We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Arbios Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Arbios Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors

Arbios Technologies, Inc.

(a development stage company)

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of Arbios Technologies, Inc. (a development stage company) for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the related statement of shareholders’ equity for the period from August 23, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Arbios Technologies, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the related statement of shareholders’ equity for the period from August 23, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of $237,574, and the Company’s net cash used in operating activities was $191,389. These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Its planned principal operations have not yet commenced, with the exception of research and development, which were initiated in 2000 and are being vigorously pursued. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities. All revenues are recognition of grant payments received. The Company does not consider this revenue arising out of business operations.

 

Interim Financial Statements:

 

The accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

 

Federal Government Grants:

 

The Company is partially funded by certain governmental grants. Grant payments are recorded as revenue as expenses are incurred. Reimbursements recorded under these grants are subject to governmental audit. Management believes that material adjustments will not result from subsequent audits, if any, of costs reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Comprehensive Income:

 

SFAS No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. For the period from inception to September 30, 2003, comprehensive income consists solely of net loss and, therefore, there is no Schedule of Comprehensive Income included in the financial statements.

 

Property and Equipment:

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets of five years.

 

Patent Rights:

 

The Company purchased the exclusive right to certain patents (see Note 3). These patents are recorded at fair market value as of the date of purchase. They are amortized over the estimated useful life or remaining legal life at the date of purchase, whichever is shorter.

 

Deferred Employee Loan-Out Costs Receivable:

 

The Company purchased the loan-out of certain employees in exchange for junior preferred stock (see Note 4). These loan-out costs are expensed as the employee services are performed.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

The Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading, including cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, have carrying amounts which approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

 

Income Taxes:

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Under APB 25, employee compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period based on the excess, if any, on the date of grant of the deemed fair value of the Company’s shares over the employee’s exercise price. When the exercise price of the employee share options is less than the fair value price of the underlying shares on the grant date, deferred stock compensation is recognized and amortized to expense in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28 over the vesting period of the individual options. Accordingly, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Options or shares awards issued to non-employees are valued using the fair value method and expensed over the period services are provided.

 

Loss Per Share:

 

The Company utilizes SFAS No. 128, “Earning per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Ninety thousand (90,000) options have been excluded from dilutive loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In October 2001, the FASB recently issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which requires companies to record the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred. The statement applies to a company’s legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction, and development or through the normal operation of a long-lived asset. When a liability is initially recorded, the company would capitalize the cost, thereby increasing the carrying amount of the related asset. The capitalized asset retirement cost is depreciated over the life of the respective asset while the liability is accreted to its present value. Upon settlement of the liability, the obligation is settled at its recorded amount or the company incurs a gain or loss. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Statement 144 addresses the accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. New criteria must be met to classify the asset as an asset held-for-sale. This statement also focuses on reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt”, and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements” and FASB Statement No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers”. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases”, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Continued:

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In October 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 147, “Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9”, which removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with Statements No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In addition, this Statement amends SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. The requirements relating to acquisitions of financial institutions are effective for acquisitions for which the date of acquisition is on or after October 1, 2002. The provisions related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of certain long-term customer-relationship intangible assets are effective on October 1, 2002. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company has not engaged in either of these activities.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure”, which amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of Statement 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with earlier application permitted in certain circumstances. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company has not elected to change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Continued:

 

During April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149—“Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, except as stated below, all provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The provisions of this Statement that relate to Statement 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. In addition, paragraphs 7(a) and 23(a), which relate to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be applied to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. The Company does not participate in such transactions, however, is evaluating the effect of this new pronouncement, if any, and will adopt FASB 149 within the prescribed time.

