February 16, 2010. If an active trading market does not develop in the United States, the market price and liquidity of our shares may be adversely affected.
     Prior to the redomiciliation which was completed on January 27, 2010, the ordinary shares of UMSL were traded on the ASX. After the redomiciliation, Unilife Corporation replaced UMSL as the listed entity on the ASX and its shares of common stock are now traded on the ASX in the form of CDIs. It is possible that the development of an active trading market in the United States may be adversely impacted by the existence of a trading market for CDIs in Australia.
     The price of our shares and CDIs, on both the Nasdaq and the ASX, may be volatile, which means that it could decline substantially within a short period of time. The trading price of the shares may fluctuate, and investors may experience a decrease in the value of the shares that they hold, sometimes regardless of our operating performance or prospects. The trading price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including the following:
    future announcements concerning our business and that of our competitors including in particular, the progress of our industrialization program for the Unifill syringe;
 
    regulatory developments, enforcement actions bearing on advertising, marketing or sales of our current or pipeline products;
 
    quarterly variations in operating results;
 
    introduction of new products or changes in product pricing policies by us or our competitors;
 
    acquisition or loss of significant customers, distributors or suppliers;
 
    business acquisitions or divestitures;
 
    changes in third party reimbursement practices;
 
    fluctuations of investor interest in the medical device sector; and
 
    fluctuations in the economy, world political events or general market conditions.
If there are substantial sales of our shares of common stock, our share price could decline.
     As of June 8, 2010, we had 54,604,696 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. All of those shares of common stock other than approximately 4,918,808 shares held by our affiliates, are freely tradable under the Securities Act. Shares held by our affiliates are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144. If our stockholders sell a large number of shares of common stock or the public market, should one develop, perceives that our stockholders might sell a large number of shares, the prices at which our common stock trades could decline significantly.
     In addition, as of the date of this registration statement, 10,567,976 shares of our common stock are subject to outstanding stock options. We have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to cover the issuance of 9,151,667 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options (4,889,001 of which are currently outstanding) or options that may be issued in the future under our employee benefit plans. This registration statement on Form S-1 is being filed to cover the resale of 5,444,633 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of options not eligible for inclusion in our registration statement on Form S-8. The exercise of those options may have a dilutive effect on current stockholders and if those parties exercising their options choose to sell their shares, it could have an adverse effect on the market price for our shares.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
     For the foreseeable future, we do not intend to declare or pay any dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business and product lines. Any future decision to declare or pay dividends will be made by our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors including our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, under our current bank financing agreements, we are not permitted to pay cash dividends without the prior written consent of the lender.
We may be subject to arbitrage risks.
     Investors may seek to profit by exploiting the difference, if any, in the price of our shares of common stock on the Nasdaq and on the ASX. Such arbitrage activities could cause our stock price in the market with the higher value to decrease to the price set by the market with the lower value.
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the terms of our industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis may delay or deter a change of control transaction.
     Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of deterring takeovers, such as those provisions authorizing our board of directors to issue, from time to time, any series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series of preferred stock; prohibiting stockholders from acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting; requiring advance notice of stockholder intention to put forth director nominees or bring up other business at a stockholders’ meeting; prohibiting stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders; requiring a 662/3% majority stockholder approval in order for stockholders to amend our bylaws or adopt new bylaws; and providing that, subject to the rights of preferred shares, the number of directors is to be fixed exclusively by our board of directors. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, from which we did not elect to opt out, provides that if a holder acquires 15% or more of our stock without prior approval of our board of directors, that holder will be subject to certain restrictions on its ability to acquire us within three years. In addition, our industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis provides to sanofi-aventis the right to match a change of control proposal and to terminate the industrialization agreement under certain circumstances of a change of control event. See “Business — Strategic Partnership with sanofi-aventis”. These provisions may delay or deter a change of control of us, and could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated and condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this registration statement. This discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this registration statement for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Redomiciliation
     On January 27, 2010, Unilife Medical Solutions Limited, an Australian corporation (“UMSL”), completed a redomiciliation from Australia to the State of Delaware pursuant to which shareholders and option holders of UMSL exchanged their interests in UMSL for equivalent interests in Unilife Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Unilife”) and Unilife became the parent company of UMSL and its subsidiaries. The redomiciliation was conducted by way of schemes of arrangement under Australian law. The issuance of Unilife common stock and stock options under the schemes of arrangement was exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the

15


Table of Contents

Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The redomiciliation was approved by the Australian Federal Court, and approved by UMSL shareholders and option holders.
     Under the schemes, holders of UMSL ordinary shares or share options received one share of Unilife common stock or an option to purchase one share of Unilife Corporation common stock, for every six UMSL ordinary shares or share options, respectively , held by such holders, unless the holder elected to receive in lieu of Unilife common stock, Chess Depositary Interests of Unilife, or CDIs (each representing one-sixth of one share of Unilife Corporation common stock, in which case such holder received one CDI for every UMSL ordinary share. All share and per share amounts in this registration statement have been restated to reflect the one for six share consolidation effected in connection with the redomiciliation.
     On February 16, 2010, Unilife’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “UNIS.”
Overview
     We are a U.S.-based medical device company focused on the design, development, manufacture and supply of a proprietary range of retractable syringes. Primary target customers for our products include pharmaceutical manufacturers and suppliers of medical equipment to healthcare facilities and distributors to patients who self-administer prescription medication. All of our syringes incorporate automatic and fully-integrated safety features which are designed to protect those at risk of needlestick injuries and other unsafe injection practices.
     Our main product is the Unifill ready-to-fill syringe, which is designed to be supplied to pharmaceutical manufacturers in a form that is ready for filling with their injectable drugs and vaccines. We have a strategic partnership with sanofi-aventis, a large global pharmaceutical company, pursuant to which it has paid us a 10.0 million euro exclusivity fee and has committed to pay us up to an additional 17.0 million euros to fund our industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. Upon the scheduled completion of the industrialization program in late 2010, we expect to commence the supply and sale of the Unifill syringe to sanofi-aventis. We are also in discussions with other pharmaceutical companies that are seeking to obtain access to the Unifill syringe.
     In addition, we have recently begun to manufacture our Unitract 1mL insulin syringes at our FDA-registered manufacturing facility in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania. Our Unitract 1mL syringes are designed primarily for use in healthcare facilities and by patients who self-administer prescription medication such as insulin. We have recently begun U.S. production of this syringe, which we expect to release commercially during July 2010.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that could affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following accounting policies require significant estimates, judgments and assumptions.
     Goodwill
     Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Goodwill is subject to, at a minimum, an annual impairment assessment of its carrying value. Additional impairment assessments would be performed if events and circumstances warranted such additional assessments during the year. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimated fair values of the reporting units are estimated using an earnings model and a discounted cash flow valuation model. The discounted cash flow model incorporates management’s estimates of future cash flows, allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting units, future growth rates and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates used to discount those estimated cash flows. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit, if lower than the carrying value of the respective reporting unit (such carrying value determined after management allocation of certain shared assets), would then be allocated to the reporting unit’s net identifiable assets based on their respective estimated fair values. The remaining unallocated reporting unit fair value, if any, would then be compared to the carrying amount of that unit’s goodwill and, if lower, the Company would recognize

an impairment charge to the extent of the deficiency. We did not record any goodwill impairments during fiscal 2009, 2008 or 2007.
     The Company currently has two reporting units, each a component of its single syringe manufacturing operating segment. One reporting unit is comprised of our contract manufacturing business which was acquired in our January 2007 acquisition of Integrated BioSciences, Inc. and primarily assembles syringes for its limited customers. This reporting unit has no goodwill. The second reporting unit is comprised of our developing Unitract and Unifill syringe business, the base technology which we obtained as part of our November 2002 acquisition of Unitract Syringe Pty Limited and the manufacturing capability which we obtained in our acquisition of Integrated BioSciences, Inc.
     In estimating the reporting unit’s fair value for purposes of the Company’s fiscal 2009 impairment assessments, management prepared a cash flow analysis for the following five years, limited to the expected cash flows from solely the Unitract business. Key assumptions used in the cash flow analysis included a) sales volume which was dependent on expected timing of the completion of the various phases of our production capabilities, b) selling prices we expect to achieve based on our market studies and indications from identified willing buyers of this product, c) gross margins of 26% to 40%, and d) a discount rate of 10%. While our Unitract syringe has only recently been commercialized after its regulatory approval in the United States and has yet to achieve significant sales, management believes that the assumptions used in the cash flow analysis are reasonable. Included in the cash flows analysis is expected expenditure needed to build up our Unitract production capability. While we expect the Unifill syringe business to be profitable, including a fairly short payback period on the costs to build production lines dedicated to the Unifill syringe, we did not include any of that expected business or development in our 2009 estimated cash flows analysis. Even without this Unifill business, the resulting estimated fair value of the Unitract portion of this reporting unit was in excess of the reporting unit’s entire carrying value by 68%.
     In addition to the above, management compared the estimated fair value of the Unitract business portion of our second reporting unit to the Company’s market capitalization as of June 30, 2009. Market capitalization of $55.7 million was well in excess of the Unitract business’ fair value. Management also considered that market capitalization through early November 2009 continued to be in excess of the Unitract business’ fair value, thereby providing some further assurance that the reporting unit is not impaired.
     Share-Based Compensation
     Share-based compensation expense relating to options to purchase common stock is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the related stock option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the exception of grants subject to market conditions which are valued based on Barrier and Monte Carlo option pricing models. These models use various assumptions including the expected dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility and the expected life. We have not historically paid dividends to our shareholders, and, as a result, we have assumed a dividend yield of 0%. The risk free interest rate is based upon the rates of Australian bonds with a term equal to that of the option. The expected volatility is based upon our historical share price. The expected life of the options to purchase common stock is based upon the outstanding contractual term of the stock option on the date of grant.
     Revenue Recognition
     We recognize revenue from licensing fees, industrialization efforts and products sold.
     In June 2008, we granted an exclusive licensing arrangement to allow our pharmaceutical partner to use certain of our intellectual property in order and solely to develop in collaboration with us, our Unifill syringe for use in and sale to the pre-filled syringe market. The up-front, non-refundable fee paid for this license is being amortized over the expected life of the related agreement. In late fiscal 2009, we entered into an industrialization agreement with our pharmaceutical partner, retroactive to July 2008, under which we received payments upon achievement of certain pre-defined milestones in our development of the Unifill syringe. Revenue is recognized upon achievement of the “at risk” milestone events, which represents the culmination of the earnings process related to such events. Milestones include specific phases of the project such as product design, prototype availability, user tests, manufacturing proof of principle and the various steps to complete the industrialization of the product. Specific payment amounts and completion dates were established for each milestone payment. Revenue recognized is

commensurate with the milestones achieved. Billings are similarly triggered, and we have no future performance obligations related to previous milestone payments. Each milestone payment is non-refundable when made.
     We recognize revenue from sales of products at the time of shipment and when title passes to the customer.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2009
Revenues. Revenues decreased by $3.5 million or 28.5%. Revenues from our industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis decreased from $7.3 million to $5.0 million due to the nature and timing of milestones achieved during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Revenues from our exclusive licensing agreement with sanofi-aventis increased from $1.8 million to $2.0 million. We have recognized and will continue to recognize the revenue from the exclusive licensing agreement on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement. Since these revenues are based in Australian dollars, the variations in revenues from the exclusive licensing agreement between the nine months ended March 31, 2009 results from fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates. Revenues from product sales of our contract manufacturing business decreased from $3.1 million to $1.7 million principally because most of our efforts have been devoted to the development of the Unifill syringe in fiscal 2010.

18


Table of Contents

Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased by $1.0 million or 33.8%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in product sales under our contract manufacturing sales activity, as no cost of sales were associated with the revenue recognized under the exclusive licensing and industrialization agreements.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $6.3 million, primarily as a result of $4.3 million incurred in connection with the issuance of 833,333 fully-vested shares of common stock to employees in consideration of their transfer to us of certain intellectual property rights. The increase was also a result of additional expenditures to finalize the product specifications of our Unifill syringe.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.1 million or 74.8%. During the later part of fiscal 2009 and the beginning of fiscal 2010, we increased the workforce at our Lewisberry, Pennsylvania facility, and as a result, we incurred payroll expenses and recruiting fees during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 of $6.3 million, an increase of $3.3 million compared to the same period last year Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we incurred legal and consulting fees of $4.6 million an increase of $3.1 million compared to the same period last year. The increase was due primarily to expenses we incurred related to our redomiciliation and Nasdaq listing. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded $2.5 million in share-based compensation expense, a decrease of $0.2 million compared to the same period last year. Our share-based compensation expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 included $1.5 million recorded in December 2008 for the issuance of 1.7 million shares of common stock to our Chief Executive Officer.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.1 million or 163.7% which was primarily attributable to $9.6 million of property, plant and equipment additions during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. We expect our depreciation and amortization expense to increase in the future as a result of the construction of our new headquarters and manufacturing facility and significant investments we have made and will continue to make to develop the facility, which includes the purchase of pilot machinery for the Unifill syringe.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million, primarily as a result of lower levels of outstanding debt. We expect that our interest expense will increase significantly in the future as we are seeking to obtain approximately $18.0 million in debt financing for the construction of our new headquarters and manufacturing facility.
Interest income. Interest income increased by $0.4 million, primarily as a result of higher cash balances during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Other expense. Other expense decreased by $0.2 million primarily a result of the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar.
Net loss and loss per share. Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $20.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.45 and $0.08, respectively, on weighted average shares outstanding of 44,882,882 and 34,963,610, respectively. The increase in the weighted average shares outstanding was primarily due to the issuance of common stock in connection with our October 2009 equity financing.
Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008
     Revenues. Revenues increased by $16.5 million or 470.7%. The increase was primarily attributable to $13.6 million in revenue recognized under our industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis based on milestones achieved during fiscal 2009. Additionally, we recognized $2.5 million in revenue under our exclusive licensing agreement with sanofi-aventis based on amortizing over the term of the related agreement the up front, non-refundable intellectual property licensing fee we received. Revenues from our contract manufacturing business decreased by $0.7 million in fiscal 2009.
     Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by $1.1 million or 44.0%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the cost of plastics and commodities we use to assemble certain of our products within our contract

19


Table of Contents

business line and to higher payroll-related expenses resulting from hiring additional manufacturing personnel. There was no cost of sales associated with the exclusive licensing or industrialization agreements.
     Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 97.0% primarily as a result of additional expenditures to finalize the product specifications of our Unifill syringe.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.7 million or 82.0%. During 2009, we significantly increased our workforce at our Lewisberry, Pennsylvania headquarters and manufacturing facility, which included hiring over ten management-level personnel for our operational, regulatory affairs and finance departments. As a result of these hires, we incurred $2.5 million in additional payroll, employee-related expenses and recruiting fees. In addition, we incurred $1.0 million in legal, consulting and professional fees, primarily related to our anticipated Nasdaq listing. Finally, during fiscal 2009, our share-based compensation expense, included in selling general and administrative expense, increased by $2.2 million. Of this increase, $1.5 million is due to the issuance of 1.7 million shares of common stock to our Chief Executive Officer in December 2008 and $0.7 million is due to additional expense resulting from significant issuances of stock options to employees, directors and consultants during fiscal 2009.
     Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.2 million or 26.4%, which was primarily attributable to $3.0 million we spent to purchase additional property, plant and equipment.
     Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million, primarily as a result of higher levels of outstanding debt during the prior year.
     Interest income. Interest income increased by $0.2 million during fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of fluctuations in interest rates.
     Other expense (income). Other expense during fiscal 2009 was $0.3 million compared to other income of $0.1 million during fiscal 2008, primarily as a result of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against Australian dollar.
     Income taxes. Due to the significant net operating losses recorded in recent years, we fully offset any related income tax benefits with increases to our valuation allowance, thereby resulting in no income tax provision or benefit recorded for either year.
     Loss per share Due to the factors described above, net losses for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $0.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively, with both basic and diluted losses per share totaling $0.02 and $0.26, respectively, on weighted average shares outstanding of 34,426,353 and 32,938,477 respectively. The increase in weighted-average shares outstanding is primarily due to 1.7 million shares of common stock issued to our chief executive officer in November 2008.
Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007
     Revenues. Revenues increased by $1.4 million or 69.1%. The increase was primarily attributable to a full year of contract manufacturing business as compared to only six months in fiscal 2007, resulting from the acquisition of Integrated BioSciences, Inc. in January 2007.
     Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by $0.9 million or 57.3%. The increase was primarily attributable to a full year of contract manufacturing business as compared to only six months in fiscal 2007, resulting from the acquisition of Integrated BioSciences, Inc. in January 2007.
     Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 100.8% primarily as a result of additional expenditures related to the development of our Unifill syringe.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million or 26.4%. The increase is attributable to a full year of contract manufacturing business as compared to only six months in fiscal 2007, resulting from the acquisition of Integrated BioSciences, Inc. in January 2007. The

20


Table of Contents

increase is also attributable to a $0.3 million increase in non-cash compensation expense, which is included in selling general and administrative expense.
     Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.5 million or 276.3%, which was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Integrated BioSciences, Inc. in January 2007.
     Impairment of property, plant and equipment and associated loss on sale. During fiscal 2007, we ceased operations at an Australian facility and made the determination not to relocate the manufacturing equipment to the new U.S. facility. As a result, we recorded an impairment on property, plant and equipment of $0.5 million. We sold the equipment and recorded a loss of $1.6 million.
     Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $0.1 million, primarily as a result of lower interest expense related to the convertible notes issued during December 2006, as a majority of the notes were converted during fiscal 2007.
     Interest income. Interest income increased by $0.1 million, primarily as a result of fluctuations in interest rates.
     Other expense (income). Other income during fiscal 2008 and 2007 was $0.1 million.
     Income taxes. Due to the significant net operating losses recorded over the recent years, we fully offset any related income tax benefits with increases to our valuation allowance, thereby resulting in no income tax provision or benefit recorded for either year.
     Loss per share. Due to the factors described above, net losses for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $8.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively, with both basic and diluted losses per share totaling $0.26 and $0.38, respectively, on weighted average shares outstanding of 32,938,477 and 23,413,811 respectively. The increase in weighted average shares outstanding is due to issuances of common stock related to the private placement and conversion of convertible debt into common stock during fiscal 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     To date, we have funded our operations primarily from a combination of equity issuances by UMSL prior to the redomiciliation, borrowings under our bank term loans and payments from sanofi-aventis under our exclusive licensing and industrialization agreements. As of June 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were $3.6 million and our debt was $3.1 million. As described below, since July 1, 2009, we have also raised approximately A$50.9 million ($47.l million) in equity financing. We also expect to receive $5.2 million in assistance from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and 4.0 million euros of additional milestone-based payments from sanofi-aventis under the industrialization agreement during fiscal 2010. As of March 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $24.8 million, short-term investments in certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than 90 days were $9.2 million and our debt was $2.8 million. We believe that our cash on hand, together with the amount described above will be sufficient to fund our operations and business expansion activities (other than the full development of a new manufacturing facility) through the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
     In October and November 2009, we raised an aggregate of A$50.9 million ($47.1 million) through a combination of a US and Australian private placement and a share purchase plan for our Australian and New Zealand shareholders. We also issued options to purchase 3.1 million shares for no additional consideration to the investors in the private placement. Of these options, 50% are exercisable at A$7.50 per share, and 50% are exercisable at A$12.00 per share. We also issued options to purchase 497,662 shares to certain brokers as consideration for their services in connection with the private placement, which are exercisable at A$5.10 per shares. All of the options described above will expire in November 2012. The proceeds from the private placement and the share purchase plan will be used to accelerate the expansion of our U.S. operational capabilities and production facilities, to purchase capital equipment and complete the industrialization program for the Unifill syringe.
     In October 2009, we accepted a $5.2 million offer of assistance from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The offer includes $2.0 million for the development of our new global headquarters and manufacturing facility as well as up to $2.0 million in low-interest financing loans for land, building, acquisition and construction costs. The offer also includes a $0.5 million opportunity grant as well as $0.5 million in tax credits. Finally, the offer includes up to

