PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Generex Biotechnology Corporation is engaged primarily in the research and
development of drug delivery technologies. Our primary focus at the present time
is our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large
molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a hand-held aerosol applicator.
A substantial number of large molecule drugs (i.e., drugs composed of molecules
with a higher than specified molecular weight) have been approved for sale in
the United States or are presently undergoing clinical trials as part of the
process to obtain such approval, including various proteins, peptides,
monoclonal antibodies, hormones and vaccines. Unlike small molecule drugs, which
generally can be administered by various methods, large molecule drugs
historically have been administered predominately by injection. The principal
reasons for this have been the vulnerability of large molecule drugs to
digestion and the relatively large size of the molecule itself, which makes
absorption into the blood stream through the skin or mucosa inefficient or
ineffective.
All injection therapies involve varying degrees of discomfort and inconvenience.
With chronic and sub-chronic diseases, the discomfort and inconvenience
associated with injection therapies frequently results in less than optimal
patient acceptance of, and compliance with, the prescribed treatment plan. Poor
acceptance and compliance can lead to medical complications and higher disease
management costs. Also, elderly, infirm and pediatric patients with chronic or
sub-chronic conditions may not be able to self-inject their medications. In such
cases assistance is required which increases both the cost and inconvenience of
the therapy.
Our goal is to develop proprietary formulations of large molecule drugs that can
be administered through the buccal mucosa, primarily the inner cheek walls,
thereby eliminating or reducing the need for injections. We believe that our
buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that has application to many
large molecule drugs, and provides a convenient, non-invasive, accurate and cost
effective way to administer such drugs. We have identified several large
molecule drugs as possible candidates for development, but to date have focused
our development efforts on a buccal insulin product.
Our first product is an insulin formulation that is administered as a fine spray
into the oral cavity using a hand-held aerosol spray applicator. Between January
1999 and September 2000, we conducted limited clinical trials on this product in
the United States, Canada and Europe. In September 2000, we entered into an
agreement (the "Development and License Agreement") to develop this product with
Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly"). To date, over 800 patients with diabetes have
been dosed with our oral insulin product at approved facilities in seven
countries. We conducted several clinical trials with insulin supplied by Lilly
under our Development and License Agreement. Lilly did not, however, authorize
or conduct any clinical trials or provide financial support for those trials. We
did receive a $1,000,000 up front payment from Lilly. On May 23, 2003, we
announced that we had agreed with Lilly to end the Development and License
Agreement for the development and commercialization of buccal delivery of
insulin. On November 5, 2003, we entered into a termination agreement with Lilly
terminating the Development and License Agreement, effective as of June 2, 2003.
In accordance with the termination agreement, we retain all of the intellectual
property and commercialization rights with respect to buccal spray drug delivery
technology, and we have the continuing right to develop and commercialize the
product. We also entered into a Bulk Supply Agreement (the "Bulk Supply
Agreement") for the sale of human insulin crystals by Lilly to us over a three
year period. The Bulk Supply Agreement establishes purchase prices, minimum
purchase requirements, maximum amounts which may be purchased in each year and a
non-refundable prepayment of $1,500,000 to be applied against amounts due for
purchases.
2
In January 2001, we established a joint venture with Elan International
Services, Ltd. ("EIS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elan Corporation, plc (EIS
and Elan Corporation, plc being collectively referred to as "Elan"), to pursue
the application of certain of our and Elan's drug delivery technologies,
including our platform technology for the buccal delivery of pharmaceutical
products, for the treatment of prostate cancer, endometriosis and/or the
suppression of testosterone and estrogen. In January 2002, we and Elan agreed to
expand the joint venture to encompass the buccal delivery of morphine for the
treatment of pain and agreed to pursue buccal morphine as the initial
pharmaceutical product for development under Generex (Bermuda) Ltd., the entity
through which the joint venture is being conducted. This expansion of the joint
venture occurred after we successfully completed a proof of concept clinical
study of morphine delivery using our proprietary buccal delivery technology.
In connection with the joint venture, EIS purchased 1,000 shares of a new series
of our preferred stock, designated as Series A Preferred Stock, for $12,015,000.
We applied the proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock to
subscribe for an 80.1% equity ownership interest in Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. EIS
paid in capital of $2,985,000 to subscribe for a 19.9% equity ownership interest
in the joint venture entity. Alternatively, the Series A Preferred Stock may be
converted, under certain conditions, into shares of our common stock. Subsequent
to its purchase of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, EIS transferred the
shares to an affiliate of Elan. While we presently own 80.1% of the joint
venture entity, the Elan affiliate has the right, subject to certain conditions,
to increase its ownership up to 50% by exchanging the Series A Preferred Stock
for 30.1% of our equity ownership of the joint venture entity. In accordance
with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, if any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are outstanding on January 16, 2007, we are required to redeem
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the
aggregate Series A Preferred Stock liquidation preference (which currently
equals the aggregate original purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock),
either in cash, or in shares of common stock with a fair market value equal to
the redemption price. In January 2002, 2003 and 2004, pursuant to the terms of
the agreement with EIS, the Elan affiliate received a 6% stock dividend of
Series A Preferred Stock.
EIS also purchased 344,116 shares of our common stock for $5,000,000. We were
permitted to use the proceeds of this sale for any corporate purpose. If the
joint venture achieves certain milestones, we may require EIS to purchase an
additional $1,000,000 of our common stock at a 30% premium to the then
prevailing fair market value of our common stock.
Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. was granted non-exclusive licenses to utilize our buccal
delivery technology and certain Elan drug delivery technologies. Using the funds
from its initial capitalization, Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. paid a non-refundable
license fee of $15,000,000 to Elan in consideration for being granted the rights
to utilize the Elan drug delivery technologies.
To date we have not received any substantial economic support from Elan in
connection with the joint venture or the development of the morphine product,
other than its initial capital contribution. However, we have continued to
conduct research and development activities with the morphine product.
3
In August 2003, we acquired Antigen Express, Inc. Antigen is engaged in the
research and development of technologies and immunomedicines for the treatment
of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases.
Our immunomedicine products work by stimulating the immune system to either
attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop
attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens). Our
immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies that were
discovered by an executive officer of Antigen, the Ii-Key hybrid peptides and
Ii-Suppression. The immunomedicine products are in the pre-clinical stage of
development, and trials in human patients are not expected for at least 6
months. Development efforts are underway in melanoma, breast cancer, prostate
cancer, HIV, influenza virus, smallpox, SARS and Type I diabetes mellitus. We
are establishing collaborations with clinical investigators at academic centers
to advance the technology, with the ultimate goal of conducting human clinical
testing.
We do not expect to receive any revenues from product sales in the current
fiscal year. However, we have received and we expect to continue to receive some
revenue from research grants for Antigen's immunomedicine products. To date, we
have received a total of $627,184 in such research grants. We do not expect the
research grants to fully fund Antigen's expenses. We expect to satisfy all of
our cash needs during the current year from capital raised through equity
financings.
We are a development stage company, and from inception through the end of fiscal
year 2004 had not received any revenues from operations other than the up-front
payment from Lilly. We have no products approved for commercial sale by drug
regulatory authorities. We have begun the regulatory approval process for only
three products, our oral insulin formulation, morphine and fentanyl. We believe
that our buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that has
application to a large number of large molecule drugs in addition to insulin.
Estrogen, heparin, monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone, fertility
hormone, as well as a number of vaccines are among the compounds that we have
identified as possible candidates for product development.
Buccal Delivery Technology
Our buccal delivery technology involves the preparation of a proprietary
formulation in which an active pharmaceutical agent is placed in a solution with
a combination of absorption enhancers and other excipients classified generally
recognized as safe ("GRAS") by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") when
used in accordance with specified quantity and other limitations. The resulting
formulation is aerosolized with a pharmaceutical grade chemical propellant and
is administered to the patient using our proprietary RapidMist(TM) device. The
device is a small, lightweight, hand-held, easy-to-use aerosol applicator
comprised of a container for the formulation, a metered dose valve, an actuator
and dust cap. Using the device, the patient self-administers the formulation by
spraying it into the mouth. The device contains multiple applications, the
number being dependent, among other things, on the concentration of the
formulation. Absorption of the pharmaceutical agent occurs in the buccal cavity,
principally through the inner cheek walls. In clinical studies of our insulin
product Oralin(TM), insulin absorption in the buccal cavity has been shown to be
very efficacious. We are also evaluating the use of our RapidMist device for the
delivery of both morphine and fentanyl.

