Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not strictly historical in nature are forward-looking statements. These statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about: the timing of the commencement, enrollment, and completion of our clinical trials for our product candidates; the progress or success of our product development programs; the status of regulatory approvals for our product candidates; the timing of product launches; our ability to protect our intellectual property and operate our business without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others; and our estimates for future performance, anticipated operating losses, future revenues, capital requirements, and our needs for additional financing. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “goal,” or other variations of these terms (including their use in the negative) or by discussions of strategies, plans or intentions. These statements are only predictions based on current information and expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The underlying information and expectations are likely to change over time. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and those set forth in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

1. Description of the company:

Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: “ABPI”) is a biotechnology company that is developing Revimmune™ as a comprehensive system of care for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Additionally, through the Company’s, majority-owned subsidiary, Biovest International, Inc., the Company is developing BiovaxID® as a therapeutic cancer vaccine for treatment of follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (“FL”) and mantle cell lymphoma (“MCL”). Through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Analytica International, Inc. (“Analytica”), they conduct a health economics research and consulting business which Analytica markets to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, using Analytica’s operating cash flow to support the Company’s corporate administration and product development activities.

Revimmune™ is being developed as a treatment for various autoimmune diseases. The approximately 80 known autoimmune diseases generally arise from an overactive immune response against substances and/or tissue normally present in the body. As a system of care, Revimmune consists of administering high, pulsed doses of an FDA-approved drug, cyclophosphamide, over a four-day interval as part of an integrated risk management system including a panel of preventive tests, monitoring and medications which are intended to minimize risks while seeking to maximize the clinical benefit.

Through a collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (“NCI”), the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Biovest International, Inc. (OTCQB: “BVTI”) (“Biovest”) has developed a patient-specific cancer vaccine, BiovaxID®, which has demonstrated statistically significant Phase 3 clinical benefit by prolonging disease-free survival in FL patients treated with BiovaxID.

Additionally, through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Analytica International, Inc. (“Analytica”), based in New York City, the Company conducts a global research and strategy consulting business that provides professional services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Since 1997, Analytica has expertly directed research studies and projects, including traditional health economic modeling projects, database studies, structured reviews, health technology assessments, reimbursement analyses, and value dossiers.

2. Chapter 11 Reorganization:

On November 10, 2008, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Analytica, TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc. d/b/a Accentia Pharmaceuticals (“TEAMM” or “Accentia Pharmaceuticals”), AccentRx, Inc. (“AccentRx”), and Accentia Specialty Pharmacy (“ASP”) (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company operated its business as a debtor-in-possession in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 11, and was subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. On August 16, 2010, the Company filed its First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, and, on October 25, 2010, the Company filed the First Modification to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (collectively and as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”). On October 27, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court held a Confirmation hearing and confirmed the Plan, and, on November 2, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Confirming Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Confirmation Order”), which approved and confirmed the Plan, as modified by the Confirmation Order. The Company emerged from Chapter 11 protection, and the Plan became effective, on November 17, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).

3. Significant accounting policies and consolidation policy:

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from unaudited interim financial information prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulation, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate so that the information presented is not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results as of the dates and for the periods covered by the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

Consolidation policy

Principles of consolidation

The Company consolidates all entities controlled by ownership of a majority interest and, effective February 27, 2007, has consolidated a variable interest entity of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated financial statements include Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Analytica International, Inc. (“Analytica”), TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc. d/b/a Accentia Pharmaceuticals (“TEAMM” or “Accentia Pharmaceuticals”), AccentRx, Inc. (“AccentRx”), and Accentia Specialty Pharmacy (“ASP”); its majority owned subsidiary, Biovest (and its consolidated entities), and Revimmune, LLC, an entity in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Voluntary Petition for Bankruptcy:

ASC Topic 852-Reorganizations, which is applicable to companies in Chapter 11, generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared. However, it does require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business must be reported separately as reorganization items in the statements of operations beginning in the quarter ending December 31, 2008. The balance sheet must distinguish prepetition liabilities subject to compromise from both those prepetition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities that may be affected by a plan of reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. In addition, cash provided by reorganization items must be disclosed separately in the statement of cash flows. The Company became subject to ASC Topic 852 on November 10, 2008, and emerged from Chapter 11 protection on November 17, 2010. The Company has segregated those items as outlined above for all reporting periods between such dates.

Financial instruments:

Financial instruments, as defined in ASC Topic 825, consist of cash, evidence of ownership in an entity and contracts that both (i) impose on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity or (b) to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, long-term debt, royalty liabilities, and derivative financial instruments.

The Company carries cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities at historical costs of which their respective the estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities approximate carrying values due to their current nature. The Company also carries notes payable and long-term debt at historical cost less discounts from warrants issued as loan financing costs; however, fair values of these debt instruments are estimated for disclosure purposes based upon the present value of the estimated cash flows at market interest rates applicable to similar instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities:

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. These instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value.

