Unilife Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business and Unaudited Financial Statements

Unilife Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a U.S. based manufacturer and supplier of injectable drug delivery systems. The Company’s customers are biotechnology companies who seek to leverage its innovative, differentiated and customizable devices to enable or enhance the clinical development, regulatory approval and commercial lifecycles of its injectable biologics, drugs and vaccines. The Company manufactures and supplies its proprietary devices to pharmaceutical companies in a format where they can be filled and packaged with an injectable therapy prior to its shipment to the end-user for safe, simple and convenient administration.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented as required by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

References to A$ mean the lawful currency of the Commonwealth of Australia. References to € or euros are to the lawful currency of the European Union.

2. Liquidity

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations during the year ended June 30, 2013, and the six months ended December 31, 2013, and anticipates incurring additional losses until such time that it can generate sufficient revenue from the sale, customization, or exclusive use and licensing of its proprietary range of injectable drug delivery systems to pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. Management has taken such steps delineated below to address its cash requirements.

The Company needs additional funding to support its operations and capital expenditure requirements. The Company continues to have discussions with current and prospective customers for many active programs in its commercial pipeline and has executed several agreements featuring a combination of revenue streams including exclusivity fees, device customization programs and supply contracts that have begun to generate cash payments to the Company during fiscal year 2014. The Company expects to continue to execute agreements and generate additional cash payments during the remainder of calendar year 2014. Given the substantial size, complexity and long-term duration of many of these prospective agreements, some can take a significant time to negotiate and finalize. The Company is managing its cash position to minimize raising additional equity capital with the objective of minimizing dilution to existing stockholders.

The Company continues to evaluate debt funding programs available to the Company as part of its overall financing strategy. Combined with the anticipated revenue to be generated from new and existing customer agreements or through other transactions, the Company expects to have sufficient near term liquidity. However, there can be no assurance that such additional funding, or sales transactions, will close as expected or be available when needed. These various factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In October 2012, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement, (the “Sales Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $45.0 million. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 3,512,153 shares of common stock and raised approximately $10.7 million under the Sales Agreement. The Company is not obligated to make any additional sales of shares under the Sales Agreement. As of December 31, 2013, there was approximately $19.2 million available under the Sales Agreement. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock and raised approximately $6.2 million under the Sales Agreement.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unilife Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates are principally in the areas of revenue recognition and share-based compensation expense. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of syringe components and include direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first in, first out method. The Company routinely reviews its inventory for obsolete, slow moving or otherwise impaired inventory and records estimated impairments in the periods in which they occur.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company grants equity awards to its employees, directors and consultants. Certain employee and director awards vest over stated vesting periods and others also require achievement of specific performance or market conditions. The Company expenses the grant-date fair value of awards to employees and directors over their respective vesting periods. To the extent that employee and director awards vest only upon the achievement of a specific performance condition, expense is recognized over the period from the date management determines that the performance condition is probable of achievement through the date they are expected to be met. Awards granted to consultants are sometimes granted for past services, in which case their fair value is expensed on their grant date, while other awards require future service, or the achievement of performance or market conditions. Timing of expense recognition for consultant awards is similar to that of employee and director awards; however, aggregate expense is re-measured each quarter-end based on the then fair value of the award through the vesting date of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the exception of market-based grants, which are valued based on the Monte Carlo option pricing model. Option pricing methods require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from industrialization and development fees, licensing fees and product sales.

The Company recognizes up front, non-refundable fees ratably over the expected life of the related agreement. Revenue from industrialization and development fees is recognized upon achievement of the “at risk” milestone events, which represent the culmination of the earnings process related to such events. Milestones can include specific phases of projects such as product design, prototype availability, user tests, manufacturing proof of principle and the various steps to complete the industrialization of the product. Revenue is recognized when each substantive milestone has been achieved and the Company has no future performance obligations related to the milestone.

