Unless otherwise noted, all financial information, share and per share data in this Prospectus assume no issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, options and convertible securities. As used in this Prospectus, the terms "Company" and "Alliance" refer to Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries. THE COMPANY Alliance is a pharmaceutical research and development company that focuses on the application of scientific discoveries which can be developed into innovative drug products. Alliance has entered into agreements with institutions and inventors for the rights to their discoveries and is adding value to these discoveries by defining the product, market and regulatory strategies prior to seeking collaborative relationships with multinational pharmaceutical companies for the delivery of these products to the market. Alliance intends to seek to enter into similar agreements and, through this approach, Alliance believes it can play an important role in the development of innovative pharmaceutical products. Three of the products under development by Alliance are based upon perfluorochemical ("PFC") technologies. The Company's primary drug substance is perflubron, an eight-carbon brominated PFC. Alliance has in various stages of development three products which are based on PFC technologies and which address significant medical needs: Oxygent(TM), an intravascular oxygen carrier designed to reduce the need for donor blood transfusions during surgery, which is in clinical development; LiquiVent(TM), an intrapulmonary agent for use in the treatment of acute respiratory failure, which is in clinical development; and Imagent(R) US, a diagnostic ultrasound imaging agent, which is in preclinical development. In addition, the Company is evaluating its antigenized antibody technology for potential use in the production of novel vaccines and immune modulators. Oxygent (an emulsion containing perflubron) is an intravascular oxygen carrier for use as a temporary "blood substitute" to provide oxygen to tissues during elective surgeries where substantial blood loss is anticipated. Oxygent has several potential advantages over the use of allogeneic (donor) blood: it does not transmit infectious disease, is compatible with all blood types and has a shelf life in excess of one year. Oxygent is intended for use with autologous blood collection techniques including predonation, hemodilution, and salvage. 4 In August 1994, the Company entered into a license agreement (the "License Agreement") with Ortho Biotech, Inc. and The R.W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute, a division of Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, subsidiaries of Johnson & Johnson (collectively referred to as "Ortho"), which provides Ortho with worldwide marketing rights to the Company's injectable PFC emulsions capable of transporting oxygen for therapeutic use, including Oxygent. The Company has conducted early-stage clinical trials with Oxygent in surgical patients. The product will be jointly developed by Alliance and Ortho, with Ortho responsible for substantially all of the remaining costs of development. Ortho will pay Alliance royalties based on sales of the product after commercialization. In conjunction with the License Agreement, Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation purchased $15.0 million of the Company's convertible preferred stock. In addition, Ortho paid Alliance an initial license fee of $4.0 million and will make other payments upon the achievement of certain milestones. LiquiVent (sterile perflubron) is in clinical development for use as an intrapulmonary agent to treat acute respiratory failure, a disorder that can result from many causes, including serious infections, traumatic shock, severe burns and inhalation of toxic substances, and is characterized by impairment of normal lung function. The Company is conducting separate early-stage clinical trials with LiquiVent in premature infants, pediatric patients, and adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome ("ARDS"), the most severe form of acute respiratory failure. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") has granted the Company Subpart E status (expedited review) for development of the product in the treatment of ARDS. Imagent US is a PFC-based intravenous contrast agent for enhancement of ultrasound images of blood flow abnormalities (perfusion defects), which can occur as a result of myocardial infarctions, blood clots, or solid tumors. The product is currently in preclinical development. The Company's fourth current project utilizes its antigenized antibody technology to develop a prototype vaccine for an infectious disease and a prototype tolerogen for an autoimmune disease. Antigenized antibodies use human immunoglobulin as a platform to carry specific peptides to modulate the immune system. Depending on the disease and antigen, antigenized antibodies can be used to either stimulate antibody production (as in a vaccine) to prevent disease or to down-regulate antibody production (as in a tolerogen) to treat certain autoimmune disorders. 5 The Company's headquarters are located at 3040 Science Park Road, San Diego, California 92121, and its telephone number is (619) 558-4300. 6 The Offerings Common Stock offered 2,500,000 shares Common Stock to be outstanding after the Offerings 23,912,370 shares Use of Proceeds To fund preclinical testing and clinical trials, research and development, and other general corporate purposes Nasdaq National Market symbol ALLP

See "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization." 7 RISK FACTORS An investment in the Common Stock offered in the Offerings involves a high degree of risk. The following factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company and its business: Limited Product Revenues; History of Operating Losses. Substantially all of the Company's revenues to date have consisted of licensing fees, milestone payments and payments to fund research and development activities under joint development and license agreements. The Company has had net operating losses since its inception and expects such losses to continue unless and until such time as revenues are sufficient to fund its continuing operations. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $174,492,000, of which approximately $34.3 million reflects non-cash charges from the Company's acquisition by merger of Fluoromed Pharmaceutical, Inc. on February 24, 1989. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Future Capital Needs; Uncertainty of Additional Financing. The Company believes that its existing capital resources, including expected revenues from the License Agreement, investments, and product sales, as well as the net proceeds from the Offerings and income earned thereon, will be adequate to satisfy its capital requirements for approximately 12 months. The Company will need additional financing to support its long- term product development programs. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including continued scientific progress in its research and development programs, progress with preclinical testing and clinical trials, the time and cost involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, patent costs, competing technological and market developments, changes in existing collaborative relationships, the Company's ability to establish development, sales, and marketing arrangements, and the cost of manufacturing scale-up, if necessary. No assurance can be given that adequate financing will be available to the Company in the future. Reliance on Collaborative Partners; Future Collaborations. The Company has entered into the License Agreement to support the development and commercialization of Oxygent and to raise capital. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company has granted significant licensing rights. The Company's strategy is to seek additional collaborations; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate acceptable collaborative arrangements in the future, or that any current or future arrangements will ultimately be successful. Under the License Agreement, the Company will depend on Ortho for development and regulatory approval of products in certain markets. The termination of the License Agreement, which can occur on three months' advance notice, or any other future collaborative arrangement could adversely affect the Company's research, development or, ultimately, product distribution plans. See "Business - Collaborative Relationships." Uncertainty of Development Efforts. The Company's products require substantial development efforts. The Company may encounter unforeseen technological or scientific problems (including side effects) which may force abandonment or substantial change in the development of a specific product or process, or technological change or product developments by others, any of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -Liquidity and Capital Resources." Government Regulation. The production and marketing of the Company's products and its research and development activities are subject to regulation for safety and efficacy by numerous government authorities in the United States and other countries. To date, the Company has received regulatory approval for the commercial sale of only two of its products. Clinical 8 trials and the marketing and manufacturing of the Company's products are subject to the testing and approval process of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities. The process of obtaining regulatory clearances or approvals is costly and time consuming. The Company cannot predict how long preclinical and clinical trials will take or whether they will be successful; nor can the Company predict how long the necessary regulatory approvals or clearances will take. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the necessary clearances or approvals will be obtained, or obtained on a timely basis. Delays in obtaining regulatory approval in the United States or other countries would adversely affect the marketing of products developed by the Company. The effect of governmental regulations which might arise from future legislative or administrative action cannot be predicted. See "Business - Government Regulation." Health Care Reimbursement and Reform. The Company's ability to commercialize its products will depend in part on the availability to end- users of reimbursement for the cost of the Company's products and related treatment by government health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers and other organizations. The reimbursement status of newly approved health care products is uncertain and there can be no assurance that adequate patient insurance coverage will be available to permit the Company to maintain price levels sufficient for the realization of a satisfactory return on its investment in product development. In addition, the public and the federal government have recently focused significant attention on reforming the health care system in the United States. A number of health care reform measures have been suggested, including price controls on pharmaceutical products. Public discussion of such measures is likely to continue, and concerns about the potential effects on different proposals have been reflected in the volatility of the stock prices for companies in the health care and related industries. The adoption of such reform proposals could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its businesses. Limited Manufacturing Capability and Experience. The Company currently operates a pilot manufacturing facility and has constructed an intermediate scale-up manufacturing plant at its San Diego headquarters for the production of perflubron-based emulsions for use in research and development and clinical trials. The Company believes that, if such products are approved by the FDA, the intermediate scale-up plant has adequate capacity to support the market introduction of its emulsion products. However, there can be no assurance that FDA approval will be obtained or obtained on a timely basis. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Ortho may elect to manufacture the product itself after market introduction, or continue to require the Company to do so at a negotiated price. If it is required to manufacture the product, the Company will need to construct a commercial production facility. The Company has not selected a site or obtained any regulatory approvals. Construction of a facility will depend upon regulatory approvals, product development and capital resources, among other things. See "Business - Manufacturing." 9 Unpredictability of Patent Protection; Proprietary Technology. The Company believes that its success will depend largely on its ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for its own inventions and licenses for the use of patents owned by third parties. The Company has obtained patents covering certain intermediate and high concentration PFC emulsions. The Company has filed, and when appropriate will file, other patent applications with respect to its products and processes in the United States and in foreign countries. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will develop any additional products and processes which may be patentable or that any additional patents will be issued. It is possible that patents issued to the Company or any patents licensed to the Company may be challenged successfully, that the Company may infringe patents of third parties unintentionally, and that the Company may have to alter its products or manufacturing processes to take into account the patents of third parties, causing additional unexpected costs and delays in product development. The Company also attempts to protect its proprietary products and processes by relying on trade secret laws and non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with its employees and certain other persons who have access to its products or processes. No assurance can be given that others will not develop such products or processes independently or obtain access to such products or processes. To the extent that others develop or obtain similar products or processes, the Company's competitive position may be affected adversely. See "Business - Patents." Dependence Upon Key Personnel. The Company's success in developing marketable products and achieving a competitive position will depend, in part, on its ability to retain qualified scientific and management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to retain such personnel. Scientific advisors to the Company are employed by or have consulting arrangements with third parties which may conflict with their obligations to the Company. The Company's anticipated growth and expansion into technologies will require additional expertise and are expected to place additional demands on the Company's management and financial resources. Competition; Rapid Technological Change. Competition in the health care field is intense. The Company faces competition from larger companies which have substantially greater research and development, managerial, and financial resources. Such competitors may develop more effective products on a more timely basis. Rapid technological development may result in the Company's products or processes becoming obsolete before they are marketed or before the 10 Company recovers a significant portion of the related research, development, and commercialization expenses. See "Business - Competition." Product Liability Claims and Uninsured Risks. Products or processes that may be developed, licensed, or sold by the Company may expose the Company to potential liability from claims by end-users of such products or of products manufactured by such processes, or by manufacturers or others selling such products, either directly or as a component of other products. The Company currently maintains limited product liability insurance coverage. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain such coverage or obtain additional coverage on acceptable terms, or that such insurance will provide adequate coverage against all potential claims. Volatility of Stock Price; Liquidation Preference; and Lack of Dividends. The market prices for securities of biopharmaceutical companies have historically been highly volatile. Announcements concerning the Company or its competitors, including the results of testing and clinical trials, technological innovations, or commercial products, government regulations, developments concerning proprietary rights, including patents and litigation matters, a change in status of a corporate partner, public concern relating to the commercial value or safety of the Company's products and stock market conditions in general may have a significant impact on the price of the Common Stock. The Company has 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Such preferred stock is entitled to an annual $0.50 per share preferential dividend, and has a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock since its inception and does not intend to pay any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, the Company is required to pay cumulative dividends on its outstanding preferred stock prior to paying any dividends on its Common Stock. The Company has incurred losses and, thus, has had a deficiency in fixed charges and preferred stock dividend coverage since inception. For the years ended June 30, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994 and the six months ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 the coverage deficiency was $12,461,000, $17,702,000, $21,766,000, $26,380,000, $36,946,000, $17,737,000 and $15,368,000, respectively. Shares Eligible for Future Sales. As of December 31, 1994, 3,256,688 shares of Common Stock (or 13% of the total number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis) are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. Additional shares may be issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock. The existence of such outstanding warrants, options and convertible securities, as well as certain registration rights, may adversely affect the terms on which the Company may obtain additional equity financing. The holders of the outstanding warrants and options are likely to exercise their securities at a time when the Company would otherwise be able to obtain capital on terms more favorable than those provided by the exercise or conversion prices thereof. Immediate and Substantial Dilution. Investors in the Offerings will experience immediate and substantial dilution in book value per share. See "Dilution." 11 USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds from the Offerings are estimated to be $13,506,000, assuming a public offering price of $5.875 per share. Such net proceeds will be used to fund research, preclinical testing, and clinical trials for the Company's products under development, and for other general corporate purposes. Pending such application, the Company intends to deposit such proceeds in interest-bearing bank accounts or to invest them in short-term, high-grade, interest-bearing securities. The Company believes it will need additional financing to support its long-term product development programs. No assurance can be given that adequate financing will be available to the Company. See "Risk Factors-Future Capital Needs; Uncertainty of Additional Financing" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources." DILUTION As of December 31, 1994, the net tangible book value of the Company was approximately $31,446,000, or $1.37 per share. "Net tangible book value per share" represents the amount of total tangible assets of the Company reduced by the total liabilities and divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (after giving effect to the conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock on a one to one basis). After giving effect to the sale of the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock offered in the Offerings, at an assumed public offering price of $5.875 per share, the pro forma net tangible book value of the Common Stock as of December 31, 1994 (after the deduction of the Placement Agents' fee and other estimated expenses of the Offerings) would have been approximately $44,952,000, or $1.77 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.40 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $4.11 per share to new investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in the Offerings. "Dilution per share" represents the difference between the price per share of Common Stock paid by the new investors in the Offerings and the net tangible book value per share at December 31, 1994 as adjusted to give effect to the Offerings. The following table illustrates the dilution per share taking into account estimated expenses of the Offerings:
Assumed public offering price per share.......................... $5.88 Net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 1994........ $1.372 Increase to present shareholders attributable to the Offerings... .40 ----- Pro forma net tangible book value per share after the Offerings.. 1.77 ----- Dilution to investors in the Offerings........................... $4.11 =====
The foregoing calculations take into account the Placement Agents' fee and other estimated expenses of the Offerings. See "Plan of Distribution." 12 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company at December 31, 1994 and as adjusted to give effect to the sale of the Common Stock offered in the Offerings and the application of the net proceeds therefrom.

14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (References to years are to the Company's fiscal years ended June 30.) Alliance has devoted substantial resources to research and development related to its pharmaceutical products based upon perfluorochemical ("PFC") and emulsion technologies. The Company has been unprofitable since inception and expects to incur operating losses for at least the next several years due to continued requirements for research and development, preclinical testing and clinical trials, regulatory activities, commercial manufacturing start-up, and the establishment of a sales and marketing organization and/or arrangements therefor. The amount of net losses and the time required by the Company to achieve profitability are highly uncertain. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve profitability at all or on a sustained basis. Liquidity and Capital Resources Through December 1994, the Company financed its activities primarily from public and private sales of equity and funding from marketing and related agreements with corporate partners. In August 1994, the Company and Ortho entered into the License Agreement, which granted to Ortho a worldwide exclusive license to market injectable PFC emulsions capable of transporting oxygen for therapeutic use, including Oxygent (a temporary blood substitute). As a result of the License Agreement, license and research revenues are expected to continue to increase in 1995. Under the License Agreement, Ortho paid to Alliance an initial fee of $4.0 million and will make additional payments upon the achievement of certain milestones. Ortho is responsible for substantially all the remaining costs of developing the products and will pay Alliance a royalty based upon sales of products after commercialization. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had recorded a receivable of $3.1 million (received in February 1995), representing funding due from Ortho for development costs incurred. In conjunction with the License Agreement, Johnson & Johnson Development Corp. ("J&JDC") purchased 1.5 million shares of Alliance convertible preferred stock for $15.0 million and obtained a three year warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of Alliance Common Stock at $15 per share. The Company has financed substantially all of its office and research facilities and related leasehold improvements under operating lease arrangements. The Company had net working capital of $20.9 million at December 31, 1994, compared to $19.4 million at June 30, 1994. The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments declined to $20.1 million at December 31, 1994, from $21.1 million at June 30, 1994. The decrease resulted primarily from cash used for operating expenses of $18.7 million and from property, plant, and equipment additions of $0.5 million. These uses of cash were offset by $15.0 million received from the sale of convertible preferred stock to J&JDC and from $4.0 million of license revenue attributable to the License Agreement. Capital expenditures for 1995 are expected to be comparable to those incurred during 1994. The Company's operations 15 to date have consumed substantial amounts of cash, and are expected to continue to do so over the foreseeable future. During 1994, Alliance provided approximately $1.1 million to a majority- owned subsidiary of the Company, Astral, Inc. ("Astral"), for its research activities. During the six months ended December 31, 1994, Alliance provided an additional approximately $1.1 million to Astral for its research activities. The Company intends to consider additional technologies that may be available to Astral or it for licensing and/or research agreements. The Company intends to seek outside sources of funding for the operations of Astral or to fund any such other agreements. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If new license and research agreements are added and outside sources of funding are not available, research funding for these activities is expected to increase significantly. The Company continually reviews its product development activities in an effort to allocate its resources to those product candidates that the Company believes have the greatest commercial potential. Factors considered by the Company in determining the products to pursue include projected markets, the medical need for such products, potential for regulatory approval and reimbursement under the existing health care system, technical feasibility, expected and known product attributes, and estimated costs to bring the product to market. Based on these and other factors, the Company may from time to time reallocate its resources among its product development activities. Additions to products under development or changes in products being pursued can substantially and rapidly change the Company's funding requirements. In December 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with its primary supplier of raw material for certain products. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is obligated to fund the supplier at defined minimum levels. All costs associated with the contract are charged to expense as incurred. The Company expects to incur substantial additional expenditures associated with product development. The Company will seek additional collaborative research and development relationships with suitable corporate partners for its non-licensed products. There can be no assurance that such relationships, if any, will successfully reduce the Company's funding requirements. 16 Alliance anticipates that its current capital resources, including expected revenues from the License Agreement, its investments, product sales, and the net proceeds from the Offerings, including income earned thereon, will be adequate to satisfy its capital requirements and fund current and planned operations for approximately twelve months. If the net proceeds of the Offerings are not sufficient, the Company will have to seek other sources of financing. There can be no assurance that funds from these sources would be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay, scale back, or eliminate one or more of its product development programs, or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies, product candidates, or products that the Company would not otherwise relinquish. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including continued scientific progress in its research and development programs, progress with preclinical testing and clinical trials, the time and cost involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, patent costs, competing technological and market developments, changes in existing collaborative relationships, the ability of the Company to establish development arrangements, the cost of manufacturing scale-up, if necessary, and the establishment of an effective sales and marketing organization and/or arrangements therefor. While the Company believes that it can produce materials for the initial market launch of its emulsion products at its existing San Diego facility, it may need to expand its commercial manufacturing capability for all of its products in the future. This expansion may occur in stages, each of which would require regulatory approval, and product demand could at times exceed supply capacity. The Company has not selected a site or obtained any regulatory approvals for construction of a commercial production facility for its products. The projected location and completion date of any production facility will depend upon regulatory and development activities, among other factors. The Company cannot predict the amount that it will expend for the construction of such a production facility, and there can be no assurance as to when or whether the FDA will determine that such facility conforms with Good Manufacturing Practices. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Ortho may elect to manufacture the emulsion products referred to therein, or require the Company to manufacture such products at a negotiated price. The Company's business is subject to significant risks, including the uncertainties associated with the lengthy regulatory approval process, obtaining and enforcing patents important to the Company's business, and possible competition from other products. Even if the Company's products appear promising at an early stage of development, they may not reach the market for a number of reasons. Such reasons include, but are not limited to, the possibilities that the potential products will be found ineffective or harmful during clinical trials, failure to receive necessary regulatory approvals, difficulties in manufacturing on a large scale, failure to obtain market acceptance, and the inability to commercialize because of proprietary rights of third parties. The research, development, and market introduction of new products will require the application of considerable technical and financial resources by Alliance, while revenues generated from such products, assuming they are developed successfully, may not be realized for several years. Other material and unpredictable factors which could affect operating results include, without limitation, the uncertainty of the timing of product approvals and introductions and of sales growth; the ability to obtain necessary raw materials at cost effective prices or at all; the effect of possible technology and/or other business acquisitions or transactions; and the increasing 17 emphasis on controlling health care costs and potential legislation or regulation of health care pricing. The Company and certain of its officers and directors are named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by certain stockholders in September 1992. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend vigorously against the claims brought by the stockholders in the action. The Company believes the eventual outcome of the litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. Results of Operations Six Months Ended December 31, 1994 as Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 1993 The Company's license and research revenue increased to $7.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994, compared to $102,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1993. The increase was due to $4.0 million of license and $3.1 million of research revenues derived from the License Agreement. The Company expects license and research revenue to increase significantly during 1995, compared to 1994, due to the License Agreement. The Company incurred total operating expenses of $22.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994. Operating expenses include a $2.9 million charge for purchases of raw material for certain products currently being developed, $1.8 million for Oxygent (temporary blood substitute) costs incurred prior to execution of the License Agreement, $0.5 million for products no longer promoted or developed by Alliance, and a $1.7 million charge for capitalized product rights. The $2.9 million charge for purchase of raw materials arises under a December 1993 agreement the Company entered into with its primary supplier. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to fund the supplier at defined minimum levels. All costs associated with the contract are charged to research and development expense as incurred. In January 1994, the Company regained from Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH ("BII") all marketing and manufacturing rights to Imagent (diagnostic imaging agents) and Oxygent products outside of North America. In conjunction with the acquisition of the marketing and manufacturing rights from BII, the Company recorded product rights of $1.8 million, based on the value of warrants issued to acquire the rights. The unamortized portion ($1.7 million) of these product rights was charged to research and development expense when the Company licensed these product rights to Ortho. Research and development expenses increased by 22% to $19.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994, compared to $15.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 1993. The growth in expenses is primarily a result of the increases discussed above and increased staffing to support growth in research and development efforts. These expenses were partially offset by a reduction in payments to universities and outside consultants. General and administrative expenses increased by 17% to $4.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994, compared to $3.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 18 1993. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased professional fees. Investment income and other was $575,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1994, compared to $951,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1993. The decline was primarily a result of lower average cash balances. Operating losses may fluctuate from period to period as a result of differences in the timing of revenues earned and expenses incurred and such fluctuations may be substantial. The Company's historical results are not necessarily indicative of future results. Fiscal Year 1994 as Compared to Fiscal Year 1993 The Company had net product revenue of $246,000 for 1994 compared to $50,000 for 1993. In August 1993, the Company received FDA approval to market Imagent/(R)/ GI, a product developed and marketed by the Company. The increase in net product revenue from 1993 to 1994 was primarily attributable to sales of Imagent GI and Sat Pad /TM/ (also developed and marketed by the Company). Sales of Imagent GI and Sat Pad have not been expected to provide significant revenue to the Company, and substantial increases are not anticipated. In September 1994, the Company discontinued promotional activities for Imagent GI. The majority of the Company's products are in development stage and there can be no assurance as to whether or when it will be able to increase its revenues significantly. License and research revenue decreased to $163,000 for 1994 compared to $2.3 million for 1993. The Company's 1993 license and research revenue was primarily derived from its agreements with BII (the "BII Agreements"). In July 1993, the BII Agreements were modified, which resulted in BII discontinuing all contract payments. Research and development expenses increased by 28% to $31.6 million for 1994 compared to $24.8 million for 1993. The growth in expenses reflects increases in staffing, costs of preclinical testing and clinical trials, and additional laboratory supplies and equipment associated with the growth of the Company's research and development efforts. Due to the Company's discontinuance of Imagent GI promotional activities, the Company reduced its perflubron inventories to the estimated net realizable value from sales of Imagent GI, resulting in a charge of $2.1 million. The Company expects that research and development expenses for 1995 will increase at a rate comparable to that experienced in 1994. General and administrative expenses increased by 14% to $7.3 million for 1994 compared to $6.4 million for 1993. The increases were principally due to increases in staffing to support the 19 growth of product research and