The Company estimates fair values of all derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, and embedded conversion features utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company generally uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the Company’s trading market price and the trading market price of various peer companies, which have historically had high volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, the Company’s income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

The Company reports its derivative liabilities at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

Grant revenue:

Grant revenue is the result of the Company and Biovest being awarded the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Program Grant from the federal government during 2010. Grant revenue is recognized up to 50% of the reimbursable expenses incurred during 2010 and 2009 for Biovest and 2011 and 2009 for the Company.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance requiring non-controlling interests to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of permanent equity. This new guidance is applicable to the accounting for non-controlling interests and transactions with non-controlling interest holders in consolidated financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, we have adopted this new pronouncement as of October 1, 2009 resulting in a change in stockholders’ equity on our opening fiscal year 2010 consolidated statement of financial condition; however, the adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our results from operations or cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued new guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The Company adopted this new guidance effective October 1, 2009. Certain of the Company’s outstanding warrants and convertible debt contain features which fall under the scope of this guidance resulting in a decrease of $2.2 million and $0.8 million to the October 1, 2009 balances of additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit respectively.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance amending the existing pronouncement related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. This new guidance requires the reporting entities to evaluate former QSPE’s for consolidation, changes the approach to determine a variable interest entity’s primary beneficiary from a quantitative assessment to a qualitative assessment designed to identify a controlling financial interest, and increases the frequency of required assessments to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any variable interest entities which it is a party to. This new guidance is not effective for the Company until October 1, 2010 and earlier adoption is prohibited. This new guidance became effective for the Company on October 1, 2010 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-27 “Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Pharmaceutical Manufacturers” amending Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 720 “Other Expenses” to address questions concerning how pharmaceutical manufacturers should recognize the annual fees imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for each calendar year beginning January 1, 2011. The ASU requires that the liability related to the annual fee be estimated and recorded in full upon the first qualifying sale with a corresponding deferred cost that is amortized to expense over the calendar year that it is payable. The amendment is effective commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

4. Liquidity and management’s plans:

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company had a net loss of $7.5 million. On December 31, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $327.3 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $38 million. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010, was $3.8 million of which $3.5 million was attributable to Biovest. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report included a “going concern” uncertainty on the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010, citing significant losses and working capital deficits at that date, which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Regulatory strategy and commercialization expenditures:

Notwithstanding the prior reports of High-Dose Pulsed Cyclophosphamide as a potential therapy for certain autoimmune diseases. Cyclophosphamide is not currently FDA-approved for the treatment of any autoimmune diseases. These prior studies of High-Dose Pulsed Cyclophosphamide in the United States have been conducted at a limited number of large academic research hospitals and have featured non-uniform inclusion criteria and/or administration schedules. It is generally recognized that there may be significant potential risks of infection or other side effects when High-Dose Pulsed Cyclophosphamide is not administered by highly-qualified personnel in a controlled and regulated clinical setting. While the previous studies are important to the Company’s Revimmune™ development plan, they are not considered sufficient to support regulatory approval. At the core of the Company’s Revimmune development plan is a recognition that controlled and randomized clinical trials will be necessary to demonstrate the efficacy of High-Dose Pulsed Cyclophosphamide to the satisfaction of the FDA and that safety will be an important regulatory and clinical concern which the Company believes will require an FDA approved formal REMS.

There are approximately 80 recognized autoimmune diseases. The Company previously planned to conduct its first randomized and controlled trial of Revimmune in multiple sclerosis (“MS”) , because of the potentially significant impact of such a study and the number of MS patients previously treated with High Dose Cyclophosphamide. However, due to the Company’s limited capital and resources, the Company has modified its Revimmune development plan so as to initially focus on less prevalent autoimmune diseases where the Company perceives a significant unmet medical need including: diffuse systemic sclerosis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Subject to the Company’s capital availability, it plans to undertake clinical trials of Revimmune for the treatment of these two autoimmune diseases in a parallel manner. Diffuse systemic sclerosis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia represent diseases for which the Company believes significant unmet medical needs exist. There is no standard treatment for systemic sclerosis, and while the standard treatment for autoimmune hemolytic anemia is effective for a subset of patients, patients for which this treatment options is not effective, referred to as refractory patients, have very limited options. The Company believes that the significant unmet medical need, the shorter and severe disease course and the smaller prevalence of these autoimmune diseases make them appropriate for the Company’s initial focus. Notwithstanding the initial focus of the Company’s current Revimmune development plan, it continues to believe that new treatment options are needed for MS and the Company remains interested in ultimately conducting studies with Revimmune in MS.

In September 2007, the Company conducted a meeting with the Federal Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regarding its proposed design of a clinical trial for Revimmune to treat MS. The Company considered the FDA meeting to have been constructive. However, with the change in the Company’s Revimmune development plan, it is currently preparing for an additional meeting with the FDA to discuss possible studies in diffuse scleroderma and/or autoimmune hemolytoic anemia. Based on FDA input, the Company anticipates filing an Investigational New Drug Application(s) (“IND”) under which it hopes to conduct its planned clinical trials. Further, the Company plans to discuss with the FDA its plans for a REMS to be developed under the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007.

Biovest has completed its Phase 3 clinical trial of BiovaxID for the indication of FL. Under Biovest’s current regulatory strategy, the Company is performing in-depth analyses of the available clinical trial data in preparation for submission of the data to the FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMEA”) to discuss next steps required for approval. Biovest has ceased enrolling new patients in its Phase 3 clinical trial and has discontinued most clinical trial activities which had the effect of decreasing clinical trial expenses compared to those recorded for prior periods. Biovest’s ability to timely access required financing will continue to be essential to support the ongoing commercialization efforts. Biovest’s inability to obtain required funds or any substantial delay in obtaining required funds will have a material adverse effect on the ongoing commercialization efforts.