The Company recognizes revenue from sales of products at the time of shipment when title passes to the customer.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). The new guidance requires an entity to disclose in a single location the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, entities must disclose the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income item. For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, entities must provide a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. The standard does not change the items which must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. Since this guidance impacts presentation only, it has had no effect on the Company’s financial condition.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASC 2013-11, “Income Taxes — Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”) which is part of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740: Income Taxes. The new guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit and an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward on a net basis as part of a deferred tax asset, unless the unrecognized tax benefit is not available to reduce the deferred tax asset component or would not be utilized for that purpose, then a liability would be recognized. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the July 1, 2014 adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

4. Equity Transactions and Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to equity awards to employees, directors and consultants of $2.6 million and $2.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $5.3 million and $4.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013 the Company granted certain directors 227,500 shares of common stock which may not be sold or transferred until such time as the director leaves the board for any reason, including a change in control, or other permitted circumstances. The weighted average grant date fair value of the shares was $3.95 per share.

Stock Options and Warrants

The Company has granted stock options to certain employees and directors under the Employee Share Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is designed to assist in the motivation and retention of employees and to recognize the importance of employees to the long-term performance and success of the Company. The Company has also granted stock options to certain consultants outside of the Plan. The majority of the options to purchase common stock vest on the anniversary of the date of grant, which ranges from one to three years. Additionally, certain stock options vest upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock reaching certain minimum levels, as defined in the agreements. Share-based compensation expense related to options granted to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related vesting term. Share-based compensation expense related to options granted to consultants is recognized ratably over each vesting tranche of the options.

In November 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). The Stock Incentive Plan initially provided for a maximum of 6,000,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for the issuance of stock options and other stock-based awards. Commencing on January 1, 2012, and on each January 1st thereafter, through January 1, 2019, the share reserve automatically adjusts so that it equals 17.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding reduced by the sum of any shares of common stock issued under the Stock Incentive Plan and any shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards under the Stock Incentive Plan.

In January 2010, the Company issued 1,000,000 options to purchase common stock to a consultant under the Stock Incentive Plan in consideration for various services to be performed for the Company. The options to purchase common stock are exercisable at A$6.33 per share and vest upon the trading price of the Company’s CHESS Depositary Interests reaching certain minimum levels on the Australian Securities Exchange, which range from A$1.75 to A$3.22 per share. The options are re-measured each reporting date and as of December 31, 2013 were valued at $0.97 per option, which is being expensed ratably over the vesting period of each tranche, which ranges from 0.61 years to 0.78 years. The options will be re-valued on a quarterly basis and marked to market until exercised.

The aggregate intrinsic value is defined as the difference between the market value of the Company’s common stock as of the end of the period and the exercise price of the in-the-money stock options. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0 and $0.1 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The Company used the following weighted average assumptions in calculating the fair value of options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

    

Six Months Ended

December 31,

 
     2013     2012  

Number of stock options granted

     300,000        300,000   

Expected dividend yield

     0     0

Risk-free interest rate

     1.54     0.91

Expected volatility

     55     55

Expected life (in years)

     5.0        6.0   

The fair value of each stock option was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the exception of grants subject to market conditions, which were valued using a Monte Carlo option pricing model. The Company has not historically paid dividends to its stockholders and, as a result, assumed a dividend yield of 0%. The risk free interest rate is based upon the rates of U.S. Treasury bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the option. Due to the Company’s limited Nasdaq trading history, the expected volatility used to value options granted after January 27, 2010 is based upon a blended rate of the historical share price of the Company’s stock on the Australian Securities Exchange and the volatility of peer companies traded on U.S. exchanges operating in the same industry as the Company. The expected term of the options to purchase common stock issued to employees and directors is based upon the simplified method, which is the mid-point between the vesting date of the option and its contractual term unless a reasonable alternate term is estimated by management. The expected term of the options to purchase common stock issued to consultants is based on the contractual term of the awards.