Buccal Insulin Product
Insulin is a hormone that is naturally secreted by the pancreas to regulate the
level of glucose, a type of sugar, in the bloodstream. The term diabetes refers
to a group of disorders that are characterized by the inability of the body to
properly regulate blood glucose levels. When glucose is abundant, it is
converted into fat and stored for use when food is not available. When glucose
is not available from food, these fats are broken down into free fatty acids
that stimulate glucose production. Insulin acts by stimulating the use of
glucose as fuel and by inhibiting the production of glucose. In a healthy
individual, a balance is maintained between insulin secretion and glucose
metabolism.
There are two major types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile onset diabetes
or insulin dependent diabetes) refers to the condition where the pancreas
produces little or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5-10 percent of
diabetes cases. It often occurs in children and young adults. Type 1 diabetics
must take daily insulin injections, typically three to five times per day, to
regulate blood glucose levels.
In Type 2 diabetes (adult onset or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus), the
body does not produce enough insulin, or cannot properly use the insulin
produced. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease and accounts
for 90-95 percent of diabetes cases. In addition to insulin therapy, Type 2
diabetics may take oral drugs that stimulate the production of insulin by the
pancreas or that help the body to more effectively use insulin.
If not treated, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney disease, nerve disease,
amputation, heart disease and stroke. Each year, between 12,000 and 24,000
people lose their sight because of diabetes. Diabetes is also the leading cause
of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure), accounting for about 40% of new
cases.
In addition, about 60-70 percent of people with diabetes have mild to severe
forms of diabetic nerve damage, which, in severe forms, can lead to lower limb
amputations. Diabetics are also 2 to 4 times more likely to have heart disease,
which is present in 75 percent of diabetes-related deaths, and are 2 to 4 times
more likely to suffer a stroke.
There is no known cure for diabetes. The World Health Organization estimates
that there are currently over 1.5 billion diabetics worldwide. It is further
estimated that this number will almost double by the year 2025. There are
estimated to be 17 million people suffering from diabetes in North America
alone, approximately 5 million of whom are undiagnosed, and diabetes is the
second largest cause of death by disease in North America.
We conducted the first clinical trials of our buccal insulin formulation with
human subjects in Ecuador in January 1998. We ultimately conducted a number of
studies in Ecuador in 1998, each of which involved a selection of between 8 and
10 patients. The principal purpose of these studies was to evaluate the
effectiveness of our oral insulin formulation in humans compared with injected
insulin and placebos. In March 2004, we entered into a Letter of Intent for the
establishment of a joint venture with Pharma Brand S.A., a distributor of
pharmaceutical products in Central and Latin America. In furtherance of this
joint venture, in August 2004, the Oralin(TM) dossier has been submitted to the
Ecuador Ministry of Public Health seeking approval for the manufacturing,
marketing, distribution and sale of Oralin(TM) and RapidMist(TM) Diabetes
Management System.
5
On the basis of the test results in Ecuador and other pre-clinical data, we made
an Investigatory New Drug submission to the Health Protection Branch in Canada
(Canada's equivalent to the United States' Food and Drug Administration) in July
1998, and received permission from the Canadian regulators to proceed with
clinical trials in September 1998. We filed an Investigational New Drug
Application with the Food and Drug Administration in October 1998, and received
FDA approval to proceed with human trials in November 1998.
We began our clinical trial programs in Canada and the United States in January
1999. Between January 1999 and September 2000 we conducted clinical trials of
our insulin formulation involving approximately 200 Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic
patients and healthy volunteers. The study protocol in most trials involved
administration of two different doses of our insulin formulation following
either a liquid sustacal meal or a standard meal challenge. The objective of
these studies was to evaluate our insulin formulation's efficacy in controlling
post-prandial (meal related) glucose levels. These trials demonstrated that our
insulin formulation controlled post-prandial hyperglycemia in a manner
comparable to injected insulin.
In April 2003, we were granted permission to commence Phase II-B clinical trials
in Canada. In September 2003, we commenced a 90 day study in 80 Type 2 diabetic
patients with poorly controlled blood glucose. The objective of the study is to
determine the metabolic effect of our insulin product.
We continue to conduct limited clinical studies and seek additional
collaborative partners in the United States, and other countries.
Other Large Molecule Drug Projects
We have identified numerous compounds, other than insulin, as candidates for
product development.
Morphine and Fentanyl
The delivery of morphine and fentanyl by oral formulation (pills) and injection
for the treatment of moderate to severe breakthrough and postoperative pain
often fails to provide patients with adequate relief and control (breakthrough
and postoperative pain are characterized as being moderate to severe in
intensity, having a rapid onset of action and a short to medium duration). Not
only does delivery by pills have a slow onset of action, it is often difficult
for patients to adjust their doses, with the result that patients are either
over or under medicated. Injections are invasive and require an attendant to
administer the medication which reduces the patient's control over the pain and
may cause increased anxiety. Often, patients must wait in pain until an
attendant can medicate them.
We seek to develop a buccal delivery formulation for morphine and fentanyl that
will have a critical series of attributes well suited for the treatment of
breakthrough and post operative pain and which will be cost effective and will
have a demonstrable improvement over current delivery methods. These include
fast access to the circulatory system, precise dosing control and a simple,
self-administration procedure.
6
We made an Investigatory New Drug submission for buccal morphine to the Health
Protection Branch in Canada in January 2002, and received permission from the
Canadian regulators to proceed with clinical trials in March 2002. We have
commenced clinical trials in Ecuador and we are in the process of recruiting
investigators to conduct clinical trials in Canada. In January 2002, we filed an
Investigational New Drug Application for buccal morphine with the Food and Drug
Administration. The buccal morphine product is being developed by Generex
Bermuda under our joint venture with a subsidiary of Elan Corporation.
We made an Investigatory New Drug submission for fentanyl to the Health
Protection Branch in Canada in August 2002, and received permission from the
Canadian regulators to proceed with clinical trials in October 2002.
Other Products
We have had discussions of possible research collaborations with various
pharmaceutical companies concerning use of our large molecule drug delivery
technology with insulin, morphine, fentanyl and other compounds, including
monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone, fertility hormone, estrogen and
heparin, and a number of vaccines.
Prior to September 2000, we had not aggressively pursued development
opportunities apart from insulin because we believed it was more advantageous to
concentrate our resources, particularly our financial resources, on developing
the insulin product. While the insulin product remains our first priority, we
continue developmental work for buccal delivery formulation for morphine and
fentanyl.
Immunomedicine Technology and Products
Our new subsidiary, Antigen, is engaged in research and development of
technologies and immunomedicines for the treatment of malignant, infectious,
autoimmune and allergic diseases. Our immunomedicine products work by
stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer
cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self
proteins and allergens). Our immunomedicine products are based on two platform
technologies that were discovered by an executive officer of Antigen, the Ii-Key
hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression. These technologies are expected to greatly
boost immune cell responses which treat the ailments and conditions.
We have not filed an Investigational New Drug application to begin clinical
trials. Rather, our immunomedicine products are in the pre-clinical stage of
development and trials in human patients are not expected for at least 6 months.
For more details regarding our acquisition of Antigen, see "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" (Item
7) below.
CORPORATE HISTORY
We were incorporated in Delaware in September 1997 for the purpose of acquiring
Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Canadian corporation formed in November 1995 to
engage in pharmaceutical and biotechnological research and other activities. Our
acquisition of Generex Pharmaceuticals was completed in October 1997 in a
transaction in which the holders of all outstanding shares of Generex
Pharmaceuticals exchanged their shares for shares of our common stock.
7
In January 1998, we participated in a "reverse acquisition" with Green Mt. P.
S., Inc., a previously inactive Idaho corporation formed in 1983. As a result of
this transaction, our shareholders (the former shareholders of Generex
Pharmaceuticals) acquired a majority (approximately 90%) of the outstanding
capital stock of Green Mt., we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Mt.,
Green Mt. changed its corporate name to Generex Biotechnology Corporation
("Generex Idaho"), and we changed our corporate name to GBC Delaware, Inc.
Because the reverse acquisition resulted in our shareholders becoming the
majority holders of Generex Idaho, we were treated as the acquiring corporation
in the transaction for accounting purposes. Thus, our historical financial
statements, which essentially represented the historical financial statements of
Generex Pharmaceuticals, were deemed to be the historical financial statements
of Generex Idaho.
In April 1999, we completed a reorganization in which we merged with Generex
Idaho. In this transaction, all outstanding shares of Generex Idaho were
converted into our shares, Generex Idaho ceased to exist as a separate entity,
and we changed our corporate name back to "Generex Biotechnology Corporation".
This reorganization did not result in any material change in our historical
financial statements or current financial reporting.
In August 2003, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2003, we acquired all of the
capital stock of Antigen in exchange for approximately 2,800,000 shares of our
common stock, and Antigen became our wholly owned subsidiary.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Our research and development activities, and the eventual manufacturing and
marketing of our products, are subject to extensive regulation by the Food and
Drug Administration in the United States ("FDA") and comparable regulatory
authorities in other countries. Among other things, extensive regulation puts a
burden on our ability to bring products to market. While these regulations apply
to all competitors in our industry, many of our competitors have extensive
experience in dealing with the FDA and other regulators, while we do not. Also,
other companies in our industry do not depend completely on products which still
need to be approved by government regulators, as we now do.
If requisite regulatory approvals are not obtained and maintained, our business
will be substantially harmed. In many if not all cases, we expect that our
development partners will control or participate extensively in the regulatory
approval process once a development agreement is in place. The following
discussion summarizes the principal features of food and drug regulation in the
United States and other countries as they affect our business.
United States
All aspects of our research, development and foreseeable commercial activities
are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities
in the United States. United States federal and state statutes and regulations
govern, among other things, the testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy,
labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of
pharmaceutical products. The regulatory approval process, including clinical
trials, usually takes several years and requires the expenditure of substantial
resources. If regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may
include significant limitations on the uses for which the product may be
marketed. The steps required before a pharmaceutical product may be marketed in
the United States include:
8
o preclinical tests;
o the submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug application,
which must become effective before human clinical trials commence;
o human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the drug;
o the submission of a New Drug Application to the FDA; and
o FDA approval of the New Drug Application, including approval of all
product labeling and advertising.
Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry,
formulation and stability, as well as animal studies to assess the potential
safety and efficacy of each product. The results of the pre-clinical tests are
submitted to the FDA as part of the Investigational New Drug application and are
reviewed by the FDA before the commencement of human clinical trials. Unless the
FDA objects to the Investigational New Drug application, the Investigational New
Drug application becomes effective 30 days following its receipt by the FDA. The
Investigational New Drug application for our oral insulin formulation became
effective in November 1998. We filed an Investigational New Drug application for
buccal morphine in January 2002.
Clinical trials involve the administration of the new drug to humans under the
supervision of a qualified investigator. The protocols for the trials must be
submitted to the FDA as part of the Investigational New Drug application. Also,
each clinical trial must be approved and conducted under the auspices of an
Institutional Review Board, which considers, among other things, ethical
factors, the safety of human subjects, and the possible liability of the
institution conducting the clinical trials.
Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases (Phase I,
Phase II, and Phase III), but the phases may overlap. Phase I clinical trials
test the drug on healthy human subjects for safety and other aspects, but not
effectiveness. Phase II clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient
population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the drug for specific
purposes, to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosages, and to identify
possible adverse effects and safety risks. When a compound has shown evidence of
efficacy and acceptable safety in Phase II evaluations, Phase III clinical
trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an
expanded patient population at clinical trial sites in different geographical
locations. The FDA and other regulatory authorities require that the safety and
efficacy of therapeutic product candidates be supported through at least two
adequate and well-controlled Phase III clinical trials.
In the United States, the results of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials,
if successful, are submitted to the FDA in a New Drug Application to seek
approval to market and commercialize the drug product for a specified use. The
FDA may deny a New Drug Application if it believes that applicable regulatory
criteria are not satisfied. The FDA also may require additional testing for
safety and efficacy of the drug. We cannot be sure that any of our proposed
products will receive the FDA approval. Even if approved by the FDA, our
products and the facilities used to manufacture our products will remain subject
to review and periodic inspection by the FDA.
To supply drug products for use in the United States, foreign and domestic
manufacturing facilities must be registered with, and approved by the FDA.
Manufacturing facilities must also comply with the FDA's Good Manufacturing
Practices, and domestic facilities are subject to periodic inspection by the
FDA. Products manufactured outside the United States are inspected by regulatory
authorities in those countries under agreements with the FDA. To comply with
Good Manufacturing Practices, manufacturers must expend substantial funds, time
and effort in the area of production and quality control. The FDA stringently
applies its regulatory standards for manufacturing. Discovery of previously
unknown problems with respect to a product, manufacturer or facility may result
in consequences with commercial significance. These include restrictions on the
product, manufacturer or facility, suspensions of regulatory approvals,
operating restrictions, delays in obtaining new product approvals, withdrawals
of the product from the market, product recalls, fines, injunctions and criminal
prosecution.
9
Foreign Countries
Before we are permitted to market any of our products outside of the United
States, those products will be subject to regulatory approval by foreign
government agencies similar to the FDA. These requirements vary widely from
country to country. Generally, however, no action can be taken to market any
drug product in a country until an appropriate application has been approved by
the regulatory authorities in that country. FDA approval does not assure
approval by other regulatory authorities. The current approval process varies
from country to country, and the time spent in gaining approval varies from that
required for FDA approval. The Canadian regulatory process is substantially
similar to that of the United States. We obtained regulatory approval to begin
clinical trials of our oral insulin formulation in Canada in November 1998. In
Ecuador, regulatory authorities approved the limited non-commercial distribution
of our oral insulin formulation in September 1998. In August 2004, we submitted
the Oralin(TM) dossier to the Ecuador Ministry of Public Health seeking approval
for the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of Oralin(TM) and
RapidMist(TM) Diabetes Management System. We obtained regulatory approval to
begin clinical trials of our buccal morphine product in Canada in March 2002 and
received regulatory approval to begin clinical trials of our fentanyl product in
Canada in October 2002. We are currently in the process of recruiting
investigators to conduct clinical trials of our buccal morphine product.
MARKETING
We intend to rely on collaborative arrangements with one or more other companies
that possess strong pharmaceutical marketing and distribution resources to
perform these functions for us. Accordingly, we will not have the same control
over marketing and distribution that we would have if we conducted these
functions ourselves.
With respect to the Generex Bermuda joint venture, Elan may, at its option,
choose to market morphine or any other product developed under the joint
venture. With respect to the Pharma Brand joint venture, we will work closely
with Pharma Brand to aggressively seek approval for the manufacture, production,
packaging and distribution of Oralin(TM) in Central and Latin America. Except
for these arrangements, we do not have any agreements with any other companies
for marketing or distributing our products. With respect to our insulin product,
we possess the worldwide marketing rights to this product after they reverted to
us upon the termination in June 2003 of the development and license agreement
with Lilly.
10
MANUFACTURING
To date, we have produced our oral insulin formulation only under laboratory
conditions on a small scale. In December 2000, we completed our pilot
manufacturing facility in Toronto in the same commercial complex in which our
original laboratory is located, and we are in the process of obtaining
regulatory approval for the facility. We believe that this facility will be
capable of producing our insulin product at levels necessary to supply our needs
for late stage human clinical trials of the product and for initial commercial
sales outside the United States, even though we have not yet actually produced
product at those levels. We will need to significantly increase our
manufacturing capability in order to manufacture any product in commercial
quantities.
We own facilities in Brampton and Mississauga, Ontario, all within 25 miles from
downtown Toronto that were purchased with the intention of improving and
equipping them for manufacturing. These facilities are currently leased to
unrelated third parties, however, we believe we can place these facilities into
production of our insulin product or other products within 12 to 18 months lead
time if additional production capabilities are necessary.
Our new subsidiary Antigen leases office and laboratory space in Worcester,
Massachusetts, which is sufficient for its present needs. The laboratory is
approximately 820 square feet and has permission to store and use biohazardous
(including recombinant DNA materials) and flammable chemicals.
RAW MATERIAL SUPPLIES
The excipients used in our formulation are available from numerous sources in
sufficient quantities for clinical purposes, and we believe that they will be
available in sufficient quantities for commercial purposes when required,
although we have not yet attempted to secure a commercial supply of any such
products.
Components suitable for our RapidMist(TM) device are available from a limited
number of potential suppliers, as is the chemical propellant used in the device.
We believe that the components which now comprise the device will be utilized
with the commercial version of our insulin product. We also expect to use the
RapidMist(TM) device in connection with our buccal morphine and fentanyl
products. We have also secured supply arrangements with the manufacturers of all
other components and the propellant that we presently use in our RapidMist(TM)
device for commercial quantities of such components and the propellant. All such
suppliers are prominent, reputable and reliable suppliers to the pharmaceutical
industry. Because we now have a single supplier for each of these components and
propellant, however, we are more vulnerable to supply interruptions than would
be the case if we had multiple suppliers for each component. We do not believe
that the risk of a single source of supply for proprietary raw materials or
device components is unusual in the pharmaceutical industry.
Insulin is available worldwide from only a few sources. However, alternative
supplies of insulin are under development in Europe. Upon termination in June
2003 of our license agreement with Lilly, we entered into a Bulk Supply
Agreement with Lilly, pursuant to which Lilly is required to provide us with
human insulin crystals over a three (3) year period. We also believe future
development and marketing partners under licensing and development agreements,
if any, will provide, or assist us to obtain, pharmaceutical compounds that are
used in products covered under such agreements.
11
While morphine is a controlled substance, it is readily available for use in
clinical trials. We currently have the appropriate licenses and facilities for
acquiring and storing morphine in Canada. Various regulatory issues surround the
import of morphine into the United States and we will need to address these
issues prior to commencing clinical trials in the United States.
Raw materials for our pre-clinical development stage immunomedicine products
include amino acids (for peptide therapeutics) and oligonucleotides (for genetic
constructs). These materials are readily available from commercial suppliers. We
utilize the services of several commercial laboratories for the manufacturing of
our pre-clinical development stage immunomedicine products.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We currently have fifteen issued U.S. patents pertaining to aspects of buccal
delivery technology and covering our oral insulin formulation. We have six U.S.
patent applications and one Canadian patent application pending, which also
relate to aspects of our buccal delivery technology, our oral insulin
formulation and our oral morphine formulation. In addition, we hold one U.S.
patent and two Canadian patents and have one U.S. application pending that
pertains to delivery technologies other than our buccal delivery technology.
We also have an indirect interest in three drug delivery patents held by another
company, Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc., which is 50% owned by us.
Our new subsidiary Antigen currently holds six issued U.S. patents, two
Australian patents, and a number of pending U.S. and foreign patent applications
concerning technology for modulating the immune system via activation of
antigen-specific helper T lymphocytes. Some of these patents are held under
exclusive licenses from the University of Massachusetts. Dr. Humphreys and Dr.
Xu, officers of Antigen, are the listed inventors or co-inventors on all of
these patents and patent applications, including those licensed from the
University of Massachusetts.
Our long-term success will substantially depend upon our ability to obtain
patent protection for our technology and our ability to protect our technology
from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and duplication. We cannot be
sure that any of our pending patent applications will be granted, or that any
patents which we own or obtain in the future will fully protect our position.
Our patent rights, and the patent rights of biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies in general, are highly uncertain and include complex legal and factual
issues. We believe that our existing technology and the patents which we hold or
for which we have applied do not infringe any one else's patent rights. We
believe our patent rights will provide meaningful protection against others
duplicating our proprietary technologies. We cannot be sure of this, however,
because of the complexity of the legal and scientific issues that could arise in
litigation over these issues. (See "Legal Proceedings" (Item 3) for discussion
of certain legal proceedings involving intellectual property issues.)
We also rely on trade secrets and other unpatented proprietary information. We
seek to protect this information, in part, by confidentiality agreements with
our employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators.
12
COMPETITION
We expect that products based upon our buccal delivery technology and any other
products that we may develop will compete directly with products developed by
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, government agencies
and public and private research organizations.
Products developed by our competitors may use a different active pharmaceutical
agent or treatment to treat the same medical condition or indication as our
product or may provide for the delivery of substantially the same active
pharmaceutical ingredient as our products using different methods of
administration. For example, a number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies are engaged in various stages of research, development and testing of
alternatives to insulin therapy for the treatment of diabetes, as well as new
methods of delivering insulin. These methods, including nasal, transdermal,
needle free (high pressure) injection and pulmonary, may ultimately successfully
deliver insulin to diabetic patients. Some biotechnology companies have also
developed different technologies to enhance the presentation of peptide
antigens. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially
greater scientific research and product development capabilities, as well as
financial, marketing and human resources, than we do.
Where the same or substantially the same active ingredient is available using
alternative delivery means or the same or substantially the same result is
achievable with a different treatment or technology, we expect that competition
among products will be based, among other things, on product safety, efficacy,
ease of use, availability, price, marketing and distribution. When different
active pharmaceutical ingredients are involved, these same competitive factors
will apply to both the active agent and the delivery method.
We consider other drug delivery and biotechnology companies to be direct
competitors for the cooperation and support of major drug and biotechnology
companies that own or market proprietary pharmaceutical compounds and
technologies, as well as for the ultimate patient market. Of primary concern to
us are the competitor companies that are known to be developing delivery systems
for insulin and other pharmaceutical agents that we have identified as product
candidates and technologies to enhance the presentation of peptide antigens.
Buccal Insulin Product
Nektar Therapeutics (formally Inhale Therapeutic Systems, Inc.) ("Nektar") is
developing a customized insulin formulation that is processed into a fine, dry
powder and administered to the deep lung using a proprietary inhalation device
developed for this purpose. Nektar is developing its insulin product in
collaboration with Pfizer, Inc., which in turn has announced agreements to
co-develop and co-promote the use of inhaled insulin with Aventis, a leading
pharmaceutical company which presently manufactures insulin for sale primarily
in Europe. As reported in March 2004, the European Medicines Evaluation Agency
(EMEA) has accepted the filing of a marketing authorization application for
Exubera(R) (inhaled human insulin powder). Nektar is also developing pulmonary
products with large molecule drugs other than insulin, and has stated that it is
investigating the use of its inhalation technology with small molecule drugs.
Aradigm Corporation ("Aradigm"), which has announced a joint development
agreement with Novo Nordisk A/S to jointly develop a pulmonary delivery system
for insulin by inhalation, also may be considered a direct competitor of ours in
the insulin area. Novo Nordisk is one of the two leading manufacturers of
insulin in the world, the other being Lilly. Aradigm and Novo Nordisk initiated
Phase III clinical trials in September 2002. In April 2004, Novo Nordisk
announced results from a planned interim analysis of the initial Phase III trial
and has decided to amend the current trial protocol. Novo Nordisk will make
decisions concerning the structure and timing of additional clinical trials
after these observations have been fully assessed.
13
Other companies have announced development efforts relating to alternative (to
injection) methods of delivering insulin or other large molecule drugs,
including Alkermes Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which announced a collaboration with
Lilly in April 2000 to develop a pulmonary method of administering insulin and
is currently undergoing Phase II clinical trials. There are also a number of
companies developing alternative means of delivering insulin in the form of oral
pills, transdermal patches, and intranasal methods, which are at early stages of
development.
In addition to other delivery systems for insulin, there are numerous products
which have been approved for use in the treatment of Type 2 diabetics in place
of or in addition to insulin therapy. These products may also be considered
competitive with insulin products.
Buccal Morphine and Fentanyl Products
Cephalon, Inc. currently markets Actiq(R) in the United States and has recently
acquired the rights to the product in Europe. Actiq(R) delivers buccal
transmucosal fentanyl to the cheek walls through the use of a lollipop. On
November 4, 1998 the FDA cleared Actiq(R) for marketing for use in the
management of breakthrough cancer pain. The product was launched in March 1999
in the United States.
Aradigm is developing the hand-held AERx Pain Management System for the
treatment of breakthrough cancer pain. The AERx Pain Management System is a
pulmonary delivery system to deliver the drug through inhalation. AERx has
distinct advantages over the administration by injection of morphine and similar
opiate-derived pain control drugs. Aradigm is in progress to complete both Phase
I and II clinical trials of these formulations.
Nastech Pharmaceuticals is developing an intranasal formulation of morphine that
is in Phase II clinical trials. Results reported to date show the product to be
safe and efficacious in the treatment of episodes of breakthrough pain. Nastech
is currently seeking a licensing partner for this product.
Immunomedicine Technology and Products
A number of companies that are engaged in the development of immunomedicines
employ technologies that are competitive to our new subsidiary, Antigen. Zycos
Inc. has developed the Biotope(R) technology, Cel-Sci Corporation has developed
the LEAPS delivery technology and Epimmune Inc. has developed the PADRE(R)
technology. These companies have initiated early stage clinical trials for
several products for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune, and allergic diseases.
These companies also have established collaborations with academic centers and
other companies for the development of certain products. We have not initiated
clinical trials with any of our immunomedicine products, nor have we established
commercial collaborations to date.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Our manufacturing, research and development activities involve the controlled
use of hazardous materials and chemicals. We believe that our procedures for
handling and disposing of these materials comply with all applicable government
regulations. However, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination
or injury from these materials. If an accident occurred, we could be held liable
for damages, and these damages could severely impact our financial condition. We
are also subject to many environmental, health and workplace safety laws and
regulations, particularly those governing laboratory procedures, exposure to
blood-borne pathogens, and the handling of hazardous biological materials.
Violations and the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations could
adversely affect us. However, we do not believe that compliance with the United
States, Canadian or other environmental laws will have a material effect on us
in the foreseeable future.
14
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
A substantial portion of our activities to date have been in research and
development. In the period from inception to July 31, 2004, our expenditures on
research and development were $47,387,932. These included $8,522,984 in the year
ended July 31, 2004, $5,150,075 in the year ended July 31, 2003 and $6,618,820
in the year ended July 31, 2002. The increase in our research and development
expenses in 2004 compared to 2003 is due principally to activities of Antigen
and our increased development of oral insulin formulation compared to last year,
including the purchase of bulk insulin. The decrease in our research and
development expenses in 2003 compared to 2002 is due principally to contraction
of our ongoing research and development activities under our collaboration with
Elan and the collaboration with Lilly, which ended in May 2003.
EMPLOYEES
At September 30, 2004, we had twenty-five full-time employees, including our
executive officers and other individuals who work for us full time but are
employed by management companies that provide their services and including eight
employees of our new subsidiary Antigen. Fourteen of our employees are executive
and administrative, nine are scientific and technical personnel who engage
primarily in development activities and in preparing formulations for testing
and clinical trials, and two are engaged in corporate and product promotion,
public relations and investor relations. We believe our employee relations are
good. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
We will continue to need qualified scientific personnel and personnel with
experience in clinical testing, government regulation and manufacturing. We may
have difficulty in obtaining qualified scientific and technical personnel as
there is strong competition for these people from other pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies as well as universities and research institutions. Our
business could be materially harmed if we are unable to recruit and retain
qualified scientific, administrative and executive personnel to support our
expanding activities, or if one or more members of our limited scientific and
management staff were unable or unwilling to continue their association with us.
We do not have fixed term agreements with any of our key management or
scientific staff, other than Dr. Pankaj Modi who, on August 26, 2004, resigned
from his position as Vice President, Research and Development and terminated his
Consulting Agreement with us, see "Developments in Fiscal 2004" under
Management's Discussion and Analysis. While Dr. Modi's resignation was effective
immediately, pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, the effective
date of termination of the Consulting Agreement is August 25, 2005.
15
We also use non-employee consultants to assist us in formulating research and
development strategy, in preparing regulatory submissions, in developing
protocols for clinical trials, and in designing, equipping and staffing our
manufacturing facilities. We also use non-employee consultants to assist us in
business development. These consultants and advisors usually have the right to
terminate their relationship with us on short notice. Loss of some of these key
advisors could interrupt or delay development of one or more of our products or
otherwise adversely affect our business plans.

