REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors

BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies:

 

Organization:

 

BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Indiana on January 6, 1997 and later reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2002. BDSI and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

BDSI is a specialty biopharmaceutical company that is exploiting its licensed and proprietary patented drug delivery technologies to develop and commercialize clinically-significant new formulations of proven therapeutics and micronutrients. The Company’s drug delivery technologies include: (i) the licensed and patented Bioral® nanocochleate technology, designed for a potentially broad base of applications, and (ii) the licensed and patented BEMA (transmucosal, or applied to the inner cheek membrane) drug delivery technology being developed by the Company’s Arius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. subsidiary (“Arius”), which was acquired in August 2004. Arius is developing products for “acute” treatment opportunities such as pain, anxiety, nausea and vomiting.

 

Principles of consolidation:

 

The financial statements include the accounts of BDSI and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Arius (from the date of acquisition of August 24, 2004) and Bioral Nutrient Delivery, LLC (“BND”), which is currently an inactive subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated.

 

Revenue recognition:

 

Sponsored research amounts are recognized as revenue when the research underlying such funding has been performed or when the funds have otherwise been utilized, such as for the purchase of operating assets. Grant revenue is recognized to the extent provided for under the related grant or collaborative research agreement

 

License fees are payments for the initial license of and access to the Company’s technology. For nonrefundable license fees received at the initiation of license agreements for which the Company has an ongoing research and development commitment, the Company defers these fees and recognizes them ratably over the period of the related research and development. For nonrefundable license fees received under license agreements where the continued performance of future research and development services is not required, the Company recognizes revenues upon delivery of the technology. In addition to license fees, the Company may also generate revenue from time to time in the form of milestone payments. Milestone payments are only received and recognized as revenues if the specified milestone is achieved and accepted by the customer and continued performance of future research and development services related to that milestone are not required. The Company, for arrangements where non-refundable upfront fees exist and there are further payments due upon achieving certain milestones, recognizes such revenue pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, whereby multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine whether such deliverables should be considered a single unit of accounting.

1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

 

In April 2004, the Company entered into a sublicensing agreement (the “Accentia License Agreement”) with Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., f/k/a Accentia, Inc. (“Accentia”), a related company, pursuant to which the Company was entitled to a 12% to 14% royalty stream from an oral compound for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitus. Under the terms of the Accentia License Agreement, all development costs are paid by Accentia. The Company is entitled to that royalty stream based on its application of encochleated technology to licensed drugs. In September 2004, in part to address the Company’s liquidity, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Accentia whereby the Company sold to Accentia an asset consisting of 50% of a portion of the future revenue stream under the Accentia License Agreement (and a resulting reduction of future royalty payments) for a one-time non-refundable payment of $2.5 million. The Company has no material ongoing obligations under the agreement or its asset purchase agreement with Accentia, and the Company has subsequently clarified with Accentia the actual original agreement between the parties regarding the Company’s and Accentia’s obligations. As such, the $2.5 million, which was paid in September, is recognized as “other income” in the 2004 financial statements.

 

Research and development:

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses principally include consulting fees and cost reimbursements to The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (“UMDNJ”), testing of compounds under investigation, and salaries and benefits of employees engaged in research and development activities.

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its financial instruments in a variety of high-credit quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2004, approximately $0.5 million exceeded those amounts insured by the FDIC.

 

Fair value of financial instruments:

 

At December 31, 2004, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and note payable approximate fair value based either on the short term nature of the instruments or on the related interest rate approximating the current market rate.

 

Equipment:

 

Office and laboratory equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally 5 years. Accelerated depreciation methods are utilized for income tax purposes.

1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets:

 

Other intangible assets include licenses and noncompete agreements, which are accounted for based on Financial Accounting Standard Statement No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). In that regard, goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

 

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

     Estimated

Noncompete agreements

   13 years

 

Estimated aggregate future amortization expense for other intangible assets with finite lives for each of the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

Thereafter

     238,818
    

     $ 854,505
    

 

Income taxes:

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Use of estimates in financial statements:

 

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements conforms with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 and assumptions.

1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

 

Impairment of assets:

 

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets, and intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of its long-lived assets, or related group of assets where applicable, in measuring whether the assets to be held and used will be realizable. In the event of an impairment, the Company would discount the future cash flows using its then estimated incremental borrowing rate to estimate the amount of the impairment.

