diaDexus, Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
June 30, 2010 and 2009 and December 31, 2009


1.
Organization
 
Nature of Business Activities
 
diaDexus, Inc. (“diaDexus” or the “Company”), was founded as a Delaware limited liability company in August 1997 by GlaxoSmithKline Corporation (“GlaxoSmithKline”, formerly SmithKline Beecham Corporation) and Incyte Genomics, Inc. (“Incyte”).  In April 2000, the Company was converted to a Delaware corporation.
 
The Company is a diagnostics company focusing on the development and commercialization of patent-protected in vitro diagnostic products addressing unmet needs in cardiovascular disease.
 
On May 28, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, as amended on June 24, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), with VaxGen, Inc. (“VaxGen”), Violet Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of VaxGen (“Merger Sub I”), Violet Acquisition, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of VaxGen (“Merger Sub II”), and John E. Hamer, as the representative of the Company’s stockholders.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, diaDexus became a wholly owned subsidiary of VaxGen through a merger of Merger Sub I with and into diaDexus, with diaDexus being the surviving company in the merger (“Merger I”), and, immediately following the effectiveness of Merger I, the merger of diaDexus with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity in the merger (“Merger II” and together with Merger I, the “Merger”). The Merger was consummated on July 28, 2010; see Note 16 - Subsequent Events.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods.
 
The results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any subsequent period. The information included in these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations during every year since inception.  At June 30, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $182.5 million. Management was pursuing financing alternatives and on July 28, 2010 completed a merger with VaxGen that improves the combined Company’s liquidity position. Management believes the combined Company has sufficient funds to continue its product development and increase product revenue to level which will achieve profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Significant Accounting Policies
 
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These accounting policies have not significantly changed.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  This update will require (1) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (2) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).  This guidance clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosure are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements for related to the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2010. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Loss per Share
 
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock that the Series F preferred shareholders received in connection with the Merger; see Note 16 - Subsequent Events. No holders of common shares or other series of preferred shares of diaDexus received any VaxGen shares on account of such shares, and such shares are, therefore, not included in the calculation. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock. Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock were the same for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, as the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss are the same for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

The following outstanding shares of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock because including them would have been anti-dilutive:

      148,185,051       146,093,933  
 
4.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments.  The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities are invested in deposits and securities held with three major financial institutions in the United States of America that management believes are trustworthy.  Deposits and securities held in these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.  The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities.
 
Revenues from the following four customers represented a significant portion of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and accounts receivable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

To achieve profitable operations, the Company must successfully develop, manufacture, and market its current and future products.  There can be no assurance that any such products can be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed.  These factors could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial results, financial position and future cash flows.
 
The Company’s future products may require approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or certain international regulatory agencies prior to commencing commercial sales.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s future products will receive any of these required approvals.  If the Company was denied such approvals or such approvals were delayed, it would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

diaDexus, Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
June 30, 2010 and 2009 and December 31, 2009


The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, product liability and the need to obtain additional financing.
 
5.
Fair Value Measurement
 
In accordance with the ASC 820, the Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
 
Level 1: Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities;
 
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.
 
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,076,666 and restricted cash of $400,000.  The following table presents the fair value of these certain financial assets and liabilities determined using the inputs defined at June 30, 2010.

Retention Bonus
 
The Company has a Retention Bonus Plan, as amended and restated as of June 24, 2010 (the “Retention Bonus Plan”), which provides retention bonus payments to participating employees upon the consummation of a Change in Control (as defined in the Retention Bonus Plan).  The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, if consummated, will result in a Change of Control for purposes of this plan. Under the plan, 8% of the common stock issued by VaxGen under the Merger Agreement would be distributed to the participating employees.  The distribution to the participants is to be in cash unless the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines that for any participant the distribution should be in the form of the common stock received by the Company’s shareholders. The Compensation Committee determined that the executive officers of the Company should receive VaxGen shares, except for amounts equal to the tax withholding required. All non-executive employees are to receive cash. The retention bonus will be expensed when paid.
 
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company becomes involved in legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of business.  Management is not currently aware of any matters that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Stock Option Plans
 
In January 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) and reserved a total of 23,163,326 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for issuance under the 2010 Plan, under which 15,435,189 of these shares were converted from the 2000 Plan. These shares of the Company’s Common Stock were reserved for issuance to employees and consultants of the Company.  The Board of Directors has the authority to determine to whom options will be granted, the number of shares, the term and exercise price (which cannot be less than the estimated fair value at date of grant for incentive stock options or 85% of the estimated fair value for nonstatutory stock options).  If an employee owns stock representing more than 10% of the outstanding shares, the price of each share shall be at least 110% of estimated fair value.  Options generally vest 25% after one year and 1/48 of all of the shares vest on each monthly anniversary of the vesting commencement date thereafter.