Restricted Stock

The Company has granted shares of restricted stock to certain employees and consultants under the Stock Incentive Plan. During the period prior to vesting, the holder of the non-vested restricted stock will have the right to vote and the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared. All non-vested shares of restricted stock are reflected as outstanding; however, they have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share.

For employees, the fair value of restricted stock is measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s common stock on that date. Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock issued to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the longest vesting period. For restricted stock granted to consultants, the fair value of the awards is re-valued on a quarterly basis and marked to market until vested. Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock issued to consultants is recognized ratably over each vesting tranche.

The following is a summary of activity related to restricted stock awards during the six months ended December 31, 2013:

Mortgage Loans

In October 2010, Unilife Cross Farm LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (“Cross Farm”) entered into a loan agreement with Metro Bank (“Metro”), pursuant to which Metro provided Cross Farm with two mortgage loans in the amounts of $14.25 million and $3.75 million. The proceeds received were used to finance the purchase of land and construction of the Company’s corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility in York, Pennsylvania.

During construction, Cross Farm paid only interest on both term loans at the Prime Rate plus 1.50% per annum, with a floor of 4.50% per annum. Subsequent to construction, Cross Farm is paying principal and interest on both term loans, with interest at a fixed rate of 6.00%. The weighted average interest rate on both term notes was 6.00% during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended June 30, 2013.

The loan agreement contains certain customary covenants, including the maintenance of a Debt Service Reserve Account in the amount of $2.4 million, classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet, which will remain in place until Cross Farm and Metro agree on the financial covenants. The terms of the loan agreement allow the Company to use the Debt Service Reserve Account to pay monthly debt service on the mortgage loans, so long as the balance in the account is at least $1.6 million and is replenished to $2.4 million every six months. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of December 31, 2013. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the Debt Service Reserve Account balance for a period of 12 months from December 31, 2013. Cross Farm may prepay the loan without penalty. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has guaranteed $10.0 million of the loans.

In connection with the two mortgage loans and other bank term loans, the Company has given Metro Bank a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets except for the Company’s intellectual property and certain other assets that are subject to other third party liens.

Secured Lending Facility

In August 2011, the Company entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Varilease Finance, Inc. (“Varilease”) for up to $10.0 million of secured financing for production equipment for its Unifill syringe. Based on the Company’s continuing involvement throughout the term of the agreement and the integral nature of the production equipment, the transaction is being accounted for as a financing. Over the term of the Lease Agreement, the Company made 27 monthly installments based upon the amount drawn. This facility has an effective interest rate of 14.00%. The secured lending facility contains covenants and provisions for events of default customarily found in lease agreements.

As previously disclosed on September 30, 2013, Varilease and CCA Financial LLC (collectively, the “Lessors”) filed an action in the State of Michigan in the Circuit Court for the County of Oakland, Case No. 2013-136458-CK seeking a judgment confirming the terms of the lease. The Company removed the action to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Case No. 2:13-CV-14238-SFC-LJM, on October 4, 2013. Under the Lease Agreement, Lessors and the Company were to negotiate a buyout rate at the end of the two-year lease term, which Lessors represented to the Company during the lease negotiations would be 15% of the amount financed. When the Company notified Lessors that it wanted to exercise the buyout of the equipment, Lessors claimed a buyout rate significantly higher than 15%. Under the terms of the lease, if the parties are unable to agree on a buyout rate by the end of the lease term, the lease will automatically renew for an additional 12-month period and the Company would be responsible for another year of lease payments. Lessor’s action in Michigan state court asked the court to confirm that the parties have been unable to agree on a buyout rate and therefore under the terms of the lease the lease is automatically extended for one year.

