A. Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of biodefense vaccines and oral therapeutic products intended for areas of unmet medical need. Our business strategy is to (a) prepare the submission of a New Drug Application, (“NDA”) for orBec^®with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, (“FDA”) for the treatment of intestinal Graft-versus-Host Disease, “iGVHD” as well as to prepare submission of a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) with the European Central Authority, European Medicine Agency (“EMEA”); (b) consider prophylactic use studies of orBec^® for the prevention of iGVHD; (c) evaluate and possibly initiate additional clinical trials to explore the effectiveness of oral BDP (orBec^®) in other therapeutic indications involving inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract; (d) identify a marketing and sales partner for orBec^® for territories outside of the U.S., and potentially inside the U.S.; (e) secure government funding for each of our biodefense programs through grants, contracts, and procurements; (f) convert the biodefense vaccine programs from early stage development to advanced development and manufacturing; (g) transition the biodefense vaccine development programs from academic institutions into commercial manufacturing facilities with the goal of soliciting government contracts; (h) identify the development candidates for botulinum therapeutic screening program; (i) reinitiate development of our other biotherapeutics products namely Oraprine^TM, LPM^TM-Leuprolide, and LPE^TM and PLP^TM Systems for Delivery of Water-Insoluble Drugs as when resources permit; and (j) acquire or in-license new clinical-stage compounds for development. We were incorporated in 1987. We maintain two active segments; BioTherapeutics and BioDefense.

BioTherapeutics Overview

Through our BioTherapeutics Division, we are in the process of developing oral therapeutic products to treat unmet medical needs. Our therapeutic product, orBec^® (oral beclomethasone dipropionate), has completed a randomized, multi-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled pivotal Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of acute intestinal graft-vs-host disease (iGVHD), a form of serious and life-threatening gastrointestinal inflammation associated with allogeneic bone marrow or stem cell transplant therapy. orBec^® demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in mortality during the prospectively defined Day 200 post-transplant period and positive trends on it’s primary endpoint. While orBec^® did not achieve statistical significance in its primary endpoint of time to treatment failure at Day 50 (p-value 0.1177), orBec^® did achieve a 70% reduction in mortality compared to placebo (p-value 0.011). orBec^® is a highly potent, topically-active glucocorticoid. orBec^® has previously been granted Fast Track Designation and received Orphan Drug Designation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of iGVHD. Our business strategy is to (a) prepare the submission of a New Drug Application, (“NDA”) for orBec^®with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, (“FDA”) for the treatment of intestinal Graft-versus-Host Disease, “iGVHD” as well as to prepare submission of a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) with the European Central Authority, European Medicine Agency (“EMEA”); (b) consider prophylactic use studies of orBec^® for the prevention of iGVHD; (c) evaluate and possibly initiate additional clinical trials to explore the effectiveness of oral BDP (orBec^®) in other therapeutic indications involving inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract; (d) identify a marketing and sales partner for orBec^® for territories outside of the U.S., and potentially inside the U.S. and to (e) reinitiate development of our other biotherapeutics products namely Oraprine^TM, LPM^TM-Leuprolide, and LPE^TM and PLP^TM Systems for Delivery of Water-Insoluble Drugs as resources permit; and (f) acquire or in-license new clinical-stage compounds for development.

BioDefense Overview

In collaboration with two United States academic research institutions, we are developing vaccine products to combat the threat posed by two potent biological toxins; ricin toxin and botulinum toxin. Both vaccines under development are recombinant products in bacterial hosts and both consist of nontoxic subunits of the native toxins. These subunits retain the ability to induce antibodies that completely neutralize the toxins from which they are derived. Through exclusive licenses with two Universities, we have secured important intellectual property rights related to these vaccines. Both of which are considered bioterrorism threats by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Department of Defense (DOD) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We are developing our biodefense countermeasures for potential U.S. government procurement pursuant to the Project Bioshield Act of 2004, which provides incentives to industry to expeditiously supply biodefense countermeasures to the Strategic National Stockpile. As a step towards this goal, on September 13, 2004, we were awarded a $5,173,298 grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for RiVax^TM, our genetically engineered vaccine against ricin toxin, one of the most lethal plant toxins known to man. This was increased on May 6, 2005, to $6,433,316. The increase of $1,260,018 was awarded based on a new renegotiated F&A rate with the NIH. The grants project period is September 15, 2004 to August 31, 2007 and covers the process development for manufacturing of RiVax^TM our recombinant vaccine for ricin toxin. The grant is based on milestones and certain budget amounts are earned as we meet milestones in the development of RiVax^TM.

On January 30, 2006 we announced results of a Phase I clinical trial of RiVax^TM our recombinant vaccine against ricin toxin, that has been completed by investigators at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) led by Dr. Ellen Vitetta, director of the Cancer Immunobiology Center at UT Southwestern. Results from the trial demonstrated that RiVax^TM is safe and immunogenic after immunization with three monthly injections of vaccine, with volunteers developing antibodies against ricin toxin. The functional activity of the antibodies was confirmed by transferring serum samples from the vaccinated volunteers into mice, which then survived exposure to ricin toxin. Results of the study were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Under the sponsorship of the NIH grant, we have developed a scaleable process for the manufacture of the subunit immunogen component of RiVax™, begun long term stability testing, and have developed a second generation formulation of RiVax which will be tested in a Phase II trial.

Our vaccine against botulinum neurotoxin, BT-VACC™, is a mucosally administered vaccine that protects against exposure to botulinum neurotoxins. Botulinum neurotoxin is the most potent natural toxin and is on the Category A list of biothreats. Based on promising preclinical results that demonstrate induction of protective immune responses via oral or intranasal vaccination, we anticipate that BT-VACC™ can be developed as either a standalone vaccine or administered as a booster to the current injected vaccines. We are developing BT-VACC™ to be administered by the mucosal route since such vaccines induce more complete protection than injected vaccines and are thought to protect better against aerosol or oral exposure to botulinum neurotoxin. , Since mucosally administered formulations can be given without needles and trained personnel, we expect that that BT-VACC™ will be poised for rapid distribution and vaccination for military use or civilian vaccination in response to bioterrorism. Any vaccine for botulinum will have to be composed of multiple antigens representing several natural serotypes. At this point, we have demonstrated that combinations of three serotypes can induce protective immune response in animals. The three serotypes are A, B, and E, which represent the most common of the botulinum serotypes and the ones most likely to be used as bioweapons. Our plans are to focus on development of the oral vaccine concept using formulation technology that permits increased contact of the antigen with immune inductive sites in the GI tract, and alternatively develop the A-B-E trivalent vaccine as a nasal spray vaccine. . In conjunction with DOW Pharma, we have demonstrated that it will be feasible to manufacture the required antigens in a bacterial host (P. fluorescens), and are anticipating developing purification processes for each antigen. BT-VACC™ is covered by issued and pending U.S. patents.

1. orBec^®

Our therapeutic product orBec^®, is an orally administered corticosteroid that exerts a potent, local anti-inflammatory effect within the mucosal tissue of the gastrointestinal tract. orBec^®has recently completed a multicenter, placebo-controlled pivotal Phase III clinical trial in iGVHD. iGVHD is a life threatening complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for which no FDA-approved therapies exist, making it an area of unmet medical need. The active ingredient in orBec^®, beclomethasone 17, 21-dipropionate ("BDP"), is a mucosally active anti-inflammatory agent, with a potent local effect, that is the active ingredient in a variety of currently marketed products including Beconase Aqua (nasal spray for rhinitis), Becloforte (inhalant for asthma), and Propaderm (a topical cream for eczema and psoriasis). There currently is no FDA-approved oral BDP product in the United States. There are a variety of additional gastrointestinal disorders for which a potent, topically-active oral corticosteroid could be beneficial including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. We believe that topical steroids such as orBec^® delivered to the affected mucosa would suppress the inflammation associated with these disorders while producing fewer adverse side effects than systemic corticosteroids such as prednisone.

orBec^®is manufactured as a two-pill formulation (1 mg BDP per pill) administered four times daily (total of 8 mg) for the indication of acute iGVHD. The two-pill combination is comprised of an immediate-release pill designed to primarily dissolve in the stomach and proximal intestine and an enterically-coated pill designed to dissolve in the more alkaline pH portion of the small intestine.

Our goal is to file an NDA with the FDA for orBec^®for the treatment of iGVHD in the second quarter of 2006. We have assembled an experienced team of employees and contractors who are currently working on all aspects of the NDA preparation, including data management, data analysis, and biostatistics medical writing. Manufacturing of the requisite batches of drug product (registration batches) is completed and these batches are currently undergoing stability testing.

We anticipate the market potential for orBec^®for the treatment of iGVHD to be at between 50 and 70 percent of the approximately 10,000 bone marrow and stem cell transplants that occur each year in the U.S.

We have had strategic discussions with a number of pharmaceutical companies regarding the partnering or sale of orBec^®. We may seek a marketing partner in the U.S. and abroad in anticipation of commercialization of orBec^®. We also intend to seek a partner for the other potential indications of orBec^®. We are also evaluating an alternative strategy of a commercial launch of orBec^® by ourselves in the U.S.

Pivotal Phase III Clinical Trial

Previous phase I and phase II studies demonstrated that a two-pill combination of oral BDP was effective in treating iGVHD, allowing patients to be rapidly tapered off the systemic corticosteroid prednisone, without recurrence of intestinal symptoms (McDonald et al., 1998 Gastroenterology), and without clinical manifestation of adrenal suppression (Baehr et al., 1995 Transplantation). Based on this data, we designed a Phase III clinical protocol that was subject to a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) by the FDA and was similar in design to the previously completed Phase II trial (McDonald et al. 1998 Gastroenterology). The primary efficacy endpoint of this trial is the time to treatment failure at Study Day 50. Treatment failure was defined as use of prednisone or equivalent IV corticosteroids at doses higher than stated in protocol, or use of any additional other steroid, in response to uncontrolled signs or symptoms of iGVHD. The target enrollment was 130 patients. The pivotal trial was conducted at sixteen bone marrow transplant centers fourteen in the United States and two in France, and the product has been assigned "orphan drug" designation and "fast track" status by the FDA. The trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic trial that was to serve as the basis for a New Drug Application to be filed with the FDA.

While orBec^® did not achieve statistical significance in its primary endpoint of time to treatment failure through Day 50 (p-value 0.1177), orBec^® did achieve statistical significance in its secondary endpoint of time to treatment failure through Day 80 (p-value 0.0226). The Company believes that the p-value of 0.1177 achieved in the primary endpoint through Day 50 is primarily due to a higher than expected rate of treatment failures during days 0-10 of the study. During such period, patients were receiving high dose prednisone (1-2mg/kg/day) plus either orBec^® (8mg/day) or placebo. For purposes of the study, patients that did not begin the rapid taper of high dose prednisone on Day 10 as called for by the regimen were deemed treatment failures for all purposes, including the calculation of statistical significance of time to treatment failure at Day 50. The Company intends to further analyze the Day 0-10 treatment failure group and the statistical impact of this group on the primary endpoint of time to treatment failure at Day 50 and discuss the results of this analysis with the FDA. Encouragingly, the treatment failure rate at Day 50 approached statistical significance (p-value 0.0515). In addition, the secondary endpoint of time to treatment failure at Day 80, as well the treatment failure rate at Day 80, each achieved statistical significance (p-values 0.0226 and 0.0048, respectively).

