See Notes to Financial Statements. 7 CELOX LABORATORIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- MAY 31, 2000 NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company's financial statements filed as part of the Company's August 31, 1999 Form 10-KSB. This quarterly report should be read in connection with such annual report. NOTE B - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of reporting the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. NOTE C - SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS As of May 31, 2000 the Company had investments of $558,556 in certificates of deposit. Certificates of deposit are made only with the highest rated banks. The Company also utilizes a money market fund, which is restricted by its charter to Tier 1 instruments, for a portion of its investments. At times throughout the year, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit in financial institutions may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. NOTE D - NOTES PAYABLE BANK During April, 1997 the Company borrowed $100,000 from a local bank with the proceeds used for financing a portion of the tenant improvements in the Company's new facility. In February, 2000 the loan was renegotiated with a different Bank. The new loan is secured by a certificate of deposit at this bank. The interest rate for this loan, currently 5.5%, is tied to the certificate of deposit rate. NOTE E - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Basic loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options for 292,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the results were antidilutive. 8 ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION a. BACKGROUND AND PRODUCTS Celox Laboratories, Inc. ("Celox" or the "Company") is a cell technology company formed in 1985 that researches, develops, manufactures and markets cell biology products used in the propagation of cells derived from mammals, including humans, and other species. These specialized cell growth products are used primarily in academic, pharmaceutical, diagnostic and other commercial laboratories to improve the growth condition, productivity and quality of cell-derived medical and other biological products such as vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, interferons and human growth factor. The Company focuses primarily on solving the fundamental problems associated in culturing cells with the use of serum, which is derived from the whole blood of animals and humans. The Company's research activities have resulted in proprietary technology which has been used to commercialize its non-serum growth media, cell freezing solutions and other cell biology products. The Company markets over 25 different products. The Company's proprietary products consist of six different serum-free supplements: TCM(TM), TM-235(TM), TCH(TM), Nephrigen(TM), HemaPro(TM) and VaxMax(TM)and two cell freezing solutions, Cellvation(TM) and a newly introduced product, pZerve(TM). VaxMax(TM), introduced in September of 1993, was developed specifically for use in the production of veterinary vaccines. Nephrigen(TM) was introduced in fiscal 1998 and is a serum-free growth medium developed specifically for the culturing of Human Embryonic Kidney (293) cells. As part of the Nephrigen(TM) system, the Company also introduced a non-enzymatic dissociation solution that is used instead of an enzyme such as trypsin. HemaPro(TM) was also introduced in fiscal 1998 and is a low protein, serum-free medium for clonogenic assays or EX VIVO expansion of human progenitor cells. The Company intends to obtain IN VITRO diagnostic status for HemaPro(TM). pZerve(TM) was introduced in 1999 and is used primarily for cryopreserving human cells. pZerve(TM) is used as a research product only, it is not for human use. An additional proposed clinical product, ViaStem(TM), has completed preclinical testing. This product was developed to improve the preservation of critical cells (e.g., stem cells), which are required for bone marrow transplantation. The Company has received a Drug Master File classification from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for TCM(TM). This classification will expedite the FDA approval process for customers who want to use the Company's TCM(TM) product for manufacturingpurposes. The Company also manufactures eleven basal media formulations, a series of buffered saline solutions, other cell biology reagents, and a variety of custom formulations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to manufacture specialized solutions for the processing of pancreatic islet cells for transplants. In February, 1999 the Company announced the formation of Protide Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (Protide), a wholly owned subsidiary. Celox owns four million shares of Protide. Protide was formed in connection with the further development of ViaStem(TM) and other clinically related cell therapy and transfusion products. 9 b. VIASTEM(TM) In March 1995, the Company filed a patent application for ViaStem(TM) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company received the U.S. Patent in early December 1996. This patent provides protection of the Company's ViaStem(TM) technology through March of 2015. A second U.S. Patent was received in August, 1998. This second patent broadened the patented uses of ViaStem(TM) in bone marrow transplantation and related therapies. The Company has also filed the documents needed for an International Patent Application as required by the Patent Cooperation Treaty. In October, 1998 the Company received notice from the New Zealand and Australia Patent Office that a patent on ViaStem(TM) had been granted by each of the respective countries. In May, 2000 the Company received notice from the Russian Patent Office of the official issue date for the Russian patent. In March, 2000 notice was received from the Patent Office in Canada that a patent had been issued for ViaStem(TM). Initial reports from other countries that have reviewed the International Patent Application have been positive. Due to the unique nature of