BIOJECT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The financial information included herein for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The financial information as of December 31, 2010 is derived from Bioject Medical Technologies Inc.’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Bioject’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Due to our lack of additional committed capital, recurring losses, negative cash flows and accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have historically suffered recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $123.9 million with total shareholders’ equity of $0.3 million. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, assuming that we will continue as a going concern.

At March 31, 2011, we had cash of $0.5 million and a working capital deficit of $0.2 million. We continue to monitor our cash and have previously taken measures to reduce our expenditure rate and delay capital and maintenance expenditures. However, if we do not enter into one or more licensing development and supply agreements with sufficient up-front payments or increase sales to current customers or markets, we may need to do one or more of the following to provide additional resources during 2011:

 

   

secure additional debt financing;

 

   

secure additional equity financing;

 

   

secure a strategic partner; or

 

   

reduce our operating expenditures.

While management continues to work on a number of strategic options and alternatives to keep Bioject operating, there are no assurances that we will be successful. Financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional resources, our business could be adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.

Note 2. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined in a manner that approximates the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. Any write-down of inventory to the lower of cost or market at the close of a fiscal period creates a new cost basis that subsequently would not be marked up based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances.

Inventories consisted of the following:

 

     March 31,
2011
     December 31,
2010
 

Raw materials and components

   $ 501,429       $ 348,683   

Work in process

     56,419         74,385   

Finished goods

     340,528         203,390   
                 
   $ 898,376       $ 626,458

Total

     21,152,362         19,258,657   
                 

Note 4. Product Sales and Concentrations

Product sales to customers accounting for 10% or more of our product sales were as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,  
     2011     2010  

Merial

     73     27

Ferring

     17     29

Serono

     0     33

At March 31, 2011, accounts receivable from Serono, Ferring and Merial represented 9%, 21% and 56%, respectively, of the accounts receivable balance. In addition, one other customer accounted for 11% of the March 31, 2011 accounts receivable balance. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011.

Note 5. Other Accrued Liabilities

Included in other accrued liabilities was $0.4 million at both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 related to credits for Serono and $0.3 million at March 31, 2011 related to customer deposits for Merial.

Note 6. Facility Lease Amendment

In March 2011, we entered into an agreement with the landlord of our Tualatin, Oregon facility, which provides for the repayment of deferred rent at the rate of $2,000 per month for the period April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012 and $3,742 per month for the period April 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014.

Note 7. Recent Accounting Guidance

ASU 2010-17

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, “Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method,” which provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. Research or development arrangements frequently include payment provisions whereby a portion or all of the consideration is contingent upon milestone events such as successful completion of phases in a drug study or achieving a specific result from the research or development efforts. An entity often recognizes these milestone payments as revenue in their entirety upon achieving the related milestone, commonly referred to as the milestone method. We adopted the amendments in ASU 2010-17 effective January 1, 2011 on a prospective basis. Our previous practices are consistent with the guidance in ASU 2010-17 and, in future research and development transactions, we will analyze the impact and, when the milestones are substantive, we will recognize them according to ASU 2010-17. Accordingly, the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-17 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 8. Subsequent Event

In April 2011, we eliminated the 10% pay reductions that were implemented in February 2009 for all non-executive employees. Executive officers continue to maintain a voluntary 20% pay reduction and their salaries did not change at this time.

 

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements concerning cash requirements. Such forward looking statements (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect,” “is expected,” “anticipates” or “does not anticipate,” “plans,” “estimates” or “intends,” or stating that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation, the risk that we may not enter into anticipated licensing, development or supply agreements, the risk that we may not achieve the milestones necessary for us to receive payments under our future development agreements, the risk that our products will not be accepted by the market, the risk that we will be unable to meet production demands as a result of supply or other factors, the risk that we will be unable to obtain needed debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms, or at all, risks related to the general economic environment and uncertainties in the financial markets, uncertainties related to our dependence on the continued performance of strategic partners and technology and uncertainties related to the time required for us or our strategic partners to complete research and development and obtain necessary clinical data and government clearances.

Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements if conditions or management’s estimates or opinions should change, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. See also Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

OVERVIEW

We are an innovative developer and manufacturer of needle-free injection therapy systems (“NFITS”). Our NFITS work by forcing liquid medication at high speed through a tiny orifice held against the skin. This creates a fine stream of high-pressure medication that penetrates the skin, depositing the medication in the tissue beneath. By bundling customized needle-free delivery systems with partners’ injectable medications and vaccines, we can enhance demand for these products in the healthcare provider and end-user markets.

Our long-term goal is to become the leading supplier of needle-free injection systems to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. We have been focusing our business development efforts on new and existing licensing and supply agreements with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as research agreements that could lead to long-term agreements. Our pipeline of prospective new partnerships remains active. We are also actively pursuing additional opportunities, both domestically and overseas, as we expand our current product line. However, historically, finalizing agreements has been a long process and, given the current difficult global economic conditions, we believe that process will take even longer.

In the first quarter of 2011, Serono extended its contract, which expired under its terms in December 2010, with a one-time fixed extension of the agreement until December 31, 2011.

Table of Contents

Also, in February 2011, we entered into a collaboration with PATH and the World Health Organization (“WHO”) to support efforts to advance clinical research of intradermal delivery of vaccines in developing-country immunization programs by providing our Intradermal Pen (the “ID Pen”). The ID Pen is a unique disposable-syringe jet injector for intradermal delivery. PATH and WHO will each provide funding for the production of ID Pen devices for further evaluation. A portion of this funding will be recorded as a component of licensing and technology fees and the other portion will be used for direct funding of equipment.

We do not anticipate reaching profitability in 2011.

GOING CONCERN AND CASH REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NEXT TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD

Our limited amount of additional committed capital, recurring losses, negative cash flows and accumulated deficit are factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Revenue

Product sales increased $530,000, or 48.6%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to an increase in sales to Merial from $293,000 to $1.2 million, or 306%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase in sales to Merial was primarily due to increased orders in anticipation of the launch by Merial of the new spring powered device in the second quarter of 2011.

These increases were partially offset by:

 

   

a decrease in sales to Serono from $360,000 to $0 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010; and

 

   

a decrease in sales to Ferring Pharmaceuticals from $315,000 to $282,000, or 11%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 due to timing of orders.

We currently have supply agreements or commitments with Merial, Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc., the U.S. federal government and Serono. Our agreement with Serono expired in December 2010, however, in the first quarter of 2011, it was extended with a one-time fixed extension of the agreement until December 31, 2011.

We anticipate sales to Serono in the second quarter of 2011 pursuant to its extended supply agreement.

License and technology fees recognized in accordance with our agreements were as follows:

We currently have an active licensing and development agreement, which includes commercial product supply provisions, with Merial. In addition, we entered into a collaboration agreement with PATH and WHO, which includes development fees and direct funding of equipment.

Manufacturing Expense

Manufacturing expense is made up of the cost of products sold and manufacturing overhead expense related to excess manufacturing capacity.

Manufacturing expense increased $244,000, or 30.1%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to increased product sales as discussed above. However, manufacturing expense decreased as a percentage of product sales to 64.9% in the first quarter of 2011 from 74.1% in the first quarter of 2010 due to a larger base over which to absorb costs.

Research and Development

Research and development costs include labor, materials and costs associated with clinical studies or incurred in the research and development of new products and modifications to existing products.

Research and development expense decreased $62,000, or 16.7%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to the timing of expenses related to on-going projects.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative costs include labor, travel, outside services and overhead incurred in our sales, marketing, management and administrative support functions.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $20,000, or 3.9%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to increased selling expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since our inception in 1985, we have financed our operations, working capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from private placements of securities, the exercise of warrants, loans, proceeds received from our initial public offering in 1986, proceeds received from a public offering of common stock in 1993, licensing and technology revenues and revenues from sales of products.