21


Table of Contents

$0.2 million for the reimbursement of eligible job training costs. The offer is based on our proposed project being expected to create more than 200 new full-time jobs by December 31, 2012, to retain our 141 existing employees and to have a total cost of $86.0 million and is contingent upon us submitting complete applications for each of these programs. The $2.0 million for the development of our new global headquarters and manufacturing facility is contingent on the Pennsylvania legislature passing legislation raising the authorized debt level for the program under which that portion of the assistance would be provided. As the offer of assistance requires us to make formal applications for these programs, there may be a number of contingencies relating to the amount, if any, of funds that we may receive, the period over which we may receive those funds and our right to retain any funds that we do receive. We may have obligations under the programs that we may be unable to fulfill. We expect that these contingencies and our obligations under the programs will be more clearly identified during the application process. As a result, at this time, we cannot assure you that we will receive or have the right to retain all or any of the assistance for our current development project or otherwise.
     We are in the process of developing a new manufacturing facility in central Pennsylvania. We estimate the total cost of the development to be approximately $27.0 million. We intend to fund approximately $9.0 million of the cost from our own cash reserves and seek external financing for up to approximately $18.0 million for construction during the next 12 months.
     We funded the costs of the redomiciliation through cash from operations and cash on hand. These expenditures have been expensed as incurred. Additionally, we will incur increased costs as a result of becoming a U.S. reporting company, primarily in areas of human resources, tax, risk management, accounting and financial reporting, investor relations, legal and other services.
     We expect that the costs we will incur in connection with the completion of our industrialization program will be offset by the revenue we earn under the industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis.
     The following table summarizes our cash flows during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007:

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010 compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2009
Net Cash (Used In) Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $8.8 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in cash flow was primarily due to the receipt of $13.0 million under the exclusive licensing agreement with sanofi-aventis in 2008, $1.8 million of which was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $18.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, as a result of $9.6 million of costs incurred in connection with the purchase of machinery related to the pilot lines for our Unifill syringe as well as the purchase of the land in connection with our new headquarters and manufacturing facility. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we purchased $9.1 million in certificates of deposits.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $49.1 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we received $47.1 million from the issuance of common stock related to our private placement and share purchase plan, and $1.8 million upon the exercise of stock options. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we elected to terminate a licensing agreement that we determined was no longer consistent with our business strategies, and, as a final settlement, we repaid $2.3 million of the $3.0 million that we had originally received in 2008 under the licensing agreement, while retaining $0.7 million to cover related legal fees.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008
     Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities
     Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2009 was $6.8 million compared to net cash used in operating activities $7.6 million during fiscal 2008. The increase in cash flow was primarily due to $10.4 million of higher net income after adding back depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense. The increase was also attributable to $9.8 million of deferred revenue recorded in connection with our exclusivity agreement with sanofi-aventis, which was partially offset by amounts due from sanofi aventis under our industrialization agreement. These agreements were entered into during fiscal 2009.
     Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
     Net cash used in investing activities increased by $2.3 million, primarily due to significant costs incurred in connection with the production of machinery used in the manufacturing of our Unitract 1 mL Syringe. Additionally, during fiscal 2009, we incurred significant leasehold improvement costs at our Lewisberry, Pennsylvania headquarters and manufacturing facility.
     During fiscal 2010, we expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $12.0 million to purchase machinery required to manufacture our Unifill syringe and approximately $1.5 million to purchase machinery for the production of our Unitract 1 mL syringe. We may incur additional, less significant capital expenditures for general equipment, furniture and fixtures.
     Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
     Net cash used in financing activities was $3.3 million during fiscal 2009 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $7.9 million during fiscal 2008. During fiscal 2009, we elected to terminate a licensing agreement that we determined was no longer consistent with our business strategies, and, as a final settlement, we repaid $2.3 million of the $3.0 million that we had originally received in 2008 under the licensing agreement, while retaining $0.7 million to cover related legal fees. During fiscal 2008, we received $2.8 million from the issuance of common stock and $1.9 million from the issuance of convertible debt.
Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007
     Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
     Net cash used in operating activities was $7.6 million during fiscal 2008 as compared to $5.0 million during fiscal 2007. The increase in cash flow was primarily due to $0.9 million of lower income after adding back depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, impairment and a loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment in connection with the closing of a factory in Australia.
     Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
     Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.7 million during fiscal 2008 due to a decrease in the purchase of property, plant and equipment. During fiscal 2007, we incurred significant up-front fees in connection with the production of our machinery used to manufacture our 1mL syringe.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”)”. SFAS 168 represents the last numbered standard issued by the FASB under the old (pre-codification) numbering system, and amends the GAAP hierarchy. On July 1, 2009, the FASB launched its new codification (i.e. the FASB Accounting Standards Codification — “ASC”). The codification supersedes existing GAAP for nongovernmental entities.
     In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard included in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, formerly SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” ASC 855 sets forth: 1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; 2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and 3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.
     In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 provides amendments to the criteria in Subtopic 605-24 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. It establishes a hierarchy of selling prices to determine the selling price of each specific deliverable which includes vendor-specific objective evidence (if available), third-party evidence (if vendor-specific evidence is not available) or estimated selling price if neither of the first two are available. ASU 2009-13 also eliminates the residual method for allocating revenue between the elements of an arrangement and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement. Finally, ASU 2009-13 expands the

Table of Contents

disclosure requirements regarding a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
     We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows.
     Interest Rate Risk
     Our exposure to interest rate risk is limited to our cash that is invested in money market funds with highly liquid short term investments and our variable interest rate term loans. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to mitigate changes in interest rates.
     Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations
The majority of our revenues are derived from payments under our industrialization agreement received in euros while we incur most of our expenses in U.S. dollars and Australian dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents and investments are held at Australian banking institutions and are denominated in Australian dollars. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks on these amounts. We currently do not utilize options or forward contracts to mitigate changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For U.S. reporting purposes, we translate all assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. entities into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the end of the related period and we translate all revenues and expenses of our non-U.S. entities using the average exchange rate during the applicable period.

BUSINESS
     Overview
     We are a U.S. based medical device company focused on the design, development, manufacture and supply of a proprietary range of retractable syringes. Primary target customers for our products include pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers of medical equipment to healthcare facilities, and distributors to patients who self-administer prescription medication. All of our syringes incorporate automatic and fully-integrated safety features which are designed to protect those at risk of needlestick injuries and injury from other unsafe injection practices. Our main product is the Unifill ready-to-fill syringe, which is designed to be supplied to pharmaceutical manufacturers in a form that is ready for filling with their injectable drugs and vaccines. We have a strategic partnership with sanofi-aventis, a large global pharmaceutical company, pursuant to which it has paid us a 10.0 million euro exclusivity fee and has committed to pay us up to an additional 17.0 million euros to fund our industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. Upon the scheduled completion of the industrialization program in late 2010, we expect to commence the supply and sale of the Unifill syringe to sanofi-aventis. We are also in discussions with other pharmaceutical companies that are seeking to obtain access to the Unifill syringe. In addition, we have recently begun to manufacture our Unitract 1mL insulin syringes at our FDA-registered manufacturing facility in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania.
     In the United States and a number of other sophisticated healthcare markets, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, as well as pharmaceutical manufacturers who supply injectable drugs and vaccines in a prefilled syringe format, are increasingly required to comply with legislation aimed at protecting healthcare workers from the risk of acquiring blood-borne diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C via needlestick injuries. Our core portfolio of safety syringe products, including the Unifill syringe and the Unitract 1mL syringes, are designed for supply to pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare facilities which are seeking to comply with these needlestick prevention laws. We expect our products will also be used by patients who self-administer prescription medication outside of the healthcare setting. The safety features incorporated into our products include an automatic needle retraction mechanism which allows operators to control the rate of needle withdrawal directly from the body into the barrel of the syringe, as well as an independent auto-disable mechanism to prevent product tampering or re-use. The integration of these safety features within the barrel is designed to make them intuitive to use and compact in size for convenient handling and disposal.
     The Unifill syringe is targeted for use by pharmaceutical manufacturers who utilize pre-filled (ready-to-fill) syringes as a preferred drug delivery device for injectable drugs and vaccines. We are aware of more than 50 drug products used within healthcare facilities, or by patients who self-administer prescription medication, that are currently available in a prefilled syringe format. We have designed the Unifill syringe for integration into the manufacturing systems currently used by target pharmaceutical customers to fill and package standard prefilled syringes. To our knowledge, our Unifill product is the only known prefilled syringe with automatic safety features which are integrated inside the glass barrel.
     We have signed an exclusive licensing agreement and an industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis, who we believe to be the single largest global purchaser of pre-filled syringes. Under the exclusive licensing agreement, sanofi-aventis paid us a 10.0 million euro upfront one-time fee, and we granted sanofi-aventis a license to certain of our intellectual property in order and solely to develop, in collaboration with us, the Unifill syringe. Pursuant to the exclusive licensing agreement, we are negotiating a list of therapeutic drugs classes with respect to which sanofi-aventis would have the exclusive right to the product for a specified term, during which sanofi-aventis would purchase the product exclusively from us. We have retained the right to negotiate other business arrangements with additional pharmaceutical companies seeking to market the product for use within therapeutic drug classes outside of those exclusive to sanofi-aventis, or after the expiration of the exclusive license with sanofi-aventis.
     Under the industrialization agreement, sanofi-aventis has agreed to provide us with up to 17.0 million euros in payments based upon milestones to be achieved under the industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. We expect to complete this program in late 2010. We have received payments of 11.5 million euros under the industrialization agreement from October 2008 through December 2009. Although we have received the exclusivity fee and industrialization payments from sanofi-aventis, to date we have not received any product revenues from sales of the Unifill syringe and our revenues in respect of this product to date consist solely of the exclusivity fee and industrialization payments. We describe our arrangements with sanofi-aventis in more detail under “Strategic Partnership with sanofi-aventis.” We are also aware of more than 20 other pharmaceutical companies that supply

injectable drugs in a prefilled syringe format, and we have received interest in the Unifill syringe from a number of these companies.
     Our Unitract 1mL syringes are designed primarily for use in healthcare facilities and by patients who self-administer prescription medication such as insulin. We have recently begun U.S. production of this syringe, which we expect to release commercially during July 2010. During March 2010, we signed an exclusive five year agreement with Stason Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. based pharmaceutical company, to market our Unitract 1mL syringe in Japan, China and Taiwan. Under the agreement, the pharmaceutical partner is required to purchase a minimum of 1.0 million units of the Unitract 1mL syringe per year during the term of the contract. We have received regulatory clearance for the marketing and sale of the Unitract 1mL syringe in the United States, the European Union, Canada and Australia. We have also filed patents for other clinical and prefilled safety syringe products that may incorporate certain aspects of our core technology for future commercialization. Our in-house team has fully designed, developed, built and validated, to the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and ISO 13485, the automated assembly system that we use to support production of our Unitract 1mL syringe at our FDA-registered manufacturing facility in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania. We consider our ability to design and develop highly sophisticated, innovative medical devices, and the automated assembly systems we use to manufacture them, to be a core business competency.
     We also have an original equipment manufacturer relationship with B. Braun Medical, Inc., a multinational healthcare equipment company. We refer to this as our contract manufacturing business. Under our contract with B. Braun, we assemble a selection of their non-proprietary specialty syringes. We purchase the pre-manufactured syringe components from various third party suppliers. We then assemble the syringes on a build to order basis and perform the related quality inspections and then sell the assembled product to B. Braun. We ship the stock that we assemble to B. Braun for its own commercial use, in areas such as insertion into specialty procedural kits. During the year ended June 30, 2009, we recognized revenues of $3.1 million under our contact with B. Braun, which represented 15.6% of our total revenues during that year. The contract manufacturing business was historically operated by Integrated BioSciences, Inc. which we acquired in January 2007. We are currently concentrating substantially all of our commercial and operational efforts towards the commercialization of our proprietary medical devices, namely the Unifill syringe and the Unitract 1mL syringe, and do not expect the contract manufacturing business to represent a significant portion of our business going forward. Our contract with B. Braun expired in December 2009 and, although we currently continue to operate under the terms of this contract, we do not know whether we will renew it.
Market Opportunity
     The Syringe Market and the Increasing Use of Pre-Filled Syringes
     According to the International Association of Safe Injection Technology, approximately 35 billion syringes are manufactured every year, half of which are used within sophisticated healthcare markets such as North America, Europe, Japan and Australia. The majority of therapeutic injections occur within healthcare facilities such as acute-care hospitals and long-term care centers. Other sectors of the global syringe market include patients who self-administer prescription medication such as insulin, government agencies which sponsor harm reduction programs, and non-government organizations which conduct vaccination programs.
     Injectable drugs and vaccines have traditionally been supplied in a vial or ampoule, with the operator required to draw up a measured dose of medication into a conventional plastic syringe immediately prior to an injection. Prefilled syringes typically utilize a glass barrel and are filled by pharmaceutical manufacturers so that they are ready for use prior to shipment. While conventional syringes make up the vast majority of syringes used, prefilled syringes are becoming an increasingly popular method of drug delivery.
     We are aware of more than 50 drugs and vaccines that are currently available in a prefilled syringe format from more than 20 pharmaceutical companies, and believe that a number of pipeline drugs are likely to be supplied in this format in the future. Greystone Associates, a medical and health care technology consulting firm, has estimated that approximately 2.23 billion prefilled syringes will be used globally in 2009, and that this number will increase significantly in the coming years. Drugs that are currently supplied in a prefilled syringe format include anti-coagulants to prevent and treat thrombosis, anti-inflammatories to treat rheumatoid arthritis, anti-infectives to

27


Table of Contents

treat hepatitis B and C, hematological drugs to stimulate production of red or white blood cells to treat anemia or fight infection, and vaccines which seek to prevent a range of diseases. We expect that prefilled syringes will also be increasingly used in the coming years as a drug delivery device for other therapeutic drug classes including obstetrics, oncology, osteoporosis and human growth hormone treatment.
     Prefilled syringes have a number of advantages over conventional plastic syringes. First, prefilled syringes help pharmaceutical companies improve manufacturing efficiencies through the elimination of drug wastage commonly associated with the overfilling of multi-use vials. Second, healthcare workers often prefer prefilled syringes because they can facilitate a relatively fast, accurate and convenient administration of a drug. Furthermore, a pre-measured dose of an injectable drug in a prefilled syringe can help reduce the risk of dosing errors. Finally, the relative ease-of-use by patients of prefilled syringes also makes them suitable for the self-administration of many types of prescription medication.
     Increased Focus on Prevention of Needlestick Injuries
     The World Health Organization estimates that 1.3 million people die each year as a result of needlestick injuries, syringe re-use, and other unsafe injection practices. Needlestick injuries and syringe sharing can result in the transmission of a number of blood-borne diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 385,000 needlestick and other sharps-related injuries are sustained by U.S. hospital-based healthcare personnel each year. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, estimates that when other secondary healthcare settings are also taken into account, there are as many as 800,000 needlestick injuries to U.S. healthcare workers each year. To help minimize the transmission of blood-borne pathogens caused by unsafe injection practices, many international healthcare and pharmaceutical markets are transitioning to the mandatory use of safety syringes.
     In sophisticated healthcare markets, governments are focused on the mandatory use of safety devices within healthcare facilities to protect healthcare workers from the risk of acquiring blood-borne pathogens such as HIV-AIDS and hepatitis C via needlestick injuries. The United States was the first nation to mandate the use of safety syringes within healthcare facilities, with the adoption of the Federal Needlestick Prevention Act in 2000, or FNSPA, and the subsequent revision to the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (BPS). According to the International Healthcare Worker Safety Center at the University of Virginia Health System, approximately one in five healthcare facilities that were inspected by OSHA between 2002 and 2007 have been issued with citations for non-compliance with the BPS.
     The European Union is also considering the introduction of legislation requiring member countries to use needlestick prevention products within healthcare facilities, while other countries such as Canada and Australia have also taken steps to encourage the use of safety syringes. As a result of this existing and proposed legislation, safety syringes are now commonly used within the healthcare facilities in a number of countries.
     The United States represents the largest and most mature market for safety syringes, with a substantial majority of hypodermic syringes and needles used within acute-care facilities featuring some type of needlestick prevention device. Notwithstanding the increased use of safety syringes, we believe that current safety syringe technologies are in several respects inadequate to fully protect healthcare workers from infection risk caused by needlestick injuries or other potential transmission modes. First, most products currently available require operators to manually slide an external plastic guard or sheath over the needle after use, or retract the needle into the barrel at a rapid, uncontrolled rate. Second, healthcare workers may choose to remove or not activate the safety feature of some types of safety syringe products. Moreover, activation of the needle retraction mechanism in the open air for some retractable syringes, rather than inside the body of the patient, may create the potential risk of infection via needlestick injuries or aerosol (splatter).
     OSHA differentiates safety features in two primary ways. First, it differentiates passive safety features which “remain in effect before, during and after use” from active devices which “require the worker to activate the safety mechanism.” Second, OSHA regulations state that products with an “integrated safety design that is an integral part of the device and cannot be removed” are usually preferred to those with an accessory safety device with safety features that are “external” and “dependent on employee compliance.” We believe the majority of safety syringe products used in U.S. healthcare facilities incorporate active safety features which are not fully integrated within the barrel of the syringe.

28


Table of Contents

     We are not aware of any prefilled syringe with passive safety features that are integrated within the glass barrel. To improve compliance with legislation such as the FNSPA, a number of pharmaceutical companies attach ancillary safety products onto standard prefilled syringes following dose filling and prior to packaging. We estimate that approximately half of the drugs currently available in prefilled syringe format are supplied by the pharmaceutical manufacturer with an ancillary safety device. The majority of these ancillary safety products slide an external plastic sheath or guard over the needle once the injection has been completed.
     It is costly for pharmaceutical companies to purchase these ancillary safety products and the automated assembly systems required to attach them onto a standard prefilled syringe. The relatively large size of prefilled syringes supplied with an ancillary safety device can also significantly increase the shipment and packaging costs of pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, some of these prefilled syringes supplied with an ancillary safety device require the removal of the safety device from the syringe prior to use, creating the risk of infection via needlestick injury or aerosol (splatter). Thus, we believe that there is a significant market opportunity for a prefilled syringe with passive and integrated safety features that is compatible with pharmaceutical companies’ drug filling systems.
     We also believe there are significant market opportunities for the use of conventional and prefilled safety syringes outside of mainstream healthcare facilities. In addition to insulin, a range of other injectable drugs designed for the prevention and/or treatment of chronic or debilitating conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis and thrombosis are now available for self-administration. We believe the popularity of safety syringes among patients who self-administer prescription medication may increase due to their capacity to prevent needlestick injuries to family members and encourage safe, convenient disposal. When purchased with a prescription, a number of insurance providers in the U.S. now cover safety insulin syringes under the same tier level for reimbursement as standard insulin syringes.
     We believe that another market which may in the future transition towards the mandatory use of non-reusable safety syringes is the harm reduction market, where governments provide free or subsidized syringes to injecting drug users, or IDUs. The reuse and sharing of syringes by IDUs has been identified as a prime accelerant in the transmission of blood-borne diseases and is responsible for one-third of new HIV infections outside sub-Saharan Africa. The governments of more than 60 countries worldwide now sponsor harm reduction programs which seek to minimize unsafe injection practices by IDUs. While these programs have proven largely effective in preventing or containing HIV epidemics, the continued sharing of standard syringes among IDUs has contributed to the continuation of national epidemics of the relatively more infectious hepatitis C. Furthermore, the unsafe disposal of syringes in public areas creates public concern regarding the risk of needlestick injury. Recognizing the scale of HIV and hepatitis C epidemics, and the substantial economic costs associated with their long-term treatment, many governments are considering the use of single use, safety syringes as a way to enforce safe injection practices among IDUs.
Our Solution
     Our clinical and prefilled safety syringes incorporate automatic, also known as passive, safety features which are fully integrated within the barrel. They are designed to assist pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare facilities comply with needlestick prevention laws and to encourage single use and safe disposal practices outside of healthcare settings. We consider the following combination of core proprietary features available in our safety products to be unique within the marketplace:
    Integrated design. All safety features are fully integrated inside the syringe barrel to facilitate compact handling, intuitive use and convenient disposal.
 
