NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to
interim periods. These financial statements do not include all disclosures
required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with
the more complete disclosures contained in the audited financial statements of
Zynaxis, Inc. ("Zynaxis" or the "Company") included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the Company's
consolidated financial position at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the
consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, and the consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. - 6 -

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
year classifications.
Note 2 - Background and Significant Uncertainties
Zynaxis was incorporated in Pennsylvania on March 5, 1987 and commenced
operations in July 1988. The Company initially focused on development of
cell-mediated therapies and cellular diagnostic products including research
reagents for cell tracking. Between 1988 and 1991, the Company received funding
primarily through venture capital financing involving the issuance of
convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, all of which have since been
converted into Common Stock. In January 1992, the Company completed an initial
public offering of its Common Stock, receiving net proceeds of approximately
$23,300,000 through the sale of 2,875,000 shares of Common Stock. Between 1992
and 1994, the Company focused on development of products for site-directed drug
delivery using its proprietary Zyn-Linker molecules and on the development of
cellular diagnostic products including its Zymmune CD4/CD8 Cell Monitoring Kit.
During 1995, the Company modified its strategic direction, divesting
its diagnostic products, acquiring vaccine technologies, and focusing its
resources on selected drug and vaccine delivery opportunities. Four key events
occurred in 1995 as a result of the Company's modified strategic direction: (i)
the sales of the Company's diagnostic operations, accompanied by a significant
reduction in workforce, (ii) the acquisition by merger of Secretech, Inc.
("Secretech")
-6-
<PAGE> 8
and associated technologies for oral and mucosal vaccine delivery, (iii) the
completion of a private placement which raised net proceeds of $2,700,000 to
fund operations, and (iv) the completion of a significant corporate
collaborative agreement for the development of certain technologies acquired
through the merger with Secretech.
During 1996, the Company began to focus on the possibility of selling
its process chemistry/pilot plant operations, known as Cauldron Process
Chemistry ("Cauldron"), and its related assets for cash. Cauldron provides
collaborative consulting services on all aspects of bulk pharmaceutical
production and offers process research, development and pilot scale-up
facilities for the pharmaceutical, biochemical and fine chemical industries. In
July 1996, the Company signed a binding letter of intent to sell Cauldron to
Seloc AG ("Seloc"), a subsidiary of Schwarz Pharma. On August 27, 1996, the
Company received notification that Seloc was terminating its agreement in
principle to purchase Cauldron. In March 1997, Zynaxis signed an Asset Purchase
Agreement with ProClinical, Inc. ("Proclinical") for the sale of all Cauldron
assets for the aggregate amount of $832,000. The Asset Purchase Agreement
requires Zynaxis to prepay $250,000 (approximately 10 months' worth of
occupancy) to the landlord of the Company's Malvern headquarters. This sale is
subject to shareholder approval at Zynaxis' May 1997 special shareholders
meeting.
On September 23, 1996, the Company entered into an Exclusive License
Agreement and Purchase Option with Phanos Technologies, Inc. ("Phanos") for
intellectual property related to its Zyn-Linker technologies. At that time, the
Company received initial deposits totaling $200,000, of which $195,000 was
refundable in the event that Phanos decided not to exercise the option. On
January 21, 1997, the Company received notification that Phanos had exercised
its option and the Company received $525,000, representing the balance of the
purchase price. Under the terms of the agreement, Phanos acquired all of the
Company's Zyn-Linker technology.
On December 6, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Contribution (the "Merger Agreement") with CytRx Corporation
("CytRx"), Vaxcel, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytRx ("Vaxcel"), and
Vaxcel Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vaxcel ("Vaxcel
Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to approval by
shareholders of Zynaxis and certain other conditions, Vaxcel Merger Sub will be
merged (the "Merger") with and into Zynaxis, which will be the surviving
corporation and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vaxcel. The Company
anticipates that, subject to shareholder approval at the Company's special
meeting of shareholders in May 1997 and the satisfaction of conditions to the
Merger, the Merger will be consummated in late May 1997. In the Merger, the
security holders of Zynaxis will exchange their Zynaxis securities for
securities of Vaxcel and will own approximately 12.5% of the outstanding common
stock of Vaxcel immediately following the Merger. CytRx will own the remaining
approximately 87.5% of common stock of Vaxcel immediately following the Merger.
The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Vaxcel as the
acquirer. Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Zynaxis and
CytRx entered into a secured loan agreement to provide the Company with
sufficient funding for continued operations pending the Merger. As discussed in
Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, CytRx agreed to loan up to
$2,000,000 to the Company on a secured basis,
-7-
<PAGE> 9
as provided for in the loan agreement. Among other agreements entered into in
connection with the Merger is an agreement providing for the sale of
substantially all assets of the Company.
At March 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$147,281 and a working capital deficit of $1,831,700. For the three months ended
March 31, 1997, net operating cash inflow was approximately $2,000. The
Company's profitability during the first quarter of 1997 was due to the infusion
of cash from the Phanos acquisition of the Company's Zyn-Linker technology.
The Company has not received significant revenues from the sale of any
of its products. For the period from its inception to March 31, 1997, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of $49,624,000.
The ability of the Company to survive as a going concern beyond March
31, 1997 is dependent on the consummation of the Merger. There is no assurance
that the Company will ultimately complete this transaction. Additionally,
certain matters associated with the transaction require the approval of
shareholders at the Company's special meeting of shareholders to be held in May
1997. If the Company is unable to complete the transaction, if the shareholders
fail to approve the Merger or if certain conditions precedent to closing of the
Merger do not occur, the Company will not be able to continue operations. Should
the Company determine that it is no longer in the best interest of its
shareholders to continue operations, the ability of the Company to fund an
orderly disposition of assets, pay off its then outstanding liabilities and
return any remaining cash to its shareholders will be limited by the amount of
working capital then on hand, if any.
The financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. The asset and liability carrying amounts do not
purport to represent realizable or final settlement values. See "Report of
Independent Accountants" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1996 regarding the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.
Note 3 - Notes Payable to Shareholders
On May 3,1996, the Company issued Demand Promissory Notes (the "May
1996 Notes") aggregating $200,000 to two of its principal shareholders. A
general partner of the general partner of one shareholder and the president of
the other shareholder are members of the Board of Directors. These May 1996
Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 11 1/4% and are due on the earlier of
(i) the receipt by the Company of proceeds from the sale of Cauldron aggregating
at least $1,000,000 or (ii) upon demand. The May 1996 Notes are convertible at
the option of the holder into an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at any time prior to repayment. In connection with the issuance of
the May 1996 Notes, the Company issued warrants with a five-year term to
purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$1.00 per share.
