Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The condensed financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the
Company in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and the accounting
policies in its Form 10-KSB filed for the year ended May 31, 2005 and should be
read in conjunction with the notes thereto.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the
interim periods presented. The results of operations presented for the period
ended February 28, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year.
The Company is in the development stage in accordance with Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7 "Accounting and Reporting by
Development Stage Enterprises".
Financial data presented herein are unaudited.
Note 2: Related Party Transactions
As of May 31, 2005, the Company owed two officers promissory notes totaling of
$86,502. The notes are due on demand and carry no interest rate. On June 2,
2005, an officer advanced the Company an additional $5,000 for working capital;
on July 13, 2005, the Company repaid an officer $38,324; on August 31, 2005, an
officer advanced the Company $197; and on January 4, 2006, an officer advanced
the company $18,000. Management plans to repay the notes through cash payments,
issuance of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof. The balance
due of $71,375 remained unpaid at February 28, 2006 and is included in the
accompanying condensed financial statements as "Indebtedness to related
parties".
A director has provided legal services to the Company over the past several
years. As of May 31, 2005, the Company owed the director $87,185 for legal
services. During the nine months ended February 28, 2006, the Company repaid the
director $5,000. The remaining balance of $82,185 is included in the
accompanying financial statements as "Indebtedness to related parties". As of
February 28, 2006, no arrangements had been made for the Company to repay the
balance of this obligation. The Company anticipates that the director will
continue to provide legal services in the future.
Note 3: Notes Payable
As of May 31, 2005, the Company had seven unsecured notes payable to
individuals, totaling $121,000. The notes were issued in February and March
2005, carried a 5% interest rate, and matured one year from the date of the
note. On August 29, 2005, the Company extinguished the outstanding promissory
notes and related accrued interest with the issuance of 160,110 shares of its
common stock and payment of $3,189.46 representing $3,172.46 in accrued interest
and $17.00 in lieu of fractional shares.
During quarter ended February 28, 2006, the Company issued convertible
promissory notes and warrants to purchase common stock to individuals in
exchange for proceeds totaling $222,500. The notes bear interest at five percent
per annum and mature in January and February 2007. Principal and accrued
7
interest are payable in any combination of cash and common stock of the Company
at the option of the lender. The Company can repay principal and accrued
interest with common stock at a rate of $1.25 per share. Accrued interest
payable on the notes totaled $895 at February 28, 2006.
The warrants to purchase common stock which accompanied the convertible
promissory notes are exercisable at $2.50 per share, vest immediately, and
expire in October 2010. Pursuant to APB No. 14, the Company valued the warrants
at their relative fair value of $128,929. To recognize the relative fair value
of the warrants, the Company discounted the notes and increased additional paid
in capital in the condensed financial statements. The discount is amortized over
one year. During the quarter ended February 28, 2006, the Company amortized
$10,374 of the discount.
In accordance with EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27, the Company valued the intrinsic
value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature related to the option for
conversion into the Company's common stock at $93,571. To recognize the
beneficial conversion feature, the Company discounted the notes and increased
additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. The discount is amortized over one year. During the quarter ended
February 28, 2006, the Company amortized $7,529 of the discount.
On January 5, 2005, we entered into a buy-sell agreement to purchase
intellectual property owned by Symbion. The agreement describes the intellectual
property in detail which summarized, is the Phase 1 clinical data and the
protocol for the Phase II study.
Under the terms of this agreement:
* CytoDyn, Inc may purchase Symbion's Phase I clinical data in
connection with obtaining approval from the FDA to conduct the Phase
II/Phase III stud(ies) for Cytolin.
* CytoDyn, Inc will grant 83,122 non-qualified stock options with an
exercise price of $.75 per share that will vest immediately and be
exercisable over 5 years.
* CytoDyn, Inc were to pay $25,000 to Symbion by February 10, 2005, 30
days after execution of the agreement.
* CytoDyn, Inc will pay $275,000 to Symbion once our secondary financing
is received.
We have paid Symbion $25,000 out of the loan proceeds we received in March 2005.
Although the payment was late, Symbion has accepted it and the contract is in
force.
Symbion has agreed to amend the agreement to allow an extension of time for us
to pay Symbion the remaining balance due. The options were granted on March 20,
2006 by the Board of Directors.
Note 4: Income Taxes
The Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". The Company incurred net operating losses for all
periods presented resulting in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for
by a valuation allowance; therefore, the net benefit and expense resulted in
$-0- income taxes.

Note 9: Litigation
Rex H. Lewis, a Defendant and former director and C.E.O. of Amerimmune
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against CytoDyn of
New Mexico, Inc., (predecessor company) Allen D. Allen, Corinne E. Allen, Ronald
J. Tropp, Brian J. McMahon , Daniel M. Strickland, M.D. and unknown others
designated as "Does 101-150".
