YES [X] NO [_] As of April 28, 2000 there were 11,206,458 shares of registrant's Common Stock, $.01 par value, outstanding. During January 2000, Hollis-Eden entered into new agreements settling its pending arbitration with Mr. Prendergast, Colthurst and Edenland. In consideration for the foregoing, Hollis-Eden agreed to issue to Colthurst 660,000 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock at $25 per share. Only 132,000 of such shares of Common Stock will be issued in 2000 with the remaining 528,000 shares to be issued over the next four years conditioned on continued compliance with the agreement and, in particular, satisfaction of the conditions. In addition, all of the shares under the warrant vest over four years conditioned on continued compliance with the agreement and, in particular, satisfaction of the conditions. Originally, Hollis-Eden booked during the first quarter of 2000, a one-time non-cash charge of $10.7 million for all of the Comon Stock and warrants to be issued for the transfer of technology to the Company. Based on further analysis of the accounting treatment (see footnote 2 of the financial statements) and subsequent events, the Company has reversed all such charges for the shares and warrants except for those shares actually issued during 2000. Thus, during the first quarter of 2000, the Company took a non- cash charge of $1.9 million representing the fair value of 132,000 shares due under the agreement during 2000.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 5 HOLLIS-EDEN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The information at March 31, 2000, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, is unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Hollis-Eden Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Hollis-Eden" or the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2000. 2. Issuance of Common Stock / Warrants for Technology Acquisition On January 20, 2000, Hollis-Eden reached a settlement on its pending arbitrations with Mr. Prendergast, Colthurst and Edenland. The Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement completely disposed of all of the matters that were at issue in the pending arbitrations. In addition, the parties entered into two new technology agreements, the Technology Assignment Agreement and the Sponsored Research and License Agreement. The Technology Assignment Agreement replaces the Colthurst License Agreement. Pursuant to the Technology Assignment Agreement, Mr. Prendergast and Colthurst assigned to Hollis-Eden ownership of all patents, patent applications and current or future improvements of the technology under the Colthurst License Agreement, including HE2000, Hollis-Eden's lead clinical compound. The annual license fee of $500,000 and the royalty obligations under the Colthurst License Agreement have been eliminated. In consideration for the foregoing, Hollis-Eden agreed to issue to Colthurst 660,000 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock at $25 per share. Only 132,000 of such shares of Common Stock will be issued in 2000 with the remaining 528,000 shares to be issued over the next four years conditioned on continued compliance with the agreement and, in particular, satisfaction of the Conditions (as defined below). In addition, all of the shares under the warrant vest over four years conditioned on continued compliance with the agreement and, in particular, satisfaction of the Conditions (as defined below). The Sponsored Research and License Agreement replaces the Edenland License Agreement and the Research, Development and Option Agreement. Pursuant to the Sponsored Research and License Agreement, Edenland exclusively licensed to Hollis-Eden a number of compounds, together with all related patents and patent applications, and Hollis-Eden agreed to fund additional preclinical research projects conducted by Edenland. Hollis-Eden will also have exclusive license rights to all results of such research and will have royalty obligations to Edenland on sales of new products, if any, resulting from such research. In consideration for the license agreement, within a month of receipt of all required documents, the Company is obligated to pay Edenland $2 million. These funds were accrued in the first quarter of 2000. As stated above, the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock and the vesting of the warrant is dependent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (the "Conditions"), including (i) support of Hollis-Eden's actions by Mr. Prendergast and Colthurst, by voting their shares of Hollis-Eden stock in favor of management and (ii) Mr. Prendergast and his affiliated companies not conducting research and development activities relating to the transferred technology. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, these future events could not be determined at the date of the agreements (January 2000). Accordingly, the shares and warrants will be accounted for as they vest or are issued. During the first quarter of 2000, we recorded a research and development charge for $1.9 million representing the fair value of the 132,000 shares due under the agreement during 2000. 6 3. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK FOR LICENSE FEES The Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Humanetics Corporation on January 28, 2000. In consideration of the license agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Humanetics 38,000 shares of Common Stock with a value of $15.75 per share. The issuance of the Common Stock resulted in a $598,500 non-cash charge during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION The forward-looking comments contained in the following discussion involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences can be found in the following discussion, as well as in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. While management believes that the discussion and analysis in this report is adequate for a fair presentation of the information, management recommends that this discussion and analysis be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2000. GENERAL Hollis-Eden Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a development-stage pharmaceutical company, is engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of products for the treatment of infectious diseases and immune system disorders, including HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C and malaria. We are focusing our initial development efforts on a potent series of adrenal steroid hormone analogs. Our lead compound in this series, HE2000, is currently in Phase I/II clinical studies in the U.S. and South Africa. By altering cytokine production, HE2000 appears from early clinical studies to help reestablish immune system balance in situations such as HIV where the immune system is dysregulated. In the setting of HIV we believe that, by reestablishing this balance, the immune system may be able to better control virus levels and potentially delay or prevent the progression to AIDS. In addition, based on the mechanism of action, we believe this compound will have an attractive safety profile and will avoid issues of resistance that plague many existing antiviral drugs. The ability to restore immune system balance has the potential to have broad applicability to a wide variety of infectious diseases and oncology- related applications as well as a number of inflammatory conditions. To more fully exploit this commercial opportunity we have begun an aggressive research and licensing effort designed to expand both the number of compounds in development and the breadth of potential therapeutic applications. Several compounds resulting from these activities are in late stage preclinical development and are candidates for clinical trials. We are pursuing a partially integrated approach to building our business. As such, we intend to utilize third parties for many of our activities such as clinical development and manufacturing. We believe by being involved in the design and supervision of these activities, but not the day-to-day execution, we can preserve 7 our flexibility and limit our net losses during the development phase. If we are able to successfully develop HE2000 or other pharmaceutical products, we anticipate marketing them directly in the U.S. and potentially elsewhere, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. For certain therapeutic indications or geographic regions, we anticipate establishing strategic collaborations to commercialize these opportunities. We have not yet generated any operating revenues. We have experienced significant operating losses due to substantial expenses incurred to acquire and fund development of our drug candidates and, as of March 31, 2000, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $35.7 million. We cannot guarantee that any of our drug candidates will be approved for commercial sale or that any of the foregoing proposed arrangements will be implemented or prove to be successful. Hollis-Eden has been unprofitable since inception. We expect to incur substantial additional operating losses for at least the next few years as we increase expenditures on research and development and begin to allocate significant and increasing resources to our clinical testing and other activities. In addition, during the next few years, we will have to meet the substantial new challenge of developing the capability to market products. Accordingly, our activities to date are not as broad in depth or scope as the activities we must undertake in the future, and our historical operations and financial information are not indicative of future operating or financial condition or our ability to operate profitably as a commercial enterprise when and if we succeed in bringing any drug candidate to market. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Hollis-Eden has not generated any revenues for the period from the founding, on August 15, 1994, through March 31, 2000. We have devoted substantially all of our resources to the payment of licensing fees and research and development expenses in addition to expenses related to the startup of our business. From the founding until March 31, 2000, we have incurred expenses of approximately $20.5 million in research and development and $19.4 million in general and administrative expenses, which has been partially offset by $4.2 million in net interest income resulting in a cumulative loss of $35.7 million, of which $12.6 million consisted of non-cash expenses. Research and development operating expenses increased to $4.2 million from $759,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Included in the first quarter of 2000 was $2.2 million in license and collaboration expenses related to new or restructured collaborations. There were no such expenses in the first quarter of 1999. Research and development operating expenses relate primarily to ongoing development, preclinical testing and clinical trial expenses for the Company's drug candidates. The increase in research and development operating expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999, was due mainly to increased staffing and preclinical and clinical trial activities. In the three months ended March 31, 2000, research and development non-cash charges of $2.5 million were incurred for costs relating to issuances of Common Stock. The non-cash charges are comprised of $1.9 million relating to our new Technology Assignment Agreement (see note 2) and $600,000 relating to our new license agreement with Humanetics Corporation (see note 3). There were no such charges for the same time period in 1999. General and administrative operating expenses were $1,077,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to $966,000 for the same period in 1999, reflecting an increase of $111,000. The general and administrative expenses relate to staffing, facilities, supplies, benefits, recruiting, legal and travel. The increase in general and administrative operating expenses was mainly due to expenses associated with the growth of the Company's operations. During the three-month period ending March 31, 1999, $7.1 million in general and administrative expenses were incurred for non-cash charges relating to issuances of options and warrants. There were no such charges for the three- month period ended March 31, 2000. 