As previously disclosed, the Company also filed suit on September 30, 2013 against Lessors in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Case No. 2:13-cv-14174-SFC-LJM alleging, among other things, that Lessors fraudulently induced the Company into entering the lease by making misrepresentations about the buyout rate. The Company sought, among other things, to have the federal court enforce a 15% buyout rate and to enjoin Lessors from declaring a default under the lease and taking possession of the equipment for which the Company would have to impair the carrying value of assets. On October 17, 2013, in a stipulated order, the U.S. District Court ordered that the Company continue to make the same monthly payments under the lease, that as long as the Company makes timely payments, Lessors shall not declare a default, and that Lessors is required to provide advance notice of a default.

As previously reported, the Company entered into a Confidential Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Definitive Settlement Agreement”), effective December 30, 2013, with the Lessors. The Definitive Settlement Agreement provides that it will obtain title to all equipment under the equipment lease upon the payment to the Lessors of approximately $4.8 million over the next twelve months. In addition, under the Definitive Settlement Agreement the Company and the Lessors released each other from any and all claims related to the companion lawsuits, as well as dismissed such lawsuits. In connection with the Definitive Settlement Agreement, during the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $3.6 million of interest expense representing the difference between the carrying value of the debt and the present value of the settlement amount.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Financing Authority Loan

In December 2010, Cross Farm received a $2.25 million loan from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for land and the construction of its current manufacturing facility. The loan bears interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, matures in January 2021 and is secured by a third mortgage on the facility. In connection with the loan agreement, Cross Farm entered into an intercreditor agreement by which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania agreed that it would not exercise its rights in the event of a default by Cross Farm without the consent of Metro, which holds the first and second mortgages on the facility.

Due to the Company’s net losses, unvested shares of restricted stock (participating securities) totaling 2,612,449 and 5,510,846 were excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and unvested shares of restricted stock (participating securities) totaling 2,880,150 and 4,967,496 were excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In addition, stock options (non-participating securities) totaling 5,244,095 and 8,427,743 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share and stock options (non-participating securities) totaling 5,763,630 and 9,240,923 during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Certain of these stock options were excluded solely due to the Company’s net loss position. Had the Company reported net income during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, these shares would have had an effect of 207,119 and 279,094 diluted shares, respectively, for purposes of calculating diluted net loss per share. Had the Company reported net income during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, these shares would have had an effect of 351,346 and 431,092 diluted shares, respectively, for purposes of calculating diluted net loss per share.

9. Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims, suits and complaints arising out of the normal course of business. Based on the facts currently available to the Company, management believes that these claims, suits and complaints are adequately provided for, covered by insurance, without merit or not probable that an unfavorable outcome will result.

As previously disclosed, on September 7, 2012, the Company received a letter from counsel for Talbot (Todd) Smith, a former employee, alleging that Mr. Smith was wrongly terminated. Mr. Smith, who was terminated “for cause” by the Company, filed a complaint with the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (“OSHA”) in November 2012. The Company and various third parties have investigated the allegations made by Mr. Smith and have determined that the allegations are without merit. The Company believes the allegations made by Mr. Smith against the Company are in retaliation for his “for cause” termination and has been defending itself vigorously in the OSHA matter. Because OSHA did not make a final determination on Mr. Smith’s complaint within 180 days, Mr. Smith filed a complaint with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (“USDC”) on August 30, 2013. The USDC complaint makes the same allegations made by Mr. Smith in the OSHA complaint and does not make any additional

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

material allegations. Given that the allegations made by Mr. Smith in the USDC complaint are nearly identical to those made in his OSHA complaint, the Company and various third parties have investigated the allegations previously and have determined that the allegations are without merit, and the Company will defend itself vigorously in court. The case is currently in discovery. Given that Mr. Smith filed the complaint with the USDC, OSHA dismissed the OSHA matter without a final determination.

As previously disclosed, subsequent to the filing of the OSHA complaint by Mr. Smith on February 12, 2013, the Company received a subpoena from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) requesting the Company to provide certain information to the Staff, which is generally consistent with the meritless allegations made by Mr. Smith in his OSHA complaint. In the USDC complaint, Mr. Smith states that he provided the Staff with information about his allegations in July and August 2012. The Company responded to that subpoena and received a second subpoena from the Staff, requesting additional information consistent with the first subpoena. The Company is cooperating fully with the Staff and has provided the requested information.