Additional expected financing activity:

Management intends to attempt to meet its cash requirements through proceeds from its cell culture and instrument manufacturing and development activities as well as its global research and strategy consulting business, the use of cash on hand, trade vendor credit, restructuring of outstanding debt obligations through the Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings, short-term borrowings, debt and equity financings, and strategic transactions such as collaborations and licensing. The Company’s ability to continue present operations, pay its liabilities as they become due, and meet its obligations for product development is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain additional funding in the near term. Additional sources of funding have not been established; however, the Company anticipates seeking additional financing potentially from a number of sources, including the sale of equity or debt securities, strategic collaborations and recognized research funding programs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing such financing at acceptable terms, if at all. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to continue present operations, pay its existing liabilities as they become due is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain significant external funding, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate funds are not available from the foregoing sources when required, or if the Company determines it to otherwise be in the Company’s best interest, the Company may consider additional strategic financing options, including sales of assets, or the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs or curtail some or all of its commercialization efforts.

if, on any Class 3 Automatic Conversion Date, the Class 3 Automatic Conversion Price is less than $1.00 per share, Dennis Ryll may, at his election, either:

The following are the material terms and conditions of the Class 5 Plan Debentures:

 

   

the Class 5 Plan Debentures mature on May 17, 2012 (provided, however, in the event that the average of the trading price of Biovest’s common stock (as determined in accordance with the Class 5 Plan Debentures and the Plan) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately preceding such maturity date is below $0.75, then the maturity date will automatically be extended for an additional twelve (12) months [May 17, 2013]), and the outstanding principal together with all accrued but unpaid interest is due on such maturity date;

BDSI/Arius Settlement:

On February 17, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order approving an Emezine Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company and BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI”), and entered into as of December 30, 2009. Parties to the Settlement Agreement are the Company, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TEAMM, BDSI, and BDSI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Arius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Arius”).

The purpose of the Settlement Agreement is to memorialize the terms and conditions of a settlement, between the Company and BDSI regarding claims relating to a Distribution Agreement dated March 12, 2004 between Arius and TEAMM (the “Distribution Agreement”) related to the marketing and distribution of Emezine, a product licensed by Arius from Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Limited. Following the issuance in February 2006 by the FDA of a non-approvable letter with respect to the NDA for Emezine, BDSI ceased its Emezine related development efforts and on December 17, 2008, the Distribution Agreement was terminated. The Settlement Agreement resolves the Company’s claims against BDSI under the terminated Distribution Agreement.

The Settlement Agreement provides that the parties mutually release all claims that either may have against each other and, in connection therewith, the Company:

 

  (a) received $2.5 million from BDSI (the “$2.5 Million Payment”); and

 

  (b) received the following royalty rights (the “Product Rights”) from BDSI with respect to BDSI’s BEMA Granisetron product candidate (“BEMA Granisetron”) (or in the event it is not BEMA Granisetron, the third BDSI product candidate, excluding BEMA Bupremorphine, as to which BDSI files an NDA, which, together with BEMA Granisetron, shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Product”):

 

  (i)

70/30 split (BDSI/Company) of royalty received if a third party sells the Product and 85/15 split on net sales if BDSI sells the Product; and

 

  (ii) BDSI will, from the sale of the Product, fully recover amounts equal to (1) all internal and external worldwide development costs of the Product (“Costs”) plus interest (measured on weighted average prime interest rate from first dollar spent until Product launch) and (2) the $2.5 Million Payment plus interest (measured on weighted average prime interest rate from the time of payment until Product launch) before the Company begins to receive its split as described in (b) (i) above; and

 

  (c) issued to BDSI a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase two (2) million shares of Biovest common stock held by the Company, with an exercise price of $0.84 and an expiration date of March 4, 2017. During the initial two (2) year exercise period, any exercise of the Warrant by BDSI will be subject to approval by Biovest.

In the event that BDSI receives any sublicensing or milestone payments associated with the Product up to and including the NDA approval, BDSI will apply 30% of such payments toward payback of the Costs of the Product plus interest and the $2.5 Million Payment plus the interest.

In the event of a proposed sale of BDSI or its assets, BDSI has the right to terminate its Product Right payment obligations to the Company under the Settlement Agreement upon the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the greater of: (i) $4.5 million; or (ii) the fair market value of the Product Rights as determined by an independent third party appraiser. Further, if the Product Right is terminated, the Warrant described above will be terminated if not already exercised, and, if exercised, an amount equal to the strike price will, in addition to the amount in (i) or (ii) above, be paid to the Company.

The fair value of the warrant issued to BDSI was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. The value included in derivative liability is adjusted quarterly and the change is recorded to derivative gain or loss. The value on the grant date was approximately $1.0 million. The value at the end of current period was approximately $1.3 million, resulting in a derivative gain for the three months ended December 31, 2010 of approximately $0.5 million which is recorded as a derivative liability as of December 31, 2010 on accompanying balance sheet.

13. Liabilities subject to compromise:

As a result of the Company’s Chapter 11 filings, the payment of prepetition indebtedness was subject to compromise or other treatment under the Plan prior to the Effective Date.