    Passive retraction. The activation of the needle retraction mechanism occurs automatically while the needle is inside the body to help prevent the risk of needlestick injury.
 
    Controlled retraction. Operators can control the speed of needle retraction directly from the body into the syringe barrel to help reduce the risk of infection through transmission routes such as needlestick injuries and aerosol (splatter).
 
    Auto-disable. Upon withdrawal of the needle into the barrel, the plunger is automatically locked to prevent re-exposure or reuse.

Table of Contents

     We have utilized this core proprietary technology to design and develop a range of prefilled and clinical safety syringes. Furthermore, we are not aware of any other company that is manufacturing safety syringes with automatic, integrated safety features in both a prefilled (glass) and clinical (plastic) format which share the same common technology platform.
     Key target markets for our products include pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facilities and patients who self-administer prescription medication. We believe that the majority of our products would be supplied, either directly or through pharmaceutical customers, for use within sophisticated healthcare markets such as North America, Western Europe and some Asia-Pacific countries that require or are transitioning toward the mandatory use of safety syringes.
Business Strategy
     Our goal is to progressively move to the forefront of the international transition of healthcare and pharmaceutical markets to the mandatory use of prefilled and clinical safety syringes. We believe that the competitive strength of our proprietary technology puts us in a strong position to become an established and preferred supplier of “best-in-class” safety syringe products to pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facilities and patients who self-administer prescription medication.
     Key elements of our business strategy are the development, production and sale of our patent-protected safety syringes, the continued expansion of our global operational and commercial presence and the establishment of long-term supply relationships with multinational pharmaceutical and healthcare equipment companies. We are committed to designing, developing and supplying innovative medical devices that can enhance and save lives. We plan to:
    Continue to build a strong relationship with sanofi-aventis: We believe sanofi-aventis is currently the world’s largest consumer of prefilled syringes. We have had a business relationship with sanofi-aventis since 2003, and under our industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis, they are funding our industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. Upon completion of the industrialization program, we expect to begin supplying the product to sanofi-aventis for use within defined therapeutic drug classes.
 
    Enter into business relationships with additional pharmaceutical companies: We have retained the right to negotiate licensing and other business arrangements relating to the Unifill syringe with other pharmaceutical companies for use within those therapeutic drug classes outside of those held by sanofi-aventis during its period of exclusivity. It is our intention to secure agreements with other additional pharmaceutical companies who are industry leaders within their respective therapeutic areas of expertise. By pursuing this strategy, we believe our products can be marketed within a significant number of large therapeutic drug classes where prefilled syringes are commonly used.
 
    Expand our proprietary product portfolio: We will seek to enhance our competitive position in the design, development and supply of innovative safety medical devices for use within international pharmaceutical and healthcare markets. In addition to the production and supply of the Unifill syringe and the Unitract 1mL syringes, we intend to commercialize a number of additional proprietary products which we believe can also meet the functionality and safety requirements of target customers. This may include the commercialization of our range of Unitract Clinical Syringes in a 3mL and 5mL size targeted for use within acute care hospitals and other healthcare facilities. We may also commercialize additional ready-to-fill syringe products currently in our development pipeline which, like the Unifill syringe, would be designed for supply to pharmaceutical manufacturers. While our focus will remain on the pursuit of organic growth opportunities, we may evaluate opportunities to acquire other complementary technologies or products on a case-by-case basis.
 
    Expand our operational capabilities within Central Pennsylvania: The United States represents the world’s largest and most mature market for the supply and use of our products and services. We will continue to consolidate the majority of our commercial and operational activities within Central Pennsylvania, a national logistics hub situated between several major pharmaceutical and medical device industry clusters. We intend to make a significant investment in the expansion of our operational

30


Table of Contents

      capabilities within Pennsylvania to support the commercialization of our core products, such as the Unifill syringe.
 
    Manufacture and supply our Unitract 1mL Syringes to target international markets: We commenced production of the Unitract range of 1mL safety syringes at our facility in Pennsylvania in August 2009. We expect to release this product commercially during July 2010. Product variants within this range have been certified for marketing and sale within key international territories including the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. We intend to continue to expand our customer base of pharmaceutical companies and healthcare distributors for the marketing and sale of the Unitract 1mL syringes.
Our Products
     Unifill syringe
     Our Unifill ready-to-fill syringe is, to our knowledge, the only prefilled syringe with passive (automatic) and fully integrated safety features. Manufacturing features include a staked needle with a glass barrel that requires shaping at only one end to allow sourcing from a multitude of glass cartridge suppliers, and the development of components in the fluid path that use the same materials as standard prefilled syringes to facilitate drug compatibility. The product is designed to be a safe, compact and intuitive primary drug container suitable for use within healthcare facilities and by patients who self-administer prescription medication.
     The Unifill syringe is designed to fit the manufacturing systems currently used by pharmaceutical customers to load and package a measured dose of an injectable drug into a standard prefilled syringe. We believe the use of the Unifill syringe by a pharmaceutical customer can eliminate its need to purchase and attach ancillary safety products onto standard prefilled syringes to comply with needlestick prevention legislation. In addition to reducing production costs associated with the purchase and attachment of these ancillary devices, we believe our product can also significantly reduce comparable shipping and storage costs. The compact size, intuitive use, functionality and automatic safety features of the Unifill syringe may also help pharmaceutical companies extend product lifecycles, increase levels of market differentiation in competitive therapeutic areas, and expand the marketability of some drugs for convenient self-administration by patients outside of the healthcare setting.
     We commenced initial pilot production of the Unifill syringe at our Lewisberry, Pennsylvania facility in 2008. We intend to file a Type III Drug Master File for the product with relevant regulatory authorities such as the FDA, although it is the ultimate responsibility of the pharmaceutical customer to obtain final approval of the combination drug-delivery device. We expect that the commencement of product sales will coincide with the completion of the industrialization program with sanofi-aventis.
     Unitract 1mL syringes
     The Unitract 1mL range of safety syringes is primarily designed for the subcutaneous injection of drugs within healthcare facilities and by patients who self-administer prescription medication such as insulin. In addition to insulin and tuberculin variants, the Unitract 1mL range also includes the Unitract safe syringe which is custom-designed for use by governments that utilize harm reduction (needle exchange) programs to prevent the reuse, sharing and unsafe disposal practices of IDUs. Unlike the Unifill ready-to-fill syringe, the Unitract 1mL syringes require healthcare workers or patients to draw up the dose from a vial or ampoule immediately prior to the injection.
     We have received regulatory certification for the marketing and sale of various Unitract 1mL syringe products in the United States, Australia and Canada and have received CE Mark approval in the European Union. We commenced initial production of Unitract 1mL syringes in China during 2008 to support regulatory approval and marketing activities. In August 2009, we commenced production of the Unitract 1mL syringes at our Pennsylvania facility utilizing an automated assembly system that we designed and built in-house. During April 2010, we received clearance from the FDA to permit us to commence commercial sales of U.S. manfactured stock for our Unitract 1mL syringe.

     Pipeline Products
     We also hold additional syringe-related intellectual property for products which we intend to commercialize in the future. These pipeline products include a range of plastic clinical syringes to be developed in a range of larger sizes such as 3mL and 5mL. We believe that commercialization of this pipeline range of larger clinical syringes would further improve our opportunities to market and sell our products within healthcare facilities such as acute-care hospitals. We have also designed and filed patents for a number of other safety syringe products that utilize our proprietary technology. We intend to continue to expand our competitive position within target pharmaceutical and healthcare markets through the commercialization of a number of these other pipeline products.
Strategic Partnership with sanofi-aventis
     We started to collaborate with sanofi-aventis in 2003 for the development of the Unifill syringe as a next-generation drug delivery safety device. Sanofi-aventis is a large, global pharmaceutical company, whose products span multiple therapeutic areas, including cardiovascular diseases, thrombosis, oncology, metabolic diseases, internal medicine and vaccines. We believe that sanofi-aventis is currently the world’s largest purchaser of prefilled syringes.
     We have signed an exclusive licensing agreement with sanofi-aventis. Under the exclusive licensing agreement, we have granted sanofi-aventis an exclusive license to certain of our intellectual property in order and solely to develop, in collaboration with us, the Unifill syringe for use in and sale to the prefilled syringe market within those therapeutic areas agreed upon between us, and a non-exclusive license outside those therapeutic areas that are exclusive to sanofi-aventis or after the expiration of the exclusive license with sanofi-aventis.
     We and sanofi-aventis have recently agreed on a list of therapeutic drug classes that are exclusive to sanofi-aventis. These areas include the full therapeutic classes of antithrombotic agents and vaccines and an additional six smaller subgroups that fall within other therapeutic classes that we believe represent new market opportunities in the pharmaceutical use of prefilled syringes.
     Pursuant to the exclusive licensing agreement, sanofi-aventis has paid to us a 10.0 million euros upfront one-time fee. The exclusive license granted thereunder has an initial term expiring on June 30, 2014. If, during the term of the exclusive license, sanofi-aventis has purchased the Unifill syringe for use with a particular drug product, sanofi-aventis will receive a ten-year extension of the term of the exclusive license, which extension will be reduced to five years if sanofi-aventis does not sell a minimum of 20 million units of the product in any of the first five years of such ten-year extension period.
     Under the exclusive licensing agreement, we are not precluded from using certain of our intellectual property to develop, license and sell any products in any market other than the ready-to-fill syringe market, or from entering into licensing or other business arrangements with other pharmaceutical companies for the ready-to-fill syringe market outside those therapeutic areas that are exclusive to sanofi-aventis, or after the expiration of the exclusive license with sanofi-aventis. If we grant a license to a third party in respect of the ready-to-fill syringe market, then we are required to pay sanofi-aventis 70% of any access, license or other upfront fee received from such third party for access to purchase the products until our payments to sanofi-aventis have totaled 10.0 million euros, following which we are required to pay 30% of such fees we receive through the end of the initial exclusivity period. We are also required to pay sanofi-aventis an annual royalty payment of 5% of the revenue generated from any sale of the Unifill syringe to third parties, up to a maximum amount of 17.0 million euros in such royalty payments.
     On June 30, 2009, we signed an industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis. The industrialization agreement sets forth the terms for the collaboration between the parties to design, develop, scale up and industrialize the Unifill syringe, including the timetable and milestones for the industrialization program. Under the industrialization agreement, sanofi-aventis has agreed to provide up to 17.0 million euros in payments to us based on milestones we achieve in our industrialization program. The industrialization program began in July 2008 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010. From October 2008 through December 2009, we have received payments of 11.5 million euros under the industrialization agreement. Key hurdles which remain until we complete the

Table of Contents

industrialization program include the development of a pilot automated assembly system, the completion of a new manufacturing facility and the establishment of a designated cleanroom for the installation of the automated assembly system. The industrialization agreement required sanofi-aventis to provide a list to us that specifies therapeutic drug classes for which it seeks to market the Unifill syringe on an exclusive basis. We and sanofi-aventis are discussing the exclusivity list sanofi-aventis provided us and if the list is agreed, sanofi-aventis will retain exclusive rights to the use of the product within these designated therapeutic drug classes until June 30, 2014, subject to the extension described above. If we are unable to reach an agreement on the list, then sanofi-aventis will retain full exclusivity across all therapeutic classes only until June 29, 2012. Unless terminated earlier, the industrialization agreement has a term until the completion of the industrialization program.
     The industrialization agreement provides that, subject to the full completion of the industrialization program, the parties will negotiate a supply agreement for the manufacture and purchase of the final product on a commercial scale. The supply agreement will provide that sanofi-aventis and its affiliates will purchase the final product exclusively from us, and the industrialization agreement provides that we are not required to commit more than 30% of our expected installed production capacity to sanofi-aventis and its affiliates for the 12 months following the receipt of a purchase order. Any order of sanofi-aventis, together with its other orders, that will exceed the 30% capacity limit will require up to a maximum of 24 months lead time before we are required to commence delivery of that order.
     Pursuant to the industrialization agreement, if UMSL agrees to, or proposes to agree to, a change of control with a third party, UMSL must give a written notice to sanofi-aventis, who will be entitled, within five business days, to make an offer on at least equivalent terms. In the absence of an improved change of control proposal, UMSL must accept the matching offer of sanofi-aventis. If UMSL receives an improved change of control offer from the third party, then UMSL must give a further notice to sanofi-aventis for it to make a further matching offer. In addition, if during the term of the industrialization agreement, a change of control that does not involve sanofi-aventis, or its affiliates, obtaining control of UMSL (i) is not recommended by UMSL’s board of directors, (ii) will cause harm to sanofi-aventis, as defined in the agreement or (iii) under which Mr. Alan Shortall, our CEO and director, is not to continue in such capacities for at least two years after the change of control, then sanofi-aventis will have the right to terminate the industrialization agreement within ten business days after receiving a notice from UMSL, or after it otherwise becomes aware of the change of control. Pursuant to the industrialization agreement, a change of control means, in general terms, a change in the ownership of 50% or more of UMSL’s shares or the power to determine the majority composition of UMSL’s board of directors or any other event that UMSL’s board determines to be a change of control event.
Manufacturing
     We have an FDA-registered, 50,000 square foot medical device production facility in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania. This facility has two class-eight clean rooms. The first clean room houses a fully automated assembly system used to manufacture our Unitract 1mL syringes. This automated assembly system, which has an optimum capacity of up to 40 million units per year, was fully designed, developed, built and qualified by our in-house team. The other clean room is used to assemble non-proprietary medical devices under contract with B. Braun. Other areas of our Lewisberry facility are used for offices, product design and prototyping, engineering activities and the construction of automated assembly systems. Prior to the commencement of commercial production of the Unitract 1mL syringe at our Lewisberry facility, we utilized a medical device company in China to manufacture sufficient volumes of these products to obtain regulatory approvals and undertake preliminary marketing activities. We intend to focus upon the domestic manufacture of our Unitract 1mL syringe at our Lewisberry facility in the foreseeable future.
     To support our manufacturing plan for the high-volume production of the Unifill syringe, we are outsourcing the development and manufacture of automated assembly systems for this product to Mikron Assembly Technology, an established industry specialist. On November 12, 2009, we signed a purchase agreement with Mikron for the development and supply of a pilot automated assembly system to support the commercial production of our Unifill syringe. The development of the automated assembly system began in December 2009, with completion and installation into our new facility scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2010. We anticipate that this automated assembly system will have a target production capacity of approximately 60 million units per year. Additional assembly lines, which we expect to commission and operate beyond 2010, are targeted to have a significantly higher annual manufacturing capacity. To support our business expansion activities, we are in the process of developing a

33

new manufacturing facility close to our Lewisberry facility within York County, Pennsylvania. We expect to transition at least some of our manufacturing activities into the new manufacturing facility during 2010. For more details regarding the development of the new manufacturing facility, please see “Item 3. Properties”.
     We source our components and raw materials under written contracts with a variety of suppliers, all of which specialize in the medical device and pharmaceutical sectors. We have also entered into a number of relationships with other companies for the initial supply of components, raw materials and related services for the Unifill syringe. Due to an initial requirement for only limited production volumes of components which comprise the Unifill syringe, we currently receive a majority, or in some cases all, our components such as rubber seals and glass barrels from a single source supplier. To support the industrialization program for this product and further strengthen our supply chain in the long-term, we intend to establish, wherever feasible, a dual-source strategy for the production of key components, raw materials and related services. The companies we expect to appoint for the production and supply of items and related services pertaining to the Unifill syringe all have an established presence in the international drug delivery market, with the majority having facilities in both North America and Europe.
Sales and Marketing
     We expect that our primary customers will be pharmaceutical companies which utilize prefilled syringes as a primary container device for the administration of therapeutic drugs and vaccines. We intend to enter into supply agreements for the Unifill syringe with sanofi-aventis and some other pharmaceutical customers. The majority of these target pharmaceutical customers are multinational companies with headquarters located in either the United States or Europe.
     We expect the pharmaceutical customer to be primarily responsible for the sale, marketing and clinical use of the combination drug-delivery device to target government agencies, healthcare facilities or patients who self-administer prescription medication within indicated therapeutic drug classes. We expect to support pharmaceutical customers in the development of documentation or marketing material pertaining to the recommended clinical use of the device with the contained drug or vaccine. We may also enter into agreements for the supply of the Unitract 1mL syringes directly to pharmaceutical companies for use with injectable drug products which are supplied in a vial and marketed in a kit format.
     We also intend to distribute our Unitract 1mL syringes within the United States via distributors which specialize in target markets such as long-term and acute care healthcare facilities or the direct mail order of prescription medication and medical equipment to patients for self-administration. We will also examine opportunities to enter into relationships for our Unitract 1mL syringes with group purchasing organizations, or GPOs, which secure competitive pricing for commodity items such as syringes on behalf of members such as acute-care hospitals. Over the past decade, many GPOs have introduced programs that encourage the expedient evaluation and selection of innovative products developed by smaller companies. However, we do not expect to fully penetrate the acute-care hospital market until we have a complete range of clinical syringe sizes.
     Outside of the United States, we have a distributor to sell our Unitract 1mL syringes in Canada and expect to appoint other distributors within other international healthcare markets such as Western Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, we intend to review opportunities to collaborate with governments seeking to examine the use of our Unitract 1mL syringes as a means of helping to prevent the re-use, sharing and unsafe disposal of non-sterile syringes by injecting drug users.
     We have a small internal team to support the training of appointed distributors in the marketing and clinical use of our Unitract 1mL syringes. We intend to expand this team as we commence sales of our Unitract 1mL syringes, appoint additional distributors and commercialize our larger-sized clinical syringes.
Intellectual Property
     We have established an intellectual property portfolio through which we seek to protect our products and technology. Our intellectual property portfolio includes 24 issued patents in 13 countries, with two issued patents each in Australia and the United States. We have filed a significant number of patent applications that are now pending in Australia, the United States, Europe, China, India and other countries covered under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. We also hold provisional patent applications in both the United States and Australia and several

34


Table of Contents

registered trademarks. Our patents expire at various dates between 2018 and 2028. Trade secrets law in the United States and other jurisdictions provides additional protection. We also enter into non-disclosure agreements with certain vendors and customers. All active United States based employees have signed confidentiality, non-compete and intellectual property assignment agreements.
     We classify our patents and patent applications as they relate to particular product categories including 1mL insulin and safe syringes with an attached needle; clinical syringes which include larger sizes and interchangeable luer needles; and our Unifill syringe. Many of the features claimed in the insulin and safe syringes patents, such as the mechanism allowing automatic and controlled needle retraction within an integrated medical device, also apply to our other safety syringe products, including the Unifill syringe. Some key patents covering countries such as Australia, the United States and Europe, as well as some of our international patent applications, are described below:

     An issued patent, unlike a pending patent application, has been reviewed by the relevant national patent office and has met the legal requirements for patentability required by the law of that country. An issued patent can therefore be enforced against infringers in the courts of the country where granted, although an issued patent does not guarantee that the company has freedom to operate and could still infringe upon the issued patent of another patent held by a third party.
     In a number of key countries, we have registered trademarks including Unitract™ and have commenced applications to register trademarks for our company name, Unilife, as well as our ready-to-fill syringe brand name Unifill. Unitract™ is a registered trademark in the United States and is also filed under the Madrid Protocol Agreement for the international registration of marks in 25 countries, including France, Germany, Japan, China, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Additionally, Unitract™ is a registered trademark in Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, Canada, India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Brazil. Unitract™ Safe Syringe is also a registered trademark in Australia.
Government Regulation
     The development, manufacture, sale and distribution of medical devices are subject to comprehensive government regulation. Our medical devices and manufacturing operations are subject to regulation under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or the FDC Act, as implemented and enforced by the FDA and various other federal and state agencies and are also subject to regulation by foreign governmental agencies. These laws and regulations govern the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, advertising, marketing and distribution and market surveillance of medical devices.
FDA’s Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements
     Unless an exemption applies, each medical device we wish to distribute commercially in the United States will require either prior 510(k) clearance or premarket approval from the FDA. The FDA classifies medical devices intended for human use into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I or Class II devices require the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a premarket notification requesting permission to commercially distribute the device. This process is generally known as 510(k) clearance. Class III devices require premarket approval. Our clinical range of syringes, including our Unitract 1mL syringe, are Class II devices. Our Unifill syringe does not require 510(k) clearance because it will be sold to drug manufacturers for use as drug packaging. None of our products require premarket approval.