As previously disclosed, on November 1, 2013, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of a purported stockholder of the Company and all other similarly situated stockholders who purchased the Company’s securities between July 13, 2011 and September 9, 2013 (the “Class Period”). The complaint was mainly based on the meritless allegations made by Mr. Smith in his complaint and generally alleged that the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations and prospects, which allegedly caused the plaintiff and other members of the purported class to purchase the Company’s securities at inflated prices during the Class Period. The lawsuit sought unspecified damages. There were no additional filings by parties seeking to be designated as the lead plaintiff by the required December 31, 2013 deadline, and the plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal without Prejudice on January 7, 2014, so this matter has concluded.

On January 8, 2014, the Company was served with a derivative complaint filed in the Delaware Chancery Court by Cambridge Retirement System, a purported shareholder of the Company, against the Company’s Board of Directors to recover allegedly “excessive and wasteful” compensation paid to the non-executive directors since 2010. The Company believes that these allegations are baseless and without merit given that the Company has received favorable say-on-pay votes at the last three annual shareholders meetings and the shareholders previously have voted in favor of the equity grants to the directors, which is required under ASX listing rules, as recently as November 2013. The Company and the directors will defend themselves vigorously in this matter and expect to file a motion to dismiss in response to the complaint by Cambridge in lieu of an answer. The Company does not believe there will be any material impact to the Company or its business.

The Company does not believe there will be any material impact to the Company or its business as a result of these matters.

10. Business Alliances

Sanofi

The Company signed an exclusivity agreement and an industrialization agreement with Sanofi, a multinational pharmaceutical company, between June 2008 and July 2009. Under the terms of these agreements, Sanofi had agreed to pay the Company an aggregate of approximately $36.4 million in exclusivity fees and industrialization milestone payments for the exclusive right to negotiate the purchase of the Unifill ready-to-fill (prefilled) syringe (Unifill syringe or product) which was developed pursuant to the agreements. Sanofi had paid the Company a €10.0 million ($13.0 million) up front non-refundable one-time fee which the Company was recognizing as revenue over the expected term of the agreement.

On September 3, 2013, the Company and Sanofi entered into a supply agreement and terminated both the exclusivity agreement and the industrialization agreement. As a result, the Company has recognized the remaining unamortized revenue of $2.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2013. Under the terms of the supply agreement, the Company has granted Sanofi the exclusive use of the Unifill Finesse with anti-thrombotic drugs during the contract period. Following a four year ramp-up period after market entry, exclusivity will be maintained, subject to Sanofi purchasing a minimum of 150 million units of the Unifill Finesse or other Unifill syringes per year. The Company can supply its Unifill syringes, including the Unifill Finesse, to additional customers in all other therapeutic classes outside of anti-thrombotics. In addition to future revenue from the sale of Unifill Finesse syringes, the Company may receive up to $15 million from Sanofi in milestone-based payments with $5.0 million of these payments received in October 2013. This supply contract replaces and supersedes all other agreements previously signed between both parties regarding the Unifill syringe platform.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Unilife Corporation:

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Unilife Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the related consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Unilife Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated September 13, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 2 of Unilife Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013, and for the year then ended, discloses that the Company had incurred recurring losses from operations and has limited cash resources. Our auditors’ report on those consolidated financial statements dated September 13, 2013, includes an explanatory paragraph referring to the matters in note 2 of those consolidated financial statements, and indicating that these matters raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As indicated in note 2 of the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013, and for the six months then ended, the Company has continued to incur losses from operations and has limited cash resources. The accompanying interim financial information does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and those described from time to time in other reports which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

We are a U.S.-based developer, manufacturer and supplier of injectable drug delivery systems.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2012

Revenue. Revenue increased by $2.9 million or 411% due to additional revenue recognized related to development activities for various customers.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $2.8 million or 56% due to increased payroll costs and research and development share-based compensation expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.6 million or 20% due to decreased share-based compensation expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.4 million or 27% primarily as a result of a $4.1 million loss on the disposal of certain pieces of equipment during fiscal 2013.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $3.7 million or 575% primarily as a result of additional amounts to be paid in connection with our equipment financing with Varilease.

