MYMETICS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The amounts in the notes are shown in thousands of EURO rounded to the nearest thousand except for share and per share amounts.
 
The accompanying interim period consolidated financial statements of Mymetics Corporation (the "Company") set forth herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The interim period consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
 
The accompanying financial statements of the Company are unaudited. However, in the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein contain all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments made during the three-month period ending June 30, 2011 were of a normal and recurring nature.
 
The Company was created for the purpose of engaging in vaccine research and development. Its main research efforts have been concentrated in the prevention and treatment of the AIDS virus until it acquired an ongoing malaria vaccine project from one of its close scientific partners. On April 1, 2009 the Company successfully closed its acquisition of Bestewil Holding BV and Mymetics BV (previously Virosome Biologicals BV) and, as a result, has further increased the pipeline of vaccines under development to include (i) Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)  which is at the end of pre-clinical stage (ii) Herpes Simplex which is at the pre-clinical stage, and (iii)intra-nasal influenza which has finished a clinical trial Phase I and is being developed in collaboration with Solvay Pharmaceuticals (now Abbott Laboratories). The Company has established a network of partners and sub-contractors to further develop its vaccines, including education centers, research centers, pharmaceutical laboratories and biotechnology companies.
 
These financial statements have been prepared treating the Company as a development stage company. As of June 30, 2011, the Company is in the initial stages of clinical testing and a commercially viable product is not expected for several more years. As such, the Company has not generated significant revenues. For the purpose of these financial statements, the development stage started May 2, 1990.
 
These financial statements have also been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced significant losses since inception resulting in a deficit accumulated during the development stage of E59,797 at June 30, 2011. Deficits in operating cash flows since inception have been financed through debt and equity funding sources. In order to remain a going concern and continue the Company's research and development activities, management intends to seek additional funding. Management is seeking additional financing but there can be no assurance that management will be successful in any of those efforts.
 
 
 

 
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
The Company translates non-Euro assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the year. Unrealized gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. Transaction gains or losses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations. The Company's reporting currency is the Euro because substantially all of the Company's activities are conducted in Europe.

CASH
 
Cash deposits are occasionally in excess of insured amounts. No interest was paid for the three or six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
Revenue related to the sale of products is recognized when all of the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Grant revenue is recognized when the associated costs are incurred.

RECEIVABLES
 
Receivables are stated at their outstanding principal balances. Management reviews the collectability of receivables on a periodic basis and determines the appropriate amount of any allowance. Based on this review procedure, management has determined that the allowance at June 30, 2011 and at December 31, 2010 are sufficient. The Company charges off receivables to the allowance when management determines that a receivable is not collectible. The Company may retain a security interest in the products sold.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated over its estimated useful life on straight-line basis from the date placed in service. Estimated useful lives are usually taken as three years.

LICENSE CONTRACT
 
The license contract was acquired as part of the acquisition of Bestewil. It is amortized over 14 years on a straight-line basis.
 
IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
In-process research and development (referred to as IPR&D) represents the estimated fair value assigned to research and development projects acquired in a purchased business combination that have not been completed at the date of acquisition and which have no alternative future use. IPR&D assets acquired in a business combination are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets. These assets remain indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. During the periods prior to completion or abandonment, those acquired indefinite-lived assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
 
 
 

 
 
The Company has contracted with a consulting firm to carry out the impairment testing as of April 1, 2011 of its IPR&D assets related to RSV and HSV. No impairment loss was  necessary based on the testing performed.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, and the license contract, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset. In the event the carrying value of the assets exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset and the carrying value is not considered recoverable, impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, calculated using a discounted future cash flow method. An impairment loss would be recognized in net income in the period that the impairment occurs.
 
GOODWILL
 
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis as of April 1st of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment model prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using an enterprise value analysis. If the net book value of its reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed which requires allocation of the Company’s reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.
 
The Company has contracted with a consulting firm to carry out the impairment testing as of April 1, 2011 of its goodwill recognized in connection to the acquisition of Bestewil. In conclusion of this impairment testing, the carrying amount of the reporting unit was lower than the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. As the fair value of the reporting unit is higher than the carrying amount, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test did not need to be completed.

CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
 
The Company accounts for contingent consideration in a purchase business combination in accordance with applicable guidance provided within the business combination rules. As part of the consideration for the Bestewil acquisition, the Company is contractually obligated to pay additional purchase price consideration upon achievement of certain commercial milestones. Therefore, the Company is required to update the assumptions at each reporting period, based on new developments, and record such amounts at fair value until such consideration is satisfied.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
 
 

 
 
TAXES ON INCOME
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.
 
The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively.
 
The Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or any related interest and penalties at June 30, 2011 or at December 31, 2010.  The Company’s United States tax returns are open to audit for the years ended December 31, 2007 to 2010. The returns for the Luxembourg subsidiary LUXEMBOURG 6543 S.A., are open to audit for the year ended December 31, 2010. The returns for the Swiss subsidiary, Mymetics S.A., are open to audit for the years ended December 31, 2007 to 2010. The returns for the Netherlands subsidiaries, Bestewil B.V. and Mymetics B.V., are open to audit for the year ended December 31, 2010.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the common  period. The weighted average number of shares was 213,963,166 and 196,263,630 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The weighted average number of shares was 213,963,166 and 196,212,801 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive securities. Options, warrants and convertible debt were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to net losses incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the total potential number of shares issuable of 141,462,843 includes 85,451,893 potential issuable shares related to  convertible loans, 51,218,450 potential issuable shares related to warrants, and 4,792,500 potential issuable shares related to outstanding options granted to employees. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the total potential number of shares issuable of 106,424,091 includes 84,913,141 potential issuable shares related to convertible loans, 19,218,450 potential issuable shares related to warrants, and 2,292,500 potential issuable shares related to outstanding options granted to employees.

PREFERRED STOCK
 
The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock that may be issued in several series with varying dividend, conversion and voting rights. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding at June 30, 2011.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Compensation cost for all share-based payments is based on the estimated grant-date fair value. The Company amortizes stock compensation cost ratably over the requisite service period.

    The issuance of common shares for services is recorded at the quoted price of the shares on the date the shares are issued. No shares were issued in the six months ended June 30, 2011. 200,000 shares were issued to individuals as fee for services rendered in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 
 

 

ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
 
Level 1-Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2-Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3-Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company generally has the following financial instruments: cash, employee receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, taxes and social costs payable, acquisition-related contingent consideration and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, employee receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, and taxes and social costs payable approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is equal to fair value since this liability is required to be reported at fair value. Due to the unique nature of the notes payable, management believes it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these instruments.

CONCENTRATIONS
 
The Company enters into scientific collaboration agreements with selected partners such as Pevion Biotech Ltd., a Swiss company that granted Mymetics exclusive licenses to use their virosome vaccine delivery technology in conjunction with the Company’s AIDS and malaria preventive vaccines under development. Under this agreement, Pevion Biotech is committed to supply the actual Virosomes and perform their integration with the Company’s antigens, which requires proprietary know-how, at Pevion’s premises. The agreement includes specific mechanisms to mitigate the risk of losing a key component of Mymetics’ vaccines should Pevion become unable to meet its commitment.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company's general counsel is a member of the Board of Directors.  The Company incurred professional fees to the counsel's law firm during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, totaling E21 and E46, respectively. The professional fees incurred by the Company to the counsel's law firm during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, totaled E8 and E72, respectively.

COMMITMENTS

As per an agreement signed on December 22, 2008, PX Therapeutics has granted the license rights of the general know-how of Gp41 manufacturing technology to Mymetics for five years. During this period, the Company pays to PX Therapeutics an annual fee of E200 until the expiration date of December 23, 2013. The third milestone payment of E200 is due on December 23, 2011.

Amortization of intangibles amounting to E96 has been recorded during each of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Note 3. Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration
 
On April 1, 2009, Mymetics and Norwood Immunology Limited (“NIL”) closed the acquisition of Bestewil Holding B.V. (“Bestewil”) from its parent, NIL, under a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Mymetics agreed to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Bestewil Shares”) of Bestewil from its parent, NIL, and all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Virosome Biologicals B.V. which were held by Bestewil.
 