ViaStem(TM)and its applications, the Company pursued the patent process for this product. On March 31, 2000, Protide Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the wholly owned subsidiary of Celox) entered into an agreement with Fairview-University Medical Center (FUMC), Minneapolis, MN. FUMC will provide collecting, processing and assaying of human peripheral blood stem cells as part of Protide's clinical investigation of ViaStem(TM). During May, 2000 the Company submitted an application to the FDA to initiate human clinical trials for ViaStem(TM). This was the first submission ever made by the Company to the FDA for testing in human subjects. c. DISTRIBUTION/MARKETING The Company continues to sell its products on a direct basis to customers around the world. In addition the Company has formed the following distribution avenues: The Company has a non-exclusive world-wide distribution agreement with ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE:ICN), Costa Mesa, CA. Under the agreement, ICN is marketing Celox' TCM(TM), TCH(TM), TM-235(TM) serum replacement products as well as Cellvation(TM). The Company has also entered into an agreement with ICN to custom manufacture certain of the Company's basal media and balanced salt solutions to ICN for worldwide distribution. ICN manufactures and markets a broad range of prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, medical diagnostic products and biotechnology research products in North and Latin America, Eastern and Western Europe and the Pacific Rim countries. In 1997, the Company began providing its proprietary products to Sigma Chemical Company (NASDAQ:SIAL), St. Louis, MO. under a private label distribution agreement. In 1997, the Company entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with TaKaRa Shuzo Co., Ltd., Biomedical Group, Kyoto, Japan. Under the agreement, TaKaRa will initially market Celox' proprietary product Cellvation(TM). TaKaRa's Biomedical Group leads the industry in several areas owing to the international scope of its research operations which span from the People's Republic of China to North America and Europe. TaKaRa will market Cellvation(TM) in Japan, Taiwan, Korea and People's Republic of China. The Company also has distribution of its products in Japan through Funakoshi Co., LTD, a well established Japanese distributor. 10 In March, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with SciQuest.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQST) to sell its products online. SciQuest.com, Inc. is a leading business-to-business e-marketplace for scientific products used by pharmaceutical, clinical, biotechnology, chemical, industrial and educational organizations worldwide. YEAR 2000 ISSUES Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in the date field. These programs were designed and developed without considering the impact of the change in the century. If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year 2000. The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies and organizations. At this time, no material problems have been encountered due to the Year 2000 issue. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS During the quarter ended May 31, 2000, the Company had net sales of $33,018 which was a decrease of $23,808 or 42% from $56,826 reported in the same quarter for the prior year. For the nine months ended May 31, 2000 net sales totaled $127,835 versus $149,176 for the nine months ended May 31, 1999. This represents a decrease of 14% from the previous period. The decreases between years for both the quarter and the nine month period results primarily from the amount and timing of custom orders as well as orders received from distributors and customers. The Company has also discontinued some products. In addition, the Company has been expending substantial efforts relating to the advancement of ViaStem(TM). The Company had a net loss of $79,702 for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 compared to a net loss of $91,732 for the same period in the previous year. For the nine month period, a net loss of $253,517 was incurred in fiscal 2000 as compared to a net loss of $272,912 in fiscal 1999. On a per share basis, the loss for the current quarter equaled 2 cents versus a 3 cent loss in the comparable period in fiscal 1999. For the nine months ended May 31, 2000 the net loss per share was 8 cents. The loss reported for in the comparable period in fiscal 1999 was 10 cents. The cost of products sold was 60% of net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2000, as compared to 40% of net sales for the three months ended May 31, 1999. For the nine month period ending May 31, 2000, cost of products sold was 45% compared to 44% during the comparable period in the previous fiscal year. The increase for the three month reporting period results from reduced sales levels which results in a higher percentage of fixed manufacturing costs as compared to sales. The mix of products sold also impacts the cost of sales comparisons. An operating loss of $98,542 was generated for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 compared to an operating loss of $98,145 for the same period in the previous year. For the nine months ended May 31, 2000 the Company had an operating loss of $273,650 versus an operating loss of $301,595 for the nine months ended May 31, 1999. The decrease between years for the three month reporting period as well as the nine month reporting period resulted from decreases in administrative and marketing and sales expenses as well as a modest decrease in research and development expense as compared to the previous year. 11 The Company received interest and investment income of $7,467 during the quarter ended May 31, 2000 as compared to $7,112 in the prior year. For the nine month reporting period in fiscal 2000 interest and investment income in the amount of $16,641 was received as compared to $23,667 for the prior nine month period. Investment income is derived primarily from the investment of the proceeds of the Company's March 1992 initial public offering as