Perhaps of greatest clinical relevance, orBec® demonstrated a 70% reduction in mortality, registering only 5 (8%) deaths during the prospectively defined Day 200 post-transplant period versus 16 (26%) deaths for the placebo group (p-value 0.011). Based upon separate analysis conducted by the Company, there is also a statistically significant correlation between treatment failure and mortality.

New Mortality Findings

In response to a specific FDA request and as part of its process to submit a New Drug Application (“NDA”), DOR collected further mortality data from the Phase II and Phase III clinical trials. The new survival analysis of patients enrolled in the earlier Phase II trial suggests that results were similar to those from the pivotal Phase III multi-center study. In the Phase II trial, there were reductions in the risk of mortality of 55% and 43% at transplant day-200 and one-year post-randomization among patients randomized to beclomethasone dipropionate, respectively. The comparable survival data from the 129-patient Phase III pivotal trial were 66% and 51% reductions in the risk of morality at transplant day-200 and one-year post-randomization among patients randomized to orBec®, respectively. In the Phase III pivotal trial, a subgroup analysis revealed that among patients who had received stem cells from unrelated donors, the reduction in the risk of day-200 mortality among patients randomized to orBec® was 94%.

We are currently investigating the possibility of conducting a clinical trial that would test the effectiveness of orBec^®for the prevention of iGVHD. If the data from this clinical trial demonstrates positive results, the potential market for orBec^® would expand to include all patients in the U.S. who undergo allogeneic bone marrow transplants who are at risk for developing iGVHD.

About Graft-versus-Host Disease

Graft-versus-Host Disease occurs in patients following an allogeneic bone marrow transplant in which tissues of the host, most frequently the gut, liver, and skin, are attacked by lymphocytes in the donor (graft) marrow. Patients with mild to moderate iGVHD present to the clinic with early satiety, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If left untreated, symptoms of iGVHD persist and can progress to necrosis and exfoliation of most of the epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa, frequently a fatal condition. Approximately 50 to 70% of the estimated 10,000 annual allogeneic transplant patients in the United States will develop some form of acute iGVHD.

iGVHD is one of the most common causes for the failure of bone marrow transplant procedures. These procedures are being increasingly utilized to treat leukemia and other cancer patients with the prospect of eliminating residual disease and reducing the likelihood of relapse. orBec^®Represents a first-of-its-kind oral, locally acting therapy tailored to treat the gastrointestinal manifestation of GVHD, the organ system where GVHD is most frequently encountered and highly problematic. orBec^®is intended to reduce the need for systemic immunosuppressives to treat iGVHD. Currently approved systemic immunosuppressives utilized to control iGVHD substantially inhibit the highly desirable graft-versus-leukemia (“GVL”) effect of bone marrow transplants, leading to high rates of aggressive forms of relapse, as well as substantial rates of mortality due to opportunistic infection.

2. Future Potential Indications of orBec^®

Based on its pharmacological characteristics, oral BDP may have utility in treating other conditions of the gastrointestinal tract having an inflammatory component. We have an issued U.S. patent (6,096,731) claiming the use of oral BDP as a method for preventing the tissue damage that is associated with both iGVHD following hematopoietic cell transplantation, as well as Host-versus Graft Disease, as occurs following organ allograft transplantation. In addition, we are exploring the possibility of testing orBec^® for local inflammation associated with Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, Lymphocytic Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and liver disease, among other indications.

3. Other Products in BioTherapeutics Pipeline

The following is a brief description of other products in our pipeline. Due to resource limitations, the Company has recently focused its R&D efforts on orBec^®, RiVax^® and BT-Vacc^TM. When financial circumstances change, the Company may re-initiate development of any or all of these products, all of which are currently available for licensing or acquisition. These products consist of two drug delivery systems that are designed to facilitate the oral delivery of hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs, including peptides, and an oral form of the immunosuppressant azathioprine. We acquired the formulation of azathioprine (Oraprine™) as a result of the merger of Endorex and CTD in November 2001, also acquired were patent applications licensed from Dr. Joel Epstein of the University of Washington. We conducted a Phase I that established the feasibility of the oral drug to treat oral ulcerative lesions resulting from graft versus host disease. The drug delivery systems, LPM™, LPE^TM, PLP^TM, including the use of leuprolide in the LPM™ system, were developed internally and we have submitted and pursued patents on these products.

Oraprine^TM

Oraprine^TM is an oral suspension of azathioprine, which we believe may be bioequivalent to the oral azathioprine tablet currently marketed in the United States as Imuran^®. We acquired the azathioprine formulation (Oraprine^TM) as a result of the merger of Endorex and CTD in November 2001. Also acquired were patent applications licensed from Dr. Joel Epstein of the University of Washington. In collaboration with Dr. Joel Epstein we conducted a Phase I trial that established the feasibility of the oral drug to treat oral ulcerative lesions resulting from graft versus host disease. Subsequently we conducted an additional Phase I bioavailability trial with the oral formulation and determined that the new formulation was bioequivalent to the marketed tablets of azathioprine (Imunra®). Azathioprine is one of the most widely used immunosuppressive medications in clinical medicine. Azathioprine is commonly prescribed to organ transplant patients to decrease their natural defense mechanisms to foreign bodies (such as the transplanted organ).The decrease in the patient’s immune system increases the chances of preventing rejection of the transplanted organ in the patient. Oraprine^TM may provide a convenient dosage form for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or tablets, such as children.

LPM^TM - Leuprolide

LPM^TM - Leuprolide is an oral dosage formulation of the peptide drug leuprolide, a hormone-based drug that is among the leading drugs used to treat endometriosis and prostate cancer, which utilizes a novel drug delivery system composed of safe and well characterized ingredients to enhance intestinal absorption. The LPM^TMsystem incorporates biocompatible lipids and polymers and is potentially useful for a wide variety of molecular structures of water-soluble drugs, particularly those based on peptides. Although both small molecules and large molecules can be incorporated into our system, there is a molecular size cutoff for a commercially viable oral bioavailability enhancement, and this system is most effective with hydrophilic drugs/peptides below 5,000 Daltons in molecular weight. Utilizing a simple and scaleable manufacturing process, aqueous solutions of peptides can be incorporated into lipid-polymer mixtures forming stable micelles.

LPE^TM and PLP^TM Systems for Delivery of Water-Insoluble Drugs

We were developing two lipid-based systems, LPE^TM and PLP^TM, to support the oral delivery of small molecules of water insoluble drugs. Such drugs include most kinds of cancer chemotherapeutics currently delivered intravenously. The LPE^TM system is in the form of an emulsion or an emulsion pre-concentrate incorporating lipids, polymers and co-solvents. We have filed for patent applications on the use of perillyl alcohol as a solvent, surfactant and absorption enhancer for lipophilic compounds. The polymers used in these formulations can either be commercially available or proprietary polymerized lipids and lipid analogs.

C. BioDefense Programs

1. Rivax^TM - Ricin Toxin Vaccine

The development of our vaccine against ricin toxin stems from the research (Smallshaw et al., 2002 Vaccine) of Dr. Ellen Vitetta at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW). This research has shown that a modified subunit of ricin toxin is non-toxic and highly immunogenic in animals, reproducibly inducing protective immunity in mice challenged with ricin toxin. In collaboration with UTSW, we have manufactured the vaccine in small batches in their cGMP facility, developed a stable formulation, filed an IND and initiated a pilot Phase I safety and immunogenicity trial. We have completed the pilot trial which was a dose escalation clinical trial. This trial marks the first time a ricin toxin vaccine has ever been clinically tested in humans. The trial enrolled 15 volunteers in groups of 5 who were vaccinated with three successive monthly injections of the same dose level of RiVax™. Three dose levels of RiVax™ were evaluated. The vaccine was prepared without an adjuvant to determine whether the subunit itself was immunogenic and safe. Even without an adjuvant, RiVax™ induced antibodies in all five of the individuals who received the highest dose, four out of five who received the intermediate dose, and one out of five who received the lowest dose levels. The vaccine was well tolerated in all individuals with only mild side effects that are typical of reactions to vaccines injected intramuscularly. These side effects included mild transient headaches and sore arms. Despite the absence of an adjuvant, antibodies were present in the blood of several volunteers for as long as 127 days after their last vaccination. The functional activity of the antibodies was confirmed by transferring serum globulins from the vaccinated individuals along with active ricin toxin to sensitive mice, which then survived subsequent exposure to ricin toxin. The results of this study were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Based on these results, we are planning additional human clinical trials with an adjuvant formulation of the vaccine, which is now being evaluated in stability and toxicology trials.

We have developed a robust process for manufacturing the vaccine at scale with Cambrex under the auspices of a $6,433,316 NIH challenge grant awarded to foster development and manufacturing. We have extensively characterized the different stages in the process and have performed the process under cGMP in anticipation of Phase II trials with the vaccine. We have also developed a formulation of the vaccine using salts of aluminum as an adjuvant to prolong and enhance the protective immune response in humans. , In conjunction with Phase II trials, we are planning to conduct pivotal animal trials of the vaccine to elaborate on the FDA “two animal” rule, which permits licensure of vaccines based on the results of safety tests in humans and efficacy results in animals in situations where the evaluation in humans is ethically not permitted. The goal of these studies is to determine the level of antibodies in humans that is correlated to protection against exposure in animals. This must be done to be able to choose the correct dose and dosing regimen for humans. In the case of ricin, it is not ethical to expose humans to ricin post vaccination, so “correlates of immunity” must be established in animal models. Our goal is to make a ricin vaccine available for the United States government’s Strategic National Stockpile. We have an exclusive license agreement with UTSW for its ricin vaccine technology.

Ricin toxin is a heat stable toxin that is easily isolated and purified from the bean of the castor plant. As a bioterrorism agent, ricin could be disseminated as an aerosol, by injection, or as a food supply contaminant. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have classified ricin as a Category B biological agent. Ricin works by first binding to glycoproteins found on the exterior of a cell, and then entering the cell and inhibiting protein synthesis leading to cell death. Once exposed to ricin toxin, there is no effective therapy available to reverse the course of the toxin. Currently, there is no FDA approved vaccine to protect against the possibility of ricin toxin being used in a terrorist attack, or its use as a weapon on the battlefield, nor is there a known antidote for ricin toxin exposure.

2. BT-Vacc^TM - Botulinum Toxin Vaccine

Botulinum toxin is the product of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin is one of the most poisonous natural substances known to mankind. Botulinum toxin causes acute, symmetric, descending flaccid paralysis due to its action on peripheral cholinergic nerves. Paralysis typically presents 12 to 72 hours after exposure. Death results from paralysis of the respiratory muscles. Current treatments include respiratory support and passive immunization with antibodies which must be administered before symptoms occur, which leaves little time post-exposure for effective treatment.