 

Net loss per common share:

 

The Company had net losses for all periods presented in which potential common shares were in existence. Diluted loss per share assumes conversion of all potentially dilutive outstanding common stock equivalents. Potential common shares outstanding are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. As such, dilutive loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for all periods presented as the effect of all the following common stock equivalents outstanding is anti-dilutive:

Stock-based compensation:

 

The Company has elected to account for its employee stock compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 with pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123 had been applied.

Accounting and reporting developments:

 

In June 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Commencing with the Company’s 2006 Annual Report, the Company is required to include a report of management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement of management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company; of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of year end; of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting; and that the Company’s independent accounting firm has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which report is also required to be filed as part of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

 

Accounting and reporting developments (continued):

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs.” The statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. ARB No. 43 previously stated that these costs must be “so abnormal as to require treatment as current-period charges.” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted for fiscal years beginning after the issue date of the statement. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have any significant impact on the Company’s current financial condition or results of operations.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting For Nonmonetary Transactions,” is based on the opinion that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets whose results are not expected to significantly change the future cash flows of the entity. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s current financial condition or results of operations.

 

In December 2004, the FASB revised its SFAS No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123R”), “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” The revision establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, particularly transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. The revised statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The provisions of the revised statement are effective for financial statements issued for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005 for small business issuers, with early adoption encouraged. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2005.

 

This Statement applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date.

1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

 

Accounting and reporting developments (continued):

 

As of the required effective date, the Company will apply this Statement using a modified version of prospective application. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under Statement 123 for pro forma disclosure purposes.

 

2. Bioral Nutrient Delivery, LLC corporate structure:

 

On January 8, 2003, the Company formed BND as a majority-owned subsidiary. BND presently has two classes of equity interests: Class A Shares and Class B Shares. As of the date of this report, BDSI owns approximately 94.5% of BND’s Class B Shares and all 708,587 of BND’s Class A Shares.

 

During 2003, BND filed a registration statement on Form SB-1 on behalf of BDSI. In connection therewith, the Company made plans to distribute to BDSI stockholders 3,545,431 of BND’s Class B Shares, or approximately 43% of BND’s outstanding equity interests, including the Class A Shares. After having reevaluated this strategic opportunity, the Company decided in early 2005 to forego the planned distribution of Class B Shares and presently have no intention of effecting any such distribution. Offering costs aggregating approximately $0.3 million have been expensed in the accompanying 2003 statement of operations. BND is substantially inactive at December 31, 2004.

 

3. Liquidity and management’s plans:

 

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations principally from the sale of equity securities, through short-term borrowings, which were subsequently repaid, and from funded research arrangements. The Company has not generated revenue from the sale of any product but has generated revenues from licensing arrangements in 2004 and 2003 and the sale of royalty rights in 2004. The Company intends to finance its research and development efforts and its working capital needs from existing cash, new sources of financing and licensing agreements.

 

In July and August 2004, certain directors of the Company exercised certain of their options to acquire shares of Company common stock (the “Common Stock”) and, as a result, $0.3 million in equity proceeds was generated.

3. Liquidity and management’s plans (continued):

 

On September 3, 2004, the Company entered into an Equity Line of Credit Agreement with Hopkins Capital Group II, LLC (“HCG”), a principal stockholder of the Company which is controlled and partially-owned by the Company’s Chairman and CEO. Pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement, HCG will, at the Company’s request, invest up to $4.0 million in the Company from August 23, 2004 through March 31, 2006 in consideration of shares of a newly created class of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series B Preferred. As of December 31, 2004, $1.45 million had been drawn under the Equity Line Agreement.

 

On February 22, 2005, the Company consummated a $2.5 million secured convertible debt financing from Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (“Laurus”). Net proceeds from the financing were used primarily to retire the secured equipment loan with Gold Bank (on which approximately $300,000 was owed and was paid at the closing of the Laurus transaction) and will be used to support research and development opportunities and for general working capital purposes.

 

The Laurus investment takes the form of a convertible note secured by certain assets. The note has a 3-year term and bears interest at a rate equal to prime plus 2% per annum. The note is convertible, under certain conditions, into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $3.10 per share. In connection with the financing, Laurus was issued a common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $3.88 per share. The Company agreed, pursuant to a registration rights agreement, to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Laurus note and the warrant.