Remaining contingent consideration to be paid under the Share Purchase Agreement includes:

 
·
A payment of up to E3,000 in cash should a third party commence a Phase III clinical trial by April 1, 2013 for Mymetics’ Intranasal Influenza Vaccine licensed from Bestewil;

 
·
A payment of 50% of Mymetics’ net royalties received from a Respiratory  Syncytial Virus license (RSV license), payable in cash, maximum amount unlimited; and

 
·
A payment in cash, maximum amount unlimited, of 25% of any net amounts received by Mymetics from a third party Herpes Simplex Virus license (HSV license) based upon Bestewil intellectual property.
 
The fair value of the contractual obligations to pay the contingent consideration is determined based on a risk-adjusted, discounted cash flow approach. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The resultant cash flows are discounted using a discount rate of 25%, which the Company believes is appropriate and is representative of a market participant assumption.
 
 
 

 
 
The fair value of the contingent consideration due to NIL according to the achievement of certain milestones and royalties on the vaccines RSV, HSV and Influenza is estimated at E6,227 as of June 30, 2011.
 
The following table presents changes to the Company’s acquisition-related contingent consideration for the period ending June 30, 2011:

  E  960     E (495)     E 465  
Total Contingent Consideration
  E 3,212     E E 3,015     E 6,227  
 
During the three and six month period ending June 30, 2011, the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration increased by E3,015.
 
The fair value recorded as of December 31, 2010 was determined based on a projection period ending in 2023, which corresponds to the lifetime of the underlying patents. This projection period has been extended to 2030 based on management’s revised assessment of the Company’s ability to generate new patents from its research, in the fair value calculation performed as of June 30, 2011. This results in an adjustment of approximately E1,800 to the fair value calculation. The RSV vaccine was planned to be out-licensed after the pre-clinical phase with potential royalties of 2%. As of the date of this report, no out-licensing agreement has been made. Management’s new plan is to bring the RSV vaccine through a Phase I and II, which adds considerable value and changes expected royalties to 10% and therefore increases the liability due to NIL. This change had an additional impact of approximately E1,200 in the fair value calculation.
 
Note 4. Debt Financing
 
To date, high net worth investors in Switzerland have purchased restricted common shares at prices which are at a premium to the market price of Mymetics shares, and have introduced management to other high net worth individuals who have a similar interest in the Company’s science and mission.
 
In addition to purchasing shares, certain principal shareholders have granted the Company secured convertible notes (in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in the State of Delaware), which have a total carrying value of E28,954 including interest due to date. Interest incurred on these notes since inception has been added to the principal amounts.

Note 5. Equity Financing
 
The Company relied on its existing high net worth shareholders until the end of 2010. The Company is in discussions with certain potential investors and lenders to meet the Company’s expenses during the next six months and beyond.
 
On February 4, 2010, Mymetics engaged a US based investment bank to lead the effort of raising approximately $40 million in a private placement from targeted financial institutions to meet Mymetics' capital requirements for continued development of its vaccine pipeline.
 
Note 6. Subsequent Events
 
On August 5, 2011, an agreement was made with Round Enterprises to convert the loan of E2.2 million including the accrued interest that has matured on June 30, 2011, into 41,542,722 shares at a conversion price of $0.08 per share.
 
On August 4, 2011, two new bridge loans of $1.2 million and $300,000, both bearing an interest rate of 10%, were issued to Round Enterprises Ltd. and Eardley Holding A.G., respectively. Both loans have a maturity date of January 31, 2012 and can be converted into common shares when an equity investment round, of at least $20 million, closes. The conversion rate would equal 90% of the price per share paid by the equity investors.
 
 
 

 
 
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
 
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Mymetics Corporation for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and related notes and the description of the Company's business and properties included elsewhere herein.
 
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this report are not purely historical, but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These forward looking statements concern matters that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Words such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue", "probably" or similar words are intended to identify forward looking statements, although not all forward looking statements contain these words.
 
