PART I
Forward looking Statements
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding us, our business, prospects
and results of operations that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors
and events that could cause our actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ
materially from those that may be anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may
affect such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: our ability to successfully
develop new products and services for new markets; the impact of competition on our revenues,
changes in law or regulatory requirements that adversely affect our ability to market our products;
delays in the introduction of our products or services into the market; our ability to secure
adequate financing for our operations; and our failure to keep pace with our competitors.
When used in this report, words such as believes, anticipates, expects, intends and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of
identifying forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no
obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances
that may subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures made by us in this report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may
affect our business.
Except as the context otherwise requires, the terms Company, we, our, us or Omni, means
Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Omni Bio Operating, Inc.
Background and History
We were incorporated in Colorado under the name of Across America Financial Services, Inc. (Across
America) on December 1, 2005 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Across America Real Estate Corp.
Across America completed a spin off from Across America Real Estate Corp. in March 2007. Across
America intended to act as a mortgage broker for commercial real estate transactions; however, no
revenues were generated from this business.
Prior to our formation, two separate corporations were formed for the purpose of evaluating new
uses of an FDA- approved agent. One corporation, Maxcure Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Maxcure), was
formed as a Colorado corporation on December 26, 2006. Maxcure was formed for the purpose of
entering into a license agreement and research agreement with the Regents of the University of
Colorado (RUC) to further scientific studies on an FDA-approved agent related to treatment and
prevention of viral disorders. The second corporation, Apro Bio Pharmaceutical Corporation (Apro
Utah), was formed as a Utah corporation on February 28, 2006. Apro Utah was formed for the
purpose of entering into a license agreement and research agreement with RUC for advancing
scientific studies on an FDA-approved agent related to treatment and prevention of bacterial
disorders. Part of the motivation for formation of Apro Utah was to attain the ability to sell
treatments and/or countermeasures related to the bacterial disorders to federal agencies. On March
31, 2008, Apro Utah was merged into Maxcure and the name of the merged entity was changed to Apro
Bio Pharmaceutical Corporation (Apro Bio).
On March 31, 2009, Across America completed the acquisition of Apro Bio pursuant to the terms of
the Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, as amended (the Merger), among Across
America, Apro Bio and Across America Acquisition Corp. (AAAC), a Colorado corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Across America. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, AAAC was merged
into Apro Bio, and Apro Bio became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Across America. As required by the
terms of the Merger, on May 27, 2009, Across America changed its corporate name to Omni Bio
Pharmaceutical, Inc.

Business Plan and Operation
We are in pursuit of advancing existing and novel therapies that we believe have the potential to
move through clinical trials by shepherding them through the FDA approval processes and advancing
them through to commercialization. This core strategy is based on licensing issued patents and
pending patent applications that cover new uses for an existing FDA-approved drug, Alpha-1
Antitrypsin (AAT), that has come off of its initial patents. AAT is currently prescribed for the
treatment of pulmonary emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among
individuals with genetic deficiency of AAT. This indication is unrelated to our licensed
intellectual property. Any patents originally issued to other entities claiming the composition of
AAT have expired.
We are the licensee of three patent portfolios from RUC. These patent portfolios are comprised of
three issued and 24 pending patent applications. One license agreement with RUC relates to the
treatment of diabetes, transplantation or graft rejection and promotion of transplant or graft
survival. Transplantation rejection includes cellular and organ transplant rejection. One focus
related to cellular transplantation is islet cell transplantation for the treatment of some
diabetics and the treatment of diabetes in general. We have 15 pending patent applications under
this license agreement.
A second license agreement relates to the treatment and/or prevention of bacterial disorders,
including bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis and biowarfare agents such as anthrax and includes the
licensing of one issued patent United States Patent No. 7,850,970, Titled: Inhibitors of Serine
Protease Activity, Methods and Compositions for Treatment of Bacterial Infections. This patent
expires on August 26, 2024 and covers the prevention of anthrax infection. Additionally, we have
five pending patent applications under this license agreement.
A third license agreement focuses on the treatment and/or prevention of viral disorders and
includes the licensing of two issued patents: (1) United States Patent No. 6,849,605, Titled:
Inhibitors of Serine Protease Activity, Methods and Compositions for Treatment of Viral Infections,
expiring on March 3, 2020; and (2) United States Patent No. 7,807,781 Titled: Inhibitors of Serine
Protease Activity, Methods and Compositions for Treatment of Viral Infections, expiring on January
28, 2025. Both of these patents cover the prevention of HIV. Additionally, we have four pending
patent applications under this license agreement.
In addition to the three licenses with RUC, we are a licensee to a pending patent held by Bio
Holding, LLC (Bio Holding) for the treatment of diabetes. The Bio Holding pending patent claims
relating to the treatment of diabetes using AAT are separate and distinct from the claims filed by
RUC and licensed by us. It is possible that RUCs and Bio Holdings patent filings could be issued
or that one or the other set of claims may be allowed to the disadvantage of the other.
Alternatively, both RUCs and Bio Holdings patent applications could be rejected, which could have
an adverse material effect on our ability to develop a commercial market for AAT for the treatment
of diabetes. See further discussion of our licensing arrangement with Bio Holding below under this
Item. Dr. Leland Shapiro, our principal investigator for the University of Colorado Denver (UCD)
on sponsored research agreements that are funded by us, is the majority shareholder of Bio Holding
and beneficially owns approximately 12% of our common stock as of March 31, 2011.
There are three primary companies that currently manufacture and sell formulations of AAT for the
treatment of genetic deficiency and the treatment for a pulmonary disorder (brand name in
parenthesis): (i) Baxter International Inc. (Baxter) (Aralast NP TM), (ii) CSL
Behring USA (Zemaira®), and (iii) Talecris Biotherapeutics Corp. (Talecris) ( Prolastin
C®). The total estimated market for AAT in 2010 in the current AAT indications was
approximately $475 million according to information published by Talecris, who has approximately
74% of the current market. Our licensed technologies focus on alternative uses of these
commercially available products.
To date, our business efforts have been largely dedicated in pursuing additional capital in order
to fund sponsored research agreements (SRAs) related to the licenses with RUC (the RUC
Licenses) and Bio Holding (the Bio Holding License) to further research related to bacterial
disorders, viral disorders, cellular transplantation/graft rejection and diabetes-related
disorders, and to fund a human clinical trial in Type 1 diabetes. We intend to continue to
outsource the normally capital intensive scientific research function to academic research
institutions such as UCD. This approach can provide us with a specific scientific budget for
funding each application, without the substantial cost of carrying-out basic research internally.
With this approach, we expect to be able to work with each projects lead scientists, overseeing
patent application projects and closely managing our corporate overhead, which should allow most of
our expenses to be concentrated on research and development efforts and prosecuting the patent
applications we have licensed.

Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trial
In the second half of 2009, we began our collaboration with the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood
Diabetes (the Barbara Davis Center) to conduct a proof of principle clinical trial for the
treatment of Type 1 diabetes patients. On June 7, 2010, Omni, RUC and The Barbara Davis Center
(collectively with RUC, the Institution) entered into an Investigational Site Agreement (the
ISA), whereby the Institution, acting on our behalf, agreed to arrange, administer and manage a
clinical study to evaluate Baxters AAT formulation, Aralast NPTM, in the treatment of
patients with Type 1 diabetes (the Diabetes Clinical Trial). The Diabetes Clinical Trial
currently includes 15 patients and is being conducted pursuant to an Investigational New Drug
Application (the IND) granted to us by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The IND allows for the Diabetes Clinical Trial to include up to 50 patients. Base costs, which
include the enrollment fee and other incidental charges for the 15 patients are expected to be
approximately $585,000. Any increase in the patient size of the Diabetes Clinical Trial would
require us to raise additional capital. To date, we have expended approximately $365,000 in cash
related to the Diabetes Clinical Trial.
In March 2010, Omni and Baxter Healthcare Corporation, a subsidiary of Baxter (Baxter Healthcare)
executed a Material Transfer Agreement (the Material Transfer Agreement), whereby Baxter
Healthcare agreed to supply, at no cost, 1.25 kg of Aralast NPTM, with a commercial
value of $420,000, to us for use in the Diabetes Clinical Trial. Pursuant to the Material Transfer
Agreement, we warrant that the Diabetes Clinical Trial will be conducted under either a waiver to
an IND or an IND filed with the FDA. Under the Material Transfer Agreement, we are responsible to
maintain the IND and comply with all reporting and other obligations associated with the IND. In
addition, we are required to prepare for Baxter Healthcare a summary of the information and results
generated by the Diabetes Clinical Trial upon its completion and provide copies of any interim
reports provided to us by the Barbara Davis Center.
To date, eight young adult patients had undergone treatment and had completed the eight week
infusion protocol. Upon receipt and review of the data to be provided by the Barbara Davis Center
to the Data and Safety Monitoring Board of the NIH, we anticipate that clearance will be provided
to initiate treatment of the remaining seven subjects (of the initial 15 patients) in the Diabetes Clinical
Trial provided that no adverse events with any of the enrolled patients have occurred. The seven
additional subjects enrolled into the trial will be juveniles. To date, there have been no adverse
events reported in the Diabetes Clinical Trial.
License and Sponsored Research Agreements
RUC Licenses
Under the RUC Licenses, we have exclusive, royalty-bearing licenses to certain of RUCs patent
rights (the Patent Rights) on a worldwide basis. In addition, any improvements to the inventions
covered by the RUC Licenses claimed in the Patent Rights or to any other preexisting patent
application or patent that is dominated by the Patent Rights shall be included in the terms and
conditions of the respective license agreement with no additional compensation to RUC.
The RUC Licenses further provide that in the event that an investigator makes any invention in the
field of use, the practice of which would not require the practice of an invention claimed in or
covered by the licensed Patent Rights (Independent Invention), then, provided such Independent
Invention is not subject to any prior contractual or legal obligation, we would have an exclusive
option (Option) to obtain the worldwide intellectual property rights and commercial rights on
terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith by the parties following the exercise of the
Option.
Bacterial Disorders License
|
|
On May 15, 2006, we entered into our first exclusive license agreement with RUC covering
patent applications directed to treatment and/or prevention of bacterial disorders (the
Bacterial License). Some of these disorders include disorders due to anthrax,
tuberculosis and bacterial pneumonia. Concurrently, we entered into a three year SRA with
RUC on behalf of UCD for research to advance the bacterial disorders license agreement (the
Bacterial SRA). Under the Bacterial SRA, we made payments aggregating $1,097,460, and we
have no further obligations under this SRA. We are continuing to pursue patent rights
directed to targeting bacterial disorders with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) as well as international patent offices, which include Japan, Canada and Europe. |
4
Viral Disorders License
|
|
On March 31, 2008, we entered into a license agreement with RUC covering patent applications
and an issued patent directed to treatment and/or prevention of viral disorders (the Viral
License). Some of these disorders include, but are not limited to, HIV and influenza. We
are currently pursuing expanded patent rights based on our licensed technology directed to
treating viral-related disorders with the USPTO. |
|
|
On August 18, 2010, we entered into an SRA with RUC whereby UCD will perform studies in
vitro and in vivo to determine the biological activity of AAT as an inhibitor of
influenza (the Viral SRA). The Viral SRA was executed pursuant to the Viral License. We
are obligated to make quarterly payments to UCD, which total approximately $440,000 over a
two-year period. All rights to intellectual property developed in connection with the Viral
SRA (the Viral Intellectual Property) will belong to RUC, and RUC will have the right to
obtain patent protections on the Viral Intellectual Property. In accordance with the terms
of the Viral SRA, RUC granted to us an option to acquire an exclusive, worldwide,
royalty-bearing license of any of the Viral Intellectual Property, subject to certain
conditions and exceptions. To date, we have made payments in the amount of approximately
$110,000 under this SRA. |
|
|
On June 8, 2011, we gave written notice to RUC terminating the Viral SRA. The termination
of the Viral SRA will be effective 45 days from the date of written notification, unless an earlier termination date is
negotiated with RUC. Unless otherwise negotiated with RUC, we must reimburse UCD for the
total actual and reasonable costs it has incurred under the Viral SRA through the date of
termination, including those costs necessary to implement the early termination of the Viral
SRA and costs incurred by UCD as a result of non-cancelable obligations, which may extend
beyond the date of such termination. In addition, certain indemnification obligations and
intellectual property rights will survive the termination of the Viral SRA. The
termination of the Viral SRA does not impact the continuance of the Viral License or
licensing of the intellectual property and patents (both issued and pending). |
Cellular Transplant License
|
|
On November 12, 2008, we entered into a license agreement with RUC for technology related to
the treatment of cellular transplantation and graft rejection and diabetes (the Cellular
Transplant License). The transplantation procedures include organ and cellular
transplantation, including bone marrow, as well as pancreatic islet cells, heart, kidney and
lung, among others. We are currently pursuing expanded patent rights based on our licensed
technology directed to treating cellular transplantation and graft rejection disorders with
the USPTO and international patent offices, which include Canada and Europe. |
Bio Holding License
On September 28, 2009, we entered into a license agreement with Bio Holding for patent applications
related to the treatment of diabetes (the Diabetes License). In addition, the Diabetes License
grants us a first refusal to license any other intellectual property owned by Bio Holding that is
not part of the Diabetes License.
In consideration for the Diabetes License, we were obligated to pay Bio Holding $25,000. As
additional consideration, we issued to a minority shareholder of Bio Holding a warrant (the Bio
Holding Warrant) to purchase 650,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share. The Bio Holding Warrant expires on September 28, 2014. We estimated the fair value of the
Bio Holding Warrant on the issuance date at $5,590,980, which was calculated using the
Black-Scholes model. The total value ascribed to the Bio Holding License was $5,615,980.
On September 3, 2010 and pursuant to the Diabetes License, we executed an SRA with RUC (the
Diabetes SRA), whereby UCD will study the effects of AAT on cytokine production by human
pancreatic islet cells and the ability of AAT to protect these cells from induced toxicity (the
Project). The Diabetes SRA will terminate on the earlier of the completion of the Project or
February 28, 2012, unless extended or renewed in writing by either Omni or RUC or otherwise
terminated prior to February 28, 2012 in accordance with the terms of the Diabetes SRA. We are
obligated to make payments to UCD of $88,000 over a one-year period commencing in September 2010,
and to date, we have made payments in the amount of approximately $58,000 under this SRA.