-8-
<PAGE> 10
On June 7,1996, the Company issued a $250,000 Demand Promissory Note to
another of its principal shareholders. This note was canceled and reissued on
July 17,1996 due to a revision of the repayment terms (the "July 1996 Note").
This July 1996 Note bears interest at the annual rate of 11 1/4% and is due on
the earlier of (i) the receipt by the Company of proceeds from the sale of
Cauldron aggregating at least $1,000,000 or (ii) upon demand. This July 1996
Note is convertible at the option of the holder into an aggregate of 150,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at any time prior to repayment. In
connection with the issuance, the Company also issued a warrant with a five-year
term to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share.
In conjunction with the signing of the Merger Agreement in December
1996, a Note Exchange Agreement was entered into whereby two of these three
notes payable to shareholders will be exchanged for Vaxcel common stock upon
consummation of the Merger. Additionally, in the Merger, the warrants will be
exchanged for warrants to purchase Vaxcel common stock.
Note 4 - Note Payable to CytRx
As discussed in Note 2, the Company has entered into a Merger Agreement
with CytRx and Vaxcel, an Atlanta-based vaccine technology company. In
conjunction with the Merger Agreement, Zynaxis also entered into a secured loan
agreement with CytRx, Vaxcel's parent company. The terms of the loan agreement
provide that the Company may borrow up to $2,000,000 from CytRx between December
1996 and the closing of the Merger, anticipated to be in May 1997. Proceeds from
any amounts borrowed are to be used to satisfy accounts payable and accrued
expenses, as well as to fund operations until the transaction is completed.
Through March 31, 1997, the Company had borrowed a total of $1,175,000 and had
repaid $200,000 of principal in January 1997 with a portion of the cash received
from Phanos (see Note 2), resulting in a principal balance owed at March 31,
1997 of $975,000. The borrowings accrue interest at prime plus 2%. Accrued
interest expense on these borrowings totaled approximately $30,000 as of March
31, 1997.
Note 5 - Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average
common shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 1997. Common
stock equivalents have been included in the computation for this period since
the effect is dilutive.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"),
"Earnings per Share," which supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share,"
was issued in February 1997. SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for complex capital structures on the face of
the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities
into common stock, such as stock options. SFAS 128 is required to be adopted for
year-end 1997; earlier application is not permitted. The Company does not expect
the basic or diluted EPS
-9-
<PAGE> 11
measured under SFAS 128 to be materially different than its primary or
fully-diluted EPS measured under APB No. 15.
Note 6 - Collaborative, Contract and Grant Revenues
Collaboration with ALK A/S
In October 1995, the Company announced a development and licensing
agreement with ALK A/S ("ALK"), a leading European pharmaceutical company in the
field of allergy immunotherapy. The collaboration involves certain of the
technologies acquired in the merger with Secretech relating to bioactive
substance delivery technology.
Under the terms of the ALK development and licensing collaboration, the
Company has received payments aggregating $1,000,000. The Company received the
second installment of $250,000 in January 1996, the third installment of
$250,000 in April 1996, and the fourth and final installment of $250,000 in
August 1996.
The Company also has agreed to provide ALK with research and
development support of the licensed technology for which it will receive
additional revenues based upon costs incurred. During the three months ended
March 31, 1996, the Company recorded $18,600 of such revenue. As a result of a
reduction in workforce in September 1996, the Company's ability to continue to
provide ALK with research and development support has been significantly
reduced, and there was no revenue recognized for such support during the first
three months of 1997.
The Company will receive a base royalty of 7% on net sales of products
using the Company's technology, increasing based upon certain sales criteria
established under the agreement. The Company could also receive additional
milestone payments of up to $2,000,000 based upon either FDA or certain other
regulatory approvals of additional products using the Company's vaccine delivery
technologies. There can be no assurance that ALK will ever obtain the
appropriate regulatory approvals, or will ever generate any sales using the
technology licensed from the Company.
Should the Company receive royalties under the ALK agreement, it will
be required to pay approximately 3% of the net sales of the licensed product to
the original patent holder of the technology.
Contract Manufacturing
During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company,
through its Cauldron Process Chemistry division, recognized contract
manufacturing revenues of $269,000 and $152,000, respectively, by providing
process chemistry and pilot manufacturing services to other biotechnology,
pharmaceutical and chemical companies. The significant increase in these
contract revenues was attributable to an increased marketing effort throughout
1996 and 1997.
-10-
<PAGE> 12
Grant Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company
recognized $83,200 and $109,000, respectively, pursuant to a Small Business
Innovative Research ("SBIR") grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood
Institute. This grant is funding the preclinical development of Zyn-Linker
molecules linked with heparin and the investigation of their ability to inhibit
post-angioplasty restenosis and local thrombosis. This grant was extended for a
second year through June 30, 1997; the Company could recognize up to an
additional $115,000 under the terms of this grant extension.
During 1996, the Company received a Phase I SBIR grant for up to
$100,000 to develop Zyn-Linker molecules linked with Taxol and for the
investigation of their ability to inhibit post-angioplasty restenosis and local
thrombosis. The Company recorded $12,000 of revenue related to this grant, which
ended in mid-January 1997, during the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Notwithstanding the January 1997 purchase by Phanos of the Zyn-Linker
technology, the studies conducted under the grant extension will continue to be
performed by Zynaxis. However, any patents, inventions or other intellectual
property that may arise from this SBIR research will become the property of
Phanos.