Our botulinum toxin vaccine, called BT-VACC™, was developed through the research of Dr. Lance Simpson at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Park and Simpson 2003 Infection and Immunity). There are seven different serotypes of botulinum toxin and no cross immunogenicity exists between these serotypes. Any vaccine will therefore require multiple antigens to protect against the different serotypes. The antigen consists of a segment of the heavy chain of botulinum toxin that is non-toxic and immunogenic. After oral or intranasal immunization, the antigen elicits antibodies that protect vaccinated animals against massive lethal doses of native toxin. Ability for a subunit protein to induce antibodies after oral or nasal immunization is atypical for protein subunit vaccines. The reason that a mucosal vaccine is possible for botulinum toxin stems from the fact that the heavy chain of the toxin binds avidly to epithelial cells and is transported to lymphoid tissue in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract. The majority of the protective epitopes are located on the heavy chain, which does not contain enzymatic activity and is devoid of toxicity. We are currently developing formulations containing antigens of three serotypes and are testing those as oral or nasal vaccines. To this point, we have demonstrated that it is possible to combine three antigens and administered these by the respiratory route and induce protection against each corresponding toxin. Our prototype vaccine consists of antigens of type A, B, and E, which are the most prevalent serotypes in natural human infections and are thought to be the ones most likely to be used as bio-weapons. Our immediate plans are to obtain antigen from a single serotype (through manufacture or collaboration), conduct the necessary preclinical toxicology tests for an IND, and test an oral formulation for safety and immunogenicity in human volunteers. Our goal is to produce a multivalent vaccine and make it available for the U.S. government’s Strategic National Stockpile. We have an exclusive license agreement with Thomas Jefferson University for the oral and intranasal use of their botulinum toxin vaccine technology.

3. Strategy for development of BioDefense products

Since 2001, the United States government has developed an initiative to stockpile countermeasures and vaccines for over 30 biological threats that could be used in bioterrorist attacks or on the battlefield. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have recognized threats based on several factors: 1) public health impact based on illness and death; 2) ability for an agent to be disseminated, produced, and transmitted from person to person; 3) public perception and fear; and 4) special public health preparedness needs. This prioritization has resulted in classification into three threat categories: A, B, and C, where agents in Category A have the greatest potential for adverse public health impact, and agents in Category B have potential for large scale dissemination, but generally cause less illness and death. Biological agents that are not regarded to present a high public health risk but may emerge as future threats, as the scientific understanding of the agents develops, have been placed in Category C. Very few countermeasures or vaccines currently exist for Category A, B, or C agents. We believe that we have identified and will continue to identify products with relatively low development risk for addressing biological threats in Category A (e.g., botulinum toxin) and B (e.g., ricin toxin). Biodefense products can be developed and sold to the U.S. government before the FDA has licensed them for commercial use. Secondly, the FDA itself has facilitated the approval process, whereby portions of the human clinical development pathway can be truncated. Under the two animal rule, when it is not ethical to perform human efficacy trials, the FDA can rely on safety evidence in humans and evidence from animal studies to provide substantial proof of a product’s effectiveness under circumstances where there is a reasonably well-understood mechanism for the toxicity of the agent and its prevention or cure by the product. This effect has to be demonstrated in more than one animal species expected to react with a response predictive of humans or in one animal species. The animal study endpoint must be clearly related to the desired benefit in humans and the information obtained from animal studies allows selection of an effective dose in humans. Biodefense products are eligible for priority review in cases where the product is a significant advance for a serious or life threatening condition. The government would also purchase countermeasures upon expiration, so there is a recurrent market to replenish the stockpile. Under a $ 5.6 billon appropriation bill over 10 years, the BioShield Act of 2004 authorizes the government to procure new countermeasures. This bill also allows the NIH to use simplified and accelerated peer-review and contracting procedures for research and development and empowers the FDA to approve distribution of unapproved medical products on an emergency basis. Further, there are additional legislation in front of Congress, such as BioShield II, that will address additional issues such as patent extension and liability that may be of benefit to the Company in this business.

F. The Drug Approval Process

1. General

Before marketing, each of our products must undergo an extensive regulatory approval process conducted by the FDA and applicable agencies in other countries. Testing, manufacturing, commercialization, advertising, promotion, export and marketing, among other things, of the proposed products are subject to extensive regulation by government authorities in the United States and other countries. All products must go through a series of tests, including advanced human clinical trials, which the FDA is allowed to suspend as it deems necessary.

Our products will require, prior to commercialization, regulatory clearance by the FDA and by comparable agencies in other countries. The nature and extent of regulation differs with respect to different products. In order to test, produce and market certain therapeutic products in the United States, mandatory procedures and safety standards, approval processes, manufacturing and marketing practices established by the FDA must be satisfied.

An Investigational New Drug Application (IND) is required before human clinical use in the United States of a new drug compound or biological product can commence. The IND includes results of pre-clinical animal studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of the drug and a detailed description of the clinical investigations to be undertaken.

Clinical trials are normally done in three phases, although the phases may overlap. Phase I trials are concerned primarily with the safety of the product. Phase II trials are designed primarily to demonstrate effectiveness and safety in treating the disease or condition for which the product is indicated. These trials typically explore various doses and regimens. Phase III trials are expanded multi-center clinical trials intended to gather additional information on safety and effectiveness needed to clarify the product’s benefit-risk relationship, discover less common side effects and adverse reactions, and generate information for proper labeling of the drug, among other things. The FDA receives reports on the progress of each phase of clinical testing and may require the modification, suspension or termination of clinical trials if an unwarranted risk is presented to patients. When data is required from long-term use of a drug following its approval and initial marketing, the FDA can require Phase IV, or post-marketing, studies to be conducted.

With certain exceptions, once successful clinical testing is completed, the sponsor can submit an NDA for approval of a drug. The process of completing clinical trials for a new drug is likely to take a number of years and require the expenditure of substantial resources. Furthermore, the FDA or any foreign health authority may not grant an approval on a timely basis, if at all. The FDA may deny an NDA, in its sole discretion, if it determines that its regulatory criteria have not been satisfied or may require additional testing or information. Among the conditions for marketing approval is the requirement that the prospective manufacturer’s quality control and manufacturing procedures conform to good manufacturing regulations. In complying with standards contained in these regulations, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production, quality control and quality assurance to ensure full technical compliance. Manufacturing facilities, both foreign and domestic, also are subject to inspections by, or under the authority of, the FDA and by other federal, state, local or foreign agencies.

Even after initial FDA or foreign health authority approval has been obtained, further studies, including Phase IV post-marketing studies, may be required to provide additional data on safety and will be required to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for clinical indications other than those for which the product was initially tested. Also, the FDA or foreign regulatory authority will require post-marketing reporting to monitor the side effects of the drug. Results of post-marketing programs may limit or expand the further marketing of the products. Further, if there are any modifications to the drug, including any change in indication, manufacturing process, labeling or manufacturing facility, an application seeking approval of such changes may be required to be submitted to the FDA or foreign regulatory authority.

In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Service Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern or influence the research, testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of drug, biological, medical device and food products. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in, among other things, fines, recall or seizure of products, refusal to permit products to be imported into the U.S., refusal of the government to approve product approval applications or to allow the Company to enter into government supply contracts, withdrawal of previously approved applications and criminal prosecution. The FDA may also assess civil penalties for violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act involving medical devices.

For development of biodefense vaccines and therapeutics, the FDA has instituted policies that are expected to result in accelerated approval. This includes approval for commercial use using the results of animal efficacy trials, rather than efficacy trials in humans. However, the Company will still have to establish that the vaccine and countermeasures it is developing are safe in humans at doses that are correlated with the beneficial effect in animals. Such clinical trials will also have to be completed in distinct populations that are subject to the countermeasures; for instance, the very young and the very old, and in pregnant women, if the countermeasure is to be licensed for civilian use. Other agencies will have an influence over the risk benefit scenarios for deploying the countermeasures and in establishing the number of doses utilized in the Strategic National Stockpile. We may not be able to sufficiently demonstrate the animal correlation to the satisfaction of the FDA, as these correlates are difficult to establish and are often unclear. Invocation of the two animal rule may raise issues of confidence in the model systems even if the models have been validated. For many of the biological threats, the animal models are not available and the Company may have to develop the animal models, a time-consuming research effort. There are few historical precedents, or recent precedents, for the development of new countermeasure for bioterrorism agents. Despite the two animal rule, the FDA may require large clinical trials to establish safety and immunogenicity before licensure and it may require safety and immunogenicity trials in additional populations. Approval of biodefense products may be subject to post-marketing studies, and could be restricted in use in only certain populations.

2. Marketing Strategies

We have had strategic discussions with a number of pharmaceutical companies regarding the partnering or sale of orBec^®. We may seek a marketing partner in the U.S. and abroad in anticipation of commercialization of orBec^®. We are actively seeking a partner for the development of other potential indications of orBec^® as well as for our Oraprine^TM, LPM^TM - Leuprolide, LPE^TM and PLP^TMSystems for Delivery of Water-Insoluble Drugs. We are actively considering a strategy of a commercial launch of orBec^® by ourselves in the U.S.

We have had strategic discussions with a number of pharmaceutical companies regarding the partnering or sale of our biodefense vaccine products. We may market our biodefense vaccine products directly to government agencies. We believe that both military and civilian health authorities of the United States and other countries will increase their stockpiling of therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent diseases and conditions that could ensue following a bioterrorism attack.

3. Competition

Our competitors are pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, most of whom have considerably greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we currently have. Another source of competing technologies is universities and other research institutions, including the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, and we face competition from other companies to acquire rights to those technologies.

A. Biodefense Vaccine Competition

We face intense competition in the area of biodefense from various public and private companies, universities and governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Army, some of whom may have their own proprietary technologies which may directly compete with the our technologies. Acambis, Inc., Avant Immunotherapeutics, Inc., Bioport Corporation, VaxGen, Inc., Chimerix, Inc., Biosante, Inc., ID Biomedical Corporation, Human Genome Sciences, Inc., CpG Immunotherapeutics, Inc., Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Dynport Vaccine Company, LLC., and others have announced vaccine or countermeasure development programs for biodefense. Some of these companies have substantially greater human and financial resources than we do, and many of them have already received grants or government contracts to develop anti-toxins and vaccines against bioterrorism. VaxGen and Avecia Biotechnology, Inc. have both received NIH contracts to develop a next generation injectable anthrax vaccine. VaxGen has also recently received approximately $900 million procurement order from the U.S. government to produce and deliver 75 million doses of Anthrax vaccine. CpG Immunotherapeutics, Inc. has received a $6 million Department of Defense grant to develop vaccine enhancement technology. ID Biomedical Corporation, has entered into an $8 million contract to develop a plague vaccine. We have not yet been awarded any such contract funding. Additionally, we face competition from other companies which have existing governmental relationships, such as Dynport Vaccine Company, LLC, a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Defense. Dynport currently has a $300 million contract to develop vaccines for the U.S. Military, including anthrax, and botulinum toxin vaccines.

B. orBec^® Competition

Competition is intense in the gastroenterology and transplant areas. Companies are attempting to develop technologies to treat graft-vs.-host disease by suppressing the immune system through various mechanisms. Some companies, including Sangstat, Abgenix, and Protein Design Labs, Inc., are developing monoclonal antibodies to treat graft-vs.-host disease. Novartis, Medimmune, and Ariad are developing both gene therapy products and small molecules to treat graft-vs.-host disease. All of these products are in various stages of development. For example, Novartis currently markets Cyclosporin, and Sangstat currently markets Thymoglobulin for transplant related therapeutics.