Total cash at March 31, 2011 was $0.5 million compared to $0.2 million at December 31, 2010. We had a working capital deficit of $0.2 million at March 31, 2011 compared to a working capital deficit of $0.1 million at December 31, 2010. Given our current cash balance, if no new licensing, development or supply agreements with significant up-front payments are entered into or there is no significant increase in product sales in 2011, we may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing during 2011 in order to continue operations.

The increase in cash during the first quarter of 2011 resulted from $0.3 million of cash provided by operating activities, offset by $21,000 used for capital expenditures and patent activity.

Net accounts receivable decreased $174,000 to $0.7 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $0.8 million at December 31, 2010. Receivables from four different customers accounted for a total of 97% of our accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2011, with individual accounts totaling 56%, 21%, 11% and 9%, respectively. Of the accounts receivable due at March 31, 2011, $0.6 million was collected prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q. Historically, we have not had collection problems related to our accounts receivable.

Inventories increased $272,000 to $0.9 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $0.6 million at December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of increased purchases to support the level of forecasted sales for the second quarter of 2011.

Capital expenditures totaled $2,000 in the first quarter of 2011. We anticipate spending up to a total of $50,000 or more in 2011 for production molds for current research and development projects.

Accrued payroll decreased $43,000 to $182,000 at March 31, 2011 compared to $225,000 at December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of the timing of payments.

Other accrued liabilities increased $223,000 to $0.7 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $0.5 million at December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of increased customer deposits. Customer deposits and credits totaled $0.7 million at March 31, 2011 and are being, or could be, utilized at any time against current invoices or require repayment.

Deferred revenue of $1.5 million at March 31, 2011 represented amounts received from Merial, Serono and WHO.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-Q, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business. Our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. Please note that additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business and operations.

We may need to obtain funding in 2011 to continue operations. Sufficient funding may not be available to us and, if available, may be subject to conditions. The unavailability of funding could adversely affect our business and cause us to cease operations. At March 31, 2011, we had cash of $0.5 million and a working capital deficit of $0.2 million. We continue to monitor our cash and have previously taken measures to reduce our expenditure rate and delay capital and maintenance expenditures. However, if we do not enter into one or more licensing development and supply agreements with sufficient up-front payments or increase sales to current customers or markets, we may need to do one or more of the following to provide additional resources during 2011:

 

   

secure additional debt financing;

 

   

secure additional equity financing;

 

   

secure a strategic partner; or

 

   

reduce our operating expenditures.

Our contract with Serono expired in December 2010 and, in early 2011, Serono provided last-buy purchases, which we will fulfill throughout 2011. While management continues to work on a number of strategic options and alternatives to keep Bioject operating, there are no assurances that we will be successful. Financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional resources, our business could be adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.

Table of Contents

We have a history of losses and may never be profitable. Since our formation in 1985, we have incurred significant annual operating losses and negative cash flow. At March 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $123.9 million and a net working capital deficit of $0.2 million. Due to our lack of additional committed capital, recurring losses, negative cash flows and accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We may never be profitable, which could have a negative effect on our stock price, our business and our ability to continue operations. Our revenues are derived from licensing and technology fees and from product sales. We sell our products to strategic partners, who market our products under their brand name, and to end-users such as public health clinics for vaccinations and the military for mass immunizations. We have not attained profitability at these sales levels. We may never be able to generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. Now, and in the future, we will require substantial additional financing. Such financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Any future equity financing could result in significant dilution to shareholders.

Our preferred stock has a liquidation preference and, as a result, if we are sold or liquidated, holders of common stock could receive nothing. We have outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the preferred stock, if we are sold or liquidated, the holders of these shares would be entitled to receive approximately $9.7 million, at March 31, 2011, prior to any payments to the holders of common stock. Accordingly, if we are sold or liquidated, holders of common stock could receive nothing.

If our products are not accepted by the market, our business could fail. Our success will depend on market acceptance of our needle-free injection drug delivery systems and on market acceptance of other products under development. If our products do not achieve market acceptance, our business could fail. Currently, the dominant technology used for intramuscular and subcutaneous injections is the hollow-needle syringe, which has a cost per injection that is significantly lower than that of our products. Our products may be unable to compete successfully with needle-syringes.