Targeted Markets
Type 1 Diabetes
In October 2008, Dr. Leland Shapiro, Dr. Charles Dinarello and Dr. Eli Lewis published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (October 21, 2008 Volume 105, No. 42) a study
titled, Alpha 1-Antitrypsin monotherapy induces immune tolerance during islet allograft
transplantation in mice. This paper reported the success of an acceptable animal model study in
support of the potential effectiveness of protecting the insulin-producing beta cells as well as
during transplantation of islet cells in humans when AAT was administered to prevent organ
rejection of islet cells. Further analysis of these mouse-model results caused these scientists to
hypothesize that certain properties of AAT could result in reduced or eliminated islet damage,
which is a probable cause of Type 1 diabetes. Based on this hypothesis, during the third calendar
quarter of 2009, we pursued sponsoring a human clinical trial at the Barbara Davis Center.
In October 2010, the Diabetes Clinical Trial commenced with the first patient infusion. The
purpose of the Diabetes Clinical Trial is to study whether administering AAT to recently diagnosed
Type 1 diabetics could potentially mediate or eliminate the deterioration of humans having
remaining islet cell populations. We believe that patients admitted into the Diabetes Clinical
Trial could have a variety of outcomes, some or all of which may not be successful or even
partially successful. Patients may have separate and distinct outcomes from the administration of
the drug. They may exhibit no change in the rate of deterioration of their islet cells, or if a
reduction in the rate of deterioration is determined, the rate may be inadequate to prevent the
eventual occurrence of insulin dependency. Alternatively, the administration of AAT over the
eight-week infusion period could cause a reduction or elimination of the deterioration of the islet
cell destruction. There is also the possibility that the administration of AAT will only
temporarily prevent islet cell deterioration and that, in such an event, the utilization of AAT
could be uneconomical.
In the event there is some degree of favorable outcomes in the Diabetes Clinical Trial, we have
approval and could choose to increase the enrollment of the patient population to as many as 50
patients, subsequent to the initial enrollment. Additional enrollment in the study would require a
significant amount of capital that we currently do not have, and there is no assurance that such
financial resources would be made available to us on favorable terms, if at all. In the event that
we obtain favorable data from the Diabetes Clinical Trial, there is no assurance that we will
obtain FDA approval for the use of AAT to treat Type 1 diabetes in humans. Additionally, there is
no assurance that, if approved, we will have available resources to complete a Phase III clinical
trial in a timely manner or at all.
According to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, as many as three million
Americans may have Type 1 diabetes. Each year over 15,000 children are diagnosed with diabetes in
the U.S (approximately 40 children per day). We believe that AAT may arrest the loss of islets if
treatment is initiated soon after diagnosis since there are residual beta cells at this early point
in the disease progression. We believe that the market for the use of AAT in the treatment of Type
1 diabetes could potentially exceed over time its current market in the treatment of COPD and
emphysema. In the U.S. alone, approximately 15,000 new patients per year could result in an
addressable market size of approximately $400 million. However, serving this market would be
subject to, among other things, the availability of AAT products from the current AAT
manufacturers.

Cellular Transplantation
Researchers associated with us have hypothesized that AAT could be effective in reducing transplant
rejection in various types of cellular and organ transplants. As reported above, a study was
published in the Publications of the National Academy of Sciences in 2005 and 2008 that illustrated
that AAT could be effective in treating Type 1 diabetes by, for example, reducing or eliminating
transplantation rejection. One basic theory on why the therapeutic appears to be effective in the
early mice studies is that it prevents or reduces an attack on the transplanted islets by the
immune system or other method. Islets are cells that exist in the pancreas and are responsible for
the production of insulin. Insulin is critical to the metabolism process in burning sugar and
creating energy for the cells in the body. Sugar, if left unchecked by inadequate supplies of
insulin, can result in weight gain, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, early blindness
and stroke. A number of these conditions can result in early stages of death.
Islet transplantation in Type 1 diabetes normally incurs a very high rejection (or cell death
rate), and in these early studies, mice treated at a certain level with the therapeutic evidenced a
100% acceptance of the graft transplant. Islet transplantation is a relatively simple one hour
surgical procedure, but has been plagued with high levels of transplant rejection. This type of
therapy in the human population could have a significant impact on the treatment of Type 1
diabetics if the rate of rejection can be reduced or eliminated. Typically, Type 1 islet
transplantation occurs in very serious cases. The high incidence of graft rejection by recipients
decreases the number of islet transplant patients that can be treated due in part to the fact that
a recipient who has rejected islets will likely undergo additional procedures, which causes
additional drain on the supply of islet cells that can be used for transplant.
Graft Versus Host Disease
An additional AAT indication is the treatment of graft versus host disease (GVHD). GVHD commonly
occurs in a bone marrow transplant, but is also possible in other organ transplant procedures.
Bone marrow transplantation is indicated for late stage cancer patients who have failed alternative
therapies. Bone marrow is the soft tissue inside bones that helps form blood cells that are
responsible for immune response. A donor other than an identical twin is normally a close, but not
exact match to a recipients bone marrow. Differences between the donors and recipients bone
marrow can cause T cells (a type of white blood cell) to attack the recipients body due to the
foreign marrow being recognized as foreign substance by the T cells. Acute GVHD starts within the
first three months after transplantation, while chronic GVHD starts three months after
transplantation. GVHD can last three years or longer.
Once a recipient has received a bone marrow transplant, the recipient normally takes drugs that
suppress the immune system, reducing the severity or risk of incurring GVHD. Acute symptoms of
GVHD can include abdominal pain and cramps, diarrhea, fever, jaundice, skin rash, vomiting and
weight loss. Chronic symptoms can include dry eyes and mouth, hair loss, hepatitis, lung and
digestive tract disorders and skin rash. Increased rates of infection due to immune system
suppression can be commonplace. Complications can include severe damage to the liver, lung or
digestive tract, severe infection and severe lung disease. Some of these complications can lead to
death. Mortality rates from GVHD depend on the degree of severity.
The market in the U.S. for bone marrow transplants is estimated at $1.3 billion. We believe that
the market for the use of AAT in the treatment of GVHD could potentially exceed over time the
current market in the treatment of COPD and emphysema. In the U.S. alone, approximately 25,000 new
patients per year who are undergoing bone marrow transplants would result in an addressable market
size of approximately $375 million. However, serving this market would be subject to, among other
things, the availability of AAT products from the current AAT manufacturers.
Possible Future Clinical Trials Through Strategic Partnerships
In February 2011, we announced that we had obtained letters of intent for conducting future
clinical trials as follows: (1) treatment of GVHD in bone marrow transplant patients; ( 2) two
separate human clinical trials for the treatment of transplant rejection in kidney transplant
recipients; (3) the initiation of a late stage Type 1 diabetes trial; and (4) the initiation of a
trial in Type 2 diabetics that are not responding to currently available forms of therapy and are
at risk of severe cardiovascular complications. We believe that advancing clinical trials in these
indications could provide additional commercial opportunities where our intellectual property
position is currently the strongest. As a first step, we will need to create a partnership, most
likely with an existing AAT manufacturer, and with that partnership discuss the commercial
viability of these indications. Based on their assessment of their current and future AAT
production capabilities, their current and potential new AAT markets and the strength and
commercial application of our intellectual property in these indications, we would hope to form a
strategic partnership with one or more of them. We would position such a partnership(s) to supply
AAT product free of charge and to fund the non-drug clinical trial costs. Subject to available
financing, we would likely first commence a GVHD clinical trial.

Other AAT Indications
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and Mycobacterium Avium Complex
Infection with tuberculosis (TB) is a global concern. According to data published by the World
Health Organization in 2010, approximately one-third of the world population is infected with this
organism and approximately 1.7 million people worldwide died from TB in 2009. The current
antimicrobial agents used to treat TB must be administered for a prolonged period of time, in the
range of 6 to 18 months. One growing concern is the detection of multi-drug resistant strains of
TB that are difficult to treat with available anti-TB drugs and are on the rise. Some of these
resistant strains of TB are all but incurable using currently available antibiotics. Our approach
to TB treatment will be to use a different focus on alternative treatments than are currently
available. It is possible that therapy based on our technology is impervious to mutated forms of
TB, such as the multi-drug resistant strains of TB, because the targets that this potential
technology therapy affects are part of the host and not part of the mycobacterium tuberculosis
organism. Therefore, the target that the potential therapy treats does not change relative to the
type of organism a patient is infected with and therapeutic effectiveness should not diminish.
Researchers at UCD have conducted numerous laboratory studies that support an anti-mycobacterial
effect of this potential therapy. These studies have included investigation of the several
molecules that are responsible for TB containment. The UCD researchers have demonstrated in
laboratory testing that AAT blocks TB infection of human cells. This has been substantiated using
at least two independent infection systems. Furthermore, the UCD researchers have replicated these
successful studies using rapidly-growing mycobacteria (RGM) organisms that are related to TB.
Animal testing of this technology has been initiated through a study which was conducted at
Colorado State University and funded by us, and these models can be used to demonstrate efficacy of
a therapeutic against tuberculosis. We have used an animal model for our initial studies and these
studies have had success in demonstrating efficacy of the potential therapeutic against
tuberculosis. However, there is no proof that the potential therapy against TB and other
mycobacterial will work in humans. Since we will not manufacture our own clinical therapeutic
candidate (a drug has been utilized that is sold by a large biopharmaceutical company), it will be
necessary to purchase candidate drugs from a manufacturer. Alternatively, this potential therapy
could be licensed for its method of use to a manufacturer in exchange for royalties and additional
compensation.
Influenza
The 2009 outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus caused a sudden increase in the interest of
developing new vaccines and treatments for pandemic types of flu. Although the outbreak did not
reach the extreme levels that were predicted by some, the Center for Disease Control in March 2010
estimated that there had been about 12,000 deaths in the United States alone. The 1918 pandemic
flu outbreak is the only massive recorded outbreak of deadly flu in modern history. It is
estimated that in excess of 50,000,000 deaths occurred from this pandemic flu, and the outbreak
resulted in a 10 year reduction in the average life expectancy of the population at its time.
Dr. Leland Shapiro has conducted limited animal studies that have evidenced that AAT could be used
as a potential treatment for influenza infection. In animal studies when AAT was introduced,
influenza cell production was limited by approximately 40% when compared to the control sample that
had been similarly infected with influenza. In the same experiment, a larger dosage of AAT
resulted in an approximate 70% reduction in the measurable amount of influenza when compared to the
control. This treatment could potentially be utilized for seasonal flu, bird flu, swine flu and
weaponized flu. Dr. Leland Shapiros laboratory findings in animal studies have determined that
AAT is effective even if the influenza virus changes or mutates.
The origin of this technology dates to a discovery by UCD researchers. It was found that a human
deficit in the natural human serine protease inhibitor has a significant correlation with increased
incidence of influenza infection. The study reviewed patient data records of 140 patients over an
approximate seven-year period. Of the 140 patients, 28 were deficient in the therapeutic, while
112 were not. Over the course of the study period, of the 28 patients with the deficiency,
approximately 80% were diagnosed with the flu. It was also observed that of the 112 patients that
did not have the deficiency, approximately 30% of this group were diagnosed with the flu.

Anthrax
The U.S. government in recent years has established a number of government programs including the
Project Bioshield Act of 2004, which have provided funds to companies that are pursuing promising
technologies for the prevention of or treatment of bio-hazard related diseases, including anthrax.
Our original plans to pursue a commercial application for an anthrax treatment utilizing AAT have
been deferred due to our belief that our potential treatment for immunological diseases such as
Type 1 diabetes or other broad spread infectious diseases such as GVHD have a substantially greater
opportunity of obtaining the requisite funding necessary to obtain regulatory approval. We are
continuing to investigate options for governmental funding programs in the U.S. and in Europe, but
have reduced our emphasis in this area.
Bacterial Pneumonia
Bacterial pneumonia in ICUs is often caused by a class of organisms called gram-negative rods and
account for a sizable percent of ICU-related deaths. These infections are challenging to treat
because patients in the ICU are already weakened by serious underlying disease. Also, these
gram-negative organisms are often resistant to the antibiotics used to treat these infections.
Our technology may be used to treat gram-negative rod pneumonias, and this approach has important
advantages compared to standard antibiotic use. These advantages include the reduced possibility
of bacterial mutation-induced resistance to this technologys agents. Based in part on the
mechanism of activity of this technology, we believe that a drug based on this concept would best
work as a prophylactic agent that blocks the onset of pneumonia. It is less likely that this
approach can be used as a treatment for bacterial pneumonia after infection has occurred. More
research is needed, however, to investigate the possibility of benefit after pneumonia has
occurred.
Commercialization and Competition
We will rely on the availability of AAT supply from one or more the current manufacturers:
Talecris, Baxter, CSL Behring and Kamada Ltd. (collectively, the AAT Manufacturers). All of
their products are currently FDA approved and used for treatment of emphysema among individuals
with genetic deficiency of AAT.
We intend to commercialize the AAT indications covered under our licenses through sublicensing
arrangements with one or more of the AAT Manufacturers. To date, we have not entered into any such
arrangements. Our ability to sublicense to one or more of the AAT Manufacturers will likely be
subject to their own marketing plans for current AAT indications, their desire and willingness to
market their AAT products into new AAT markets covered by our licensed intellectual property and
the availability of their AAT product supply for new AAT indications. Additional factors in our
ability to execute sublicensing arrangements will be the satisfactory testing for efficacy of our
AAT indications in human clinicals for one or more of the AAT products and the AAT Manufacturers
determination of the marketability of our AAT indications based on an evaluation of the length,
strength and enforceability of the patents included under our own licensing agreements.
Principal competitive factors in our industry include:
|
|
|
the quality and breadth of an organizations technology, research and development
capabilities; |
|
|
|
an organizations intellectual property; |
|
|
|
the skill of an organizations employees and its ability to recruit and retain skilled
employees; |
|
|
|
an organizations intellectual property; |
|
|
|
the range of capabilities, from target identification and validation to drug discovery
and development to manufacturing and marketing; and |
|
|
|
the availability of substantial capital resources to fund discovery, development and
commercialization activities. |
10
We believe that the breadth of the patent portfolio covered under our licensing agreements is a
competitive strength. However, many other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have
significantly larger intellectual property portfolios, substantially more capital resources and
significantly more experience than we do in preclinical and clinical development, sales, marketing,
manufacturing and regulatory affairs.
We are aware of products in research or development by our competitors that address all of the
diseases we are targeting, and any of these products may compete with our product candidates. Our
competitors may succeed in developing their products before we do, obtaining approvals from the FDA
or other regulatory agencies for their products more rapidly than we do, or developing products
that are more effective than our products. These products or technologies might render our
technology obsolete or noncompetitive. Competition is based primarily on product efficacy, safety,
timing and scope of regulatory approvals, availability of supply, price, marketing and sales
capability, reimbursement coverage and patent position.
Government Regulation
Regulations in the U.S. and other countries will have a significant impact on our research, product
development and manufacturing capability and, ultimately, the marketing of our products. All of
our products will require regulatory approval prior to commercialization. In particular, our
products will be subject to rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and other pre-market approval
requirements by the FDA and similar regulatory authorities in other countries. Various statutes
and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, practice, safety, labeling, storage,
record keeping and marketing of our products. The lengthy process of seeking these approvals and
the subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations will require the expenditure of
substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory
approvals could have a material, adverse effect on our ability to commercialize our products in a
timely manner, or at all.
Preclinical Testing. Before a drug may be clinically tested in the U.S., it must be the
subject of rigorous preclinical testing. Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of
product chemistry and animal studies to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product and
its formulations. The results of these studies must be submitted to the FDA as part of an
investigational new drug application (IND), which is reviewed by the FDA before clinical testing
in humans can begin.
Clinical Testing. Typically, clinical testing involves a three-phase process, which
generally lasts four to seven years, and sometimes longer:
|
|
|
Phase 1 clinical trials are conducted with a small number of subjects to determine the
early safety profile and the pattern of drug distribution and metabolism. |
|
|
|
Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted with groups of patients afflicted with a specified
disease in order to provide enough data to evaluate preliminary efficacy and optimal
dosages statistically and to expand evidence of safety. |
|
|
|
Phase 3 clinical trials are large-scale, multi-center, comparative trials, which are
designed to gather additional information for proper dosage and labeling of the drug and to
demonstrate its overall safety and efficacy. |
The FDA monitors the progress of each phase of testing and may require the modification, suspension
or termination of a trial if it is determined to present excessive risks to patients. The clinical
trial process may be accompanied by substantial delay and expense, and there can be no assurance
that the data generated in these studies will ultimately be sufficient for marketing approval by
the FDA.
Marketing Approvals. Before a product can be marketed and sold, the results of the
preclinical and clinical testing must be submitted to the FDA for approval. This submission will
be either an IND or a biologic license application, depending on the type of drug. In responding to
an IND or a biologic license application, the FDA may grant marketing approval, request additional
information or deny the application if it determines that the application does not provide an
adequate basis for approval. There can be no assurance that any approval required by the FDA will
be obtained on a timely basis, or at all.
11
In addition, the FDA may condition marketing approval on the conduct of specific post-marketing
studies to further evaluate safety and efficacy. Rigorous and extensive FDA regulation of
pharmaceutical products continues after approval, particularly with respect to compliance with
current good manufacturing practices, reporting of adverse effects, advertising, promotion and
marketing. Discovery of previously unknown problems or failure to comply with the applicable
regulatory requirements may result in restrictions on the marketing of a product or withdrawal of
the product from the market as well as possible civil or criminal sanctions, any of which could
materially adversely affect our business.
Foreign Regulation. We must obtain regulatory approval by governmental agencies in other
countries prior to commercialization of our products in those countries. Foreign regulatory systems
may be just as rigorous, costly and uncertain as in the U.S.
Possible Pricing Restrictions. The levels of revenues and profitability of
biopharmaceutical companies may be affected by the continuing efforts of government and third party
payers to contain or reduce the costs of health care through various means. For example, in
certain foreign markets, pricing or profitability of therapeutic and other pharmaceutical products
is subject to governmental control. In the U.S., there have been, and we expect that there will
continue to be, a number of federal and state proposals to implement similar governmental control.
While we cannot predict whether any legislative or regulatory proposals will be adopted, the
adoption of such proposals could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and profitability. In addition, in the U.S. and elsewhere, sales of therapeutic and
other pharmaceutical products depend in part on the availability of reimbursement to the consumer
from third party payors, such as government and private insurance plans. Third party payors are
increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. There can be no
assurance that any of our products will be considered cost effective or that reimbursement to the
consumer will be available or will be sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a competitive
and profitable basis.
Research and Development
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we incurred approximately $578,000, $-0-
and $241,000, respectively, in research and development expenses. For the fiscal year ended March
31, 2011, these expenses included costs incurred in the Diabetes Clinical Trial and costs incurred
in SRAs covering diabetes and viral disorders. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, research
and development expense was comprised of costs incurred under an SRA covering bacterial disorders.
Backlog
Since inception, we have not recognized any revenue and have no products for sale. Accordingly, we
had no customer backlog as of March 31, 2011.
Employees
As of March 31, 2011, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer were full-time
employees, our Chief Executive Officer was a part-time employee and our Chief Scientific Officer
was a part-time consultant.
Environmental Compliance
We do not expect that compliance with environmental laws to have any material impact on us.
Recent Developments
On June 10, 2011, we accepted subscription agreements related to the sale of Units in a private
placement (the 2011 Private Placement). Each Unit is comprised of one share of our common
stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock for a purchase price of $1.25 per
Unit. Each warrant in the Unit (the 2011 Private Placement Warrants) is exercisable at $2.00
until five years from the initial closing of the 2011 Private Placement. The maximum Units to be
sold in the 2011 Private Placement are 4,800,000 resulting in gross aggregate proceeds to us of up
to $6.0 million. The net proceeds of the 2011 Private Placement will be used for general working
capital purposes and research and development projects, which could include an equity investment of up to $2.0 million in a related party.
12
On June 10, 2011, we conducted the initial closing under the 2011 Private Placement, pursuant to
which we entered into subscription agreements for the purchase of 2,463,900 Units for an aggregate
subscription price of $3,079,875. After deducting offering expenses including commissions and
expenses paid to the placement agent, net proceeds to us from such sales totaled $2,799,745.
Certain of our officers and directors purchased an aggregate of 50,000 Units in the initial closing
of the 2011 Private Placement. The 2011 Private Placement is expected to close in multiple
closings on or before July 31, 2011.
On June 27, 2011, the Company conducted a second closing under the 2011 Private Placement, pursuant
to which the Company entered into subscription agreements for the purchase of 338,000 Units for an
aggregate subscription price of $422,500. After deducting offering expenses including commissions
and expenses paid to the placement agent, net proceeds to the Company from such sales totaled
approximately $384,000. Certain of our officers and directors purchased an aggregate of 50,000
Units in the second closing of the 2011 Private Placement.