36


Table of Contents

     There is a different regulatory process that will apply to our Unifill syringe because it will be used by drug manufacturers to provide drugs in a prefilled format. In the case of the Unifill syringe, it is the responsibility of the pharmaceutical customer who will use the Unifill syringe for its drug to obtain final product approvals, either by submitting a new drug application or abbreviated new drug application. In order to support the pharmaceutical customer’s application, we intend to create what is known as a drug master file. A drug master file is a submission to the FDA that may be used to provide information about facilities, processes or articles used in the manufacturing, packaging and storing of one or more human drugs. The drug master file will define the manufacturing and safety characteristics of the Unifill syringe while protecting proprietary information regarding its technical design.
510(k) Clearance Pathway
     When obtaining a 510(k) clearance is required, we must submit a premarket notification demonstrating that our proposed device is substantially equivalent to another legally marketed product (i.e., that it has the same intended use and that it is as safe and effective as a legally marketed, or predicate, device and does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than does a predicate device). According to FDA regulations, the FDA is required to clear or deny a 510(k) premarket notification within 90 days of submission of the application, or 30 days in the case of an abbreviated 510(k) application that may be filed for product line extensions. As a practical matter, 510(k) clearance often takes between three and twelve months.
     We received 510(k) clearance for our Unitract 1mL insulin syringe in October 2008 that covered the production of the device by a contractor outside the United States. We received 510(k) clearance for the production of our Unitract 1mL insulin syringe at our Pennsylvania manufacturing facility in March 2010.
Premarket Approval Pathway
     A premarket approval application must be submitted to the FDA if the device cannot be cleared through the 510(k) process. A premarket approval application must be supported by extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, preclinical, clinical trials, manufacturing and labeling to demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction the safety and effectiveness of the device. This process does not apply to our current range of products.
Pervasive and Continuing Regulation
     After a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply. These include:
    quality system regulations, or QSR, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the manufacturing process;
 
    labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or “off label” uses;
 
    medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to occur; and
 
    post-market surveillance regulations, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.
     The FDA has broad post-market and regulatory enforcement powers. We are subject to unannounced inspections by the FDA to determine our compliance with the QSR and other regulations, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of our manufacturing subcontractors.
     Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following sanctions:
    fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

37


Table of Contents

    recall or seizure of our products;
 
    operating restrictions, partial suspensions or total shutdown of production;
 
    refusing our requests for 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of new products or new intended uses;
 
    withdrawing 510(k) clearance or premarket approvals that are already granted; and
 
    criminal prosecution.
Regulation in the European Union and Australia
     The European Union has adopted numerous directives regulating the design, manufacture, clinical trials, labeling and adverse event reporting for medical devices. Devices that comply with the requirements of the relevant directive will be entitled to bear CE conformity marking, indicating that the device conforms with the essential requirements of the applicable directives and, accordingly, can be commercially distributed throughout the member states of the European Union. The method of assessing conformity varies depending on the type and class of the product, but normally involves a combination of self-assessment by the manufacturer and a third party assessment by a “Notified Body” which is an independent and neutral institution appointed by a country to conduct the conformity assessment. This third-party assessment may consist of an audit of the manufacturer’s quality system and specific testing of the manufacturer’s device. An assessment by a Notified Body in one member state of the European Union is required in order for a manufacturer to commercially distribute the product throughout these countries. ISO 9001 and ISO 13845 are voluntary harmonized standards. Compliance establishes the presumption of conformity with the essential requirements for CE Marking. In July 2009, we received our ISO 13485:2003 quality system certification. Our certification includes the design, development, production and distribution or sterile syringes and insulin syringes and the provision of contract manufacturing services to the medical device industry.
     We have successfully completed a Notified Body audit to allow our Unitract syringes to bear the CE mark and are currently awaiting certification from the Notified Body.
     In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, or TGA, is responsible for administering the Australian Therapeutics Goods Act. The Office of Devices, Blood and Tissues is the department within the TGA responsible for medical devices. The Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, or ARTG, controls the legal supply of therapeutic goods in Australia. The ARTG is the register of information about therapeutic goods for human use that may be imported, supplied in, or exported from Australia. Any use of an unapproved medical device in humans, even in pilot trials, requires an exemption from the requirement for inclusion on the ARTG. US manufacturers seeking to market product in Australia must acquire CE certification and lodge manufacturer evidence, including the CE certificate and a Declaration of Conformity to Australian Requirements, with the TGA. The lodging of this information with the TGA is completed by an Australian sponsor, with the assistance/support of the manufacturer. Upon TGA acceptance of the manufacturer evidence, the Australian sponsor/manufacturer must create a medical device inclusion in the ARTG and only is then able to release USA-manufactured product in Australia. Our only product that is included on the ARTG is our Unitract 1mL syringe that was previously manufactured for us in China. During June 2010, we received our CE certification for U.S.-manufactured stock of this product. We are currently completing the necessary registration and listing documents for sale of this product in Australia.
     With regard to the regulatory process in the European Union and Australia for the Unifill syringe, as in the case of the U.S., it is the responsibility of the pharmaceutical customer who will use the Unifill syringe for its drug to obtain final product approvals.
Other Regulations
     We are also subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, both in the United States and other international territories where we conduct business, relating to such matters as safe working conditions, laboratory

38


Table of Contents

and manufacturing practices and the use, handling and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances used in connection with our research and development work. Although we believe we are in compliance with these laws and regulations in all material respects, we cannot provide assurance that we will not be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws or regulations in the future.
     We are subject to various federal, state and local laws in the United States targeting fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry, which generally prohibit us from soliciting, offering, receiving or paying any remuneration in order to induce the ordering or purchasing of items or services that are in any way paid for by Medicare, Medicaid or other government-sponsored healthcare programs. Healthcare costs have been and continue to be a subject of study, investigation and regulation by governmental agencies and legislative bodies around the world. The U.S. federal government continues to scrutinize potentially fraudulent practices affecting Medicare, Medicaid and other government healthcare programs. Payers have become more influential in the marketplace and increasingly are focused on drug and medical device pricing, appropriate drug and medical device utilization and the quality and costs of healthcare. Violations of fraud and abuse-related laws are punishable by criminal or civil sanctions, including substantial fines, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and health programs outside the United States.
Competition
     The healthcare equipment, pharmaceutical and medical device industry sectors in which we operate are highly competitive. We compete with many companies, both public and private, that range in size from small, highly focused businesses to large diversified multinational manufacturers of healthcare and pharmaceutical equipment, as more fully described below.
     While we do not believe there are any other companies that offer a ready-to-fill syringe with safety features which are fully integrated within the glass barrel, there is a highly concentrated market for the production of standard ready-to-fill syringes for supply to pharmaceutical manufacturers. We are aware of five companies which specialize in the production and supply of glass ready-to-fill syringes. These companies are Becton, Dickinson and Company, or BD, Gerresheimer Bünde GmbH, MGlas AG, SCHOTT forma vitrum AG, and Nuova Ompi. All of these companies are larger and better capitalized than we are, and have an extensive base of pharmaceutical customers. We estimate the market concentration rate for these five companies to be around 95%. We believe BD’s market share to be in excess of 50%, as it has supply relationships with most pharmaceutical companies and contract manufacturing organizations. Of these five aforementioned companies, we believe that BD is the only one which also markets and supplies ancillary safety products for attachment onto standard prefilled syringes to assist pharmaceutical companies in their compliance with needlestick prevention laws. We are aware of another specialist supplier of ancillary safety products, Safety Syringes Inc, which has contracts with a number of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
     We have sought to strengthen our competitive position in this marketplace in a number of ways. For example, the design of the Unifill syringe incorporates the use of a glass barrel which requires shaping at only one end. As a result, the glass barrel for the Unifill syringe can be sourced from the many global suppliers of glass cartridges and not just the five specialty manufacturers mentioned above.
     The global market for clinical (non-pre-filled) plastic syringes is highly competitive, with at least 50 manufacturers located across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific. The market for clinical safety syringes is relatively less competitive, yet highly concentrated. We believe BD is the largest global supplier of clinical safety syringes. Other companies which compete in this market sector include Retractable Technologies, Inc, Covidien and Smiths Medical. All of these companies offer a full range of clinical safety syringes, operate a strong sales, distribution and customer support network, and have existing supply relationships with major healthcare buying groups.
Research and Development
     During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we incurred approximately $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, on research and development of our technologies. Research and development costs include activities related to the research, development, design, testing, and manufacturing of prototypes of our products. It also includes clinical activities and regulatory costs. Research and development costs also include costs

associated with certain consultants engaged in research and development activities along with a portion of the overhead costs we incur to operate our manufacturing facility. We expect our research and development expenses to continue as we continue to develop other pipeline product variants of our technology such as the Unitract clinical range of larger syringe sizes.
Employees
     As of June 8, 2010, we had 141 employees, of whom 117 are engaged in operations activities including research and development, quality assurance and manufacturing activities, six are engaged in marketing and clinical activities and 18 are engaged in finance, legal and other administrative functions. All but four of our employees and all of our executive officers are located at our facilities in Central Pennsylvania. All but two of our employees are full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Legal Proceedings
     In the ordinary course of our business, we may be subject to various claims, pending and potential legal actions for damages, investigations relating to governmental laws and regulations and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of our business. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which any of our properties is the subject

The manufacturing facility is an FDA-registered medical device production facility. This facility has two class-eight clean rooms. The first clean room houses a fully automated assembly system used to manufacture our Unitract 1mL syringes. The other clean room is used to assemble non-proprietary medical devices under contract for outsourcing customers. Other areas of the manufacturing facility are used for offices, product design and prototyping, engineering activities and the construction of automated assembly systems.
     We have also entered into a short-term lease for a small office building near our main facility. This office building is used for engineering and product development.
     We also occupy an office of 1,100 square feet in Sydney, Australia under a lease expiring in November 2010. This office space is used for certain finance and administrative operations in Australia.
Development of New Global Headquarters and Manufacturing Facility
     To support our business expansion activities, we are in the process of developing a new global headquarters and manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania in order to accommodate our projected demand for the Unifill syringe. We purchased a tract of land on which we are developing our own custom-built facility in conjunction with Keystone Redevelopment Group LLC, or Keystone, a Pennsylvania-based real estate company specializing in large scale redevelopment and complex economic development projects. The construction of the new facility has been progressing according to schedule with the external walls and roof of the main section of the building now in place. The following paragraphs summarize the key aspects of the development of the new facility.
Acquisition of Property
     We, through Unilife Cross Farm, LLC, or Unilife CF, our newly formed subsidiary, acquired a 38 acre block of land in York County, Pennsylvania from Greenspring Partners, LP on November 16, 2009 for a purchase price of $2.0 million for the purposes of developing the new facility. The site is located approximately 9.5 miles from our current premises in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania.
Development Agreement
     On December 14, 2009, Unilife CF entered into a development agreement with Keystone to develop the newly acquired property by constructing an approximately 165,000 square foot office, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facility to our specifications. The new facility is initially intended to accommodate Unifill automated assembly lines with a combined annual capacity of 360 million units per year, as well as the Unitract 1mL automated assembly line and other contract manufacturing systems currently situated at our Lewisberry facility. The new facility will also include a 54,000 square foot office section that will function as our global headquarters and support administrative, marketing, new product development, quality laboratories and other operational functions.
     The new facility has been designed to allow for an additional 100,000 square feet of contiguous production space to be constructed when required at a later date by us. Upon this additional expansion occurring, it will provide us with the space required to produce up to one billion syringes annually via the installation of additional Unifill assembly lines. Although this additional expansion of the new facility forms part of the current planning approvals that have been received by us, it is not part of the current development activity nor is it covered or included in the contracts referred to in the development, construction and design agreements described herein.
     Unilife CF has appointed Keystone to provide services under the development agreement including, but not limited to:
    assisting in the selection, review and management of architects, engineers, designers, contractors and other experts and consultants engaged to assist in the development of the new facility;

    assisting Unilife CF in obtaining financing for the development of the new facility;
 
    monitoring all development and construction work undertaken in connection with the development of the new facility; and
 
    assisting in obtaining all necessary approvals, licenses, permits, certificates and authorizations from all governmental authorities that are required for the new facility.
     Unilife CF has agreed to pay Keystone $0.8 million as the development fee for the provision of these services, which is payable in the following tranches:
    $50,000 was paid in connection with the execution of the development agreement;
 
    $0.2 million will be paid to Keystone in six equal monthly installments commencing January 1, 2010 and ending on June 1, 2010;
 
    $0.2 million will be paid to Keystone upon Unilife CF obtaining access to the new facility to install production equipment; and
 
    $0.3 million will be paid to Keystone on the issue of the certificate of occupancy evidencing permission to commence general occupancy of the new facility and compliance with all applicable building codes affecting the new facility.
Construction Agreement
     On December 14, 2009, Unilife CF entered into a Construction Agreement with HSC Builders & Construction Managers (HSC) of Pennsylvania, to construct the new facility. HSC is a Pennsylvania-based company that specializes in building custom-designed facilities for biotech, academic, healthcare, pharmaceutical and technology companies.
     HSC has been engaged by Unilife CF under the construction agreement as the construction manager and constructor of the new facility. Under the construction agreement, Unilife CF is required to pay for the cost of construction (as defined in the construction agreement) estimated to be approximately $21.4 million (Cost of Work), together with HSC’s fee, subject to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) as described below.
     HSC’s fee for constructing the new facility will be an amount equal to 1.25% of the Cost of Work (which is approximately $0.3 million (HSC Fee) assuming the Cost of Work is $21.4 million). The GMP has been established at $21,700,000 (comprising HSC’s Fee and the Cost of Work). Except for certain items beyond the control of Unilife CF or HSC, or items changed at the option of Unilife CF, any construction costs which exceed the GMP will be the responsibility and liability of HSC.
     In the event that the final actual construction costs are less than the GMP, such savings will be shared between Unilife CF and HSC on an 85% / 15% basis.
     Unilife CF has also agreed under the construction agreement to pay HSC a performance bonus of 15% of the HSC Fee if it achieves Phase 1 (see below) of the construction by April 15, 2010 and another 15% bonus of the HSC Fee if it achieves Phase 2 (see below) of the construction by December 10, 2010.
     The fees payable to HSC and the Cost of Work as set out above, have been accounted for in the US$26 million budget for the development of the new facility (as detailed below).
     The projected timetable for the construction of the new facility to be undertaken by HSC is as follows:
     
Date   Activity
By the end of June 2010
  Completion of utility rooms for equipment installation
By the end of October 2010
  Completion of clean rooms for equipment installation (Phase 1)
By the end of October 2010
  Temporary occupancy permit for manufacturing/warehouse
By the end of December 2010
  Unrestricted occupancy permit for manufacturing/warehouse(Phase 2 )
By the end of December 2010
  Unrestricted occupancy permit for office

Design Agreement
     In connection with the development of the new facility, we retained L2 Architecture, or L2, to provide architectural design and structural, mechanical and electrical engineering services for the new facility. L2 is a Philadelphia-based architectural and engineering design firm that specializes in the pharmaceutical and medical device sector.
     The design created by L2 incorporates the latest innovations in personnel and material flow dynamics with the intention of maximizing the industrial productivity of the site while ensuring compliance with the highest standards of good manufacturing practice.
     L2’s fee for the architectural services it will be providing to us in respect of the project will be $1.56 million. In the event that additional services are required beyond the contracted services agreed between us and L2, we will be required to pay L2 for such services on an hourly basis. The fees payable to L2 have been accounted for in the budget for the development of the new facility (as detailed below).
Proposed Financing of the Development
     We expect the total cost to be approximately $27.0 million. This includes the projected construction costs, the projected manufacturing facility fit out costs and the fees payable to Keystone, HSC and L2.
     We have provided for $8.0 million — $10.0 million in projected capital expenditure to be used towards the development of the new facility. At this stage, we intend to fund up to approximately $9.0 million of the development costs for the new facility out of our existing cash reserves, which includes amounts received in connection with our October and November 2009 equity financings and will seek external financing for up to approximately $18.0 million from a commercial bank or other lending institution in the U.S. and/or from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or other federal and state bodies.
     Under the development agreement, Keystone is required to assist Unilife CF in obtaining external finance, on terms that are satisfactory to Unilife CF, for $18.0 million (or less if that amount is not required). In the event that Keystone is unable to assist Unilife CF in obtaining commitments for the required financing on or before December 31, 2009, Unilife CF had the right terminate the development agreement without any further obligation to Keystone unless negotiations with lenders (satisfactory to Unilife CF) are ongoing as at that date in which case the deadline will be extended during the period of such negotiations. Negotiations with lenders for the financing, which are satisfactory to Unilife CF, are ongoing and thus the development agreement continues in effect. Unilife CF’s right to terminate the development agreement will expire in the event that the full financing commitments are obtained as a result of such negotiations. The development agreement will otherwise terminate on the issue of the certificate of occupancy evidencing permission to commence general occupancy of the new facility and compliance with all applicable building codes affecting the new facility. In the event that Keystone is unable to meet its commitments, we believe that we can secure an alternative development partner.
     We are currently in discussions with a number of banks, government agencies and other interested parties with respect to the required financing for the project.
Sale of Minority Interest in Unilife Cross Farm LLC
     In connection with the development of the new facility, Unilife CF has agreed to issue to a subsidiary of Keystone, Cross Farm, LLC, a 1% interest in Unilife CF for $90,000 and Unilife Corporation has entered into an operating agreement with Cross Farm LLC with respect to the operation and management of Unilife CF as the development company for the new facility.
     Unilife CF has retained a call option over the minority interest which it can exercise at any time during the first five years after completion of the sale of the minority interest for a purchase price prescribed under the agreement. However, if certain events occur such as the sale of the new facility, a change of control of the Unilife entities (excluding pursuant to the proposed redomiciliation transaction) or a breach by Unilife CF of the terms of the

development agreement, the call option will be accelerated and the minority interest must be repurchased by Unilife CF at the prescribed price upon such events occurring.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Introduction
     This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes our compensation philosophy for those individuals who were our most highly compensated executives based on their fiscal 2009 compensation. These executives are referred to herein as “named executives”. Where applicable, this Compensation Discussion and Analysis also describes the ways in which we anticipate that our compensation philosophy may change after we become a U.S.-based public company.
     During 2008, in anticipation of the relocation of our headquarters and principal operations from Australia to the United States, the board of directors granted Alan Shortall, our Chief Executive Officer, broad discretion to hire