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
 
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect our business, including without limitation disclosures made under the captions "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Risk Factors," "Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and, to the extent included therein, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed during fiscal year 2010.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
 
Revenue was E38 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, of which E37 relates to licensing agreements, and E37 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, related to licensing agreements. This revenue has been earned by Mymetics BV (the acquired company “Bestewil Holding/Virosome Biological”).
 
Costs and expenses increased to E4’621 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from E2,108 (119.2%) for the three months ended June 30, 2010, mainly due to a change in the acquisition-related contingent consideration.
 
Research and development expenses decreased to E309 in the current period from E723 (-57.3%) in the comparative period of 2010. The decrease of R&D was mainly related to efforts of the Company to reduce expenses until it secures additional equity financing to allow it to enter into the clinical trials for its HIV and RSV vaccines.
 
General and administrative expenses decreased to E406 in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from E680 (-40.3%) in the comparative period of 2010. This was mainly due to a reduction in payroll, legal and investor relation costs incurred in the period ended June 30, 2010 related to the issuance of 3rd party contracts and start up costs for a fund raising program, respectively.
 
 
 

 
 
Interest expense increased to E829 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from E631 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was mainly related to the E300 amortization charge of the debt discount related to the warrant that was issued in conjunction with a note payable on July 1, 2010, while direct interest charges on notes payable was lower due to the conversion of a short term note payable into shares of common stock in September 2010.
 
A reassessment of fair value required an E3,015 increase in the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability during the three months ended June 30, 2011 mainly due to higher expected future milestone payments related to the RSV vaccine. Further, the timelines for possible out-licensing upfront and milestone payments for the RSV and HSV vaccine candidates have been moved out to reflect the strategy of Mymetics to out-license after a successful Phase II and start of a Phase III.
 
The Company reported a net loss of E4,583, or E0.02 per share, for the three  months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of E2,070, or E0.01 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
 
Revenue was E77 for both the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, related mainly to licensing agreements. This revenue has been earned by Mymetics BV (the acquired company “Bestewil Holding/Virosome Biological”).
 
Costs and expenses increased to E6,356 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from E4,186 (51.8%) for the six months ended June 30, 2010, mainly due to a change in the acquisition-related contingent consideration.
 
Research and development expenses decreased to E749 in the current period from E1,261 (40.6%) in the comparative period of 2010. The decrease of R&D was mainly related to efforts of the Company to reduce expenses until it secures additional equity financing to allow it to enter into the clinical trials for its HIV and RSV vaccines.
 
General and administrative expenses decreased to E822 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from E1,373 (40.1%) in the comparative period of 2010. This was mainly due to a reduction in, payroll, legal and investor relation costs incurred in the period ended June 30, 2010 related to the issuance of 3rd party contracts and start up costs for a fund raising program, respectively.
 
Interest expense increased to E1,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from E1,222 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This was mainly related to the E600 amortization charge of the debt discount related to the warrant that was issued in conjunction with a note payable on July 1, 2010, while direct interest charges on notes payable was lower due to the conversion of a short term note payable into shares of common stock in September 2010.
 
A reassessment of fair value required an E3,015 increase in the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability during the six months ended June 30, 2011 mainly due to higher expected future milestone payments related to the RSV vaccine. Further, the timelines for possible out-licensing upfront and milestone payments for the RSV and HSV vaccine candidates have been moved out to reflect the Company’s strategy to out-license after a successful Phase II and start of a Phase III.
 
The Company reported a net loss of E6,279, or E0.03 per share, for the six  months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of E4,109, or E0.02 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
 
 

 
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We had cash of E339 at June 30, 2011 compared to E1,811 at December 31, 2010.
 
We have not generated any material revenues since we commenced our vaccine research and development business in 2001, and we do not anticipate generating any material revenues on a sustained basis unless and until a licensing agreement or other commercial arrangement is entered into with respect to our technology.
 
As of June 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately E60 million, and we incurred losses of E6,279 in the six month period ending on that date. These losses are principally associated with the research and development of our vaccine technologies and the change in acquisition-related contingent consideration. We expect to continue to incur expenses in the future for research, development and activities related to the future licensing of our technologies.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was (E2,509) for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to (E3,694) for the period ended June 30, 2010.
 