12
The Cross-Complaint was settled pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into
by the parties involved. The terms of the agreement are confidential.
In connection with that settlement, Mr. Lewis and Maya LLC were awarded by the
Los Angeles Superior Court attorneys' fees in the amount of approximately
$150,000. We have appealed the Court's order. The matter has not yet been
briefed. Management believes we have a strong basis to appeal.
Rex Lewis and Maya LLC filed a complaint against CytoDyn, Inc., CytoDyn of New
Mexico, Inc., Allen D. Allen and Corinne Allen in the Los Angeles Superior
Court. The complaint sought monetary damages and contains causes of action
against us. We and the other defendants have demurred and moved to strike many
of the allegations contained in the causes of actions. The Court has not yet
ruled on the demurrer or the motion to strike. Neither party has conducted any
discovery at this time as it is not clear what claims will be at issue. No trial
date has been set.
13
Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months, our objectives are
Cytolin (AIDS Drug)
* to mount further FDA clinical trials in needed to get Cytolin to U.S.
markets;
* to begin development of Cytolin(r) in China through joint venture with
Timeway International;
* to continue our efforts to protect our technology by obtaining
additional patents in The United Kingdom, the European Union and Hong
Kong;
* to enforce court judgments that have been awarded to us and Symbion
Research International, Inc.; and
* To acquire complimentary drugs for our drug pipeline through a
strategic alliance with UTEK(r).
Formaxycin(tm)( Cancer Drug)
* to negotiate for a contract manufacturer; and
* to begin preclinical studies.
Operations
* to raise approximately $3 to $5 million in additional funds to support
our research and development efforts, the clinical trials relating to
Cytolin, and our general and administrative expenses;
* to explore other national or international joint venture or licensing
arrangements including through, Charkit Chemical Corporation and
OmniChem;
* to appoint additional independent directors; and
* to expand our Scientific Advisory Board.
Clinical Trials on Cytolin(r)
Phase I clinical trials were conducted by Symbion Research International under
the sponsorship of Amerimmune, Inc. during 2002. We believe that the data from
these trials support approval by the FDA of Phase II trials. The results of the
Phase I clinical trials were awarded to Symbion by the Superior Court of
California due to a breach of contract on the part of Amerimmune.
14
Projected costs to complete our research and development and to obtain FDA
approval Phase II clinical trials:
We have negotiated with Symbion International for the right to use the Phase 1
data for a total of $362,000 and to seek approval for the Phase II trials from
the FDA. If the Phase II study is approved by the FDA, we expect it, together
with the pre-Phase II efforts, to cost an estimated $2,050,000 to $3,350,000 for
Symbion to conduct the clinical trials, plus estimated manufacturing and supply
costs of $350,000 to $400,000 and $362,000 for the Phase Ia/b data for a total
of $2,762,000 to $ 4,112,000.
Timing and anticipated completion dates for research and development:
These trials can take anywhere from 29 to 42 months. Until we have met with the
FDA, which we hope to do within the next two months, we cannot be certain what
additional studies, assuming that Phase II study supports the efficacy and
safety of Cytolin, will be required to receive marketing approval.
Date we expect to begin benefiting from the product:
We expect to complete our research and development of all Cytolin clinical
trials needed for approval of a marketing application if at all by December
2009.
Risks and uncertainties associated with completing development within reasonable
period of time and if products are not completed on a timely basis:
Even if we are able to complete the development within a reasonable period of
time our competitors could still come out with something competitive to our
product. Toxicity in the product could go undetected until Phase IV Safety
Surveillance after drug approval. We may have to continue to litigate to protect
technology, or challenges to patents that have not yet expired, etc. The medical
community may lack of acceptance of our product. There may be an inability to
secure 3rd party payees such as if Medicare would cover costs. Post registration
manufacturing problems or downturn of economy or industry could also be risks.
If we are unable to complete clinical trials on a timely basis, with favorable
results, our costs will increase significantly and we may not have enough
capital to support further research and development and continue in business.
Also, if we incur significant delays in being able to market our product, even
if we are ultimately able to do so, we will be delayed in earning revenues and
probably will require additional financing to continue in business.
Development of Cytolin(r) in China.
-----------------------------------
We signed a letter of intent with Timeway International to form a joint venture
for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and distributing Cytolin(r) in
China. As of the date of this filing, Timeway is reviewing the data from our FDA
IND ( Investigative New Drug Application) and negotiations should commence
following the completion of Timeway's due diligence.