14. Stockholders’ equity:

Stock options and warrants

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of a peer company’s stock and other factors estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term. This method is used because the Company does not currently have adequate historical option exercise or forfeiture information as a basis to determine expected term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term.

16. Commitments and contingencies:

Legal proceedings:

Bankruptcy proceedings:

On November 10, 2008, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). During the pendency of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company operated its business as a debtor-in-possession in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 11 and subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. On August 16, 2010, the Company filed its First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization. Subsequent to the filing of this report, on October 25, 2010, the Company filed the First Modification to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (collectively and as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”). On October 27, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court held a confirmation hearing and confirmed the Plan, and, on November 2, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Confirming Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Confirmation Order”), which approved and confirmed the Plan, as modified by the Confirmation Order. The Company emerged from Chapter 11 protection, and the Plan became effective, on November 17, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).

Notwithstanding the effectiveness of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction to adjudicate any remaining issues regarding, inter alia, the validity, amount, and method of payment of claims filed in connection with the Company’s Chapter 11 proceeding. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that there may be ongoing proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court to resolve any filed objections or disputes as to claims filed in the Chapter 11 proceeding.

Biovest litigation:

On August 4, 2008, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Biovest was served with a summons and complaint filed in California Superior Court on behalf of Clinstar LLC for breach of contract for non-payment of certain fees for clinical trial studies and pass-through expenses in the amount of $385,000. Biovest intends to seek the dismissal of this litigation and plan to defend these claims vigorously. Upon the filing of Biovest’s Chapter 11 petition on November 10, 2008, this litigation was automatically stayed pursuant to provisions of federal bankruptcy law. The Company anticipates that the claims involved in this litigation will be contested and resolved by the Bankruptcy Court as part of an objection to claim which the Company expects to file shortly.

Other proceedings:

Further, from time to time the Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business, some of which are covered by insurance.

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement:

In September 2001, Biovest entered into a definitive Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (“CRADA”) with the NCI for the development and ultimate commercialization of patient-specific vaccines for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s low-grade follicular lymphoma. The terms of the CRADA, as amended, included, among other things, a requirement to pay $0.5 million quarterly to NCI for expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials. Since the transfer to Biovest of the investigational new drug application for development of this vaccine, which occurred in April 2004, these payments to NCI have been reduced to a small fraction of this original obligation (approximately $0.2 million per year). On September 25, 2006, Biovest provided written notice to the NCI in accordance with the terms of the CRADA to terminate the CRADA at the end of the sixty day notice period. Under the terms of the CRADA, Biovest is obligated to continue to provide vaccine to the NCI at no charge for purposes of the NCI’s studies that are within the scope of the CRADA if the Company were to abandon work on the vaccine.

Employment agreements:

The Company has no employment agreements with officers and executives as of December 31, 2010.

Food and Drug Administration:

The FDA has extensive regulatory authority over biopharmaceutical products (drugs and biological products), manufacturing protocols and procedures and the facilities in which mammalian proteins will be manufactured. Any new bioproduct intended for use in humans (including, to a somewhat lesser degree, in vivo biodiagnostic products), is subject to rigorous testing requirements imposed by the FDA with respect to product efficacy and safety, possible toxicity and side effects. FDA approval for the use of new bioproducts (which can never be assured) requires several rounds of extensive preclinical testing and clinical investigations conducted by the sponsoring pharmaceutical company prior to sale and use of the product. At each stage, the approvals granted by the FDA include the manufacturing process utilized to produce the product. Accordingly, Biovest’s cell culture systems used for the production of therapeutic or biotherapeutic products are subject to significant regulation by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended (the “FD&C Act”).

Product liability:

The contract production services for therapeutic products offered exposes an inherent risk of liability as the proteins or other substances manufactured, at the request and to the specifications of customers, could foreseeably cause adverse effects. The Company obtains agreements from contract production customers indemnifying and defending the Company from any potential liability arising from such risk. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining such agreements in the future or that such indemnification agreements will adequately protect the Company against potential claims relating to such contract production services. The Company may also be exposed to potential product liability claims by users of its products. A successful partial or completely uninsured claim against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Royalty agreements:

 

   

Cancellation and Reduction of Royalty Interests: On the Effective Date, the Company, Biovest, and Laurus/Valens entered into several agreements (the “Laurus/Valens Royalty Termination Agreements”) terminating the following royalties pursuant to the Plan. As a result of the foregoing agreements, the aggregate royalty obligation on BiovaxID® and Biovest’s other biologic products was reduced from 35.25% to 6.30%. Additionally, the aggregate royalty obligation on the AutovaxID™ instrument was reduced from 3.0% to no obligation, including the elimination of the $7.5 million minimum royalty obligation.

