CYTODYN INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
1 - Organization
CytoDyn Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name Rexray Corporation (Rexray). In October 2003, the Company (under its previous name RexRay Corporation) entered into an Acquisition Agreement with CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company acquired assets related to our leading drug candidate, Cytolin, including the assignment of the patent license agreement dated July 1, 1994 between CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. and Allen D. Allen covering three United States patents along with foreign counterpart patents which describe a method for treating Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) disease with the use of monoclonal antibodies. This includes issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057, as well as European Patent Nos. 0690725 and 1438970. In addition, Hong Kong Patent No. 1067958, Australian Patent No. 684074 and Canadian Patent No. 2156495 have been obtained as well. The Company also acquired the federally registered trademarks, CYTODYN (U.S. Registration No. 2095498) and CYTOLIN (U.S. Registration No. 2095497), and a related trademark symbol. The license acquired gives the Company the worldwide, exclusive right to develop, market and sell compounds disclosed by the patent claims, practice methods taught by the patent claims, and exploit specified technology related to the patents. The term of the license agreement is for the life of the patents of which the first will expire in 2013. The original expiration dates on the issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057 are 2013, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As consideration for the intellectual property and trademarks the Company paid CytoDyn of New Mexico $10,000 in cash and issued 5,362,640 post-split shares of common stock to CytoDyn of New Mexico.
The Company entered the development stage effective October 28, 2003 upon the reverse merger and recapitalization of the Company and follows Financial Standard Accounting Codification No. 915, Development Stage Entities.
CytoDyn Inc., discovered and is developing a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to address significant unmet medical needs in the areas of HIV and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Advanced Genetic Technologies, Inc. (AGTI) was incorporated under the laws of Florida on December 18, 2006 pursuant to an acquisition during 2006.
On May 16, 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, CytoDyn Veterinary Medicine LLC (CVM), which will explore the possible application of the Companys existing proprietary monoclonal antibody technology to the treatment of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). The Company views the formation of CVM and the exploration of the application of its existing proprietary monoclonal antibody technology to FIV as an effort to strategically diversify the use of its proprietary monoclonal antibody technology.
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results for these periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 and notes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2011. Operating results for the three and six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 and the period October 28, 2003 through November 30, 2011, (b) the financial position at November 30, 2011, and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 and the period October 28, 2003 through November 30, have been made.
7
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CytoDyn Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries; AGTI and CVM. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, total liabilities, total shareholders deficit, or net loss.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is currently in the development stage with losses for all periods presented. The Company incurred a net loss of $2,664,188 for the six months ended November 30, 2011, has an accumulated deficit of $19,624,482, and a working capital deficit of $5,727,749 as of November 30, 2011. As of January 14, 2012, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its medical treatment, obtain U.S. Food & Drug Administration (the FDA) approval, outsource manufacturing of the treatment, and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company intends to seek additional funding through equity offerings to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of November 30, 2011 or May 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions, and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. All of the Companys non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at November 30, 2011 due to a temporary federal program in effect from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. Under the program, there is no limit to the amount of insurance for eligible accounts. Beginning 2013, insurance coverage will revert to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and our non-interest bearing cash balances may again exceed federally insured limits.
As of November 30, 2011, the Company received a total of $1,425,000 in cash related to deposits received from common stock purchases as compared to $1,035,000 as of May 31, 2011. These amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the respective periods. These deposits were received by the Company from prospective investors (the Prospective Investors) after the Company made an announcement on February 18, 2011 related to its potential rescission and other liabilities to investors who had made investments in the Company during the period beginning on April 15, 2008 and ending on February 18, 2011. Subsequent to November 30, 2011, the Company sent confirmations to the Prospective Investors asking them to either confirm their investment in the Company or request that their deposit be returned to them. As discussed in Note 8, the Company received confirmations for $665,000 of the $1,425,000 in cash deposits. As of November 30, 2011, the $665,000 is shown as a long-term liability, as this amount will be recorded as a component of equity upon the signing of the confirmations by the Prospective Investors.

Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and major improvements or betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on sales or retirements are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the year of disposition.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets under U.S. GAAP, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. There were no impairment charges for the three and six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period October 28, 2003 through November 30, 2011.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Financial Instruments
At November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011 the carrying value of the Companys financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The Companys notes payable have market rates of interest, and accordingly, the carrying values of the notes approximates the fair value.
Stock-Based Compensation
U.S. GAAP requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (requisite service period).
The Company accounts for common stock options, and common stock warrants granted based on the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions such as expected stock price volatility, term of the options and warrants, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield at the grant date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock options. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys common stock at consistent intervals. The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The computation of the expected option term is based on the simplified method as the Companys stock options are plain vanilla options and the Company has a limited history of exercise data. For common stock options and warrants with graded vesting, the Company recognizes the related compensation costs associated with these options and warrants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
U.S. GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested option forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented.
Deferred Offering Costs
In connection with a stock rescission liability as discussed at Note 3, the Company has recorded approximately $710,000 and $876,000 in deferred offering costs as of November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011, respectively. These deferred offering costs have been recorded as a current asset for the respective periods. The asset will be offset against equity, and reduce equity in the period the investors described in Note 3 do not accept the rescission right and keep their shares. Conversely, if the investors accept the rescission right and forfeit their shares, the deferred offering costs will be expensed at that time.
9
Stock for Services
The Company issues common stock, warrants and common stock options to consultants for various services. Costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterpartys performance is complete.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents. The effects of potential common stock equivalents are not included in computations when their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share calculation. Common stock option and warrants to purchase 7,948,076 and 7,374,176 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for these periods. Additionally as of November 30, 2011, 311,800 shares of Series B convertible stock can potentially convert into 3,118,000 shares of common stock, and 1,425,000 shares of common stock will be issued related to deposits on common stock purchases if the Company is confirmed to do so by the Prospective Investors.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 Uncertainty in Income Taxes (ASC 740-10). A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits at May 31, 2011 or 2010 and since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for tax years ending after 2007.
3 - Rescission Liabilities
The Companys board of directors (the Board) was advised by outside legal counsel that compensation the Company previously paid to an employee and certain other non-employees who were acting as unlicensed, non-exempt broker-dealers soliciting investors on behalf of the Company from April 15, 2008 to February 18, 2011 was a violation of certain state and possibly federal securities laws. As a result, such investors and potentially others have rescission or monetary claims (Claims) against the Company, and the Companys liability for these potential Claims is now being properly reflected in the Companys financial statements. On March 16, 2011, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the potential rescission liability (the Liability Disclosure). On July 21, 2011, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing its receipt of an SEC letter of inquiry and request for voluntary assistance in discovering information related to the Liability Disclosure. By letter dated January 3, 2012, the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission notified the Company that the SEC had completed its informal investigation of the Company and is recommending no enforcement action be taken against the Company, or its officers, directors, or employees.
10
Rescission rights for individual investors and subscribers vary, based upon the laws of the states in which the investors or subscribers reside. Investments and subscriptions that are subject to rescission are recorded separately in our financial statements from stockholders deficiency in the Companys balance sheet. As the statute of limitations expire in the respective states, such amounts for those shares are reclassified to stockholders deficiency. Investors who have sold their shares of capital stock of the Company do not have rescission rights, but instead have claims for damages, to the extent their shares were sold at a net loss, which is determined by subtracting the purchase price plus statutory interest and costs (if any) from the sale price.