Other Products in Pipeline
--------------------------
Formaxycin(tm): Our CEO, Allen D. Allen acquired the intellectual property
rights from Dr. Vera Stecher for a cancer treatment which he will license to us
as part of his portfolio of intellectual property. We are in the preclinical
stage as a treatment for cancerous and pre-cancerous cells. We applied for a
15
U.S. trademark, Formaxycin(tm) for the cancer treatment. We are in the process
of looking for a manufacturer for the preclinical work. and have executed a
Confidentiality Agreement with Charkit Chemical to assist us in this matter, as
well as with overseas licensing matters.
Projected costs to manufacture and complete the necessary pre-clinical testing
cannot be estimated until a manufacturing agreement has been executed.
Timing and anticipated completion dates for research and development cannot be
estimated until a manufacturing agreement has been executed.
The date we expect to begin benefiting from the product could be anywhere from
two years to eight years depending upon the method of extraction of a
nonsynthetic antineoplastic agent and licensing, if any.
Risks and uncertainties
There can be no assurance that Formaxycin will be approved as a drug nor
acceptable as a nutraceutical nor that a patent will be issued and enforceable.
Competing products could adversly impact the demand for Formaxycin even if a
stage is reached where we could market it.
Patents
During fiscal year 2004, several European patents were granted. The new patents
are covered by our License Agreement with Allen D. Allen, our president that
gives us the exclusive right to develop his technology worldwide. These patents
are designated European Patent No. 94 912826.8, for the United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden, and
are the counterparts to our United States Patent No. 5424066. Patents are
pending in those same countries which, if granted, will be the equivalent of our
United States Patent No. 5651970. We estimate the costs associated with these
pending patents to be approximately $65,000, including amounts we have already
spent. We may file additional patents during the current fiscal year if our
research and development efforts warrant them, but we do not have any such
potential patents identified at this time other than Hong Kong. The license
acquired gives us the right to develop Mr. Allen's patents worldwide.
We have applied for the trademark name Formaxycin(tm) as the name of its cancer
treatment in the preclinical stages.
Litigation
For a thorough discussion of our pending litigation, please see the section
entitled "Legal Proceedings."
Establishing a Market and Obtaining Funding
-------------------------------------------
On June 17, 2005 5:00pm EST, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our
public registration prospectus effective. 450,000 shares were then sold at $0.75
per shares and the offering was closed July 31, 2005. The proceeds from the
public offering will pay for company expenditures through January 2006. We will
require additional funding during the 2006 fiscal year in order to continue with
research and development efforts and to stay in business. If we are able to
complete further offerings, we will not be able to pay our expenses for more
than six months. Additional funding will have to occur within the next twelve
months in order to continue operations. The amount of that funding is directly
related to the clinical trials we are able to conduct and the amounts we will
need to continue operations.
16
On January 3, 2006 we entered into a Financial Representative Agreement
("Agreement") with J.P Turner & Company LLC. Under the Agreement, J.P Turner's
investment banking division will on a best efforts basis attempt to find
investors to complete an offering to raise capital to fund our operations. The
amount of capital has not yet been decided. In return JP Turner will receive 10%
commission in cash and warrants to purchase a number of our restricted common
shares equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the offering. The strike price of
the warrants shall be the lesser of the closing bid price of our stock on the
day prior to the Closing or the price paid by the investors. The warrants vest
immediately and may be exercised over five years. Warrants have customary
anti-dilution provisions for stock dividends, splits, mergers and sale of
substantially all of the assets. There is a cashless exercise provision. JP
Turner played a similar role in our original private placement. Past performance
does not guarantee future success. The term of the agreement is for one year.
All terms for the investment shall be satisfactory to us.
In January and February 2006, we issued Convertible Notes totaling $222,500. The
terms are:
$1.25 Conversion price for stock and an equal amount in warrants were also
assigned. The notes carry 5% interest and are due in 1 year.
The NASD assigned us the ticker symbol CYDY.OB and we were cleared to trade on
the Over-The-Counter-Bulletin Board (OTCBB) on November 18, 2005. We intend to
apply for a listing on a national stock exchange such as the NASDAQ within the
next 12 months.
In addition to operating funds, we will need from approximately $2,762,000 to
$4,112,000 for research and development, including clinical trials, and
manufacturing and supply costs, depending upon whether we are approved by the
FDA to conduct a Phase II study on Cytolin(r). We have not yet determined what
additional capital will be needed to develop Formaxycin(tm) at the date of this
filing. Those amounts will also need to be raised.
We do not have any of this funding arranged or secured, and we do not yet have
plans for raising the funding we require. We anticipate that we will seek the
funding through further equity offerings, either by private placement or by
registered offering, or by possible joint venture arrangements with other
parties. If we are unable to secure the necessary funding, we will not be able
to conduct our research and development activities or to continue in business.