development efforts and professional fees. General and administrative expenses for 1995 are expected to increase at a rate comparable to that experienced in 1994. Investment and other income was $1.6 million for 1994 compared to $2.4 million for 1993. The decline in investment revenue was primarily a result of lower average cash and short-term investment balances. Fiscal Year 1993 as Compared to Fiscal Year 1992 The Company's revenues increased by 31% to $2.4 million for 1993 compared to $1.8 million in 1992. The Company's revenues were primarily derived from the BII Agreements. License and research revenue, including reimbursement of clinical trial costs primarily from BII, totaled $2.3 million for 1993 compared to $1.8 million in 1992. For 1993, the Company had net product revenue of $50,000 compared to $9,000 in 1992. The increase in net product revenue from 1992 to 1993 was primarily attributable to revenue from Sat Pad sales which commenced in March 1993. Research and development expenses increased by 18% to $24.8 million for 1993 compared to $20.9 million for 1992. The growth in expenses reflects increases in staffing, costs of clinical trials and preclinical testing, additional laboratory supplies and equipment, and expansion of the Company's facilities associated with the growth of its research and development efforts. In addition, the Company incurred a one-time charge of $1.7 million in 1992 related to its acquisition of BioPulmonics, Inc. General and administrative expenses increased by 23% to $6.4 million for 1993 compared to $5.2 million for 1992. The increases were principally due to increases in staffing and the expansion of the Company's facilities to support the growth in product research and development efforts. Interest income was $2.4 million for 1993 compared to $2.9 million for 1992. The decline in interest revenue was primarily a result of lower average cash balances and decreases in available market interest rates. Interest expense was $6,000 for 1993 compared to $349,000 for 1992. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of the conversion of the $8.0 million of subordinated notes to shares of the Company's common stock in November 1991. 20 BUSINESS OVERVIEW Alliance is a pharmaceutical research and development company that focuses on the application of scientific discoveries which can be developed into innovative drug products. Based on its perfluorochemical technologies, the Company has two drug products in early clinical studies: Oxygent/TM/, for use as a temporary oxygen carrier to reduce or eliminate the requirement for allogeneic (donor) blood transfusions during elective surgery ("blood substitute"); and LiquiVent/TM/, an intrapulmonary drug for use in treating patients with acute respiratory failure to reduce the morbidity associated with conventional mechanical ventilation therapy. Imagent/(R)/ US, a PFC-based contrast agent for enhancement of ultrasound images of blood flow abnormalities (perfusion defects), which can occur as a result of myocardial infarction, blood clots, or solid tumors is in the preclinical phase. The Company is also in early research and development of antigenized antibody technology for potential use in producing novel vaccines directed against infectious diseases and for use in regulating autoimmune disorders. Over the past several years, the health care industry has experienced significant and rapid change. One of these changes is the rapid pace at which scientific discoveries are being made. These discoveries often occur in the universities and medical centers where the researchers and clinicians work toward identifying the basic causes of disease and potential targets for new therapies. The Company believes that research and development companies such as Alliance are in a position to collaborate with inventors to develop innovative pharmaceutical products based on the intellectual property arising from these discoveries. Alliance has developed significant experience defining pharmaceutical formulation, designing manufacturing processes, conducting preclinical pharmacology and toxicology studies, and conducting early-phase human testing in accordance with regulatory guidelines. The final phase of drug development requires greater resources and involves the completion of late-phase human testing, obtaining worldwide regulatory approvals, building large-scale manufacturing capacity, and implementing marketing strategies. Multinational pharmaceutical companies with established capabilities and expertise are in a stronger position to perform these tasks. Alliance has entered into agreements with institutions and inventors for the rights to their discoveries and is adding value to these discoveries by defining the product, market and regulatory strategies prior to seeking collaborative relationships with multinational pharmaceutical companies for the delivery of these products to the market. Alliance intends to seek to enter into similar agreements and, through this approach, Alliance believes it can play an important role in the development of innovative pharmaceutical products. PRODUCTS 21 Three of the products currently under development by Alliance are based upon perfluorochemical ("PFC") technologies. PFCs are clear, colorless and non-flammable liquids, are twice as dense as water, and are biochemically inert. Alliance's primary drug substance is perflubron (perfluorooctyl bromide), an eight-carbon brominated PFC that, along with other attributes, produces a stable emulsion. OXYGENT. Oxygent (an emulsion containing perflubron) is an intravascular oxygen carrier for use as a temporary "blood substitute" to provide oxygen to tissues during elective surgeries where substantial blood loss is anticipated. Oxygent has several potential advantages over the use of allogeneic (donor) blood; it does not transmit infectious disease, is compatible with all blood types and has a shelf life exceeding one year. According to the 1994 estimates of The National Institutes of Health, the risks per unit of blood transfused in the U.S. are 1:2,500 for bacterial infections; 1:3,000 for hepatitis; 1:100,000 for fatal hemolytic reactions (clerical error); and 1:250,000 for HIV infections (AIDS). To avoid these risks, certain techniques can be employed that allow use of the patient's own (autologous) blood. These techniques include (1) predonation, in which patients donate several units of their blood in the six weeks leading up to surgery, (2) perioperative hemodilution, in which several units of their blood are removed just prior to the surgery and are replaced with a plasma expander, and (3) salvage, where a "cell saver" is used to collect shed blood lost during the surgical procedure. In the future, drugs such as erythropoietin, serine protease inhibitors, and oxygen-carrying drugs may increase the utilization of these techniques by improving both their safety and effectiveness. Oxygent is intended for use with any of the above-mentioned autologous blood collection techniques. During surgery, when a blood transfusion is indicated, Oxygent would be given instead to maintain an adequate level of oxygen delivery despite a lower red blood cell concentration, thereby delaying the need for transfusion. This delay allows for the majority of the previously removed autologous blood to be reinfused at the end of the procedure, providing a safe red blood cell concentration level for recovery while avoiding donor blood. The Oxygent dose for surgical applications is expected to provide the equivalent oxygen delivery of approximately two units of red blood cells. It is estimated that approximately three million patients are at risk of receiving one or more units of blood during elective surgeries annually in the United States. The Company conducted early-stage clinical trials with Oxygent in surgical patients and, in conjunction with Ortho, is continuing the clinical development of the product. See "-Collaborative Relationships." LIQUIVENT. LiquiVent (sterile perflubron) is in clinical development for use as an intrapulmonary agent to treat acute respiratory failure, a disorder that can result from many 22 causes, including serious infections, traumatic shock, severe burns, or inhalation of toxic substances. Acute respiratory failure is generally characterized by an excessive inflammatory response, which leads to blockage of the small airways and collapse of alveoli, resulting in inadequate gas exchange and impairment of normal lung function. Approximately 700,000 patients in the United States are placed on mechanical gas ventilators each year for treatment of lung dysfunction due to acute injuries or exacerbations of chronic lung diseases. The most urgent need for these patients is to improve their blood oxygenation; however, the prolonged use of high ventilatory pressures or high concentrations of inspired oxygen can be damaging to the lungs. Each year, approximately 150,000 patients in the United States suffering from respiratory failure progress to the most severe form, referred to as acute respiratory distress syndrome ("ARDS"), where the risk of death is 40-60%. LiquiVent is intended to be used in a technique called partial liquid ventilation ("PLV"). In this procedure, the drug is administered through an endotracheal tube into the lungs of a patient being supported by a mechanical ventilator. The initial goal of LiquiVent/PLV therapy is to open collapsed alveoli to improve pulmonary function and gas exchange. Once this has been accomplished, ventilator pressure and oxygen concentration may be lowered to minimize ventilator-induced lung trauma. In clinical studies, LiquiVent has also been observed to encourage the migration of mucus and alveolar debris to the central airways, where suctioning is made easier. In conjunction with a possible direct LiquiVent anti-inflammatory effect, the ability to remove such debris may significantly reduce the excessive inflammatory response associated with acute respiratory failure and enhance the effectiveness of other therapeutic interventions, all serving to potentially reduce patient recovery time. The Company is conducting separate early-stage clinical trials with LiquiVent in premature infants, pediatric patients, and adults with ARDS. The FDA has granted the Company Subpart E status (expedited review) for the product in connnection with the treatment of ARDS. See "-Government Regulation." IMAGENT US. Imagent US is a contrast agent that is an aqueous dispersion of PFC vapor-containing microbubbles. The gas bubbles are highly echogenic and, when delivered intravenously, generate signals that enhance ultrasonic images. Imagent US is intended to be used to enhance ultrasound images of blood flow abnormalities (perfusion defects), which can occur as a result of myocardial infarctions, blood clots or solid tumors. Approximately 18 million scans of the heart, vasculature, and abdominal organs are performed annually in the United States. More than 50% of these procedures may potentially benefit from a cost-effective contrast agent. In preclinical studies, 23 Imagent US has been found to enhance the ultrasound signal from perfused tissues and blood vessels using both gray-scale and color Doppler imaging techniques. To be successful in the marketplace, ultrasound contrast agents should provide enhanced diagnostic images during several minutes of scanning, be easy to use, and have a shelf life greater than one year. Imagent US is being developed to meet these requirements. It has the potential for assessing general vascular disease, cardiac (ventricular) function and, most importantly, myocardial perfusion. The agent may also be useful in detecting space-occupying lesions (such as solid tumors) in organs such as the liver. The Company has evaluated multiple formulations for Imagent US, each of which has advantages for certain applications. Imagent US is in the preclinical phase and the Company estimates that it will file an IND to begin clinical trials around the end of 1995. ANTIGENIZED ANTIBODIES. Antigenized antibodies utilize the human immunoglobulin as a platform to carry specific peptides to modulate the immune system. The presentation of the peptide is accomplished by use of genetic engineering techniques to make a substitution in the complementarity determining regions (CDR) of the antibody. Depending