46


Table of Contents

a new U.S.-based executive management team and to set the initial terms of their employment. In furtherance of this mandate, during fiscal 2009 Mr. Shortall assembled a new management team whose members joined us at various times during calendar year 2008 and 2009. In addition, Mr. Shortall, together with Stephen Allan, who had been with us since 2002, relocated to the United States in early 2009.
     Our named executives are:
    Alan Shortall, who is our Chief Executive Officer;
 
    Jeff Carter, who was our Chief Financial Officer until December 2008;
 
    Daniel Calvert, who became our Chief Financial Officer in December 2008 and resigned in June 2010;
 
    Eugene Shortall, who became our Senior Vice President, RTFS in February 2009;
 
    Bernhard Opitz, who became our Senior Vice President of Operations in December 2008; and
 
    Stephen Allan, who became our Vice President of Marketing and Communications in October 2008.
     During the process of assembling the new executive management team, our Chief Executive Officer negotiated on an arm’s length basis with each of our new named executives with respect to the terms of his compensation package and, in the case of Mr. Allan, the terms of his compensation package upon relocating to the United States. In each case, Mr. Shortall considered the individual’s prior relevant experience and compensation levels, as well as his prospective roles and responsibilities with our Company. Due in part to the necessity of assembling an entirely new team in a short amount of time, Mr. Shortall did not conduct a formal survey of compensation paid by other companies, but rather conducted these negotiations using his best judgment of what would constitute an appropriate compensation package. After reaching agreement with the prospective named executives, Mr. Shortall presented the compensation packages to the board of directors which agreed to the terms. The terms of the compensation packages were ultimately memorialized in agreements which we describe below under — “Employment Offer Letters, Employment Agreements and Consultancy Agreements.”
     Historically, we did not have a separate compensation committee of the board of directors. Determinations regarding the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers and non-employee directors were made by the entire board of directors. Under ASX listing rules, board compensation and stock incentive compensation for executives is put to a vote of shareholders. After we become a Nasdaq-listed company, we will continue to be subject to these rules so long as we remain listed on the ASX. In preparation for our Nasdaq listing, we recently established a compensation committee which will consider and approve executive compensation as required by Nasdaq rules.
Objectives of the Compensation Program
     The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to deliver a competitive package to attract, motivate and retain key executives and align their compensation with our overall business goals, core values and shareholder interests. To this end, our board of directors followed an executive compensation philosophy that included the following considerations:
    a “pay-for-performance” orientation that delivers pay based on company and individual performance;
 
    long-term incentives, including stock-based awards, to more closely align the interests of executives and shareholders; and
 
    individual wealth accumulation through long-term incentives, rather than through pensions.
     We expect that our compensation committee will establish a similar executive compensation philosophy with respect to our named executives following redomiciliation. We expect that our primary compensation objectives will be to reinforce consistent attainment of Unilife’s key strategic goals and to retain the executive talent we have hired.

The Design of the Compensation Program
     Compensation for our named executives has included the following elements:
    base salary;
 
    annual cash incentives and discretionary bonuses;
 
    long-term incentives in the form of stock options and stock awards; and
 
    other benefits and perquisites.
     We expect that our executive compensation program will continue to include these elements going forward following our redomiciliation. In addition, we expect our future compensation program to include grants of restricted stock which we could not issue as an Australian company. When making compensation-related decisions, we believe it is important to be informed about the current practices of similarly situated public companies. For this purpose, the board of directors has retained a compensation consulting firm, Strategic Apex Group LLC, or Strategic Apex, to assist our compensation committee in developing an appropriate comparator group for benchmarking. We currently expect that this comparator group will consist of companies in the medical device industry as well as companies in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. We also expect that Strategic Apex will assist the compensation committee in developing performance metrics and long-term incentives for the named executives to ensure that key strategic goals are met and that the interests of key decision makers and shareholders are aligned. The goals of our compensation program for our named executives are to provide total direct compensation that is appropriate for an organization of our size and stage of development and that will support continued recruitment of top talent and retention of the executive team we have built over the last 18 months, as well as to reward achievement of key strategic goals and to align executive compensation with shareholder interests. We expect to evaluate individual performance in determining increases to base salary and awarding annual incentive compensation and future equity grants. We will also consider employment agreement terms and internal pay equity within the executive team. When considering internal pay equity, we will consider the reported market rate for these positions and total direct compensation of other executives who have a similar level of responsibility at the Company.
Elements of Compensation
Base Salary
     Base salary is an important element of compensation because it provides the named executives with a base level of income. Our board of directors negotiated the base salary of our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the employment agreement that we entered into with him in October 2008. Our board of directors set our Chief Executive Officer’s base salary at a level that the board believed was commensurate with our Chief Executive Officer’s skills, knowledge and duties. As described above, the initial base salary of each named executive (other than our Chief Executive Officer) was negotiated by our Chief Executive Officer with such executive during the hiring process of Messrs. Calvert and Opitz and, in the case of Eugene Shortall and Mr. Allan, in connection with their relocation to the United States.
     Our compensation committee will determine whether and when to adjust the base salaries of the named executives in the future. We expect that our compensation committee will consider each executive’s performance and level of responsibility and market data for similar positions.
     Annual Cash Incentive Compensation and Bonuses
     Our Chief Executive Officer’s annual cash incentive award is a discretionary award up to a maximum amount provided for in his employment agreement. The amount of this award is determined by our board of directors based on satisfaction of key performance indicators, or KPIs, determined by our board of directors. Going forward, our compensation committee will set the KPIs of our Chief Executive Officer, review his performance and determine the amount of any annual incentive compensation earned by him.

48


Table of Contents

     As more fully described in the footnotes to the grants of plan-based awards table, each of Messrs. Calvert and Opitz were entitled pursuant to the terms of his employment offer letter to receive a cash incentive award, for calendar year 2009, and for the portion of calendar year 2008 during which he was employed with us, at the target level specified in his employment offer letter, if his performance satisfies certain KPIs. Our Chief Executive Officer establishes the KPIs for each named executive which are tailored to the named executive’s individual area of responsibility and key strategic goals. Our Chief Executive Officer has broad discretion in interpreting the KPIs and determining the extent to which a particular KPI has been met. In the case of fiscal 2009, the KPIs were established and communicated at various points during the course of the year, as each named executive was hired on a different date. In the future, we expect that KPIs will be established and communicated during the first or second quarter of the applicable performance period.
     In respect of fiscal 2009, the following is a summary description of the KPIs for each named executive:
    Alan Shortall — relocation of our corporate headquarters to Lewisberry, Pennsylvania; signing the industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis; initiation of production of the Unitract 1mL syringe in our FDA registered facility in Lewisberry; and implementation of a new quality system.
 
    Jeff Carter—transition of finance and accounting functions to U.S.-based personnel and undertaking corporate secretarial and ASX reporting requirements.
 
    Dan Calvert—management of our financial affairs and the development of business plan models and corporate strategy.
 
    Eugene Shortall—management of the ready-to-fill syringe project and completion of key project milestones, including issuance of a design for manufacturing and assembly report for review by sanofi-aventis, issuance of engineering performance specifications, completion of sterilization studies, delivery of a report on needle shield development and quarterly update on design and testing activities.
 
    Bernhard Opitz—expansion of our operational, engineering and production personnel
 
    Stephen Allan—management of our marketing and communications activities
     Our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer determined that each of the named executives satisfied their KPIs. Consequently, the named executives received incentive compensation payments at their target levels for fiscal 2009 as reflected in the summary compensation table and grants of plan-based awards table below.
     In addition to the incentive compensation awards, we may also provide discretionary cash bonuses to our named executives to reward them for their contribution toward the achievement of significant milestones of the Company. For fiscal 2009, our board of directors decided to pay a discretionary bonus of A$150,000 to our Chief Executive Officer in recognition of his efforts in securing the exclusive licensing agreement with sanofi-aventis in June 2008 and the industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis in June 2009. Securing these two agreements were important milestones in our long-term business plan.
     In addition, for fiscal 2009, our board of directors awarded discretionary bonuses of $79,497 (A$82,500) and $48,180 (A$50,000) to Messrs. Carter and Allan, respectively. In the case of Mr. Carter, this bonus was paid in recognition of his achievements in transitioning the Company’s financial reporting systems from Australia to the United States. In the case of Mr. Allan, this bonus was paid in recognition of the fact that despite Mr. Allan’s significant historical contributions in the areas of marketing and communications, he had not received a bonus in several years and that therefore, his compensation level did not reflect these prior contributions.
     Commencing in calendar 2010, we expect to adopt an annual incentive plan with terms to be determined by our compensation committee. We expect that our Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with our compensation committee, will establish KPIs that represent key strategic objectives relating to the industrialization of the ready-to-fill syringe, the commercial production and sale of our 1 mL syringe, the further development of a world-class organization and additional products, and building shareholder value. In accordance with our compensation committee’s charter, our compensation committee will evaluate the performance of each named executive in light of

49


Table of Contents

his KPIs and will determine the amount of any annual incentive compensation earned by the named executive based on such evaluation.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
     Our long-term incentive compensation has historically been in the form of grants of stock options and stock awards under our Employee Share Option Plan, or ESOP. These grants were designed to provide our executives with multiple awards over a number of years to encourage alignment with shareholder interests and to retain highly valued employees. The ESOP was approved by the shareholders of UMSL in 2007. Our board of directors historically has reviewed the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and determined the equity awards to be granted to him subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Australian law and ASX listing rules. Our Chief Executive Officer historically has reviewed the performance of the other named executives and recommended the equity awards to be granted to them for approval by our board of directors.
     We view stock options as an important element of performance-based compensation because a stock option provides no realizable value to a recipient until the vesting requirements have been met and will increase in value only as the trading price of our shares increases. Vesting periods are intended to require a long-term focus on overall Company performance for the executive to realize any value from the exercise of options.
     In fiscal 2009, we granted stock options to our named executives as reflected in the grants of plan-based awards table. These stock option grants were made in fulfillment of the terms of each named executive’s (other than Stephen Allan’s) respective offer letter or employment agreement. The amount of each stock option grant for the named executives other than our Chief Executive Officer was determined by our Chief Executive Officer in his best judgment during arms’ length negotiation of the employment offer and approved by our board of directors.
     In fiscal 2009, we granted stock options and a stock award to our Chief Executive Officer in fulfillment of the terms of his employment agreement. The size and nature of these grants were negotiated at arms’ length by our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer received a stock award in addition to stock options to more fully align his interests with those of our shareholders insofar as under the stock award, our Chief Executive Officer will share in the downside risk and realize an economic loss if our share price declines. As more fully described under —“Guidelines for Share Ownership and Holding Periods for Equity Awards,” restrictions have been placed on our Chief Executive Officer’s right to dispose of the shares received under his stock award.
     Our stockholders approved our adoption of our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan permits us to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, and other stock-based awards and cash awards to employees. Long-term incentive target compensation of each named executive following redomiciliation is expected to be set by our compensation committee based on the named executive’s level of responsibility, peer group data for similar positions and the named executive’s long-term incentive compensation before redomiciliation. We anticipate that the total long-term incentive target multiplier of base salary for each of our named executives will target the 50th percentile of the comparator group that we expect to identify with the assistance of our compensation consultant, aligning with our philosophy of driving wealth accumulation through long-term incentives, and consistent with a business emphasizing high growth and innovation.
Savings Plans
     We do not provide for wealth accumulation for retirement through defined benefit pension plans; however, we make superannuation payments of 9% of cash compensation (up to a statutory maximum cash compensation of A$40,170 per quarter) in accordance with Australian law for Australian employees and executives, including those who transferred to the United States. Superannuation is a retirement or pension contribution that is made to a pension fund selected by the employee, and is not available to the employee until retirement. In addition, our U.S. subsidiary, Unilife Medical Solutions, Inc., has a 401(k) plan, without a company match.
     We expect to adopt a 401(k) plan to permit executives and other employees to accumulate wealth on a tax-deferred basis. We do not anticipate providing for wealth accumulation for retirement through defined benefit pensions or supplemental executive retirement plans. In addition, while our U.S. subsidiary does not currently make

50

matching or fixed contributions to the balances of employees, including the named executives, under the 401(k) plan, we do expect to adopt a company match in future years.
Other Benefits and Perquisites
     The named executives are eligible to participate in employee benefit programs generally offered to our other employees. In addition, we provide certain other perquisites to the named executives that are not generally available to other employees. We also provide temporary housing and other relocation assistance when an executive officer is hired or relocated for business reasons. For more detailed information regarding benefits and perquisites provided to the named executives, see — “Compensation of Named Executive Officers.”
     Our compensation committee will review these benefits and perquisites after redomiciliation. We expect that we will continue to offer relocation benefits to newly hired or relocated employees which are competitive and appropriate for their level of responsibility.
Severance
     We must comply with Australian legal requirements regarding obtaining shareholder approval of certain severance payments. Severance provisions are set forth in the employment agreements with our named executives, as described under —“Potential Payments Upon Termination or Changes in Control”, with the exception of Mr. Carter who is not entitled to receive severance upon termination of his consultancy agreement with us.
     Our compensation committee will consider and develop policies, guidelines or programs with respect to severance benefits after the redomiciliation. We expect to continue the severance obligations under existing employment agreements. We believe that severance benefits allow us to attract and retain talented executives and other employees to accept positions with us and to relocate to our United States headquarters. In establishing these arrangements, we will consider that we do not provide defined benefit pension or supplemental executive retirement plan benefits. The employment agreements currently in place with the named executives have a “double-trigger” feature, mandating cash severance payments on a change of control only if employment is terminated in connection with or following the change of control. In contrast, equity awards under our incentive compensation plans are “single trigger” awards and vest upon a change in control (as defined in the relevant plan). Our board of directors believe that providing for accelerated vesting of equity awards upon a change in control creates an important retention tool for the Company by enabling employees to realize value from these awards in the event that the Company undergoes a change in control transaction.
Policies, Guidelines and Practices Related to Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee
     Our compensation committee will make executive compensation determinations for the named executives, and we anticipate that our executive officers will provide recommendations and support to our compensation committee. In addition, the board of directors has retained Strategic Apex to provide expert executive compensation advice and guidance to the compensation committee. The compensation committee will operate in accordance with a written charter and will be composed of three independent directors who will report their findings and recommendations to our board of directors. In developing a compensation strategy, the compensation committee will pursue the following goals:
    develop an executive compensation policy to support overall business strategies and objectives, attract and retain key executives, link compensation with business objectives and organizational performance, and provide competitive compensation;
 
    approve compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, including relevant performance goals and objectives, review and approve compensation for other executive officers, and oversee their evaluations;
 
    make recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the adoption of equity-based compensation plans and incentive compensation plans;

51


Table of Contents

    review the outside directors’ compensation program for competitiveness and plan design, and recommend changes to our board of directors as appropriate;
 
    oversee the management succession process for our Chief Executive Officer and selected senior executives;
 
    oversee general compensation plans and initiatives; and
 
    consult with management on major policies affecting employee relations.
     Guidelines for Share Ownership and Holding Periods for Equity Awards
     Our Chief Executive Officer is also currently our largest shareholder. Even though we have not had formal stock ownership requirements for our executives, our Chief Executive Officer’s ownership position assists in ensuring that management decisions are aligned with shareholder interests. For the stock award that our Chief Executive Officer received in fiscal 2009, he has agreed that he will not dispose of any of the shares received under that award until at least 12 months after the award was granted, and that he may dispose of no more than 50 percent of those shares until at least 24 months after the award was granted.
     We expect our compensation committee to adopt stock ownership guidelines to require our named executives and directors to accumulate and hold a minimum number of shares of our common stock in order to ensure that their interests are aligned with shareholder interests. Decisions about the number of shares and time to accumulate will be made after consideration of best practices in the United States and the advice of our compensation consultant.
     Potential Impact on Compensation from Executive Misconduct
     Under our incentive plans, our board of directors has the authority to revoke stock option grants of employees who commit misconduct. These provisions are designed to deter and prevent detrimental behavior and permit us to prevent such employees from exercising stock options, which would lapse if that employee has engaged in certain misconduct.
     We anticipate that our Compensation Committee will evaluate various “claw-back” options and consider the advisability of adopting such policies as will protect our investors from financial misconduct.
     Tax Matters
     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that certain publicly held corporations may deduct for U.S. federal tax purposes in any one year with respect to certain named executives. This limitation did not apply to us for fiscal 2009 because, as of June 30, 2009, none of our shares were required to be registered under the Exchange Act.
     It is expected that Section 162(m) of the Code will apply to us following the re-domiciliation and that our compensation committee will adopt a general practice of considering the adverse effect of Section 162(m) of the Code on the deductibility of compensation when designing annual and long-term compensation programs and approving payouts under these programs. While the tax treatment of compensation is important, the primary factor influencing program design is the support of business objectives. Consequently, it is expected that our compensation committee will reserve the right to design and administer the programs in a manner that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and to approve the payment of nondeductible compensation if the compensation committee believes doing so may achieve a result determined to be in Unilife’s best interest. Due to transition rules that apply to UMSL under Section 162(m) of the Code, we believe that all of the compensation that will result when our named executives exercise their currently outstanding stock options should be fully deductible.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
     During fiscal 2009, the board of directors of UMSL did not have a separate compensation committee, as one is not required under ASX rules. During fiscal 2009, Mr. Alan Shortall, director and Chief Executive Officer of UMSL, participated in deliberations of the board concerning the compensation of all executive officers. During

52


Table of Contents

fiscal 2009, no executive officer of UMSL served on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that had any executive officer who also served on the board of directors of UMSL.
     In November 2009, Unilife Corporation established a compensation committee, which is currently composed of three independent directors, namely Jim Bosnjak, John Lund and William Galle. None of the members of the compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of Unilife, UMSL or any of its subsidiaries, or has any relationship with Unilife, UMSL or its executives, other than their directorship and equity interests in UMSL as disclosed in “Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” of this registration statement.

Employment Offer Letters, Employment Agreements and Consultancy Agreements
     We have used employment offer letters, employment agreements and consultancy agreements to set the initial compensation terms for our named executives. As described above, the employment offer letters with our named executives other than our Chief Executive Officer were negotiated by our Chief Executive Officer at arms’ length when he assembled the company’s senior management team. Below is a summary of the employment offer letters and employment agreements in effect with our named executives during fiscal 2009. Additional information regarding potential payments upon termination of employment pursuant to the terms of the employment offer letters and employment agreements is set forth under —“Potential Payments Upon Termination and Changes of Control.”
     Alan Shortall, Chief Executive Officer
     As our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shortall reports to our board of directors. He is responsible for the executive management team and has responsibility for the effective leadership and business development of the Company. The key elements of Mr. Shortall’s employment agreement are as follows:
    Annual salary of $420,000, subject to annual review.
 