 

The Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financing, including the remaining balances of the Company’s existing equity line of credit and grant, and potential new license revenue is considered by management to be sufficient to finance the planned operations and capital expenditures through at least December 31, 2005. Based on product development timelines and agreements with the Company’s development partners, the ability to scale up or reduce personnel and associated costs are factors considered throughout the product development life cycle. Available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, resulting in the need for additional funding. Accordingly, the Company anticipates it may be required to raise additional capital through a variety of sources, including:

 

    the public equity markets;

 

    private equity financings;

 

    collaborative arrangements;

 

    grants and new license revenues;

 

    bank loans;

 

    public or private debt; and

 

    redemption and/or exercise of existing public warrants.

3. Liquidity and management’s plans (continued):

 

There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to significantly reduce or refocus its operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require it to relinquish rights to certain technologies and drug formulations or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to existing stockholders.

 

4. Business acquisition:

 

On August 24, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Arius through a stock transaction. The transaction was structured as a reorganization of Arius by way of merger with and into a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As part of the transaction, the Company issued to the former stockholders of Arius 1,647,059 shares of a newly designated, non-voting and non-interest bearing, series of convertible preferred stock, designated as Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”). The Series A Preferred will be convertible (upon the satisfaction of certain conditions) into shares of Common Stock on a one for one basis. The Series A Preferred is eligible for conversion upon the earlier to occur of: (i) FDA approval of Arius’ first product or (ii) five years from the closing date.

 

The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to prepare a valuation of the Series A Preferred issued, and the intangibles acquired, in connection with the Arius transaction. The Series A Preferred was valued at $2.25 per share, which included a 30% discount from the public trading price. The stock contains an enforced holding period of up to six years and as such the value was measured by calculating the cost of a put option resulting in the $2.25 per share value.

 

Arius is a specialty pharmaceutical company created to develop and commercialize products for acute conditions associated with surgery and cancer. The Company believes its acquisition of Arius will assist the Company in the furtherance of its strategy of shifting its corporate focus from being solely a drug delivery concern to a company focusing on the area of “specialty pharmaceuticals”, namely, applying the Company’s licensed drug delivery technologies to existing therapeutics to create the Company’s own proprietary formulations, for which the Company will then seek to obtain FDA approval and subsequently commercialize. This strategy seeks to avoid the high risk and cost of developing new chemical entities by focusing on the development and commercialization of new formulations of existing, FDA-approved therapeutic pharmaceuticals to which the Company’s delivery technologies are applied.

 

The Arius acquisition was treated as a business acquisition as opposed to an asset acquisition, pursuant to guidance provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”) and Emerging Issues Task Force Release 98-3 – Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business (“EITF 98-3”).

4. Business acquisition (continued):

 

Arius had entered into licensing arrangements which resulted in revenue recognized of $176,000 at the time of the acquisition, with deferred revenue recognizable in the future of $123,500. Pursuant to EITF 98-3, if the business involves a self-sustaining integrated set of activities and assets conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to investors, absence of significant revenues does not preclude treatment as a business acquisition as opposed to an asset acquisition. Further, Arius possessed all elements necessary to continue to conduct normal operations and met other criteria specified in EITF 98-3 to qualify as a business acquisition.

 

Intangible assets acquired consisted of $1.9 million in licenses which have estimated lives of 13 years, $0.5 million in non-compete agreements which have estimated lives of 2 years and $2.7 million of purchased goodwill.

 

As noted above, Arius’ business focus is to develop and commercialize products for pain associated with surgery and cancer, incorporating a novel delivery system that improves the speed of onset and provides convenience to the patient and healthcare provider.

 

The BEMA technology was licensed from a third party and is associated with several products that have INDs (investigational new drug applications). As an example, one of these products is BEMA Fentanyl, a mucosal analgesic targeted for use in breakthrough treatment for cancer pain. The Company will sell its products containing the BEMA technology to wholesalers.

 

The license acquired for the BEMA technology did not qualify as in-process research and development since the technology was licensed from a third party, Atrix, which granted the BEMA technology to Arius, and which grants Arius an exclusive worldwide license to utilize the technology in its developed products or license the technology to others. This license is a contract-based intangible asset and recognizable as an asset apart from goodwill in accordance with SFAS 141.