Investing activities provided cash of E4 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to proceeds from the sale of equipment, as compared to E4 during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Financing activities provided cash of E1,034 and E3,421 for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Salaries and related payroll costs represent gross salaries for our three directors and five employees. Under Executive Employment Agreements with our CFO and CSO, and a consulting contract with our CEO, we pay our executive officers a combined amount of E57 per month. This is exclusive of our contracts for the consulting services of Professor Marc Girard. Mr. Christian Rochet, who was employed by the Company as Senior Advisor to the President, has terminated his contract as of April 30, 2011.
 
Mr. Jacques-François Martin is President and Chief Executive Officer of Mymetics Corporation and Mr. Ronald Kempers is Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. In addition, our Swiss subsidiary, Mymetics S.A., has on its payroll two assistants to our CFO and CSO, respectively, as well as one employee performing various administrative services on our behalf. Mymetics BV has one full time director (CSO) plus two full-time assistants. As of June 30, 2011, our Luxembourg affiliate had no employees.
 
The ten member Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) created in 2009, is made up of emminent intellectuals from around the world with expertise related to the Company’s products as follows:
 
Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board - Dr. Stanley Plotkin, Emeritus Professor Wistar Institute, University of Pennsylvania, consultant to Sanofi Pasteur, developed the rubella vaccine in 1960s; worked extensively on the development and application of other vaccines including polio, rabies, varicella, rotavirus and cytomegalovirus as well as senior roles at the Epidemic Intelligence Service, U.S. Public Health Service; Aventis Pasteur (medical and scientific director); and Sanofi Pasteur (executive advisor).
 
Vice Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board - Dr. Marc Girard, has over 20 years of experience in the HIV-1 research field, past Director of the Mérieux Foundation and a consultant to the WHO and former Chairman of EuroVac (European Consortium for HIV vaccine).

Dr. Morgane Bomsel, Cochin Institute, France
Dr. Ruth Ruprecht, Harvard University, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston USA

Monthly fixed and recurring expenses for "Property leases" of E11 represent the monthly lease and maintenance payments to unaffiliated third parties for our offices, of which E4 is related to our executive office located at Route de la Corniche 4, 1066 Epalinges in Switzerland (100 square meters), and E7 related to Bestewil Holding B.V. and its subsidiary Mymetics B.V operating from a similar biotechnology campus near Leiden in the Netherlands, where they occupy 100 square meters. The lease related to the office located at 14, rue de la Colombiere in Nyon (Switzerland) (100 square meters) has been cancelled as of end of February 2011.
 
Included in professional fees are legal fees paid to outside corporate counsel and audit and review fees paid to our independent accountants, and fees paid for investor relations.
 
Cumulative interest expense of E5,002 has been incurred on all of the Company’s outstanding notes and advances (see detailed table in note 4 to the financial statements).
 
We intend to continue to incur additional expenditures during the next 12 months for additional research and development of our HIV, Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Herpes Simplex vaccines, while also further developing the R&D at Mymetics BV (Leiden) and Mymetics Corporation (Epalinges). Additional funding requirements during the next 12 months will arise as we continue to develop the pipeline of vaccines and move forward in our clinical trials. We expect that funding for the cost of any clinical trials will be available either from debt or equity financings, donors and/or potential pharmaceutical partners before we commence the human trials.
 
In the past we have financed our research and development activities primarily through debt and equity financings from various parties.
 