Below is the detail of the royalty obligations following the Effective Date:

 

   

BiovaxID® and other biologic products

 

   

Accentia. The Royalty Agreement by and between Biovest and the Company, dated as of October 31, 2006, as amended, was terminated, which resulted in the cancellation of all royalty interest of the Company in Biovest’s biologic products. Under the Royalty Agreement, the Company had a 15.5% royalty interest in the gross revenue of Biovest’s biologic products including BiovaxID, as defined in the agreement after allowing for the 4.00% royalty assigned by the Company to Laurus/Valens pursuant to the four (4) separate Assignment of Rights Under Royalty Agreements, each dated as of June 18, 2008, by and among the Company, Biovest, Erato Corp., Valens U.S., Valens I, and PSource, as amended, modified or supplemented thereafter in accordance with their terms; and

   

Laurus/Valens. (i) The Royalty Agreement by and between Biovest and Valens II dated October 30, 2007; (ii) the Royalty Agreement by and between Biovest and Valens II dated December 10, 2007, as amended by a letter agreement dated May 30, 2008, and as further amended, modified or supplemented thereafter in accordance with their terms); (iii) the Royalty Agreement by and between Biovest and Valens U.S. dated October 30, 2007; (iv) the Royalty Agreement by and between Biovest and Valens U.S. dated December 10, 2007, and as amended, modified or supplemented thereafter in accordance with their terms), were all terminated.

AutovaxID™

 

   

The previously granted royalty equal to three percent (3%) of world-wide net sales (i.e., gross receipts from the world-wide sales of the automated cell and biologic production instrument known as AutovaxID manufactured by Biovest (the “AutovaxID Instruments”) less any rebates, returns and discounts) of AutovaxID Instruments for a period of five (5) years through May 31, 2012, granted to Laurus by Biovest and AutovaxID, Inc. in a letter agreement dated March 19, 2007, was terminated (including the guaranteed minimum royalty in the amount of $7.5 million remaining under such royalty).

Stanford University agreement:

In September 2004, Biovest entered into an agreement with Stanford University (“Stanford”) allowing worldwide rights to use two proprietary hybridoma cell lines that are used in the production of BiovaxID. Under the agreement with Stanford, Biovest is obligated to pay a yearly maintenance fee of $10,000 per year. The agreement also provides that Biovest will pay Stanford $0.1 million within one year following FDA approval of BiovaxID or five years following the agreement date (whichever occurs first), and following approval Biovest is required to pay Stanford a running royalty of the higher of $50.00 per patient or 0.05% of revenues received by Biovest for each BiovaxID patient treated using this cell line. This running royalty will be creditable against the yearly maintenance fee. Biovest’s agreement with Stanford obligates Biovest to diligently develop, manufacture, market, and sell BiovaxID and to provide progress reports to Stanford regarding these activities. Biovest can terminate this agreement at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice, and Stanford can terminate the agreement upon a breach of the agreement by Biovest that remains uncured for 30 days after written notice of the breach from Stanford.

Sublicense agreements with related parties

On February 27, 2007, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement (the “Accentia Sublicense”) with Revimmune, LLC under which the Company was granted the exclusive worldwide rights to Revimmune™. Revimmune, LLC’s manager is a director of the Company. The perpetual sublicense allows the Company to develop and market a patent pending treatment for autoimmune diseases. The Accentia Sublicense covers the potential treatment of all autoimmune diseases including but not limited to multiple sclerosis.

Other material terms and conditions of the Accentia Sublicense are as follows:

 

   

The Company assumed certain future development, milestone and minimum royalty obligations of Revimmune, LLC under its license with Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”). In connection with the Accentia Sublicense, the Company did not pay an upfront fee or reimbursement of expenses. The Company also agreed to pay to Revimmune, LLC a royalty of 4% on net sales, and in the event of a sublicense, to pay 10% of net proceeds received from any such sublicense to Revimmune, LLC.

 

   

Upon the approval of the sublicensed treatment in the U.S. for each autoimmune disease, the Company is required to issue to Revimmune, LLC vested warrants to purchase 0.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant which will be granted at the approval of the first sublicensed product will have an exercise price of $8 per share and any subsequent warrant to be issued will have an exercise price equal to the average of the volume weighted average closing prices of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the grant of such warrant.

 

   

The Company will be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the development, clinical trial(s), promotion, marketing, sales and commercialization of the licensed products.

 

   

The Company has assumed the cost and responsibility for patent prosecution as provided in the license between Revimmune, LLC and JHU to the extent that the claims actually and directly relate to sublicensed products.

On January 16, 2008, Biovest entered into a sublicense agreement (the “Biovest Sublicense”) with Revimmune, LLC under which Biovest was granted the exclusive worldwide rights to Revimmune™. The Biovest Sublicense allows Biovest to develop and market, a patent-pending pharmaceutical treatment in late-stage development for the treatment of and prevention of transplant rejection including rejection following a bone marrow transplant.

Other material terms and conditions of the Biovest Sublicense are as follows:

 

   

Biovest is obligated to pay to Revimmune, LLC a royalty of 6% on net sales, and in the event of a sublicense by Biovest, to pay 20% of sublicense consideration received. Biovest did not pay an upfront fee in connection with the Biovest Sublicense but upon the approval of the sublicensed treatment in the U.S. for each sublicensed indication, Biovest is required to issue to Revimmune, LLC vested warrants to purchase 2.0 million shares of Biovest’s common stock. Each such warrant which will be granted at the approval of each successive sublicensed product will have an exercise price of $1.10 per share or, at the discretion of Biovest, at a price equal to the fair market value of Biovest’s common stock on the date of the grant of such warrant.

 

   

Biovest assumed certain obligations under Revimmune, LLC’s license with JHU related to the sublicensed technology, including the payment of all royalty obligations due JHU for the sublicensed products which includes a 4% royalty on licensed products and services and a 20% royalty on sublicense consideration.

 

   

Biovest will be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the development, clinical trial(s), promotion, marketing, sales and commercialization of the sublicensed products.