Net loss and net loss per share. Net loss during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $16.3 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.17 and $0.19, respectively, on weighted average shares outstanding of 97,868,961 and 77,622,481. The increase in the weighted average shares outstanding was primarily due to the issuance of common stock in connection with our October 2012 and February 2013 equity financings.

The increase in the weighted average shares outstanding was primarily due to the issuance of common stock in connection with our October 2012 and February 2013 equity financings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have funded our operations primarily from a combination of equity issuances, borrowings under our bank mortgages, term loans, an external secured financing and payments from Sanofi under our exclusive licensing and industrialization agreements. As of December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $4.3 million, restricted cash was $2.4 million and our long-term debt was $25.2 million. As of June 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $5.7 million, restricted cash was $2.4 million and our long-term debt was $23.9 million. The $2.4 million of restricted cash relates to amounts that must remain in cash deposits under our loan agreement with Metro Bank (“Metro”).

During October 2012, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $45.0 million. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, we issued 3,512,153 shares of common stock and raised approximately $10.7 million under the Sales Agreement. We are not obligated to make any additional sales of shares under the Sales Agreement. As of December 31, 2013, there was approximately $19.2 million available under the Sales Agreement. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock and raised approximately $6.2 million under the Sales Agreement.

We have incurred losses from operations during the year ended June 30, 2013 and six months ended December 31, 2013 and anticipate incurring additional losses until such time that we can generate sufficient revenue from the sale, customization or exclusive use and licensing of our proprietary range of injectable drug delivery systems to pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. We estimate that our cash and cash equivalents of $6.7 million as of December 31, 2013, which includes $2.4 million of restricted cash, together with the $6.2 million that we received under the Sales Agreement and cash receipts from customers is sufficient to sustain planned operations through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

The following table summarizes our cash flows during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $11.0 million compared to $20.7 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to cash receipts from customers which was recorded as deferred revenue.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.8 million and $1.3 million respectively, primarily as a result of costs incurred in connection with the purchase of machinery and related equipment.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $11.3 million compared to $16.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, we received $10.7 million in connection with our public offering of common stock under the Sales Agreement and $2.3 million upon the exercise of stock options, partially offset by principal debt payments of $1.7 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk is limited to our cash and cash equivalents that are invested in money market funds with highly liquid short term investments and our variable interest rate term loans. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to mitigate changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Certain of our revenues are derived from payments under our exclusive agreement received in euros while we incur most of our expenses in U.S. dollars and Australian dollars. In addition, a portion of our cash and cash equivalents and investments are held at Australian banking institutions and are denominated in Australian dollars. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks on these amounts. We currently do not utilize options or forward contracts to mitigate changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For U.S. reporting purposes, we translate all assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. entities into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the end of the related period and we translate all revenues and expenses of our non-U.S. entities using the average exchange rate during the applicable period.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As previously disclosed, on September 7, 2012, we received a letter from counsel for Talbot (Todd) Smith, a former employee, alleging that Mr. Smith was wrongly terminated. Mr. Smith, who was terminated “for cause” by us, filed a complaint with the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (“OSHA”) in November 2012. We and various third parties have investigated the allegations made by Mr. Smith and have determined that the allegations are without merit. We believe the allegations made by Mr. Smith against us are in retaliation for his “for cause” termination and have been defending ourself vigorously in the OSHA matter. Because OSHA did not make a final determination on Mr. Smith’s complaint within 180 days, Mr. Smith filed a complaint with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (“USDC”) on August 30, 2013. The USDC complaint makes the same allegations made by Mr. Smith in the OSHA complaint and does not make any additional material allegations. Given that the allegations made by Mr. Smith in the USDC complaint are nearly identical to those made in his OSHA complaint, we and various third parties have investigated the allegations previously and have determined that the allegations are without merit, and we will defend ourself vigorously in court. The case is currently in discovery. Given that Mr. Smith filed the complaint with the USDC, OSHA dismissed the OSHA matter without a final determination.