We anticipate our operations will require approximately E6 million until December 31, 2011. To allow the Company to achieve our business plan, we have engaged Gilford Securities to raise on a best efforts basis through its selling group up to US$60,000,000 through the sale of convertible Series A Preferred Stock which has to be authorized by our shareholders through an amendment to our certificate of incorporation. Under the terms of the letter of engagement with Gilford Securities dated February 4, 2010, we will (i) pay a cash fee of 8% of the purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock sold by Gilford Securities, not including up to US$15,000,000 that we are allowed to sell to investors which are not introduced by Gilford Securities, (ii) register the shares of our common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock within three months of selling a minimum of US$40,000,000 of Series A Preferred Stock. The proposed Series A Preferred Stock is nonvoting, convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of US$.50 per share, preferred as to liquidation only and will not pay any dividend. We will continue to seek to raise the required capital from donors and/or potential partnerships with major international pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on terms satisfactory to us, or at all, to finance our operations. In the event that we are not able to obtain such additional capital, we would be required to further restrict or even halt our operations.

RECENT FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
To date we have generated no material revenues from our business operations. We are unable to predict when or if we will be able to generate revenues from licensing our technology or the amounts expected from such activities. These revenue streams may be generated by us or in conjunction with collaborative partners or third party licensing arrangements, and may include provisions for one-time, lump sum payments in addition to ongoing royalty payments or other revenue sharing arrangements. However, we presently have no commitments for any such payments.
 
 
 

 
 
We anticipate using our current funds and those we receive in the future both to meet our working capital needs and for funding the ongoing research costs associated with our gp41 testing. Provided we can obtain sufficient financing resources, we expect to continue the development for our HIV and RSV vaccine in 2011. In accordance with our past strategy, we intend to subcontract such work to "best of class" research teams unless institutions such as the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) decide to conduct such trials at their own expense, which they presently do.
 
We do not anticipate that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements through the next twelve months. We do not have enough cash presently on hand, based upon our current levels of expenditures and anticipated needs during this period, and we will need additional proceeds from additional equity investments such as private placements under Regulation D and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. We are working closely with Gilford Securities, as stated above, to assist us in an effort to generate further equity investments within the next twelve months. The extent and timing of our future capital requirements will depend primarily upon the rate of our progress in the research and development of our technologies, our ability to enter into one or more licensing or partnership agreements with major pharmaceutical companies, and the results of future clinical trials.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates which could affect our financial condition and results of operations. We have not entered into derivative contracts for our own account to hedge against such risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK
 
Fluctuations in interest rates may affect the fair value of financial instruments. An increase in market interest rates may increase interest payments and a decrease in market interest rates may decrease interest payments of such financial instruments. We have no debt obligations which are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations as all our notes payable have fixed interest rates, as specified on the individual loan notes.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
REMEDIATION OF MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
To address the findings of the Company’s subsequent analysis of Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which led to the determination of the existence of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to a reduction in the conversion price of shareholder debt and adjustments to the terms of a stock option, that should have been recorded as expenses, the Company agreed to rely on a professional and qualified consultant during the fiscal year 2011 for complex transactions. Management believes that a corrective action has been taken during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 that has mitigated and tested the effectiveness of the material weakness described above as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
 
 

 
 
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
During the period ended June 30, 2011, the new CFO in place has implemented a process to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting by engaging a qualified consultant to aid the Company in the preparation, analysis, documentation and review of its complex transactions. Management believes that a corrective action has been taken during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 that has mitigated and tested the effectiveness of the material weakness described above as of the end of the period covered by this report.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
 
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected.
 
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
 
 
 

 


PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Neither we, nor our wholly owned subsidiaries 6543 Luxembourg S.A., Mymetics S.A., Bestewil Holding B.V. nor its subsidiary Mymetics B.V. are presently involved in any litigation incident to our business except as follows:

Pursuant to our indemnification obligations under Delaware law, our charter and the consulting agreements with Christian Rochet and Ernst Luebke, respectively, we have paid a judgment for €173,000 entered against these two former officers and directors entered in November 2010 in a case styled Luebke Rochet / Serres – ref. 120494.  The lawsuit was brought in the Tribunal de Commerce in Lyon, France, by our former CEO, Dr. Pierre-Francois Serres, who sued Messrs. Rochet and Luebke for an alleged breach of a shareholders agreement in 1998. Mr. Serres brought this case against Messrs. Rochet and Luebke following the dismissal of the case he filed against us for an alleged unlawful termination of Mr. Serres by Messrs. Rochet and Luebke in 2003.  We are appealing the decision.