Note 7 - Cauldron Assets
In efforts to raise capital, and in conjunction with the Vaxcel Merger,
the Company solicited bids from third parties to purchase the Cauldron
operations and related assets. The net book value of the Cauldron assets at
December 31, 1996 was written down to net realizeable value of $600,000. The
difference between the net book value and $600,000 is shown as a Provision for
Asset Impairment in the December 31, 1996 income statement. During the first
quarter of 1997, depreciation was taken on these assets at the rate of $24,000
per month. As discussed in Note 2, an Asset Purchase Agreement was signed in
March 1997 for the sale of the Cauldron assets for $832,000 (which will be
partially reduced by a $250,000 rent prepayment to be made by Zynaxis), subject
to shareholder approval in May 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Zynaxis, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Zynaxis, Inc. (a Pennsylvania corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows
and stockholders' equity (deficit) for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zynaxis, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
incurred significant losses from operations since its inception, has a
shareholders' deficit and requires substantial additional capital to fund its
operations. In addition, the Company has a significant operating lease
commitment. As discussed in Note 1, on December 6, 1996 the Company entered into
an agreement and plan of merger and contribution with CytRx Corporation, Vaxcel,
Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytRx), and Vaxcel Merger Subsidiary, Inc. (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Vaxcel). The merger is subject to approval of the
shareholders of each company except CytRx. If the merger is not consummated,
management will be required to consider other alternatives, including the
liquidation of the Company's remaining assets and the payment of its liabilities
and commitments. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in
Notes 1, 6 and 13. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying
amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ZYNAXIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 -- Background, Significant Uncertainties and Subsequent Events
Zynaxis, Inc. ("Zynaxis" or the "Company") was incorporated in
Pennsylvania on March 5, 1987 and commenced operations in July 1988. The Company
initially focused on development of cell-mediated therapies and cellular
diagnostic products including research reagents for cell tracking. Between 1988
and 1991, the Company received funding primarily through venture capital
financing involving the issuance of convertible preferred stock and convertible
notes, all of which have since been converted into Common Stock. In January
1992, the Company completed an initial public offering of its Common Stock,
receiving net proceeds of approximately $23,300,000 through the sale of
2,875,000 shares of Common Stock. Between 1992 and 1994, the Company focused on
development of products for site-directed drug delivery using its proprietary
Zyn-Linker(R) molecules and on the development of cellular diagnostic products
including its Zymmune CD4/CD8 Cell Monitoring Kit.
During 1995 the Company modified its strategic direction, divesting its
diagnostic products, acquiring vaccine technologies, and focusing its resources
on selected drug and vaccine delivery opportunities. Four key events occurred in
1995 as a result of the Company's modified strategic direction: (i) the sales of
the Company's diagnostic operations, accompanied by a significant reduction in
work-force, (ii) the acquisition by merger of Secretech, Inc. ("Secretech") and
associated technologies for oral and mucosal vaccine delivery, (iii) the
completion of a private placement which raised net proceeds of $2,700,000 to
fund operations, and (iv) the completion of a significant corporate
collaborative agreement for the development of certain technologies acquired
through the merger with Secretech.
During 1996, the Company began to focus on the possibility of selling
its process chemistry/pilot plant operations, known as Cauldron Process
Chemistry("Cauldron") and its related assets for cash. Cauldron provides
collaborative consulting services on all aspects of bulk pharmaceutical
production and offers process research, development and pilot scale-up
facilities for the pharmaceutical, biochemical industries and fine chemical
industries. In July 1996, the Company signed a binding letter of intent to sell
Cauldron to Seloc AG ("Seloc"), a subsidiary of Schwarz Pharma. On August 27,
1996, the Company received notification that Seloc was terminating its agreement
in principle to purchase Cauldron (See Note 6).
On September 23, 1996, the Company entered into an Exclusive License
Agreement and Purchase Option with Phanos Technologies, Inc. ("Phanos") related
to intellectual property related to its Zyn-Linker technologies. At that time,
the Company received initial deposits totaling $200,000, of which $195,000 was
refundable should Phanos have decided not to exercise the option. On January
21,1997, the Company received notification that Phanos had exercised its option
and the Company received $525,000, representing the balance of the purchase
price. Under the terms of the agreement, Phanos acquired all of the Company's
Zyn-Linker technologies.
-19-
<PAGE> 21
On December 6, 1996 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Contribution (the "Merger Agreement") with CytRx Corporation
("CytRx"), Vaxcel, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytRx ("Vaxcel"), and
Vaxcel Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vaxcel ("Vaxcel
Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to approval by
shareholders of Zynaxis and certain other conditions, Vaxcel Merger Sub will be
merged (the "Merger") with and into Zynaxis, which will be the surviving
corporation and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vaxcel. The Company
anticipates that, subject to shareholder approval and the satisfaction of
conditions to the Merger, the Merger will be consummated in the first half of
April 1997. In the Merger, the security holders of Zynaxis will exchange their
Zynaxis securities for securities of Vaxcel and will own approximately 12.5% of
the outstanding Common Stock of Vaxcel immediately following the Merger. CytRx
will own the remaining approximately 87.5% of Common Stock of Vaxcel immediately
following the Merger. The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase
transaction, with Vaxcel as the acquirer. Simultaneously with the execution of
the Merger Agreement, Zynaxis and CytRx entered into a secured loan agreement in
order for the Company to have sufficient funding for continued operations
pending the Merger. As discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, CytRx agreed to loan up to $2,000,000 to the Company on a secured
basis, as defined in the loan agreement. Among other agreements entered into in
connection with the Merger is an agreement providing for the sale of
substantially all assets of the Company.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had cash, cash equivalents of
$124,348 and a working capital deficit of $2,030,000. For the year ended
December 31, 1996, net operating cash outflow was $2,307,000.
The Company has not received significant revenues from the sale of any
of its products. For the period from its inception to December 31, 1996, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of $49,751,000.
The ability of the Company to survive as a going concern beyond
December 31,1996 is dependent on the consummation of the Merger. There is no
assurance that the Company will ultimately complete this transaction.
Additionally, certain matters associated with the transaction require the
approval of shareholders. If the Company is unable to complete the transaction,
if the shareholders fail to approve the Merger or if certain conditions
precedent to closing of the Merger do not occur, the Company will not be able to
continue operations. Should the Company determine that it is no longer in the
best interest of its shareholders to continue operations, the ability of the
Company to fund an orderly disposition of assets, pay off its then outstanding
liabilities and return any remaining cash to its shareholders will be limited by
the amount of working capital then on hand, if any. Refer to Note 6 regarding
the Cauldron assets and Note 13 regarding the Company's operating lease
commitment.
The Financial Statements were prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. The asset and liability carrying amounts do not
propose to represent realizable or final settlement values. See "Report of
Independent Public Accountants" regarding the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

Note 2 -- Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of
Zynaxis and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and
accounts have been eliminated.