17. Variable Interest Entities:

Revimmune, LLC

Although the Company does not have an equity interest in Revimmune, LLC, the Company has the controlling financial interest of Revimmune, LLC, because of the sublicense agreement between the parties and is considered the primary beneficiary, and therefore, the financial statements of Revimmune, LLC has been consolidated with the Company as of February 27, 2007 and through December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, Revimmune, LLC’s assets and equity were approximately $28,321.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

When you read this section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, it is important that you also read the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This section of this Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the matters discussed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and other risks and uncertainties discussed in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General

Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (Other OTC: “ABPI”) is a biotechnology company that is developing Revimmune™ as a comprehensive system of care for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Additionally, through our, majority-owned subsidiary, Biovest International, Inc., we are developing BiovaxID® as a therapeutic cancer vaccine for treatment of follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (“FL”) and mantle cell lymphoma (“MCL”). Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Analytica International, Inc., we conduct a health economics research and consulting business which we market to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, using our operating cash flow to support our corporate administration and product development activities.

Revimmune™ is being developed as a treatment for various autoimmune diseases. The approximately 80 known autoimmune diseases generally arise from an overactive immune response against substances and/or tissue normally present in the body. As a system of care, Revimmune consists of administering high, pulsed doses of an FDA-approved drug, cyclophosphamide, over a four-day interval as part of an integrated risk management system including a panel of preventive tests, monitoring and medications which are intended to minimize risks while seeking to maximize the clinical benefit.

Through a collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (“NCI”), our majority-owned subsidiary, Biovest International, Inc. (OTCQB: “BVTI”) (“Biovest”) has developed a patient-specific cancer vaccine, BiovaxID®, which has demonstrated statistically significant Phase 3 clinical benefit by prolonging disease-free survival in follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients treated with BiovaxID.

Additionally, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Analytica International, Inc. (“Analytica”), based in New York City, we conduct a global research and strategy consulting business that provides professional services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Since 1997, Analytica has expertly directed research studies and projects, including traditional health economic modeling projects, database studies, structured reviews, health technology assessments, reimbursement analyses, and value dossiers.

Corporate Overview

We were organized in 2002 to develop and commercialize biopharmaceutical products.

We commenced business in April 2002 with the acquisition of Analytica, a provider of analytical and consulting services to the biopharmaceuticals industry, including clinical trial services, pricing and market assessment and outcomes research. We acquired Analytica in a merger transaction for $3.7 million cash, $1.2 million of convertible promissory notes, and the issuance of 8.1 million shares of Series B preferred stock. Analytica, which was founded in 1997, has offices in New York and Germany.

In June 2003, we acquired an 81% interest of Biovest, for an investment of $20.0 million in Biovest pursuant to an investment agreement. Biovest is a biologics company that is developing our BiovaxID patient-specific vaccine for the treatment of FL. As of September 30, 2010, we owned of record approximately 75% of common stock of Biovest with the minority interest being held by approximately 400 shareholders of record. Biovest’s common stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Biovest therefore files periodic and other reports with the SEC.

Chapter 11 Reorganization

On November 10, 2008, we, along with all of our subsidiaries, filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Case No. 8:08-bk-17795-KRM (the “Chapter 11”). On August 16, 2010, we filed our First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, and, on October 25, 2010, we filed the First Modification to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (collectively and as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”). On October 27, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court held a Confirmation hearing and confirmed the Plan, and, on November 2, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Confirming Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Confirmation Order”), which approved and confirmed the Plan, as modified by the Confirmation Order. We emerged from Chapter 11 protection, and the Plan became effective, on November 17, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2009

Consolidated Results of Operations

Net Sales. Our net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $2.1 million compared to net sales of $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately 44%. Sales from both Biovest’s instrumentation segment and Biovest’s cell culture contract segment have decreased year over year. In September 2009, Biovest entered into a $1.5 million contract with the U.S. Department of Defense Naval Health Research Center (“NHRC”) to supply AutovaxID™ bioreactors to evaluate the instrument’s suitability to produce cell-culture based anti-viral vaccines. As a result of this contract, $0.3 million in revenue was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Analytica’s sales decreased 49% to $1.1 million compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year primarily due to the cessation of the clinical trial services business of our German subsidiary which accounted for $0.9 million of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Our grant revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 relating to the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Program was $0.3 million. There was no grant revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Research and Development Expenses. Our research and development costs were approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and research facility costs.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses were approximately $12.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010; an increase of $10.9 million over the three months ended December 31, 2009. This increase is primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation of $10.4 million. This increase is attributable to the expense related to options granted during our bankruptcy with vesting contingent upon our emergence from bankruptcy in addition to the market value of 1.5 million shares issued to executives on the Effective Date. The remainder of the increase is primarily due to an increase in professional fees in conjunction with our resumption of financial statement audits associated with our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Derivative loss. Derivative loss was approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a loss of $0.03 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This increase is primarily related to derivative instruments issued in conjunction with our various financings, and was offset by the decrease in our common stock price and Biovest’s common stock price, on which the derivative liabilities are based, during the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Gain on reorganization. The gain on reorganization was recognized on November 17, 2010, the Effective Date of our Joint Plan of Reorganization. The gain is primarily a result of settling claims with cash or stock at amounts less than the recorded value. Additional gain or loss may be recognized depending on the outcome of the final disposition of certain unresolved claims.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through public and private placements of our capital stock, debt financing, and financing transactions with our strategic partners. These transactions are described throughout the following pages.

