(unaudited)
(1) FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The unaudited financial statements of Cytoclonal Pharmaceutics Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), included herein have been prepared in
accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and, in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial
statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The
results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full fiscal year.
Through March 31, 1998, the Company was in the development stage and its
efforts had been principally devoted to research and development, capital
formation and organizational development.
(2) RESEARCH AND COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENT
In June 1998, the Company entered into a license and research agreement
with Bristol-Myers Squibb ("BMS") on two technologies related to production
of paclitaxel, the active ingredient in BMS's largest selling cancer
product, Taxol-Registered Trademark-. The agreement includes fees,
milestone payments, research and development support and minimum and sales
based royalties.
(3) LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128
"Earnings Per Share". Statement No. 128 replaced the calculation of
primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted
earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per
share excludes any dilutive effects of option, warrants and convertible
securities. Dilutive earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share. In accordance with Statement
No. 128, which was adopted by the Company in 1997, basic and diluted net
loss per common share is based on the net loss increased by dividends on
preferred stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. No effect has been given to outstanding
options, warrants or convertible preferred stock in the diluted computation
as their effect would be antidilutive.
(4) PRIVATE PLACEMENT
In April and May 1998, the Company completed a private placement for an
aggregate of 671,035 shares of Common Stock and 335,540 Class E Warrants
and received net proceeds of $4,838,000.
(5) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from licensing and research agreements is recognized as the
expenses for research and development activities performed under the
6
terms of the agreements are incurred. Revenues from nonrefundable
licenses and up front fees is recognized upon signing the agreement.
Revenue resulting from the achievement of milestones is recognized when
the milestone is achieved. Amounts received in advance of services to
be performed are recorded as deferred revenue.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH, AND IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY, THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES
THERETO INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS CERTAIN
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. WHEN USED IN THIS REPORT, THE WORDS "ANTICIPATE,"
"BELIEVE," "ESTIMATE," "EXPECT" AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS AS THEY RELATE
TO THE COMPANY OR ITS MANAGEMENT ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY SUCH
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS, PERFORMANCE
OR ACHIEVEMENTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN, OR
IMPLIED BY, THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. HISTORICAL OPERATING
RESULTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE TRENDS IN OPERATING
RESULTS FOR ANY FURTHER PERIOD.
Cytoclonal Pharmaceutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), was duly organized and commenced operations in September
1991. To date, the Company's efforts have been principally devoted to
research and development activities and organizational efforts,
including the development of products for the treatment of cancer and
infectious diseases, recruiting its scientific and management personnel
and advisors and raising capital.
The Company's plan of operation for the next 12 months will consist
of research and development and related activities aimed at:
- continued collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb on the development
of Paclitaxel production from Microbial Fermentation and Paclitaxel-
specific genes.
- further development of the Paclitaxel treatment of polycystic kidney
disease, a potential new Paclitaxel indication and establishing a
strategic partnership.
- evaluation of potential new proprietary microbial anticancer drugs
with Bristol-Myers Squibb.
- further development of a diagnostic test using the patented LCG gene
and related MAb to test in vitro serum, tissue or respiratory aspirant
material for the presence of cells which may indicate a predisposition
to, or early sign of, lung or other cancers.
- further testing of peptide from UCLA for inhibition of breast cancer
via steroid receptors.
- further analysis of TNF-PEG technology as an anti-cancer agent in
animal studies.
- testing proprietary vectors which have been constructed for the
expression of specific proteins that may be utilizable for vaccines
for different diseases using Mycobacteria.
- further development and potential marketing of the anti-sense
technology currently being conducted at the University of Texas at
Dallas.
8
- developing a humanized antibody or peptide specific for the protein
associated with the LCG gene and, if successful, submission of an IND
for clinical trials.
- making modest improvements to the Company's laboratory and corporate
facilities.
- hiring additional research technicians and a financial vice president.
- seeking to establish strategic partnerships for the development,
marketing, sales and manufacturing of the Company's proposed products.
The actual research and development and related activities of the
Company may vary significantly from current plans depending on numerous
factors, including changes in the cost of such activities from current
estimates, the results of the Company's research and development
programs, the results of clinical studies, the timing of regulatory
submissions, technological advances, determinations as to commercial
potential and the status of competitive products. The focus and
direction of the Company's operations will also be dependent upon the
establishment of collaborative arrangements with other companies, the
availability of financing and other factors.
For the period from July 1, 1998 to September 30, 1998, the Company
incurred a net loss of $976,000 compared to a net loss of $945,000 for
the same period in 1997. For the period from January 1, 1998 to
September 30, 1998, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,935,000
compared to a net loss of $2,462,000 for the same period in 1997. The
decrease for the nine month period from the previous year was
attributable to revenue received from licensing and research and
development agreements and an increase in interest income The Company
expects to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future.
The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of
$1,930,000 and $1,490,000 for the nine months ended September 1998 and
September 1997, respectively. The increase from the previous year was
attributable to increased legal and professional fees, including
increased patent expenses, as well as, increased insurance costs,
increased public relations and financial relations expenses and
increased contract labor expenses, partially offset by a decrease in
consulting fees and rent expenses.
The Company incurred research and development expenses of
$1,173,000 and $1,050,000 for the nine months ended September 1998 and
September 1997, respectively. The increase was attributable to
increased funding for the research programs at Washington State
University and Research & Development Institute, Inc. (RDI), an increase
in laboratory rental costs, and an increase in royalty payable to RDI,
partially offset by a decrease in laboratory supply costs.
The Company believes that the net proceeds from its initial public
offering of November 1995, the exercise of the placement agent purchase
options in February 1997, the net proceeds of approximately $4,838,000
from the private placement in April and May 1998, and proceeds of
approximately $2,640,000 from the exercise of warrants and options
through September 1998
9
will be sufficient to finance the Company's plan of operation through
the end of 1999. There can be no assurance that the Company will
generate sufficient revenues to fund its operations after such period or
that any required financings will be available, through bank borrowings,
debt or equity offerings, or otherwise, on acceptable terms or at all.