    Incentive compensation awards per fiscal year of up to $200,000, subject to satisfaction of KPIs, to be determined by our board of directors.
 
    A grant of 1,666,667 shares of stock and 1,250,000 options.
 
    The employment agreement has a term of three years commencing on July 1, 2008.
 
    The employment agreement may be terminated by, among other ways, one party giving the other three months’ prior written notice (or by us paying Mr. Shortall three months of his total annual salary in lieu of the written notice).
 
    After the termination of Mr. Shortall’s employment with us, he may not be involved in any business which is a competitor of the Company’s, or entice away any employee, customer or supplier of the Company for up to 24 months worldwide (or for such shorter period and geographical area as a court may decide).

Table of Contents

     Mr. Shortall’s base salary was paid in Australian dollars for the majority of fiscal 2009. In April 2009, after he relocated to the United States, he began receiving payment of his base salary in United States dollars. At the time of this change, the values of the United States and Australian dollars were relatively equivalent but the exchange rate began to diverge later in the year, accounting for the differential between the agreement rate and the amount reported in the summary compensation table.
     Our board of directors determined that Mr. Shortall met his KPIs to receive full payment of his incentive compensation award. In addition, in recognition of the crucial role that Mr. Shortall played in obtaining the sanofi-aventis exclusive licensing agreement on June 30, 2008, which represented a significant milestone for the company, and the industrialization agreement with sanofi-aventis on June 30, 2009, which was the second critical step in the sanofi-aventis relationship, our board of directors awarded Mr. Shortall a discretionary bonus payment of A$150,000 for fiscal 2009.
     Jeff Carter, Former Chief Financial Officer
     Mr. Carter served as our Chief Financial Officer from February 2005 until December 2008. As our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Carter was responsible for all financial aspects of the Company, including financial reporting, statutory reporting, taxation and secretarial functions. In December 2008, Mr. Calvert replaced Mr. Carter as our Chief Financial Officer.
     The key elements of compensation for Mr. Carter while he served as our Chief Financial Officer during fiscal 2009 were as follows:
    Annual salary of A$200,000, subject to annual review.
 
    Incentive compensation awards in respect of each financial year of up to A$25,000, as determined at the discretion of our Chief Executive Officer, subject to satisfaction of KPIs.
     Our Chief Executive Officer determined that Mr. Carter met his KPIs to receive full payment of his incentive compensation award for fiscal 2009 notwithstanding the fact that he served as our Chief Financial Officer for only half of the fiscal year. Our Chief Executive Officer and board of directors also determined to award Mr. Carter an additional discretionary bonus of A$82,500 in recognition of his achievements in transitioning the Company’s financial reporting systems from Australia to the United States.
     When the Company made Mr. Carter redundant as its Chief Financial Officer in connection with the relocation of the Company’s operations to the United States, we paid him a severance amount equal to nine months of his annual salary pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.
     Effective February 1, 2009, we entered into a consultancy agreement with Joblak Pty Ltd. under which Mr. Carter will provide to us, among other services, corporate secretarial services. Mr. Carter, through Joblak Pty Ltd., will receive compensation of $20,000 per month for the consulting services. The consultancy agreement may be terminated by either party by giving two months’ advance notice.
Daniel Calvert, Chief Financial Officer
     Mr. Calvert served as our Chief Financial Officer from December 2008 to June 2010 and was responsible for all financial aspects of the Company, including financial reporting, statutory reporting and taxation. The key elements of compensation for Mr. Calvert under the terms of his employment offer letter in effect for fiscal 2009 were as follows:
    Annual salary of $160,000, subject to annual review.
 
    Incentive compensation awards in respect of calendar year 2009 (and a pro rata amount for services performed for December 2008) of up to 40 percent of base salary, subject to satisfaction of KPIs.
 
    A grant of 250,000 stock options.
 
    Reimbursement of relocation and temporary living expenses.

     The employment offer letter with Mr. Calvert became effective on December 1, 2008, and did not have a specified term. The employment offer letter was superseded by an employment agreement effective November 10, 2009, which provided for the same cash compensation package and which was for an initial term expiring on December 31, 2012, subject to automatic renewal for successive one-year periods unless a non-renewal notice is given. Mr. Calvert resigned in June 2010.
     Our Chief Executive Officer determined that Mr. Calvert met his KPIs to receive full payment of his incentive compensation award for December 2008 and the six-month period ending June 30, 2009.
Eugene Shortall, Senior Vice President of RTFS
     As Senior Vice President of RTFS, Eugene Shortall is responsible for overall management of the project related to the design, development and production of our ready-to-fill syringe. During fiscal 2009, Eugene Shortall provided these services to us under the terms of a consultancy agreement between us and Medical Middle East Ltd. This consultancy agreement has been superseded by an employment agreement between us and Eugene Shortall that became effective November 10, 2009, and is for an initial term expiring on December 31, 2012, subject to automatic renewal for successive one-year periods unless a non-renewal notice is given.

    Monthly consulting fee of A$20,000 (A$240,000 per year).
     In addition to the monthly consulting fee, our Chief Executive Officer determined that Eugene Shortall satisfied his KPIs set for fiscal 2009 and provided Medical Middle East Ltd. with additional payments of A$30,000 and $19,500 to be paid to Eugene Shortall as incentive compensation awards for managing the ready-to-fill syringe project in such a manner that the Company earned and received the milestone payments from sanofi-aventis.
     Under the terms of his new employment agreement, Mr. Shortall receives an annual base salary of $240,000 and is eligible to receive incentive compensation awards in respect of calendar year 2009 of up to 50% of base salary, subject to satisfaction of KPIs. The employment agreement also provides that Mr. Shortall is eligible to participate in the company’s benefits programs and is entitled to certain termination benefits (as described in “—Potential Payments upon Termination of Changes in Control”), which provisions were not available to Mr. Shortall under the consultancy agreement.
Bernhard Opitz, Senior Vice President of Operations
     As Senior Vice President of Operations, Mr. Opitz is responsible for overseeing all aspects of operational activities, including manufacturing, supply chain and engineering.

    Reimbursement of relocation and temporary living expenses.
     The employment offer letter with Mr. Opitz became effective on December 2, 2008, and did not have a specified term.

     Stephen Allan, Vice President of Marketing and Communications
     As Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Mr. Allan is responsible for the global marketing of our products and other communications functions. During fiscal 2009, we did not have a written employment agreement in place with Mr. Allan but the terms of his employment upon relocating to the United States were negotiated at arms’ length with our Chief Executive Officer. The key elements of compensation for Mr. Allan as in effect during fiscal 2009 are as follows:
    Annual salary of $130,000, subject to annual review.
 
    Incentive compensation awards in respect of calendar year 2009 of up to 20 percent of base salary, subject to satisfaction of KPIs.
 
    A one-time housing allowance of $60,000 for his relocation from Australia to the United States in January 2009.

     The options to purchase our common stock have an exercise price equal to six times the closing price on ASX of our CDI’s (each CDI representing one-sixth of one share of our common stock) on the date of grant and are exercisable for five years from the date of grant. The options will vest as follows: 250,000 options will vest upon our share price reaching $9.45 or more for a minimum of 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days, 250,000 options will vest upon our share price reaching $12.15 or more for a minimum of 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days and 334,000 options will vest upon our share price reaching $17.82 or more for a minimum of 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
     The following table provides information regarding the total compensation that UMSL paid or awarded to its non-employee directors during the year ended June 30, 2009. Directors of UMSL who are also employees do not receive compensation for their services as directors.

Jeff Carter
    13,626 (4)                   1,458             15,084  
 
(1)   All option awards were issued with an exercise price in Australian dollars. Amounts were converted using the exchange rate at June 30, 2009 of A$1.00 = US$0.8048. The amount referenced is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. See footnote 3 of our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this registration statements.
 
(2)   Statutory contributions of 9% of fees to a superannuation fund (i.e., pension) for Australian directors only.
 
(3)   Mr. Bosnjak’s fees represent A$120,000 paid in Australian dollars. Amounts were converted using the average exchange rate during the applicable period.
 
(4)   Mr. Carter’s fees represent A$18,930 paid in Australian dollars. Amounts were converted using the average exchange rate during the applicable period. This amount represents fees earned solely for serving as a director. For Mr. Carter’s other compensation, see — “Compensation of Named Executive Officers.”
     During fiscal 2009, we paid each of our three non-employee directors different amounts of cash compensation. The levels of cash compensation were based on what our board believed was appropriate for a company of our size, with recognition given to the amount of time a particular director was required to spend on Company matters and the director’s length of board service. We paid Mr. Bosjnak an annual cash fee of A$120,000 for all of his services as a director, including his service as chairman of the board. We did not compensate him separately for attendance at meetings or for service on board committees. Mr. Bosjnak received the highest level of cash compensation in recognition of his long standing board service and the significant amount of time he spent on the Company’s affairs.
     Mr. Galle was also paid an annual fee with no separate meeting or committee fees. His level of compensation was determined by negotiation between our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Galle at the time he joined the board.
     Mr. Carter was also paid an annual cash fee with no separate meeting fees.
     The amount under “Option Awards” represents share-based compensation expense in respect of (i) 166,667 options granted to Mr. Bosjnak in each of fiscal 2008 and 2009 at exercise prices of A$1.50 and A$1.98, respectively and (ii) 91,667 options granted to Mr. Galle in fiscal 2009 at an exercise price of A$2.10.
     In January 2010, UMSL issued options to purchase ordinary shares to three members of the board of directors, Jeff Carter, John Lund and William Galle. Each of these board members received 100,000 options exercisable at A$7.20 per share for a period of five years from the date of grant. The options will vest as follows: 16,667 options vested on the date of grant, 25,000 options will vest on the 12 month anniversary from the date of grant, 25,000 options will vest on the 24 month anniversary from the date of grant and 33,333 options will vest on the 36 month anniversary from the date of grant. The issuance of these options was approved by UMSL shareholders on January 8, 2010.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
     During the last three fiscal years, we have been a party to the following transaction in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our capital stock, or their immediate family members, had a material interest.
     On January 22, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement with Jeff Carter, a member of our board of directors and former Chief Financial Officer. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Carter will perform finance, accounting and secretarial consulting services in Australia. The agreement had an initial term of seven months that expired on September 30, 2009 and was extended for a six month term expiring on March 31, 2010. Under the agreement, we will pay Mr. Carter a fee for the consulting services of A$20,000 per month.
     On October 26, 2008, we entered into a Deed of Settlement and Release with Alan Shortall, our director and Chief Executive Officer, and certain other individuals (collectively, the “Founding Shareholders”), pursuant to which, as a final settlement of our obligations under the agreement for our acquisition of Unitract, we agreed to issue 1,666,667 shares of common stock to the Founding Shareholders if we reported net income of at least A$6.5 million during any fiscal year prior to October 31, 2014 and to issue an additional 1,666,667 shares of common stock if we reported net income of at least A$12 million during any fiscal year prior to October 31, 2014. Pursuant to a subsequent notification from the Founding Shareholders to us dated as of October 27, 2009, three of the four Founding Shareholders (Alan Shortall, Joseph Kaal and Craig Thorley) each relinquished, for no consideration, all of the shares he would have received pursuant to the Deed of Settlement and Release and directed us to issue all his founder shares to the fourth Founding Shareholder, Roger Williamson, in recognition of the fact that Mr. Williamson provided seed capital in connection with the founding of the company. During the year ended June 30, 2009, we met both of the net income requirements and therefore, in November 2009, we issued 3,333,333 shares of common stock to Mr. Williamson, which were in full satisfaction of our obligation to all of the Founding Shareholders.
     We review all relationships and transactions in which we and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related party transactions. Our audit committee reviews and approves or ratifies any related party transaction pursuant to the authority given under the charter of the audit committee.
Director Independence
          Our board of directors currently consists of six members: Jim Bosnjak, Alan Shortall, John Lund, William Galle, Jeff Carter and Mary Katherine Wold. Our board of directors has an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and a strategic partnerships committee. The audit committee consists of Jim Bosnjak, John Lund and Mary Katherine Wold. The compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee consist of Jim Bosnjak, John Lund and William Galle. The strategic partnerships committee consists of Alan Shortall, John Lund and Mary Katherine Wold. Our board of directors has determined that each of Jim Bosnjak, John Lund, William Galle and Mary Katherine Wold is ‘independent” within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq listing standards.

The term “selling stockholders” includes the stockholders listed below and their transferees, pledgees, donees, assignees or other successors. We are paying all of the expenses in connection with such registration and the sale of the shares, other than selling commissions and the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to the selling stockholders. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time, and any changed information will be set forth if and when required in prospectus supplements or other appropriate forms permitted to be used by the SEC. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, none of the selling stockholders has had any material relationship within the past three years with the Company or any of its predecessors or, to the Company’s knowledge, its affiliates. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, to our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders is a broker-dealer and/or affiliated with a broker-dealer.
     The following table sets forth, for each of the selling stockholders to the extent known by us, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned, the number of shares of our common stock offered hereby and the number of shares and percentage of outstanding common stock to be owned after completion of this offering, assuming all shares offered hereby are sold. Shares offered hereby represent such shares of our common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of previously issued options by respective selling stockholders.
     Unless otherwise indicated, the selling stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock. All of the information contained in the table below is based solely upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders or otherwise known by us. In addition to the shares offered hereby, which represent such shares of our common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of previously issued options by the respective selling stockholders, the selling stockholders may otherwise beneficially own our shares of common stock as a result of, among others, open market purchases, which information is not obtainable by us without undue effort and expense. The selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which the information regarding the shares beneficially owned was last known by us, all or a portion of the shares beneficially owned in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
     The number of shares outstanding and the percentages of beneficial ownership are based on 54,604,696 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of June 8, 2010.
     For the purposes of the following table, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which that selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this prospectus through the exercise of any stock option.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
     The following description of our capital stock is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are included as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 of this registration statement.
Common Stock
     We are authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock, US$0.01 par value per share.
     Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available.
     Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including the election of directors.
     Holders of our common stock do not have any conversion, redemption or preemptive rights. In the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in any assets remaining after the satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors and the aggregate liquidation preference of any preferred stock then outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
     All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
     We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, US$0.01 par value per share. We may issue any class of preferred stock in any series. Our board of directors has the authority to establish and designate series, and to fix the number of shares included in each such series and the variations in the relative rights, preferences and limitations as between series, provided that, if the stated dividends and amounts payable on liquidation are not paid in full, the shares of all series of the same class shall share ratably in the payment of dividends including accumulations, if any, in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such shares if all dividends were declared and paid in full, and in any distribution of assets other than by way of dividends in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable were discharged in full. Shares of each series when issued shall be designated to distinguish the shares of each series from shares of all other series.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
     Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may be considered as having an anti-takeover effect, such as those provisions:
    authorizing our board of directors to issue from time to time any series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series of preferred stock;
 
    prohibiting stockholders from acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting, effective upon the implementation date (the “Implementation Date”) of the Implementation Agreement between us and UMSL;
 
    requiring advance notice of stockholder intention to put forth director nominees or bring up other business at a stockholders’ meeting;
 
    prohibiting stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders;

72


Table of Contents

    requiring a 662/3% majority stockholder approval in order for stockholders to amend our bylaws or adopt new bylaws; and
    providing that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by our board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships). Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in our authorized number of directors will be filled only by a majority of our board of directors then in office, even less than a quorum, or, to the extent if there are no directors, by the stockholders.
     We are also subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which in general prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
    prior to that date, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
    upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
 
    on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
     In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons.
     The above-summarized provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Listing
     Our shares of common stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol of “UNIS”. Our shares of common stock are traded on the ASX in the form of CDIs under the symbol “UNS.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar
     The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
     The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. The term “selling stockholders” includes transferees, pledgees, donees, assignees or other successors in interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from each selling stockholder. The number of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder will decrease as and when any such transfers are completed. The plan of distribution for the selling stockholders’ shares sold hereunder will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, pledgees, donees assignees or other successors will be selling stockholders hereunder. To the extent required, we may amend and supplement this prospectus from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
     The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any and all of their shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market or in the form of CDIs on the Australian Securities Exchange (or any other market, exchange or trading facility on which the shares are then listed) or in private transactions. The selling stockholders may make these sales at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. The selling stockholders may also make sales in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may offer their shares from time to time pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
    one or more block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
    an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
    public or privately negotiated transactions;
 
    through underwriters, brokers or dealers (who may act as agents or principals) or directly to one or more purchasers;
 
    a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
     The selling stockholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the selling stockholders or borrowed from the selling stockholders or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from the selling stockholders in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock.
     In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling stockholders may:
    enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume;
 
    sell the shares short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions;
 
    enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of shares offered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; and
 
    pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell.
     In addition to the foregoing methods, the selling stockholders may offer their shares from time to time in transactions involving principals or brokers not otherwise contemplated above, in a combination of such methods or described above or any other lawful methods. The selling stockholders may also transfer, donate or assign their shares to lenders, family members and others and each of such persons will be deemed to be a selling stockholder for purposes of this prospectus. The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock, and if the selling stockholders default

74


Table of Contents

in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus; provided, however, in the event of a pledge or then default on a secured obligation by the selling stockholder, in order for the shares to be sold under this registration statement, unless permitted by law, we must distribute a prospectus supplement and/or amendment to this registration statement amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledge, secured party or other successors in interest of the selling stockholder under this prospectus.
     The selling stockholders may also sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which permits resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
     Sales through brokers may be made by any method of trading authorized by any stock exchange or market on which the shares may be listed or quoted, including block trading in negotiated transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, such brokers may act as dealers by purchasing any or all of the shares covered by this prospectus, either as agents for others or as principals for their own accounts, and reselling such shares pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may effect such transactions directly, or indirectly through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents acting on their behalf. In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders, in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions for routine market transactions).
     In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders, and any broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of such broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
     We will pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares.
LEGAL MATTERS
     The validity of the common stock offered in this prospectus will be passed upon for us by DLA Piper LLP (US).