8 Net interest income increased to $644,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to $498,000 for the same period in 1999. The interest income increase is primarily due to higher interest rates and higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents as a result of our private placement of common stock on January 25, 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Hollis-Eden has financed its operations since inception through the sale of shares of stock and with loans from our founder, Richard B. Hollis, which were repaid in January 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1995, Hollis-Eden received cash proceeds of $250,000 from the sale of securities. In May 1996, we completed a private placement of shares of Common Stock, from which we received aggregate gross proceeds of $1.3 million. In March 1997, the merger of Initial Acquisition Corp. and Hollis-Eden provided us with $6.5 million in cash and other receivables. During May 1998, we closed a private placement of shares of Common and Preferred Stock with gross proceeds totaling $20.6 million. During January 1999, we closed two private placements of shares of Common Stock with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $24.8 million. In addition, we have received $12.6 million from the exercise of options and warrants. Hollis-Eden's operations to date have consumed substantial capital without generating any revenues, and we will continue to require substantial and increasing amounts of funds to conduct necessary research and development and preclinical and clinical testing of our drug candidates, and to market any drug candidates that receive regulatory approval. We do not expect to generate revenue from operations for the foreseeable future, and our ability to meet our cash obligations as they become due and payable is expected to depend for at least the next several years on our ability to sell securities, borrow funds or some combination thereof. Based upon our current plans, we believe that our existing capital resources, together with interest thereon, will be sufficient to meet our operating expenses and capital requirements at least well into 2001. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in our research and development plans or other events affecting our operating expenses will not result in the expenditure of such cash before that time. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising necessary funds. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with preclinical testing and clinical trials, the number and breadth of our programs, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, competing technological and market developments, and our ability to establish collaborative arrangements, effective commercialization, marketing activities and other arrangements. In any event, we expect to continue to incur increasing negative cash flows and net losses for the foreseeable future. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Not applicable. 9 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On January 20, 2000, Hollis-Eden reached a settlement on its pending arbitration with Patrick T. Prendergast, Colthurst and Edenland. The Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement completely disposed of all of the matters that were at issue in the pending arbitration. In addition, the parties entered into two new technology agreements, the Technology Assignment Agreement and the Sponsored Research and License Agreement (see note 2). The settlement resulted in the Company acquiring ownership rights to HE2000 and terminating all future obligations under the Colthurst and Edenland License Agreements, and the Research, Development and Option Agreements. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES During January 2000, the Company entered into a new Technology Assignment Agreement which replaces the Colthurst License Agreement. The Company agreed to issue 660,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $25 per share. Only 132,000 shares of Common Stock are to be issued in 2000, with the remaining Common Stock to be issued over the next four years conditioned on Colthurst's and Mr. Prendergast's continued compliance with the agreement. In addition, all of the shares under the warrant will vest over the next four years conditioned on continued compliance with the agreement. During January 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement with Humanetics Corporation. The Company agreed to issue to Humanetics as a license fee, 38,000 shares of Common Stock. The sales and issuances of securities in the transactions described in the foregoing paragraphs were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated under such Act. The recipients in each case represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Appropriate legends are affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions. All recipients either received adequate information about the Company or had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information. 10 ITEM 3.