(303) 867-3415 and our website is www.omnibiopharma.com.
Our short and long-term success is subject to many factors beyond our control. If any of the
following risks, as well as any risks described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, actually occur, our
business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. Given these risks and
uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a
prediction of actual results.
Financial and Market Risks
Since inception, we have not had any revenue and have incurred operating losses, and our
accountants expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As a development-stage company, we have no operating history and have not commercialized any
products or generated any revenue since our inception. We have incurred losses in each year since
our inception. Our net losses were $8.2 million, $15.5 million and $4.5 million for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and as of March 31, 2011, we had an
accumulated deficit of $31.2 million. As a result of these factors, for the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, our independent registered public accounting firms have included an
explanatory paragraph within their report issued on our financial statements, which expressed
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Provided that sufficient
funding is available, we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses in the
foreseeable future, as we continue our research activities, conduct the development of, and seek
regulatory approvals for, our product candidates. The likelihood of our success must be considered
in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered in connection with
development-stage companies and the competitive environment of the biotechnology industry. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to develop a revenue source or that our operations will
become profitable.
13
To pursue our current business strategy and continue developing our products, we will need
substantial additional funding in the future. If we do not obtain this funding on acceptable terms,
we may not be able to continue our business and generate enough revenue to recover our investment
in our product development efforts.
We have expended, and will continue to expend, substantial funds to continue our research and
development programs and human studies. To date, we have financed our research and development
efforts through the issuance of equity securities. We will need additional financing to fund our
operating expenses and capital requirements. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on
acceptable terms, or at all. If we are able to raise additional funds by issuing equity securities
or equity-linked securities, the new equity securities may dilute the interests of our existing
stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements containing covenants limiting or
restricting our ability to take certain actions, including incurring additional debt, making
capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
In the long term, we will most likely need to partner with another pharmaceutical company in
order to have sufficient funding to bring our products to market. The most likely partnership
opportunities would be with one of the AAT Manufacturers, Talecris, Baxter, CSL Behring and Kamada.
Currently the largest manufacturer is Talecris, who holds approximately 74% of the sales market
for AAT in the U.S. On June 1, 2011, Talecris was acquired by Grifols S.A. (Grifols), a Spanish
company, who is principally a producer of blood plasma-based products, including AAT. The
acquisition of Talecris could result in a shift in its production and sales focus of their existing
AAT product, Prolastinc® C and its ability to execute strategic partnerships with companies focused
on new indications for AAT use.
Our need for additional funding will depend on many factors, including, without limitation:
|
|
|
the amount of revenue or cost sharing, if any, that we are able to obtain from
others, any approved products, and the time and costs required to achieve those
revenues; |
|
|
|
the timing, scope and results of preclinical studies and clinical trials; |
|
|
|
the size and complexity of our development programs; |
|
|
|
the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals; |
|
|
|
the costs of launching our products; |
|
|
|
the costs of commercializing our products, including marketing, promotional and
sales costs; |
|
|
|
our ability to establish and maintain collaborative partnerships; |
|
|
|
competing technological and market developments; |
|
|
|
the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims; and |
|
|
|
scientific progress in our research and development programs. |
If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may, among other things:
|
|
|
delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs; |
|
|
|
delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our commercialization activities; |
|
|
|
lose rights under existing licenses; |
|
|
|
relinquish more of, or all of, our rights to product candidates on less favorable
terms than we would otherwise seek; and |
|
|
|
be unable to operate as a going concern. |
We may be unsuccessful in commercializing our products. If we are unable to commercialize our
products, we may not be able to recover the large investment that we have made and plan to make in
our product development efforts.
We will have to make substantial expenditures before we are able to generate any revenue.
Before we can commercialize a product, we must rigorously test the product in the laboratory and
complete extensive human studies. We cannot assure you that the costs of testing and study will
yield products approved for marketing by the FDA or that any such products will be profitable. We
will incur substantial additional costs to continue these activities. If we are not successful in
commercializing products, we may be unable to recover the large investment we have made and plan to
make in research and development efforts.
14
Our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted by general economic and financial
market conditions and such conditions may exacerbate the other risks that affect our business.
The worlds financial markets are currently experiencing significant turmoil, resulting in
reductions in available credit, constraints in access to capital, extreme volatility in security
prices, rating downgrades of investments and reduced valuations of securities generally. These
economic conditions have had, and we expect will continue to have, an adverse impact on the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Our business depends on our ability to raise
substantial additional capital and to enter into collaborative research, development and
commercialization agreements. Current market conditions could impair our ability to raise
additional capital when needed for our research and development programs, or on attractive terms.
Recent economic conditions may reduce the amount of discretionary investment that our prospective
collaborators may have available to invest in our business. This may result in prospective
collaborators electing to defer entering into collaborative agreements with us. A reduction in
research and development funding, even if economic conditions improve, would significantly
adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the current disruption in
financial markets and adverse economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad, but the longer the
duration the greater risks we face in operating our business. There can be no assurance, therefore,
that current economic conditions or worsening economic conditions or a prolonged or recurring
recession will not have a significant adverse impact on our operating results.
Our insurance policies are expensive and protect us only from some business risks, which may leave
us exposed to significant, uninsured liabilities.
We carry insurance based on managements and our Boards assessment of related risk that our
business may encounter. Currently, we believe overall coverage to be adequate based on the
development stage of the Company. Our lack of liquidity generally requires us to pay higher than
average premiums for certain insurance policies. In addition, such policies contain deductibles
that we consider significant to our cash available for operations. In the future, we do not know if
we will be able to obtain insurance with adequate levels of coverage or, if available, able to
afford the premiums. Any significant uninsured liability may require us to pay substantial amounts,
which would adversely affect our cash position and results of operations.
Product Development and Commercialization Risks
Our product development efforts depend on commercializing new methods of use for an existing drug.
In addition, we have no experience in developing or commercializing products.
Commercialization of a new product or a new method of use for an existing product involves
risks of failure inherent in the development of products based on innovative technologies and the
risks associated with drug development generally. These risks include the following:
|
|
|
These technologies or any or all of the products based on these technologies may be
ineffective or toxic, or otherwise fail to receive necessary regulatory clearances; |
|
|
|
The products, even if safe and effective, may be difficult to manufacture on a large
scale or uneconomical to market; |
|
|
|
Proprietary rights of third parties may prevent us from exploiting technologies or
marketing products; and |
|
|
|
Third parties may market superior or equivalent products. |
Our ability to commercialize AAT in new indications will depend on our ability to:
|
|
|
complete laboratory testing and human studies; |
|
|
|
obtain and maintain necessary intellectual property rights to our products; |
|
|
|
obtain and maintain necessary regulatory approvals related to the efficacy and
safety of our products; and |
|
|
|
entering into arrangements with one or more of the AAT Manufacturers to provide
manufacturing capacity as well as sales and marketing resources. |
We may not be successful in some or all of these initiatives, and as a result, fail to produce
adequate or any revenues to sustain our business.
15
Because clinical trials for our products are expensive and protracted and their outcome is
uncertain, we will have to invest substantial amounts of time and money that may not yield viable
products.
Conducting clinical trials is a lengthy, time-consuming and expensive process. Before
obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of any product, we must demonstrate through
laboratory, animal and human studies that the product is both effective and safe for use in humans.
We will incur substantial additional expense for and devote a significant amount of time to these
studies.
Before a drug may be marketed in the U.S., a drug must be subjected to rigorous preclinical
testing. The results of these studies must be submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA, which is
reviewed by the FDA before clinical testing in humans can begin. The results of preclinical studies
do not predict clinical success. A number of potential drugs have shown promising results in early
testing, but subsequently failed to obtain necessary regulatory approvals. Data obtained from tests
is susceptible to varying interpretations, which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval.
Regulatory authorities may refuse or delay approval as a result of many other factors, including
changes in regulatory policy during the period of product development.
Completion of clinical trials may take many years. The time required varies substantially
according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of the product candidate. The progress
of clinical trials is monitored by both the FDA and independent data monitoring committees, which
may require the modification, suspension or termination of a trial if it is determined to present
excessive risks to patients. Our rate of commencement and completion of clinical trials may be
delayed by many factors, including:
|
|
|
our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of materials for use in clinical
trials; |
|
|
|
variability in the number and types of patients available for each study; |
|
|
|
difficulty in maintaining contact with patients after treatment, resulting in
incomplete data; |
|
|
|
unforeseen safety issues or side effects; |
|
|
|
poor or unanticipated effectiveness of products during the clinical trials; or |
|
|
|
government or regulatory delays. |
Our product development costs will also increase if we experience delays in testing or
approvals. We do not know whether planned clinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be
restructured or will be completed on schedule, if at all. Significant clinical trial delays also
could allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to
commercialize our products or product candidates.
Our ongoing and anticipated clinical trials are required to use the branded formulation of AAT
that we submit for use in an IND or waiver request with the FDA. If our clinical trial data were
insufficient to determine a material improvement in patient disease outcome, or present safety
issues in the use of the branded formulation of AAT, we may have to file for an additional trial or
trials using another AAT Manufacturers AAT product. This could have a material, adverse effect on
us due to loss of time, patent life and duplication of clinical trial costs. Alternatively, if we
obtain a material improvement in patient disease outcome in our ongoing and or pending clinical
trials and were unable to obtain a satisfactory sublicensing arrangement with the branded
manufacturer of AAT used in the specific trial, we may have to file for an additional trial or
trials using another AAT Manufacturers AAT product. This also would have a material adverse
effect on us due to loss of time, patent life and duplication of clinical trial costs.
Because we will depend on third parties to conduct our human studies, we may encounter delays in,
or lose some control over, our efforts to develop products.
We do not have the ability to independently conduct the clinical trials required to obtain
regulatory approval for our products. We expect to contract with third-party research organizations
to conduct all of our human studies. If we are unable to obtain necessary services on acceptable
terms or at all, we may not complete our product development efforts in a timely manner.
Because we will rely on third parties for successful execution of our clinical trials, we will
not be able to control many aspects of their activities. We will, however, remain responsible for
ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance with the general
investigational plan and protocols for the trial, and the FDA requires us to comply with certain
standards, commonly referred to as Good Clinical Practices, for conducting and recording and
reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and
accurate and that the rights, integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected.
Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities
and requirements. Third parties may not complete activities on schedule, or may not conduct our
clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our stated protocols. The failure of
these third parties to carry out their obligations could delay or prevent the development, approval
and commercialization of our product candidates.
16
Our business and products may subject us to the risk of product liability claims.
We face an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of our product
candidates in human clinical trials and will face increased risk if we commercially sell any
products that we develop. There can be no assurance that any insurance coverage that we obtain with
respect to product liability will be adequate to protect us from liabilities that we might incur in
connection with clinical trials or the commercialization of our products. Product liability
insurance is expensive and may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Successful product
liability claims brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage would have a material,
adverse effect on our business. In addition, product liability claims, whether or not successful,
may result in decreased demand for our products, injury to our reputation, withdrawal of clinical
trial participants, defense costs and difficulty commercializing our product candidates.
We depend on, and will continue to depend on, collaboration with and licenses from third parties,
and if we are not able to enter into and/or continue such collaborations or licenses, we may not be
able to further develop our products without substantial additional expenditures and delays, if at
all.
In addition to maintaining our collaborative relationships with RUC, UCD and Bio Holding, our
strategy for the development, clinical testing, manufacturing and commercialization of our proposed
products includes entering into various collaborations with corporate partners, licensors,
licensees and other third parties in the future, and is dependent on the subsequent success of
these third parties in performing their responsibilities. We intend to seek to enter into
additional arrangements with other collaborators, although there can be no assurance that we will
be able to enter into such collaborations and licenses, or, to the extent that we do, that such
collaborations will be successful. Further, there can be no assurance that any future arrangements
we may enter into will lead to the development of our products with commercial potential, that we
will be able to obtain proprietary rights or licenses for proprietary rights with respect to any
technology developed in connection with these arrangements or that we will be able to insure the
confidentiality of any proprietary rights and information developed in such collaborative
arrangements or prevent the public disclosure thereof.
In general, collaborative agreements provide that they may be terminated under certain
circumstances. There can be no assurance that we will be able to extend any of our product
collaborative agreements on their termination or expiration, or that we will be able to enter into
new collaborative agreements with existing or new partners in the future. To the extent we choose
not to or are unable to establish any additional collaborative arrangements, it would require
substantially greater capital to undertake research, development and marketing of our proposed
products. Additionally, we may find that the development, manufacture or sale of our proposed
products is adversely affected by the absence of such collaborative agreements.
We will depend on others to manufacture and distribute our products, and we will be subject to
their ability and willingness to manufacture AAT for our use. Such potential limitations on
production of AAT could significantly affect our ability to sublicense our intellectual property
rights related to AAT with the AAT Manufacturers.
AAT is a generic drug currently manufactured by four companies and sold into markets that are
significantly smaller than the potential markets covered by the methods of use patents that we
license. The amount of AAT currently manufactured is limited and its manufacturing costs and the
cost per patient treatment in the current markets are expensive. As an example, the annual costs
for treatment for a patient who has emphysema related to AAT deficiency is approximately $100,000.
We do not have and will likely never have manufacturing facilities for AAT, and as such, we will be
solely dependent on the current AAT Manufacturers, who will need to increase their current
production levels.
We have not yet manufactured any products for commercial use and we do not have the financial
resources or capability to process blood plasma into AAT on our own. We intend to contract with one
or more of the AAT Manufacturers and our ability to provide our future products will depend on our
ability to enter into and maintain acceptable collaborative arrangements with them. We will depend
on the AAT Manufacturers to comply with acceptable manufacturing practices and other regulatory
requirements and to deliver materials on a timely basis and in sufficient quantities. They may not
perform satisfactorily and there can be no assurance that they will be able to supply our products
in the required quantities, in compliance with our quality standards or at acceptable costs. Any
product defects or production delays caused by the AAT Manufacturers may delay our development of
products, the submission of the products for regulatory approval and the marketability of such
products.
17
We intend to sublicense our intellectual property rights to one or more of the AAT
Manufacturers of AAT. AAT is expensive to manufacture and the AAT Manufacturers may have
production restraints due to plant capacity, or inability to obtain adequate supplies of human
plasma to fractionate the AAT product. If we are successful in obtaining a sublicensing
agreement(s) with an AAT Manufacturer, it could change its manufacturing plans at any time,
resulting in potential product shortage that may impact us. Additionally, alternative indications
for AAT where we do not have intellectual property could develop, which might influence the AAT
Manufacturers to pursue other indications for marketing AAT, hence limiting our access to supply.
The commercial success of any products that we may develop will depend upon the degree of market
acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare payors and others in the medical community.
Any products that we bring to the market may not gain market acceptance by physicians,
patients, healthcare payors and others in the medical community. If these products do not achieve
an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate material product revenues and we may not
become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of our product candidates, if approved for
commercial sale, will depend on a number of factors, including:
|
|
|
the prevalence and severity of any side effects; |
|
|
|
the efficacy and potential advantages of alternative treatments; |
|
|
|
the prices of our product candidates; |
|
|
|
the willingness of physicians to prescribe our products; and |
|
|
|
sufficient third-party coverage or reimbursement. |
If we are not successful in commercializing our products that have been approved for
commercial sale, we may be unable to recover the large investment we have made and plan to make in
research and development efforts.
Intellectual Property Risks
We may rely on patents and proprietary rights that may fail to protect our business.
Although we have obtained licenses to use the rights under certain patent applications that
have been filed with the USPTO, we may not be able to obtain the protection necessary to fully
cover our proposed activities. Our success will also depend on our ability to operate without
infringing the proprietary rights of other parties. Legal standards relating to the validity of
patents covering pharmaceutical and biotechnological inventions and the scope of claims made under
these patents are still developing. There is no consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims
allowed in biotechnology patents. The patent position of a biotechnology company is susceptible to
uncertainty and involves complex legal and factual questions.
We may have to initiate arbitration or litigation to enforce our patent and license rights. If
our competitors file patent applications that claim technology also claimed by us, we may have to
participate in interference or opposition proceedings to determine the priority of invention. An
adverse outcome could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties and require us to
cease using the technology or to license the disputed rights from third parties. We may not be able
to obtain any required licenses on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
The cost to us of any litigation or proceeding relating to patent rights, even if resolved in
our favor, could be substantial. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of
complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because of their substantially greater
resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any pending patent or
related litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the
marketplace. If we are unable to obtain a license to the patented technology we need, or could only
obtain a license on terms we consider to be unacceptable, or if we were unable to design our
products or processes to avoid infringement of such patented technology, our business would be
harmed.
18
The enforcement of the issued patents and pending patent applications that we currently
license from RUC and Bio Holding may be subject to challenge by the AAT Manufacturers or other
competitors. These issued patents and pending patent applications cover methods of use versus
composition of matter. Generally, composition of matter patents afford better protection from