 

During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150—“Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a freestanding financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. The Company is evaluating the effect of this new pronouncement and will adopt FASB 150 within the prescribed time.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Interpretation 46 changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. Previously, the criteria were based on control through voting interest. Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. The consolidation requirements of Interpretation 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2003 the FASB concluded to revise certain elements of FIN 46, which will be issued shortly. The FASB also modified the effective date of FIN 46. For all entities that were previously considered special purpose entities, FIN 46 should be applied in periods ending after December 15, 2003. Otherwise, FIN 46 is to be applied for registrants who file under Regulation SX in periods ending after March 15, 2004, and for registrants who file under Regulation SB, in periods ending after December 15, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the period from August 23, 2000 (inception) to September 30, 2003, the research and development costs incurred were $431,199, $140,514 and $879,983, respectively. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has $391,713 as carryforward to apply to future years.

 

The Company is subject to paying royalty fees to the licensor equal to 1.5% of the gross sales price of royalty bearing products. From year three to the tenth year of the license the royalty fee percent will phase out evenly to 0%. As of September 30, 2003, December 31, 2002 and 2001 the Company had not paid any royalty fees since it did not have any sales of royalty bearing products.

 

(4) Deferred Employee Loan-Out Costs:

 

In June 2001, the Company received a commitment for the loan-out of certain employees over a two-year period in exchange for junior preferred stock (see Note 9).

(5) Advanced Payments for Stock Subscriptions:

 

During September 2003, the Company received $2,310,000 in subscription payments for units of the Company’s common stock and warrants, the sale of which is expected to close in October 2003. Inasmuch as the sale is contingent upon a number of factors, including a merger transaction, these amounts have been presented as a current liability in the accompanying financial statements.

 

(6) Convertible Promissory Note:

 

In September 2003, the Company issued units of convertible subordinated notes and warrants, consisting of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) for an aggregate of $400,000 and 300,000 warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at $1 per share. The Notes bear interest at 7% per annum and are due on the earlier of March 31, 2004 or upon the occurrence of various other events or conditions set forth in the Note. Under the terms of the Note, the holders retain the right, subject to certain exceptions, to convert all or any part of the principal outstanding under the Notes into (i) shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to $1 and (ii) warrants for the purchase of Company’s common stock at $2.50 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event we affect a stock split, combination or like transaction. The warrant price is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, combination or like transaction.

 

The Company recorded the Note net of a discount equal to the fair value allocated to the warrants issued of approximately $122,390. The Note also contained a beneficial conversion feature, which resulted in additional debt discount of $122,390. The beneficial conversion amount was measured using the accounting intrinsic value, i.e. the excess of the aggregate fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible over the proceeds allocated to the security. The Company is accreting the beneficial conversion feature as interest expense over the life of the note. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company recorded $20,400 as interest expense from the amortization of the discount related to fair value of the warrants and from the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature.

 

(7) Deferred fees:

 

On June 1, 2003, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with CeMines Biologics, LLC. (“CeMines”). In consideration for the services provided by the Company, CeMines paid $30,000 in advance and agreed to pay $170,000 according to a schedule of payments. Revenue from this Agreement will be recognized as fees are collected and earned over the contractual period, which is three (3) years.

(9) Stockholders’ Equity, Continued:

 

Junior Preferred Stock

 

Holders of shares of junior preferred stock are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends of $0.04 per share. Such dividends will be cumulative in the limited events of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company occurring after three years from the issuance date. Holders of junior preferred stock are also entitled to liquidation rights, which entitle the holder to be paid out of available funds and assets, prior to paying common shareholders, at an amount equal to the original issue price plus declared but unpaid dividends.

 

Junior preferred shareholders have equivalent voting rights to that of common shareholders. At the option of the junior preferred shareholder, or automatically after the effective date of a Registration Statement with respect to common stock, the junior preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to the original issue price as such price may be adjusted by certain events to prevent dilution. The junior preferred stock is not redeemable. As of September 30, 2003, December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had 681,818 junior preferred shares issued and outstanding.

The Plan allows the Company to grant common stock and options to purchase common stock to employees, directors, and consultants. The Company may grant a maximum of 790,498 shares of common stock under the Plan. The Plan administrator has the discretion to set the exercise price, vesting terms, and other relevant terms of the options at the time of the grant.