Competition is also intense in the therapeutic area of inflammatory bowel disease. Several companies, including Centocor, Immunex, and Celgene, have products that are currently FDA approved. For example, Centocor, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, markets the drug product Remicade^TM for Crohn’s disease. Other drugs used to treat inflammatory bowel disease include another oral locally active corticosteroid called budesonide, which is being marketed by AstraZeneca in Europe and Canada and by Prometheus Pharmaceuticals in the U.S. under the tradename of Entocort^®. Entocort is structurally similar to beclomethasone dipropionate, and the FDA approved Entocort for Crohn’s disease late in 2001. In Italy, Chiesi Pharmaceuticals markets an oral formulation of beclomethasone dipropionate, the active ingredient of orBec® for ulcerative colitis and may seek marketing approval for their product in countries other than Italy including the United States. In addition, Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. markets an FDA-approved therapy for ulcerative colitis called Colazal^®.

Several companies have also established various colonic drug delivery systems to deliver therapeutic drugs to the colon for treatment of Crohn’s disease. These companies include Ivax Corporation, Inkine Pharmaceutical Corporation, and Elan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Other approaches to treat gastrointestinal disorders include antisense and gene therapy. Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is in the process of developing antisense therapy to treat Crohn’s disease.

We are not aware of any marketed products or products in active development to selectively treat iGVHD. We also believe that orBec^®’s unique release characteristics, intended to deliver topically active therapy to both the upper and lower gastrointestinal systems, should make orBec^®an attractive alternative to existing therapies for inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

6. Patents and Other Proprietary Rights

Our goal is to obtain, maintain and enforce patent protection for our products, formulations, processes, methods and other proprietary technologies, preserve our trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of other parties, both in the United States and in other countries. Our policy is to actively seek to obtain, where appropriate, the broadest intellectual property protection possible for our product candidates, proprietary information and proprietary technology through a combination of contractual arrangements and patents, both in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world.

We also depend upon the skills, knowledge and experience of our scientific and technical personnel, as well as that of our advisors, consultants and other contractors, none of which is patentable. To help protect our proprietary knowledge and experience that is not patentable, and for inventions for which patents may be difficult to enforce, we rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect our interests. To this end, we require all employees, consultants, advisors and other contractors to enter into confidentiality agreements, which prohibit the disclosure of confidential information and, where applicable, require disclosure and assignment to us of the ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions important to our business.

We have "Orphan Drug" designations for orBec^® in the United States and in Europe. Our Orphan Drug designations provide for seven years of post approval marketing exclusivity in the U.S. and 10 years exclusivity in Europe for the use of orBec^® in the treatment of iGVHD. We have pending patent applications for this indication that, if granted, may extend our anticipated marketing exclusivity beyond the seven year post-approval exclusivity provided by the Orphan Drug Act of 1983. We are the exclusive licensee of an issued U.S. patent that covers the use of orBec^® for the prevention of iGVHD.

Under the Waxman-Hatch Act, a patent which claims a product, use or method of manufacture covering drugs and certain other products may be extended for up to five years to compensate the patent holder for a portion of the time required for development and FDA review of the product. The Waxman-Hatch Act also establishes periods of market exclusivity, which are periods of time ranging from three to five years following approval of a drug during which the FDA may not approve, or in certain cases even accept, applications for certain similar or identical drugs from other sponsors unless those sponsors provide their own safety and efficacy data.

7. orBec^® License Agreement

In October 1998, our subsidiary, Enteron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Enteron), entered into an exclusive, worldwide, royalty bearing license agreement with George B. McDonald, M.D., including the right to grant sublicenses, for the rights to the intellectual property and know-how relating to orBec^®. In addition, Dr. McDonald receives $40,000 per annum as a consultant.

Enteron also executed an exclusive license to patent applications for "Use of Anti-Inflammatories to Treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome" from the University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston. Under the license agreements, we will be obligated to make performance-based milestone payments, as well as royalty payments on any net sales of orBec^®.

8. Ricin Vaccine Intellectual Property

In January 2003, we executed a worldwide exclusive option to license patent applications with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center for the nasal, pulmonary and oral uses of a non-toxic ricin vaccine. In June 2004, we entered into a license agreement with UTSW for the injectable rights to the ricin vaccine for initial license fees of $200,000 of our common stock and $100,000 in cash. Subsequently, in October of 2004, we negotiated the remaining oral rights to the ricin vaccine for additional license fees of $150,000 in cash. Our license obligates us to pay $50,000 in annual license fees.

On March 1, 2005 we signed a sponsored research agreement with UTSW extending through March 31, 2007. The cost of this research is approximately $190,000. The research will grant us certain rights to such intellectual property.

9. Botulinum Toxin Vaccine Intellectual Property

In 2003, we executed an exclusive license agreement with Thomas Jefferson University for issued U.S. Patent No. 6,051,239 and corresponding international patent applications broadly claiming the oral administration of nontoxic modified botulinum toxins as vaccines. The intellectual property also includes patent applications covering the inhaled and nasal routes of delivery of the vaccine. This license agreement required that we pay a license fee of $160,000, payable in $130,000 of restricted common stock and $30,000 in cash. We also entered into a one-year sponsored research agreement with the execution of the license agreement with Thomas Jefferson University, renewable on an annual basis, under which we are providing $300,000 in annual research support. In addition, we also executed a consulting agreement with Dr. Lance Simpson, the inventor of the botulinum toxin vaccine for a period of three years. Under this agreement, Dr. Simpson received options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock, vesting over two years. We are also required to pay a $10,000 non-refundable license royalty fee no later than January 1 of each calendar year.

10. Microvax^TM Intellectual Property

During 1998, our former joint venture with Élan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Innovaccines Corporation, acquired from the Southern Research Institute/University of Alabama broadly issued U.S. and international patents relating to the oral administration of vaccines. Microspheres of these dimensions are preferentially absorbed by lymphoid tissues in the gastrointestinal tract and other mucosal lymphoid tissue, resulting in higher efficacy for orally and mucosally applied vaccines. In 2002, we acquired Élan’s interest in Innovaccines. We subsequently amended our existing agreement with the Southern Research Institute (Brookwood Pharmaceuticals)/University of Alabama for rights to use their patents and technologies for commercialization of microencapsulated vaccines that permit oral delivery of antigenic compounds (vaccines). In April 2003, after the inception of our biodefense program, the license agreement was amended to provide us with the rights to nasal delivery of anthrax and ricin antigens. In keeping with our current focus, the Southern Research Institute/University of Alabama license agreement has again been amended to allow us to keep the nasal rights for the ricin vaccine while returning all other rights. This most recent amendment requires us to pay a yearly license fee in the amount of $60,000 and monthly patent maintenance of $5,000.

11. Employees

As of March 13, 2005, we had eight full-time employees, two of whom are Ph.D.s.

Information regarding our executive officers is set forth in Items 9 and 10 of this Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

12. Research and Development Spending

We spent approximately $3,700,000 in 2005 and 2004 on research and development.

You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in this report and our other reports filed with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below before you decide whether to buy shares of our common stock. Any of the factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and could negatively impact the market price of our common stock. Also, you should be aware that the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may also impair our business operations. You should also refer to the other information contained in and incorporated by reference into this Annual Report, including our financial statements and the related notes.

Risks Related to our industry

We have had significant losses and anticipate future losses; if additional funding cannot be obtained, we may reduce or discontinue our product development and commercialization efforts and we may be unable to continue our operations.

We are a company that has experienced significant losses since inception and have a significant accumulated deficit. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and expect our cumulative losses to increase. As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $821,000 in cash available. We have secured a $6,000,000 equity financing commitment from Fusion Capital which is available to us during the next 14 months provided our stock price remains above $0.12 cents. Based on our budgetary projections of $3,700,000 over the next 12 months, this facility will allow us to continue and maintain operations into the 2nd quarter of 2007. We have begun utilizing this facility and have an effective registration statement covering 9 million potential common shares for Fusion. If we expect to sell Fusion more than 9 million shares, we will file another registration statement covering additional shares. In addition, our existing NIH biodefense grant facilities provide us with significant overhead contributions to continue to operate and manage our business. We estimate that the overhead revenue contribution from our existing NIH biodefense grants will generate an additional $900,000 over the next four quarters. The Company also has several other grant applications currently under review that would allow the Company to significantly expand the pace and scope of development of its biodefense programs as well as make additional significant contributions to overhead.

All of our products are currently in development, preclinical studies or clinical trials, and we have not generated any revenues from sales or licensing of these products. Through December 31, 2005, we had expended approximately $12,600,000 developing our current product candidates for preclinical research and development and clinical trials, and we currently expect to spend at least $5.0 million over the next two years in connection with the development and commercialization of our vaccines and therapeutic products, licenses, employee agreements, and consulting agreements. Unless and until we are able to generate sales or licensing revenue from orBec®, our leading product candidate, or another one of our product candidates, we may require additional funding to meet these commitments, sustain our research and development efforts, provide for future clinical trials, and continue our operations. We may not be able to obtain additional required funding on terms satisfactory to our requirements, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when necessary, we may have to reduce or discontinue development, commercialization or clinical testing of some or all of our product candidates or take other cost-cutting steps that could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interests, and the newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of the common stock. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt, we may be subject to limitations on our operations.

We only have the right to receive $20,000 per trading day under the agreement with Fusion Capital unless our stock price equals or exceeds $0.40, in which case the daily amount may be increased under certain conditions as the price of our common stock increases. Fusion Capital shall not have the right nor the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any trading days that the market price of our common stock is less than $0.12. Since we initially registered 9,000,000 shares for sale by Fusion Capital pursuant to this prospectus (excluding the 900,000 commitment fee shares and 62,500 expense reimbursement shares that we have registered), the selling price of our common stock to Fusion Capital will have to average at least $0.67 per share for us to receive the maximum proceeds of $6.0 million without registering additional shares of common stock. Assuming a purchase price of $0.39 per share (the closing sale price of the common stock on March 28, 2006), proceeds to us would only be $3,510,000 unless we choose to register more than 9,962,500 shares, which we have the right to do. Subject to approval by our board of directors, we have the right under the common stock purchase agreement to issue more than 9,962,500 shares to Fusion Capital. In the event we elect to issue more than 9,962,500 shares offered hereby, we will be required to file a new registration statement and have it declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

If we are unsuccessful in developing our products, our ability to generate revenues will be significantly impaired.

To be profitable, our organization must, along with corporate partners and collaborators, successfully research, develop and commercialize our technologies or product candidates. Our current product candidates are in various stages of clinical and preclinical development and will require significant further funding, research, development, preclinical and/or clinical testing, regulatory approval and commercialization, and are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of products based on innovative or novel technologies. Specifically, each of the following is possible with respect to any of our other product candidates:

·	we will not be able to maintain our current research and development schedules;

·	we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to secure profitable procurement contracts from the U.S. government or others for our biodefense products;

·	we will encounter problems in clinical trials; or

·	the technology or product will be found to be ineffective or unsafe.

If any of the risks set forth above occurs, or if we are unable to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals as discussed below, we may not be able to successfully develop our technologies and product candidates and our business will be seriously harmed. Furthermore, for reasons including those set forth below, we may be unable to commercialize or receive royalties from the sale of any other technology we develop, even if it is shown to be effective, if:

·	it is uneconomical or the market for the product does not develop or diminishes;

·	we are not able to enter into arrangements or collaborations to manufacture and/or market the product;

·	the product is not eligible for third-party reimbursement from government or private insurers;

·	others hold proprietary rights that preclude us from commercializing the product;

·	others have brought to market similar or superior products; or

·	the product has undesirable or unintended side effects that prevent or limit its commercial use.

Our business is subject to extensive governmental regulation, which can be costly, time consuming and subjects us to unanticipated delays.