challenges by competitors. Since our plan for commercializing AAT indications most likely involves
sublicensing the methods of use covered in the RUC and Bio Holding patents to one or more of the
AAT Manufacturers, they may attempt to develop their own, new methods of use in our current AAT
indications that would allow them to claim a method of use separate and distinct from ours. This
could result in limited, if any, royalties being paid to us.
Patents have a 20 year life from the date of filing of the application or parent application,
not from the date of issuance. The issued and pending patent applications that we have licensed
have varying patent lives remaining, ranging from 8 to 14 years, and our ability to obtain revenue from them will largely be
based upon the value ascribed by a sublicensor as determined by the remaining patent life of each
patent or patent application.
If patent laws or the interpretation of patent laws change, our competitors may be able to develop
and commercialize our discoveries.
Important legal issues remain to be resolved as to the extent and scope of available patent
protection for biotechnology products and processes in the U.S. and other important markets outside
the U.S., such as Europe and Japan. Foreign markets may not provide the same level of patent
protection as provided under the U.S. patent system. We expect that litigation or administrative
proceedings may be necessary to determine the validity and scope of certain of our and others
proprietary rights. Any such litigation or proceeding may result in a significant commitment of
resources in the future and could force us to do one or more of the following: cease selling or
using any of our products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property, which would
adversely affect our revenue; obtain a license from the holder of the intellectual property right
alleged to have been infringed, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all;
and redesign our products to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties,
which may be time-consuming or impossible to do. In addition, changes in, or different
interpretations of, patent laws in the U.S. and other countries may result in patent laws that
allow others to use our discoveries or develop and commercialize our products. We cannot assure you
that the patents we obtain or the unpatented technology we hold will afford us significant
commercial protection.
If the patent applications for which we have obtained a license do not result in issued patents,
our competitors may obtain rights to and commercialize the discoveries.
The pending patent applications for which we have obtained licenses may not result in the
issuance of any patents. The applications may not be sufficient to meet the statutory requirements
for patentability in all cases or may be the subject of interference proceedings by the Patent and
Trademark Office. These proceedings determine the priority of inventions and, thus, the right to a
patent for technology in the U.S. Additionally, the patents related to the method of use for
treatment of diseases that we are currently focused on, diabetes, GVHD and islet transplantation,
have not been issued.
If others file patent applications or obtain patents similar to those we have licensed, such
patents may restrict the use of our discoveries.
Universities and companies working in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical fields have filed
patent applications and have been granted patents in the U.S. and in other countries that cover
subject matter potentially useful or necessary to our business. Some of these patents and patent
applications claim only specific products or methods of making products, while others claim more
general processes or techniques useful in the discovery and manufacture of a variety of products.
The risk of third parties obtaining additional patents and filing patent applications will continue
to increase as the biotechnology industry expands. We cannot predict the ultimate scope and
validity of existing patents and patents that may be granted to third parties, nor can we predict
the extent to which we may wish or be required to obtain licenses to such patents, or the
availability and cost of acquiring such licenses. To the extent that licenses are required, the
owners of the patents could bring legal actions against us to claim damages or to stop our
manufacturing and marketing of the affected products. We believe that there will continue to be
significant litigation in our industry regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. If
we become involved in litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources.
19
Because our current intellectual property may not fully protect our discoveries, others may be able
to commercialize products in indications that are similar to those covered by issued patents that
we have licensed.
Issued patents may not provide commercially meaningful protection against competitors and may
not provide us with competitive advantages. Our current intellectual property is comprised of
licenses to methods of use for issued patents and patent applications for alternative uses of AAT,
which is a currently prescribed FDA-approved, generic drug. As compared to a composition of matter
patent, a method of use patent generally has a greater chance of being challenged by another party
through another method of use patent.
Other parties may challenge the patents or design around the issued patents or patent methods
of use that are similar to the methods of use for which we have obtained a license. In addition,
others may discover uses other than those uses covered by the patent rights we license, and these
other uses may be separately patentable. The holder of a patent covering the use of a technology
for which we have a patent claim could exclude us from selling a product for a use covered by its
patent.
If we are unable to protect our trade secrets, others may be able to use our secrets to compete
more effectively.
We may not be able to meaningfully protect our trade secrets. We rely on trade secret
protection to protect our confidential and proprietary information. We believe we have acquired or
developed proprietary procedures and materials for the production of proteins. We have not sought
patent protection for these procedures. While we have entered into confidentiality agreements with
employees and academic collaborators, we may not be able to prevent their disclosure of these data
or materials. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent information and processes.
If we lose our right to license and use of certain critical intellectual property from RUC or Bio
Holding for any reason, our business would be in jeopardy.
If we breach or fail to perform the material conditions of, including our payment obligations
under, or fail to extend the term of the agreements under which we license critical intellectual
property from RUC and Bio Holding, we may lose all or some of our rights to such intellectual
property, and such loss would have a material adverse effect on our business. If we lost our rights
to such intellectual property, we would need to find existing alternative, non-infringing
technology, if any exists, or develop new technology ourselves. The pursuit of any such alternative
would cause significant delay in the development and commercialization of our proposed products.
Regulatory Risks
Because we are subject to extensive changing government regulatory requirements, we may be unable
to obtain government approval of our products in a timely manner or at all.
Regulations in the U.S. and other countries will have a significant impact on our research,
product development and manufacturing activities and will be a significant factor in the marketing
of our products. All of our products will require regulatory approval prior to commercialization.
In particular, our products are subject to rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and other
pre-market approval requirements by the FDA and similar regulatory authorities in other countries,
such as Europe and Japan. Various statutes and regulations also govern or influence the
manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of our products. The lengthy
process of seeking these approvals, and the subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and
regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources. Changes in regulatory approval
policies during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional statutes and
regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each product application may delay or prevent
regulatory approval of an application. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process
and may refuse to accept any application or may require additional preclinical, clinical or other
studies. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could
materially adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products in a timely manner, or at
all.
20
If we or third-party manufacturers or suppliers fail to comply with ongoing FDA or other regulatory
authority requirements, or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products, our products
could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market.
Rigorous and extensive regulation by the FDA and other domestic and foreign regulatory bodies
continues after approval, particularly with respect to compliance with current good manufacturing
practices, reporting of adverse effects, advertising, promotion and marketing. Particularly, we and
third-party manufacturers will be required to comply with the FDAs regulations covering
manufacturing, design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging,
storage and shipping of the products for which we obtain approval. These regulations are enforced
through periodic inspections. Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may
be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or contain
requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy
of the product. Discovery of previously unknown problems or failure to comply with the applicable
regulatory requirements may result in restrictions on the marketing of a product or withdrawal of
the product from the market as well as possible civil or criminal sanctions.
Failure to obtain regulatory approval in international jurisdictions would prevent us from
marketing our products abroad.
We must obtain regulatory approval by governmental agencies in other countries prior to
commercialization of our products in those countries. Foreign regulatory systems may be just as
rigorous, costly and uncertain as in the U.S. and may require additional testing and review. The
time required to obtain approval may be longer than that required to obtain FDA approval and may
involve additional risks. Approval of our products by the FDA does not ensure approval by
regulatory authorities in foreign jurisdictions, and approval by one foreign regulatory authority
does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign jurisdictions or the FDA. We
may not obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all.
Other Risks Related to Our Business
If we lose or are unable to attract key management or other personnel, we may experience delays in
product development.
We are highly dependent on the services of our senior executive officers, particularly, Dr.
James Crapo, our CEO, and Dr. Charles Dinarello, our Chief Scientific Officer. Neither Dr. Crapo nor Dr. Dinarello works for us on a full-time basis. If either of them
decides to terminate his business relationship with us, this could delay the commercialization of
our products or prevent us from becoming profitable. Competition for qualified individuals is
intense among pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and the loss of qualified individuals, or
an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled individuals required for the
expansion of our activities, could hinder our ability to complete human studies successfully and
develop marketable products. Currently, we do not carry key-man life insurance policies on any of
our key personnel.
If the health care system or reimbursement policies change, the prices of our potential products
may be lower than expected and our potential sales may decline.
The levels of revenues and profitability of biopharmaceutical companies like ours may be
affected by the continuing efforts of government and third party payers to contain or reduce the
costs of health care through various means. For example, in certain foreign markets, pricing or
profitability of therapeutic and other pharmaceutical products is subject to governmental control.
In the U.S. there have been, and we expect that there will continue to be, a number of federal and
state proposals to implement similar governmental control. In March 2010, President Obama signed
into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In addition, in the U.S., a number of
proposals have been made to reduce the regulatory burden of follow-on biologics, which could affect
the prices and sales of our products in the future. While we cannot predict whether any legislative
or regulatory proposals will be adopted, the adoption of such proposals could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and profitability. In addition, in the U.S. and
elsewhere, sales of therapeutic and other pharmaceutical products depend in part on the
availability of reimbursement to the consumer from third party payers, such as government and
private insurance plans. Third party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged for
medical products and services. We cannot assure you that any of our products will be considered
cost effective or that reimbursement to the consumer will be available or will be sufficient to
allow us to sell our products on a competitive and profitable basis.
21
We may not be able to successfully compete against companies in our industry with greater resources
or otherwise.
The development and commercialization of new drugs is highly competitive. We face competition
with respect to our current product candidates and any products we may seek to develop or
commercialize in the future from major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies
and biotechnology companies worldwide. Our competitors may develop products that are more
effective, safer, more convenient or less costly than any that we are developing. Our competitors
may also obtain FDA or other regulatory approval for their products more rapidly than we may obtain
approval for ours.
There are approved products on the market for most of the diseases and indications for which
we are developing products. In many cases, these products have well known brand names, are
distributed by large pharmaceutical companies with substantial resources and have achieved
widespread acceptance among physicians and patients. In addition, we are aware of product
candidates of third parties that are in development, which, if approved, would compete against
product candidates for which we receive marketing approval.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in
research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining
regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than we do. Smaller or early stage companies
may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with
large and established companies. These third parties compete with us in recruiting and retaining
qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient
registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to or
necessary for our programs or advantageous to our business.
If we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce
accurate financial statements on a timely basis could be impaired, which would adversely affect our
operating results, financial condition and stock price.
Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in
place to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming
effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Our failure to maintain effective internal
financial and accounting controls would cause our financial reporting to be unreliable, could have
a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows,
and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. We had a material weakness in our
disclosure controls and procedures as of June, 30, 2009, September 30, 2009, December 31, 2009,
March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010 as a result of a restatement related to
accounting for share-based compensation and other equity-based instruments. As a result of this
material weakness, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined
that, as of the aforementioned periods, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal
controls over financial reporting were not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of the Companys financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external reporting in accordance with GAAP. Management has subsequently remediated the material
weakness and concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over
financial reporting were effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the
Companys financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting in
accordance with GAAP as of March 31, 2011.
The restatement of our financial statements and other reports filed with the SEC has subjected the
Company to additional costs and additional risks and uncertainties.
As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on October 25, 2010, we restated
our previously issued financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2010 and each of the
quarters ended June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009, December 31, 2009, and June 30, 2010. This
restatement subjected the Company to unanticipated costs in the form of accounting, legal and
filing fees, in addition to the substantial diversion of time and attention of the Companys Audit
Committee, its Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers in dealing with the
restatements. Although the restatements are complete, the Company can give no assurance that it
will not incur additional costs associated with the restatements. The restatements also may lead to
claims from shareholders and regulators, which may subject the Company to significant costs and
diversion of management time.
22
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Insiders control a significant portion of our common stock and their interests may differ from
those of other stockholders.
As of June 10, 2011, our executive officers and directors as a group beneficially own
approximately 20.35% of our outstanding common stock. The interests of these stockholders may not
always coincide with our interests as a company or the interests of other stockholders. The sale or
prospect of sale of a substantial number of the shares could have an adverse effect on the market
price of our common stock.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws could discourage acquisition proposals, delay a change in
control or prevent other transactions.
Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of the Colorado
Business Corporation Act, may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or
other transactions that you as a stockholder may consider favorable and may be in your best
interest. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that:
|
|
|
authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock
that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding
shares and discourage a takeover attempt; and |
|
|
|
limit who may call special meetings of stockholders. |
Our stock price is volatile.
From April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011, our common stock traded from $2.40 to $10.10 per share
on the OTCBB. The future market price of our common stock could continue to fluctuate widely
because of:
|
|
|
the minimal amount of public float in our common stock, which is significantly
affected by a limitation on trading a substantial amount of our shares as a result of
lock-up and leakage provisions that are in place until March 31, 2012; |
|
|
|
shares of our common stock are not eligible to be deposited in the Depository Trust
Company (DTC), and as a result, shares of our common stock must be traded using
physical delivery of all transacted shares. The inability to utilize an electronic
exchange such as DTC may restrict the timeliness of a shareholder to buy or sell shares
of our common stock. |
|
|
|
future announcements about our company or our competitors, including the results of
testing; technological innovations or new commercial products; |
|
|
|
negative regulatory actions with respect to our potential products or regulatory
approvals with respect to our competitors products; |
|
|
|
changes in government regulations; |
|
|
|
changes in general economic conditions and in the biotechnology industry; |
|
|
|
developments in our relationships with our partners; |
|
|
|
developments affecting our partners; |
|
|
|
announcements relating to health care reform and reimbursement levels for new drugs; |
|
|
|
our failure to acquire or maintain proprietary rights to the gene sequences we
discover or the products we develop; |
|
|
|
public concern as to the safety of our products. |
The stock market has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected
the market price for many emerging and biotechnology companies. These fluctuations have often been
unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may
cause the market price of our common stock to be lower or more volatile than otherwise expected.
23
We have the ability to issue additional equity securities, which would lead to dilution of our
issued and outstanding common stock.
The issuance of additional equity securities or securities convertible into or exercisable for
equity securities would result in dilution of then-existing stockholders equity interests in us.
We may issue shares to raise capital, as acquisition consideration, as employee incentives or
compensation, and for other corporate purposes. Our board of directors has the authority to issue,
without vote or action of stockholders, up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock. We may issue preferred stock in one or more series, and the board of
directors has the ability to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any such
series. Any such series of preferred stock could contain dividend rights, conversion rights,
voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences or other rights
superior to the rights of holders of our common stock.
The applicability of penny stock rules to broker-dealer sales of our common stock may have a
negative effect on the liquidity and market price of our common stock.
Trading in our shares is subject to the penny stock rules adopted pursuant to Rule 15g-9 of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which apply to companies that are not listed
on an exchange and whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or which have a tangible
net worth of less than $5,000,000 or $2,000,000 if they have been operating for three or more
years. The penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that
sell such securities to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited
investors. For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and have received the purchasers written consent to the
transaction prior to sale. Consequently, the penny stock rules will affect the ability of
broker-dealers to sell shares of our common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to
sell their shares in the secondary market, as compliance with such rules may delay and/or preclude
certain trading transactions. The rules could also have an adverse effect on the market price of
our common stock.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in
the secondary market for our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions
in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult
for stockholders to dispose of their shares. You may also find it difficult to obtain accurate
information about, and/or quotations as to the price of our common stock.
The lack of a broker or dealer to create or maintain a market in our stock could adversely impact
the price and liquidity of our securities.
We have no agreement with any broker or dealer to act as a market maker for our securities and
there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any market makers. The lack of a
market maker for our securities could adversely influence the market for and price of our
securities, as well as your ability to dispose of, or to obtain accurate information about, and/or
quotations as to the price of, our securities.
Future sales of our common stock may cause our stock price to decline.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market or the perception that
these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In addition,
the sale of these shares could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional
common or preferred stock or other securities.