As previously disclosed, on September 30, 2013, Varilease and CCA Financial LLC (collectively, the “Lessors”) filed an action in the State of Michigan in the Circuit Court for the County of Oakland, Case No. 2013-136458-CK seeking a judgment confirming the terms of the lease. We removed the action to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Case No. 2:13-CV-14238-SFC-LJM, on October 4, 2013. Under the Lease Agreement, Lessors and us were to negotiate a buyout rate at the end of the two-year lease term, which Lessors represented to us during the lease negotiations would be 15% of the amount financed. When we notified Lessors that we wanted to exercise the buyout of the equipment, Lessors claimed a buyout rate significantly higher than 15%. Under the terms of the lease, if the parties are unable to agree on a buyout rate by the end of the lease term, the lease will automatically renew for an additional 12-month period and we would be responsible for another year of lease payments. Lessors’ action in Michigan state court asked the court to confirm that the parties have been unable to agree on a buyout rate and therefore under the terms of the lease the lease is automatically extended for one year.

As previously disclosed, we also filed suit on September 30, 2013 against Lessors in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Case No. 2:13-cv-14174-SFC-LJM alleging, among other things, that Lessors fraudulently induced us into entering the lease by making misrepresentations about the buyout rate. We seek, among things, to have the federal court enforce a 15% buyout rate and to enjoin Lessors from declaring a default under the lease and taking possession of the equipment for which we would have to impair the carrying value of assets. On October 17, 2013, in a stipulated order, the U.S. District Court ordered that we continue to make the same monthly payments under the lease, that as long as we make timely payments, Lessors shall not declare a default, and that Lessors are required to provide advance notice of a default.

As previously reported, we entered into a Confidential Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Definitive Settlement Agreement”), effective December 30, 2013, with the Lessors. The Definitive Settlement Agreement provides that we will obtain title to all equipment under the equipment lease upon the payment to the Lessors of approximately $4.8 million over the next twelve months. In addition, under the Definitive Settlement Agreement the Company and the Lessors released each other from any and all claims related to the companion lawsuits, as well as dismissed such lawsuits.

As previously disclosed, on November 1, 2013, we and certain of our officers were named as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of a purported stockholder of ours and all other similarly situated stockholders who purchased our securities between July 13, 2011 and September 9, 2013 (the “Class Period”). The complaint was mainly based on the meritless allegations made by Mr. Smith in his complaint and generally alleged that the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding our business, operations and prospects, which allegedly caused the plaintiff and other members of the purported class to purchase our securities at inflated prices during the Class Period. The lawsuit sought unspecified damages. There were no additional filings by parties seeking to be designated as the lead plaintiff by the required December 31, 2013 deadline, and the plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal without Prejudice on January 7, 2014, so this matter has concluded.

On January 8, 2014, we were served with a derivative complaint filed in the Delaware Chancery Court by Cambridge Retirement System, a purported shareholder of the Company, against our Board of Directors to recover allegedly “excessive and wasteful” compensation paid to the non-executive directors since 2010. We believe that these allegations are baseless and without merit given that the we have received favorable say-on-pay votes at the last three annual shareholders meetings and the shareholders previously have voted in favor of the equity grants to the directors, which is required under ASX listing rules, as recently as November 2013. We and the directors will defend ourselves vigorously in this matter and expect to file a motion to dismiss in response to the complaint by Cambridge in lieu of an answer. We do not believe there will be any material impact to us or our business.