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS
In addition to historical facts or statements of current condition, this Annual
Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events.
The following discussion outlines certain factors that we think could cause our
actual outcomes and results to differ materially from our forward-looking
statements. These factors are in addition to those set forth elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
19
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition
We have a history of losses, and will incur additional losses.
We are a development stage company with a limited history of operations, and do
not expect ongoing revenues from operation in the immediately foreseeable
future. To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss before
preferred stock dividend was $ 94,231,316 at July 31, 2004. Our losses have
resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development, including
clinical trials, and from general and administrative costs associated with our
operations. While we seek to attain profitability, we cannot be sure that we
will ever achieve product and other revenue sufficient for us to attain this
objective.
Our product candidates are in research or early stages of pre-clinical and
clinical development. We will need to conduct substantial additional research,
development and clinical trials. We will also need to receive necessary
regulatory clearances both in the United States and foreign countries and obtain
meaningful patent protection for and establish freedom to commercialize each of
our product candidates. We cannot be sure that we will obtain required
regulatory approvals, or successfully research, develop, commercialize,
manufacture and market any other product candidates. We expect that these
activities, together with future general and administrative activities, will
result in significant expenses for the foreseeable future.
We need additional capital
To progress in product development or marketing, we will need additional capital
which may not be available to us. This may delay our progress in product
development or market.
We will require funds in excess of our existing cash resources:
o to proceed with the development of our buccal insulin product;
o to proceed under our joint venture with Elan, which requires us to fund
80.1% of initial product development costs;
o to develop other buccal and immunomedicine products;
o to develop new products based on our buccal delivery and immunomedicine
technologies, including clinical testing relating to new products;
o to develop or acquire other technologies or other lines of business;
o to establish and expand our manufacturing capabilities;
o to finance general and administrative and research activities that are
not related to specific products under development; and
o to finance the research and development activities of our new
subsidiary Antigen.
In the past, we have funded most of our development and other costs through
equity financing. We anticipate that our existing capital resources will enable
us to maintain currently planned operations through the next twelve months.
However, this expectation is based on our current operating plan, which could
change as a result of many factors, and we may need additional funding sooner
than anticipated. Because our operating and capital resources are insufficient
to meet future requirements, we will have to raise additional funds in the near
future to continue the development and commercialization of our products.
Unforeseen problems, including materially negative developments in our joint
venture with Elan, in our clinical trials or in general economic conditions,
could interfere with our ability to raise additional equity capital or
materially adversely affect the terms upon which such funding is available.
Recent changes in the application of the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market may
also make it more difficult for us to raise private equity capital.
20
It is possible that we will be unable to obtain additional funding as and when
we need it. If we were unable to obtain additional funding as and when needed,
we could be forced to delay the progress of certain development efforts. Such a
scenario poses risks. For example, our ability to bring a product to market and
obtain revenues could be delayed, our competitors could develop products ahead
of us, and/or we could be forced to relinquish rights to technologies, products
or potential products.
New equity financing could dilute current stockholders.
If we raise funds through equity financing to meet the needs discussed above, it
will have a dilutive effect on existing holders of our shares by reducing their
percentage ownership. The shares may be sold at a time when the market price is
low because we need the funds. This will dilute existing holders more than if
our stock price was higher. In addition, equity financings normally involve
shares sold at a discount to the current market price.
Our research and development and marketing efforts are likely to be highly
dependent on corporate collaborators and other third parties who may not devote
sufficient time, resources and attention to our programs, which may limit our
efforts to successfully develop and market potential products.
Because we have limited resources, we have sought to enter into collaboration
agreements with other pharmaceutical companies that will assist us in
developing, testing, obtaining governmental approval for and commercializing
products using our buccal delivery and immunomedicine technologies. Any
collaborator with whom we may enter into such collaboration agreements may not
support fully our research and commercial interests since our program may
compete for time, attention and resources with such collaborator's internal
programs. Therefore, these collaborators may not commit sufficient resources to
our program to move it forward effectively, or that the program will advance as
rapidly as it might if we had retained complete control of all research,
development, regulatory and commercialization decisions.
Risks Related to Our Technologies
Because our technologies and products are at an early stage of development, we
cannot expect revenues in the foreseeable future.
We have no products approved for commercial sale at the present time. To be
profitable, we must successfully research, develop, obtain regulatory approval
for, manufacture, introduce, market and distribute our products under
development. We may not be successful in one or more of these stages of the
development of our products, and/or any of the products we develop may not be
commercially viable.
While over 800 patients with diabetes have been dosed with our oral insulin
formulation at approved facilities in seven countries, our insulin product has
not been approved for marketing in any country. Until we have developed a
commercially viable product which receives regulatory approval, we will not
receive revenues from ongoing operations.
21
We will not receive revenues from operations until we receive regulatory
approval to sell our products. Many factors impact our ability to obtain
approvals for commercially viable products.
We have no products approved for commercial sale by drug regulatory authorities.
We have begun the regulatory approval process for our oral insulin formulation,
buccal morphine and fentanyl products. Our immunomedicine products are in the
pre-clinical stage of development.
Pre-clinical and clinical trials of our products, and the manufacturing and
marketing of our technologies, are subject to extensive, costly and rigorous
regulation by governmental authorities in the United States, Canada and other
countries. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals from the FDA
and other regulatory authorities often takes many years, is expensive and can
vary significantly based on the type, complexity and novelty of the product
candidates. For these reasons, it is possible we will never receive approval for
one or more product candidates.
Delays in obtaining United States or foreign approvals for our products could
result in substantial additional costs to us, and, therefore, could adversely
affect our ability to compete with other companies. If regulatory approval is
ultimately granted, the approval may place limitations on the intended use of
the product we wish to commercialize, and may restrict the way in which we are
permitted to market the product.
Due to legal and factual uncertainties regarding the scope and protection
afforded by patents and other proprietary rights, we may not have meaningful
protection from competition.
Our long-term success will substantially depend upon our ability to protect our
proprietary technologies from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and
duplication and avoid infringing the proprietary rights of others. Our patent
rights, and the patent rights of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in
general, are highly uncertain and include complex legal and factual issues.
Because of this, our pending patent applications may not be granted. These
uncertainties also mean that any patents that we own or will obtain in the
future could be subject to challenge, and even if not challenged, may not
provide us with meaningful protection from competition. Due to our financial
uncertainties, we may not possess the financial resources necessary to enforce
our patents. Patents already issued to us or our pending applications may become
subject to dispute, and any dispute could be resolved against us.
Because a substantial number of patents have been issued in the field of
alternative drug delivery and because patent positions can be highly uncertain
and frequently involve complex legal and factual questions, the breadth of
claims obtained in any application or the enforceability of our patents cannot
be predicted. Consequently, we do not know whether any of our pending or future
patent applications will result in the issuance of patents or, to the extent
patents have been issued or will be issued, whether these patents will be
subject to further proceedings limiting their scope, will provide significant
proprietary protection or competitive advantage, or will be circumvented or
invalidated.
Also because of these legal and factual uncertainties, and because pending
patent applications are held in secrecy for varying periods in the United States
and other countries, even after reasonable investigation we may not know with
certainty whether any products that we (or a licensee) may develop will infringe
upon any patent or other intellectual property right of a third party. For
example, we are aware of certain patents owned by third parties that such
parties could attempt to use in the future in efforts to affect our freedom to
practice some of the patents that we own or have applied for. Based upon the
science and scope of these third party patents, we believe that the patents that
we own or have applied for do not infringe any such third party patents,
however, we cannot know for certain whether we could successfully defend our
position, if challenged. We may incur substantial costs if we are required to
defend ourselves in patent suits brought by third parties. These legal actions
could seek damages and seek to enjoin testing, manufacturing and marketing of
the accused product or process. In addition to potential liability for
significant damages, we could be required to obtain a license to continue to
manufacture or market the accused product or process.
22
Risks Related to Marketing of Our Potential Products
We may not become, or stay, profitable even if our products are approved for
sale.
Even if we obtain regulatory approval to market our oral insulin product or any
other product candidate, many factors may prevent the product from ever being
sold in commercial quantities. Some of these factors are beyond our control,
such as:
o acceptance of the formulation or treatment by health care professionals
and diabetic patients;
o the availability, effectiveness and relative cost of alternative
diabetes or immunomedicine treatments that may be developed by
competitors; and
o the availability of third-party (i.e., insurer and governmental agency)
reimbursements.
We may not be able to compete with treatments now being marketed and developed,
or which may be developed and marketed in the future by other companies.
Our products will compete with existing and new therapies and treatments. We are
aware of a number of companies currently seeking to develop alternative means of
delivering insulin, as well as new drugs intended to replace insulin therapy at
least in part. We are also aware of a number of companies currently seeking to
develop alternative means of enhancing and suppressing peptides. In the longer
term, we also face competition from companies that seek to develop cures for
diabetes and other malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases
through techniques for correcting the genetic deficiencies that underlie such
diseases.
We will have to depend upon others for marketing and distribution of our
products, and we may be forced to enter into contracts limiting the benefits we
may receive and the control we have over our products. We intend to rely on
collaborative arrangements with one or more other companies that possess strong
marketing and distribution resources to perform these functions for us. We may
not be able to enter into beneficial contracts, and we may be forced to enter
into contracts for the marketing and distribution of our products that
substantially limit the potential benefits to us from commercializing these
products. In addition, we will not have the same control over marketing and
distribution that we would have if we conducted these functions ourselves.
Numerous pharmaceutical, biotechnology and drug delivery companies, hospitals,
research organizations, individual scientists and nonprofit organizations are
engaged in the development of alternatives to our technologies. Many of these
companies have greater research and development capabilities, experience,
manufacturing, marketing, financial and managerial resources than we do.
Accordingly, our competitors may succeed in developing competing technologies,
obtaining FDA approval for products or gaining market acceptance more rapidly
than we can.
23
If government programs and insurance companies do not agree to pay for or
reimburse patients for our products, we will not be successful.
Sales of our potential products depend in part on the availability of
reimbursement by third-party payors such as government health administration
authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payors
often challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of medical products and
services. FDA approval of health care products does not guarantee that these
third party payors will pay for the products. Even if third party payors do
accept our product, the amounts they pay may not be adequate to enable us to
realize a profit. Legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of
pharmaceuticals may change before our products are approved for marketing and
any such changes could further limit reimbursement.
Risks Related to Potential Liabilities
We face significant product liability risks, which may have a negative effect on
our financial condition.
The administration of drugs or treatments to humans, whether in clinical trials
or commercially, can result in product liability claims whether or not the drugs
or treatments are actually at fault for causing an injury. Furthermore, our
products may cause, or may appear to have caused, serious adverse side effects
(including death) or potentially dangerous drug interactions that we may not
learn about or understand fully until the drug or treatment has been
administered to patients for some time. Product liability claims can be
expensive to defend and may result in large judgments or settlements against us,
which could have a severe negative effect on our financial condition. We
maintain product liability insurance in amounts we believe to be commercially
reasonable for our current level of activity and exposure, but claims could
exceed our coverage limits. Furthermore, due to factors in the insurance market
generally and our own experience, we may not always be able to purchase
sufficient insurance at an affordable price. Even if a product liability claim
is not successful, the adverse publicity and time and expense of defending such
a claim may interfere with our business.
Outcome of an Arbitration Proceeding with Sands Brothers may have an adverse
impact on us.
On October 2, 1998, Sands Brothers & Co. Ltd., a New York City-based investment
banking and brokerage firm, initiated an arbitration against us under New York
Stock Exchange rules. Sands alleged that it had the right to receive, for
nominal consideration, approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock.
Sands based its claim upon an October 1997 letter agreement that was purported
by Sands to confirm an agreement appointing Sands as the exclusive financial
advisor to Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary that we acquired in late
1997. In exchange therefor, the letter agreement purported to grant Sands the
right to acquire 17% of Generex Pharmaceuticals' common stock for nominal
consideration. Sands claimed that its right to receive shares of Generex
Pharmaceuticals' common stock applies to our common stock since outstanding
shares of Generex Pharmaceuticals' common stock were converted into shares of
our common stock in the acquisition. Sands' claims also included additional
shares allegedly due as a fee related to that acquisition, and $144,000 in
monthly fees allegedly due under the terms of the purported agreement.
24
After several arbitration and court proceedings, on October 29, 2002, the
Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court issued a decision remanding the
issue of damages to a new panel of arbitrators and limiting the issue of damages
before the new panel to reliance damages which is not to include an award of
lost profits. Reliance damages are out-of-pocket damages incurred by Sands.
On August 17, 2004, the Arbitration Panel of the New York Stock Exchange issued
a final award in the case of Sands vs. the Company, awarding Sands $150,000 in
reliance damages. No motion to confirm this award has been filed by Sands as of
the date of this report. Sands has not sought leave to appeal the vacaturs of
the prior panel's warrant award to the New York Court of Appeals. As such, the
award is subject to further legal proceedings.
The case is still ongoing and our ultimate liability cannot yet be determined
with certainty. Our financial condition would be materially adversely affected
to the extent that Sands receives shares of our common stock for little or no
consideration or substantial monetary damages as a result of this legal
proceeding. We are not able to estimate an amount or range of potential loss
from this legal proceeding at the present time.
Risks Related to the Market for Our Common Stock
If our common stock is delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and/or becomes
subject to Penny Stock regulations, the market price for our stock may be
reduced and it may be more difficult for us to obtain financing.
On June 5, 2003, our common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ National Market
because of our failure to maintain a minimum of $10,000,000 in stockholders'
equity. On June 5, 2003, our stock began trading on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market.
The NASDAQ SmallCap Market has its own standards for continued listing,
including a minimum of $2.5 million stockholders' equity. As of July 31, 2004,
our stockholders' equity was $529,751 which makes us noncompliant with their
standard for continued listing.
In addition, for continued listing on both the NASDAQ National Market and
SmallCap Market, our stock price must be at least $1.00. During periods in
fiscal 2004 and the beginning of fiscal 2005, our stock price dropped close to
and below $1.00 per share. If we do not meet this requirement in the future, we
may be subject to delisting by NASDAQ.
If our stock is delisted from NASDAQ, there will be less interest for our stock
in the market. This may result in lower prices for our stock and make it more
difficult for us to obtain financing.
If our stock is not listed on NASDAQ and fails to maintain a price of $5.00 or
more per share, our stock would become subject to the Securities and Exchange
Commission's "Penny Stock" rules. These rules require a broker to deliver, prior
to any transaction involving a Penny Stock, a disclosure schedule explaining the
Penny Stock Market and its risks. Additionally, broker/dealers who recommend
Penny Stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors must make a special written suitability determination and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to the sale. In the event
our stock becomes subject to these rules, it will become more difficult for
broker/dealers to sell our common stock. Therefore, it may be more difficult for
us to obtain financing.
25
The price of Our Common Stock may be volatile.
There may be wide fluctuations in the price of our common stock. These
fluctuations may be caused by several factors including:
o announcements of research activities and technology innovations or new
products by us or our competitors;
o changes in market valuation of companies in our industry generally;
o variations in operating results;
o changes in governmental regulations;
o developments in patent and other proprietary rights;
o public concern as to the safety of drugs or treatments developed by us
or others;
o results of clinical trials of our products or our competitors'
products; and
o regulatory action or inaction on our products or our competitors'
products.
From time to time, we may hire companies to assist us in pursuing investor
relations strategies to generate increased volumes of investment in our common
stock. Such activities may result, among other things, in causing the price of
our common stock to increase on a short-term basis.
Furthermore, the stock market generally and the market for stocks of companies
with lower market capitalizations and small biopharmaceutical companies, like
us, have from time to time experienced, and likely will again experience
significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating
performance of a particular company.
Our outstanding Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock and provisions of our
Restated Certificate of Incorporation could delay or prevent the acquisition or
sale of our business.
Holders of our Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock have the ability to prevent
any change of control in us. Dr. Pankaj Modi, owns all of our Special Voting
Rights Preferred Stock. In addition, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation
permits our Board of Directors to designate new series of preferred stock and
issue those shares without any vote or action by our stockholders. Such newly
authorized and issued shares of preferred stock could contain terms that grant
special voting rights to the holders of such shares that make it more difficult
to obtain stockholder approval for an acquisition of our business or increase
the cost of any such acquisition.
26
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our executive and principal administrative offices occupy approximately 5,000
square feet of office space in the Business Centre at 33 Harbour Square in
downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We own the Business Centre, which comprises
approximately 9,100 square feet of usable space. The space in the Business
Centre that is not used by us is leased to third parties.
We own a laboratory facility in Toronto that we have used for limited production
of our oral insulin formulation for clinical purposes, and have completed a
pilot manufacturing facility for our insulin product in the same commercial
complex. Our laboratory facility is approximately 2,650 square feet. Our pilot
manufacturing facility, which also includes laboratory facilities, is
approximately 4,800 square feet. We also own all additional units in the same
building where our pilot manufacturing facility is located. These units are
currently leased to third parties and one is being used for storage. All of
these spaces could be used for manufacturing facilities if necessary. We have
obtained regulatory approval for the laboratory facility, and we are currently
in the process of obtaining regulatory approval for the pilot manufacturing
facility.
We have mortgages on our Toronto properties totaling $2,224,783 at July 31,
2004. These mortgages require the payment of interest, with minimal principal
reduction, prior to their due dates. These mortgages currently require an
aggregate $17,313 in monthly debt service payments. Aggregate principal
maturities for these mortgages will be $1,366,122 in fiscal 2005 and $858,661 in
fiscal 2006.
We lease approximately 1,710 square feet of office and laboratory space in
Worcester, Massachusetts that Antigen uses for its research and development
activities at an annual rent of $94,085. This space is sufficient for Antigen's
present activities.
We do not expect to need manufacturing capabilities related to our insulin
product beyond our pilot facility before the end of the current fiscal year. We
own an 11,625 square foot building in Brampton, Ontario, which is approximately
25 miles outside Toronto, and a 13,500 square foot building in Mississauga,
Ontario, which is about 20 miles from downtown Toronto, for ultimate use in
manufacturing. We have done preliminary work on these facilities, but we do not
expect to make a substantial investment in improving and equipping them for
manufacturing operations until our requirements in this area are better defined.
Both properties are currently leased to third parties.
We could use our other properties to expand research, development or testing of
our buccal and immunomedicine products if current facilities prove inadequate
for our needs.
27
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Sands Brothers & Co. Ltd. v. Generex Biotechnology Corporation. On October 2,
1998, Sands Brothers & Co. Ltd., a New York City-based investment banking and
brokerage firm, initiated an arbitration against us under New York Stock
Exchange rules. Sands alleged that it had the right to receive, for nominal
consideration, approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock. Sands based
its claim upon an October 1997 letter agreement that was purported by Sands to
confirm an agreement appointing Sands as the exclusive financial advisor to
Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of us that was acquired in late
1997. In exchange, the letter agreement purported to grant Sands the right to
acquire 17% of Generex Pharmaceuticals' common stock for nominal consideration.
Sands claimed that its right to receive shares of Generex Pharmaceuticals'
common stock applies to our common stock since outstanding shares of Generex
Pharmaceuticals' common stock were converted into shares of our common stock in
the acquisition. Sands' claims also included additional shares allegedly due as
a fee related to that acquisition, and $144,000 in monthly fees allegedly due
under the terms of the purported agreement.
Pursuant to an arbitration award dated September 22, 1999, the arbitration panel
that heard this case awarded Sands $14,070 and issued a declaratory judgment
requiring us to issue to Sands a warrant to purchase 1,530,020 shares of our
common stock pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the purported
October 1997 letter agreement. On October 13, 1999, Sands commenced a special
proceeding to confirm the arbitration award in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, County of New York (the "New York Supreme Court"). On November 10,
1999, we moved to vacate the arbitration award. On March 20, 2000, the New York
Supreme Court granted Sands' petition to confirm the award and denied our motion
to vacate the award. We appealed and on January 23, 2001, the New York State
Appellate Division, First Department (the "Appellate Division"), modified the
judgment of the New York Supreme Court that had confirmed the arbitration award
against us. The Appellate Division affirmed the portion of the New York Supreme
Court judgment that had confirmed the granting of monetary relief of $14,070 to
Sands but modified the judgment to vacate the portion of the arbitration award
directing the issuance to Sands of a warrant to purchase 1,530,020 shares of our
common stock. The Appellate Division held that the portion of the award
directing us to issue warrants to Sands is too indefinite to be enforceable and
remanded the matter to the arbitration panel for a final and definite award with
respect to such relief or its equivalent (including possibly an award of
monetary damages). The arbitration panel commenced hearings on the matters
remanded by the Appellate Division in June 2001. On November 7, 2001, the
arbitration panel issued an award again requiring us to issue to Sands a warrant
to purchase 1,530,020 shares of our common stock purportedly pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of the October 1997 letter agreement. Thereafter,
Sands submitted a motion to the New York Supreme Court to modify and confirm the
arbitration panel's award while we filed a motion with the court to vacate the
arbitration award. On February 25, 2002, the New York Supreme Court vacated the
arbitration panel's award. The Supreme Court concluded that the arbitration
panel had "disregarded the plain meaning" of the directive given by the
Appellate Division in the Appellate Division's January 23, 2001 decision that
remanded the matter of the warrant for reconsideration by the panel. The Supreme
Court found that the arbitration panel's award "lacks a rational basis". The
Supreme Court also remanded the matter to the New York Stock Exchange on the
issue of whether the arbitration panel should be disqualified. Sands has
appealed the February 25, 2002 order of the Supreme Court to the Appellate
Division. We filed a cross-appeal on issues relating to the disqualification of
the arbitration panel.
28
On October 29, 2002, the Appellate Division issued a decision and order
unanimously modifying the lower court's order by remanding the issue of damages
to a new panel of arbitrators and otherwise affirming the lower court's order.
The Appellate Division's decision and order limits the issue of damages before
the new panel of arbitrators to reliance damages which is not to include an
award of lost profits. Reliance damages are out-of-pocket damages incurred by
Sands. The Appellate Division stated that the lower court properly determined
that the arbitration award, which had granted Sands warrants for 1,530,020
shares of the registrant's stock, was incorrect.
On March 18, 2003, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York
denied a motion by Sands for re-argument of the October 29, 2002 decision, or,
in the alternative, for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals. A new
arbitration took place in early June 2004.
On August 17, 2004, the Arbitration Panel of the New York Stock Exchange issued
a final award in the case of Sands vs. the Company, awarding Sands $150,000 in
reliance damages. No motion to confirm this award has been filed by Sands as of
the date of this report. Sands has not sought leave to appeal the vacaturs of
the prior panel's warrant award to the New York Court of Appeals. As such, the
award is subject to further legal proceedings.
At the present time, we are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this
legal proceeding or to estimate a range of possible loss from this legal
proceeding. Therefore, no provision has been recorded in the accompanying
financial statements.
Subash Chandarana et al. v. Generex Biotechnology Corporation. In February 2001,
a former business associate of Dr. Pankaj Modi ("Modi"), and an entity called
Centrum Technologies Inc. ("CTI") commenced an action in the Ontario Superior
Court of Justice against us and Modi seeking, among other things, damages for
alleged breaches of contract and tortious acts related to a business
relationship between this former associate and Modi that ceased in July 1996.
The plaintiffs' statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if any, by us
of three patents allegedly owned by CTI. On July 20, 2001, we filed a
preliminary motion to dismiss the action of CTI as a nonexistent entity or,
alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of authority of such
entity to commence the action. The plaintiffs brought a cross motion to amend
the statement of claim to substitute Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc. ("CBI") for
CTI. CBI is a corporation of which 50 percent of the shares are owned by the
former business associate and the remaining 50 percent are owned by us.
Consequently, the shareholders of CBI are in a deadlock. The court granted our
motion to dismiss the action of CTI and denied the plaintiffs' cross motion
without prejudice to the former business associate to seek leave to bring a
derivative action in the name of or on behalf of CBI. The former business
associate subsequently filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice for an order granting him leave to file an action in the name of and on
behalf of CBI against Modi and us. We have opposed the application which is now
pending before the Court. In September 2003, the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice granted the request and issued an order giving the former business
associate leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against
Modi and us. A statement of claim was served in July 2004. We are not able to
predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to
estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal
proceeding.
We are involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those
specifically described herein. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all
litigation, we do not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of
these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, operations or cash flows.
29
With respect to all litigation, as additional information concerning the
estimates used by us becomes known, we reassess its position both with respect
to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