ITEM 7. |

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
Overview
On March 31, 2009, Across America completed the acquisition of Apro Bio pursuant to the Merger. On
May 27, 2009 Across America changed its name to Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Omni).
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Apro Bio being treated as the acquirer
for accounting purposes. Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2009 presented in this report,
the financial statements of Apro Bio have been adopted as the historical financial statements of
Omni.
We are in pursuit of advancing existing and novel therapies that we believe have the potential to
move through clinical trials by shepherding them through the FDA approval processes and advancing
them through to commercialization. This core strategy is based on licensing issued and pending
patent applications that cover new uses for an existing FDA-approved drug, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin
(AAT), that has come off of its initial patents. AAT is currently prescribed for the treatment
of pulmonary emphysema among individuals with genetic deficiency of AAT. This indication is
unrelated to our licensed intellectual property. Any patents originally issued to other entities
claiming the composition of AAT have expired.
Omni is the licensee of three patent portfolios from the Regents of the University of Colorado
(RUC). These patent portfolios are comprised of three issued and 24 pending patent applications.
One license agreement with RUC relates to the treatment of diabetes, transplantation or graft
rejection and promotion of transplant or graft survival. Transplantation rejection includes
cellular and organ transplant rejection. One focus related to cellular transplantation is islet
cell transplantation for the treatment of some diabetics and the treatment of diabetes in general.
We have 15 pending patent applications under this license agreement.
A second license agreement relates to the treatment and/or prevention of bacterial disorders,
including bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis and biowarfare agents such as anthrax and includes the
licensing of one issued patent United States Patent No. 7,850,970, Titled: Inhibitors of Serine
Protease Activity, Methods and Compositions for Treatment of Bacterial Infections. This patent
expires on August 26, 2024 and covers the prevention of anthrax infection. Additionally, we have
five pending patent applications under this license agreement.
A third license agreement focuses on the treatment and/or prevention of viral disorders and
includes the licensing of two issued patents 1) United States Patent No. 6,849,605, Titled:
Inhibitors of Serine Protease Activity, Methods and Compositions for Treatment of Viral Infections.
This patent expires on March 3, 2020 and 2) United States Patent No. 7,807,781 Titled: Inhibitors
of Serine Protease Activity, Methods and Compositions for Treatment of Viral Infections. This
patent expires on January 28, 2025. Both of these patents cover the prevention of HIV.
Additionally, we have four pending patent applications under this license agreement.
In addition to the three licenses with RUC, we are a licensee to a pending patent held by Bio
Holding, LLC (Bio Holding), a private company, for the treatment of diabetes. Dr. Leland
Shapiro, our principal investigator for the University of Colorado Denver (UCD) on sponsored
research agreements that have been funded by us, is the majority shareholder of Bio Holding and
beneficially owns approximately 12% of our common stock as of March 31, 2011.
There are three primary companies that currently manufacture and sell their formulations of AAT
for the treatment of genetic deficiency and the treatment for a pulmonary disorder (brand name in
parenthesis): (i) Baxter International Inc. (Baxter) (Aralast NP TM), (ii) CSL
Behring USA (Zemaira®), and (iii) Talecris Biotherapeutics Corp. (Talecris) ( Prolastin
C®). The total estimated market for AAT in 2010 in the current AAT indications was
approximately $475 million according to Talecris, who has approximately 74% of the current market.
Our licensed technologies focus on alternative uses of these commercially available products.
To date, our business efforts have been largely dedicated in pursuing additional capital in order
to fund sponsored research Agreements (SRAs) related to the licenses with RUC and Bio Holding to
further research related to bacterial disorders, viral disorders, cellular transplantation/graft
rejection and diabetes-related disorders, and to fund a human clinical trial in Type 1 diabetes.
We intend to continue to outsource the normally capital intensive scientific research function to
academic research institutions such as UCD. This approach can provide us with a specific
scientific budget for funding each application, without the substantial cost of carrying-out basic
research internally. With this approach, we expect to be able to work with each projects lead
scientists, overseeing patent application projects and closely managing our corporate overhead.
This should allow most of our expenses to be concentrated on research and development efforts and
prosecuting the patent applications we have licensed.