Our business is subject to very stringent United States, federal, foreign, state and local government laws and regulations, including the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and state and local counterparts to these acts. These laws and regulations may be amended, additional laws and regulations may be enacted, and the policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies may change.

The regulatory process applicable to our products requires pre-clinical and clinical testing of any product to establish its safety and efficacy. This testing can take many years and require the expenditure of substantial capital and other resources. We may be unable to obtain, or we may experience difficulties and delays in obtaining, necessary domestic and foreign governmental clearances and approvals to market a product. Also, even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, that approval may entail limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed. The pivotal clinical trial of our product candidate orBec^® began in 2001. In December of 2004, we announced top line results for our pivotal Phase III trial of orBec^®in iGVHD, in which orBec^®demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in mortality during the prospectively defined Day 200 post-transplant period and positive trends on its primary endpoint. While orBec^® did not achieve statistical significance in its primary endpoint of time to treatment failure at Day 50 (p-value 0.1177), orBec^®did achieve a statistically significant reduction in mortality compared to placebo. We plan to file a new drug application with the FDA. Additional clinical trials may be necessary prior to either submission of a marketing application or approval by the FDA of a marketing application.

Following any regulatory approval, a marketed product and its manufacturer are subject to continual regulatory review. Later discovery of problems with a product or manufacturer may result in restrictions on such product or manufacturer. These restrictions may include withdrawal of the marketing approval for the product. Furthermore, the advertising, promotion and export, among other things, of a product are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, we may be subject to fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and/or criminal prosecution.

There may be unforeseen challenges in developing biodefense products.

For development of biodefense vaccines and therapeutics, the FDA has instituted policies that are expected to result in accelerated approval. This includes approval for commercial use using the results of animal efficacy trials, rather than efficacy trials in humans. However, we will still have to establish that the vaccine and countermeasures it is developing are safe in humans at doses that are correlated with the beneficial effect in animals. Such clinical trials will also have to be completed in distinct populations that are subject to the countermeasures; for instance, the very young and the very old, and in pregnant women, if the countermeasure is to be licensed for civilian use. Other agencies will have an influence over the risk benefit scenarios for deploying the countermeasures and in establishing the number of doses utilized in the Strategic National Stockpile. We may not be able to sufficiently demonstrate the animal correlation to the satisfaction of the FDA, as these correlates are difficult to establish and are often unclear. Invocation of the two animal rule may raise issues of confidence in the model systems even if the models have been validated. For many of the biological threats, the animal models are not available and we may have to develop the animal models, a time-consuming research effort. There are few historical precedents, or recent precedents, for the development of new countermeasure for bioterrorism agents. Despite the two animal rule, the FDA may require large clinical trials to establish safety and immunogenicity before licensure and it may require safety and immunogenicity trials in additional populations. Approval of biodefense products may be subject to post-marketing studies, and could be restricted in use in only certain populations.

We will be dependent on government funding, which is inherently uncertain, for the success of our biodefense operations.

We are subject to risks specifically associated with operating in the biodefense industry, which is a new and unproven business area. We do not anticipate that a significant commercial market will develop for our biodefense products. Because we anticipate that the principal potential purchasers of these products, as well as potential sources of research and development funds, will be the U.S. government and governmental agencies, the success of our biodefense division will be dependent in large part upon government spending decisions. The funding of government programs is dependent on budgetary limitations, congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds, all of which are inherently uncertain and may be affected by changes in U.S. government policies resulting from various political and military developments.

Our products, if approved, may not be commercially viable due to health care changes and third party reimbursement limitations.

Recent initiatives to reduce the federal deficit and to change health care delivery are increasing cost-containment efforts. We anticipate that Congress, state legislatures and the private sector will continue to review and assess alternative benefits, controls on health care spending through limitations on the growth of private health insurance premiums and Medicare and Medicaid spending, price controls on pharmaceuticals, and other fundamental changes to the health care delivery system. Any changes of this type could negatively impact the commercial viability of our products, if approved. Our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates, if they are approved, will depend in part on the extent to which appropriate reimbursement codes and authorized cost reimbursement levels of these products and related treatment are obtained from governmental authorities, private health insurers and other organizations, such as health maintenance organizations. In the absence of national Medicare coverage determination, local contractors that administer the Medicare program may make their own coverage decisions. Any of our product candidates, if approved and when commercially available, may not be included within the then current Medicare coverage determination or the coverage determination of state Medicaid programs, private insurance companies or other health care providers. In addition, third-party payers are increasingly challenging the necessity and prices charged for medical products, treatments and services.

We may not be able to retain rights licensed to us by third parties to commercialize key products or to develop the third party relationships we need to develop, manufacture and market our products.

We currently rely on license agreements from, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Thomas Jefferson University, Southern Research Institute, the University of Alabama Research Foundation, and George B. McDonald M.D. for the rights to commercialize key product candidates. We may not be able to retain the rights granted under these agreements or negotiate additional agreements on reasonable terms, or at all.

Furthermore, we currently have very limited product development capabilities and no manufacturing, marketing or sales capabilities. For us to research, develop and test our product candidates, we need to contract or partner with outside researchers, in most cases with or through those parties that did the original research and from whom we have licensed the technologies. If products are successfully developed and approved for commercialization, then we will need to enter into collaboration and other agreements with third parties to manufacture and market our products. We may not be able to induce the third parties to enter into these agreements, and, even if we are able to do so, the terms of these agreements may not be favorable to us. Our inability to enter into these agreements could delay or preclude the development, manufacture and/or marketing of some of our product candidates or could significantly increase the costs of doing so. In the future, we may grant to our development partners rights to license and commercialize pharmaceutical and related products developed under the agreements with them, and these rights may limit our flexibility in considering alternatives for the commercialization of these products. Furthermore, third-party manufacturers or suppliers may not be able to meet our needs with respect to timing, quantity and quality for the products.

Additionally, if we do not enter into relationships with third parties for the marketing of our products, if and when they are approved and ready for commercialization, we would have to build our own sales force. Development of an effective sales force would require significant financial resources, time and expertise. We may not be able to obtain the financing necessary to establish a sales force in a timely or cost effective manner, if at all, and any sales force we are able to establish may not be capable of generating demand for our product candidates, if they are approved.

We may suffer product and other liability claims; we maintain only limited product liability insurance, which may not be sufficient.

The clinical testing, manufacture and sale of our products involves an inherent risk that human subjects in clinical testing or consumers of our products may suffer serious bodily injury or death due to side effects, allergic reactions or other unintended negative reactions to our products. As a result, product and other liability claims may be brought against us. We currently have clinical trial and product liability insurance with limits of liability of $5 million, which may not be sufficient to cover our potential liabilities. Because liability insurance is expensive and difficult to obtain, we may not be able to maintain existing insurance or obtain additional liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Furthermore, if any claims are brought against us, even if we are fully covered by insurance, we may suffer harm such as adverse publicity.

We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors in the biotechnology industry.

The biotechnology industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and sensitive to new product introductions or enhancements. Most of our existing competitors have greater financial resources, larger technical staffs, and larger research budgets than we have, as well as greater experience in developing products and conducting clinical trials. Our competition is particularly intense in the gastroenterology and transplant areas and is also intense in the therapeutic area of inflammatory bowel disease. We face intense competition in the area of biodefense from various public and private companies and universities as well as governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Army, which may have their own proprietary technologies that may directly compete with our technologies. In addition, there may be other companies that are currently developing competitive technologies and products or that may in the future develop technologies and products that are comparable or superior to our technologies and products. We may not be able to compete successfully with our existing and future competitors.

We may be unable to commercialize our products if we are unable to protect our proprietary rights, and we may be liable for significant costs and damages if we face a claim of intellectual property infringement by a third party.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patents, protect trade secrets and operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others. In the absence of patent and trade secret protection, competitors may adversely affect our business by independently developing and marketing substantially equivalent or superior products and technology, possibly at lower prices. We could also incur substantial costs in litigation and suffer diversion of attention of technical and management personnel if we are required to defend ourselves in intellectual property infringement suits brought by third parties, with or without merit, or if we are required to initiate litigation against others to protect or assert our intellectual property rights. Moreover, any such litigation may not be resolved in our favor.

Although we and our licensors have filed various patent applications covering the uses of our product candidates, patents may not be issued from the patent applications already filed or from applications that we might file in the future. Moreover, the patent position of companies in the pharmaceutical industry generally involves complex legal and factual questions, and recently has been the subject of much litigation. Any patents we have obtained, or may obtain in the future, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. To date, no consistent policy has been developed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office regarding the breadth of claims allowed in biotechnology patents.

In addition, because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until patents issue, and because publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we and our licensors are the first creators of inventions covered by any licensed patent applications or patents or that we or they are the first to file. The Patent and Trademark Office may commence interference proceedings involving patents or patent applications, in which the question of first inventorship is contested. Accordingly, the patents owned or licensed to us may not be valid or may not afford us protection against competitors with similar technology, and the patent applications licensed to us may not result in the issuance of patents.

It is also possible that our patented technologies may infringe on patents or other rights owned by others, licenses to which may not be available to us. We may not be successful in our efforts to obtain a license under such patent on terms favorable to us, if at all. We may have to alter our products or processes, pay licensing fees or cease activities altogether because of patent rights of third parties.

In addition to the products for which we have patents or have filed patent applications, we rely upon unpatented proprietary technology and may not be able to meaningfully protect our rights with regard to that unpatented proprietary technology. Furthermore, to the extent that consultants, key employees or other third parties apply technological information developed by them or by others to any of our proposed projects, disputes may arise as to the proprietary rights to this information, which may not be resolved in our favor.

Our business could be harmed if we fail to retain our current personnel or if they are unable to effectively run our business.

We have only eight employees and we depend upon these employees to manage the day-to-day activities of our business. Because we have such limited personnel, the loss of any of them or our inability to attract and retain other qualified employees in a timely manner would likely have a negative impact on our operations. Michael Sember, Chief Executive Officer, was hired in December 2004; Evan Myrianthopoulos, our Chief Financial Officer, was hired in November 2004, although he was on the Board for two years prior to that; James Clavijo, our Controller, Treasurer and Corporate Secretary was hired in October 2004; and Dr. Robert Brey, our Chief Scientific Officer was hired in 1996. In the fourth quarter of 2004, Alexander P. Haig was appointed Chairman of the Board replacing his father, General (Ret.) Alexander M. Haig, Jr., who resigned from our Board and joined our BioDefense Strategic Advisory Board. Because of this inexperience in operating our business, there continues to be significant uncertainty as to how our management team will perform. We will not be successful if this management team cannot effectively manage and operate our business. Several members of our board of directors are associated with other companies in the biopharmaceutical industry. Stockholders should not expect an obligation on the part of these board members to present product opportunities to us of which they become aware outside of their capacity as members of our board of directors.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Our stock price is highly volatile.

The market price of our common stock, like that of many other research and development public pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, has been highly volatile and may continue to be so in the future due to a wide variety of factors, including:

·	announcements of technological innovations, more important bio-threats or new commercial therapeutic products by us, our collaborative partners or our present or potential competitors;

·	our quarterly operating results and performance;

·	announcements by us or others of results of pre-clinical testing and clinical trials;

·	developments or disputes concerning patents or other proprietary rights;

·	acquisitions;

·	litigation and government proceedings;

·	adverse legislation;

·	changes in government regulations;

·	economic and other external factors; and

·	general market conditions

Our stock price has fluctuated between January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2005, the per share price of our common stock ranged between a high of $2.10 per share to a low of $0.11 per share. As of March 13, 2005 our common stock traded at $0.43. The fluctuation in the price of our common stock has sometimes been unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance.