Based on the Companys ongoing investigation, assuming there are no affirmative defenses or exemptions available to the Company, investors may have up to approximately $6.4 million of federal and state Claims against the Company as of the date of filing this Form 10-Q. These investor Claims could include approximately $4.22 million of potential state or foreign jurisdiction Claims involving approximately 17 states and five foreign jurisdictions that may not be currently barred by the applicable statute of limitations or state law exemptions from broker-dealer registration requirements and these investors may also have overlapping federal Claims; the remainder could involve investors who do not have state law Claims but who may have federal rescission or damages rights if such rights can be proven to exist because of the Companys failure to disclose contingent liabilities related to the state and foreign jurisdiction Claims. The Company is continuing with its scientific and business plans in the ordinary course and is currently seeking to obtain a Letter of Credit to provide the Company the financial ability with respect to any potential Claims. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company has been notified by one Investor regarding such investors intent to seek rescission in the amount of $10,000.
The Company estimates an amount that is a probable indicator of the rescission liability andrecorded rescission liabilities for November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011 of $4,222,000 and $4,851,000, respectively. These amounts represent the believed potential rescission liability as of the dates presented, including any contingent interest payable to investors who accept the rescission right, and forfeit their shares. For the purpose of calculating and disclosing rescission liability, the Company has assumed that portions of the state claims are barred by the statutes of limitations of certain states based upon a literal interpretation of the applicable statute. Although the Company has assumed that affirmative defenses based upon the expiration of the statutes of limitations in these states may be generally available to bar these state claims, it has not had legal counsel undertake a detailed analysis of case law that might apply to defer or avoid application of a bar to such claims; thus, if rescission claims are made for those assumed to be barred by a statute of limitations and such claims are contested by the Company, until such affirmative defenses are ruled upon by judge in a proceeding adjudicating the rights at issue, no assurances can be made that, if asserted, such defenses would actually bar the rescission claims in these states.
The Company is considering methods to offer to rescind the previous investment purchase or subscription by persons who acquired or subscribed for such investments during the period April 15, 2008 to February 18, 2011. The Company may commence a rescission offer to give each investor the opportunity to rescind or not rescind their investment (if not already sold) or subscription agreements or by certain shareholders between April 15, 2008 to February 18, 2011. Any rescission offer could address all or part of the Companys rescission liability relating to its federal and state securities laws compliance issues by allowing the investors covered by the rescission offer to rescind the underlying securities transactions and sell those back to the Company or recover funding provided with subscription agreements, as the case may be.
The Company entered into a seven year Personal Services Agreement on August 4, 2008 (the Contract), with Nader Pourhassan pursuant to which compensation was paid or accrued in view of a subsequent determination that these payments violated applicable securities laws. Such violations gave rise to the Companys rescission obligation reflected in the Financial Statements. It was unclear whether the Company had any defenses to payment, whether the Company had any rights to recover payments made to Mr. Pourhassan or others at his direction or as contemplated in the Contract (including payments in the form of securities); or whether, even if the Company does have such rights, Mr. Pourhassan (and perhaps others) would have certain equitable remedies that would entitle Mr. Pourhassan (and perhaps others) to set off against the Companys rights or would obligate the Company to make compensatory payments for services performed by Mr. Pourhassan (and others under his direction).
The Contract provided for compensation to Dr. Pourhassan at an annual salary of $200,000. Additionally, as incentive compensation, Dr. Pourhassans personal assistant and one additional person were to receive 50,000 common shares each of the Company stock for every $500,000 in capital received by the Company through Dr. Pourhassans efforts.
11
On October 11, 2011, Dr. Pourhassan and the Company entered into a Mutual Release and Personal Services Termination Agreement (the MRPSTA) which relieves the Company of liability for any claims of compensation under the Contract. Simultaneously, with the signing of the MRPSTA, Dr. Pourhassan and the Company entered into a new Employment and Non-Compete Agreement whereby Dr. Pourhassan will serve as Managing Director of Business Development at an annual salary of $200,000. The Company had been accruing stock compensation and deferred offering costs related to the Contract as described above. Upon the signing of the MRPSTA, the Company at May 31, 2011 reversed all accrued stock compensation and deferring offering costs, as the Company currently has no further obligations under the Contract.