We may be unable to enter into additional strategic corporate licensing and distribution agreements or maintain existing agreements, which could cause our business to suffer. A key component of our sales and marketing strategy is to enter into licensing and supply arrangements with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for whose products our technology provides either increased medical effectiveness or a higher degree of market acceptance. Historically, these agreements have taken a long time to finalize, and the current economic environment may extend that period even further. If we cannot enter into these agreements on terms favorable to us or at all, our business may suffer.

In prior years, several agreements have been canceled by our partners prior to completion. These agreements were canceled for various reasons, including, but not limited to, costs related to obtaining regulatory approval, unsuccessful pre-clinical studies, changes in drug development and changes in business development strategies. These agreements resulted in significant short-term revenue. However, none of these agreements developed into the long-term revenue stream anticipated by our strategic partnering strategy.

We may be unable to enter into future licensing or supply agreements with major pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Even if we enter into these agreements, they may not result in sustainable long-term revenues which, when combined with revenues from product sales, could be sufficient for us to operate profitably.

We expanded our strategy to focus on military and public health sales. This strategy is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and, as a result, we may not be successful in implementing this strategy. We recently expanded the number of military and public health targets with whom we are in discussions about utilizing our needle-free injection technology devices. However, this expanded strategy has only resulted in a few new accounts. Successfully implementing this strategic focus is subject to a number of risks, including the risk that our products will not be accepted by these targets. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expanded strategy will be successful, and the failure of our expanded strategy could negatively affect our business.

Our new drug+device strategy is currently suspended and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and, as a result, we may not be successful in implementing the strategy. In 2007, we announced a new component of our business strategy pursuant to which we plan to attempt to secure rights to injectable medications to sell in combination with our products under our own brand. Successfully implementing this strategy is subject to a number of risks. We may not be successful in securing rights to medications we are interested in combining with our products. Even if successful in securing rights, these products would be subject to FDA approval, and it will be our responsibility to obtain such approval. This approval may not be obtained or may take a significant period of time to obtain. In addition, there is a risk that our device will not work for the new drug indication. We may also need to raise additional funds to finance this new strategy, and there is no assurance such funds will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. We do not have experience manufacturing or marketing to end-users drug+device combinations. In addition, these new products may not be accepted by the market. Further, due to our current liquidity situation, we have suspended implementation of this strategy until such time as our cash position improves significantly. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our new strategy will be successfully implemented, and failure to successfully implement the strategy could negatively affect our business.

We have amended our lease agreement for rent deferrals and, if we default under our lease agreement in the future, our landlord could terminate our lease, which would adversely affect our business. In November 2008, we negotiated a $15,000 rent deferral for each of November 2008, December 2008 and January 2009 and, in March 2009, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which we deferred $12,000 of rent for each of February, March and April 2009. On July 8, 2009, we entered into another amendment to our lease agreement, effective June 30, 2009, pursuant to which we deferred $12,000 of rent for each of May and June 2009. In March 2011, we entered into an agreement with the landlord, which provides for the repayment of deferred rent at the rate of $2,000 per month for the period April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012 and $3,742 per month for the period April 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014. If we are unable to make the payments under the lease when due, including the deferred rent payments, or are unable to negotiate additional rent deferrals, our landlord could declare an event of default and terminate our lease, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We must retain qualified personnel in a competitive marketplace, or we may not be able to grow our business. Our success depends upon the personal efforts and abilities of our senior management. We may be unable to retain our key employees, namely our management team, or to attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees. We have implemented workforce and extended salary reductions, and there remains substantial competition for highly skilled employees. Our key employees are not bound by agreements that could prevent them from terminating their employment at any time. If we fail to attract and retain key employees, our business could be harmed.

We depend on a few significant customers. Our top two customers, Merial and Ferring, accounted for 90% of our total product sales in the first quarter of 2011. We did not have any sales to Serono during the first quarter of 2011, but we anticipate sales to Serono beginning in the second quarter of 2011 pursuant to its extended supply agreement, which expires December 31, 2011. Our agreement with Merial contains provisions allowing Merial to remove its production equipment and utilize a different third-party assembler if we fail to meet the production terms of the agreement. In addition, if any of these customers delays, reduces or ceases ordering our products or services, whether as a result of the expiration of a supply agreement or otherwise, our business would be negatively affected.