Our stock will not remain listed on the American Stock Exchange

Our stock will be delisted from the AMEX shortly after March 31, 2006 since we have not, increased our shareholder equity above the $6 million required under the maintenance requirement for continued listing.

Because we incurred losses from operations in fiscal 2005, the stockholders’ equity standard applicable to us of the American Stock Exchange’s (AMEX) continued listing requirements is $6 million. As of December 31, 2005, we had stockholders’ equity of $1.53 million.

On June 30, 2003, our net equity of $2.3 million did not satisfy the $4 million minimum stockholders’ equity requirement that was applicable to calendar quarters ending during 2003, and we received notification from the AMEX that we were no longer in compliance with their minimum listing requirements. This requirement was increased to $6 million minimum stockholders’ equity for fiscal years ending 2003 and beyond.

On August 4, 2003 we submitted a compliance plan, and the AMEX accepted our plan and allowed us 18 months to regain compliance in accordance with the terms of our plan. Our deadline to meet the plan was December 26, 2004, to avoid delisting from the AMEX. Although we did not meet the plan submitted, AMEX provided us with the opportunity to submit a new plan of compliance with the listing standard, which we submitted on December 30, 2004.

On January 24, 2005 AMEX accepted the compliance plan and provided us until July 12, 2005 to comply with the continued listing standard of section 1003 (a) (iii) of the AMEX company guide. In February 7, 2005 on the raising of approximately $3.77 million through a private equity placement we were in compliance with the standard. However in order to continue to be in compliance with the listing standard we needed to execute the compliance plan submitted on December 30, 2004 with AMEX and approved by them on January 19, 2005.

This compliance date was then extended by AMEX until October 15, 2005. On such date, we did not have $6 million in stockholders’ equity. Therefore on October 26, 2005, the Company received notice from the AMEX staff indicating that the Company no longer complies with AMEX's continued listing standards because the Company had shareholders' equity of less than $6.0 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, and that the AMEX intends to proceed with removal of the Company's common stock from listing and registration on AMEX. The Company appealed this determination and requested a hearing before a committee of the AMEX which was held on December 2, 2005. In addition, on November 22, 2005, the Company received notice from the AMEX staff indicating that the Company also no longer complies with AMEX's continued listing standards because the Company had shareholders' equity of less than $4.0 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide. AMEX also considered this deficiency at the hearing on December 2, 2005. On December 8, 2005, we received notice from AMEX that we had been granted an extension until March 31, 2006 to regain compliance with AMEX's rules. If we have not done so by that date, AMEX will delist us with no further opportunity to appeal. We cannot assure you that we will regain compliance by March 31, 2006 nor can we assure you that we will continue to satisfy other requirements necessary to remain listed on the AMEX or that the AMEX will not take additional actions to delist our common stock.

When our stock is delisted from the AMEX, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national exchange or market. If our common stock is not listed on a national exchange or market, the trading market for our common stock may become illiquid. Upon any such delisting, our common stock would become subject to the penny stock rules of the SEC, which generally are applicable to equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and ask quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, before a transaction in a penny stock that is not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. As a result of these requirements, if our common stock were to become subject to the penny stock rules, it is likely that the price of our common stock would decline and that our stockholders would find it more difficult to sell their shares.

Shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.

We have a number of agreements or obligations that may result in dilution to investors. These include:

·	warrants to purchase a total of approximately 2,220,000 shares of our common stock at a current weighted average exercise price of approximately $0.92;

·	anti-dilution rights associated with a portion of the above warrants which can permit purchase of additional shares and/or lower exercise prices under certain circumstances; and

·	options to purchase approximately 9,800,000 million shares of our common stock of a current weighted average exercise price of approximately $0.61.

To the extent that anti-dilution rights are triggered, or warrants or options are exercised, our stockholders will experience substantial dilution and our stock price may decrease.

Item 2. Description of Property

Our executive offices are located in a leased facility of approximately 2,500 square feet in Miami, Florida. The lease expires on August 31, 2006. We believe that our current leased facilities are sufficient to meet our current and foreseeable needs.

Business Overview and Strategy

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of biodefense vaccines and oral therapeutic products intended for areas of unmet medical need. Our business strategy is to (a) prepare the submission of a New Drug Application, (“NDA”) for orBec^®with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, (“FDA”) for the treatment of intestinal Graft-versus-Host Disease, “iGVHD” as well as to prepare submission of a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) with the European Central Authority, European Medicine Agency (“EMEA”); (b) consider prophylactic use studies of orBec^® for the prevention of iGVHD; (c) evaluate and possibly initiate additional clinical trials to explore the effectiveness of oral BDP (orBec^®) in other therapeutic indications involving inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract; (d) identify a marketing and sales partner for orBec^® for territories outside of the U.S., and potentially inside the U.S.; (e) secure government funding for each of our biodefense programs through grants, contracts, and procurements; (f) convert the biodefense vaccine programs from early stage development to advanced development and manufacturing; (g) transition the biodefense vaccine development programs from academic institutions into commercial manufacturing facilities with the goal of soliciting government contracts; (h) identify the development candidates for botulinum therapeutic screening program; (i) reinitiate development of our other biotherapeutics products namely Oraprine^TM, LPM^TM-Leuprolide, and LPE^TM and PLP^TM Systems for Delivery of Water-Insoluble Drugs as resources permit; and (j) acquire or in-license new clinical-stage compounds for development. We were incorporated in 1987. We maintain two active segments; BioTherapeutics and BioDefense.

orBec^®

We anticipate the market potential for orBec^®for the treatment of iGVHD to be between 50 and 70 percent of the approximately 10,000 bone marrow and stem cell transplants that occur each year in the U.S.

We have had strategic discussions with a number of pharmaceutical companies regarding the partnering or sale of orBec^®. We may seek a marketing partner in the U.S. and abroad in anticipation of commercialization of orBec^®. We also intend to seek a partner for the other potential indications of orBec^®. We are also actively considering an alternative strategy of a commercial launch of orBec^® by ourselves in the U.S.

RiVax™

The development of RiVax^TM, our ricin toxin vaccine, has progressed significantly this year. Our academic partner, The University of Texas Southwestern led by Dr. Ellen Vitetta recently completed a Phase I safety and immunogenicity trial of RiVax^TM in human volunteers. The results of the Phase I safety and immunogenicity dose-escalation study indicate that the vaccine is well tolerated and induces antibodies in humans that neutralize ricin toxin. Despite the absence of an adjuvant, antibodies were present in the blood of several volunteers for as long as 127 days after their last vaccination. The functional activity of the antibodies was confirmed by transferring serum globulins from the vaccinated individuals along with active ricin toxin to sensitive mice, which then survived subsequent exposure to ricin toxin. The outcome of the study was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In January of 2005 we entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement for RiVax™ with Cambrex Corporation. We recently announced that Cambrex has successfully achieved the second milestone of our collaboration of fermentation and downstream process development under their development and manufacturing agreement.

BT-VACC™

Our mucosal botulinum toxin vaccine program has made important strides this year. We are developing a mucosal vaccine against botulinum neurotoxins serotypes A, B and E, which account for almost all human cases of disease. We have identified lead antigens against Serotypes A, B and E consisting of the Hc50 fragment of the botulinum toxin. Our preclinical data to date, demonstrates that Hc50, A and B are completely effective at low, mid and high doses as an intranasal vaccine and completely effective at the higher dose level orally in mice and rats. Ongoing studies are focused on serotype E and multivalent immunization experiments using serotype A, B and E antigens given simultaneously to animals. Further, we are engaged in formulation work to create a microencapsulated, enterically formulated oral dosage form, which we anticipate will be a more active and stable oral formulation improving immunogenicity and potency. To date much of the preclinical work is being conducted at Thomas Jefferson University under a sponsored research agreement funded by us. We have applied for and intend to continue to apply for research grants and contracts from the U.S. government to continue development of this vaccine. We have also recently entered into a joint development agreement with Dowpharma, a business unit of the Dow Chemical Company. Dowpharma is providing process development leading to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) production services for BT-VACC™ using its Pfēnex Expression Technology^TM, a high yield expression system based on Pseudomonas fluorescens. Up to this point we have successfully demonstrated successful high expression of soluble material from all three Hc50 vaccine candidates.

Oraprine™

Oraprine^TM is an oral suspension of azathioprine, which we believe may be bioequivalent to the oral azathioprine tablet currently marketed in the United States as Imuran^®. We acquired the azathioprine drug (Oraprine^TM) as a result of the merger of Endorex and CTD in November 2001. Also acquired were patent applications licensed from Dr. Joel Epstein of the University of Washington. We conducted a Phase I bioequivalence trial following a trial conducted by Dr. Epstein that established the feasibility of the oral drug to treat oral ulcerative lesions resulting from graft versus host disease. Azathioprine is one of the most widely used immunosuppressive medications in clinical medicine. Azathioprine is commonly prescribed to organ transplant patients to decrease their natural defense mechanisms to foreign bodies (such as the transplanted organ). The decrease in the patient’s immune system increases the chances of preventing rejection of the transplanted organ in the patient. Oraprine^TM may provide a convenient dosage form for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or tablets, such as children.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments.

Intangibles

Currently, the most significant estimate or judgment that we make is whether to capitalize or expense patent and license costs. We make this judgment based on whether the technology has alternative future uses, as defined in SFAS 2, "Accounting for Research and Development Costs". Based on this consideration, we capitalized all outside legal and filing costs incurred in the procurement and defense of patents, as well as amounts paid allowing us to license additional methods of vaccine delivery.

These intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets.

We capitalize and amortize intangibles over a period of 11 to 16 years. We capitalize payments made to legal firms that are engaged in filing and protecting our rights to our intellectual property and rights for our current products in both the domestic and international markets.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development costs are charged to expense when incurred. Research and development includes costs such as clinical trial expenses, contracted research and license agreement fees with no alternative future use, supplies and materials, salaries and employee benefits, equipment depreciation and allocation of various corporate costs. Purchased in-process research and development expense (IPR&D) represents the value assigned or paid for acquired research and development for which there is no alternative future use as of the date of acquisition.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from government grants. These revenues are recorded in the period in which they are earned. The consideration we receive is based upon a cost plus Facilities and Administrative (F&A) rate that provides funding for overhead expenses. In the second quarter of 2005, a new renegotiated F&A rate was established with the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”). The new F&A rate for 2004 was 40%. The new F&A rate for 2005 was 30%. The result of this rate increase was an increase to the original grant of $5,173,298 to $6,433,316. Part of this increase was attributed to the NIH reimbursement for overhead expenses for 2004 in the amount of $285,891 in the second quarter of 2005.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

We are a research and development company. The 2005 revenues and associated expenses were from an NIH Grant which we received in September 2004 and for an FDA grant which we received in September 2005. The NIH grant was associated with our ricin vaccine. The original amount of the NIH grant was $5,173,298. This was increased on May 6, 2005, to $6,433,316. The increase of $1,260,018 was awarded based on a new renegotiated F&A (facilities and administrative) rate with the NIH. Part of this increase was attributed to the NIH reimbursement for overhead expenses for 2004 in the amount of $285,891 in the second quarter of 2005. This new rate provided a fixed rate for facilities and administrative costs (overhead expenditures) that is applied against all costs associated with the grant awarded. The FDA grant was awarded on September 23, 2005 for the “Oral BDP for the Treatment of GI GVHD.” We begin recognizing revenue for this grant in the fourth quarter of 2005. The total amount of the one year grant is $318,750.