4 - Convertible Instruments
During fiscal year 2010 the Company issued 400,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B) at $5.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $2,009,000. The Series B is convertible into ten shares of the Companys common stock including any accrued dividend, with an effective fixed conversion price of $.50 per share. The holders of the Series B can only convert their shares to common shares provided the Company has sufficient authorized common shares at the time of conversion. Accordingly, the conversion option was contingent upon the Company increasing their authorized common shares, which occurred April 2010 when the Companys shareholders approved an increase to the authorized shares. At the commitment date, which occurred upon the shareholders approving the increase in the authorized shares, the conversion option related to the Series B was beneficial. The intrinsic value of the conversion option at the commitment date resulted in a constructive dividend to the Series B holders of approximately $6,000,000. The constructive dividend increased and decreased additional paid-in capital by the same amount. The Series B has liquidation preferences over the common share holders at $5.00 per share plus any accrued dividends. Dividends are payable to the Series B holders when declared by the board of directors at the rate of $.25 per share per annum. Such dividends are cumulative and accrue whether or not declared and whether or not there are any profits, surplus or other funds or assets of the Company legally available therefore. The Series B holders have no voting rights.
5 - Stock Options and Warrants
The Company has one stock-based equity plan at November 30, 2011. Pursuant to the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan as amended (the Plan), which was originally adopted by the Companys shareholders in 2005, the Company was authorized to issue options and warrants to purchase up to 7,600,000 shares of the Companys common stock. As of November 30, 2011 the Company had 3,425,500 shares available for future stock option grants under the Plan.
During the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Company granted 700,000 common stock options with an exercise price of $2.00, which vest ratably over one to four years and have an expiration date of five years from the date of grant.
Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants was $-0- for the three and six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Compensation expense related to stock options and warrants was approximately $550,000 and $791,000, and $218,000 and $451,000, for the three and six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The grant date fair value of options and warrants vested during the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $245,000 and $456,000, and $218,000 and $451,000, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of options and warrants granted during the six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1.25 and $0.90, respectively. As of November 30, 2011 there was approximately $2,224,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based payments for unvested options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.39 years.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements.
7 - Related Party Transactions
A director provided legal services to the Company over the past several years. As of November 30, 2011 the Company owed the director $38,985 and it is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as indebtedness to related parties as of November 30, 2011. The amount has been classified as short-term, as the Companys intention is to pay the note completely in the next twelve months. As of November 30, 2011 the note is past due.
In May and July 2007, the Company issued $150,000 in promissory notes with a stated interest rate of 14% to a director of the Company. These notes are currently past due. As of November 30, 2011, the balance in the notes is $110,000.

The above terms and amounts are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.
8 - Subsequent Events
On December 15, 2011, the Board unanimously elected Anthony D. Caracciolo to serve as a member of the Board. Mr. Caracciolo was formerly employed at Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead), a research-based biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative medicines in areas of unmet medical need, from 1997 until retiring in October of 2010. During his tenure, Mr. Caracciolo served as Senior Vice President, Manufacturing and Operations and was a senior member of Gileads executive committee, which was responsible for the strategic and operational direction of Gilead.
On November 14, 2011, the Board approved a private placement to sell up to 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, no par value, at a price of $1.50 per share. The offering commenced on or about December 1, 2011 and was completed on December 31, 2011. 1,997,388 shares were sold for proceeds totaling $2,996,082.
13
Following November 30, 2011, the Company received confirmations from the Prospective Investors representing approximately $665,000 of the $1,425,000 in cash related to deposits received from common stock purchases occurring subsequent to February 18, 2011. In those confirmations, such Prospective Investors confirmed their investment in the Company. As of the date of the filing, the Company has not received any requests from any of the Prospective Investors that their investments in the Company be returned.