Management's Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of less
than three months to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995 consisted of a bank repurchase agreement collateralized by
a United States government security.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
In 1995, the Company acquired Secretech through the issuance of
4,132,075 shares of Common Stock with a value of $4,593,749. Refer to Note 3 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In 1996 and 1995, the Company financed $25,642 and $33,628,
respectively, of equipment purchases with capital leases.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Equipment consists of
laboratory and office equipment which is depreciated on a straight-line basis,
generally over three to five years. Property and equipment under capital leases
are amortized over the term of the lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the then remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the
improvement, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expenses as incurred and were $142,677, $178,440, and $171,753 in 1996, 1995,
and 1994, respectively. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon
disposition, the net book value of assets is relieved and resulting gains or
losses are reflected in the results of operations. Included in other current
assets is a receivable of $65,000 relating to the sale of certain fixed assets
that were sold during the fourth quarter of 1996.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", which requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets carrying amount. SFAS No. 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets where disposal is expected. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and the adoption did not have any
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. See Note 6
regarding the Cauldron assets.
Revenue Recognition
Government Small Business Innovative Research ("SBIR") grants revenue
is recognized on the percentage of completion method as the related expenses are
incurred. The Company receives payment based on the level of its related
research and development. Revenues recognized approximate costs incurred.
Collaboration revenues are recognized over the expected estimated period
services or work will be performed. Contract revenues are recognized according
to contract terms and milestones achieved on the percentage of completion
method. Sales are recognized upon product shipment. See Note 17 for further
disclosure.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
These costs include personnel costs, materials consumed, depreciation on
equipment and cost of facilities used for research and development. Payments
related to the acquisition of technology rights for which development work is in
process are expensed and considered a component of research and development
costs. Included in research and development costs in 1994 are certain
manufacturing, process development and start-up costs associated with the
Company's Zymmune CD4/CD8 Cell Monitoring Kit.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per share has been computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the periods
presented. The weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used in the
computation were 10,126,676, 6,602,813, and 5,241,317 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Common shares obtainable from
the assumed conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the
exercises of outstanding options and warrants have been excluded from the
computation of net loss per common share for all periods presented because their
inclusion would be antidilutive.
Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to
the current year presentation.

Note 3 -- Acquisition of Secretech, Inc.
Effective July 27, 1995, the Company consummated the merger of
Secretech, a company engaged in the development of oral vaccines which stimulate
mucosal and systemic immunity, with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
In connection with this merger, the Company initially issued 3,000,000
shares of its Common Stock, independent of any fluctuations in its underlying
market value, to the former Secretech shareholders. Based on the July 27, 1995
market value of $1.03125 per share, the estimated total purchase price was
$3,093,750.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as a result of the
Company's consummation of the collaborative agreement discussed in Note 17 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company issued an additional
1,132,075 shares (the "Contingent Shares") of Common Stock, with a market value
at the time of issuance of $1,500,000, to the former shareholders of Secretech.
The number of Contingent Shares was determined by dividing $1,500,000 by the
then current price per share of Zynaxis Common Stock based upon the ten day
average of the closing price on the Nasdaq National Market prior to public
announcement of the collaborative agreement.
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Revenues and expenses
related to Secretech are included in the results of operations for the Company
from the date of acquisition. The Company had recorded a total charge to 1995
earnings of $5,165,793 for acquired research and development equal to the value
of the initial 3,000,000 shares issued, the value of the 1,132,075 Contingent
Shares issued, the excess of liabilities assumed over assets acquired, as well
as fees and expenses to effect the transaction.
In connection with the merger of Secretech, Zynaxis' management
performed an analysis of all identifiable assets acquired. Such analysis
included the identification and evaluation of each significant development
project to determine if the technological feasibility had been achieved and if
there were any alternative future uses. As of the date of the merger, Secretech
was a development stage biotechnology company and had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $5 million. In addition, Secretech had no product sales since
inception and a shareholder deficit. Prior to the merger with Zynaxis, Secretech
was focused on developing new classes of oral vaccines. At the time of the
merger, one of Secretech's development programs was in human clinical trials and
was several years away from regulatory approval and ultimate commercialization.
The remaining development programs were preclinical. At that time, there were
significant risks that any of these product development efforts would be
successfully completed, that regulatory approval would be obtained or that any
products, if introduced, would be successfully marketed or achieve customers'
acceptance. The cost of developing this technology was significant. As a result
of the substantial time and effort to continue the development of the product
and the associated risk thereof, it was determined that technological
feasibility had not been achieved. In addition, since alternative uses of this
developmental technology did not exist at that time, the cost of such technology
had been charged to expense in accordance with SFAS No. 2.

<PAGE> 25
Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presents consolidated
condensed pro forma financial results of this transaction, and the pro forma
financial results of the diagnostic divestiture discussed in Note 4 below.
Note 4 -- Divestiture of Diagnostic Technologies
In January 1995, Zynaxis' management and Board of Directors committed
to a plan to divest its diagnostic products and technologies. Accordingly, the
realizability of all diagnostic assets was reviewed by the Company as of
December 31, 1994. As a result of the review of its diagnostic technologies and
assets, the Company recorded a charge in the statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1994 totaling $1,466,360 for the impairment of certain
of its diagnostic-related assets. The impairment represented substantially all
of the identifiable diagnostic-related assets, including equipment, prepaid
royalties, accounts receivable and leasehold improvements.
Also as a result of the decision to divest its diagnostic technologies
and assets, in January 1995 the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$347,436. This charge consisted of severance and severance-related expenses
resulting from the termination of certain diagnostic employees, as well as
amounts due to certain distributors of the Company's Zymmune Cell Monitoring Kit
pursuant to the terms of their Zymmune distribution agreements.
Subsequent to these actions, the Company sold its diagnostic
technologies in two separate transactions and has recognized a combined net gain
of $1,616,840 on these transactions.
Sale of Cell Tracking Molecule Technology
In June 1995, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement
with Phanos for the sale of the Company's cell tracking molecules for use as
research and diagnostic reagents, including certain Zyn-Linker patents owned by
the Company.
The Company retained all rights to the therapeutic uses of the
Zyn-Linker technology. Upon signing, the Company received a lump sum payment of
$1,100,000, which is included in the gain on the sale of diagnostic
technologies.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company continued to manufacture
and distribute the research and diagnostic reagents for Phanos and receive
royalty and other payments based upon the sales of these products, if any. In
December 1996, the Company assigned its rights under this agreement to a
consulting firm, the founders of which are former vice presidents of Zynaxis. As
the result of this assignment, the Company is no longer responsible for the
manufacture or distribution of the research reagents, nor does it collect a
royalty.