Unilife Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Description of Business and Unaudited Financial Statements
Unilife Corporation (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) and subsidiaries is a medical device company focused on the design, development, manufacture and supply of a proprietary range of retractable syringes. The primary target customers for the Company’s products include pharmaceutical manufacturers and suppliers of medical equipment to healthcare facilities and distributors to patients who self-administer prescription medication. The Company also manufactures non-proprietary Class I and Class II medical devices, such as specialty syringes, under contract for outsourcing customers.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented as required by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 contained in its registration statement on Form 10.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unilife Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On September 1, 2009, Unilife Medical Solutions Limited, an Australian Corporation, (“UMSL”) entered into a Merger Implementation Agreement with Unilife Corporation, a newly formed Delaware subsidiary of UMSL, pursuant to which stockholders and option holders of UMSL would exchange their existing interests in UMSL for equivalent interests in Unilife Corporation and Unilife Corporation would become the parent or ultimate parent of UMSL and its subsidiaries. The redomiciliation transaction was approved by the Australian Federal Court and the shareholders and option holders of UMSL and was completed on January 27, 2010. In the redomiciliation each holder of UMSL ordinary shares or share options received one share of common stock or one stock option, of Unilife Corporation for every six UMSL ordinary shares or share options, respectively, held by such holder, unless a holder of UMSL ordinary shares elected to receive, in lieu of common stock, Chess Depository Interests, or CDIs of Unilife (each representing one-sixth of a share of Unilife common stock) in which case such holder received one CDI of Unilife for each ordinary share of UMSL. All share and per share data have been retroactively restated to reflect the one for six share recapitalization.
References to the “Company” include Unilife Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including UMSL, unless the context otherwise requires. References to “Unilife” are references solely to Unilife Corporation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates are principally in the areas of revenue recognition and share-based compensation expense. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of plastic syringe components and include direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first in, first out method. The Company routinely reviews its inventory for obsolete, slow moving or otherwise impaired inventory and records estimated impairments in the periods in which they occur. Inventories consist of the following:
                 
    March 31, 2010     June 30, 2009  
    (in thousands)  
Raw materials
  $ 654     $ 567  
Work in process
    59       530  
 
           
Total inventories
  $ 713     $ 1,097  
 
           
Share-Based Compensation
The Company grants stock options, restricted stock and common stock as compensation to its employees, directors and consultants. Certain employee and director awards vest over stated vesting periods and others also require achievement of specific performance or market conditions. The Company expenses the grant-date fair value of awards to employees and directors over their respective vesting periods. To the extent that employee and director awards vest only upon the achievement of a specific performance condition, expense is recognized over the period from the date management determines that the performance condition is probable of achievement through the date they are expected to be met. Awards granted to consultants are sometimes granted for past services, in which case their fair value is expensed on their grant date, while other awards require future service, or the achievement of performance or market conditions. Timing of expense recognition for consultant awards is similar to that of employee and director awards; however, aggregate expense is re-measured each quarter end based on the then fair value of the award through the vesting date of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the exception of market-based grants, which are valued based on Barrier and Monte Carlo pricing models. Option pricing methods require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. See Note 3 for additional information regarding share-based compensation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from licensing fees, industrialization efforts and product sales.
In June 2008, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing arrangement to allow its pharmaceutical partner to use certain of the Company’s intellectual property in order and solely to develop in collaboration with the Company, the Company’s Unifill syringe for use in and sale to the pre-filled syringe market. The 10.0 million Euro up-front, non-refundable fee paid for this license is being amortized over the expected life of the related agreement. In late fiscal 2009, the Company entered into an industrialization agreement with its pharmaceutical partner, under which specific payment amounts and completion dates were established for achievement of certain pre-defined milestones in its development of the Unifill syringe. Revenue is recognized upon achievement of the “at risk” milestone events, which represents the culmination of the earnings process related to such events. Milestones include specific phases of the project such as product design, prototype availability, user tests, manufacturing proof of principle and the various steps to complete the industrialization of the product. Revenue recognized is commensurate with the milestones achieved and the Company has no future performance obligations related to previous milestone payment as each milestone payment is non-refundable when received.
The Company recognizes revenue from sales of products at the time of shipment and when title passes to the customer. Product sales were $1.7 million and $3.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”)”. SFAS 168 represents the last numbered standard issued by the FASB under the old (pre-codification) numbering system, and amends the GAAP hierarchy. On July 1, 2009, the FASB launched its new codification (i.e. the FASB Accounting Standards Codification — “ASC”). The codification supersedes existing GAAP for nongovernmental entities.

Table of Contents

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 provides amendments to the criteria in Subtopic 605-24 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. It establishes a hierarchy of selling prices to determine the selling price of each specific deliverable which includes vendor-specific objective evidence (if available), third-party evidence (if vendor-specific evidence is not available) or estimated selling price if neither of the first two are available. ASU 2009-13 also eliminates the residual method for allocating revenue between the elements of an arrangement and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement. Finally, ASU 2009-13 expands the disclosure requirements regarding a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Equity Transactions and Share-Based Compensation
During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued 10,544,961 shares of common stock and raised an aggregate of A$50.9 million ($47.1 million), net of issuance costs through a combination of a U.S. and Australian private placement and a share purchase plan for the Company’s Australian and New Zealand shareholders. The Company also issued options to purchase 3,145,767 shares of common stock for no additional consideration to the investors in the private placement. Of these options, 50% are exercisable at A$7.50 per share, and 50% are exercisable at A$12.00 per share. The Company also issued options to purchase 497,662 shares of common stock to certain brokers as consideration for their services in connection with the private placement, which are exercisable at A$5.10 per share. All of the options described above are immediately exercisable and will expire in November 2012. The proceeds from the private placement and the share purchase plan will be used to accelerate the expansion of the Company’s U.S. operational capabilities and production facilities, to purchase capital equipment and complete the industrialization program for the Unifill syringe.
On November 17, 2009, the Company issued 3,333,333 shares of common stock to the former shareholders of Unitract Syringe Pty Limited. These shares were issued in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation for the purchase of that business which had been accrued for on the date of purchase.
On January 14, 2010, the Company issued 833,333 fully vested shares of common stock to certain employees in consideration of their transfer to the Company of certain intellectual property rights and recognized $4.3 million of share-based compensation expense classified in research and development expense.
The Company recognized total share-based compensation expense related to stock options, grants of restricted stock and common stock to employees, directors and consultants of $6.8 million and $2.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Stock Options
The Company has granted stock options to certain employees and directors under the Employee Share Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is designed to assist in the motivation and retention of employees and to recognize the importance of employees to the long-term performance and success of the Company. The Company has also granted stock options to certain consultants outside of the Plan. The majority of the options to purchase common stock vest on the anniversary of the date of grant, which ranges from one to three years. Additionally, certain stock options vest upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock reaching certain minimum levels, as defined in the agreements. Finally, certain other stock options vest upon the meeting of certain performance milestones such as the signing of specific agreements and the completion of the Company’s anticipated listing on a U.S. stock exchange. As of March 31, 2010, the Company expects that all such performance conditions that have not currently been met will be met. Share-based compensation expense related to options granted to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related vesting term. Share-based compensation expense related to options granted to consultants is recognized ratably over each vesting tranche of the options.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company granted a total of 383,333 options to purchase common stock to certain employees and directors under the Plan. The options are exercisable at prices ranging from A$2.10 to A$7.20 per share and vest over a period of three years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options is $2.08 per share.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company granted a total of 3,643,429 options to purchase common stock outside the Plan in connection with the Company’s private placement as discussed above.

Table of Contents

In November 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). The Stock Incentive Plan provides for a maximum of 6,000,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for the issuance of stock options and other stock-based awards. Commencing on January 1, 2011, and on each January 1st thereafter, through January 1, 2019, the share reserve will automatically adjust so that it will equal 12.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
On November 20, 2009, the Company’s compensation committee approved a new incentive package for its Chief Executive Officer, which included the issuance of 834,000 options to purchase common stock under the Stock Incentive Plan. The options were issued on February 3, 2010 following shareholder approval of the incentive package. The options are exercisable at $6.64 per share and vest upon the trading price of the Company’s common stock reaching certain minimum levels on Nasdaq. The grant date fair value of the options is $3.18 per share and the fair value of the options is being expensed on a straight-line basis over a derived service of period 1.92 years.
In January 2010, the Company issued 1,000,000 options to purchase common stock to a consultant under the Stock Incentive Plan in consideration for various services to be performed for the Company. The options to purchase common stock are exercisable at A$6.33 per share and vest upon the trading price of the Company’s CDIs reaching certain minimum levels on the Australian Stock Exchange. The options were valued on the last day of the quarter at $3.18 per share and the fair value of the options is being expensed ratably over the vesting period of each tranche, which ranges from 0.96 years to 1.94 years. The options will be re-valued on a quarterly basis and marked to market until exercised.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company granted a total of 70,000 options to purchase common stock to employees under the Stock Incentive Plan. The options are exercisable at $5.80 per share and vest over a period of three years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options is $2.71 per share.

The aggregate intrinsic value is defined as the difference between the market value of the Company’s common stock as of the end of the period and the exercise price of the in-the-money stock options. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $4.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Of the 3,620,666 non vested options, 1,083,333 are held by consultants.
The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions in calculating the fair value of options granted during the period from January 27, 2010 to March 31, 2010 (the period subsequent to the Company’s redomiciliation), the period from July 1, 2009 to January 26, 2010 (the period prior to the Company’s redomiciliation) and the nine months ended March 31, 2009 (prior to the Company’s redomiciliation):

Subsequent to the Company’s redomiciliation, the fair value of each stock option was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, with the exception of grants subject to market conditions, which were valued using a Monte Carlo pricing model. The Company has not historically paid dividends to its stockholders and, as a result, assumed a dividend yield of 0%. The risk free interest rate is based upon the rates of U.S. Treasury bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the option. Due to the Company’s limited Nasdaq trading history, the expected volatility used to value options granted after January 27, 2010 is based upon a blended rate of the historical share price of the Company’s stock on the Australian Stock Exchange and the volatility of peer companies traded on U.S. exchanges operating in the same industry as the Company. The expected term of the options to purchase common stock is based upon the simplified method, which is the mid-point between the vesting date of the option and its contractual term.
Prior to the Company’s redomiciliation, the fair value of each stock option was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the exception of grants subject to market conditions which were valued based on a Barrier option pricing model. The Company has not historically paid dividends to its shareholders and, as a result, assumed a dividend yield of 0%. The risk free interest rate is based upon the rates of Australian bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the option. The expected volatility is based upon the historical share price of the Company’s common stock on the Australian Stock Exchange. The expected term of the stock options to purchase common stock is based upon the outstanding contractual term of the stock option on the date of grant.
Restricted Stock
The Company has granted shares of restricted stock to certain employees and consultants under the Stock Incentive Plan. During the period prior to vesting, the holder of the non-vested restricted stock will have the right to vote and the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared. All non-vested shares of restricted stock are reflected as outstanding; however, they have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share.
For employees the fair value of restricted stock is measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s common stock on that date. Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock issued to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the longest vesting period. For restricted stock granted to consultants, the fair value of the awards will be re-valued on a quarterly basis and marked to market until vested. Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock issued to consultants is recognized ratably over each vesting tranche.
On November 20, 2009, the Company’s compensation committee approved the issuance of 1,166,000 shares of restricted stock to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer under the Stock Incentive Plan. The shares were issued on February 3, 2010 following shareholder approval. The shares of restricted stock vest upon the satisfaction of certain performance targets, as defined in the agreement. The grant date fair value of the restricted shares was $6.64 per share.
On March 26, 2010, the Company issued 572,000 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and a consultant. The majority of the shares of restricted stock vest on certain anniversaries from the date of grant, ranging from one to three years. The remaining shares vest upon the satisfaction of certain performance targets, as defined in the agreements. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the restricted shares was $6.07 per share.
As of March 31, 2010, the total compensation cost related to all non-vested awards not yet recognized is $17.2 million. This amount is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.20 years.
4. Land and Construction-in-Progress
In November 2009, the Company acquired 38 acres of land in York County, Pennsylvania for $2.0 million and entered into a development agreement with Keystone Redevelopment Group, LLC (“Keystone’) to develop its new 165,000 square foot office, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facility. In accordance with the agreement, Keystone is assisting the Company with the selection of, as well as the review and management of, architects, engineers, designers, contractors and other experts and consultants engaged to assist in the development of the new facility. Additionally, Keystone is assisting the Company in obtaining financing for the facility. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay Keystone a total of $0.8 million.
The Company has also entered into a construction agreement for the new facility for a total of 1.25% of the cost of work, which is estimated to be $0.3 million and an agreement with an architectural firm for design and structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering services for the new facility for a total cost of $1.6 million.

The Company estimates the cost of the facility to be approximately $27.0 million. This includes the projected construction costs, the projected manufacturing facility fit out costs and the fees described above. The Company intends to fund up to approximately $9.0 million of the development costs for the new facility out of its existing cash reserves and is seeking external financing for up to approximately $18.0 million from a commercial bank or other lending institution in the U.S. and/or from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or other federal and state bodies. The Company has budgeted for $8.0 million — $10.0 million in projected capital expenditures to be used towards further development of the new facility.
The Company began construction of its new facility in November 2009.
In November 2009, the Company signed a purchase agreement with Mikron Assembly Technology for the development and supply of a pilot automated assembly system to support the commercial production of its Unifill syringe. The development of the system began in December 2009, with scheduled completion and installation into the Company’s new facility during the fourth quarter of calendar 2010. The Company anticipates that this automated assembly system will have a target production capacity of approximately 60.0 million units per year.

(4.75% as of March 31, 2010) per annum and mature on dates ranging from December 2010 through August 2021. The borrowings under the bank term loans are collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories and certain machinery and equipment and are subject to certain financial covenants which require the Company’s tangible assets to equal at least 10% of the stockholder’s equity determined in accordance with GAAP. Under the term loan agreements, the Company is not permitted to pay cash dividends without the prior written consent of the lender. Certain of these bank term loans also have a minimum debt service ratio financial covenant, with which the Company was not in compliance as of March 31, 2010. The $1.3 million outstanding as of March 31, 2010 under these bank term loans is classified in the current portion of long-term debt. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Company received a waiver from its lender for its previous non-compliance with this covenant.

8. Contingencies
The Company is involved in, or has pending, various legal proceedings, claims, suits and complaints arising out of the normal course of business. Based on the facts currently available to the Company, management believes that these claims, suits and complaints are adequately provided for, covered by insurance, without merit or not probable that an unfavorable outcome will result.
9. Business Alliance
sanofi-aventis
On June 30, 2008, the Company signed an exclusive licensing agreement with a pharmaceutical company, sanofi-aventis, which was amended in June 2009. Under the amended agreement, the Company has granted sanofi-aventis an exclusive license to certain of the Company’s intellectual property in order and solely to develop, in collaboration with the Company, the Unifill syringe for use in and sale in the pre-filled syringe market within those therapeutic areas to be agreed upon between the Company and sanofi-aventis and a non-exclusive license outside those therapeutic areas that are exclusive to sanofi-aventis or after the expiration of the exclusive license with sanofi-aventis. The exclusive license granted thereunder has an initial term expiring on June 30, 2014. If during the term of the exclusive license, sanofi-aventis has purchased the Unifill syringe for use with a particular drug product, sanofi-aventis will receive a ten-year extension of the term of the exclusive license, which extension will be reduced to five years if sanofi-aventis does not sell a minimum of 20,000 units of the product in any of the first five years of such ten-year extension period. Pursuant to the exclusive licensing agreement, sanofi-aventis has paid the Company a 10.0 million Euro ($13.0 million) up front non-refundable one-time fee. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $2.5 million of this up-front payment as revenue and deferred $10.6 million which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $1.8 million of this up-front payment as revenue, respectively.
Under the exclusive licensing agreement, the Company is not precluded from using certain of its intellectual property to develop, license and sell any products in any market other than the ready-to-fill syringe market, or from entering into licensing or other business arrangements with other pharmaceutical companies for the ready-to-fill syringe market outside those therapeutic areas that are exclusive to sanofi-aventis, or after the expiration of the exclusive license with sanofi-aventis. If the Company grants a license to a third party in respect of the ready-to-fill syringe market, then the Company is required to pay sanofi-aventis 70% of any access, license or other upfront fee received from such third party for access to purchase the products until our payments to sanofi-aventis have totaled 10.0 million Euro, following which the Company is required to pay 30% of such fees it receives through the end of the initial exclusivity period. The Company is also required to pay sanofi-aventis an annual royalty payment of 5% of the revenue generated from any sale of the Unifill syringe to third parties, up to a maximum amount of 17.0 million Euro in such royalty payments.

Under a related industrialization agreement, signed on June 30, 2009, sanofi-aventis has agreed to pay the Company up to 17.0 million Euro ($23.4 million) in milestone-based payments to fund the completion of the Company’s industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. The industrialization program began in July 2008 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of calendar 2010. Unless terminated earlier, the industrialization agreement’s term extends to the completion of the industrialization program. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $5.0 million and $7.3 million in revenue related to the milestones achieved, respectively.
The industrialization agreement provides that, subject to the full completion of the industrialization program, the parties will negotiate a supply agreement for the manufacture and purchase of the final product on a commercial scale. The supply agreement will provide that sanofi-aventis and its affiliates will purchase the final product exclusively from us, and the industrialization agreement provides that we are not required to commit more than 30% of our expected installed production capacity to sanofi-aventis and its affiliates for the 12 months following the receipt of a purchase order. Any order of sanofi-aventis, together with its other orders, that will exceed the 30% capacity limit will require up to a maximum of 24 months lead time before we are required to commence delivery of that order.
On February 25, 2010, the Company and sanofi-aventis executed a letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed on a list of therapeutic drug classes within which sanofi-aventis has the exclusive right to purchase the Unifill syringe. Pursuant to the letter agreement and the exclusive licensing agreement, sanofi-aventis has secured exclusivity for the Unifill syringe within the full therapeutic classes of antithrombotic agents and vaccines until June 30, 2014 and has also secured exclusivity in an additional six smaller subgroups that fall within other therapeutic classes that the Company believes represent new market opportunities in the pharmaceutical use of prefilled syringes.
Stason Pharmaceuticals
In March 2010, the Company signed an exclusive five year agreement with Stason Pharmaceuticals; a U.S. based pharmaceutical company to market its Unitract 1mL syringe in Japan, China and Taiwan. Under the agreement, Stason Pharmaceuticals is required to purchase a minimum of 1.0 million units of the Unitract 1 mL syringe per year during the term of the contract.
10. Financial Instruments
The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:
                                 
    March 31, 2010     June 30, 2009  
    Carrying     Estimated     Carrying     Estimated  
    Amount     Fair Value     Amount     Fair Value

Assets :
                               
Cash equivalents — certificates of deposit
  $ 22,364     $ 22,364     $ 243     $ 243  
 
                       
Short-term investments — certificates of deposit
  $ 9,195     $ 9,195     $     $  
 
                       
The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, which includes certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short term maturities of these items. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying value based upon the rates that the Company would currently be able to receive for similar instruments of comparable maturity.
The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

F-13


Table of Contents

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The levels in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following table presents the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Unilife Corporation
Lewisberry, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Unilife Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Unilife Corporation and subsidiaries at June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Description of Business
     Unilife Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a medical device company focused on the design, development, manufacture and supply of a proprietary range of retractable syringes. The primary target customers for the Company’s products include pharmaceutical manufacturers and suppliers of medical equipment to healthcare facilities or patients who self-administer prescription medication. The Company also manufactures non-proprietary Class I and Class II medical devices, such as specialty syringes under contract for outsourcing customers.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Principles of Consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unilife Medical Solutions Limited (“UMSL”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, a newly formed subsidiary, Unilife Corporation, became UMSL’s parent holding company in a transaction described in Note 15. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in U.S. currency. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand, deposits at banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates fair value.
     Accounts Receivable
     Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, which also represents the net realizable amount. The Company has historically not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts, but rather evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable on a periodic basis. In instances in which management is aware of circumstances that may impair a particular customer’s ability to meet its obligation, the related obligation would be written off. Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2009 consists principally of amounts due from a pharmaceutical company related to the achievement of certain milestones under the related industrialization agreement described in Note 13.
     Inventories
     Inventories consist primarily of plastic syringe components and include direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first in, first out method. The Company routinely reviews its inventory for obsolete, slow moving or otherwise impaired inventory and records estimated impairments in the periods in which they occur. Inventories consist of the following:
                 
    June 30,  
    2009     2008  
Raw materials
  $ 567     $ 457  
Work in process
    530       608  
 