Subsequent to November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a release agreement with certain consultants. Pursuant to the release agreement, the Company granted the consultants 250,000 warrants at exercise prices ranging from $2.10 to $2.95, with immediate vesting, and expiration dates of one to two years. The warrants were granted for past services, and for the three and six months ended November 30, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $260,000 in stock-based compensation expense.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
THROUGHOUT THIS FILING, WE MAKE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE WORDS ANTICIPATE, BELIEVE, EXPECT, INTEND, PREDICT, PLAN, SEEK, ESTIMATE, PROJECT, WILL, CONTINUE, COULD, MAY, AND SIMILAR TERMS AND EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, INFORMATION REGARDING FUTURE OPERATIONS, FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, AND FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS. SUCH STATEMENTS REFLECT THE COMPANYS CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, GENERAL ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS, CHANGES IN FOREIGN, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, REGULATORY INITIATIVES AND COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE ABILITY TO ACHIEVE MARKET PENETRATION AND ATTRACT CUSTOMERS, AND VARIOUS OTHER MATTERS, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE COMPANYS CONTROL. SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THESE RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES OCCUR, OR SHOULD UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE TO BE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, OR OTHERWISE INDICATED. CONSEQUENTLY, ALL OF THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS FILING ARE QUALIFIED BY THESE CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS OR DEVELOPMENTS.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Quarterly Report, including our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements including information about possible or assumed results of our financial conditions, operations, plans, objectives and performance that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated and set forth in such forward-looking statements.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
For the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 we had no activities that produced revenues from operations.
For the three months ended November 30, 2011, we had a net loss of approximately $1,497,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $990,000 for the corresponding period in 2010. For the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred operating expenses of approximately $1,492,000 and $985,000, respectively, consisting primarily of stock-based compensation, professional fees, research and development and salaries.
The increase in operating expenses of approximately $507,000 from the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011 related primarily to increases in legal fees, stock-based compensation, salaries, and accounting fees, offset by decreases in research and development. Research and development expenses are associated with the development of our lead product, Cytolin ®. As discussed above, we are currently in clinical trials with our product. We expect the trend in research and development expenses to increase as our product progresses through clinical trials. Legal fees and accounting fees have increased during the current quarter compared to previous quarter as a result of the increase in our external filings and rescission liability. We expect the trend to stabilize, as our filings become more consistent. The trend in all of our expenses will depend on our ability to raise additional funds, including the increase in salary expense related to the hiring of our current CEO, CFO and controller.
14
Results of Operations for the six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
For the six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 we had no activities that produced revenues from operations.
For the six months ended November 30, 2011, we had a net loss of approximately $2,664,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $1,538,000 for the corresponding period in 2010. For the six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred operating expenses of approximately $2,650,000 and $1,529,000, respectively, consisting primarily of stock-based compensation, professional fees, research and development and salaries.
The increase in operating expenses of approximately $1,121,000 from the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended November 30, 2011 related primarily to increases in legal fees, accounting fees, salaries, stock-based compensation, and research and development expenses. This was offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation. Research and development expenses are associated with the development of our lead product, Cytolin ®. As discussed above, we are currently in clinical trials with our product. We expect the trend in research and development expenses to increase as our product progresses through clinical trials. Legal fees and accounting fees have increased during the current six-month period in 2011 when compared to the comparable six-month period in 2010 as a result of the increase in our external filings and rescission liability. We expect the trend to stabilize, as our filings become more consistent. The trend in all of our expenses will depend on our ability to raise additional funds, including the increase in salary expense related to the hiring of our current CEO, CFO and controller.
Rescission Liability
We recorded rescission liabilities for November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011 of $4,222,000 and $4,851,000, respectively. These amounts represent the believed potential rescission liability as of the dates presented, including any contingent interest payable to investors who accept the rescission right, and forfeit their shares. For the purpose of calculating and disclosing rescission liability, the Company has assumed that portions of the state claims are barred by the statutes of limitations of certain states based upon a literal interpretation of the applicable statute. Although the Company has assumed that affirmative defenses based upon the expiration of the statutes of limitations in these states may be generally available to bar these state claims, it has not had legal counsel undertake a detailed analysis of case law that might apply to defer or avoid application of a bar to such claims; thus, if rescission claims are made for those assumed to be barred by a statute of limitations and such claims are contested by the Company, until such affirmative defenses are ruled upon by judge in a proceeding adjudicating the rights at issue, no assurances can be made that, if asserted, such defenses would actually bar the rescission claims in these states. See Footnote 3 of our Financial Statements on page 10 for further information regarding these rescission liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 30, 2011, we had negative working capital of approximately $(5,728,000) as compared to a negative working capital of approximately $(5,022,000) on May 31, 2011.
