INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Okapi Sciences NV

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Okapi Sciences NV (a development stage company) (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from December 20, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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 from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Okapi Sciences NV as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from December 20, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company devotes substantially all of its efforts to research and development and has incurred losses since inception. Such condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General—OKAPI SCIENCES NV (the “Company” or “Okapi”) (a development stage enterprise) was incorporated on December 20, 2007 under the laws of Belgium. The address of the registered office is Ambachtenlaan 1, 3001 Heverlee, Belgium. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the licensing, development and commercialization of innovative prescription medicines for animals. The Company has licensed and / or is developing four antiviral compounds to treat viral infections in pets: feline herpes (OSDC-12), feline aids (OSDC-2), canine parvo (OSDC-6) and feline calici (OSDC-7); one compound for the treatment of canine lymphoma (OSDC-5); and two compounds to treat viral infections in livestock: classical swine fever (OSDC-3) and foot-and-mouth disease (OSDC-4). The Company has also co-developed a diagnostic kit to detect koi herpes virus (OSDK-1) in carp which is marketed through an independent distributor. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage.

Basis of Presentation—The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Going Concern—The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As the Company devotes substantially all of its efforts to research and development, it has incurred losses since inception. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include potential mergers or business combinations with other entities, potential collaboration agreements, further implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. In the course of 2008, 2010 and 2011 the Company raised 8,500 equity through a so-called round A financing. As disclosed in Note 6, the Company, on December 14, 2012, entered into a convertible bridge loan agreement with certain existing shareholders raising 2,000 in 2012 and 2013. During the course of 2013 management prepared a round B financing and at the same time also considered entering into a business combination that would grant it access to further financing. Note 13 contains subsequent events after the balance sheet date that have improved the Company’s financial position after the balance sheet date, including the signing of a Share Purchase Agreement with a third party on January 6, 2014, that would grant the Company further access to the necessary funding in order to allow it to continue as a going concern.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment—is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Acquisition costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets and starts when the asset is available for use as intended by management. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company did not recognize an impairment in 2012 or 2011.

The range of useful lives for fixed assets is as follows:

 

 

 

     YEARS

Laboratory equipment and machinery

   3 to 5

Office equipment, furniture and fixtures

   3 to 5

Vehicles

   3

Leasehold improvements

   3 to 10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Intangible Assets—relate to purchased software, patents and licenses and are amortized over their economical useful lives (3 to 19 years). Intangible assets with definite lives are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company did not recognize an impairment in 2012 or 2011.

Revenue Recognition—The Company is still in a development stage and no significant revenue is realized from operations. The Company recognized these revenues when all of the following criteria were met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.

Research and Development—Expenditures for own research and development are expensed when incurred.

Grants—The Company receives grants from governmental or semi-governmental institutions and organizations. The Company recognizes such grants when it is probable that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant arrangement and the grant will be received. Government grants are recognized in the statements of operations on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the related costs for which the government grant is intended to compensate. Government grants are typically related to reimbursements for research and development costs incurred and are therefore recognized as a reduction of the related research and development expense in the statements of operations.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—The Company has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

4. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

 

These warrants were granted to our investors in 2008, immediately after the incorporation of the Company, and exercised on October 21, 2011 at a price of 101.54, increasing the Company’s equity by 2,000.

As at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, paid-in capital of the Company was 444, represented by 16,166 common shares and 83,712 Series A preferred shares. Rights attributed to common shares and Series A preferred shares are as follows:

 

  n   Each common share and each Series A preferred share has voting rights. Certain transactions require a qualified majority from the preferred A shareholders.

 

  n   In case of liquidation of the Company, preferred A shareholders will receive liquidation proceeds up to their respective original subscription price plus a compound interest of 8% per year. Subsequently, the remainder of the liquidation proceeds shall be distributed equally.

Next to the common shares and Series A preferred shares, the Company also issued 11,518 profit certificates. These certificates were granted on October 17, 2008 to certain shareholders of the Company in partial remuneration of a contribution in kind. These profit certificates share in the profit of the Company, if any, and have the same voting rights as common shares. Profit certificates are converted to common shares in case of liquidation of the company or change in control. Profit certificates have no face amount under Belgian law.

5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

ASC 718 requires that the Company account for all stock-based compensation transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the fair value of each award as an expense over the service period. The fair value of the Company’s warrants issued for services is based upon the price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of its warrants, as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of each warrant is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used and the resulting fair value of warrants granted:

 

 

 

     2008 WARRANTS     2011 WARRANTS  

Warrants granted

     5,282        500   

Weighted-average assumptions:

    

Expected life

     5.0 years        5.0 years   

Risk-free interest rate

     3 %     1 %

Expected volatility

     50.0 %     50.0 %

Dividend yield

            

Grant date fair value per share

   33.16     31.15  

 

 

The expected life was estimated at issuance based upon historical experience and management’s expectation of exercise behavior. The expected volatility of the Company’s stock price is based on industry practice. The risk-free interest rate is based upon the yield on government bonds having a term similar to the expected warrant life. Dividend yield is estimated at zero because the Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

Stock-based compensation awards vest over time and require continued service to the Company. The amount of compensation expense recognized is based upon the number of warrants that are ultimately expected to vest.

As a result of the Company’s history of operating losses and of the uncertainty regarding future operating results, no income tax benefit has been recognized.

5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

 

As at December 31, 2012 and as at December 31, 2011, the Company had 5,782 warrants outstanding that have not expired or been forfeited. These warrants were granted respectively in 2008 (5,282) and in 2011 (500) and all have an exercise price of 71.08. Each warrant gives the right to purchase one common share of the Company. The exercise of all outstanding warrants would therefore result in a capital increase of 411.

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost at the end of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was respectively 24 and 60.

6. DEBT AND FINANCING AGREEMENTS

On April 12, 2011, the Company entered into a 3 year loan agreement (annual interest rate 3.96%-fixed) with BNP Paribas Fortis Bank for the purchase of a company vehicle. The loan was for a total amount of 23. There was no accrued interest on the balance sheet as at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

On December 14, 2012, the Company entered into a convertible bridge loan agreement (annual interest rate 8.00%-fixed) with certain existing shareholders. The bridge loan is convertible into 21,001 Series A preferred shares.

The bridge loan agreement is for a total amount of 2,000, consisting of two tranches of 1,000 each. The convertible debt was issued without discount or premium and the conversion option does not contain a beneficial conversion feature. The bridge loan contains mandatory conversion features as well as voluntary conversion features in case of change of control or in case the Series B financing does not take place by the end of 2013. The first tranche was paid by the lenders in December 2012 (976) and February 2013 (24). The payment of the second tranche occurred in May 2013 (477), June 2013 (511) and July 2013 (12). On December 31, 2012, there was accrued interest on the balance sheet for an amount of 2.