For the year ended December 31, 2005 we had grant revenue of $3,075,736 as compared to $997,482 in the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $2,078,254, or 208%. We also incurred expenses related to that revenue in 2005 and 2004 of $2,067,034 and $936,636, respectively, an increase of $1,130,398, or 121%. These costs relate to payments made to subcontractors and universities in connection with the grants.

Although we have a gross profit, the gross profit is a result of the increase in the NIH award for a higher and more comprehensive F&A rate to provide for overhead expenditures and the FDA grant. In addition, the gross profit of $1,008,702, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, includes $285,891 from 2004, as reimbursement in the second quarter of 2005 for the new F&A rate.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, we had a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $4,720,260 as compared to a $6,374,769 net loss applicable to common stockholders for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $1,654,509, or 26%. Net loss applicable to common stockholders included the impact of preferred stock dividends, which totaled $503,195 in 2004, as compared to $0 in 2005. This decrease in the net loss is due largely to our increased gross profit generated by the government grants and to the costs reductions in general and administrative expenses.

During 2005, our research and development spending increased to $3,681,137 as compared to $3,656,776 for 2004; an increase of $24,361 or 1% as compared to 2004. The 2005 results for research and development (R&D) expenses increased in 2005 from 2004 because we had increased expenses in the third and fourth quarters for regulatory and filing consultant costs associated with the preparation of the NDA filing for orBec^®.

General and administrative expenses for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 were $2,162,616 as compared to $2,321,186 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $158,570, or 7%. This decrease is in part attributed to severance costs associated with several former employees paid in 2004. In 2004 we had severance payments and accrued severance due former employees approximating $160,000. For 2005, the decrease was primarily attributed to a reversal of $284,855 from reported income in 2004 for the variable accounting treatment of options granted to new employees under the stock option plan that have exceeded the number of allowed stock options under the plan.

We are required to perform an annual impairment test, which we perform in the fourth quarter of each year. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we completed our annual impairment test and determined that our intangible assets, namely, our patents were impaired by $164,336. The net book value of the intangible assets will be reviewed annually and whenever the possibility of impairment is indicated. Any resulting impairment is recorded in the income statement in the period in which it is identified and quantified.

Interest income for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 was $78,242 as compared to $66,539 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $11,704 or 18 This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of days of available interest bearing cash balances in 2005 as compared to 2004 and higher interest rates on those balances.

Interest expense for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 was a $36,549 credit as compared to $20,977 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $57,546 or 274%. This decrease in the interest expense was due to reversal of interest expense because of an agreement reached with a pharmaceutical company for settlement of a note payable. This agreement required a payment of $41,865 in lieu of the $83,729 of interest we had accrued.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $821,702 as compared to $2,332,190 as of December 31, 2004 and negative working capital of $319,675 as compared to $1,055,922 as of December 31, 2004. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, our cash used in operating activities was approximately $4,700,000, versus approximately $4,400,000 in 2004.

In 2004, we granted options to employees and directors that were conditional upon stockholder approval of an amendment to our 1995 omnibus option plan. Therefore, a measurement date did not exist, until approval could be gained at our annual stockholder meeting. In December 2004, we recorded a noncash expense of $284,555.

We expect our expenditures for 2006, under existing product development agreements and license agreements pursuant to letters of intent and option agreements to approximate $3,600,000. We anticipate grant revenues to offset manufacturing and research expenditures for the development of our ricin vaccine and for orBec^® in the amount of approximately $2,300,000, pending completion of certain milestones.

As of September 30, 2005, we paid a note due of $115,948, which represents the remaining amount payable to a pharmaceutical company in connection with our joint ventures.

The following summarizes our contractual obligations at December 31, 2005, and the effect those obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods.

Contractual Obligations	Year 2005	Year 2006	Year 2007
Non-cancelable obligations (1)	$ 66,914	$ 52,628	-
TOTALS	$ 182,262	$ 52,628	$ -

(1) 3 year lease on corporate office entered into in 2003 and expiring in 2006

On January 17, 2006, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC. The registration statement was declared effective on February 13, 2006. Fusion has agreed to purchase on each trading day $20,000 of our common stock up to an aggregate of $6,000,000 million over approximately a 15-month period, subject to earlier termination at our discretion. In our discretion, we may elect to sell less of our common stock to Fusion Capital than the daily amount and we may increase the daily amount as the market price of our stock increases. The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be equal to a price based upon the future market price of the common stock without any fixed discount to the market price. Fusion Capital does not have the right or the obligation to purchase shares of our common stock in the event that the price of our common stock is less than $0.12. Under the terms we only have the right to receive $20,000 per trading day under the agreement with Fusion Capital unless our stock price equals or exceeds $0.40, in which case the daily amount may be increased under certain conditions as the price of our common stock increases. Fusion Capital shall not have the right nor the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any trading days that the market price of our common stock is less than $0.12. Since we initially registered 9,000,000 shares for sale by Fusion Capital pursuant to this prospectus (excluding the 900,000 commitment fee shares and 62,500 expense reimbursement shares that we have registered), the selling price of our common stock to Fusion Capital will have to average at least $0.67 per share for us to receive the maximum proceeds of $6,000,000 without registering additional shares of common stock.

In February 2005, we increased our cash position by the issuance and sale of 8,396,100 shares of our common stock at $0.45 per share in a private placement to institutional investors. Such investors also received warrants to purchase 6,297,075 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.505 per share. The proceeds after related expenses and closing costs were approximately $3.5 million.

Based on our current rate of cash outflows, and assuming availability of the Fusion facility, we believe that our cash will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures into the second quarter of 2007. However, if the Fusion facility were not available, due to our stock price trading below $0.12, within the next two to three months we would be required to raise cash in order to meet cash flow requirements for the next year. It is possible that within the upcoming nine months we will seek additional capital in the private and/or public equity markets to expand our operations, to respond to competitive pressures, to develop new products and services and to support new strategic partnerships. We may obtain capital pursuant to one or more corporate partnerships relating to orBec^®. If we obtain additional funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities, shareholders may experience significant dilution and these equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. The terms of any debt financing may contain restrictive covenants which may limit our ability to pursue certain courses of action. We may not be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain such financing when needed, or to do so on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop our products, take advantage of business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or continue our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 7. Financial Statements.

See Item 13(1) of this Annual Report.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures

Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer (the "Certifying Officers") are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures. Such officers have concluded (based upon their evaluations of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Certifying Officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Certifying Officers have also indicated that there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, and there were no significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Our management, including the Certifying Officers, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Each director who is not a full-time employee is paid $2,000 for each board or committee meeting attended ($1,000 if such meeting was attended telephonically).

We maintain a stock option grant program pursuant to the nonqualified stock option plan, whereby members of the our Board of Directors who are not full-time employees receive an initial grant of fully vested options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock, and subsequent annual grants of fully vested options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock after re-election to our Board of Directors.

On November 10, 2004, we entered into a letter agreement with Alexander P. Haig, to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. We agreed to issue to him options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, with 500,000 vesting immediately and 500,000 vesting in one year. In addition, on November 10, 2004, we entered into a one year consulting agreement with Worldwide Associates, Inc., for a fee of $16,500 per month. Mr. Haig is the managing director of Worldwide Associates, Inc. and General Haig is its President.

On December 23, 2002, we entered into a letter agreement with General Alexander M. Haig, Jr. to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. We agreed to pay General Haig a retainer of $50,000 per year, and issued to him options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. On November 10, 2004, the retainer portion of this agreement was terminated and General Haig was given three years in which to exercise his options.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of DOR BioPharma, Inc.,

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DOR BioPharma, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company, as of December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principals.

DOR’s biotherapeutic business segment consists of development of orBec^® and other biotherapeutics products namely Oraprine^TM, LPM^TM-Leuprolide, and LPE^TM and PLP^TM Systems for Delivery of Water-Insoluble Drugs.

During the year ending December 31, 2005, the Company had one customer, the U.S. Federal Government. All revenues were generated from two U.S. Federal Government Grants. As of December 31, 2005 all outstanding receivables were from the U.S. Federal Government, National Institute of Health and The Food and Drug Administration.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include DOR BioPharma Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“DOR” or the “Company”). The Company owns an 89.13% interest in Enteron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., its subsidiary developing orBec^®. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing the performance of the segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Grants Receivable

Receivables consist of unbilled amounts due from grants from the U.S. Federal Government, National Institute of Health and The Food and Drug Administration. The amounts were billed in the month subsequent to year end. The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established. If accounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of patent costs, principally legal fees, and, upon application for the patent, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the patent or the regulatory life

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Office and laboratory equipment and intangible assets are evaluated and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which such assets relate. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets. Such analyses necessarily involve significant judgment.

The Company recorded impairment of intangible assets of $164,346 and $6,215 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that fair values be disclosed for the Company’s financial instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, current liabilities and debt obligations, are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from government grants. These revenues are recorded in the period in which they are earned. The consideration received is based upon a cost plus Facilities and Administrative (F&A) rate that provides funding for overhead expenses. Similar to many cost-reimbursable grants, these government grants are typically subject to audit and adjustment by the government.

Research and Development Costs

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has stock-based compensation plans. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock option plans. In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” which amends SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plans based on the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s SFAS No. 123 pro forma net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:

	December 31,
	2005			2004
Net loss applicable to common shareholders
As reported	$	( 4,720,260	)	$	( 6,374,769	)
Add stock-based employee compensation expense related to stock options determined under fair value method		( 393,226	)		( 1,023,368	)
Amounts (credited) charged to income		( 284,855	)		284,855
Pro forma net loss according to SFAS 123	$	( 5,398,341	)	$	( 7,113,282	)
Net loss per share:
As reported, basic and diluted	$	( 0 .09	)	$	( 0 .16	)
Pro forma, basic and diluted	$	( 0 .11	)	$	( 0 .18	)

The weighted average fair value of options granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock was $0.48 and $0.44 for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The fair value of options in accordance with SFAS 123 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield 0%, expected life of four years, volatility of 121% and 129% in 2005 and 2004, respectively and average risk-free interest rates in 2005 and 2004 of 3.75% and 3.5%, respectively.

Stock compensation expense for options granted to nonemployees has been determined in accordance with SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services," and represents the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever may be more reliably measured. For options that vest over future periods, the fair value of options granted to non-employees is periodically remeasured as the options vest.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including the Company’s current and past performance, the market environment in which the Company operates, the utilization of past tax credits, length of carryback and carryforward periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured utilizing tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. No current or deferred income taxes have been provided through December 31, 2005 because of the net operating losses incurred by the Company since its inception.