-24-
<PAGE> 26
Sale of Zymmune Technology
In July 1995, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement
(the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Intracel Corporation ("Intracel") for the
sale of the Company's Zymmune technology, Zymmune inventory, certain laboratory
equipment, patents, patent applications and certain other rights.
Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by a
release agreement dated October 24, 1995, the Company received $560,000 of cash
and a $450,000 four-year promissory note secured by certain of the purchased
assets. This promissory note is interest-free for several years; accordingly,
the Company recorded the discounted value of the note receivable of $285,000 as
a long-term asset. In 1996, imputed interest of $36,000 was charged to the
statement of operations and the current carrying value of the note is $324,000.
In connection with the asset and technology transfer, the Company was required
to make a cash payment of $152,000 to terminate an operating lease on certain
equipment and incurred other costs of $180,000 principally related to employee
costs during the technology transfer period.
The Company could receive milestone payments of up to $1,250,000 upon
Intracel's achievement of certain milestones, including, among other things, the
approval by the FDA of the 510(k) application submitted by Zynaxis for U.S.
marketing approval of the Zymmune CD4/CD8 Cell Monitoring Kit ("FDA approval")
and certain manufacturing milestones.
Disputes have arisen between the Company and Intracel regarding certain
provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement. On or about November 14, 1995,
Intracel was notified that FDA approval had been granted. On February 7, 1996,
the Company was notified by Intracel that Intracel was withholding payment of a
$500,000 milestone payment due upon FDA approval, asserting that final approval
had not been received, along with other claims. The Company is considering
options available to it regarding collection of this milestone payment. The
Company has given no financial statement recognition to this milestone payment
pending its final resolution.
There can be no assurance that Intracel will be able to achieve any of
the other remaining milestones.
Zynaxis will be entitled to royalties on future sales, if any, of the
Zymmune CD4/CD8 Cell Monitoring Kit and certain related technologies.
Note 5 -- Pro Forma Information: Secretech Merger and Diagnostic Divestitures
The unaudited consolidated results of operations on a pro forma basis
as if the acquisition of Secretech and the divestiture of the diagnostic
technologies discussed in Notes 3 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods are as follows:

Note 6 -- Impairment of Cauldron Asset Value
In efforts to raise capital, and in conjunction with the Vaxcel Merger,
the Company has been soliciting bids from third parties who may have an interest
in purchasing the Cauldron operations and related assets. The net book value of
the Cauldron assets at December 31, 1996 was $1,752,130. Notwithstanding the
aforementioned, the most recent bid that the Company has received for the
Cauldron assets is significantly less than this amount. Accordingly,
conservative measures have been taken and the entire Cauldron asset base has
been reduced to $600,000. The difference between the net book value and $600,000
is shown as a Provision for Asset Impairment in 1996. See Note 13 regarding the
Company's operating lease commitment.
Note 7 -- Vaxcel Merger Agreement
On December 6, 1996, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with
CytRx, Vaxcel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytRx, and Vaxcel Merger Sub, a
newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Vaxcel, which provides for the merger
of Vaxcel Merger Sub with and into Zynaxis, with the effect that Zynaxis, as the
surviving corporation resulting from the Merger, will be a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Vaxcel.
Upon consummation of the Merger, shares of Common Stock of Zynaxis will
be exchanged for the right to receive a number of shares of Vaxcel Common Stock
equal to an exchange ratio defined in the Merger Agreement (approximately
.0947). Shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be
exchanged for the right to receive a number of shares of Vaxcel Common Stock
equal to two times the exchange ratio. CytRx will own approximately 87.5% of
Vaxcel Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger.
Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Zynaxis and
CytRx entered into a secured loan agreement in order for the Company to have
sufficient funding for continuing operations until the Merger is approved by
shareholder vote and consummated, anticipated to be in the first half of April
1997. CytRx agreed to loan up to $2,000,000 to the Company on a secured basis.
At December 31, 1996, $975,000 had been advanced and was used in settling a
major portion of the Company's outstanding liabilities as well as funding
December operations. All advances accrue interest at a rate of prime plus 2%.
Upon the consummation of the Merger between Zynaxis and Vaxcel, CytRx will
contribute to Vaxcel an amount of funding equal to the outstanding principal and
interest of the loan, as well as additional amounts specified in the
-26-
<PAGE> 28
Merger Agreement. Another agreement entered into in connection with the Merger
Agreement provides for the sale of substantially all assets of the Company.
The transaction documents further provide that Zynaxis preferred
stockholders who also hold warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock, and
three other warrant holders, will exchange the Zynaxis warrants for warrants to
purchase Vaxcel Common Stock. Additionally, certain shareholders who hold
convertible notes issued by Zynaxis will exchange such notes for shares of
Vaxcel Common Stock.
Upon execution of the Merger Agreement, a Technology Development
Agreement was also executed by the Company and Vaxcel relating to the
development of the Company's vaccine delivery technology pending the Merger.
Note 8 -- Securities
At December 31, 1996, the Company held no securities. All securities at
December 31, 1995 were classified as available-for-sale and were carried at fair
value. The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115 had no
effect on the Company's accumulated deficit or stockholders' equity as fair
market value equals the investments' amortized cost.
Note 9 -- Accrued Expenses
Accrued expenses at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, consisted

Note 10 -- Notes Payable to Shareholders
On December 28, 1995, the Company issued a $150,000 Demand Promissory
Note (the "December 1995 Note") to one of its principal shareholders. A general
partner of the shareholder is a member of the Board of Directors. On February
29, 1996, the holder of the December 1995 Note converted the outstanding
principal balance and all accrued interest thereon to Common Stock with transfer
restrictions, as described in Note 14 below.
-27-
<PAGE> 29
On May 3, 1996, the Company issued Demand Promissory Notes (the "May
1996 Notes") aggregating $200,000 to two of its principal shareholders. A
general partner of one shareholder and the president of another shareholder are
members of the Board of Directors. These May 1996 Notes bear interest at the
annual rate of 11 1/4% and are due on the earlier of (i) the receipt by the
Company of proceeds from the sale of Cauldron aggregating at least $1,000,000 or
(ii) upon demand if the closing on the sale of Cauldron does not occur by
September 30, 1996. The May 1996 Notes are convertible at the option of the
holder into an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at any
time prior to repayment. In connection with the issuance of the May 1996 Notes,
the Company issued warrants with five year terms to purchase 200,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
On June 7, 1996, the Company issued a $250,000 Demand Promissory Note
to another of its principal shareholders. This note was canceled and reissued on
July 17, 1996 due to a revision of the repayment terms (the "July 1996 Note").