As of November 30, 2011, we received a total of $1,425,000 in liabilities related to deposits received from common stock purchases as compared to $1,035,000 as of May 31, 2011. These deposits were received by us from prospective investors (the Prospective Investors) after we made an announcement on February 18, 2011 related to our potential rescission and other liabilities to investors who had made investments in us during the period beginning on April 15, 2008 and ending on February 18, 2011. Subsequent to November 30, 2011, we sent confirmations to the Prospective Investors asking them to either confirm their investment in us or request that their deposit be returned to them. During the six months ended November 30, 2011, we spent approximately $1,295,181 of the deposits received from the Prospective Investors to fund our working capital needs. Despite this fact, we still intend to return the deposit (or any portion thereof) received from the Prospective Investors if requested to do so by any of the Prospective Investors. Following November 30, 2011, we received confirmations from the Prospective Investors representing approximately $665,000 of the $1,425,000 in cash related to deposits received from common stock purchases. In those confirmations, such Prospective Investors confirmed their investment in us. As of the date of the filing, we have not received any requests from any of the Prospective Investors that their investments in us be returned.
15
On November 14, 2011, the board of directors of the Company (the Board) approved a private placement to sell up to 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, no par value, at a price of $1.50 per share. The offering commenced on or about December 1, 2011 and was completed on December 31, 2011. 1,997,388 shares were sold for proceeds totaling $2,996,082.
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1,298,000 during the six months ended November 30, 2011, which reflects an increase of approximately $502,000 from net cash used in operating activities of approximately $796,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2010. The increase in the net cash used in operating activities for the above periods was primarily attributable to the increase in the net loss, off-set by the increase in accounts payable and stock-based compensation.
There were no significant changes in cash used in investing activities from the six months ended November 30, 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $192,000 from November 30, 2010 to the comparable quarter as a result of proceeds from stock deposits, offset by decreases in common stock proceeds and deferred offering costs.
As shown in the accompanying Financial Statements, for the six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, and since October 28, 2003 through November 30, 2011 we incurred net losses of approximately $2,664,000 and $1,538,000 and $18,023,000, respectively. As of November 30, 2011, we have not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, we have financed our activities principally from the sale of public and private equity securities and proceeds from notes payable. We intend to finance our future development activities and our working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources.
As previously mentioned, since October 28, 2003, we have financed our operations largely from the sale of common stock and preferred stock and proceeds from notes payable. From October 28, 2003 through November 30, 2011 we raised cash of approximately $7,508,000 (net of offering costs) through private placements of common and preferred stock financings and approximately $1,537,000 through the issuance related party notes payable and convertible notes. Additionally, the Company has raised approximately $612,000 from the issuance of common stock and preferred stock in conjunction with certain acquisitions in prior years. In April 2010, our shareholders voted to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000 shares; accordingly, we intend to continue to finance our operations through the sale of our shares.
Since October 28, 2003 through November 30, 2011, we have incurred approximately $2,572,000 of research and development costs and approximately $17,490,000 in operating expenses. We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of November 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $19,624,000 and negative working capital of approximately $(5,625,000).
We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products will increase significantly in the future. We currently do not have any significant material commitments related to capital expenditures. As described above, we do have material commitments related to our current study of our product with MGH, and have potential obligations under our contracts with Vista.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of November 30, 2011, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of November 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of November 30, 2011 as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting because of inadequate segregation of duties over authorization, review and recording of transactions as well as the financial reporting of such transactions. Management is attempting to develop a plan to mitigate the above material weaknesses. Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
