Pending Litigation On October 2, 1998, Sands Brothers & Co. Ltd., a New York City-based investment banking and brokerage firm, initiated an arbitration against the Company under New York Stock Exchange rules. Sands alleged that it had the right to receive, for nominal consideration, approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company's common stock. Sands based its claim upon an October 1997 letter agreement that was purported by Sands to confirm an agreement appointing Sands as the exclusive financial advisor to Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company that was acquired in late 1997. In exchange, the letter agreement purported to grant Sands the right to acquire 17% of Generex Pharmaceuticals common stock for nominal consideration. Sands claimed that its right to receive shares of Generex Pharmaceuticals common stock applies to the Company's common stock since outstanding shares of Generex Pharmaceuticals common stock were converted into shares of the Company's common stock in the acquisition. Sands' claims also included additional shares allegedly due as a fee related to that acquisition, and $144,000 in monthly fees allegedly due under the terms of the purported agreement. Pursuant to an arbitration award dated September 22, 1999, the arbitration panel that heard this case awarded Sands $14,070 and issued a declaratory judgment requiring the Company to issue to Sands a warrant to purchase 1,530,020 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the purported October 1997 letter agreement. On October 13, 1999, Sands commenced a special proceeding to confirm the arbitration award in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the "New York Supreme Court"). On November 10, 1999, the Company moved to vacate the arbitration award. On March 20, 2000, the New York Supreme Court granted Sands' petition to confirm the award and denied the Company's motion to vacate the award. The Company appealed and on January 23, 2001, the New York State Appellate Division, First Department (the "Appellate Division"), modified the judgment of the New York Supreme Court that had confirmed the arbitration award against the Company. The Appellate Division affirmed the portion of the New York Supreme Court judgment that had confirmed the granting of monetary relief of $14,070 to Sands but modified the judgment to vacate the portion of the arbitration award directing the issuance to Sands of a warrant to purchase 1,530,020 shares of the Company's common stock. The Appellate Division held that the portion of the award directing the Company to issue warrants to Sands is too indefinite to be enforceable and remanded the matter to the arbitration panel for a final and definite award with respect to such relief or its equivalent (including possibly an award of monetary damages). The arbitration panel commenced hearings on the matters remanded by the Appellate Division in June 2001. On November 7, 2001, the arbitration panel issued an award again requiring the Company to issue to Sands a warrant to purchase 1,530,020 shares of the Company's common stock purportedly pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the October 1997 letter agreement. Thereafter, Sands submitted a motion to the New York Supreme Court to modify and confirm the arbitration panel's award while the Company filed a motion with the court to vacate the arbitration award. On February 25, 2002, the New York Supreme Court vacated the arbitration panel's award. At the present time, the Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding or to estimate a range of possible loss from this legal proceeding. Therefore, no provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. 7 GENEREX BIOTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. Pending Litigation (continued) In February 2001, a former business associate of the Vice President of Research and Development (VP), and an entity called Centrum Technologies Inc. commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and the VP seeking, among other things, damages for alleged breaches of contract and tortious acts related to a business relationship between this former associate and the VP that ceased in July 1996. The plaintiffs' statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if any, by the Company of three patents allegedly owned by the company called Centrum Technologies Inc. On July 20, 2001, the Company filed a preliminary motion to dismiss the action of Centrum Technologies Inc. as a nonexistent entity or, alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of authority of such entity to commence the action and, in the further alternative, to dismiss such action for failure to produce documents referred to in the statement of claim. On December 6, 2001, the Company's preliminary motion to dismiss the action of Centrum Technologies Inc. was heard and granted. The Company intends to continue its vigorous defense of this legal proceeding. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding. In February 1997, a former employee of Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for wrongful dismissal. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff for approximately $127,000 plus interest in November 1999 and further awarded costs to the plaintiff in March 2000. An appeal of the judgment was filed with the Court of Appeal for Ontario in April 2000. The Company intends to continue its vigorous defense of this action. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this legal proceeding will have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. The Company has established a reserve for potential loss contingencies related to the resolution of this legal proceeding, the amount of which of is not material to the consolidated financial position of the Company. In March 1999, a former consultant to the Company commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company seeking approximately $94,000 and 1,465 shares of the Company's Common Stock for alleged breach of contract damages and additional amounts in punitive damages. In April 1999, the Company filed a counterclaim for monies the Company believes are due to the Company from this former consultant. The parties have completed discovery and the trial date of this action is scheduled to commence the week of April 8, 2002. The Company intends to continue its vigorous defense of this action. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this legal proceeding will have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. The Company has established a reserve for potential loss contingencies related to the resolution of this legal proceeding, the amount of which of is not material to the consolidated financial position of the Company. The Company is involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those specifically described herein. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, the Company does not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. 8 GENEREX BIOTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 5.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward Looking Statements We have made statements in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and elsewhere in this Report that may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by introductory words such as "expects", "plans", "intends", "believes", "will", "estimates", "forecasts", "projects" or words of similar meaning, and by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Our forward-looking statements address, among other things: o the status of activities under our development and license agreement with Eli Lilly and Company; o the status of activities under our joint venture with Elan; o our other clinical and product development programs and other aspects of our business plans; o the development of additional products using our buccal delivery technology; o our financing goals, plans and future needs; and o our expectations of when regulatory approvals will be received or other actions will be taken by parties other than us. Any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They may be affected by inaccurate assumptions that we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could affect future results are: o the inherent uncertainties of product development based on a new and as yet not fully proven drug delivery technology; o the risks and uncertainties regarding the actual effect on humans of seemingly safe and efficacious formulations when tested clinically; o the inherent uncertainties associated with identification and initial development of product candidates; o the inherent uncertainties associated with clinical trials of product candidates; 10 o the inherent uncertainties associated with the process of obtaining regulatory approval to market product candidates; and o adverse developments in our collaboration with Lilly regarding buccal insulin, which is currently our only product candidate that has moved beyond preliminary research and development. Additional factors that could affect future results are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001. We caution investors that the forward-looking statements contained in this Report must be interpreted and understood in light of conditions and circumstances that exist as of the date of this Report. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise forward-looking statements made in this Report to reflect any changes in management's expectations resulting from future events or changes in the conditions or circumstances upon which such expectations are based. General Corporate History. We were incorporated in Delaware in September 1997 for the purpose of acquiring Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Canadian corporation formed in November 1995 to engage in pharmaceutical and biotechnological research and other activities. Our acquisition of Generex Pharmaceuticals was completed in October 1997 in a transaction in which the holders of all outstanding shares of Generex Pharmaceuticals exchanged their shares for shares of our common stock. In January 1998, we participated in a "reverse acquisition" with Green Mt. P. S., Inc., a previously inactive Idaho corporation formed in 1983. As a result of this transaction, our shareholders (the former shareholders of Generex Pharmaceuticals) acquired a majority (approximately 90%) of the outstanding capital stock of Green Mt., we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Mt., Green Mt. changed its corporate name to Generex Biotechnology Corporation ("Generex Idaho"), and we changed our corporate name to GBC Delaware, Inc. Because the reverse acquisition resulted in our shareholders becoming the majority holders of Generex Idaho, we were treated as the acquiring corporation in the transaction for accounting purposes. Thus, our historical financial statements, which essentially represented the historical financial statements of Generex Pharmaceuticals, were deemed to be the historical financial statements of Generex Idaho. In April 1999, we completed a reorganization in which we merged with Generex Idaho. In this transaction, all outstanding shares of Generex Idaho were converted into our shares, Generex Idaho ceased to exist as a separate entity, and we changed our corporate name back to "Generex Biotechnology Corporation". This reorganization did not result in any material change in our historical financial statements or current financial reporting. Business History. We are engaged in the development of proprietary drug delivery technology. Our principal business focus has been to develop a technology for buccal delivery (absorption through the inner cheek walls) of large molecule drugs, i.e., drugs composed of molecules with molecular weights above a specified level. Large molecule drugs historically have been administered only by injection because their size inhibits or precludes absorption if administered by oral, transdermal, transnasal or other means. 