Recent Developments
Private Placement
On June 10, 2011, we accepted subscription agreements related to the sale of Units in a private
placement (the 2011 Private Placement). Each Unit is comprised of one share of our common
stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock for a purchase price of $1.25 per
Unit. Each warrant in the Unit (the 2011 Private Placement Warrants) is exercisable at $2.00
until five years from the initial closing of the 2011 Private Placement. The maximum Units to be
sold in the 2011 Private Placement are 4,800,000 resulting in gross aggregate proceeds to the
Company of up to $6.0 million. The net proceeds of the 2011 Private Placement will be used for
general working capital purposes and research and development projects, which could include an equity investment of up to $2.0 million in a related party.
On June 10, 2011, we conducted the initial closing under the 2011 Private Placement, pursuant to
which we entered into subscription agreements for the purchase of 2,463,900 Units for an aggregate
subscription price of $3,079,875. After deducting offering expenses including commissions and
expenses paid to the placement agent, net proceeds to us from such sales totaled $2,799,745.
Certain of our officers and directors purchased an aggregate of 50,000 Units in the initial closing
of the 2011 Private Placement. The 2011 Private Placement is expected to close in multiple
closings on or before July 31, 2011.
On June 27, 2011, the Company conducted a second closing under the 2011 Private Placement, pursuant
to which the Company entered into subscription agreements for the purchase of 338,000 Units for an
aggregate subscription price of $422,500. After deducting offering expenses including commissions
and expenses paid to the placement agent, net proceeds to the Company from such sales totaled
approximately $384,000. Certain of our officers and directors purchased an aggregate of 50,000
Units in the second closing of the 2011 Private Placement.
GVC Capital served as the placement agent for the 2011 Private Placement and earned a commission of
9% of the gross proceeds raised. In addition, we were obligated to sell for a nominal fee to GVC
Capital, as the placement agent, warrants to purchase 9% of the total number of shares of our
common stock sold in the 2011 Private Placement, which are exercisable at a price of $1.50 per
share (the 2011 Private Placement PA Warrants). The 2011 Private Placement PA Warrants expire
five years from the date of the final closing of the 2011 Private Placement. A total of 252,171 of
2011 Private Placement PA Warrants were issued in conjunction with the two closings of the 2011
Private Placement.
Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trial
On June 7, 2010, Omni, RUC and The Barbara Davis Center (collectively with RUC, the
Institution) entered into an Investigational Site Agreement (the ISA), whereby the
Institution, acting on our behalf, agreed to arrange, administer and manage a clinical
study to evaluate Baxters AAT formulation, Aralast NPTM, in the treatment of
patients with Type 1 diabetes (the Diabetes Clinical Trial). The Diabetes Clinical Trial
currently includes 15 patients and is being conducted pursuant to an Investigational New
Drug Application (the IND) granted to Omni by the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). The IND allows for the Diabetes Clinical Trial to include up to 50
patients. Base costs, which include the enrollment fee and other incidental charges for
the 15 patients will be approximately $585,000. Any increase in the patient size of the
Diabetes Clinical Trial would require Omni to raise additional capital. To date, we have
expended approximately $365,000 in cash related to the Diabetes Clinical Trial.
In March 2010, Omni and Baxter Healthcare Corporation, a subsidiary of Baxter, (Baxter
Healthcare) executed a Material Transfer Agreement (the Material Transfer Agreement) whereby
Baxter Healthcare agreed to supply, at no cost, 1.25 kg of Aralast NPTM, with a
commercial value of $420,000 (the Materials), to Omni for use in the Diabetes Clinical Trial as
described above. Omni warrants that the Diabetes Clinical Trial will be conducted under either a
waiver to an IND or an IND filed with the FDA. Under the Material Transfer Agreement, we are
responsible to maintain the IND and comply with all reporting and other obligations associated with
the IND. The Material Transfer Agreement will terminate upon completion of the Diabetes Clinical
Trial unless Omni and Baxter mutually agree in writing to extend its term. The Material Transfer
Agreement may be terminated by either party (i) upon a material breach of the Material Transfer
Agreement, or (2) in the event of an Adverse Event (as defined in the Material Transfer Agreement)
that warrants termination of the Diabetes Clinical Trial. In addition, we are required to prepare
for Baxter a summary of the information and results generated as of certain milestones during the
two-year period of the Diabetes Clinical Trial.
29
License and Sponsored Research Agreements
Bacterial Disorders License
On May 15, 2006, we entered into our first exclusive license agreement with RUC covering patent
applications directed to treatment and/or prevention of bacterial disorders (the Bacterial
License). Some of these disorders include disorders due to anthrax, tuberculosis and bacterial
pneumonia. Concurrently, we entered into a three year SRA with RUC on behalf of UCD for research
to advance the bacterial disorders license agreement (the Bacterial SRA). Under the Bacterial
SRA, we made payments aggregating $1,097,460 and we have no further obligations under this SRA. We
are continuing to pursue patent rights directed to targeting bacterial disorders with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) as well as international patent offices, which include
Japan, Canada and Europe.
Viral Disorders License
On March 31, 2008, we entered into a license agreement with RUC covering patent applications and an
issued patent directed to treatment and/or prevention of viral disorders (the Viral License).
Some of these disorders include, but are not limited to, HIV and influenza. We are currently
pursuing expanded patent rights based on our licensed technology directed to treating viral-related
disorders with the USPTO.
On August 18, 2010, we entered into an SRA with RUC whereby UCD will perform studies in vitro and
in vivo to determine the biological activity of AAT as an inhibitor of influenza (the Viral
SRA). The Viral SRA was executed pursuant to the Viral License. We are obligated to make
quarterly payments to UCD, which total approximately $440,000 over a two-year period. All rights
to intellectual property developed in connection with the Viral SRA (the Viral Intellectual
Property) will belong to RUC, and RUC will have the right to obtain patent protections on the
Viral Intellectual Property. In accordance with the terms of the Viral SRA, UCD granted to us an
option to acquire an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license of any of the Viral Intellectual
Property, subject to certain conditions and exceptions. To date, we have made payments in the
amount of approximately $110,000 under this SRA.
On June 8, 2011, we gave written notice to RUC terminating the Viral SRA. The termination of the
Viral SRA will be effective 45 days from the date of written notification, unless an earlier termination date is negotiated with
RUC. Unless otherwise negotiated with RUC, we must reimburse UCD for the total actual and
reasonable costs it has incurred by it under the Viral SRA through the date of termination,
including those costs necessary to implement the early termination of the Viral SRA and costs
incurred by UCD as a result of non-cancelable obligations, which may extend beyond the date of such
termination. In addition, certain indemnification obligations and intellectual property rights
will survive the termination of the Viral SRA. The termination of the Viral SRA does not impact the
continuance of the Viral License or licensing of the intellectual property and patents (both issued
and pending).
Cellular Transplant License
On November 12, 2008, we entered into a license agreement with RUC for technology related to the
treatment of cellular transplantation and graft rejection, diabetes and other indications (the
Cellular Transplant License). We are currently pursuing expanded patent rights based on our
licensed technology directed to treating cellular transplantation and graft rejection disorders
with the USPTO and international patent offices, which include Canada and Europe.
30
Bio Holding License
On September 28, 2009, we entered into a license agreement with Bio Holding for patent applications
related to the treatment of diabetes (the Diabetes License). In addition, the Diabetes License
grants us a first refusal to license any other intellectual property owned by Bio Holding that is
not part of the Diabetes License.
In consideration for the Diabetes License, we were obligated to pay Bio Holding of $25,000. As
additional consideration, we issued to a minority shareholder of Bio Holding a warrant (the Bio
Holding Warrant) to purchase 650,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share. The Bio Holding Warrant expires on September 28, 2014 and contains a cashless exercise
provision. The Bio Holding Warrant was subject to the execution of a subscription and lock-up
agreement by the minority shareholder that restricts the sale or transfer of the underlying shares
until March 31, 2012. We estimated the fair value of the Bio Holding Warrant on the issuance date
at $5,590,980, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The total value ascribed to the
Bio Holding License was $5,615,980.
On September 3, 2010 and pursuant to the Diabetes License, Omni and RUC executed an SRA (the
Diabetes SRA), whereby UCD will study the effects of AAT on cytokine production by human
pancreatic islet cells and the ability of AAT to protect these cells from induced toxicity (the
Project). The Diabetes SRA will terminate on the earlier of the completion of the Project or
February 28, 2012, unless extended or renewed in writing by either Omni or UCD or otherwise
terminated prior to February 28, 2012 in accordance with the terms of the Diabetes SRA. We are
obligated to make payments to UCD of $88,000 over a one-year period commencing in September 2010,
and to date, we have made payments in the amount of approximately $58,000 under this SRA.

The license agreements expire upon the expiration date of the last patent covered by the agreement
and may also be terminated by either party in the event of a default by the other party.
Possible Future Clinical Trials Through Strategic Partnerships
In February 2011, we announced that we had obtained letters of intent for conducting future
clinical trials as follows: (1) treatment of GVHD in bone marrow transplant patients; (2) two
separate human clinical trials for the treatment of transplant rejection in kidney transplant
recipients; (3) the initiation of a late stage Type 1 diabetes trial; and (4) the initiation of a
trial in Type 2 diabetics that are not responding to currently available forms of therapy and are
at risk of severe cardiovascular complications. We believe that advancing clinical trials in these
indications could provide additional commercial opportunities where our intellectual property
position is currently the strongest. As a first step, we will need to create a partnership, most
likely with an existing AAT Manufacturer, and with that partnership discuss the commercial
viability of these indications. Based on their assessment of their current and future AAT
production capabilities, their current and potential new AAT markets and the strength and
commercial application of our intellectual property in these indications, we would hope to form a
strategic partnership with one or more of them. We would position such a partnership(s) to supply
AAT product free of charge and to fund the non-drug clinical trial costs. Subject to available
financing, we would likely first commence a GVHD clinical trial.
Significant Trends, Uncertainties and Challenges
We believe that the significant trends, uncertainties and challenges that directly or indirectly
affect our financial performance and results of operations include, but are not limited to:
|
|
|
Our ability to raise sufficient capital to fund our operations and future clinical
trials; |
|
|
|
The continued expected growth in the biopharmaceutical sector; |
|
|
|
Our ability to license key intellectual property and protect our current intellectual
property relating to our development of therapies; |
|
|
|
Our ability to fund and enter into SRAs and clinical trials necessary for our
development of therapies; |
|
|
|
Our ability to devote our resources to therapies that are the most likely to result in
commercialization; |
|
|
|
Our ability to shepherd potential therapies through the FDA approval process; |
|
|
|
Our ability to compete against companies in our industry with greater resources; and |
|
|
|
Our ability to partner with an existing AAT Manufacturer. |
Results of Operations Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
2010
The following discussion relates to Omnis operations for the year ended March 31, 2011 (Fiscal
year 2011) as compared to the year ended March 31, 2010 (Fiscal year 2010).
Net loss For Fiscal year 2011, we reported a net loss of $8,225,477 as compared to a net loss of
$15,478,874 for Fiscal year 2010, a decrease of $7,253,397. This decrease was primarily
attributable to a non-cash charge of $5,615,980 related to a license fee and a non-cash charge of
$2,479,000 related to a modification of a warrant recorded in Fiscal year 2010. These variances
are further discussed below.
32
General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses for Fiscal year 2011 were
$7,649,818, and included $6,466,435 of share-based compensation, as compared to $7,375,732 in
Fiscal year 2011, which included $6,395,302 of share-based compensation. As we have disclosed in
prior filings, management views general and administrative expenses exclusive of share-based
compensation as an important non-GAAP measure, as we are in development stage, have not recorded
any revenue since inception and closely monitor operating expenses to manage and control cash.
Accordingly, excluding share-based compensation, general and administrative expenses for Fiscal
year 2011 were $1,183,383 as compared to $980,430 for Fiscal year 2010, an increase of $202,953 or
approximately 21%. This increase was primarily due to higher expenses in the following categories:
1) office rent and investor relations, which increased approximately $85,000 (both of which
commenced in the three months ended March 31, 2010); 2) business insurance, which increased
approximately $81,000 as a result of higher director and officer insurance premiums; 3)
approximately $53,000 of expenses incurred for a pilot study in biohazard treatments, which
commenced in March 2010; and 4) officer salaries of approximately $57,000 as a result of part-time
CEO compensation commencing in May 2010, and higher CFO compensation as a result of the position
becoming a full-time position in January 2010. Legal expenses related to SEC compliance, capital
raising and intellectual property protection for Fiscal year 2011 decreased approximately $87,000
from Fiscal year 2010.
Research
and development For Fiscal year 2011, we incurred approximately $578,000 of research and
development expense related to: 1) the Clinical Trial, as a result of the commencement of patient
infusions in October 2010; and 2) the Viral and Diabetes SRAs. For Fiscal year 2010, we had no
research and development expense.
License fee related party During Fiscal year 2010, we executed the Diabetes License. The
total value ascribed to the license agreement was $5,615,980, which was expensed during Fiscal year
2010. The license fee was comprised of a cash payment of $25,000 and a warrant to purchase 650,000
shares of our common stock, which was valued using the Black-Scholes model in the amount of
$5,590,980.
Non-operating income (expense) For Fiscal year 2011, non-operating income, net of non-operating
expense, was $1,854 and was comprised of interest income of $4,854 and accretion expense of $3,000
on a note with a related party. For Fiscal year 2010, non-operating expense, net of non-operating
income, was $2,487,162 and was comprised of a non-cash charge of $2,479,000 related to a common
stock warrant modification, interest income of $3,838 and accretion expense of $12,000 on a note
with a related party.
Results of Operations Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
2009
The following discussion relates to Omnis operations for Fiscal year 2010) as compared to the year
ended March 31, 2009 (Fiscal year 2009).
Net loss For Fiscal year 2010, we reported a net loss of $15,478,884 as compared to a net loss
$4,544,521 for Fiscal year 2009, an increase of $10,934,363. We have not reported any revenue
since inception and it is highly likely that we will not recognize any revenue in the near term.
General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses for Fiscal year 2010 were
$7,375,742, which included $6,395,302 of share-based compensation, as compared to $1,031,911 for
Fiscal year 2009, which included $740,251 of share-based compensation. Management views general
and administrative expenses, exclusive of share-based compensation, as an important non-GAAP
measure, as we are in development stage, have not recorded any revenue since inception and closely
monitor operating expenses to manage and control cash. Management also believes this measure is
helpful to investors so they can better understand our cash expenditures. Accordingly, excluding
share-based compensation, general and administrative expenses for Fiscal year 2010 were $980,440 as
compared to $291,660 for Fiscal year 2009, an increase of $688,780 or approximately 236%. This
increase was primarily due to public company reporting and administrative related expenses in the
areas of external audit and reporting, legal, stock administration, investor relations and
insurance that were incurred in Fiscal year 2010 and not incurred for Fiscal year 2009, as we were
not an SEC reporting company until March 31, 2009. Also in Fiscal year 2010, we had significant
increases in legal expenses associated with patents related to our licensing arrangements and
consulting and scientific advisory expenses as compared to Fiscal year 2009.
Other operating expense In Fiscal year 2010, we executed the License Agreement with Bio Holding,
a related party, whose majority shareholder is a significant shareholder of Omni. We paid a
license fee of $25,000 and issued to the minority shareholder of Bio Holding a warrant to purchase
650,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00. The value of the warrant was
calculated at $5,590,980 using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and this amount was recorded as a
non-cash operating expense for Fiscal year 2010. For Fiscal year 2009, we incurred non-cash
operating expenses in the amount of $719,772 associated with issuances of shares of our common
stock to the University License Equity Holdings, Inc., a beneficiary of RUC, that were required
under anti-dilution provisions associated with our licenses for viral disease treatment and
cellular transplantation/graft rejection.
33
Research and development Research and development expenses for Fiscal year 2010 were $-0- as
compared to $241,300 in Fiscal year 2009. The decrease was attributable to not having any SRAs in
place for Fiscal year 2010.
Other non-operating expenses For Fiscal year 2010, we recognized accretion expense on notes
payable with related parties of $12,000 as compared to $41,125 for Fiscal year 2009. The decrease
was primarily the result of the conversion of one of the notes in conjunction with a private
placement equity offering (the PP Offering) that was completed on March 31, 2009. All
unamortized discount on this note was expensed upon the conversion of the note on March 31, 2009.
For Fiscal year 2009, we recorded non-cash charges for the issuances of common stock purchase
warrants issuances to investors and related parties of $2,354,587 as compared to $-0- for Fiscal
year 2010. The decrease was a result of the warrant issuances to outside investors and related
parties in conjunction with the Merger and the PP Offering that were completed on March 31, 2009.
In Fiscal year 2010, we recorded a charge in the amount of $2,479,000 for a modification of an
investor warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock. This warrant was revalued on the
modification date at an estimated fair value of $10.91 per share. In Fiscal year 2009 and prior to
becoming a reporting company, we recorded a charge in the amount of $152,686 for modifications of
investor warrants to purchase approximately 788,000 shares of common stock. These warrants were
revalued on the modification dates at a weighted-average estimated fair value of $0.20 per share.
Interest
income/expense net For Fiscal year 2010, we recorded net interest income of $3,838 as
compared to net interest expense of $6,140 for Fiscal year 2009. The net increase in interest
income for Fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to interest earned on an interest-bearing cash
account as a result of our private placement equity offering that generated approximately $1.8
million and occurred during December 2009 and January 2010 (the 2010 Private Placement).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our consolidated financial statements as presented in Item 15 of this report have been prepared in
conformity with US GAAP, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. However, the
report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial
statements, as of and for the year ended March 31, 2011, contains an explanatory paragraph
expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The going concern
qualification results from, among other things, our development-stage status, no revenue recognized
since inception or likely to be recognized in the near term, and our inception to date net losses,
which total approximately $31.2 million and include non-cash charges of approximately $25.8
million. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.
We expect that the cash raised in the 2011 Private Placement will allow us to fund our operations
for approximately the next twelve months based on current operating levels, however, we will likely
need to engage in additional capital raising to operate beyond that period. There is no assurance
that we will be successful in raising additional capital on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to
obtain additional capital may have a material adverse impact on our ability to continue our
research and development efforts and fund our operating expenses beyond June 30, 2012.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all liquid investments purchased within 90 days of their original maturity to be cash
equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents were $302,000 and $1.8 million at March 31, 2011 and
2010, respectively.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For Fiscal year 2011, net cash used in operations was 1,722,739. The primary uses of cash from
operations were general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation, which
totaled $1,183,383 and research and development expense of $577,513. For Fiscal year 2010, net
cash used in operations was $1,793,869. The primary uses of cash from operations were general and
administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation, which totaled $980,040 and a reduction
in accounts payable, amounts due under the Bacterial SRA, accrued liabilities and amounts due to
related parties, which totaled approximately $814,000. The significant decrease in these
liabilities was a result of a significant pay-down on these liabilities during the first quarter of
Fiscal year 2010, which had largely been incurred during the first nine months of Fiscal year 2009
because we had negligible cash on hand during Fiscal year 2009 to settle liabilities on reasonable
and, as applicable, contractual payment terms.
34
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For fiscal years 2011 and 2010, we did not generate or expend cash from investing activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For fiscal year 2011, we generated approximately $222,000 of cash related to the exercise of common
stock purchase warrants from investors. For fiscal year 2010, we generated $1,790,840 of cash from
financing activities, of which $1,786,890 was generated from the 2010 Private Placement.
Anticipated Cash Commitments
During the remainder of 2011, we may expand the patient size of the Clinical Trial and potentially
fund an additional clinical trial, both subject to raising additional equity or debt capital or
developing a strategic partnership.
Contractual Obligations
Our cash payments due under contractual obligations as of March 31, 2011 were as follows:

payments may be reduced. |
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. Our significant accounting
policies are disclosed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements contained under Item 15
in this report. The accounting policies most fundamental to the understanding of our financial
statements are our use of estimates, including the computation of share-based compensation which is
further disclosed in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements; research and development
cost; capitalization of license agreements and impairment analysis of the capitalized license
costs; and the valuation, classification and recording of debt and equity transactions, including
those that include stock purchase warrants.
Share-based Compensation
A significant amount of our general and administrative expenses for the years ended March 31, 2011,
2010 and 2009 is comprised of share-based compensation in the amounts of $6,466,435, $6,395,302 and
$740,251, respectively, related to warrants to purchase shares of our common stock issued to
employees, consultants and directors. We have computed the share-based compensation charges using
the Black-Scholes pricing model, which incorporates estimates as to the expected term that a
warrant holder will hold a warrant and the expected volatility of a companys stock price over a
specified term.
35
For fiscal year 2010, we recorded significant charges in the amount of $8,069,980 for warrants
issued as a partial payment for a licensing fee with a related party and for a modification of an
outside investor warrant. We calculated the estimated values of these warrants using the
Black-Scholes model and assessed the appropriateness of the variables employed in the model,
including an appropriate discount to the closing OTC price of our common stock as the result of
contractual restrictions on the sale of shares of our common stock underlying these warrants. We
are likely to issue more equity instruments, which may be in the forms of common stock with
detachable warrants, convertible debt with detachable warrants or convertible preferred with
detachable warrants. These potential types of transactions require extensive analysis to determine
the proper asset, liability and/or equity classification and the application of estimates in
deriving values to be assigned under the Black-Scholes model. Future issuances of these
transactions may result in significant expenses being recorded in our consolidated financial
statements.
Research and Development Costs
A significant amount of our operating expenses is comprised of costs incurred under SRAs and the
Diabetes Clinical Trial, which we group as research and development costs. For Fiscal year 2011,
we expensed approximately $578,000 related to research and development activities. Under current
GAAP, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The accounting for costs
incurred for clinical trials is not specifically identified under current GAAP, but we believe that
our policy of expensing all specifically identifiable costs for the Diabetes Clinical Trial upon
patient infusions is consistent with the principles surrounding accounting for research and
development costs and current practice for accounting for clinical drug trials. During Fiscal year
2011, eight patients were infused, and all identifiable costs related to these patients were
expensed during this year.
Capitalized License Costs
Since inception, we have capitalized approximately $80,000 related to direct costs incurred to
establish our ability to license potential future patents in the bio pharmaceutical areas that are
associated with our licenses. We commence amortization of these costs when a patent is applied for
and continue the amortization over the expected life of the patent. The assignment of an estimated
life to a license is also an estimate that we must monitor as well as the net carrying value of the
license. Because we are in development stage and have not generated any revenue or identified
which of the licenses may potentially generate revenue, a formal impairment analysis is not
practical at this time. We will continue to monitor our license agreements as to the
appropriateness of definite lives in relation to patent development and formalize our potential
impairment analysis as we correlate evidence as to the potential marketability of product(s)
related to our license agreements.

|
|
ITEM 7A. |
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
As of March 31, 2011, approximately 75% of our total assets were comprised of cash and cash
equivalents, which were held in operating and short-term, interest-bearing money market accounts.
Additionally, as of March 31, 2011, we did not have any outstanding debt obligations or any credit
facilities in place. As we are a development stage company and have not reported any revenue from
inception, we currently utilize 100% of our cash and cash equivalents on hand to fund general
operating expenses and research and development activities. We do not anticipate investing any
cash or cash equivalents in any marketable equity or debt securities in the foreseeable future and,
as such, we are not subject to interest rate risk associated with debt securities or debt
obligations or market risk associated with equity securities investments.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2011, and concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of that date.
37
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our
internal controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of its
financial reporting and the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control
Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting. As of March 31, 2011, management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of such date.
Hein & Associates LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation
report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
38
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc.
We have audited Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Omni Bio Pharmaceutical,
Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. and
our report dated June 29, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Director |
The directors named above serve for one-year terms until our next annual meeting of stockholder or
their earlier resignation or removal. Information concerning our directors and our executive
officers is set forth below:
James D. Crapo, MD has served as our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors
since March 2011, and he also has served on our Scientific Advisory Board since March 2009. Since
1996, Dr. Crapo has been a Professor at National Jewish Medical and Research Center (NJH), where
he served as Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs and Chairman of Medicine from 1996 to
2004. NJH is a private institution specializing in immunology and allergic diseases. From July 2004
to December 2004, Dr. Crapo served as Chief Executive Officer of Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a
developer of a new class of catalytic anti-oxidant compounds that protects healthy tissue from the
damaging effects of radiation. He was the first scientist to extend Dr. Fridovichs and Dr. Joe

mammalian models of disease.
Prior to joining NJH, Dr. Crapo spent over 15 years as the Chief of the Pulmonary and Critical Care
Medicine Division at Duke University Medical Center. He is involved in a number of professional
societies, including service on the NHLBI Advisory Council and serving as President of the American
Thoracic Society and President of the Fleischner Society. He currently serves on the board of
directors and as the chairman of the audit committee of Lifevantage Corporation (LFVN.OB), a maker
of science-based solutions to oxidative stress. From 2007 to 2009, he served as the chairman of
the board of directors of Lifevantage Corporation. We believe that Dr. Crapos prior and current
director positions with public companies and his scientific and business executive expertise give
him the qualifications and skills to serve as a director.
Robert C. Ogden has served as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary since May 2009.
From 2007 to 2009, Mr. Ogden was a financial consultant, primarily providing services to public
companies, including Fortune 500 and micro-cap entities. From May 2004 to June 2007, Mr. Ogden
served as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of SAN Holdings, Inc., a publicly-traded
data storage solutions provider and software company, where he was responsible for all
administrative and finance functions. In November 2007, SAN Holdings, Inc. filed a voluntary
petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. From 2000 to May 2004, he was a
multi-industry financial consultant providing financial controller and reporting services to both
private and public companies. His prior experience includes financial executive positions with two

is a Scientific Advisory Board member of Senesco Technologies, Inc., Source MDx, Inc., GlobeImmune,

business expertise, including her background as the chairperson of the Board of Directors of
another company, give her the qualifications and skills to serve as a director and as the
Chairperson of our Board of Directors.

Dr. Iseman received his undergraduate degree with honors from Princeton University and his MD from

and business expertise, including his background as a former director of another company, give him
the qualifications and skills to serve as a director.

advisor and consultant on fund raising for more than 15 small-cap, biotechnology companies. Mr.

including his background as a director for several public companies, give him the qualifications
and skills to serve as a director.
Jeffrey S. Sperber has served as a member of our Board of Directors since October 2009 and
currently serves as the Chairman of our Audit Committee. Since October 2010, he has served as the

the qualifications and skills to serve as a director and as the Chairman of our Audit Committee.
Compliance With Section 16(a) Of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, directors and holders
of more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership of our securities and changes in
ownership with the SEC. Based solely on a review of the Section 16(a) reports furnished to us
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we believe that all filings required to be made during
fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.
Code of Ethics
We have a Code of Ethics applicable to all of our officers, other employees and directors. Among
other things, the Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical
conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between
personal and professional relationships; to promote full, fair, accurate, timely, and
understandable disclosures in periodic reports required to be filed by us; and to promote
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Code of Ethics provides
for the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to an appropriate person
identified in the Code of Ethics and contains provisions regarding accountability for adherence to
the Code of Ethics. A copy of our Code of Ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.
Audit Committee
We have a separately-designated standing audit committee comprised of two members, Jeffrey Sperber
(Chairman) and Vicki Barone. The Board of Directors has determined that Jeffrey Sperber is an
independent director in accordance with SEC rules. The Audit Committee has sole authority to
retain, compensate, terminate, oversee and evaluate the independent auditors, and reviews and
approves in advance all audit and non-audit services (other than prohibited non-audit services)
performed by the independent auditors. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with
management and the independent auditors the audited financial statements included in our filings
with the SEC; oversees our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and meets separately
with the independent auditors as often as deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. In
this regard, the Audit Committee also reviews major issues regarding accounting principles and
financial statement presentation, and periodically discusses with management our major financial
risk exposures and the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures.
The Board of Directors has determined that Jeffrey Sperber is an audit committee financial expert
as such term is defined in applicable SEC regulations.

ITEM 11. |

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
General Philosophy and Objectives
Our success depends on the expertise, talent, experience and long-term commitment of our
executive management. Currently, we do not have a Compensation Committee. Our Chairperson, with
consultation from our Board, has determined base salaries and equity-based compensation for our
executive officers. Overall, our compensation practices and programs are intended to achieve the
following objectives:
|
|
|
To attract, retain, motivate and reward key employees to drive the successful
implementation of our current and long-term strategic, business and financial goals; |
|
|
|
To align the financial interests of our executives with those of our
shareholders; |
|
|
|
To establish appropriate incentives for management and employees that are
consistent with our culture and values; and |
|
|
|
To provide an annual compensation program with a high emphasis on long-term
equity-based compensation. |
To accomplish these objectives, we use a combination of base salary and equity-based
compensation, which has been in the form of common stock purchase warrants and restricted stock
units. We believe this creates an environment that allows us to achieve our objectives and
maximize value for our shareholders. Currently, we do not have a shareholder approved equity
compensation plan.
As we are in development-stage, conversation of cash is a primary management objective, and
accordingly, cash compensation has only been in the form of base salary. We believe that our
officers are strongly motivated and dedicated to the growth in stockholder value of the Company.
Further, we believe that our salaried officers are receiving salary compensation in the lower range
relative to comparable positions with other similar size and industry type companies, but that
their performance incentives are heavily based on their personal shareholding and/or incentive
equity-based compensation.
Salaries
Salaries paid to our other executive officers are determined by evaluating the responsibilities of
the position held and the experience of the individual, and by reference to the competitive
marketplace for executive talent. Due to our limited cash, salary levels are below the industry
average and we did not pay any cash bonuses in Fiscal year 2011.
Equity Incentive Compensation
The use of equity-based compensation is intended to align the interests of the executives and other
key employees with those of the stockholders. Equity-based compensation also serves to increase
management ownership in the Company, provides a level of deferred compensation, aids in employee
retention and conserves cash. In the near term, we believe that equity compensation is the best
means to motivate our executive officers to perform at a high level and in the best interest of our
shareholders.
43
Equity-based compensation for our executive officers is based primarily on three factors: (1) an
evaluation of the responsibilities of the executive officers position; (2) the competitive
marketplace for executive talent; and (3) executive compensation of similar size and industry type
companies. During Fiscal year 2011, our Board of Directors granted restricted stock units
(RSUs) to our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). In
determining the number of RSUs to grant to these individuals, the Board of Directors considered
each individuals position, the number of shares of common stock and common stock purchase warrants
outstanding, their base salaries and the equity ownership of our other executive officers and
directors. Both the CEO and CSO received grants of RSUs when they commenced service in their
current positions with us. These grants vest over three years assuming continuous service with us.
The Board of Directors may consider additional grants of RSUs to these individuals and the other
executive officers commensurate with any additional equity capital that we may raise.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code disallows
a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation of more than $1.0
million in any taxable year to any named executive officers, other than compensation that is
performance-based under a plan that is approved by shareholders and that meets certain other
technical requirements. The Boards policy with respect to Section 162(m) is to make every
reasonable effort to ensure that compensation is deductible to the extent permitted while
simultaneously providing our executives with appropriate rewards for their performance. In the
appropriate circumstances, however, the Board is prepared to exceed the limit on deductibility
under Section 162(m) to the extent necessary to ensure our executive officers are compensated in a
manner consistent with our best interests and those of our shareholders.
Accounting. Under US GAAP, we are required to recognize an expense for the fair value of
equity-based compensation awards. The Board regularly considers the accounting implications of
significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to equity
compensation awards. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to
appropriately align accounting expenses of our equity awards with our overall executive
compensation philosophy and objectives.
Compensation Committee Report
The Board of Directors has reviewed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by
Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with the
Companys management. Based on such review and discussions with management, the Board of Directors
has determined that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. & Subsidiary
Greenwood Village, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. and
Subsidiary (a development stage company) as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended
March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from February 28, 2006 (inception) to March 31,
2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. The cumulative statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the
period February 28, 2006 (inception) to March 31, 2010 include amounts for the period from February
28, 2006 (inception) to March 31, 2008, which were audited by other auditors, and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the period February 28, 2006 through March 31,
2008, is based solely on the report of other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Subsidiary (a development stage company) as of March 31, 2011 and
2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended
March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and for the period February 28, 2006 (inception) to March 31, 2011,
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Subsidiarys internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission, and our report dated June 29, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Subsidiarys internal control over financial
reporting as of March 31, 20111 based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders:
Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. & Subsidiary
(formerly Apro Bio Pharmaceutical Corporation)
Greenwood Village, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. &
Subsidiary (formerly Apro Bio Pharmaceutical Corporation) (A Development Stage Company) as of March
31, 2008 (not separately included herein) and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders deficit, and cash flows for the period from February 28, 2006 (inception) through
March 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits 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 audit 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 Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 consolidated financial position of Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. &
Subsidiary (formerly Apro Bio Pharmaceutical Corporation) as of March 31, 2008 and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from February 28, 2006 (inception)
through March 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as
a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

OMNI BIO PHARMACEUTICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN
Organization
Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. is the successor company of Across America Financial Services, Inc.
(Across America) and was incorporated under Colorado law on December 1, 2005 as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Across America Real Estate Corp.
On March 31, 2009, Across America completed the acquisition of Apro Bio Pharmaceutical Corporation
(Apro Bio) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, as
amended (the Merger) among Across America, Apro Bio and Across America Acquisition Corp.
(AAAC), a Colorado corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Across America. Under the terms
of the Merger, AAAC was merged into Apro Bio and Apro Bio became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Across America. On May 27, 2009, Across America changed its name to Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc.
(Omni). The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Apro Bio being treated as the
acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, for all periods presented, the financial statements
of Apro Bio have been adopted as the historical financial statements of Omni.
On March 31, 2008, Apro Bio was formed from the merger of Apro Bio Pharmaceutical Corporation
(Apro Utah) and Maxcure Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Maxcure), with Maxcure being the surviving legal
corporation and Apro Bio the deemed acquirer for accounting purposes. The name of the merged
entity was changed to Apro Bio Pharmaceutical Corporation (Apro Bio).
Apro Utah was formed as a Utah corporation on February 28, 2006 for the purpose of advancing the
underlying licensed scientific art to attain the ability to sell treatments and/or countermeasures
commercially to the federal government related to bacterial infections. Maxcure was formed as a
Colorado corporation on December 26, 2006 for the purpose of entering into a license agreement with
the University of Colorado Denver (UCD) and to pursue a research agreement with UCD to further
scientific study on a previously FDA-approved pharmaceuticals method of action on various forms of
viral illness.
Nature of Operations
Except as the context otherwise requires, the terms Company, we, our or us means Omni Bio
Pharmaceutical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Omni Bio Operating, Inc.
We are the licensee of applications and patents related to novel compositions of matter and methods
of use for an existing FDA approved drug, Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT). We are currently focusing
on four areas: diabetes, bacterial disorders, viral disorders and complications due to graft
rejections. We are the licensee of three patent portfolios from UCD, which are comprised of three
issued and 24 pending patent applications. In addition, we have received two notices of allowance
related to filed patent applications.
To date, our business efforts have been largely dedicated to pursuing additional capital to fund
Sponsored Research Agreements (SRAs) to further our licenses regarding diabetes, bacterial
disorders viral disorders and cellular transplantation/graft rejection and to fund clinical trials
in these indications as deemed appropriate. Since inception, we have not generated any revenues
from our operations.