This July 1996 Note bears interest at the annual rate of 11 1/4% and is due on
the earlier of (i) the receipt by the Company of proceeds from the sale of
Cauldron aggregating at least $1,000,000 or (ii) upon demand if the closing on
the sale of Cauldron does not occur by October 15, 1996. This July 1996 Note is
convertible at the option of the holder into an aggregate of 150,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock at any time prior to repayment. In connection with
the issuance, the Company also issued a warrant with a five year term to
purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$1.00 per share.
The value of these 225,000 warrants, relating to the May 1996 Notes and
the July 1996 Note, has been deemed to be $60,000 for accounting purposes and
was expensed in 1996 as a component of interest expense.
In conjunction with the signing of the Merger Agreement in December
1996, a Note Exchange Agreement was entered into whereby two of these three
notes payable to shareholders will be exchanged for Vaxcel Common Stock upon
consummation of the Merger.
Note 11 -- Note Payable to CytRx
As discussed in Note 7, the Company has entered into a Merger Agreement
with Vaxcel, an Atlanta based vaccine technology company. In conjunction with
the Merger Agreement, Zynaxis also entered into a secured loan agreement with
CytRx, Vaxcel's parent company. The terms of the loan agreement allow for the
Company to borrow up to $2,000,000 from CytRx between December 1996 and the
closing of the Merger, anticipated to be in the first half of April 1997.
Proceeds from any amounts borrowed are to be used to satisfy accounts payable
and accrued expenses as well as to fund operations until the transaction is
completed. Through December 31, 1996, the Company had borrowed a total of
$975,000. The borrowings accrue interest at prime plus 2%. Interest expense on
these borrowings totaled $5,090 for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Other Note Payable
In 1989, the Company issued a ten-year note to the then lessor of its
office and research facility to finance certain leasehold and other
improvements. The note, with interest at 13%, was fully collateralized by a
certificate of deposit, which had been categorized as restricted cash in prior
years. During 1996, the Company was frequently unable to make the monthly
payments on a timely basis as required by the terms of the note. In November
1996, the holder of the note agreed to accept the full amount of the collateral
certificate of deposit, $91,142, in satisfaction of all obligations under the
note.

Rent expense on the Company's leased facility in Malvern, Pennsylvania
was $411,856 in 1996, $439,609 in 1995, and $405,173 in 1994.
Management believes the Company's operating lease commitment will be
transferred to the buyer of the Cauldron assets. If the Cauldron assets are not
sold, management believes that the related facility, or a portion thereof, will
be sublet to cover the commitment. If the Company is unable to find a new tenant
for the facility, either through the Cauldron sale or subletting, the related
commitments could be accelerated (See Notes 1 and 6).
Deferred Rent Expense
The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis and records
the excess of rent expense over cash paid as deferred rent. During November
1996, the Company's lease was amended to reduce the occupied space from 39,200
square feet to 23,460 square feet, a 40% reduction. As a result of the
amendment, the deferred rent liability was reduced and booked as a reduction of
marketing, general and administrative expense in 1996. Deferred rent was $47,880
and $107,285 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, with $22,982 and
$29,988 classified as current at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Note 14 -- Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
On February 29, 1996, the Company completed a private placement of
Common Stock with transfer restrictions, raising proceeds of $500,000.
Additionally, a $150,000 short-term promissory note payable held by a related
party, plus accrued interest of $2,582, was converted to Common Stock with
transfer restrictions on February 29, 1996.
-30-
<PAGE> 32
Under terms of the above agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of
652,582 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share. Additionally, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 195,775 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share.
In June 1995, the Company had entered into a Business Development
Consulting Agreement with a principal shareholder, of which the president is a
member of the Board of Directors. The terms of the one year agreement stated
that a portion of the compensation was to be in shares of Common Stock. In
November 1996, the Company issued 34,548 shares of Common Stock in settlement of
the amounts owed.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
In 1995, the Company issued 1,500,000 of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock ("Preferred Stock") at $2.00 per share for aggregate proceeds, net of
offering costs, of $2,712,535. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into
two shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per share.
In 1996, a holder of Preferred Stock converted 87,500 shares of
Preferred Stock into 175,000 shares of Common Stock.
Stock Warrants
At December 31, 1996, there were warrants issued and outstanding to
purchase an aggregate of 3,647,189 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from
$1.325 to $7.035 and expiration dates ranging from 1998 through 2007.
As discussed above, in connection with (i) the completion of a private
placement in February 1996 and (ii) the conversion of a short-term note into
equity in February 1996, the Company issued 195,775 warrants to purchase Common
Stock at $1.00 per share.
As discussed in Note 10, in connection with the issuance of the May
1996 Notes and the July 1996 Note, the Company issued warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 225,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share.
In addition to the above, as part of the 1995 private placement, the
Company issued 1,500,000 warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Common
Stock. Each warrant is exercisable for two shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share. The warrants have five year terms and contain certain
automatic termination conditions.
In connection with a royalty abatement agreement entered into in 1995,
the Company issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $1.325 per share. These warrants expire on December 31, 2007.
-31-
<PAGE> 33
A five year warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00
per share was issued in December 1995 in connection with the issuance of a note
payable.
Warrants to purchase 11,414 shares of Common Stock at $7.035 per share
are currently outstanding. These warrants were issued to the lessor upon the
execution of certain capital leases. These capital leases for laboratory and
office equipment have since expired and been bought out.
Stock Option Plan
The Company's stock option plan reserves shares of Common Stock for
issuance upon the exercise of incentive and nonqualified stock options. On July
27, 1995, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the number of
shares issuable under the Company's Amended and Restated 1989 Stock Option Plan
from 800,000 to 1,750,000. Incentive stock options are granted at market value
or above, and non-qualified stock options are granted at a price fixed by the
Board of Directors on the grant date. Options are exercisable for five to ten
years from the grant date and generally vest over a four-year period. Options
granted after December 31, 1991 are exercisable for ten years from the date of
grant.