connection with capital raising transactions, and/or acquisitions of assets,
businesses or companies, up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock, including
options, warrants, securities or other rights convertible into common stock, in
the aggregate, in excess of the number of shares that NASDAQ's Rules
4350(i)(1)(C) and (D) permit the Company to issue in such transactions without
prior stockholder approval. The issuance of such 10,000,000 shares to be upon
such terms as the Board of Directors shall deem to be in the best interests of
the Company, for a price of not less than 70% of the price at the time of such
issuance and for an aggregate consideration not to exceed $50,000,000. The
authorization also applies to prior issuances of common stock which are
considered retroactively to have been issued at below market price due to
"integration" with a new issuance.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 and subsequent period we sold common
stock and other securities in transactions in reliance upon exemptions from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 as follows:
o On August 8, 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Antigen Express, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
("Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Antigen became
our wholly-owned subsidiary. Upon consummation of the Merger, we issued
an aggregate of approximately 1,779,974 shares of our common stock to
the former Antigen shareholders in connection with the Merger, and
issued an additional 1,000,000 shares on January 31, 2004. The shares
of our common stock issued in connection with the Merger were
restricted securities. However, they are registered for resale pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-3 that became effective in
November 2003.
32
o During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2003, we issued an
aggregate of 487,500 shares to Jeffrey Trenk, Sound Capital
Incorporated, Global Advisory Services, LLC and CEOcast Inc. for
consulting services. For financial reporting purposes, we recognized an
expense of $918,000 in connection with the issuance of these shares for
services, which was approximately equal to the fair market value of the
shares when issued. As these transactions were not eligible for S-8
registration, we relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act") in connection with the issuance of
these shares. The shares are restricted, and each of the consultants,
being primarily engaged in the financial industry, had access to the
information which would have been presented in a registration statement
and sufficient sophistication so as to not require the protections
afforded by registration under the Securities Act. 150,000 of these
shares have been registered for resale on form S-3.
o In January 2004, we completed three private placements of our common
stock and warrants with four accredited investors. Under the terms of
the private placements, we sold units, consisting of an aggregate of
1,984,808 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 496,202 shares of common stock, for gross proceeds of
$3,000,000. In addition to the shares of common stock and warrants
purchased by the investors at each closing, each investor received an
additional investment right to purchase for a period of time up to the
same number of shares of common stock and warrants initially purchased
by such investor. Each investor's additional investment right is
exercisable into additional shares of our common stock and warrants at
an exercise price equal to the last bid price, on a consolidated basis,
on the trading day immediately proceeding the date on which definitive
agreements were signed by us and each investor. The exercise price of
all warrants is equal to 130% of such bid price. We undertook the
offerings in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section
18(b)(4)(D) of the Securities Act of 1933. The proceeds from the
private placements will be used for working capital and other general
corporate purposes directly related to our growth, and the development
of our products.
o In February 2004, we completed three additional private placements of
common stock and warrants with three accredited investors. Pursuant to
the terms of these private placements, we sold units, consisting of an
aggregate of 829,092 shares of common stock and five year warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 207,274 shares of common stock, for gross
proceeds of $1,264,000. In addition to the shares of common stock and
warrants purchased by the investors at each closing, each investor
received an additional investment right to purchase for a period of
time up to the same number of shares of common stock and warrants
initially purchased by such investor. Each investor's additional
investment right is exercisable into additional shares of our common
stock and warrants at an exercise price equal to the last bid price, on
a consolidated basis, on the trading day immediately proceeding the
date on which definitive agreements were signed by us and each
investor. The exercise price of all warrants is equal to 130% of such
bid price. We undertook the offerings in reliance upon Rule 506 of
Regulation D and Section 18(b)(4)(D) of the Securities Act. The
proceeds from the private placements will be used for working capital
and other general corporate purposes directly related to our growth,
and the development of our products.
33
o On February 6, 2004, we authorized the issuance of an aggregate of
175,000 shares to Sound Capital Incorporated and Global Advisory
Services, LLC for consulting services. For financial reporting
purposes, we recognized an expense of $287,000 in connection with the
issuance of these shares for services, which was approximately equal to
the fair market value of the shares when issued. As transactions were
not eligible for S-8 registration, we relied on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act in connection with the issuance of these shares. The
shares are restricted, and each of the consultants, being primarily
engaged in the financial industry, had access to the information which
would have been presented in a registration statement and sufficient
sophistication so as to not require the protections afforded by
registration under the Securities Act. All of these shares have been
registered for resale on form S-3.
o In July 2004, we completed a private placement of our common stock and
warrants with four accredited investors. In accordance with the terms
of the private placement, we sold units, consisting of an aggregate of
2,459,016 shares of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 1,967,213 shares of common stock, for gross proceeds of
$3,000,000. In addition to the shares of common stock and warrants
purchased by the investors at closing, each received an additional
investment right to purchase for a period of time up to the same number
of shares of common stock and warrants initially purchased by such
investor. Each investor's additional investment right is exercisable
into additional shares of our common stock and warrants at an exercise
price equal to the last bid price, on a consolidated basis, on the