11 Our first product is an insulin formulation that is administered as a fine spray into the oral cavity using a hand-held aerosol spray applicator. Between January 1999 and September 2000, we conducted clinical trials on this product in the United States, Canada and Europe. In September 2000, we entered into an agreement to develop this product with Eli Lilly and Company. Under this agreement (the "Lilly Agreement"), Lilly is responsible for conducting clinical trials of the product, securing regulatory approvals and marketing on a worldwide basis. We received $1,000,000 in connection with our entry into the agreement and will receive certain other initial fees and milestone payments subject to the attainment of certain product development milestones, as well as royalty payments based on product sales should any products be approved for commercial sale. Lilly also has the option to develop certain additional products using our buccal delivery technology depending on the success of the initial product. In January 2001, we established a joint venture with Elan International Services, Ltd. ("EIS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elan Corporation, plc (EIS and Elan Corporation, plc being collectively referred to as "Elan"), to pursue the application of certain of our and Elan's drug delivery technologies, including our platform technology for the buccal delivery of pharmaceutical products, for the treatment of prostate cancer, endometriosis and/or the suppression of testosterone and estrogen. In January 2002, we and Elan agreed to expand the joint venture to encompass the buccal delivery of morphine for the treatment of pain and agreed to pursue buccal morphine as the initial pharmaceutical product for development under the joint venture. The joint venture is being conducted through Generex (Bermuda), Ltd., a Bermuda limited liability company. In connection with the formation of the joint venture in January 2001, EIS purchased 1,000 shares of a new series of our preferred stock, designated as Series A Preferred Stock, for $12,015,000. We applied the proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock to subscribe for an 80.1% equity ownership interest in Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. EIS paid in capital of $2,985,000 to subscribe for a 19.9% equity ownership interest in the joint venture entity. While we presently own 80.1% of the joint venture entity, EIS has the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase its ownership up to 50% by exchanging the Series A Preferred Stock for 30.1% of our equity ownership of the joint venture entity. Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. has been granted non-exclusive licenses to utilize our buccal delivery technology and certain Elan drug delivery technologies. In January 2001, using the funds from its initial capitalization, Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. paid a non-refundable license fee of $15,000,000 to Elan in consideration for being granted the rights to utilize the Elan drug delivery technologies. Our buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that we believe has application to a significant number of large molecule drugs in addition to insulin and morphine. In the future, we expect to undertake development of additional products based on this technology that are not covered by the Lilly Agreement or the joint venture with Elan. 12 Results of Operations We have been in the development stage since inception and have not generated any operating revenues to date, other than $1,000,000 in revenues received in connection with the signing of the Lilly Agreement. To account for the effect of restatements disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2001, the Company's financial information for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2001 has been restated to recognize additional compensation expense related to stock options issued to a consultant. Our net loss for the quarter ended January 31, 2002, was $3,558,703, versus $14,950,305 for the corresponding quarter of the prior fiscal year. The net loss in the prior fiscal year included the effect of the accounting treatment for our joint venture with Elan, which resulted in a $15,000,000 research and development expense for the license fee paid by Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. to Elan for technology rights that was partially offset by $2,985,000 of minority interest (reflecting Elan's 19.9% ownership of the joint venture entity). Excluding the effect of the joint venture with Elan, our net loss quarter to quarter increased by approximately $0.6 million, reflecting increased research and development expenses (primarily due to ongoing research and development activities under our collaboration with Lilly as well as proof of concept activities related to buccal morphine) and decreased interest income (due to lower short term interest rates), partially offset by decreased general and administrative expenses (primarily due to decreased compensation expenses associated with consultants). Our net loss for the six months ended January 31, 2002, was $6,141,938, versus $16,094,512 for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The prior fiscal year period included the net negative effect of the accounting treatment for our joint venture with Elan, which was partially offset by the $1,000,000 Lilly Agreement signing fee received during the prior fiscal year period. Excluding these items, our net loss for the current period versus the prior fiscal year period increased by approximately $1.07 million, primarily reflecting significantly increased operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased research and development expenses (reflecting the increased level of research and development activities, particularly in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, partially offset by the absence in the current period of expenses related to the construction and set up of our pilot manufacturing facility) and increased general and administrative expenses (reflecting the executive bonuses paid and higher legal expenses incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2002). During January 2002, we issued 60 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock to an affiliate of Elan in payment of the 6% annual stock dividend that was required to be paid on the 1,000 outstanding shares of such stock (which were issued in January 2001 as part of our joint venture with Elan). This resulted in a non-cash charge to accumulated deficit of $720,900 that increased the "net loss available to common stockholders" for the three months and six months ended January 31, 2002 by a corresponding amount. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources To date we have financed our development stage activities primarily through private placements of common stock and contract research and milestone payments. At January 31, 2002, we had cash and short term investments (primarily notes of United States corporations) of approximately $29.45 million. At July 31, 2001, our cash and short term investments were approximately $37 million. The decrease was attributable to the use of cash for ongoing operations. 13 We believe that our current cash position is sufficient to meet all of our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months based on the pace of our current development activities (including our activities under the Lilly Agreement and under our joint venture with Elan). Beyond that, we may require additional funds to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise funds through private or public equity financing or from other sources. If we were unable to raise additional capital as needed, we could be required to "scale back" or otherwise revise our business plan. Any significant scale back of operations or modification of our business plan due to a lack of funding could be expected to materially and adversely affect our prospects. In the past we have funded most of our development and other costs with equity financing. While we have been able to raise equity capital as required, unforeseen problems with our clinical program or materially negative developments in general economic conditions could interfere with our ability to raise additional equity capital as needed, or materially adversely affect the terms upon which such capital is available. Transactions with Affiliates On May 3, 2001, the Company's three senior officers, who are also shareholders of the Company, were advanced $334,300 each, in exchange for promissory notes. These notes bear interest at 8.5 percent per annum and are payable in full on May 1, 2002. These notes are guaranteed by a related company owned by these officers and secured by a pledge of 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock currently owned by this related company. As of January 31, 2002, the balance outstanding on these notes, including accrued interest, was $1,068,691. Prior to January 1, 1999, a portion of our general and administrative expenses resulted from transactions with affiliated persons, and a number of capital transactions also involved affiliated persons. Although these transactions were not the result of "arms-length" negotiations, we do not believe that this fact had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. Prior to December 31, 1998, we classified certain payments to executive officers for compensation and expense reimbursements as "Research and development - related party" because the executive officers received such payments through personal services corporations rather than directly. After December 31, 1998, these payments have been and will continue to be accounted for as though the payments were made directly to the officers, and not as a related party transaction. We do not foresee a need for, and therefore do not anticipate, any related party transactions in the current fiscal year. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, 1999, and 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, respectively. These statements require companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The adoption on August 1, 2000 of these statements did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. 14 In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenues in financial statements of all public registrants. In October 2000, the SEC issued a Frequently Asked Questions document related to SAB 101 that provides interpretive guidance. We adopted SAB 101 in fiscal year 2001, and the adoption of SAB 101 did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141 is applicable to business combinations beginning July 1, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination whether acquired individually or with a group of other assets. Goodwill and intangible assets previously recorded, in our financial statements, will be affected by the provisions of SFAS No. 142. This statement provides that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized and that intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill will not be amortized, but will rather be tested at least annually for impairment. SFAS No. 142 will be effective for our fiscal year 2002, however management is assessing the impact that SFAS No. 142 will have on our financial position and results of operations. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard. 15 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are not presently subject to any material market risk exposures. We are exposed to market risk associated with interest rate changes and changes in the exchange rate between US and Canadian currencies. We have neither issued nor own any long term debt instruments, or any other financial instruments as to which we would be subject to material risks. At the present time, we maintain our cash in short term government or government guaranteed instruments, short term commercial paper, interest bearing bank deposits or demand bank deposits which do not earn interest. A substantial majority of these instruments and deposits are denominated in US dollars, with the exception of funds denominated in Canadian dollars on deposit in Canadian banks to meet short term operating needs in Canada. We do not presently employ any hedging or similar strategy intended to mitigate against losses that could be incurred as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates between US and Canadian currencies. 16 PART II.