The Company accounts for this plan under APB Opinion No. 25 under which
no compensation cost has been recognized.
Had compensation cost for this plan been determined consistent with
FASB Statement No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have
been increased to the following pro forma amounts:

Because the Statement 123 method of accounting has not been applied to
options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation
cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years.
At December 31, 1996, 98,070 options had been exercised, 394,634 were
exercisable at prices ranging from $.7035 to $7.125, and 755,021 shares of
Common Stock remained available for grant. A summary of the status of the
Company's stock option plan at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and changes during the
years then ended are presented in the table and narrative below.

404,634 of the 906,909 options outstanding at December 31, 1996 have
exercise prices between $0.70 and $7.13, with a weighted average exercise price
of $3.44 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of seven years. All
of these options are exercisable. The remaining 502,275 options outstanding at
December 31, 1996 have exercise prices between $0.70 and $7.13, with a weighted
average exercise price of $3.71 and a weighted average remaining contractual
life of seven years.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants in 1995: risk-free interest rates ranging from 5.7%
to 7.2%, expected dividend yield of $0, expected life of seven years and
expected volatility of 70%. No options were granted in 1996.
In December 1995, 10,000 stock options outside of the Amended and
Restated 1989 Stock Option Plan were granted to a board member. These options
became fully vested in June 1996 at an exercise price of $0.875.
401(k) Savings Plan
In June 1994, the Company began to provide a match to the contributions
to the Zynaxis Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") comprised of both cash and
Company stock. In July 1996, the cash portion of the match was eliminated and
the match was comprised entirely of Company stock. The shares are generally
contributed quarterly and valued at the closing market price on the last day of
each quarter. The Company contributed 12,973 and 12,836 shares to the Plan
during 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Note 15 -- 401(k) Savings Plan
In 1994, the Company began making matching contributions to the Plan.
The matching contribution is determined each year by the Board of Directors and
vests over four years with credit given for prior service. For the year ended
December 31, 1996, the Company contributed 50% of the salary deferred by
participants, up to a maximum of 4% of each participant's deferred salary. For
the first half of 1996, the matching contribution was equally comprised of the
Company's Common Stock and cash. Effective July 1, 1996, the Board resolved to
eliminate the
-33-
<PAGE> 35
cash aspect of the match, thereby making the entire match in Company stock. The
matching contributions are made on a quarterly basis and the shares of the
Company's Common Stock which are contributed are valued at the closing market
price on the last business day of the quarter. Total Company contributions to
the Plan, in both cash and stock, were $19,659 in 1996 and $30,641 in 1995. In
1997, the Board of Directors resolved that the Zynaxis Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
would be terminated effective January 7, 1997.
Note 16 -- Income Taxes
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $31,000,000. The net operating loss and credit
carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2003, if not utilized.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains various provisions that limit the
utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards if there has been
an ownership change. Such an ownership change as described in Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code may limit the Company's utilization of its net operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. Additionally, a portion of the net operating
loss carryforward relating to the 1995 Secretech acquisition (see Note 3) are
subject to SRLY restrictions as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The
proposed Merger with Vaxcel (Notes 1 and 6), if consummated, will significantly
limit the availability of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amount reported for income tax purposes. Significant
components of the Company's deferred tax assets for federal and state income
taxes as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

Note 17 -- Collaborative, Contract and Grant Revenues
Collaboration with ALK A/S
In October 1995, the Company announced a development and licensing
agreement with ALK A/S ("ALK"), a leading European pharmaceutical company in the
field of allergy
-34-
<PAGE> 36
immunotherapy. The collaboration involves certain of the technologies acquired
in the merger with Secretech relating to bioactive substance delivery
technology.
Under the terms of the ALK development and licensing collaboration, the
Company has received payments aggregating $1,000,000. $250,000 was received in
November 1995 and three additional payments totaling $750,000 were received
during 1996. These amounts are reflected in collaborative, contract and grant
revenues. The Company incurred costs related to the ALK collaboration of
approximately $200,000 and $500,000 in 1995 and 1996, respectively. This
agreement can be unilaterally terminated by either party in certain
circumstances and with notification periods stated in the agreement. During
1996, the Company also provided ALK with significant research and development
support of the licensed technology for which it received additional revenues of
$36,000 based on costs incurred.
The Company will receive a royalty of 7% on net sales of products that
utilize the Company's technology, increasing based upon certain sales criteria
established within the agreement. The Company could also receive additional
milestone payments of up to $2,000,000 based upon either FDA or certain other
regulatory approvals of additional products using the Company's vaccine delivery
technologies. There can be no assurance that ALK will ever obtain the
appropriate regulatory approvals, or will ever generate any sales using the
technology licensed from the Company.
Should the Company receive royalties under this agreement, it will be
required to pay approximately 3% of the net sales of the licensed product to the
original patent holder of the technology.
Contract Manufacturing
During 1996, the Company's Cauldron division had a substantial increase
in business with third parties in providing process chemistry and pilot
manufacturing services to other biotechnology, pharmaceutical and chemical
organizations. Revenue recognized in connection with these contracts totaled
$809,000 and $45,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Grant Revenue
For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company recognized
$311,000 and $251,000, respectively, pursuant to a SBIR grant awarded by the
National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Revenues recognized approximate costs
incurred. This grant is funding the preclinical development of Zyn-Linker
molecules linked with heparin and the investigation of their ability to inhibit
post-angioplasty restenosis and local thrombosis. In July 1996, this grant was
extended until June 1997. At December 31, 1996, the grant has a balance of
$198,000.
During 1996, the Company received a Phase I SBIR grant for up to
$100,000 to develop Zyn-Linker molecules linked with Taxol and for the
investigation of their ability to inhibit post-angioplasty restenosis and local
thrombosis. The Company has recorded $88,000 of revenue
-35-
<PAGE> 37
related to this grant for the year ended December 31, 1996. Revenues recognized
approximate costs incurred.
Notwithstanding the January 1997 purchase by Phanos of the Zyn-Linker
technology, the studies conducted under these grants will continue to be
performed by Zynaxis. However, any patents, inventions or other intellectual
property that may arise from this SBIR research will become the property of
Phanos.
Collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company
The Company's agreement with Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") to apply
the Company's drug delivery technology to vascular drugs which have the
potential to reduce the rate of restenosis after angioplasty was terminated by
Lilly, effective in August 1994. The Company recognized revenues of $749,122
under this agreement in 1994.