18(b)(4)(D) of the Securities Act of 1933. The proceeds from the
private placement will be used for working capital and other general
corporate purposes directly related to our growth, and the development
of our products.
o During the first fiscal quarter of 2005, we issued 770,000 shares and
500,000 warrants to purchase our common stock to consultants in
exchange for services. For financial reporting purposes, we recognized
an expense of $1,254,300 in connection with the issuance of these
shares and warrants, which represents their fair market value.
On November 10, 2004, the Company entered into definitive agreements
with four accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company will
issue convertible promissory notes for aggregate gross proceeds of
$4,000,000. The notes carry a 6% coupon and a 15 month term and
amortize in 13 equal monthly installments commencing in the third month
of the term. The notes are convertible into registered common stock of
the Company at a per share price equal to the 10-day Volume Weighted
Average Price (VWAP) on the closing date. The coupon and amortization
payments are payable in cash or, at the Company's option, in registered
stock valued at a 10% discount to the 20-day VWAP at as the payment

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
GENERAL
Corporate History
We were incorporated in Delaware in September 1997 for the purpose of acquiring
Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Canadian corporation formed in November 1995 to
engage in pharmaceutical and biotechnological research and other activities. Our
acquisition of Generex Pharmaceuticals was completed in October 1997 in a
transaction in which the holders of all outstanding shares of Generex
Pharmaceuticals exchanged their shares for shares of our common stock.
In January 1998, we participated in a "reverse acquisition" with Green Mt. P.
S., Inc., a previously inactive Idaho corporation formed in 1983. As a result of
this transaction, our stockholders (the former shareholders of Generex
Pharmaceuticals) acquired a majority (approximately 90%) of the outstanding
capital stock of Green Mt., we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Mt.,
Green Mt. changed its corporate name to Generex Biotechnology Corporation
("Generex Idaho"), and we changed our corporate name to GBC Delaware, Inc.
Because the reverse acquisition resulted in our stockholders becoming the
majority holders of Generex Idaho, we were treated as the acquiring corporation
in the transaction for accounting purposes. Thus, our historical financial
statements, which essentially represented the historical financial statements of
Generex Pharmaceuticals, were deemed to be the historical financial statements
of Generex Idaho.
In April 1999, we completed a reorganization in which we merged with Generex
Idaho. In this transaction, all outstanding shares of Generex Idaho were
converted into our shares, Generex Idaho ceased to exist as a separate entity,
and we changed our corporate name back to "Generex Biotechnology Corporation."
This reorganization did not result in any material change in our historical
financial statements or current financial reporting.
In August, 2003, we acquired Antigen Express, Inc. ("Antigen") pursuant to the
terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). Antigen is
engaged in the research and development of technologies and immunomedicines for
the treatment of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases. For
details about this acquisition, see "Business History."
Business History
We are primarily engaged in the development of proprietary drug delivery
technology. Our principal business focus has been to develop a technology for
buccal delivery (absorption through the inner cheek walls) of large molecule
drugs, i.e., drugs composed of molecules with molecular weights above a
specified level. Large molecule drugs historically have been administered only
by injection because their size inhibits or precludes absorption if administered
by oral, transdermal, transnasal or other means.
36
Our first product is an insulin formulation that is administered as a fine spray
into the oral cavity using a hand-held aerosol spray applicator. Between January
1999 and September 2000, we conducted limited clinical trials on this product in
the United States, Canada and Europe. In September 2000, we entered into an
agreement (the "Development and License Agreement") to develop this product with
Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly"). To date, over 800 patients with diabetes have
been dosed with our oral insulin product at approved facilities in seven
countries. We have conducted several clinical trials with insulin supplied by
Lilly under our agreement. Lilly did not, however, authorize or conduct any
clinical trials or provide financial support for those trials. We did receive a
$1,000,000 up front payment from Lilly. On May 23, 2003, we announced that we
had agreed with Lilly to end the Development and License Agreement for the
development and commercialization of buccal delivery of insulin. On November 5,
2003, we entered into a termination agreement with Lilly terminating the
Development and License Agreement, effective as of June 2, 2003. We will retain
all of the intellectual property and commercialization rights with respect to
buccal spray drug delivery technology, and we will have the continuing right to
develop and commercialize the product. We also entered into a Bulk Supply
Agreement (the "Bulk Supply Agreement") for the sale of human insulin crystals
by Lilly to us over a three year period. The Bulk Supply Agreement establishes
purchase prices, minimum purchase requirements, maximum amounts which may be
purchased in each year and a non-refundable prepayment of $1,500,000 to be
applied against amounts due for purchases.
In January 2001, we established a joint venture with Elan International
Services, Ltd. ("EIS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elan Corporation, plc (EIS
and Elan Corporation, plc being collectively referred to as "Elan"), to pursue
the application of certain of our and Elan's drug delivery technologies,
including our platform technology for the buccal delivery of pharmaceutical
products, for the treatment of prostate cancer, endometriosis and/or the
suppression of testosterone and estrogen. In January 2002, we and Elan agreed to
expand the joint venture to encompass the buccal delivery of morphine for the
treatment of pain and agreed to pursue buccal morphine as the initial
pharmaceutical product for development under Generex (Bermuda) Ltd., the entity
through which the joint venture is being conducted. This expansion of the joint
venture occurred after we successfully completed a proof of concept clinical
study of morphine delivery using our proprietary buccal delivery technology.
In connection with the joint venture, EIS purchased 1,000 shares of a new series
of our preferred stock, designated as Series A Preferred Stock, for $12,015,000.
We applied the proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock to
subscribe for an 80.1% equity ownership interest in Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. EIS
paid in capital of $2,985,000 to subscribe for a 19.9% equity ownership interest
in the joint venture entity. Subsequent to its purchase of the Shares of Series
A Preferred Stock, EIS transferred the shares to an affiliate of Elan. While we
presently own 80.1% of the joint venture entity, the Elan affiliate has the
right, subject to certain conditions, to increase its ownership up to 50% by
exchanging the Series A Preferred Stock for 30.1% of our equity ownership of the
joint venture entity. Alternatively, the Series A Preferred Stock may be
converted, under certain conditions, into shares of our common stock. In
accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, if any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding on January 16, 2007, we are required to
redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the
aggregate Series A Preferred Stock liquidation preference (which currently
equals the aggregate original purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock),
either in cash, or in shares of common stock with a fair market value equal to
the redemption price. In January 2002, 2003 and 2004, pursuant to the terms of
the agreement with EIS, the Elan affiliate received a 6% stock dividend of
Series A Preferred Stock.
EIS also purchased 344,116 shares of our common stock for $5,000,000. We were
permitted to use the proceeds of this sale for any corporate purpose. If the
joint venture achieves certain milestones, we may require EIS to purchase an
additional $1,000,000 of our common stock at a 30% premium to the then
prevailing fair market value of our common stock.
37
Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. was granted non-exclusive licenses to utilize our buccal
delivery technology and certain Elan drug delivery technologies. Using the funds
from its initial capitalization, Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. paid a non-refundable
license fee of $15,000,000 to Elan in consideration for being granted the rights
to utilize the Elan drug delivery technologies.
To date we have not received any substantial economic support from Elan in
connection with the joint venture or the development of the morphine product,
other than its initial capital contribution. However, we have continued to
conduct research and development activities with the morphine product.
Our new subsidiary Antigen is engaged in research and development of
technologies and immunomedicines for the treatment of malignant, infectious,
autoimmune and allergic diseases. Our immunomedicine products work by
stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer
cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self
proteins and allergens). Our immunomedicine products are based on two platform
technologies that were discovered by an executive officer of Antigen, the Ii-Key
hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression. The immunomedicine products are in the
pre-clinical stage of development, and trials in human patients are not expected
for at least 12 months. Development efforts are underway in melanoma, breast
cancer, prostate cancer, HIV, SARS vaccine and Type I diabetes. We are
establishing collaborations with academic centers to advance the technology,
with the ultimate goal of conducting human clinical testing.
We do not expect to receive any revenues from product sales in the current
fiscal year. However, we have received and we expect to continue to receive some
revenue from research grants for Antigen's immunomedicine products. To date, we
have received a total of $627,184 in such research grants. We expect to satisfy
all of our cash needs during the current year from capital raised through equity
financings.
Disclosure Regarding Research and Development Projects
Our major research and development projects are the refinement of our basic
buccal delivery technology, our buccal insulin project and our buccal morphine
product.
Both our insulin product and our morphine product are in clinical trials. In
Canada, we have recently begun Phase II-B trials for insulin. In order to obtain
FDA and Canadian HPB approval for any of our product candidates, we will be
required to complete "Phase III" trials which involve testing our product with a
large number of patients over a significant period of time. The conduct of Phase
III trials will require significantly greater funds than we either have on hand
or have experience in raising in any year or two years' time. We will therefore
need to receive funding from a corporate collaborator, or engage in fundraising
on a scale with which we have no experience.
Because of various uncertainties, we cannot predict the timing of completion of
our buccal insulin or buccal morphine products. These uncertainties include the
success of current studies, our ability to obtain the required financing and the
time required to obtain regulatory approval even if our research and development
efforts are completed and successful. For the same reasons, we cannot predict
when any products may begin to produce net cash inflows.
38
Most of our buccal delivery research and development activities to date have
involved developing our platform technology for use with insulin and morphine.
Insubstantial amounts have been expended on projects with other drugs, and those
projects involved a substantial amount of platform technology development.
Therefore, in the past, we have not made significant distinctions in the
accounting for research and development expenses among products, as a
significant portion of all research has involved improvements to the platform
technology in connection with insulin, which may benefit all of our potential
products. During fiscal 2004, approximately 88% of our $8,522,984 research
expenses were attributable to insulin and platform technology development, and
approximately 1% was attributable to morphine and fentanyl projects. As morphine
and fentanyl are both narcotic painkillers, the research is related. During
fiscal 2003, approximately 94% of our $5,150,075 of research and development was
expended for insulin and platform technology, and approximately 5.5% for
morphine and fentanyl.
Approximately 11%, or $937,385 of our research and development expenses for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 were related to Antigen's immunomedicine
products. Because these products are in a very early, pre-clinical stage of
development, all of the expenses were accounted for as basic research and no
distinctions were made as to particular products. Because of the early stage of
development, we cannot predict the timing of completion of any products arising
from this technology, or when products from this technology might begin
producing revenues. However, we can predict that we do not expect to begin
clinical trials during the current fiscal year.
Developments in Fiscal 2004
In August 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Antigen
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") between us,
Antigen and AGEXP Acquisition, Inc. ("AGEXP"), our wholly owned subsidiary that
was formed for purposes of the transaction. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement:
o AGEXP merged with and into Antigen (the "Merger");
o Antigen became our wholly owned subsidiary; and
o all of the former shareholders of Antigen were entitled to receive
shares of our common stock in exchange for their shares of Antigen
capital stock.
Antigen has facilities and its headquarters located at Worcester, Massachusetts.
Antigen is engaged in research and development to develop immunomedicines for
the treatment of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases.
Antigen's potential products are based on two platform technologies (Ii-Key
hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression) discovered by an officer of Antigen.
The Merger Agreement provided for each holder of Antigen common stock and each
holder of each of the four outstanding series of Antigen preferred stock to
receive shares of our common stock for each share of Antigen common stock or
preferred stock held by such holder. The Merger Agreement established exchange
rates for the conversion of Antigen common and the various series of preferred
stock into our common stock. Upon consummation of the Merger, we issued an
aggregate of approximately 1,779,974 shares of our common stock to the former
Antigen stockholders in connection with the Merger, and issued an additional
1,000,000 shares on January 31, 2004. In addition, pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, we assumed Antigen common stock purchase options. These options have
been exercised for a total of 105,000 shares at an average exercise price of
$0.40 per share. The remainder of the option shares expired November 6, 2003.
39
The shares of our common stock issued in connection with the Merger are
restricted securities. However, they are registered for resale pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-3 that became effective in November 2003
More information regarding the accounting for this transaction is contained in
Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements contained in this report.
We have committed to funding at least $2,000,000 for Antigen's research and
development projects in the next two years.
In January 2004, we completed three private placements of our common stock and
warrants. Under the terms of the private placements, we sold units, consisting
of an aggregate of 1,984,808 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 496,202 shares of common stock, to four accredited
investors for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. In addition to the shares of common
stock and warrants purchased by the investors at each closing, each investor
received an additional investment right to purchase for a period of time up to
the same number of shares of common stock and warrants initially purchased by
such investor.
We anticipate using the proceeds from the private placements for working capital
and other general corporate purposes directly related to our growth, and the
development of our products.
On January 31, 2004, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock we were
obligated to issue to the former shareholders of Antigen in accordance with the
terms of the Merger Agreement.
In February 2004, we completed three additional private placements of common
stock and warrants with three accredited investors. Pursuant to the terms of
these private placements, we sold units, consisting of 829,092 shares of common
stock and five year warrants to purchase 207,274 shares of common stock, for
gross proceeds of $1,264,000. In addition to the shares of common stock and
warrants purchased by the investors at each closing, each investor received an
additional investment right to purchase for a period of time up to the same
number of shares of common stock and warrants initially purchased by such
investor.
We anticipate using the proceeds from the private placements for working capital
and other general corporate purposes directly related to our growth, and the
development of our products.
On February 3, 2004, we announced the resignations of Peter Levitch and Dr.
Pankaj Modi from our Board of Directors.
On February 12, 2004, we announced the appointment of Mindy J. Allport-Settle to
our Board of Directors, filling the vacancy left from Mr. Levitch's resignation.
Ms. Allport-Settle has been President and Chief Executive Officer of Integrated
Development, LLC ("Integrated") since 1998. Integrated is an independent
consulting firm to the pharmaceutical industry, providing informed guidance in
operational, project and contract management, new business development and
regulatory compliance. In addition to her position with Integrated, Ms.
Allport-Settle has been a Vice-President of Impact Management Services, Inc.
("IMS") since 2003, which also provides consulting services to the
pharmaceutical industry. In her current positions at Integrated and IMS, Ms.
Allport-Settle has worked with companies such as GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer,
AstraZeneca, Johnson Controls and DSM Pharmaceuticals.
40
On March 9, 2004, we entered into a Memorandum of Agreement as a result of
termination of one of our employees, whereby we are required to pay
approximately $432,000 and issue stock options to purchase 450,000 shares of our
common stock at $1.47 per share.
On March 17, 2004, we announced the appointment of Brian McGee to our Board of
Directors. Mr. McGee has been a partner of Zeifman & Company, LLP, Chartered
Accounting firm based in Toronto, Ontario, since 1995. Mr. McGee began working
at Zeifman shortly after receiving a B.A. degree in Commerce from the University
of Toronto in 1985.
In July 2004, we completed a private placement of our common stock and warrants
with four accredited investors. In accordance with the terms of the private
placement, we sold units, consisting of an aggregate of 2,459,016 shares of our
common stock and five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,967,213 shares
of common stock, for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. In addition to the shares of
common stock and warrants purchased by the investors at closing, each received
an additional investment right to purchase for a period of time up to the same
number of shares of common stock and warrants initially purchased by such
investor. Each investor's additional investment right is exercisable into
additional shares of our common stock and warrants at an exercise price equal to
the last bid price, on a consolidated basis, on the trading day immediately
proceeding the date on which definitive agreements were signed by us and each
investor. The exercise price of all warrants is equal to 130% of such bid price.
We undertook the offerings in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section
18(b)(4)(D) of the Securities Act of 1933. The proceeds from the private
placements will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes
directly related to our growth, and the development of our products.
Developments Subsequent to Fiscal 2004.