on the disease and the antigen, antigenized antibodies can be used to either stimulate antibody production (as in a vaccine) to prevent disease or to down-regulate antibody production (as in a tolerogen) to treat certain autoimmune disorders. Antigenized antibodies provide for a delivery system with advantages over the free peptide, including its half-life in blood circulation and the ability of the peptide to stimulate both a cellular and a humoral antibody response. In this manner a cost-effective combination vaccine or vaccine/tolerogen therapy can be engineered by using a common platform and a common manufacturing process. Further chemical modification of these molecules may obviate the requirement for adjuvants during immunization or tolerization. The Company, through its Astral subsidiary, is developing a prototype vaccine for an infectious disease and a prototype tolerogen for an autoimmune disease. Collaborative Relationships In August 1994, the Company entered into the License Agreement, which provides Ortho with worldwide marketing rights to the Company's injectable PFC emulsions capable of transporting oxygen for therapeutic use, including Oxygent. The product will be jointly developed by Alliance and Ortho, with Ortho being responsible for substantially all of the remaining costs of development. Ortho paid Alliance an initial license fee of $4.0 million and will make other payments upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, Ortho will pay to Alliance a royalty based upon its sales of the product after commercialization. In conjunction 24 with the License Agreement, J&JDC purchased 1.5 million shares of Alliance convertible preferred stock for $15.0 million and obtained a three year warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock at $15 per share. See "Note 7 of Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements." In November 1994, the Company entered into a license agreement with Glaxo Group, Ltd. ("Glaxo") for the use of the Company's fluorinated surfactants in certain metered-dose inhalers ("MDI") in delivering Glaxo's respiratory drug formulations. Glaxo is responsible for the development and marketing of MDI products incorporating the Company's surfactant. The agreement provides for an initial license fee and milestone payments to Alliance, which are not expected to exceed $2.5 million in the aggregate, with royalties to Alliance following commercialization. The Company intends to seek and evaluate collaborative relationships for the marketing of LiquiVent and Imagent US on terms conceptually similar to those contained in the License Agreement. Manufacturing The Company manufactures all of its products for preclinical and clinical trials. Oxygent is produced in Alliance's San Diego facility, which includes both pilot-scale (18 liter) and intermediate-scale (250 liter) production capability. The Company believes that, if and when approved by the FDA, the intermediate scale-up facility will provide sufficient production capacity for future clinical trials and market launch. A larger commercial-scale facility will be required for products in the future. Under the terms of the License Agreement, Ortho has the right to elect to manufacture Oxygent itself or have the Company continue to do so, which election must be made at or prior to the filing of the New Drug Application. If Alliance manufactures Oxygent for Ortho, the transfer price will be determined by Ortho's net sales price for the product, provided that Alliance will not transfer it for less than Alliance's burdened cost. The Company has not selected a commercial-scale site or obtained any regulatory approvals. Construction of such a facility will depend upon regulatory approvals, product development, and capital resources, among other things. LiquiVent is manufactured for clinical trials at the Company's Otisville, New York facility. It is the same drug substance for which Alliance obtained FDA approval in August 1993 as an oral contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (Imagent GI). As a result, certain chemistry, manufacturing, and control requirements for perflubron have been accepted by the FDA, which may benefit the Company in the regulatory review process for certain products. Imagent US is manufactured for preclinical studies at the San Diego facility, using a proprietary process to form PFC vapor containing dry microbubbles which are reconstituted with 25 sterile water just prior to use. The existing process is satisfactory for production of quantities of Imagent US for clinical trials and to support introductory marketing after commercialization. Patents The Company has six issued U.S. patents related to or covering PFC emulsions which are the basis for its Oxygent product. The issued patents and other pending patent applications cover specific details of emulsified PFCs which are covered by product-by-process claims, method claims describing their manufacture, and some composition claims. These broadly cover high concentration PFC emulsions, typically 40-125% weight per volume (although some are limited to 75-125% weight per volume), and manufacturing methods. In September 1994, Alliance received a United States patent for its preferred method of using blood substitutes to facilitate oxygen delivery. The patent is pending in Europe, Japan, and other countries. The issued claims cover a method for facilitating autologous blood use in conjunction with administering oxygen enriched gas and oxygen carriers that contain fluorochemicals, as well as those derived from human, plant, or recombinant hemoglobin, in order to reduce or eliminate the need for allogeneic blood transfusions during surgery. The method of completely filling the lungs with PFCs to perfuse the lungs as a means of oxygenation has been known for many years and thus, as a broad method of treatment, is not patentable. The Company has discovered that partially filling the lungs with oxygen-carrying PFCs can enhance respiratory gas exchange utilizing conventional gas ventilators. This potentially significant improvement in gas exchange may be the preferred method of treatment for patients with acute respiratory failure. The Company has filed and obtained a license to patent applications on this method and has patent applications pending which cover the use of PFCs to deliver drugs to the lungs and to wash debris from, and open, collapsed lungs. The Company also has patent applications pending which cover apparatus for liquid ventilation using PFCs. The Company has filed four patent applications concerning the composition, manufacture and use of novel stabilized microbubble compositions, which are based on its discovery that PFC gases, in combination with appropriate surfactants, can stabilize microbubbles that are effective for ultrasonic imaging. The Company has patents that have issued in the U.S. and abroad, and additional pending patents, covering its novel fluorinated surfactants. These compounds may be useful in oxygen-carrying or drug-transport compositions, and in liposomal formulations that have therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Additional fluorinated compounds disclosed in pending applications may be employed in cosmetics, protective creams, and lubricating agents. Compositions that can be structured as emulsions, microemulsions, and gels may be useful as contrast enhancement agents 26 for radiography and scintigraphy. The Company also has pending applications relating to microstructures (tubules, helixes, fibers) that may have uses in the biomedical field, biomolecular engineering, microelectronics, and electro-optics. Competition The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are highly competitive. There are many pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, public and private universities and research organizations actively engaged in research and development of products which may be similar to Alliance's products. Many of the Company's existing or potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than the Company and may be better equipped to develop, manufacture and market products. These companies may develop and introduce products and processes competitive with or superior to those of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully with such companies. Well-publicized side effects associated with the transfusion of allogeneic (donor) blood have spurred efforts to develop a blood substitute. Two primary approaches have shown promise as temporary oxygen carriers: PFC emulsions and hemoglobin solutions. Hemoglobin development efforts include: stroma-free, chemically modified hemoglobin from human or bovine red blood cells, and the use of genetic engineering to produce recombinant hemoglobin. There are several companies working on hemoglobin solutions as a blood substitute, some of which have entered clinical trials. Recently, a major U.S. pharmaceutical company announced a manufacturing and marketing collaboration with a company developing a recombinant hemoglobin-based blood substitute. The Green Cross Corporation of Japan developed a first-generation PFC emulsion, Fluosol, which was marketed in the U.S. as an adjunct to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty; however, Green Cross Corporation recently announced that it was withdrawing the product from the market due to its limited sales volume. The Company believes that its PFC-based emulsion product compares favorably with Fluosol for several reasons, including its higher oxygen- carrying capacity, its greater stability and its ease of use. Alliance is aware of two other companies developing PFC-based temporary oxygen carriers, one of which has entered clinical trials. Although liquid ventilation therapy has been in the research phase for the last two decades, the Company is unaware of any potential competition which has reached the clinical trial stage. However, other companies may be evaluating PFC liquids with the possibility of entering this field. The Company believes that its patent position and stage of research and development give it an advantage over potential competitors. A number of larger companies currently market a broad range of contrast agents. One U.S. pharmaceutical company has recently gained FDA approval to market an ultrasound contrast 27 agent and other companies are known to be developing similar products. One of these companies is believed to have a product in Phase III clinical trials, another has reported that it has completed a Phase II clinical trial, and a third is believed to be in Phase II clinical trials. Product Liability Claims and Uninsured Risks The sale or use of the Company's present products and any other products or processes that may be developed or sold by the Company may expose the Company to potential liability from claims by end users of such products or by manufacturers or others selling such products, either directly or as a component of other products. While the Company has product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to maintain such insurance or that it will provide adequate coverage. If the Company is held responsible for damages in a product liability suit, the Company's financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. Government Regulation The Company's products require governmental approval before production and marketing can commence. The regulatory approval process is administered by the FDA in the United States and by similar agencies in foreign countries. The process of obtaining regulatory clearances or approvals is costly and time consuming. The Company cannot predict how long the necessary clearances or approvals will take or whether it will be successful in obtaining them. Generally, all potential pharmaceutical products must successfully complete two major stages of development prior to receiving marketing approval by the governing regulatory agency. These are preclinical and clinical testing. 28 In preclinical testing, potential compounds are tested both in vitro and in animals to gain safety information prior to administration in humans. Knowledge is obtained regarding the effects of the compound on bodily functions as well as its absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. In clinical testing, a three-phase progression of studies includes:
PHASE DESCRIPTION PURPOSE - ------- -------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- I The first trials of a new drug in To gain preliminary human humans; the drug is given for a short pharmacology and safety information period to a small number of healthy concerning the drug volunteers or patients suffering from the disease for which the drug is intended II Pilot studies on a small number of To determine if the drug has the patients in the population for which intended effect and to approximate the the drug is intended therapeutic range III Expanded trials in the target patient Pivotal studies to determine the population optimal dosages, and efficacy of the drug
Following completion of these studies, a new drug application must be submitted to and approved by the FDA in order to market the product in the United States. Similar applications are required in foreign countries. There can be no assurance that, upon completion of the foregoing trials, the results will be considered adequate for government approval. If and when approval is obtained to market a product, the FDA's (or applicable foreign agency's) regulations will govern manufacturing and marketing activities. The FDA has established a designation to speed the availability of new therapies for life-threatening or severely debilitating diseases. This designation, defined in Subpart E of the FDA's investigational new drug regulations, may expedite clinical evaluation and regulatory review of some new drugs, such as LiquiVent, which has been so designated. Perflubron is an eight-carbon halogenated fluorocarbon liquid. Certain halogenated fluorocarbons (primarily the gaseous chlorofluorocarbons) have been implicated in stratospheric ozone depletion. The FDA issued a Finding of No Significant Impact under the National Environmental Protection Act in connection with the approval for marketing Imagent GI, a 29 perflubron-based drug; however, perflubron remains subject to regulation by governmental agencies. In addition to FDA regulation, the Company is subject to regulation by various governmental agencies including, without limitation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the California State Department of Health Services, Food and Drug Branch. Such regulation, by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries, may impede or limit the Company's ability to develop and market its products. Legal Proceedings The Company and certain of its officers and directors are named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by certain stockholders in September 1992. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend vigorously against the claims brought by the stockholders in the action. The Company believes the eventual outcome of the litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. 30 MANAGEMENT Executive Officers and Directors The executive officers and directors of the Company are as follows:

None of the Placement Agents nor the International Placement Agents are obligated or intend to themselves take (or purchase) any of the Common Stock. It is anticipated that the Placement Agents will obtain indications of interest from potential investors for the amount of the Offerings and that effectiveness of the Registration Statement will not be requested and no investor funds will be accepted until indications of interest have been received by the U.S. Placement Agents and/or the International Placement Agents for the full amount of the Offerings. Confirmations and definitive prospectuses (or definitive offering materials in the case of non-U.S. investors) will be distributed to all investors at the time of pricing, informing investors of the closing date, which will be scheduled for five business days after pricing. No investor funds will be accepted prior to effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Prior to the closing date, all U.S. investor funds will promptly be placed in escrow with Citibank, N.A., as escrow agent (the "U.S. Escrow Agent"), in an escrow account established for the benefit of U.S. investors. The U.S. Escrow Agent will invest such funds in accordance with Rule 15c2-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act. All non-U.S. investor funds will be placed in escrow with Citibank, N.A. in London, England, as escrow agent (the "International Escrow Agent"; and together with the U.S. Escrow Agent, the "Escrow Agents") in an escrow account established for the benefit of non-U.S. investors. Prior to the closing date, the Escrow Agents will advise the Company that payment for the purchase of the Common Stock has been affirmed by investors and that investors have deposited the requisite funds in the respective escrow accounts at the Escrow Agents. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will deposit with each Escrow Agent the Common Stock to be credited to the respective accounts of investors within and without the United States, as appropriate. Investor funds, together with interest thereon, if any, will be collected by the Company through the facilities of each Escrow Agent, as appropriate, on the scheduled closing date. Neither the U.S. Offering nor the International Offering will continue after the closing date. In the event that investor funds are not received in the full amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Offerings, all funds deposited in the escrow accounts will promptly be returned. The Placement Agents have entered into an Agreement Among Agents pursuant to which each International Placement Agent has agreed that it is not arranging for the sale of the Common Stock to any U.S. person in the International Offering. The Company has agreed to indemnify the U.S. Placement Agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the U.S. Placement Agents may be required to make in respect thereof.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-7 ALLIANCE PHARMACEUTICAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES - ---------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Information subsequent to June 30, 1994, except for Note 8, is unaudited.) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization - ------------ Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp. ("Alliance") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are engaged in the development, manufacturing, and early-stage marketing of medical and pharmaceutical products. Principles of Consolidation - --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alliance and its wholly owned subsidiaries, BioPulmonics, Inc. ("BioPulmonics") and Rosanin Corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Astral, Inc. (formerly known as Advax Pharmaceutical, Inc.) and Applications et Transferts de Technologies Avancees. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in 1992 and 1993 have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments - -------------------------------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments, primarily U.S. government securities and corporate obligations, with original maturities of less than 90 days when purchased. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates market. Accounting For Investments In Debt and Equity Securities - -------------------------------------------------------- In July 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". The Company's management has classified its investment securities as available-for-sale and records holding gains or losses as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The cumulative effect of the change resulted in an adjustment to stockholders' equity of $127,000 at July 1, 1994. Concentration of Credit Risk - ---------------------------- Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments are financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in U.S. government securities and marketable debt securities of financial institutions and corporations with strong credit ratings. The Company has established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities that maintain safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates. The Company has not experienced any material losses in its investments. Property, Plant, Equipment, and Other Assets - -------------------------------------------- Buildings, furniture, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 4 to 25 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Patent, product, and technology rights are amortized using the straight-line method over 5 to 15 years. Purchased Technology - -------------------- The purchased technology was acquired by virtue of the merger of Fluoromed Pharmaceutical, Inc. into a subsidiary of the Company in fiscal 1989. The technology acquired is the Company's core perfluorochemical ("PFC") technology and was valued based on an analysis of the present value of future earnings anticipated from this technology at that time. The Company identified alternative future uses for the PFC technology, including the Oxygent (temporary blood substitute) and LiquiVent (intrapulmonary oxygen carrier) products. The PFC technology is the basis for the Company's main drug development programs and is being amortized over a 20 year life. Amortization of purchased technology is included in research and development expense. Accumulated amortization was $5,032,000, $6,193,000 and $6,774,000 at June 30, 1993 and 1994 and December 31, 1994, respectively. The carrying value of purchased technology is reviewed periodically based on the projected cash flows to be received from license fees, milestone payments, royalties and other product revenues. If such cash flows are less than the carrying value of the purchased technology, the difference will be charged to expense. Research and Development Expenses - --------------------------------- Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. F-8 Income Taxes - ------------ The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("Statement 109"), as of July 1, 1993. Statement 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. Prior years' financial statements have not been restated and the adoption of Statement 109 had no impact on the results of operations for the year ended June 30, 1994. Net Loss Per Share - ------------------ Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective years and does not include common stock equivalents since their effect on the net loss per share would be anti-dilutive. Interim Financial Information - ----------------------------- The financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at those dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. 2. INVESTMENTS Short-term investments are recorded at estimated fair market value at December 31, 1994, and consist primarily of treasury securities, and corporate obligations with maturities of more than three months. The Company has classified all of its investments as available-for-sale securities. The following table summarizes available-for-sale securities at December 31, 1994:
Available-for-Sale Securities ------------------------------------------- Gross Unrealized Estimated Fair Cost Losses Value ----------- ---------- -------------- U.S. Government Securities $ 6,215,000 $535,000 $ 5,680,000 Corporate Obligations 8,639,000 165,000 8,474,000 Cash and Cash Equivalents 5,946,000 5,946,000 ----------- -------- ----------- $20,800,000 $700,000 $20,100,000 =========== ======== ===========
The gross realized losses on sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $80,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1994. There were no gross realized gains. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt and marketable securities at December 31, 1994, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuants of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.
Estimated Cost Fair Value ----------- ----------- Due in one year or less $10,314,000 $10,314,000 Due after one year through three years 4,995,000 4,740,000 Due after three years 5,491,000 5,046,000 ----------- ----------- $20,800,000 $20,100,000 =========== ===========

In fiscal 1995, the Company discontinued the promotion of Imagent(R) GI. Accordingly, the Company established a reserve as of June 30, 1994 to reduce its inventories of perflubron to the estimated net realizable value from sales of Imagent GI.