Various Other Collaborations
During 1996, in an effort to obtain on-going collaborative
arrangements, the Company entered into a few small collaborative agreements,
primarily related to the Zyn-Linker technology as it pertains to oligonucleotide
studies. Total revenue recognized under these agreements was $56,000.
Note 18 -- Other Income
Sublease Income
As a result of the divestiture of the diagnostics technologies in 1995,
the Company had certain laboratory and office space that was not being utilized.
In order to fully maximize the leased facility, Zynaxis began to sublet portions
of its laboratory and office space to independent third parties in 1995. These
sublease arrangements continued until November 1996, when the Company's lease
was amended to decrease the total square footage occupied by Zynaxis. Rental
income recognized under the sublease arrangements was $238,000 and $139,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Royalty Income
As discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
through November 1996 Zynaxis continued to manufacture and distribute the
research and diagnostic reagents for Phanos, pursuant to the June 1995
agreement. In accordance with the agreement between the two companies, Zynaxis
realized a 10% royalty in exchange for providing these manufacturing and
distribution services, subject to certain minimum royalty amounts. Royalty
income recognized was $46,400 and $13,800 for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
-36-
<PAGE> 38
Seloc
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during
1996 the Company entered into a binding letter of intent with Seloc for the sale
of Cauldron. In conjunction with this letter, Seloc made an option payment in
the amount of $100,000, which, except under limited circumstances, would be
nonrefundable if the sale of Cauldron were not consummated. For reasons beyond
Zynaxis' control, in August 1996 Seloc decided not to proceed with the
acquisition, at which time the $100,000 was recognized as other income.
Asset Sales
In conjunction with the November 1996 lease amendment and in
anticipation of the consummation of the Merger, the Company began to sell
various fixed assets during the fourth quarter of 1996. A net gain on these
asset disposals of $131,600 was recorded in other income on the statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Note 19 -- Related Party Transactions
As described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Company issued a $150,000 note to a related party in December 1995. This note
was extinguished in February 1996 as the note plus accrued interest, totaling
$152,582, was converted to equity.
As discussed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
business development services were rendered to the Company by a consulting firm
of which a director of the Company is President and sole shareholder. Terms of
the consulting agreement provided that a portion of the fees be paid in Company
stock. The Company issued 34,548 shares of Common Stock in November 1996 in
settlement of this obligation. The number of shares issued was based upon the
fair market value of the services provided.
Consulting services were provided to the Company by a director of the
Company who was the former president of Secretech. This consulting arrangement
commenced on September 30, 1995 and ended September 30, 1996. Under the terms of
the agreement, the director was entitled to compensation at the annual rate of
$135,000 through March 31, 1996 and at an annual rate of $150,000 from April
through September 1996. During 1996, the Company recognized expense of $108,750
related to this agreement.

CYTRX CORPORATION
NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. DETERMINATION OF PURCHASE PRICE
The purchase price for Zynaxis was determined in accordance with APB 16
and was based upon a number of objective and subjective factors including, but
not limited to (a) reference to the $4 million cash contribution being made to
Vaxcel by CytRx for the same number of shares of Vaxcel Common Stock as were
exchanged for the outstanding shares of Zynaxis Common Stock, (b) reference to
the market price of Zynaxis Common Stock during the negotiation period and
leading up to the execution of the Merger agreement, (c) Vaxcel management's
estimation that the outstanding liabilities, transaction costs and ongoing
operation costs of Zynaxis through the closing of the Merger would generally
offset the realizable value of tangible assets, such that the only material
assets of Zynaxis remaining as of the Effective Time of Merger would be
intangible assets consisting of technology rights and license agreements, (d)
Vaxcel management's assessment of the synergistic value of Zynaxis' oral and
mucusal vaccine delivery technology in combination with its own injectible
technology in attracting corporate sponsors, facilitating technology licenses
and other fund raising activities, and providing a greater balance to
shareholders, and (e) the fact that Vaxcel will acquire a license agreement with
ALK.
APB 16 states that the cost of an acquired company is measured by the
fair value of the consideration received. As there was no trading market for the
Vaxcel Common Stock prior to the Merger, an objective measurement of its fair
value was difficult to ascertain. Based upon the factors stated above, the
$4,000,000 cash contribution by CytRx was used as the basis to assign a value to
the purchase price and of the consideration to be exchanged. Even though the
cash contribution by CytRx to Vaxcel was not at arms'-length (and therefore may
not necessarily represent the fair value of Vaxcel Common Stock), management
determined that this was the most objective evidence available in the absence of
an active trading market for the Vaxcel Common Stock. This valuation has been
corroborated by an independent valuation of Zynaxis' assets which indicated a
value of approximately $3,600,000 for the Developed Technology (as defined
below), which is the primary asset being acquired by Vaxcel, given its current
business strategy.
2. ACCOUNTING FOR MERGER AND ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE
The Merger has been accounted for as a purchase transaction with Vaxcel
as the acquiring company. The $4 million purchase price has been allocated to
the fair market values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
In accordance with the provisions of APB Nos. 16 and 17, all
identifiable assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, were
assigned a portion of the purchase price on the basis of their fair values. To
this end, an independent valuation of Zynaxis' assets (the "Acquired
-43-
<PAGE> 45
Assets") was performed and used as an aid in determining the fair value of the
identifiable assets in allocating the purchase price among the Acquired Assets.
A summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the Acquired
Assets is as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Net tangible assets, less outstanding liabilities $ (979,915)(1)
Developed technology 3,600,000
In-process research and development
(charged to accumulated deficit) 1,015,136
----------
$4,000,000
</TABLE>
(1) Adjusted for conversion of Zynaxis Notes into Vaxcel Common Stock.
The capitalized value of the intangible assets acquired will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years. This period was
determined based upon an analysis of competitive technology under development
which may render the Zynaxis technology obsolete. Consideration was also given
to the fact the Zynaxis' base science will have many alternative uses during
that time as many different vaccines may incorporate the technology. Property
and equipment acquired from Zynaxis is being depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated remaining useful lives.
3. DIVESTITURE OF CAULDRON
On March 21, 1997, Zynaxis entered into an agreement to sell
substantially all of the assets of the Cauldron division, which was consummated
upon the approval of the Merger by the Zynaxis shareholders on May 21, 1997.