           
Total inventories
  $ 1,097     $ 1,065

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
     Property, Plant and Equipment
     Property, plant and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
     Depreciation and amortization expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as listed below:
     
Asset Category   Useful Lives
Machinery and equipment
  3 to 15 years
Furniture and fixtures
  7 years
Leasehold improvements
  Shorter of improvement life or remaining term of lease
     The Company reviews the carrying value of the long-lived assets periodically to determine if facts and circumstances exist that would suggest that assets might be impaired or that the useful lives should be modified. Among the factors the Company considers in making the evaluation are changes in market position and profitability. If facts and circumstances are present which may indicate impairment is probable, the Company will prepare a projection of the undiscounted cash flows of the specific business entity and determine if the long-lived assets are recoverable based on these undiscounted cash flows. If impairment is indicated, an adjustment will be made to reduce the carrying amount of these assets to their fair value.
     Goodwill and Intangible Assets
     Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Goodwill is subject to, at a minimum, an annual impairment assessment of its carrying value. Additional impairment assessments would be performed if events and circumstances warranted such additional assessments during the year. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimated fair values of the reporting units are estimated using an earnings model and a discounted cash flow valuation model. The discounted cash flow model incorporates the Company’s estimates of future cash flows, allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting units, future growth rates and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates used to discount those estimated cash flows. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit, if lower than the carrying value of the respective reporting unit (such carrying value determined after management allocation of certain shared assets), would then be allocated to the reporting unit’s net identifiable assets based on their respective estimated fair values. The remaining unallocated reporting unit fair value, if any, would then be compared to the carrying amount of that unit’s goodwill and, if lower, the Company would recognize an impairment charge to the extent of the deficiency. There were no impairments recorded on goodwill during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
     Definite-lived intangible assets include patents which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted) expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of an asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. There were no impairments recorded on intangible assets during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 or 2007.
     The Company expenses costs related to internally developed patents as incurred.
     Deferred Financing Costs
     Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred in connection with debt financings. These costs are amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.
     Income Taxes
     The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect tax credit carryforwards and the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

     The Company requires that the realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. The benefit to be recorded in the financial statements is the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within the provision (benefit) for income taxes within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The new guidance requires that the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. If a tax position meets the more likely than not recognition criteria, the tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This accounting standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated the positions taken in connection with the tax provisions and tax compliance for the years included in these financial statements. The Company does not believe that any positions it has taken will not prevail on a more likely than not basis. As such no disclosure of such positions was deemed necessary. Our open tax years include all returns filed for 2002 and later in Australia and for 2005 and later in the United States. Should the Company be required to provide for interest or penalties in regards to its tax positions, such changes will be included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.
     Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The carrying value of financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The Company believes that the current carrying amount of its long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these instruments are subject to change with, or approximate, market interest rates.
     Share-Based Compensation
     The Company grants both stock options and shares as compensation to its employees, directors and consultants. Certain employee and director awards vest over stated service periods and others also require achievement of specific performance or market conditions. The Company expenses the grant date fair value of awards to employees and directors over their respective service periods or over the period from grant date to the date the required performance or market conditions are expected to be met, if shorter. To the extent that employee and director awards vest only upon the achievement of a specific performance condition, expense is recognized over the period from the date management determines that the conditions are achievable through the date they are expected to be met. Awards granted to consultants are sometimes granted for past services, in which case their fair value is expensed on their grant date, and sometimes granted with future service, performance or market conditions. Timing of expense recognition for consultant awards is similar to that of employee and director awards; however, aggregate expense is re-measured each quarter end based on the fair value of the award at that date. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the exception of market-based performance grants, which are valued based on a Barrier pricing model. Option pricing methods require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. See Note 3 for additional information regarding share-based compensation.
     Foreign Currency Translation
     The Australian dollar (“A$”) is the functional currency for the Company’s Australian operations. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange existing at the year-end date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average annual exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from these translations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will be included in income upon sale or liquidation of the foreign investment. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, are recorded in other (income) expense within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and aggregated $345, $(19) and $1 during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

     Comprehensive Income (Loss)
     Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists only of foreign currency translation adjustments.
     Revenue Recognition
     The Company recognizes revenue from licensing fees, industrialization efforts and products sold.
     In early fiscal 2008, the Company granted an exclusive licensing arrangement to allow its pharmaceutical partner to use certain of the Company’s intellectual property in order and solely to develop in collaboration with the Company, the Company’s Unifill syringe for use in and sale to the pre-filled syringe market. The up-front, non-refundable fee paid for this license is being amortized over the expected life of the related agreement. In late fiscal 2009, the Company entered into an industrialization agreement with its pharmaceutical partner, retroactive to July 2008, under which the Company received payments upon achievement of certain pre-defined milestones in its development of the Unifill syringe. Revenue is recognized upon achievement of the “at risk” milestone events, which represents the culmination of the earnings process related to such events. Milestones include specific phases of the project such as product design, prototype availability, user tests, manufacturing proof of principle and the various steps to complete the industrialization of the product. Specific payment amounts and completion dates were established for each milestone payment. Revenue recognized is commensurate with the milestones achieved. Billings are similarly triggered and the Company has no future performance obligations related to previous milestone payments. Each milestone payment is non-refundable when made.
     The Company recognizes revenue from sales of products at the time of shipment and when title passes to the customer. These amounts were $3,874, $3,420 and $1,946 during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
     Advertising Costs
     Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred total advertising costs of $51, $43 and $38 during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
     Research and Development Costs
     Research and development costs, which primarily consist of salaries, benefits and contracted services are expensed as incurred.
     Earnings (Loss) Per Share
     Basic earning (loss) per share is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issued through common stock equivalents. The dilutive effect of potential common shares, consisting of outstanding options to purchase common stock, is calculated using the treasury stock method.
     Government Grants
     Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When a grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. When a grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred income and recognized in the income statement on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the related asset.

     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”) SFAS 168 represents the last numbered standard issued by the FASB under the old (pre-codification) numbering system, and amends the GAAP hierarchy. On July 1, 2009, the FASB launched its new codification (i.e. the FASB Accounting Standards Codification). The codification supersedes existing GAAP for nongovernmental entities.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued a new accounting standard included in ASC 805, Business Combinations, formerly SFAS No. 141 (revised), “Business Combinations”. ASC 805 significantly changes the accounting and disclosure requirements for business combinations. ASC 805 is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. ASC 805 will be applied prospectively to business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the effective date. The impact that the adoption of ASC 805 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be dependent upon the extent of future business combinations.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued a new accounting standard included in ASC 810, Consolidation, formerly SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — and amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”. This new standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. ASC 810 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company currently has no noncontrolling interests and therefore, does not believe that the adoption of ASC 810 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2008, the FASB issued a new accounting standard included in ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, formerly FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This new standard amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142,”Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new standard also provides guidance for expanded disclosures related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2008, the FASB issued a new accounting standard included in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, formerly FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”. This new standard states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard included in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, formerly SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”. ASC 855 sets forth: 1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; 2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and 3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted ASC 855 for its year ended June 30, 2009. The Company originally evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were originally issued, which was November 12, 2009. The Company re-evaluated subsequent events through February 11, 2010 (unaudited) for purposes of the reissuance of these statements on that date.

3. Equity and Share-Based Compensation
     During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued 980,571 and 2,303,562 shares of its common stock in a private placement with various investors at a price of $0.90 and $1.26 per share, respectively. The aggregate offering price of the private placement was approximately $3,785, and the net proceeds to the Company, after payment of approximately $237 in expenses, was approximately $3,548.
     During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 2,333,333 shares of its common stock in a private placement with various investors at a price of $1.32. The aggregate offering price of the private placement was approximately $3,080, and the net proceeds to the Company, after payment of approximately $256 in expenses, was approximately $2,824.
     The Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to stock options and grants of common stock to employees, directors and consultants of $3,059, $846 and $509 during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increased expense during the year ended June 30, 2009 is primarily related to more awards issued during that fiscal year compared to prior fiscal years. The total tax benefit recognized related to these awards was $918, $254 and $153 during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which was fully offset by changes in the Company’s valuation allowance. The Company calculated its available APIC pool of net excess benefits using the transition method as defined in ASC 718.
     As of June 30, 2009, the total compensation cost related to all nonvested awards not yet recognized is $895. This amount is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 0.58 years.
     Stock Options
     The Company has granted stock options to certain employees and directors under the Employee Share Option Plan, (the “Plan”). The Plan is designed to assist in the motivation and retention of employees and to recognize the importance of employees to the long-term performance and success of the Company. The Company has also granted stock options to certain consultants outside of the Plan. The majority of the options to purchase common stock vest on the anniversary of the date of grant, which ranges from one to three years. Additionally, certain stock options vest upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock reaching certain minimum levels, as defined in the agreements. Finally, certain other stock options vest upon the meeting of certain Company milestones such as the signing of specific agreements and the completion of the Company’s anticipated listing on a U.S. stock exchange. As of June 30, 2009, the Company expects that all such market and performance conditions will be met. Share-based compensation expense related to these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related vesting term. The Plan does not provide for a fixed number of available shares.
     The following is a summary of the Plan and non-Plan stock option activity during the year ended June 30, 2009:

     The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $0.62, $0.87, and $0.42 respectively.
     The fair value of each stock option is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the exception of grants subject to market conditions which are valued based on a Barrier option pricing model. The Company has not historically paid dividends to its shareholders, and, as a result assumed a dividend yield of 0%. The risk free interest rate is based upon the rates of Australian bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the option. The expected volatility is based upon the historical share price of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the stock options to purchase common stock is based upon the outstanding contractual term of the stock option on the date of grant. The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions in calculating the fair value of options granted during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
                         
    2009   2008   2007
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Risk-free interest rate
    4.76 %     5.61 %     6.05 %
Expected volatility
    80 %     55 %     67 %
Expected life (in years)
    4.4       3.5       2.8

     Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities
     In 2005, the Company qualified and was awarded Job Creation Tax Credits from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through the Department of Community and Economic Development. The maximum credits the Company qualifies for was $21 in Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax, which expires in 2012. The credits are contingent on the Company maintaining its operating facility in York County, Pennsylvania, continued operations for five years after the award, creating 65 full-time jobs within three years which pay at least 150% of the Federal minimum wage rate and investing at least $2,425 in the business.
     In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets, which are principally net operating loss carry forwards, management considers the reversal of deferred tax liabilities which are scheduled to reverse during the carry forward period and tax planning strategies.
     As of June 30, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal, state and Australian income tax purposes of approximately $3,146, $3,118 and $17,562, respectively which are available to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal, state and Australian net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire on various dates from 2023 through 2029.
     Deferred taxes are comprised of the following at June 30, 2009 and 2008.

12. Contingencies

13. Business Alliance
     On June 30, 2008 the Company signed an exclusive licensing agreement with a pharmaceutical company, sanofi-aventis, which was amended in June, 2009. Under the amended agreement, the Company has granted sanoifi-aventis an exclusive license to certain of the Company’s intellectual property in order and solely to develop, in collaboration with the Company, the Unifill syringe for use in and sale to the pre-filled syringe market within those therapeutic areas to be agreed upon between the Company and sanofi-aventis and a non-exclusive license outside those therapeutic areas that are exclusive to sanofi-aventis or after the expiration of the exclusive license with sanofi-aventis. Pursuant to the exclusive licensing agreement, sanofi-aventis has paid the Company a 10,000 Euro ($13,024) up front non-refundable one-time fee. The exclusive license granted thereunder has an initial term expiring on June 30, 2014, unless the Company and sanofi-aventis fail to agree upon the list of therapeutic areas that are exclusive to sanofi-aventis, in which event the exclusive license will have a term until June 29, 2012 for all therapeutic areas. If during the term of the exclusive license, sanofi-aventis has purchased the Unifill syringe for use with a particular drug product, sanofi-aventis will receive a ten-year extension of the term of the exclusive license, which extension will be reduced to five years if sanofi-aventis does not sell a minimum of 20,000 units of the product in any of the first five years of such ten-year extension period. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $2,456 of this up front payment as revenue and deferred $10,568 which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement.
     Under the exclusive licensing agreement, the Company is not precluded from using certain of its intellectual property to develop, license and sell any products in any market other than the ready-to-fill syringe market, or from entering into licensing or other business arrangements with other pharmaceutical companies for the ready-to-fill syringe market outside those therapeutic areas that are exclusive to sanofi-aventis, or after the expiration of the exclusive license with sanofi-aventis. If the Company grants a license to a third party in respect of the ready-to-fill syringe market, then the Company is required to pay sanofi-aventis 70% of any access, license or other upfront fee received from such third party for access to purchase the products until our payments to sanofi-aventis have totaled 10 million, following which the Company is required to pay 30% of such fees it receives through the end of the initial exclusivity period. The Company is also required to pay sanofi-aventis an annual royalty payment of 5% of the revenue generated from any sale of the Unifill syringe to third parties, up to a maximum amount of 17 million in such royalty payments.

     Under a related industrialization agreement, signed on June 30, 2009, sanofi-aventis has agreed to pay the Company up to 17,000 Euro ($23,400) in milestone-based payments to fund the completion of the Company’s industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. The industrialization program began in July 2008 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010. The industrialization agreement requires sanofi-aventis to provide a list to the Company that specifies therapeutic drug classes for which it seeks to market the Unifill syringe on an exclusive basis. The Company and sanofi-avenits will then discuss the exclusivity list during a several month negotiation period, and if the list is agreed, sanofi-aventis will retain exclusive rights to the use of the product within these designated therapeutic drug classes until June 30, 2014, subject to the extension described above. If the Company and sanofi-aventis are unable to reach an agreement on the list, sanofi-aventis will retain full exclusivity across all therapeutic classes until July 1, 2012. Unless terminated earlier, the industrialization agreement has a term until the completion of the industrialization program. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $13,601 in revenue related to the milestones achieved under the industrialization agreement of which $7,024 was collected after year end.
     The industrialization agreement provides that, subject to the full completion of the industrialization program, the parties will negotiate a supply agreement for the manufacture and purchase of the final product on a commercial scale. The supply agreement will provide that sanofi-aventis and its affiliates will purchase the final product exclusively from us, and the industrialization agreement provides that we are not required to commit more than 30% of our expected installed production capacity to sanofi-aventis and its affiliates for the 12 months following the receipt of a purchase order. Any order of sanofi-aventis, together with its other orders, that will exceed the 30% capacity limit will require up to a maximum of 24 months lead time before we are required to commence delivery of that order.

Each holder of UMSL ordinary shares or share options will receive one share of common stock or one stock option, of Unilife Corporation for every six UMSL ordinary shares or share options, respectively, held by such holder, unless a holder of UMSL ordinary shares elects to receive, in lieu of common stock, Chess Depository Interests, or CDI’s (each representing one-sixth of a share of the Company’s common stock) of the Company, in which case such holder will receive one CDI of Unilife Corporation for each ordinary share of UMSL. All share and per share data has been retroactively restated to reflect the one for six share consolidation. The redomiciliation transaction is subject to various conditions, including without limitation, approval by the Australian Federal Court, approval by the shareholders and optionholders of UMSL, and a report by an independent expert concluding that the redomiciliation transaction is fair, reasonable and in the best interests of the shareholders and optionholders.
     As part of its subsequent events re-evaluation through February 1, 2010, the Company noted that this redomiciliation occurred as described above on January 27, 2010 (unaudited).

The shares of common stock were or will be issued at a price of A$5.10 per share for aggregate proceeds of A$32,086, of which A$14,439 is subject to shareholder approval and the options will be issued for no additional consideration. Each of the options will be exercisable within three years after the date of grant. Half of the options will have an exercise price of A$7.50 per share, and the other half of the options will have an exercise price of A$12.00 per share. In conjunction with the private placement, UMSL also provided its eligible Australian and New Zealand shareholders with an opportunity to purchase shares of common stock in a share purchase plan, at a price of A$5.10 per share, for a total consideration of up to A$10,000. In addition, UMSL will, subject to shareholder approval, issue options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock to certain advisors and brokers as compensation for their services with respect to the private placement and the share purchase plan. These options will be exercisable within three years after the date of grant at a price of A$5.10 per share. UMSL plans to seek the requisite shareholder approval at a shareholders meeting to be held in November 2009. The Company intends to use the proceeds raised from the private placement and the share purchase plan to accelerate the expansion of its operational capabilities, production facilities and equipment requirements in the United States, and complete the industrialization of the Unifill syringe. As part of its subsequent events re-evaluation through January 5, 2010, the Company notes that shareholder approval was obtained in November 2009 and the Australian and New Zealand shareholders actually acquired A$21,500 (unaudited) under the share purchase plan.
     While the private placement was conducted by UMSL prior to the redomiciliation, all of the share numbers and share option exercise prices referred to above give effect to the share consolidation the Company will effect in connection with the redomiciliation (one share of the Company’s common stock equals six ordinary shares of UMSL). The ordinary shares and share options issued in the placement will be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock and options to purchase its common stock in connection with the redomiciliation.
     During October 2009, the Company accepted a $5,200 offer of assistance from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The offer includes $2,000 for the development of the Company’s new global headquarters and manufacturing facility as well as up to $2,000 in low interest financing loans for land, building, acquisition and construction costs. The offer also includes a $500 opportunity grant, as well as $500 in tax credits. Finally, the offer includes up to $200 for the reimbursement of eligible job training costs. The offer is based on the Company’s proposed project being expected to create more than 200 new full-time jobs by December 31, 2012, to retain the Company’s 97 existing employees and to have a total cost of $86,000 and is contingent upon the Company submitting complete applications and meeting all program guidelines. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to receive any or all of the assistance for the Company’s current development project or otherwise.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
     Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Our Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, we will indemnify, and advance expenses to, a director or officer in an action brought by reason of the fact that the director or officer is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of any other entity, against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. We may maintain insurance to protect a director or officer against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Delaware law.
     The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. The provisions will not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. There is currently no pending litigation or proceeding against any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

     In connection with our incorporation and initial organization, we issued 100 shares of common stock to UMSL for a total consideration of $1.00, which was exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
     On January 27, 2010, pursuant to two separate schemes of arrangement under Australian law, Unilife Corporation issued shares of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock in exchange for outstanding UMSL ordinary shares and options to purchase UMSL ordinary shares. The schemes of arrangement were approved by the Australian Federal Court and by UMSL shareholders and option holders. The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.
     Pursuant to the share scheme of arrangement, UMSL shareholders had the right to elect to receive either shares of common stock of Unilife Corporation or Chess Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), with each CDI representing one-sixth of one share of Unilife Corporation common stock. Holders of 281,904,534 UMSL ordinary shares elected to receive CDIs, which are tradable on the ASX. Holders of 33,780,966 UMSL ordinary shares elected to receive shares of Unilife Corporation common stock (equivalent to 5,630,161 shares of common stock). As a result of these elections, Unilife Corporation issued 281,904,534 CDIs and 5,630,161 shares of common stock. Option holders of UMSL have the right to elect to receive either shares of common stock or CDIs upon exercise of their options. Shares of common stock may be converted into CDIs and CDIs may be converted into shares of common stock, in each case, in the ratio of one share of common stock for six CDIs. Only CDIs are tradable on the ASX and only shares of common stock will be tradable on Nasdaq.

Item 16. Exhibits
     The Exhibits listed on the Exhibit Index of this Registration Statement are filed herewith or are incorporated herein by reference to other filings.
Item 17. Undertakings
     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
  1.   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
  i.   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
  ii.   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
  iii.   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

II-3


Table of Contents

  2.   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
  3.   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
  4.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