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Stock Option Plans - ------------------ The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1983 Plan") which provides for the granting of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock to employees of the Company. All such options have been granted. Options granted under the 1983 Plan generally vest in installments of 30 percent, 25 percent, 20 percent, 15 percent, and 10 percent of the number of shares initially subject to the options, commencing 12, 24, 36, 48, and 59 months, respectively, from the date of grant and are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant. The Company also has two Non-Qualified Stock Option Programs (the "1983 Program" and the "1991 Plan"). These programs provide for the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock (up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares and 1,000,000 shares for the 1983 Program and the 1991 Plan, respectively) to directors, officers, and other employees and consultants. The optionees, dates of grant, option price (which for the 1991 Plan cannot be less than 80 percent of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant), and terms of the options, which cannot exceed ten years for both the 1983 Program and 1991 Plan, are determined by the Board of Directors. In May 1994, the Board of Directors amended and restated the 1991 Plan, approved by the stockholders in November 1994, to, among other things, increase the number of shares available under the 1991 Plan by 1,000,000 shares and to allow the issuance of incentive stock options. F-10 The following table summarizes stock option activity through June 30, 1994:
Weighted Shares Average Price --------- ------------- Balance at June 30, 1991 1,225,432 Granted 511,000 $21.06 Exercised (181,966) $ 6.75 Terminated/Expired (5,492) $ 9.68 --------- Balance at June 30, 1992 1,548,974 Granted 408,210 $12.04 Exercised (102,941) $ 5.50 Terminated/Expired (44,340) $22.77 --------- Balance at June 30, 1993 1,809,903 Granted 564,550 $ 9.42 Exercised (74,666) $ 2.81 Terminated/Expired (51,215) $11.57 --------- Balance at June 30, 1994 2,248,572 ========= Available for future grant under the 1983 Program 16,985 ========= Available for future grant under the 1991 Plan, as amended and restated, and approved by the stockholders in November 1994 963,600 =========
At June 30, 1994, 1,406,235 options were vested and exercisable. Certain of the options granted from July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1992 were granted with exercise prices below fair market value at the date of the grant. The Company has recorded such difference as deferred compensation, which was amortized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of each option. Warrants - -------- In December 1993, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock through December 2000 at an exercise price of $12 per share (see Note 5). At June 30, 1994, the Company had warrants outstanding to purchase 736,813 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $6.95 to $15.96 per share. The warrants expire on various dates from July 1994 through December 2000. The cash proceeds that would be received upon the exercise of all outstanding warrants at June 30, 1994 would be $8,290,000. Acquisition of Biopulmonics, Inc. - --------------------------------- In December 1991, the Company purchased all the outstanding stock of BioPulmonics in a transaction recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price was $3,055,000, payable in four installments, of which at least 80 percent of the consideration was to be paid in the Company's common stock. Accordingly, the minimum amount of the aggregate purchase price to be financed through the Company's common stock was recorded as capital arising from the acquisition of a subsidiary and the remaining balance was recorded as debt. In December 1993, the Company made its third installment payment (of $1,000,000) to the former BioPulmonics' stockholders with substantially all of such payment made in the Company's common stock. The Company will pay BioPulmonics' stockholders additional consideration of $1,000,000 (at least 80% of which must be in common stock) in or before June 1995. F-11 Should the Company elect not to continue development of the technology acquired from BioPulmonics, the Company may transfer all the outstanding capital stock of BioPulmonics back to the former BioPulmonics' stockholders in lieu of making the final payment. 5. MARKETING AGREEMENT In May 1989, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH ("BII") (the "Marketing Agreement"), which provided BII with marketing and manufacturing rights to certain of the Company's products in all countries outside North America. In addition, the Company and BII shared in the funding of research, development, and the conduct of clinical trials of certain perfluorochemical products. The Company earned license and research revenues of $2,200,000 and $1,753,000 under the agreement during fiscal 1993 and 1992, respectively. In June 1993, the Company and BII modified the Marketing Agreement and BII discontinued its research funding, and, in January 1994, the Company regained all marketing and manufacturing rights previously granted to BII in exchange for a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock through December 2000 at $12 per share. The Company has the right to call the warrant if its stock price achieves certain levels. In conjunction with the acquisition of the marketing and manufacturing rights from BII, the Company has recorded product rights of $1,840,000 (the estimated fair value of the warrant). The cost of these rights was charged to expense in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, when the Company licensed these product rights to Ortho Biotech, Inc. (see Note 8). 6. INCOME TAXES Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets as of June 30, 1994 are shown below. A valuation allowance of $58,173,000, of which $16,160,000 is related to 1994, has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets as realization of such assets is uncertain. Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 48,686,000 Research and development credits 6,236,000 Capitalized research expense 3,372,000 Other - net (121,000) ------------ Total deferred tax assets 58,173,000 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (58,173,000) ------------ Net deferred tax assets $ 0 ============
Approximately $1,698,000 of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets relates to stock option deductions which, when recognized, will be allocated to contributed capital. At June 30, 1994, the Company had federal and various state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $128,303,000 and $62,995,000, respectively. The difference between the federal and state tax loss carryforwards is primarily attributable to the capitalization of research and development expenses for California tax purposes and the fifty percent limitation on California loss carryforwards. The federal and various state tax loss carryforwards will begin expiring in fiscal 1998 and 1996, F-12 respectively, unless previously utilized. The Company also has federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $5,431,000 and $1,239,000, respectively, which will begin expiring in fiscal 1998 unless previously utilized. Federal and California tax laws limit the utilization of income tax net operating loss and credit carryforwards that arise prior to a change of control of the Company. However, the Company believes that such limitations will not have an impact on the utilization of the carryforwards. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases certain office and research facilities in San Diego and certain equipment under operating leases. Provisions of the facilities lease provide for abatement of rent during certain periods and escalating rent payments during the lease terms based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Minimum annual commitments related to operating lease payments at June 30, 1994 are as follows:
Years ending June 30, - ------------------------ 1995 $ 1,839,000 1996 1,837,000 1997 1,863,000 1998 1,908,000 1999 1,962,000 Thereafter 2,471,000 ----------- Total $11,880,000 ===========
Rent expense for fiscal 1992, 1993, and 1994 and the six months ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 was $1,168,000, $1,886,000, $2,286,000, $1,224,000 and $980,000, respectively. In order to obtain a commitment for a long-term supply of raw material for both clinical trials and anticipated future production requirements, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor under which the Company is obligated to make payments to the vendor based, in part, upon the achievement of certain milestones. The minimum payments are anticipated to commence during 1995 and will continue for a 26-month period. The Company's total minimum future commitment is estimated not to exceed $3.5 million. During September 1992, the Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in several lawsuits filed by certain shareholders. The actions have been consolidated into one class action lawsuit. The complaint claims, among other things, that the defendants failed to disclose certain problems with two of the Company's products under development, which conduct is alleged to have falsely portrayed the Company's financial condition. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and fees. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend against the claims brought by the shareholders in the action. The Company believes the eventual outcome of the litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. F-13 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT In August 1994, the Company executed a license agreement with Ortho Biotech, Inc. and The R.W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute, a division of Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation (collectively referred to as "Ortho"), which provides Ortho with worldwide marketing and, at its election, manufacturing rights to the Company's injectable perfluorochemical ("PFC") emulsions capable of transporting oxygen for therapeutic use. Ortho will pay to Alliance a royalty based upon its sales of the product after commercialization. In addition, Ortho will pay to Alliance an initial license fee and other payments upon the achievement of certain milestones. Ortho will also be responsible for the remaining costs of developing the products. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had recorded a receivable of $3.1 million, representing funding due from Ortho for development costs incurred. Such amounts are recorded as research revenue in the statements of consolidated operations. Concurrent with execution of the license agreement, Johnson & Johnson Development Corp. ("J&JDC") agreed to purchase 1.5 million shares of Alliance convertible preferred stock for $15.0 million and obtain a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of Alliance common stock at $15 per share during the next three years. The preferred stock is convertible into common shares upon the earlier of: 1) Alliance common stock trading for an average price per share of at least $20 for twenty consecutive days; 2) termination of the license agreement; or 3) June 30, 1998. Each share of the preferred stock will be converted into a number of common shares based upon the lower of the average price of Alliance common stock at the time of conversion or $20 per share. Prior to conversion, each share of preferred stock is entitled to one-half vote on matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote. The preferred stock carries a cumulative annual dividend of $0.50 per share. J&JDC will have certain registration rights for common stock obtained by conversion of the preferred stock or exercise of the warrant.