Our common stock is listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, which may impair the price at which our common stock trades, the liquidity of the market for our common stock and our ability to obtain additional funding. The Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board is an electronic quotation service maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Our stock, like most stock listed on this service, has very limited trading volume. As a consequence, the ability of a stockholder to sell our common stock, the price obtainable for our common stock and our ability to obtain additional funding may be materially impaired.

We have limited manufacturing experience, and may be unable to produce our products at the unit costs necessary for the products to be competitive in the market, which could cause our financial condition to suffer. We have limited experience manufacturing our products in commercially viable quantities. We have increased our production capacity for the Biojector® 2000 system, the ZetaJet™ and the Vitajet® product lines through automation of, and changes in, production methods, in order to achieve savings through higher volumes of production. If we are unable to achieve these savings, our results of operations and financial condition could suffer. The current cost per injection of the Biojector® 2000 system, ZetaJet™ and Vitajet® product lines is substantially higher than that of traditional needle-syringes, our principal competition. In order to reduce costs, a key element of our business strategy has been to reduce the overall manufacturing cost through automating production and packaging. There can be no assurance that we will achieve sales and manufacturing volumes necessary to realize cost savings from volume production at levels necessary to result in significant unit manufacturing cost reductions. Failure to do so will continue to make competing with needle-syringes on the basis of cost very difficult and will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We may be unable to successfully manufacture devices at a unit cost that will allow the product to be sold profitably. Failure to do so would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to extensive government regulation and must continue to comply with these regulations or our business could suffer. Our products and manufacturing operations are subject to extensive government regulation in both the U.S. and abroad. If we cannot comply with these regulations, we may be unable to distribute our products, which could cause our business to suffer or fail. In the U.S., the development, manufacture, marketing and promotion of medical devices are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under the FFDCA. The FFDCA provides that new pre-market notifications under Section 510(k) of the FFDCA are required to be filed when, among other things, there is a major change or modification in the intended use of a device or a change or modification to a legally marketed device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. A device manufacturer is expected to make the initial determination as to whether the change to its device or its intended use is of a kind that would necessitate the filing of a new 510(k) notification. The FDA may not concur with our determination that our current and future products can be qualified by means of a 510(k) submission or that a new 510(k) notification is not required for such products.

Future changes to manufacturing procedures could require that we file a new 510(k) notification. Also, future products, product enhancements or changes, or changes in product use may require clearance under Section 510(k), or they may require FDA pre-market approval (“PMA”) or other regulatory clearances. PMAs and regulatory clearances other than 510(k) clearance generally involve more extensive prefiling testing than a 510(k) clearance and a longer FDA review process. It is current FDA policy that pre-filled syringes are evaluated by the FDA by submitting a Request for Designation (“RFD”) to the Office of Combination Products (“OCP”). The pharmaceutical or biotechnology company with which we partner is responsible for the submission to the OCP, although we will have this responsibility with respect to drug+device combinations produced by us under our new strategy. A pre-filled syringe meets the FDA’s definition of a combination product, or a product comprised of two or more regulated components, i.e. drug/device. The OCP will assign a center with primary jurisdiction for a combination product (CDER, CDRH) to ensure the timely and effective pre-market review of the product. Depending on the circumstances, drug and combination drug/device regulation can be much more extensive and time consuming than device regulation.

FDA regulatory processes are time consuming and expensive. Product applications submitted by us may not be cleared or approved by the FDA. In addition, our products must be manufactured in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices, as specified in regulations under the FFDCA. The FDA has broad discretion in enforcing the FFDCA, and noncompliance with the FFDCA could result in a variety of regulatory actions ranging from product detentions, device alerts or field corrections, to mandatory recalls, seizures, injunctive actions and civil or criminal penalties. If we were to have a recall of our product in the field, it could negatively affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Our facility was subject to a routine surveillance audit by the FDA in September 2010. No adverse findings were noted during the audit.

