OVERVIEW The Company was originally formed in 1986 as Sheffield Strategic Metals, Inc., a Canadian company, to engage in mineral exploration and development. It conducted no significant business activities from 1986 until late 1991. Between December 1991 and February 1992 the Company changed its strategic direction to focus on the acquisition, development and commercialization of promising biomedical technologies and raised capital in private placements of its common stock. In April 1992, the Company changed its name to Sheffield Medical Technologies Inc. to reflect the nature of its new business and listed its common stock on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. In November 1993, the Company commenced trading of its Common Stock on the AMEX. Since its inception in 1986, the Company has been a development stage enterprise. The Company has incurred a net loss in each of the fiscal years since its inception and has had to rely on outside sources of funds to maintain its liquidity. Substantial operating losses are expected to be incurred for the next several years as the Company expends its resources for product acquisition, sponsored research and development and preclinical and clinical testing. The Company has financed its technology development activities and operations primarily through public and private offerings of securities. The Company's operating results have fluctuated significantly during each quarter since its change of strategic direction in 1992, and the Company anticipates that such fluctuations, largely attributable to varying sponsored research and development commitments and expenditures, will continue into the foreseeable future. FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 In 1996, the Company signed its first sub-license agreement for its Liposome-CD4 technology and earned a sub-license fee, which is included in sub-license fee revenue. Interest income was $163,664 in 1996 and $80,610 in 1995, and a total of $396,913 since the Company's inception in 1986. The increase in 1996 interest income of $83,054, compared to 1995, was due primarily to the increase in the amount of funds available for investment as the result of the completion of the Company's warrant discount program completed in 1996, which raised total gross proceeds of $5.6 million. Research and product development expenses for 1996 decreased by $582,336 to $3,841,818 compared with 1995 expenses of $4,424,154. The lower research and development costs were attributable to negotiating extensions of two major Sponsored Research Agreements signed in October 1996 and the winding down of the RBC-CD4 Electroinsertion Technology project, partially offset by the increased development of the Ion Anti-Proliferative technology projects. In 1996, the Company entered into five (5) major research and development agreements. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. The funds expended for these new projects totaled $892,694 in 1996. -3- General and administrative expenses for 1996 were $3,831,204, an increase of $851,767 compared with expenses of $2,979,437 for 1995, primarily resulting from the one-time cashless exercise of options and warrants by a former employee of the Company, totaling $562,912, and private placement professional fees relating to Ion. The major items included in general and administrative expenses for 1996 were (i) salaries of $1,011,527 which increased by $490,418 as compared to 1995, primarily due to the increase in management and staff, (ii) consulting fees of $643,508 or $48,701 less than 1995, (iii) professional fees of $653,968 or $31,225 less than last year, (iv) the one-time cashless exercise of options and warrants by a former employee of the Company of $562,912, (v) private placement professional fees relating to Ion of $244,515 and (vi) other expenses of $711,622. Interest expense for 1996 was $9,531, a decrease of $55,205 compared with interest expense for 1995 of $64,736. The decrease was due to satisfaction in full of the Company's $550,000 loan from SMT Investment Partnership in 1995. See Notes 4 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the above, net loss for 1996 decreased by $378,828 to $7,008,889 compared with a net loss of $7,387,717 for 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of securities, from which it has raised an aggregate of approximately $24.7 million through December 31, 1996. On February 28, 1997, the Company closed a private offering of 35,000 shares of its 7% Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, which raised total gross proceeds of $3.5 million. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements. The proceeds of this offering will be used to fund research and development, patent prosecution and for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the possible acquisition of rights in new technologies in the Company's ordinary course of business. From inception through December 31, 1996, the Company earned $396,913 in interest on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company invests excess cash in cash equivalents and short-term investments in a cash management account that invests in U.S. government securities and high grade corporate investments. In addition, in 1996, the Company signed its first sub-license agreement for its Liposome-CD4 technology and earned a sub-license fee that is included in sub-license fee revenue. Net cash used in development stage activities was $6,043,876, $7,541,937 and $23,521,045 during 1996, 1995, and from inception in 1986 through 1996, respectively. Cash of $6,420,834, $9,346,901 and $25,220,193 was provided by the issuance of securities in 1996, 1995 and from inception in 1986 through 1996, respectively. The Company's total assets at December 31, 1996, were $2,773,884, an increase of $552,834 from the previous year's total assets of $2,221,050, principally due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, reflecting the cash received from the warrant discount program and sub-license revenue. The Company's liabilities at December 31, 1996, consisting of accounts payable, sponsored research and capital lease obligations, totaled $1,078,047 compared to $428,687 at December 31, 1995. The Company spent approximately $15.5 million through December 31, 1996 to fund certain ongoing technology research projects and expects to incur additional costs in the future, including costs relating to its ongoing sponsored research and development activities, preclinical and clinical testing of its product candidates and the hiring of additional personnel. The Company may also bear considerable costs in connection with filing, prosecuting, defending and/or enforcing its patent and other intellectual property claims. Therefore, the Company will need substantial additional capital before it will recognize significant cash flow from operations, which is contingent on the successful commercialization of the Company's technologies by third parties through licenses, joint ventures or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that any of the technologies to which the Company currently has or may acquire rights to can or will be commercialized or that any revenues generated from such commercialization will be sufficient to fund existing and future research and development activities. -4- While the Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its results of operations, there can be no assurance that inflation in the future will not impact financial markets which, in turn, may adversely affect the Company's valuation of its securities and, consequently, its ability to raise additional capital, either through equity or debt instruments, or any off-balance sheet refinancing arrangements, such as collaboration and licensing agreements with other companies. The Company expects that its existing capital resources, including the current private placement offering noted above, will enable it to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. Because the Company does not expect to generate significant cash flows from operations for at least several years, the Company believes it will require additional funds to meet future costs. The Company will attempt to meet the balance of its capital requirements with existing cash balances and through additional public or private offerings of its securities, debt financing, and collaboration and licensing arrangements with other companies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such additional funds or enter into such collaborative and licensing arrangements on terms favorable to the Company, if at all. The Company's sponsored research and technology development program may be curtailed if future financings are not completed. The table below indicates (i) the Company's direct research and development expenses by project for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and from the Company's inception to December 31, 1996, (ii) the Company's current estimate by project of committed and/or anticipated funding requirements after December 31, 1996 and (iii) revenues received to date by project.

The amounts and rate of application of the Company's funds to any particular project are expected to fluctuate and will depend in part on the Company's successful completion of various stages of research, the availability of additional financing and the Company's identification and acquisition of rights in new technologies in the future. -5- ITEM 9.