UNDERTAKINGS The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; Provided, however, that paragraph (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in II-2 reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

EX-3 2 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION EXHIBIT 3 CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF ALLIANCE PHARMACEUTICAL CORP. Under Section 805 of the Business Corporation Law We, the undersigned, Duane Roth and Theodore D. Roth, being respectively the President and the Secretary of Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp., hereby certify: 1. The name of the corporation is Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp. (hereinafter called the "Corporation"). The name under which the Corporation was formed is Otisville Biologics, Inc. 2. The Certificate of Incorporation was filed in the office of the Secretary of State on the 23rd day of February, 1983. 3. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended heretofore, is further amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, from 30,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares. 4. To effect the foregoing amendment, Article 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, relating to the authorized capital stock of the Corporation, is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 4. The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 55,000,000 of which 50,000,000 shares shall be designated Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares shall be designated Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share. The relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of each class are as follows: (a) The Preferred Stock authorized hereby may be issued (i) in such series and with such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and with such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, as the Board of Directors shall fix by resolution, and (ii) in such number of shares in each series as the Board of Directors, by resolution or resolutions, shall fix; provided that the aggregate number of all shares of Preferred Stock issued does not exceed the number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized hereby. (b) Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to such dividend, liquidation and voting rights and such other rights and privileges as are provided by the New York Business Corporation Law, subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a) above. (c) One million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of the Corporation's preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, are designated "Series A Preferred Stock" (hereinafter referred to as the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and shall have the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions as follows: 1. Definitions. 1.1. "Common Stock" shall mean the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation, par value $.01 per share, and any stock into which such Common Stock may hereafter be changed. 1.2. "Conversion Date" shall mean the date on which the Series A Preferred Stock converts to Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.1.1. 1.3. "Conversion Rate" shall mean the rate at which shares of Common Stock are to be received upon conversion of one share of the Series A Preferred Stock which is determined by dividing the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock into $10.00; provided that (i) in the event of a conversion pursuant to Section 5.1.1(b), the Current Market Price per share shall be deemed to be not less than $5.00, and (ii) in the event of a conversion pursuant to Section 5.1.1(c) the Current Market Price shall be deemed to be $20.00. The Conversion Rate, and the amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii) in the previous sentence shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5. 1.4. "Convertible Securities" shall mean evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable, with or without payment of -2- additional consideration in cash or property, for Common Stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event. 1.5. "Current Market Price" per share of Common Stock at any date herein specified shall mean the average of the daily market prices for the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days ending one (1) day prior to such date. The market price for each such Trading Day shall be the last reported sales price on the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or, if it is not so listed, the NASDAQ National Market System or on the over-the-counter market. 1.6. "Division Amounts" shall mean the $5.00 amount referred to in clause (i) of the proviso in Section 1.3 and the $20.00 amount referred to in clause (ii) of such proviso. 1.7. "Junior Stock" shall mean the Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation which at the time of issuance is not declared to be senior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation or dividends. 1.8. "License Agreement" shall mean that certain License Agreement dated as of August 16, 1994 by and among the Corporation, Ortho Biotech, Inc. and the R.W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute. 1.9. "Person" shall mean any individual, corporation, association, company, business trust, partnership, joint venture, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or association or government or any agency or political subdivision thereof. 1.10. "Trading Day" shall mean any day on which trading takes place (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading; or (b) if not, in the over- the-counter-market and prices reflecting such trading are published by -3- the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. 2. Dividends. Before any dividends (other than dividends payable in Common Stock) on any Junior Stock shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cash dividends, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, at the annual rate of $.50 per share, and no more, payable annually on the first day of June in each year, to holders of record on such date, not exceeding thirty (30) days preceding such dividend payment date, as may be determined by the Board of Directors in advance of the payment of each particular dividend. Such dividends shall be cumulative. Whenever, at any time, the full dividend as aforesaid for the current dividend period shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment on the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may declare dividends on any Junior Stock, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, and the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 3. Liquidation or Dissolution. 3.1. Preference. Subject to the prior rights of the Corporation's creditors and holders of securities senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive ten dollars ($10.00) per share, plus an amount equal to any accumulated dividends through the date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. The amount of dividends "accumulated" on any share of Series A Preferred Stock as at any annual dividend date shall be deemed to be the amount of any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to and including such annual dividend date, whether or not earned or declared, and the amount of dividends "accumulated" on any share of Series A Preferred Stock as at any date other than an annual dividend date shall be calculated as the amount of any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon, whether or not earned or declared, at the rate of $.125 per share for each full three-month period preceding such date and ending on September 1, December 1, March 1 or June 1. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the assets -4- distributable among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock (and any series of preferred stock ranking in parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation) shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to such holders of the preferential amount payable to such holders determined as aforesaid, then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock (and any such series) will share ratably in any distribution of the Corporation's assets in proportion to the respective preferential amounts that would have been payable if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full of all such amounts. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distribution to which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled, holders of Junior Stock (other than Common Stock) shall be paid any preferential amounts payable to such holders. Thereafter, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will share pro rata with the holders of Common Stock (and the holders of Junior Stock entitled to share pro rata with Common Stock in liquidating distributions), based on the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible, any further distribution of assets by the Corporation. Under this Section 3, a distribution of assets in any dissolution, winding-up or liquidation shall not include (a) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, (b) any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation immediately followed by reincorporation of a successor corporation or (c) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets in consideration for the issuance of equity securities of another corporation, provided that the consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, sale or other disposition (i) does not amend, alter, or change the preferences or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in a manner that adversely affects the Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) is done in accordance with Sections 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 hereof. 4. Voting Rights. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote, together with the holders of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock and not by class, except as otherwise required by New York law, on all matters on which holders of Common Stock shall have the right to vote. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to cast one-half (0.5) vote for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. -5- 5. Conversion Rights. 5.1. Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock shall convert into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate as follows: 5.1.1. The Series A Preferred Stock shall convert into Common Stock on the earlier of the following: (a) June 30, 1998; (b) Termination of the License Agreement (unless termination of the License Agreement is as a result of the liquidation of the Corporation, the appointment of a receiver or trustee for substantially all of the property or assets of the Corporation, or the Corporation makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, in each case, in accordance with the License Agreement); or (c) At such time as the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than $20.00, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2. 5.1.2. Upon conversion, the Corporation shall send written notice to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock. Any notice of conversion shall contain the Conversion Date, the Conversion Rate and the number of shares into which the holder's Series A Preferred Stock is converted. Upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall have the status of authorized and unissued Series A Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall include the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted. Upon such conversion, certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be deemed to represent the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is converted. Upon conversion pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a) or (c), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive accumulated dividends paid in cash or, at the -6- election of the Corporation, in Common Stock at the Current Market Price used to determine the Conversion Rate upon conversion. In the event of a conversion pursuant to Section 5.1.2(b), no accumulated dividends shall be paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock. After conversion the holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall deliver to the Corporation during regular business hours, at such place as may be designated by the Corporation, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed or assigned in blank, or to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock are to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the Conversion Date. 5.1.3. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount determined on the basis of the then current fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, in good faith. Fractional interests shall not be entitled to dividends, and the holders thereof shall not be entitled to any rights as stockholders of the Corporation in respect of such fractional interests. 5.2. Adjustments for Subdivisions, Stock Dividends, Combinations, or Consolidation of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be increased by way of stock issued as a dividend for no consideration or subdivided (by stock split, or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Division Amounts then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such increase or subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Division Amounts then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased. -7- 5.3. Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, or assets (excluding cash dividends) then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 5.3, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock would be convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution. 5.4. Reorganizations and Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for in Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 of this Certificate of Designation), then, as a condition of such reorganization or recapitalization, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such reorganization or recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the reorganization or recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Rate and the Division Amounts then in effect and the number of shares receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable. 5.5. Reservation of Shares. The Corporation agrees that, so long as any share of Series A Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized capital stock, for the purpose of issue upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange, the Corporation at its expense shall include in a listing application all of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (subject to issuance or notice of issuance to the exchange) -8- and will similarly apply for and use its best efforts to procure the listing of any further Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at any subsequent time as a result of adjustments in the Conversion Rate or otherwise. 5.6. Validity of Shares. The Corporation agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be requisite to assure that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of any share of the Series A Preferred Stock will, upon issuance, be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. 5.7. Taxes. The Corporation will pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery (but not transfer) of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. 5.8. Abandonment of Action. If the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 5 and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. 5.9. Notice Provisions. 5.9.1. Whenever the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Corporation shall forthwith deliver to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate signed by an officer of the Corporation, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the Conversion Rate and the Division Amounts. -9- 5.9.2. In case the Corporation shall propose (a) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its capital stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, (b) to offer to the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Convertible Securities, Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (c) to effect any reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock), (d) to effect any capital reorganization, (e) to effect any consolidation, merger or sale, transfer or other distribution of all or substantially all its property, assets or business, or (f) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, then, in each such case, the Corporation shall give to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution or rights, or the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate and the Division Amounts after giving effect to any adjustment which will be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by (a) or (b) above at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action and, in the case of any other such action, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier. 6. No Pre-emptive Rights. No holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have any pre-emptive or preferential right of subscription to any shares of stock of the Corporation, or to options, warrants or other interests therein or therefor, or to any obligations convertible into stock of the Corporation, issued or sold, or any right of subscription to any thereof other than such, if any, as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, from time to time may determine and at such price or prices as the Board of Directors from time to time may fix pursuant to the authority conferred by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation. 7. Covenants. In addition to any other rights provided by law, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, this Corporation shall not, without first obtaining -10- the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than sixty- six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the Series A Preferred Stock: (a) Amend or repeal any provisions of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation which action would adversely affect the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock; (b) Alter or change the designations, powers, rights, preferences or privileges, or the qualification, limitations or restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock; or (c) Increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or other preferred stock of the Corporation; or (d) Authorize, create, or issue any new class or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Corporation having a preference over, or being on a parity with, the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, redemptions or upon liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation; or (e) Reclassify the shares of Common Stock or any other Junior Stock into shares of any class or series of capital stock (i) ranking either as to payment of dividends, distribution of assets or redemptions, prior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) which in any manner adversely affects the holders of Series A Preferred Stock. 5. The manner in which the foregoing amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation was authorized is as follows: The Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted the amendment at a meeting held on August 30, 1994 and the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote adopted the amendment at the annual meeting of shareholders held on November 14, 1994. -11- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have subscribed this document on the date set opposite each of our names below and do hereby affirm, under the penalties of perjury, that the statements contained therein have been examined by us and are true and correct.