Sales of our products, including the Iject® pre-filled syringe, are dependent on regulatory approval being obtained for the product’s use with a given drug to treat a specific condition. It is the responsibility of the strategic partner producing the drug to obtain this approval. The failure of a partner to obtain regulatory approval or to comply with government regulations after approval has been received could harm our business. In order for a strategic partner to sell our devices for delivery of its drug to treat a specific condition, the partner must first obtain government approval. This process is subject to extensive government regulation both in the U.S. and abroad. As a result, sales of our products, including the Iject® product, to any strategic partner are dependent on that partner’s ability to obtain regulatory approval. Accordingly, delay or failure of a partner to obtain that approval could cause our financial results to suffer. In addition, if a partner fails to comply with governmental regulations after initial regulatory approval has been obtained, sales to that partner may cease, which could cause our financial results to suffer.

If we cannot meet international product standards, we will be unable to distribute our products outside of the United States, which could cause our business to suffer. Distribution of our products in countries other than the U.S. may be subject to regulation in those countries. Failure to satisfy these regulations would impact our ability to sell our products in these countries and could cause our business to suffer.

We have received the following certifications from Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) that our products and quality systems meet the applicable requirements, which allows us to label our products with the CE Mark and sell them in the European Community and non-European Community countries.

If we are unable to continue to meet the standards of ISO 13485 or CE Mark certification, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause our financial results to suffer.

If the healthcare industry limits coverage or reimbursement levels, the acceptance of our products could suffer. The price of our products exceeds the price of needle-syringe combinations and, if coverage or reimbursement levels are reduced, market acceptance of our products could be harmed. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and operations of healthcare facilities. During the past several years, the healthcare industry has been subject to increased government regulation of reimbursement rates and capital expenditures. Among other things, third party payers are increasingly attempting to contain or reduce healthcare costs by limiting both coverage and levels of reimbursement for healthcare products and procedures. Because the price of the Biojector® 2000 system exceeds the price of a needle-syringe, cost control policies of third party payers, including government agencies, may adversely affect acceptance and use of the Biojector® 2000 system. In addition, on March 23, 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law and, commencing in 2013, the legislation imposes a 2.3% excise tax on sales of medical devices, which may negatively affect our business.

We depend on outside suppliers for manufacturing. Our current manufacturing processes for the Biojector® 2000 and ZetaJet™ jet injector and disposable syringes as well as manufacturing processes to produce our modified Vitajet® consist primarily of assembling component parts supplied by outside suppliers. Some of these components are currently obtained from single sources, with some components requiring significant production lead times. We are experiencing delays in the delivery of certain components. These current delays, or any delays or interruptions we may experience in the future, including suppliers suspending or ceasing operations, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Manufacturing difficulties could delay product shipments to customers. Delays in receiving approval for the manufacture of customers’ products or delays related to internal manufacturing difficulties could delay the timing of shipments to customers and negatively affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

If we are unable to manage our growth, our results of operations could suffer. If our products achieve market acceptance or if we are successful in entering into significant product supply agreements with major pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies or vaccine companies, we expect to experience rapid growth. Such growth would require expanded customer service and support, increased personnel, expanded operational and financial systems, and implementing new and expanded control procedures. We may be unable to attract sufficient qualified personnel or successfully manage expanded operations. As we expand, we may periodically experience constraints that would adversely affect our ability to satisfy customer demand in a timely fashion. Failure to manage growth effectively could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to compete in the medical equipment field, which could cause our business to fail. The medical equipment market is highly competitive and competition is likely to intensify. If we cannot compete, our business will fail. Our products compete primarily with traditional needle-syringes, “safety syringes,” other needle-free injectors and also with other alternative drug delivery systems. In addition, manufacturers of needle-syringes, as well as other companies, may develop new products that compete directly or indirectly with our products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in this market. A variety of new technologies (for example, micro needles on dissolvable patches and transdermal patches) are being developed as alternatives to injection for drug delivery. While we do not believe such technologies have significantly affected the use of injection for drug delivery to date, there can be no assurance that they will not do so in the future. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories as well as substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and customer support resources.