We have historically had significant losses from operations. On December 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $327 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $38 million. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010, was approximately $3.8 million, of which $3.5 million was attributable to Biovest. On November 10, 2008, we, along with all of our subsidiaries, filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Case No. 8:08-bk-17795-KRM (the “Chapter 11”). On August 16, 2010, we filed our First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, and, on October 25, 2010, we filed the First Modification to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (collectively and as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”). On October 27, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court held a confirmation hearing and confirmed the Plan, and, on November 2, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Confirming Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Confirmation Order”), which approved and confirmed the Plan, as modified by the Confirmation Order. We emerged from Chapter 11 protection, and the Plan became effective, on November 17, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). We intend to attempt to meet our cash requirements through proceeds from our cell culture and instrument manufacturing activities from our Biovest subsidiary, income from our Analytica subsidiary, and the use of cash on hand, trade-vendor credit, and short-term borrowings. Additionally, we may seek public or private equity investment, short or long term debt financing or strategic relationships such as investments or licenses. Our ability to continue present operations and to continue our product development efforts are dependent upon our ability to successfully execute the obligations under our Plan and to obtain significant external funding, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The need for funds is expected to grow as we continue our efforts to commercialize Revimmune™, BiovaxID®, and AutovaxID™.

Capital Raised through Equity Issuances

Effective as of November 17, 2010, we executed and delivered warrants (the “Class 13 Plan Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,072,840 shares of our common stock. The Class 13 Plan Warrants (a) have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and a term of three (3) years from November 17, 2010, (b) can only be exercised for cash (no cashless exercise), and (c) are subject to certain call provisions set forth in the Class 13 Plan Warrants and the Plan.

June 2008 Debentures and Warrants (Class 6)

Effective as of November 17, 2010, we issued in satisfaction of the 2008 Secured Debentures outstanding prior to the Effective Date, new debentures (the “Class 6 Plan Debentures”) in the original principal amount of $9,730,459. The Class 6 Plan Debentures mature on November 17, 2013, and the outstanding principal together with all accrued but unpaid interest is due in cash on such date.

The following are the material terms and conditions of the Class 6 Plan Debentures:

 

   

interest accrues and is payable on the outstanding principal under the Class 6 Plan Debentures at a fixed rate of eight and one-half percent (8.50%) per annum and each of the Class 6 Plan Debentures is secured by a lien on certain of our assets;

 

   

at the option of a holder of Class 6 Plan Debentures, such holder may elect to convert all of the then outstanding balance of its Class 6 Plan Debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to $1.10 per share of our common stock; and

 

   

commencing on May 15, 2011, if the trading price of our common stock (as determined in accordance with the Class 6 Plan Debentures and the Plan) is at least 150% of $1.10 per share for any ten (10) consecutive trading days, at our option, we may convert the then outstanding balance of all of the Class 6 Plan Debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to $1.10 per share of our common stock.

On November 17, 2010, we executed and delivered warrants (the “Class 6 Plan Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,979,496 shares of our common stock. The Class 6 Plan Warrants (a) have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and an expiration date of November 17, 2013, (b) can only be exercised for cash (no cashless exercise), and (c) are subject to certain call provisions set forth in the Class 6 Plan Warrants and the Plan.

During the period ended December 31, 2010, $2,772,548 in Class 6 Plan Debentures were converted into our common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.10 per share, resulting in the issuance of 2,520,496 shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate total outstanding principal amount of the Class 6 Plan Debentures was $6,957,912.

Accentia Class 10 Plan Distributions

Effective as of November 17, 2010, we became obligated to pay approximately $2.4 million in cash on March 17, 2014, to unsecured creditors holding Class 10 claims under the Plan (the “Class 10 Plan Distributions”).

The Class 10 Plan Distributions mature on March 17, 2014, and the outstanding principal together with all accrued but unpaid interest is due on such date. Interest accrues and is payable on the outstanding principal amount under the Class 10 Plan Distributions at a fixed rate of five percent (5%) per annum.

Unsecured creditors holding an aggregate total of $3,287,695 in Class 10 claims elected to convert those Class 10 claims into our common stock valued at the average market price for our common stock over the ten trading days preceding the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, we issued 2,417,431 shares of our common stock to these Class 10 unsecured creditors at a conversion price equal to $1.36 per share.

Accentia promissory demand notes:

Effective as of November 17, 2010, under Biovest’s Plan, our entire pre-petition claim due from Biovest, was converted into shares of Biovest common stock at a conversion rate equal to $0.75 per share, resulting in the issuance of 17,925,720 shares of Biovest common stock.

Biovest Class 8 Option A Obligations

Effective as of November 17, 2010, under Biovest’s Plan, Biovest became obligated to pay to the Biovest unsecured creditors approximately $2.7 million in cash together with interest at five percent (5%) per annum to be paid in one installment on March 27, 2014 (the “Option A Obligations”). These unsecured claims include, but is not limited to the Pulaski Bank notes, the Southwest Bank note, and the guarantor indemnities. As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Option A Obligations as issued on the Effective Date has remained unchanged.