 

Stock Compensation

 

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock based compensation plans.

 

If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost for its stock options and warrants based on the fair value at the grant dates, in accordance with SFAS 123, net earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows:

Stock Compensation, Continued

 

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model; dividend yield nil, expected volatility 100%, risk free interest rate 5.0% and expected life of 4 years.

 

(10) Research Costs:

 

On December 26, 2001, the Company received a commitment for research costs in the amount of $550,000 from Spectrum Laboratories, Inc. (“Spectrum”) partially in exchange for 362,669 shares of common stock (See Note 8). Spectrum was required to expend at least $137,500 per year toward the development of the Company’s liver-assist system. The agreement was to expire on November 30, 2005 and stipulated the following yearly minimum research costs expenditures by Spectrum:

 

Twelve Months Ending December 31,

      

2002

   $ 148,958

2003

     137,500

2004

     137,500

2005

     126,042
    

Total

   $ 550,000
    

 

In the event Spectrum expended more than the minimum annual amount in any year, the excess was carried over to the subsequent year. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the period from August 23, 2000 (inception) to September 30, 2003, the research and development costs incurred by Spectrum was $0. The Company may repurchase a portion of the foregoing shares for nominal consideration if less than the specified amounts are expended by Spectrum.

 

In July 2002, the Company and Spectrum agreed that, since the prototype system had been delivered early, all 362,669 shares issued to Spectrum on December 26, 2001, were deemed fully vested and any future obligations of $550,000 research cost commitment was deemed fulfilled. In addition, any additional research and development work requested from Spectrum by the Company and the cost of such work will be negotiated in good faith before the work is initiated and that the Company will pay for such work in 36 monthly cash installments. Furthermore, the Company agreed that billings of $109,360, through September 29, 2002, were due for research costs already provided, in lieu of the original $550,000 obligation. This amount will be reduced by $54,400 in payment for the 362,669 shares already received, and the Company shall pay the balance of $54,960 to Spectrum in cash in monthly payments over an 18-month period starting November 1, 2002.

(13) Subsequent Event:

 

On October 30, 2003, the Company completed a merger with a newly-formed subsidiary of a public company. Immediately prior to the merger, all of the conditions to the release of the subscription funds were met, and the subscription funds were released to the Company, thereby extinguishing the Company’s potential obligation to return the subscription proceeds to the subscribers. In addition, in connection with the merger, all of the convertible promissory notes were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, thereby extinguishing the Company’s obligation to repay those promissory notes. Finally, prior to the merger, the Company raised an additional $1,690,000 from the private sale of 1,690,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

 

The Reorganization became effective as of October 30, 2003. In the Reorganization, in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Arbios Technologies, Inc. (Subsidiary), Arbios Systems, Inc. (Parent) issued 11,930,598 shares of its common stock.

 

  (1) The inventory that Parent owned will not be used by the combined companies after the Reorganization and will be sold for minimal consideration.

 

  (2) Irrevocable subscriptions for the purchase of 2,310,000 shares of Subsidiary for $2,310,000 were held in a segregated account pending the Reorganization and were released to Subsidiary immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization. Accordingly, at the time of the Reorganization, the subscriptions were released and the 2,310,000 shares of common stock represented thereby were issued.

 

  (3) The convertible promissory notes were converted into additional shares of common stock immediately prior to the Reorganization.

 

  (4) All of the Subsidiary’s issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock were exchanged for, and converted into shares of common stock prior to the Reorganization.

 

  (5) All of the Subsidiary’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock were converted into shares of common stock of Parent.

 

  (6) The increase in the number of shares and common stock value reflects a 100% stock dividend issued by the Parent in connection with the Reorganization.

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

 

  a) The outstanding shares of the Subsidiary as of September 30, 2003, do not include 1,690,000 shares issued after that date but prior to Reorganization.