On August 10, 2004 we issued an aggregate 770,000 shares of our common stock and
500,000 warrants to purchase our common stock to certain consultants in exchange
for financial services recognizing expense of $1,254,300 to financial services.
On August 17, 2004, the Arbitration Panel of the New York Stock Exchange issued
a final award in the case of Sands vs. the Company, awarding Sands $150,000 in
reliance damages. No motion to confirm this award has been filed by Sands as of
the date of this report. Sands has not sought leave to appeal the vacaturs of
the prior panel's warrant award to the New York Court of Appeals.
On August 26, 2004, Dr. Pankaj Modi resigned from his position as an officer of
the Company (Vice-President, Research & Development). Also, on August 26, 2004
Dr. Modi gave notice to the Company that the Consulting Agreement between Dr.
Modi and the Company will terminate effective August 25, 2005. See "Developments
in Fiscal 2004" under Management's Discussion and Analysis. We do not believe
that Dr. Modi's resignation or the termination of his Consulting Agreement with
us will materially adversely affect us.
On October 18, 2004, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreement to
sell 800,000 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share for the gross proceeds of
$2,000,000. The closing date for this transaction is to be agreed upon, but in
no event later than December 10, 2004.
41
On November 10, 2004, the Company entered into definitive agreements with four
accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company will issue convertible
promissory notes for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000,000. The notes carry a
6% coupon and a 15 month term and amortize in 13 equal monthly installments
commencing in the third month of the term. The notes are convertible into
registered common stock of the Company at a per share price equal to the 10-day
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) on the closing date. The coupon and
amortization payments are payable in cash or, at the Company's option, in
registered stock valued at a 10% discount to the 20-day VWAP at as the payment
date. The transaction terms include 100% five-year warrant coverage at a per
share exercise price equal to a 10% premium to the 10-day VWAP on the closing
date and a 100% additional investment right exercisable for up to twelve months
following the effective date of the registration statement in respect of the
transaction.
RESTATEMENT
Subsequent to the issuance of its financial statements for the year ended July
31, 2001, management determined that its Series A Preferred stock should be
reclassified from stockholders' equity, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task
Force Topic D-98, "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities,"
because the redemption feature of the Series A Preferred stock is beyond our
control. This restatement did not affect net loss for the year ended July 31,
2001, nor did it affect total assets. The Series A Preferred stock should have
been included outside the statement of stockholders' equity from the date of its
issuance in January 2001.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - - 2004 COMPARED WITH 2003
We had a net loss of $18,362,583 for the year ended July 31, 2004 (fiscal 2004)
compared to a net loss of $13,261,764 in the year ended July 31, 2003 (fiscal
2003). The net loss for fiscal 2004 and 2003 excludes $810,003 and $764,154,
respectively, in non-cash stock dividend on preferred shares. The increase in
our fiscal 2004 net loss resulted from an increase in research and development
expenses (to $8,522,984 from $5,150,075) and an increase in general and
administrative expenses (to $10,669,541 from $8,698,615)
The increase in research and development expenses for fiscal 2004 reflects
research and development activities of Antigen, the increase in activities of
regulatory consultants, bulk insulin purchases and an increase in depreciation
of the patents due to additional patents acquired in the Antigen Merger. The
increase in general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2004 reflects the
increase in consulting services, increased level of participation in industry
shows and seminars, travel associated with shows and financing activities,
increased insurance and depreciation expenses as well as termination agreements.
The increase in general and administrative expenses was partially offset by a
decrease in legal and litigation expenses and a reduction in executive
compensation.
Our interest and miscellaneous income (net of interest expense) in fiscal 2004
decreased to $129,198 from $565,511 in fiscal 2003 due to decreases in our cash
and short-term investments and lower interest rates. We received higher income
from rental operations (net of expense) of $73,560 in fiscal 2004 compared to
$20,790 in fiscal 2003.
In both of the last two fiscal years, we incurred substantial expenses for
financial advisory and other financing services that were not related to a
specific financing and, therefore, were accounted for as general and
administrative expenses. These expenses ($2,256,503 in fiscal 2004 and
$2,239,431 in fiscal 2003) were paid partially through the issuance of common
stock and/or warrants and options to purchase common stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - - 2003 COMPARED WITH 2002
We had a net loss of $13,261,764 for the year ended July 31, 2003 (fiscal 2003)
compared to a net loss of $13,693,034 in the year ended July 31, 2002 (fiscal
2002). The net loss for fiscal 2003 and 2002 excludes $764,154 and $720,900,
respectively, in preferred stock dividend on preferred shares. The decrease in
our fiscal 2003 net loss resulted from a decrease in research and development
expenses (to $5,150,075 from $6,618,820) that was offset in part by an increase
in general and administrative expenses (to $8,698,615 from $7,911,626)
The increase in general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2003 reflects the
issuance of common stock, options and warrants to employees, consultants and
advisors for services rendered that resulted in an increase in non-cash charges
of $882,698 (to $1,313,585 from $430,887). The increase in general and
administrative expenses was partially offset by a decrease in legal and
litigation expenses and a reduction in travel expenses. The decrease in research
and development expenses for fiscal 2003 reflects the decreased level of
research and development activities under our collaboration with Elan and under
the collaboration with Lilly, which terminated in May 2003.
Our interest and miscellaneous income (net of interest expense) in fiscal 2003
decreased to $565,511 from $784,852 in fiscal 2002 due to decreases in our cash
and short-term investments and lower interest rates. We received income from
rental operations (net of expense) of $20,790 in fiscal 2003. We did not receive
any income from rental operations in fiscal 2003.
In both of the last two fiscal years, we incurred substantial expenses for
financial advisory and other financing services that were not related to a
specific financing and, therefore, were accounted for as general and
administrative expenses. These expenses ($2,239,431 in fiscal 2003 and
$1,144,252 in fiscal 2002) were paid partially through the issuance of common
stock and/or warrants and options to purchase common stock.
In addition, in fiscal 2003, the minority shareholder's share of the loss
generated by Generex (Bermuda), Ltd., was $625 as compared to a $52,560 in
fiscal 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To date we have financed our development stage activities primarily through
private placements of common stock. In fiscal 2004, we raised an aggregate of
approximately $7,264,000 from private placements. In fiscal 2004 we granted
stock options, warrants and shares of common stock to employees, consultants and
advisors with a value of $1,538,405 for services rendered, all of which are
included in general and administrative expenses. In September 2001, we began a
program to repurchase up to $1 million of our common stock from the open market.
Through July 31, 2004 we repurchased and cancelled a total of 149,500 shares of
common stock for $483,869 at an average price of $3.24 per share.
Notwithstanding the repurchase of the shares of common stock, our net loss
resulted in a decrease in stockholders' equity to $529,751 at July 31, 2004,
versus $5,856,965 at July 31, 2003.
43
At July 31, 2004, we had on hand cash and short term investments (primarily
notes of U.S. corporations) of approximately $5 million versus approximately
$14.7 million at July 31, 2003.
We believe that our current cash position is sufficient to meet all of our
working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Beyond that, we may
require additional funds to support our working capital requirements or for
other purposes and may seek to raise funds through private or public equity
financing or from other sources. If we were unable to raise additional capital
as needed, we could be required to "scale back" or otherwise revise our business
plan. Any significant scale back of operations or modification of our business
plan due to a lack of funding could be expected to materially and adversely
affect our prospects.
In the past we have funded most of our development and other costs with equity
financing. While we have been able to raise equity capital as required,
unforeseen problems with our clinical program or materially negative
developments in general economic conditions could interfere with our ability to
raise additional equity capital as needed, or materially adversely affect the
terms upon which such capital is available.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. It 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.
We consider certain accounting policies related to impairment of long-lived
assets, intangible assets and accrued liabilities to be critical to our business
operations and the understanding of our results of operations:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Management reviews for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property
and equipment may not be recoverable under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." If it is determined that an impairment loss has
occurred based upon expected future cash flows, the loss is recognized in the
Statement of Operations.
Intangible Assets. We have intangible assets related to patents. The
determination of the related estimated useful lives and whether or not these
assets are impaired involves significant judgments. In assessing the
recoverability of these intangible assets, we use an estimate of undiscounted
operating income and related cash flows over the remaining useful life, market
conditions and other factors to determine the recoverability of the asset. If
these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be
required to record impairment charges against these assets.
Estimating accrued liabilities, specifically litigation accruals. Management's
current estimated range of liabilities related to pending litigation is based on
management's best estimate of future costs. While the final resolution of the
litigation could result in amounts different than current accruals, and
therefore have an impact on our consolidated financial results in a future
reporting period, management believes the ultimate outcome will not have a
significant effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
On May 3, 2001, we advanced $334,300 to each of three senior officers, who are
also our stockholders, in exchange for promissory notes. These notes bore
interest at 8.5 percent per annum and were payable in full on May 1, 2002. These
notes were guaranteed by a related company owned by these officers and secured
by a pledge of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock owned by this related
company. On June 3, 2002, our Board of Directors extended the maturity date of
the loans to October 1, 2002. The other terms and conditions of the loans and
guaranty remained unchanged and in full force and effect. As of July 31, 2002,
the balance outstanding on these notes, including accrued interest, was
$1,114,084. Pursuant to a decision made by the Compensation Committee as of
August 30, 2002, these loans were satisfied through the application of 592,716
shares of pledged stock, at a value of $1.90 per share, which represented the
lowest closing price during the sixty days prior to August 30, 2002.
Prior to January 1, 1999, a portion of our general and administrative expenses
resulted from transactions with affiliated persons, and a number of capital
transactions also involved affiliated persons. Although these transactions were
not the result of "arms-length" negotiations, we do not believe that this fact
had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. Prior
to December 31, 1998, we classified certain payments to executive officers for
compensation and expense reimbursements as "Research and Development - related
party" and "General and Administrative - related party" because the executive
officers received such payments through personal services corporations rather
than directly. After December 31, 1998, these payments have been and will
continue to be accounted for as though the payments were made directly to the
officers, and not as a related party transaction. We do not foresee a need for,
and therefore do not anticipate, any related party transactions in the current
fiscal year.
On August 7, 2002, we purchased real estate with an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $1.6 million from an unaffiliated party. In connection with that
transaction, Angara Enterprises, Inc., a licensed real estate broker that is an
affiliate of Anna Gluskin, received a commission from the proceeds of the sale
to the seller in the amount of 3% of the purchase price, or $45,714. We believe
that this is less than the aggregate commission which would have been payable if
a commission had been negotiated with an unaffiliated broker on an arm's length
basis.
We utilize a management company to manage all of our real properties. The
property management company is owned by Rose Perri, Anna Gluskin and the estate
of Mark Perri, our former Chairman of the Board. In the fiscal years ended July
31, 2004 and 2003 we paid the management company approximately $40,180 and
$33,237, respectively, in management fees.
46
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the FASB issued interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The primary objectives of this
interpretation are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for
which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights
("variable interest entities") and how to determine when and which business
enterprise (the "primary beneficiary") should consolidate the variable interest
entity. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either
(i) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest;
or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's
activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from
other parties. In addition, FIN 46 requires that the primary beneficiary, as
well as all other enterprises with a significant variable interest entity, make
additional disclosures. Certain disclosure requirements of FIN 46 were effective
for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the
FASB issued FIN 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities" ("FIN 46-R") to address certain FIN 46 implementation issues. The
effective dates and impact of FIN 46 and FIN 46-R are as follows: (i)
Special-purpose entities ("SPEs") created prior to February 1, 2003. The Company
must apply either the provisions of FIN 46 or early adopt the provisions of FIN
46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after
December 15, 2003. (ii) Non-SPEs created prior to February 1, 2003. The Company
is required to adopt FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual
reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. (iii) All entities, regardless of
whether an SPE, that were created subsequent to January 31, 2003. The provisions
of FIN 46 were applicable for variable interests in entities obtained after
January 31, 2003. The Company does not have any arrangements with variable
interest entities that will require consolidation of their financial information
in the financial statements.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for
hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." The changes are intended to improve financial reporting
by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for
similarly. Additionally, those changes are expected to result in more consistent
reporting of contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments. SFAS No. 149
is effective for contracts and hedging relationships entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003, and for provisions that relate to SFAS No. 133
implementation issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began
prior to June 15, 2003, apply in accordance with their respective effective
dates. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
47
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liability and Equity." SFAS No. 150
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liability and equity. It also
requires that an issuer classify a 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. SFAS No. 150 is 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, except for mandatory redeemable noncontrolling interests. The adoption of
this statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
48
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the exchange rates
between U.S. and Canadian currencies and with changes in the interest rates
related to our fixed rate debt. We do not believe that any of these risks will
have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
At the present time, we maintain our cash in short term government or government
guaranteed instruments, short term commercial paper, interest bearing bank
deposits or demand bank deposits which do not earn interest. A substantial
majority of these instruments and deposits are denominated in U.S. dollars, with
the exception of funds denominated in Canadian dollars on deposit in Canadian
banks to meet short term operating needs in Canada. At the present time, with
the exception of professional fees and costs associated with the conduct of
clinical trials in the United States and Europe, substantially all of our
operating expense obligations are denominated in Canadian dollars. We do not
presently employ any hedging or similar strategy intended to mitigate against
losses that could be incurred as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates
between U.S. and Canadian currencies.
As of July 31, 2004, we have a fixed rate debt totaling $2,224,783 comprised of
$787,402 at 5.8%, $300,920 at 8.5%, $573,184 at 9.7%, $187,127 at 10% and
$376,150 at 11.5%. All interest rates are fixed and the instruments mature from
July 2005 through August 2006. As our fixed rate debt matures, we will likely
refinance such debt at their existing market interest rates which may be more or
less than the fixed interest rates on the maturing debt. Because this debt is
fixed rate debt, if interest rates were to increase 100 basis points prior to
maturity, there would be no impact on earnings or cash flows.
We have not issued nor do we own any long term debt instruments, or any other
financial instruments, for trading purposes and as to which we would be subject
to material market risks.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
To the Directors and Stockholders of
Generex Biotechnology Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Generex Biotechnology
Corporation (a development stage company) as at July 31, 2004 and 2003 and the
consolidated statements of operation, stockholder's equity and cash flows for
the years then ended and for the period from November 2, 1995 (date of
inception) to July 31, 2004. 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 did not audit the
consolidated financial statements of Generex Biotechnology Corporation for the
period from November 2, 1995 (date of inception) to July 31, 2002. Such
statements are included in the cumulative inception to July 31, 2004 totals on
the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows and reflect a net loss
of 67% of the related cumulative total. Those statements were audited by other
auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to amounts for the period from November 2, 1995 (date of inception) to
July 31, 2004 included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report
of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 and the report of
other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, these
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Generex Biotechnology Corporation (a development stage
company) as at July 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 2, 1995 (date of
inception) to July 31, 2004 in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Generex Biotechnology Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, changes
in stockholders' equity and cash flows of Generex Biotechnology Corporation and