Biovest Class 8 Option C Promissory Note

Effective as of November 17, 2010, under Biovest’s Plan, Biovest became obligated to certain of its unsecured creditors in the principal amount of approximately $2.0 million (the “Option C Notes”). The holders received an amount equal to 100% of such claimant’s allowed Class 8 unsecured claim (including post-petition interest under Biovest’s Plan at a rate of three percent (3%) per annum) in combination of debt and equity resulting in the issuance of a total of $1.8 million in new notes, as well as, 0.2 million shares of Biovest common stock, using an effective conversion rate equal to $1.66 per share. The Option C Notes bear interest at seven percent (7%) and are convertible into shares of Biovest common stock in seven quarterly installments beginning on February 17, 2011 as follows:

 

   

Provided that the average of the volume weighted average prices for Biovest’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding each quarterly conversion date (“Ten Day VWAP”) is at least $1.00 per share, one-eighth (1/8th) of the Option C Notes plus accrued interest will be automatically converted into shares of Biovest common stock at a conversion rate equal to the Ten Day VWAP.

 

   

If the Ten Day VWAP is less than $1.00 per share, the notes will not automatically convert into shares of Biovest common stock, but will instead become payable at maturity (August 17, 2012), unless the Option C Notes holder elects to convert one-eighth (1/8th) of the Option C Notes plus accrued interest into shares of Biovest common stock at a conversion rate equal to $1.00 per share.

 

   

Any portion of the Option C Notes and any Option C interest that are outstanding at the maturity (August 17, 2012) will be due and payable in full, at the election of Biovest, in either cash or in shares of Biovest common stock at a conversion rate equal to the Ten Day VWAP.

 

   

If, at any time prior to August 17, 2012, the Ten Day VWAP is at least $1.50 per share, an Option C Note Holder, at its option, may convert any or all of the Option C Notes, plus the then accrued and unpaid interest into shares of Biovest common stock at a conversion rate equal to the Ten Day VWAP used for the initial conversion on the Effective Date ($1.66 per share).

 

   

If, at any time prior to August 17, 2012, the volume weighted average price for Biovest common stock is at least $1.88 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days, Biovest, at its option, may require the conversion of the then aggregate outstanding balance of the Option C Notes plus the then accrued and unpaid Option C interest at a conversion rate equal to the Ten Day VWAP used for the initial conversion on the Effective Date ($1.66 per share).

April 2006 NMTC Transaction

Biovest and certain of its affiliates entered into an agreement in July 2010 (the “Worcester Restructuring Agreement”) with Telesis CDE Corporation and Telesis CDE Two, LLC (collectively, “Telesis”), contingent upon submission to and approval by the Bankruptcy Court. The Worcester Restructuring Agreement effectively terminates all agreements and obligations of all parties pursuant to the April 2006 NMTC Transaction, in consideration of retention by Telesis of an unsecured claim in Biovest’s Chapter 11 proceeding in the amount of $0.3 million along with a settlement payment in the amount of $85,000 to defray certain legal and administrative expenses incurred by Telesis. The Worcester Restructuring Agreement and the compromise of the outstanding claims against Biovest and its affiliates in connection with the April 2006 NMTC Transaction was approved by the Bankruptcy Court in an Order entered on December 1, 2010. As a result, the Company’s Guaranty, Biovest’s Guaranty, and all of Biovest’s subsidiary Guaranties from affiliates and third parties and all other obligations of all parties to Transaction I were terminated. Biovest has ceased all activities under the April 2006 NMTC Transaction and Biovest has liquidated the subsidiaries created specifically to conduct activities under the April 2006 NMTC transaction.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and our acting chief financial officer (principal financial officer), we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and our acting chief financial officer (principal financial officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and our acting chief financial officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Bankruptcy proceedings:

On November 10, 2008, we, along with our subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). During the pendency of the Chapter 11 proceedings, we operated our business as a debtor-in-possession in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 11 and subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. On August 16, 2010, we filed our First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, and, on October 25, 2010, we filed the First Modification to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (collectively and as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”). On October 27, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court held a confirmation hearing and confirmed the Plan, and, on November 2, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Confirming Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Confirmation Order”), which approved and confirmed the Plan, as modified by the Confirmation Order. We emerged from Chapter 11 protection, and the Plan became effective, on November 17, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).

Notwithstanding the effectiveness of our Plan, the Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction to adjudicate any remaining issues regarding, inter alia, the validity, amount, and method of payment of claims filed in connection with our Chapter 11 proceeding. Accordingly, we anticipate that there may be ongoing proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court to resolve any filed objections or disputes as to claims filed in the Chapter 11 proceeding.

Biovest litigation:

On August 4, 2008, Biovest was served with a summons and complaint filed in California Superior Court on behalf of Clinstar LLC for breach of contract for non-payment of certain fees for clinical trial studies and pass-through expenses in the amount of $385,000. Biovest intends to seek the dismissal of this litigation and plans to defend these claims vigorously. Upon the filing of Biovest’s Chapter 11 petition on November 10, 2008, this litigation was automatically stayed pursuant to provisions of federal bankruptcy law. Biovest anticipates that the claims involved in this litigation will be contested and resolved by the Bankruptcy Court as part of an objection to claim which Biovest expects to file shortly.

Other proceedings:

Further, from time to time we are subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business, some of which are covered by insurance.