well as from subsequent private placements. The increase in investment income during the quarter as compared to the previous year results from investing the proceeds of the private placements in bank certificates of deposit. For the nine month reporting period, the decrease results from lower investment balances as the Company uses capital in its operations, as well as lower effective interest rates received on bank certificates of deposit. Operating expenses decreased $26,699 (20%) to $105,767 from $132,466 for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the prior year and decreased by $41,954 (11%) to $343,811 from $385,765 for the nine months ended May 31, 2000 compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease for the three month reporting period as compared to the prior fiscal year results from lower marketing and sales costs which fluctuate based on timing of promotional activities, as well as decreased research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended May 31, 2000 the decrease between reporting periods results from lower marketing and sales expenses, lower research and development expenses as well as lower administrative expenses. Research and development costs decreased by $1,638 (4%) to $37,418 from $39,056 in the current quarter as compared to the previous fiscal year. For the nine month period ended May 31, 2000 research and development costs decreased $22,781 (17%) to $109,366 from $132,147 in the previous fiscal year. The decrease for both of the reporting periods results from the timing of expenditures in the areas of salaries and wages, professional fees and preclinical testing incurred in connection with the ViaStem(TM) product. The Company expects the costs of research and development to fluctuate based on the status of preclinical and clinical trials for ViaStem(TM). Marketing expenses decreased by $10,870 (31%) to $23,965 from $34,835 for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the previous year. For the nine months ended May 31, 2000 marketing expenses decreased by $17,851 (20%) to $71,231 from $89,082 in fiscal 1999. The decrease for the current quarter as compared to the previous year results primarily from the timing of advertising and promotion expenditures. The decrease for the nine month period is attributable to the amount and timing of brochures, price lists and sales related supplies as well as lower depreciation expense and lower delivery expenditures. The Company expects that marketing and sales expenses will fluctuate based on introduction of new products, new studies, and as new advertising materials are developed. Administrative expenses decreased by $14,191 (24%) for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 compared to the previous fiscal year to $44,384 from $58,575. Administrative expenses decreased by $1,322 (1%) in the nine months ended May 31, 2000 to $163,214 from $164,536 in the comparable period in fiscal 1999. The decrease for the three month reporting period is due to the timing of legal expenditures connected with the introduction of new products and certain matters related to ViaStem(TM). The decrease between years for the nine month reporting period is due to reduced temporary help and lower legal fees offset by increased lease expenses due to fully assessed real estate taxes. 12 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Capital resources on hand at May 31, 2000 include cash and short-term investments of $685,703 and net working capital of $569,462. This represents an increase of $156,365 (30%) in cash and short-term investments and an increase of $156,763 (38%) in net working capital as compared to August 31, 1999. The Company is leasing approximately 9,500 square feet of office, laboratory and warehouse space in St. Paul, MN under a seven year lease. The Company moved into the new facility during March, 1997. As partial payment for tenant improvements in the new facility, the Company borrowed $100,000 from a local bank. In February, 2000 the loan was renegotiated with a different bank. The new loan is secured by a certificate of deposit at this bank. The interest rate for this loan, currently 5.5%, is tied to the certificate of deposit rate. The loan is for a one year term with a maturity in February, 2001. The balance of the tenant improvements over this amount was paid with Company funds. During fiscal 1999 the Company raised $59,400 in additional capital by selling 55,000 units at $1.00 per unit to five accredited investors through a private placement. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.04 per share. The units were sold at a premium to the share price on the OTC Bulletin Board at the time of the placement. During the second quarter of fiscal 2000 the Company raised $175,150 in additional capital by selling 145,000 units at $1.15 per unit to five investors through a private placement. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. During the third quarter of fiscal 2000 additional funds in the amount of $211,750 were raised by selling units at $1.15 per unit and common stock at $1.40 per share to other investors in a private placement. The additional funds raised will be primarily used for advancing ViaStem(TM) through the necessary testing before FDA approval can be obtained. The Company intends to pursue additional financing, subject to prevailing market conditions. There is no guarantee however, that the Company will be able to successfully raise an adequate amount of additional funds. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary FDA approvals for ViaStem(TM). The Company anticipates spending approximately $30,000 during fiscal 2000 on capital expenditures. Through May 31, 2000 the Company has made capital expenditures in the amount of $6,981. The majority of the planned expenditures will be used to fund additional sales, research and development, manufacturing growth, as well as computer upgrades. The Company believes that its capital resources on hand at May 31, 2000 together with revenues from product sales, will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the fiscal year.