 

Emezine® is a special delivery anti-emetic, which is used to treat nausea and vomiting that may result from chemotherapy and other surgical procedures. The Company, through Arius, has finalized a product distribution agreement for Emezine®, which will generate royalties once product development is complete.

 

Emezine® is a product that has substance and is a project that is measurable; however, because Emezine® is a new drug not yet approved by the FDA, it is incomplete, and as such, was determined to be in-process research and development based on accepted valuation methodology, specifically the AICPA Practice Aid “Assets Acquired in a Business Combination to be Used in Research and Development Activities: a Focus on Software, Electronic Devices and Pharmaceutical Industries.”

 

Goodwill was calculated using the residual method, and after deduction of the above values, including amounts allocable to cash and covenants not to compete, was determined to be $2.7 million, pursuant to SFAS 141.

5. Research and development arrangements and related party transactions:

 

Upon its formation, BDSI originally secured license rights from two universities that have exclusive rights to certain technology. In exchange for these rights, BDSI issued shares of Common Stock with anti-dilution provisions and agreed to make future royalty payments to the universities upon (a) the licensing of rights to sub-licensees (up to 5% of fees as amended on December 16, 2002); (b) sales by sub-licensees (25% of BDSI proceeds); or (c) BDSI sales (3% of revenue). The amendment to the agreement on December 16, 2002 also provided for the granting of options to purchase 75,000 shares of the Common Stock to each of the two universities.

 

During 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of a company in which BDSI’s Chairman and CEO is a significant stockholder. The license agreement granted exclusive rights to Emezine®, revenues of which aggregated $1.0 million and which were earned upon satisfaction of milestones specified in the agreement. BDSI will earn future royalties commencing with FDA approval of the product.

 

During 2003, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with a company that is also a stockholder. The agreement included a non-refundable payment of $2.0 million in license fee revenue, which the Company deferred and recognized monthly from January through October 2003 (the period of the related research and development commitment). The agreement also provides for milestone payments for each licensed product upon the filing, acceptance and approval of a new drug application by the Food and Drug Administration. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized $2.0 million in license fee revenue from this related party. No milestone payments were earned during 2004 or 2003.

 

The Company has a collaborative research agreement with UMDNJ, an entity that is also a Company stockholder, under which BDSI pays salaries for UMDNJ employees of approximately $0.2 million per year, laboratory supplies and employee parking costs of approximately $0.04 million annually. In addition, the Company paid to UMDNJ approximately $0.05 million for leasehold improvements in 2003. The Company has approximately $0.1 million recorded as due to related party for each year presented. The agreement expires at the end of 2005. As further discussed in Note 10, the Company also leases its Newark, New Jersey facility from UMDNJ under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement.

Indemnifications:

 

The Company indemnified its officers and directors against costs and expenses related to stockholder and other claims (i.e., only actions taken in their capacity as officers and directors) that are not covered by the Company’s directors and officers insurance policy. This indemnification is ongoing and does not include a limit on the maximum potential future payments, nor are there any recourse provisions or collateral that may offset the cost. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has not recorded a liability for any obligations arising as a result of these indemnifications as the cause thereof is deemed nominal.

 

Litigation:

 

During 2004, the Company was named as the defendant in an action commenced by MAS Capital Inc. (“MAS Capital”). In the lawsuit, plaintiff seeks monetary damages from the Company in the amount of $1.575 million based upon the allegation that MAS Capital, at the Company’s request, procured an underwriter to raise capital for us through an initial public offering. The Company has answered the complaint, denying the material allegations asserted by plaintiff. The case is presently in the pre-trial discovery stage. Management believes that plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

The Company made contributions of approximately $0.06 million and $0.05 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

12. National Institutes of Health Grant:

 

In 2001, the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) awarded the Company a Small Business Innovation Research Grant (the “SBIR”), which has been utilized in research and development efforts. The grant consisted of a 2003 grant of $1.0 million (which was fully-funded through August 2004), a 2002 grant of $0.8 million and a 2001 grant of $0.9 million, a total of approximately $2.7 million related to its initial application for the grant through August 2004.

 

The grant is subject to provisions for monitoring set forth in NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts dated February 24, 2000, (specifically, the NIAID Policy on Monitoring Grants Supporting Clinical Trials and Studies). The Company incurred approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million of costs related to this agreement for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company received $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and recognized revenue of $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, from this grant. These amounts are included in sponsored research revenues in the accompanying statements of operations.
