The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 4 ANTIVIRALS INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial information included herein for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the financial information as of September 30, 1997 is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The financial information as of December 31, 1996 is derived from AntiVirals Inc.'s (the Company's) Registration Statement of Form SB-2 dated June 3, 1997. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 and prospectus, dated June 3, 1997. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE ("SFAS 128"), superseding Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 ("APB 15"). SFAS 128 establishes a different method of computing net income per share than is currently required under the provisions of APB 15. Under SFAS 128, the Company will be required to present both basic net income per share and diluted net income per share. SFAS 128 is required to be adopted for periods ending after December 15, 1997. As the Company has recorded losses for all periods presented, SFAS 128 has no effect on as reported loss per share amounts. NOTE 3. EXERCISE OF OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION In July 1997, the Company's Underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and purchased 300,000 additional units at $9 per unit, the initial public offering price, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock for $13.50. Net proceeds of $2,478,600 were received by the Company. NOTE 4. RESCISSION OFFERING In July 1997, the Company completed its rescission offering to certain shareholders. In this offering, the Company repurchased 64,049 shares of its common stock for payments totaling $408,419, which included interest expense of $119,624. NOTE 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On November 6, 1997, the Company announced it had signed a letter of intent to acquire ImmunoTherapy Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company, for $24 million in stock and warrants. Subject to the companies reaching a definitive agreement, the transaction will be accounted for as a purchase with substantially all of the purchase price written off as in process research and development. 5 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION The Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the following discussion. The discussion in this Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this discussion should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this filing. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, the results of research and development efforts, the results of pre-clinical and clinical testing, the effect of regulation by the FDA and other agencies, the impact of competitive products, product development, commercialization and technological difficulties and those risks discussed in "Risk Factors" included in the Company's Prospectus dated June 3, 1997, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this filing. OVERVIEW From its inception in July 1980, the Company has devoted its resources primarily to fund its research and development efforts. The Company has been unprofitable since inception and, other than limited interest and grant revenue, has had no material revenues from the sale of products or other sources, and does not expect material revenues for at least the next 12 months. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as it expands its research and development efforts. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's accumulated deficit was $15,228,208. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating expenses increased to $1,042,968 in the third quarter of 1997 from $601,935 in the third quarter of 1997 and to $2,996,761 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $1,616,246 for the comparable period of 1996 due to increases in research and development staffing and expenses associated with outside collaborations, regulatory affairs, and pre-clinical testing of the Company's technologies. Interest income increased to $212,612 and $304,560, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 from $6,114 and $87,703 in the comparable periods of 1996 due to increased interest earning cash balances in 1997 from proceeds from a third quarter 1996 private placement, the Company's initial public offering in June 1997 and the sale of additional shares in the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in July 1997. Interest expense increased to $119,624 for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 from zero for the comparable periods of 1996 reflecting interest paid to shareholders who participated in the Company's rescission offering, which was completed in July 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $18,458,290 at September 30, 1997, compared with $3,011,229 at December 31, 1996. The increase of $15,447,061 was primarily due to net proceeds of $17,688,263 from the Company's initial public offering 6 effective June 3, 1997 and from the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in July 1997, offset by $1,874,154 used in operations, $288,795 used to repurchase shares pursuant to the Company's rescission offering and $221,363 used for investing activities which consist primarily of purchases of property and equipment and patent related costs. Accounts payable increased from $153,202 at December 31, 1996 to $526,042 at September 30, 1997, primarily due to the accrual of costs associated with the Company's initial public offering. The Company's future expenditures and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, without limitation, the progress of its research and development programs, the progress of its pre-clinical and clinical trials, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights, competing technological and market developments, the ability of the Company to establish collaborative arrangements and the terms of any such arrangements, and the costs associated with commercialization of its products. The Company's cash requirements are expected to increase significantly each year as it expands its activities and operations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will ever be able to generate product revenues or achieve or sustain profitability. The Company does not expect to raise additional funds in order to satisfy its cash requirements over the next twelve months. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