OMNI BIO PHARMACEUTICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which contemplate our continuation
as a going concern, whereby the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are in the
ordinary course of business. We are currently in the development stage as we have not realized any
revenue since inception. Activities have included: raising capital; reorganization and mergers; and
obtaining various intellectual property rights, a research and development agreement and a clinical
trial agreement to Type 1 diabetes. We have incurred net losses since inception, and as of March
31, 2011, had an accumulated deficit of $31.2 million, which included total non-cash charges from
inception of approximately $25.8 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be different should we be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Recent Financing
In June 2011, we completed two closing of a private placement equity offering (the 2011 Private
Placement) and raised approximately $3.2 million in net cash proceeds. See further discussion and
disclosures in Note 8. We expect that the cash raised in the 2011 Private Placement will allow us
to fund our operations for approximately the next twelve months based on current operating levels,
however, we will likely need to engage in additional capital raising to operate beyond that period.
There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital on acceptable terms
or at all. Failure to obtain additional capital may have a material adverse impact on our ability
to continue our research and development efforts and fund our operating expenses beyond June 30,
2012.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omni and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Omni Bio Operating, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal year 2010 and inception to date consolidated
financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2011 presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the
date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Periodically, we maintain deposits in financial
institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
We have not recognized any revenue since inception and had no accounts receivable balances as of
March 31, 2011 or 2010.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Based on our review, we do not believe that any impairment of
long-lived assets existed at March 31, 2011 or 2010.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development
activities to date are comprised of expenses incurred related to a clinical trial in Type 1
diabetes (the Diabetes Clinical Trial), SRAs with UCD and a research services contract with
Colorado State University. Costs associated with the Diabetes Clinical Trial have been expensed at
the time a patient commences treatment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of our financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities at March 31, 2011 and 2010 approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature
of these financial instruments.
Use of Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of
these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period presented. In addition to common shares outstanding, any shares
issuable for little or no cash consideration are considered outstanding shares as of the beginning
of a reporting period and are included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common
shares. Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2010, the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding as of the beginning of the year included 200,000 and 1,950,000 shares issuable
under outstanding common stock purchase warrants (warrants) that were immediately exercisable at
$0.01 and $0.001, respectively.
F-17
OMNI BIO PHARMACEUTICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion
of all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the
calculation when their effect would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented in the
consolidated financial statements, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the
diluted share calculations as they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net losses incurred for
the respective periods. Accordingly, basic shares equal diluted shares for all periods presented.
Potentially dilutive securities were comprised of the following:

Share-based Compensation
We recognize equity-based payments to employees in the financial statements based on the estimated
fair value of the award on the grant date and recognize share-based compensation expense over the
period during that an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (generally
the vesting period). We estimate the fair value of each stock option or stock purchase warrant at
the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 7 for additional
disclosures.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the
period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is required to the extent that it is
more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
US GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax
return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be
sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. We had no unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain
tax positions at March 31, 2011 or 2010.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all of the FASBs Accounting Standard Updates through the filing date of this
report and we do not expect that any will have a material impact on our future consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE 3 FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Private Placement December 2009 and January 2010
In December 2009 and January 2010, we accepted subscription agreements related to the sale of Units
in a private placement transaction (the 2010 Private Placement). Each 2010 Private Placement
Unit was comprised of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our
common stock for a purchase price of $2.50 per 2010 Private Placement Unit (the 2010 Private
Placement Warrants). Each 2010 Private Placement Warrant is exercisable at $3.75 through December
29, 2014. The net proceeds from the 2010 Private Placement were used to fund research and
development and for general working capital purposes. We completed the 2010 Private Placement in
multiple closings in December 2009 and January 2010 and completed the final closing on January 29,
2010 (the Final Closing Date). We sold 794,260 of 2010 Private Placement Units and netted cash
proceeds of $1,786,890, after deducting commissions and expenses paid to GVC Capital LLC (GVC
Capital), who served as the placement agent for the 2010 Private Placement and earned a commission
of 8% plus a non-accountable expense allowance of 2% of the gross proceeds raised. In addition, we
were obligated to sell for a nominal fee to GVC Capital, as the placement agent, warrants to
purchase 20% of the total number of 2010 Private Place Units sold in the 2010 Private Placement,
79,426 of which are exercisable at a price of $2.50 per share and 79,426 of which are exercisable
at $3.75 per share (collectively, the 2010 Private Placement PA Warrants). The 2010 Private
Placement PA Warrants expire five years from the Final Closing Date and are exercisable 180 days
after the Final Closing Date. A total of 158,852 of 2010 Private Placement PA Warrants were
issued. Two of the Companys directors are senior managing partners of GVC Capital.
At the Companys option, we may call the 2010 Private Placement Warrants through December 29, 2014
by giving to the holder 20 days written notice (the 2010 Private Placement Call Notice). A 2010
Private Placement Call Notice may be given by the Company only within 10 days after our common
stock has had a closing price of not less than $6.00 per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading
days with trading volume in excess of 25,000 shares per day for that period of days.
We calculated the value of the 2010 Private Placement PA Warrants at $356,471 using the
Black-Scholes model and recorded this amount as a charge to additional paid in capital for the year
ended March 31, 2010.
NOTE 4 CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
Bacterial Disorders License
On May 15, 2006, we entered into an SRA with the Regents of the University of Colorado (RUC)
related to the licensing of pending patents related to the method of use of AAT on bacterial
infection (the Bacterial SRA). Pursuant to the Bacterial SRA, we were required to make quarterly
payments to RUC totaling $1,097,460. We have satisfied all financial commitments under the
Bacterial SRA. We are currently pursuing expanded patent rights based on our licensed technology
directed to treating bacterial-related disorders with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) and certain international patent offices.
F-19
OMNI BIO PHARMACEUTICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Viral Disorders License
On March 30, 2008, we entered into a license agreement with RUC covering patent applications and an
issued patent directed to treatment and/or prevention of viral disorders. Some of these disorders
include, but are not limited to, HIV and influenza (the Viral License). We are currently
pursuing expanded patent rights based on our licensed technology directed to treating viral-related
disorders with the USPTO.
On August 18, 2010, we entered into an SRA with RUC whereby UCD will perform studies in
vitro and in vivo to determine the biological activity of AAT as an inhibitor of
influenza (the Viral SRA). The Viral SRA was executed pursuant to the Viral License. We
are obligated to make quarterly payments to UCD, which total approximately $440,000 over a
two-year period, of which approximately $110,000 was paid during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2011. All rights to intellectual property developed in connection with the Viral
SRA (the Viral Intellectual Property) will belong to UCD, and UCD will have the right to
obtain patent protections on the Viral Intellectual Property. In accordance with the terms
of the Viral SRA, UCD granted us an option to acquire an exclusive, worldwide,
royalty-bearing license of any of the Viral Intellectual Property, subject to certain
conditions and exceptions.
On June 8, 2011, we gave written notice to RUC terminating the Viral SRA. The termination
of the Viral SRA will be effective 45 days from the date of written notification, unless an earlier termination date is
negotiated with RUC. Unless otherwise negotiated with RUC, we must reimburse UCD for the
total actual and reasonable costs incurred by it under the Viral SRA through the date of
termination, including those costs necessary to implement the early termination of the
Viral SRA and costs incurred by UCD as a result of non-cancelable obligations, which may
extend beyond the date of such termination. In addition, certain indemnification
obligations and intellectual property rights will survive the termination of the Viral SRA.
The termination of the Viral SRA does not impact the continuance of the Viral License or
licensing of the intellectual property and patents (both issued and pending).
Cellular Transplantation License
On November 12, 2008, we entered into a license agreement with RUC for technology related to the
treatment of cellular transplantation and graft rejection (the Cellular Transplant License). We
are currently pursuing expanded patent rights based on our licensed technology directed to treating
cellular transplantation and graft rejection disorders with the USPTO and certain international
patent offices.
Diabetes License Agreement and Sponsored Research Agreement
On September 28, 2009, we entered into a license agreement with Bio Holding, Inc. (Bio Holding)
to obtain an exclusive license (the Diabetes License) to patent applications related to the
treatment of diabetes. Dr. Leland Shapiro, who is one of our principal scientific investigators,
and the beneficial owner of approximately 12% of our common stock as of March 31, 2011, is the
majority shareholder of Bio Holding.
On September 3, 2010 and pursuant to the Diabetes License, we executed an SRA with RUC (the
Diabetes SRA), whereby UCD will study the effects of AAT on cytokine production by human
pancreatic islet cells and the ability of AAT to protect these cells from induced toxicity (the
Project). The Diabetes SRA will terminate on the earlier of the completion of the Project or
February 28, 2012, unless extended or renewed in writing by either us or UCD or otherwise
terminated prior to February 28, 2012 in accordance with the terms of the Diabetes SRA. We are
obligated to make payments to UCD of $88,000 over a one-year period, of which $58,000 was paid
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trial
On June 7, 2010, we executed an Investigational Site Agreement (the ISA), whereby we
agreed to fund a clinical study to evaluate AAT in the treatment of patients with Type 1
diabetes (the Diabetes Clinical Trial). The Diabetes Clinical Trial is initially to
include 15 patients. Base costs, which include the enrollment fee and other incidental
charges, for the 15 patients will be approximately $585,000. In June 2010, we made a
prepayment of $365,000, which represents the total amount of cash expended on the Diabetes
Clinical Trial through March 31, 2011. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we
recorded approximately $383,000 of research and development expense related to the Diabetes
Clinical Trial. This amount was calculated based on the number of patients infused during
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 multiplied by the estimated Diabetes Clinical Trial
cost per patient.
In March 2010, Omni and Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Baxter) executed a Material Transfer
Agreement (the Material Transfer Agreement), whereby, contingent upon the execution of the ISA,
Baxter agreed to supply, at no cost, 1.25 kg of Aralast NPTM, with a commercial value of
$420,000, to us for use in the Diabetes Clinical Trial as described above. Pursuant to the
Material Transfer Agreement, we warranted that the Diabetes Clinical Trial will be conducted under
either a waiver to an IND or an IND filed with the United States Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). Under the Material Transfer Agreement, we are responsible to maintain the IND and comply
with all reporting and other obligations associated with the IND. The Material Transfer Agreement
will terminate upon completion of the Diabetes Clinical Trial unless Omni and Baxter mutually agree
in writing to extend its term. The Material Transfer Agreement may be terminated by either party
(i) upon a material breach of the Material Transfer Agreement, or (2) in the event of an Adverse
Event (as defined in the Material Transfer Agreement) that warrants termination of the Diabetes
Clinical Trial. In addition, we are required to prepare for Baxter a summary of the information
and results generated as of certain milestones during the two-year period of the Diabetes Clinical
Trial.
Future royalty payments under license agreements are summarized below:

NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES
As of March 31, 2011, we had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future federal
income tax of approximately $6.25 million. These carryforwards expire between fiscal years 2026
through 2031. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of and the benefit from net operating
losses that can be carried forward may be limited in certain circumstances. Events that may cause
changes in the our tax carryovers include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of
more than 50% over a three-year period. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable
income may be limited. We carry a deferred tax valuation allowance equal to 100% of total deferred
assets. In recording this allowance, we have considered a number of factors, but chiefly, our
sustained operating losses from inception. We have concluded that a valuation allowance is required
for 100% of the total deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets will not be realized.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, we had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for
the payment of related interest.
Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and
penalties are recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and
2009, we recorded no amounts for interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits or tax
related penalties.
Any of our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by
relevant tax authorities. We have not been examined by the Internal Revenue Service or the state of
Colorado since inception and, therefore, our tax returns are open for review for all years since
inception.
NOTE 6 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
In April 2010, we settled a liability for legal services in the amount of $49,982 in exchange for
20,000 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock at
$3.75 per share. The pricing of the common stock and warrant consideration was consistent with the
terms of a private equity offering that was completed in December 2009 and January 2010. The
warrants expire on April 30, 2015.
On June 30, 2010, a note with a related party in the amount of $25,000 was converted into 31,250
shares of our common stock under the terms of the note.
F-23
OMNI BIO PHARMACEUTICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2010, we raised approximately $222,000 of cash, net of placement agent fees of $11,612,
from the exercise of common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
Pursuant to the warrant exercises, we issued a total of 935,000 shares of our common stock.
NOTE 7 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
From inception, we have not had an employee stock option plan, but have issued stock purchase
warrants on a discretionary basis to employees, directors and outside consultants. The fair value of each warrant award was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on assumptions noted in the following table.
Historically, the expected life of a warrant has been equal to its contractual term, as all of the
warrants granted have underlying shares that are not registered and have additional trading
restrictions. Further, for warrants granted to directors and officers, vested warrants are not
forfeited in the circumstance of disassociation with the Company. Expected volatility was
estimated based on comparisons of stock price volatility of peer group, publicly-traded
companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the grant measurement date of a
traded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond, as reported by the U.S. Federal Reserve, with a term equal
to the expected term of the respective warrant.
We did not grant any warrants to employees, consultants or directors during the year ended March
31, 2011. The following table provides the range of assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing
model for warrants granted in the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Equity Issuances for the Year Ended March 31, 2011 (Fiscal Year 2011)
On February 23, 2011, we granted 450,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) to certain of our

grant date, which was $3.75 per share. The total value of the RSUs granted was $1,687,500, of which
$57,000 was expensed during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. These RSUs vest on a graded

expires on April 7, 2016. We valued these warrants at $529,975 using the Black-Scholes model with
the following assumptions: exercise price of $0.50 expected life of seven years, estimated fair
value of our common stock price of $1.00 at date of grant, dividend yield of 0%, interest rate of
2.47%, and volatility of 100.0%. We recognized share-based compensation using the straight-line
method based on the vesting term of the grant.

price of $1.25 per Unit. Each warrant in the Unit (the 2011 Private Placement Warrants) is
exercisable at $2.00 until five years from the initial closing of the 2011 Private Placement. The
maximum Units to be sold in the 2011 Private Placement are 4,800,000 resulting in gross aggregate
proceeds to the Company of up to $6.0 million. The net proceeds of the 2011 Private Placement will