Net Loss Per Share

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods (excluding shares that are not yet issued). The effect of stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock is antidilutive for all periods presented.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” which requires companies to record compensation expense for stock options issued to employees at an amount determined by the fair value of the options. SFAS No. 123R is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. As such, effective with the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2006, SFAS No. 123R will eliminate the Company’s ability to account for stock options using the method permitted under APB 25 and instead require us to recognize compensation expense should the Company issue options to its employees or non-employee directors. The Company will adopt this policy effective January 1, 2006 and is in the process of evaluating the impact adoption of will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SEAS No. 153, “Exchange of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions”. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets, which were previously required to be recorded on a carryover basis rather than a fair value basis. Instead, this statement provides that exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance be reported at carryover basis rather than a fair value basis. A non-monetary exchange is considered to have commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of this statement are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company expects to adopt the standard during the fiscal year 2006. The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 153 and has not determined the impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” which provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and correction of errors. This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

3. Liquidity and Management’s Plan

The Company has incurred continuing losses since its inception in 1987. At December 31, 2005 the Company had negative working capital of $319,675, a net loss of $4,720,260 and was delinquent in its payment of some of its obligations. The Company expects to sustain additional losses in 2006. Due to insufficient equity to meet American Stock Exchange requirements, the Company expects to be delisted from the Exchange on or shortly after March 31, 2006. This may adversely affect the ability of the Company to raise equity or debt capital. Moreover, the Company’s ability to raise additional funding may be compromised should the Food and Drug Administration deny initial approval of orBec for sale in the United States.

Management’s plan to generate positive cash flows either from operations or financing includes the following:

In January 2006, the Company entered into a $6,000,000, 15 month equity financing agreement with an institutional investor to fund operations through the first quarter of 2007. This agreement provides for the sale of $20,000 of common stock per working day (the amount can be increased if the stock price is greater than $0.40). The stock price must be greater than $0.12 in order to use the financing agreement. According to the Company’s management, this funding will be sufficient for research and administration through this period.

·	The Company plans to continue seeking sources for additional equity financing.

·	The Company has taken steps to be traded on the Over The Counter (“OTC”) bulletin board.

·	The Company plans to continue seeking grant funds from governmental sources.

The Company believes that if there were no other sources of financing and it is not able to utilize the funding from the investment banking organization, reductions or discontinued operations of several of the Company’s programs may be required. If this should occur, the Company believes it could continue to operate over the next four quarters at a reduced level and only continue with the existing NIH and FDA grant projects.

·	The Company is also exploring outlicensing opportunities for its BioTherapeutic and BioDefense programs.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement the plan or will be able to generate cash flows from either operations or from equity financings.

4. Office and Laboratory Equipment

Office and laboratory equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over five years. Office and laboratory equipment consisted of the following:

	December 31,
	2005			2004
Office equipment	$	115,108		$	95,417
Laboratory equipment		23,212			23,212
Total		138,320			118,629
Accumulated depreciation		( 93,592	)		( 68,149	)
	$	44,728		$	50,480

Depreciation expense was $25,443 and $20,875 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

5. Intangible Assets

The following is a summary of intangible assets which consists of licenses and patents:

	Weighted Average Amortization period (years)		Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value
December 31, 2005		10.2	$	2,605,472	$	802,452	$	1,803,020
December 31, 2004		10.6	$	2,611,195	$	728,741	$	1,882,454

Amortization expense was $168,841 and $302,449 for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Based on the balance of licenses and patents at December 31, 2004, the annual amortization expense for each of the succeeding five years is estimated to be as follows:

	Amortization Amount
2006	$ 170,000
2007	170,000
2008	170,000
2009	170,000
2010	170,000

License fees and royalty payments in connection with the below agreements are expensed annually.

In July 2003, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with University of Texas South Western (UTSW) for administering the ricin vaccine via the intramuscular route for initial license fees of 250,000 shares valued at $200,000 of DOR common stock and $200,000 in cash. Subsequently, the Company negotiated the remaining intranasal and oral rights to the ricin vaccine for $50,000 in annual license fees in subsequent years. On March 1, 2005 the Company signed a sponsored research agreement with UTSW extending through March 31, 2007. For $190,000 UTSW will grant the Company certain rights to intellectual property.

In October 2003, the Company executed an exclusive license agreement with the University of Texas System (UTMB) for the use luminally-active steroids, including beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. Pursuant to this agreement the Company paid UTMB a license fee of $10,000 and also agreed to pay an additional $10,000 license fee expense each year. The Company also agreed to pay past and future patent maintenance costs. The cost for 2005 and 2004 was $12,728 and $39,171, respectively. The Company acquired a sublicense agreement and may receive payments on this sublicense in the event of the sublicensee reaching certain milestones.

Upon execution of a royalty bearing license agreement to a pharmaceutical company in July 2003, the Company paid an additional license fee of $175,000 for the encapsulation of antigens in polymeric microspheres and their use in oral or mucosal vaccination primarily in the use of a vaccine for ricin. The Company also agreed to provide $130,000 of sponsored research during 2003, a $60,000 annual license fee and $60,000 annually for patent maintenance.

In July 2005 the Company signed a sponsored research agreement for $150,000 with Thomas Jefferson University (TJU). In May 2003, the Company signed a license agreement with TJU for the licensure of detoxified botulinum toxin for use as a vaccine. The Company paid TJU $30,000 in cash and issued 141,305 shares of common stock valued at $130,000. The Company also agreed to reimburse TJU for past and future patent maintenance. The patent maintenance expense for 2005 and 2004 was $157,293 and $58,922, respectively. The patent costs are capitalized. The Company is also responsible for a license maintenance fee of $10,000 in 2004 and 2005 and $15,000 in 2005 and each year thereafter. These costs are expensed as incurred. The Company is also responsible for paying TJU $200,000 upon the first filing of any New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and $400,000 upon first approval of an NDA relating to the first licensed product by FDA.

6. Notes Payable

On June 29, 2002, DOR and a pharmaceutical company signed an agreement for the dissolution of their joint ventures. Based on this agreement, DOR retained the joint venture entities, InnoVaccines and Newco. In connection with the settlement, the Company’s balance of $2,042,833 due to joint ventures at December 31, 2001 was restructured into payments totaling $1,104,242: $524,500 paid immediately in cash and the remaining $579,742 payments of principal and interest of $231,897 were due on June 30, 2003, $231,897 on June 30, 2004 and $115,948 on December 30, 2004, respectively.

The note payable of $115,948 was paid in the third quarter of 2005. DOR paid the principal balance in full and 50% of the interest accrued as full payment. The total payment of principal and interest was $157,813. This resulted in a reversal of interest previously accrued and expensed of $41,864.

7. Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company has 5 million authorized shares of preferred stock, none are issued or outstanding.

In 1998, a pharmaceutical company purchased $8,000,000 of DOR Series B convertible preferred stock, which was convertible into common stock at a price of $5.11 per share, subject to adjustment, with automatic conversion at such point that the common stock traded over 100,000 shares per day at a closing price of at least $9.75 per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days. In the intervening years, the Company issued additional preferred shares and stock dividends. The Series B convertible preferred stock paid an 8% annual in-kind dividend, which was valued at $171,535 in 2004. The Company issued 1715 shares of preferred stock. In March 2004, the Company issued the pharmaceutical company 376,886 shares of common stock valued at $331,660, as an inducement for the early conversion and exchanged 128,203 shares of Series B of preferred stock for 2,509,552 shares of common stock.

Common Stock

In February 2005, the Company sold 8,396,100 shares of common stock at $0.45 per share for proceeds, net of expenses, of $3,548,293 in a private placement to institutional investors. Investors also received warrants to purchase 6,297,075 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.505 per share. These warrants expire on August 8, 2010 and are callable when the price reaches $1.52 for 20 consecutive days. The placement agent was paid cash of $188,912, and warrants to purchase 629,708 shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable by August 8, 2010 at $0.625. The warrants are callable when the price reaches $1.88 for 20 consecutive days.

In 2005, the Company retired 120,640 shares of treasury stock.

During 2004, the Company issued 200,000 warrants to purchase common stock valued at $88,740 to a consultant, in exchange for his 160,000 shares of Enteron stock. In addition, contingent warrants were issued to a consultant. A consultant was issued 400,000 warrants to purchase common stock for consulting services with an expiration date of April 2009 and will be exercisable on the approval date for orBec^®.

In 2004, the Company granted options to employees and directors that were conditional upon stockholder approval of an amendment to the 1995 Omnibus Plan. Therefore, a measurement date did not exist at the approval date. This resulted in an expense of approximately $285,000. The expense was reversed when the Company received approval of its 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The Plan granted 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock to issue for satisfaction of awards made under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.

8. Stock Option Plans and Warrants

The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan is divided into four separate equity programs: 1) the Discretionary Option Grant Program, under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of common stock, 2) the Salary Investment Option Grant Program, under which eligible employees may elect to have a portion of their base salary invested each year in options to purchase shares of common stock, 3) the Automatic Option Grant Program, under which eligible nonemployee Board members will automatically receive options at periodic intervals to purchase shares of common stock, and 4) the Director Fee Option Grant Program, under which non-employee Board members may elect to have all, or any portion, of their annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash applied to a special option grant.

10. Related Party Transaction

On November 10, 2004, The Company entered into an agreement with Alexander P. Haig, to serve as the chairman of the Board of Directors. He received options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of DOR common stock, with 500,000 vesting immediately and 500,000 vesting in one year. In addition, on the same date the Company entered into a one year consulting agreement with Worldwide Associates, Inc., for a fee of $16,500 per month. Mr. Haig is the managing director of Worldwide Associates, Inc. and ret. General Alexander M. Haig, Jr. is its President.

11. Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, litigation, product liability, development of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protections of proprietary technology, and compliance with FDA regulations.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company had two vendors that constituted approximately 31% of the outstanding payables.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company had deposits in financial institutions that exceeded the amount covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company. The excess amounts at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $721,702 and $2,226,265, respectively.

12. Subsequent Events

On January 17, 2006, DOR entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC. Fusion agreed to purchase on each trading day $20,000 of common stock up to a total of $6,000,000 over approximately a 15-month period. DOR may elect to sell less common stock to Fusion Capital than the daily amount and may increase the daily amount as the market price of the stock increases. The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be equal to a price based upon the market price of the common stock at date of purchase without any fixed discount to the market price. Fusion Capital does not have the right to purchase shares of common stock in the event that the price of the common stock is less than $0.12. DOR has the right to sell $20,000 per trading day under the agreement with Fusion Capital unless the stock price equals or exceeds $0.40, in which case the daily amount may be increased under certain conditions as the price of DOR’s common stock price increases. Since the Company initially registered 9,000,000 shares for sale by Fusion Capital (excluding the 900,000 commitment fee shares and 62,500 expense reimbursement shares that were registered), the selling price of DOR’s common stock to Fusion Capital will have to average at least $0.67 per share for the Company to receive the maximum proceeds of $6,000,000 without registering additional shares of common stock.

On October 28, 2005, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire Gastrotech Pharma A/S (“Gastrotech”), a private Danish biotechnology company developing therapeutics based on gastrointestinal peptide hormones to treat gastrointestinal and cancer diseases and conditions. The letter of intent provided for a $1,000,000 breakup fee in the event a party notified the other of its intention not to proceed with the transaction. On January 26, 2006, the Company advised Gastrotech that the Company was not renewing the Company’s letter of intent with Gastrotech, which had expired in accordance with its terms on January 15, 2006. The Company has been advised by the attorney representing Gastrotech that if the Company is not willing to comply with the terms in the letter of intent, the Company will be in material breach of its obligations under the letter of intent and will be obligated to pay Gastrotech a break-up fee of $1,000,000. The Company’s position is that it does not owe Gastrotech such break-up fee.