Stock-Based Compensation Associated with Awards to Employees
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase 2,626,480 and 2,911,520 shares of common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.01 per share in both periods.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 includes compensation expense for stock-based awards granted to employees based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 of $54,240 and $82,880, respectively.  As of June 30, 2010, there were total unrecognized compensation costs of $102,347 related to these stock options.  These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 1.41 years.
 
The impact on operations for share-based compensation is as follows (in thousands):

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable as of June 30, 2010 was $0. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.  The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

2010
 
2009
       
Expected term (years)
4.20
 
4
Expected volatility
51%
 
56%
Risk-free interest rate
2.10%
 
1.69%
Dividend yield

The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the options vesting term, contractual terms and industry peers as the Company did not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior.  The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for the Company’s common stock.  The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumption as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available.  The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options.  The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.  Different estimates of volatility and expected term could materially change the value of an option and the resulting expense.

In addition, ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  Forfeitures were estimated based on management’s expectation through industry knowledge as well as historical information. If the Merger is consummated, all stock options will terminate.
 
The total fair value of employee shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $105,708 and $85,158, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation Associated with Awards to Nonemployees
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not grant options to purchase shares of common stock to nonemployees.
 
13.
Income Taxes
 
Provision for Income Tax
 
The Company's effective tax rate was 0% for income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and expects that its effective tax rate for the full year 2010 will also be 0%.  Based on the weight of available evidence, including cumulative losses since inception and expected future losses, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset amount will not be realized and therefore a valuation allowance has been provided on net deferred tax assets.
 
Under the provisions of Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, substantial changes in the Company’s ownership may limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits that can be utilized in the future to offset taxable income. If the Merger is consummated, there will be a change in control. The Company has not yet completed the analysis necessary to determine the impact of the change on its net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits.
 
The Company files U.S. Federal and state tax returns in various states. The Company is currently not subject to any income tax examinations. Due to the Company’s losses, generally all years remain open.
 
Uncertain Tax Positions
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 740-10 (formerly known as FIN 48), Accounting for Income Taxes, guidance that addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10 uncertain tax positions, the Company did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax positions. As of the date of adoption, the Company recorded a $518,248 reduction to deferred tax assets, all of which was offset by a full valuation allowance and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. Total unrecognized income tax benefits as of December 31, 2009 was $518,248, none of which if realized, will affect the effective tax rate due to valuation allowance. There was no change on the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the year 2010 and the Company does not anticipate the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months.

The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes. Management determined that no accrual for interest and penalties was required as of June 30, 2010.

Employee Benefit Plan
 
In January 1998, the Company established a qualified savings plan for employees under Section 401(k) (the “401(k) Plan”) of the Internal Revenue Service Code, in which employees may defer their pretax annual salary up to the statutory limits.  The 401(k) Plan permits discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions to be made by the Company.  Through June 30, 2010 the Company has not made any contributions to the 401(k) Plan.

Subsequent Events
 
On July 28, 2010, the Merger was consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.
 
Upon completion of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Series F Preferred Stock of diaDexus converted into approximately 1.7583 shares of common stock of VaxGen, which in the aggregate totaled 19,059,144 shares of VaxGen common stock.  The Common Stock, Series A – E Preferred Stock and all warrants of diaDexus were cancelled without consideration. In addition, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the Retention Bonus Plan, VaxGen (i) issued 901,390 shares of VaxGen common stock to the executive officers of diaDexus and (ii) paid or will pay approximately $90,048 in cash to the executive officers of diaDexus to satisfy certain withholding obligations incurred in connection with the issuance of the aforementioned shares of VaxGen common stock and $136,729 in cash to non-officer employees of diaDexus.  As of July 28, 2010, after giving effect to the Merger and the issuance of VaxGen common stock to the executive officers of diaDexus, VaxGen had 53,067,057 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, with the former holders of diaDexus Series F Preferred and the executive officers of diaDexus collectively owning approximately 38%, and the pre-Merger VaxGen stockholders owning approximately 62%, of the outstanding VaxGen common stock.
 
Approximately 10% of the shares issued in the Merger have been placed in escrow to satisfy indemnification obligations, if any, of the former holders of diaDexus Series F Preferred and the executive officers of diaDexus pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The escrow will expire on July 28, 2011.