for the period from November 2, 1995 (date of inception) to July 31, 2002. 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. The Company's financial statements for the period from November 2,
1995 (date of inception) through July 31, 2000 were audited by other auditors
whose report, dated September 14, 2000, expressed an unqualified opinion on
those statements. The financial statements for the period November 2, 1995 (date
of inception) through July 31, 2000 reflect total revenues and net loss of $-0-
and $21,816,725, respectively, of the related totals. The other auditors' report
has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for such prior period, is based solely on the report of such auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform an 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 and the report of
other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of
operations and cash flows of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2002 and
for the period from November 2, 1995 (date of inception) to July 31, 2002, in

GENEREX BIOTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:
Generex Biotechnology Corporation (the Company) is engaged in the
research and development of drug delivery systems and technology.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted its efforts and
resources to the development of a platform technology for the oral
administration of large molecule drugs, including proteins,
peptides, monoclonal antibodies, hormones and vaccines, which
historically have been administered by injection, either
subcutaneously or intravenously.
The Company's new subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc. (Antigen), is
engaged in research and development of technologies and
immunomedicines for the treatment of malignant, infectious,
autoimmune and allergic diseases. The Company's immunomedicine
products work by stimulating the immune system to either attack
offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to
stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens).
The immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies
that were discovered by an executive officer of Antigen, the Ii-Key
hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression. These technologies are expected
to greatly boost immune cell responses which diagnose and treat the
ailments and conditions.
The Company is a development stage company, which has a limited
history of operations and has not generated any revenues from
operations prior to the acquisition of Antigen (see Note 3) with
the exception of the $1 million received in conjunction with the
execution of a development agreement. Subsequent to the acquisition
of Antigen, the Company has grant revenue from government agencies
related to Antigen's operations. The Company has no products
approved for commercial sale at the present time. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining
regulatory clearance for the sale of existing or any future
products or that any of the Company's products will be commercially
viable.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest
is maintained. For those consolidated subsidiaries where the
Company ownership is less than 100 percent, the outside
stockholders' interests are shown as minority interests. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE CORPORATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, "Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises."
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments consisted primarily of short-term notes of
U.S. corporations and Canadian government savings bonds with
original maturities of between three to twelve months and one to
five years at July 31, 2003. These short-term notes are classified
as held to maturity and are valued at amortized cost. At July 31,
2003, the cost of the investments approximated market value. There
are no short-term investments as of July 31, 2004.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from
three to thirty years. Gains and losses on depreciable assets
retired or sold are recognized in the statement of operations in
the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are
expensed as incurred.
PROPERTY HELD FOR INVESTMENT
Property held for investment is recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets of thirty years.
Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are
recognized in the statement of operations in the year of disposal.
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.
PATENTS
Legal costs incurred to establish patents are capitalized.
Capitalized costs are amortized on the straight-line method over
the related patent term. As patents are abandoned, the net book
value of the patent is written off.
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company assesses the impairment of patents under SFAS No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable. A determination of
impairment (if any) is made based on estimates of future cash
flows.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is derived principally from grants from government
agencies. The Company recognizes revenue from restricted grants in
the period which the Company has incurred the expenditures in
compliance with the specific restrictions.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred
and include, among other costs, those related to the production of
experimental drugs, including payroll costs, and amounts incurred
for conducting clinical trials. Amounts expected to be received
from governments under research and development tax credit
arrangements are offset against current income tax expense.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method
prescribed by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred
income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets
and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the
tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is
provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has elected to continue to account for its stock
compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles
of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. Under
APB 25, no compensation cost is generally recognized for fixed
stock options in which the exercise price is greater than or equal
to the market price on the grant date. In connection with the
termination of certain employees, the company repriced 1,240,000
options. The repriced options are accounted for under variable
accounting and compensation cost is recognized for the difference
between the exercise price and the market price of the common
shares until such options are exercised, expired or forfeited.
During the years ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company
recognized $45,390 and $-0- of compensation expense in connection
with these options, respectively. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based
employee compensation cost related to stock options is reflected in
the Company's Statements of Operations, as all options granted
under the plan had an exercise price more than or equal to the
market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per
share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The
computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or
contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive
effect on earnings. Refer to Note 15 for methodology for
determining net loss per share.
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Other comprehensive income (loss), which includes only foreign
currency translation adjustments, is shown in the Statement of
Changes in Stockholders' Equity.