We are dependent on a single technology, and if it cannot compete or find market acceptance, our business will suffer. Our strategy has been to focus our development and marketing efforts on our needle-free injection technology. Focus on this single technology leaves us vulnerable to competing products and alternative drug delivery systems. If our technology cannot find market acceptance or cannot compete against other technologies, business will suffer. We perceive that healthcare providers’ desire to minimize the use of the traditional needle-syringe has stimulated development of a variety of alternative drug delivery systems such as “safety syringes,” jet injection systems, nasal delivery systems and transdermal diffusion “patches.” In addition, pharmaceutical companies frequently attempt to develop drugs for oral delivery instead of injection. While we believe that for the foreseeable future there will continue to be a significant need for injections, alternative drug delivery methods may be developed which are preferable to injection.

We rely on patents and proprietary rights to protect our technology. We rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and procedures and patents to protect our proprietary technologies. We have been granted a number of patents in the U.S. and several patents in other countries covering certain technology embodied in our current jet injection system and certain manufacturing processes. Additional patent applications are pending in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. The claims contained in any patent application may not be allowed, or any patent or our patents collectively may not provide adequate protection for our products and technology. In the absence of patent protection, we may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy our products or gain access to our trade secrets and know-how. In addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to this technology to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. We believe we have independently developed our technology and attempt to ensure that our products do not infringe the proprietary rights of others.

Table of Contents

If a dispute arises concerning our technology, we could become involved in litigation that might involve substantial cost. Such litigation might also divert substantial management attention away from our operations and into efforts to enforce our patents, protect our trade secrets or know-how or determine the scope of the proprietary rights of others. If a proceeding resulted in adverse findings, we could be subject to significant liabilities to third parties. We might also be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to manufacture or sell our products. Our ability to manufacture and sell our products might also be adversely affected by other unforeseen factors relating to the proceeding or its outcome.

If our products fail or cause harm, we could be subject to substantial product liability, which could cause our business to suffer. Producers of medical devices may face substantial liability for damages in the event of product failure or if it is alleged the product caused harm. We currently maintain product liability insurance and, to date, have experienced one product liability claim. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not be subject to a number of such claims, that our product liability insurance would cover such claims, or that adequate insurance will continue to be available to us on acceptable terms in the future. Our business could be adversely affected by product liability claims or by the cost of insuring against such claims.

There are a large number of shares eligible for sale into the public market, which may reduce the price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market, or the perception that such sales could occur. We have a large number of shares of common stock outstanding and available for resale. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. There are also a large number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding preferred stock and exercise of warrants. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, we had approximately 330,000 shares of common stock available for future issuance under our stock incentive plan. As of March 31, 2011, options to purchase approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock were outstanding and approximately 60,000 restricted stock units were outstanding and will be eligible for sale in the public market from time to time subject to vesting.

Our stock price may be highly volatile, which increases the risk of securities litigation. The market for our common stock and for the securities of other small market-capitalization companies has been highly volatile in recent years. This increases the risk of securities litigation relating to such volatility. We believe that factors such as quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in financial results, new product introductions by us or our competition, public announcements, changing regulatory environments, sales of common stock by certain existing shareholders, substantial product orders and announcement of licensing or product supply agreements with major pharmaceutical, biotechnology companies or vaccine companies could contribute to the volatility of the price of our common stock, causing it to fluctuate dramatically. General economic trends such as recessionary cycles and changing interest rates may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control or otherwise influence or control most matters submitted to our shareholders. Certain funds affiliated with Life Sciences Opportunities Fund II (Institutional), L.P. (collectively, the “LOF Funds”) and its affiliates currently own shares of common stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, warrants to purchase common stock and unpaid preferred stock dividends representing, in aggregate, approximately 46.1% of our outstanding voting power (assuming exercise of the warrants and payment of dividends). As a result, the LOF Funds and their affiliates have the potential to control matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including a change of control transaction, which could prevent or delay such a transaction.