GENEREX BIOTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial
institutions in the amount which are more than amounts insured by
the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these
institutions and considers the Company's risk negligible.
The Company places its short-term investments in short-term debt
instruments of high quality U.S. corporations and government
instruments. The Company does not believe there is a significant
credit risk relating to these investments.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 dates of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Foreign denominated assets and liabilities of the Company are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates in
effect at the end of the reporting period. Income statement
accounts are translated at a weighted average of exchange rates
which were in effect during the period. Translation adjustments
that arise from translating the foreign subsidiary's financial
statements from local currency to U.S. currency are recorded in the
other comprehensive loss component of stockholders' equity.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of miscellaneous receivables, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their
short-term nature. Due from related party approximates its fair
value as it is due on demand and long-term debt approximates its
fair value based upon the borrowing rates available for the nature
of the underlying debt.
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement
requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as
assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses
resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be
accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it
qualifies for hedge accounting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
EFFECTS OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the FASB issued interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". The primary
objectives of this interpretation are to provide guidance on the
identification of entities for which control is achieved through
means other than through voting rights ("variable interest
entities") and how to determine when and which business enterprise
(the "primary beneficiary") should consolidate the variable
interest entity. This new model for consolidation applies to an
entity in which either (i) the equity investors (if any) do not
have a controlling financial interest; or (ii) the equity
investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's
activities without receiving additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. In addition, FIN 46 requires that the
primary beneficiary, as well as all other enterprises with a
significant variable interest entity, make additional disclosures.
Certain disclosure requirements of FIN 46 were effective for
financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. In December
2003, the FASB issued FIN 46 (revised December 2003),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46-R") to
address certain FIN 46 implementation issues. The effective dates
and impact of FIN 46 and FIN 46-R are as follows: (i)
Special-purpose entities ("SPEs") created prior to February 1,
2003. The Company must apply either the provisions of FIN 46 or
early adopt the provisions of FIN 46-R at the end of the first
interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2003.
(ii) Non-SPEs created prior to February 1, 2003. The Company is
required to adopt FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or
annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. (iii) All
entities, regardless of whether an SPE, that were created
subsequent to January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46 were
applicable for variable interests in entities obtained after
January 31, 2003. The Company does not have any arrangements with
variable interest entities that will require consolidation of their
financial information in the financial statements.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities
under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." The changes are intended to improve financial
reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable
characteristics be accounted for similarly. Additionally, those
changes are expected to result in more consistent reporting of
contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments. SFAS No. 149
is effective for contracts and hedging relationships entered into
or modified after June 30, 2003, and for provisions that relate to
SFAS No. 133 implementation issues that have been effective for
fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, apply in
accordance with their respective effective dates. The adoption of
this statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liability and
Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liability and equity. It also requires that
an issuer classify a 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. SFAS No. 150 is
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, except for
mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The adoption of
this statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS:
On August 8, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Antigen Express, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") and Antigen became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Antigen's facilities and headquarters are located in Worcester,
Massachusetts. Antigen is engaged in research and development
efforts focused on the development of immunomedicines for the
treatment of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic
diseases.
The acquisition of Antigen brings two additional platform
technologies to the Company. The immunomedicines based on these
technologies allow for specific modulation of the immune system to
allow for activation and re-activation against cancer and
infectious agents and de-activation in the case of if allergy and
autoimmune disease. The delivery technologies currently possessed
by the Company, when used with Antigen's active immunotherapies may
provide for breakthrough therapeutics.
The Merger Agreement provides that each holder of Antigen common
stock and each holder of each of the four outstanding series of
Antigen preferred stock will receive shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, for each share of Antigen common
stock or preferred stock held by such holder. The Merger Agreement
establishes exchange rates for the conversion of Antigen common and
the various series of preferred stock into the Company's common
stock. Assuming that no Antigen stockholder exercises appraisal
rights, an aggregate of 2,779,974 shares of the Company's common
stock will be issued to the former Antigen stockholders in
connection with the Merger. These shares have been valued based
upon the average trading price as quoted on the NASDAQ for the five
days prior and subsequent to the announcement of the acquisition
for a total of $4,645,059 or $1.6709 per share. In addition,
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company assumed Antigen
common stock purchase options. If these options are fully
exercised, the option holders will receive 112,400 shares of the
Company's common stock.
In conjunction with this acquisition, the Company recorded
approximately $4,878,012 of intangible assets, consisting of
granted patents and pending patent applications, which are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives which range from ten to twenty years. The following table
summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in the acquisition:
Current assets $ 100,558
Property and equipment 10,026

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED):
PENDING LITIGATION
On October 2, 1998, Sands Brothers & Co. Ltd., a New York
City-based investment banking and brokerage firm, initiated an
arbitration against the Company under New York Stock Exchange
rules. Sands alleged that it had the right to receive, for nominal
consideration, approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company's
common stock. Sands based its claim upon an October 1997 letter
agreement that was purported by Sands to confirm an agreement
appointing Sands as the exclusive financial advisor to Generex
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company that was
acquired in late 1997. In exchange, the letter agreement purported
to grant Sands the right to acquire 17 percent of Generex
Pharmaceuticals' common stock for nominal consideration. Sands
claimed that its right to receive shares of Generex
Pharmaceuticals' common stock applies to the Company's common stock
since outstanding shares of Generex Pharmaceuticals' common stock
were converted into shares of the Company's common stock in the
acquisition. Sands' claims also included additional shares
allegedly due as a fee related to that acquisition, and $144,000 in
monthly fees allegedly due under the terms of the purported
agreement.
Pursuant to an arbitration award dated September 22, 1999, the
arbitration panel that heard this case awarded Sands $14,070 and
issued a declaratory judgment requiring the Company to issue to
Sands a warrant to purchase 1,530,020 shares of the Company's
common stock pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the
purported October 1997 letter agreement. On October 13, 1999, Sands
commenced a special proceeding to confirm the arbitration award in
the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the
"New York Supreme Court"). On November 10, 1999, the Company moved
to vacate the arbitration award. On March 20, 2000, the New York
Supreme Court granted Sands' petition to confirm the award and
denied the Company's motion to vacate the award. The Company
appealed and on January 23, 2001, the New York State Appellate
Division, First Department (the "Appellate Division"), modified the
judgment of the New York Supreme Court that had confirmed the
arbitration award against the Company. The Appellate Division
affirmed the portion of the New York Supreme Court judgment that
had confirmed the granting of monetary relief of $14,070 to Sands
but modified the judgment to vacate the portion of the arbitration
award directing the issuance to Sands of a warrant to purchase
1,530,020 shares of the Company's common stock. The Appellate
Division held that the portion of the award directing the Company
to issue warrants to Sands is too indefinite to be enforceable and
remanded the matter to the arbitration panel for a final and
definite award with respect to such relief or its equivalent
(including possibly an award of monetary damages). The arbitration
panel commenced hearings on the matters remanded by the Appellate
Division in June 2001. On November 7, 2001, the arbitration panel
issued an award again requiring the Company to issue to Sands a
warrant to purchase 1,530,020 shares of the Company's common stock
purportedly pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the
October 1997 letter agreement. Thereafter, Sands submitted a motion
to the New York Supreme Court to modify and confirm the arbitration
panel's award while the Company filed a motion with the court to
vacate the arbitration award. On February 25, 2002, the New York
Supreme Court vacated the arbitration panel's award. The Supreme
Court concluded that the arbitration panel had "disregarded the
plain meaning" of the directive given by the Appellate Division in
the Appellate Division's January 23, 2001 decision that remanded
the matter of the warrant for reconsideration by the panel. The
Supreme Court found that the arbitration panel's award "lacks a
rational basis". The Supreme Court also remanded the matter to the
New York Stock Exchange on the issue of whether the arbitration
panel should be disqualified. Sands has appealed the February 25,
2002 order of the Supreme Court to the Appellate Division. The
Company filed a cross-appeal on issues relating to the
disqualification of the arbitration panel.

PENDING LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
On October 29, 2002, the Appellate Division issued a decision and
order unanimously modifying the lower court's order by remanding
the issue of damages to a new panel of arbitrators and otherwise
affirming the lower court's order. The Appellate Division's
decision and order limits the issue of damages before the new panel
of arbitrators to reliance damages which is not to include an award
of lost profits. Reliance damages are out-of-pocket damages
incurred by Sands. The Appellate Division stated that the lower
court properly determined that the arbitration award, which had
granted Sands warrants for 1,530,020 shares of the registrant's
stock, was incorrect.
On March 18, 2003, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of
New York denied a motion by Sands for re-argument of the October
29, 2002 decision, or, in the alternative, for leave to appeal to
the Court of Appeals. A new arbitration took place in early June
2004.
On August 17, 2004, the Arbitration Panel of the New York Stock
Exchange issued a final award in the case of Sands vs. the Company,
awarding Sands $150,000 in reliance damages. No motion to confirm
this award has been filed by Sands as of the date of this report.
Sands has not sought leave to appeal the vacaturs of the prior
panel's warrant award to the New York Court of Appeals. As such,
the award is subject to further legal proceedings.
At the present time, the Company is not able to predict the
ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding or to estimate a range of
possible loss from this legal proceeding. Therefore, no provision
has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
In February 2001, a former business associate of the Vice President
of Research and Development (VP), and an entity called Centrum
Technologies Inc. ("CTI") commenced an action in the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice against the Company and the VP seeking,
among other things, damages for alleged breaches of contract and
tortious acts related to a business relationship between this
former associate and the VP that ceased in July 1996. The
plaintiffs' statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if
any, by the Company of three patents allegedly owned by the company
called CTI. On July 20, 2001, the Company filed a preliminary
motion to dismiss the action of CTI as a nonexistent entity or,
alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of
authority of such entity to commence the action. The plaintiffs
brought a cross motion to amend the statement of claim to
substitute Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc. ("CBI") for CTI. CBI is a
corporation of which 50 percent of the shares are owned by the
former business associate and the remaining 50 percent are owned by
the Company. Consequently, the shareholders of CBI are in a
deadlock. The court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the
action of CTI and denied the plaintiffs' cross motion without
prejudice to the former business associate to seek leave to bring a
derivative action in the name of or on behalf of CBI. The former
business associate subsequently filed an application with the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order granting him leave
to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the
VP and the Company. The Company has opposed the application which
is now pending before the Court. In September 2003, the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice granted the request and issued an order
giving the former business associate leave to file an action in the
name of and on behalf of CBI against Modi and the Company. A
statement of claim was served in July 2004. The Company is not able
to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the
present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss,
if any, from this legal proceeding.

Superior Court of Justice for wrongful dismissal. The Ontario
Superior Court of Justice rendered judgment in favor of the
plaintiff for approximately $127,000 plus interest in November 1999

On May 3, 2001, three of the Company's senior officers, who are
also shareholders of the Company, were given loans of $334,300
each, in exchange for promissory notes. These notes bear interest
at 8.5 percent per annum and were originally payable in full on May
1, 2002. The notes were extended until October 1, 2002, at terms
comparable to the original notes. These notes are guaranteed by a
related company owned by these officers and secured by 2,500,000
pledged shares of the Company's common stock currently owned by
this related company. In September 2002, the notes were redeemed
pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement. The outstanding balance of
$1,126,157 was repaid with 592,716 shares of common stock, as
determined by the Compensation Committee. These shares effectively
became treasury stock.
On August 7, 2002 the Company purchased real estate with an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.6 million from an
unaffiliated party. In connection with that transaction, Angara
Enterprises, Inc., a licensed real estate broker that is an
affiliate of a senior officer of the Company, received a commission
from the proceeds of the sale to the seller in the amount of 3% of
the purchase price. Management believes that this is less than the
aggregate commission which would have been payable if an
unaffiliated broker had been used.
The Company utilizes a management company to manage all of its real
properties. The property management company is owned by two of the
Company's senior officers and the estate of the Company's former

During the years ended July 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company
issued stock options, warrants and shares of common stock in
exchange for services rendered to the Company. The fair value of
each stock option and warrant was valued using the Black Scholes
pricing model which takes into account as of the grant date the
exercise price and expected life of the stock option or warrant,
the current price of the underlying stock and its expected
volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk free
interest rate for the term of the stock option or warrant. Shares
of common stock are valued at the quoted market price on the date

NOTE 15 - NET LOSS PER SHARE:
Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the years ended July 31, 2004, 2003

common stockholders for each respective period by the weighted
average shares outstanding during that period. All outstanding
warrants and options and shares to be issued upon conversion of

The Company has a joint venture with Elan International Services,
Ltd. ("EIS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Elan Corporation, plc
(EIS and Elan Corporation, plc being collectively referred to as
"Elan"). Through the joint venture, the parties agreed to pursue
the application of certain of the Company's and Elan's drug
delivery technologies, including the Company's platform technology
for the buccal delivery of large molecule drugs, to pharmaceutical
products for the treatment of prostate cancer, endometriosis and/or
the suppression of testosterone and estrogen. In January 2002, the
parties expanded the joint venture agreement to include buccal
morphine for the management of pain. The parties will conduct the
joint venture through Generex (Bermuda), Ltd. (Generex Bermuda), a
Bermuda limited liability company. The parties are free to develop
other products on their own outside the field of the joint venture.
The Company applied the $12,015,000 that it received from EIS for
the shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 12)
to form Generex Bermuda. The Company's interest in this company
consists of 6,000 shares of Generex Bermuda common stock and 3,612
shares of convertible preferred stock, representing an 80.1 percent
equity ownership interest in Generex Bermuda. At the same time, EIS
remitted $2,985,000 to purchase 2,388 shares of Generex Bermuda
convertible preferred stock, representing a 19.9 percent equity
ownership interest in Generex Bermuda. The Series A Preferred stock
has an exchange feature which allows EIS to acquire an additional

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Effective July 1, 2003, we dismissed Deloitte & Touche, LLP ("Deloitte") and
engaged BDO Dunwoody, LLP ("BDO Dunwoody") to serve as the independent public
accountants to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending July
31, 2003. We have retained BDO Dunwoody to serve as the independent public
accountants to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending July
31, 2004 as well.
The dismissal of Deloitte and the appointment of BDO Dunwoody as independent
public accountants replacing Deloitte was approved by the audit committee of our
Board of Directors. Deloitte did not decline to stand for re-election.
During fiscal years ended July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003, BDO Dunwoody's
reports on our financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles. Deloitte's reports on our financial
statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, the last fiscal year during
which Deloitte served as our independent public accountants, did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the two fiscal years during which Deloitte served as our independent
public accountants, and the subsequent interim period preceding Deloitte's
dismissal, we had no disagreements with Deloitte, as the term "disagreement" is
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte's satisfaction, would
have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in its reports. During the two fiscal years during which Deloitte
served as our independent public accountants, and the subsequent interim period
preceding Deloitte's dismissal, there were no "reportable events" as that term
is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Effective July 1, 2003, we engaged BDO Dunwoody as our independent public
accountants. During the past two fiscal years, we have had no consultations with
BDO Dunwoody concerning: (a) the application of accounting principles to a
specific transaction or the type of opinion that might be rendered on our
financial statements, as to which a written report was provided to us or as to
which we received oral advice from BDO Dunwoody, that BDO Dunwoody concluded was
an important factor in reaching a decision on any accounting, auditing or
financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was the subject of a
disagreement or a reportable event, as those terms are defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on our management's evaluation (with the participation of our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period
covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
