REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Bioject Medical Technologies Inc:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. (an Oregon corporation) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2000. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries, as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

    The consolidated financial statements of Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. (the "Company"), include the accounts of Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. ("BMTI"), an Oregon corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bioject Inc., an Oregon corporation ("Bioject"), and Marathon Medical Technologies Inc. ("Marathon Medical") (formerly Bioject JV Subsidiary Inc.), an Oregon corporation. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Bioject Inc. commenced operations in 1985. Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. was formed in December 1992 for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of Bioject Medical Systems Ltd., a Company organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, in a stock-for-stock exchange in order to establish a U.S. domestic corporation as the publicly traded parent company of Bioject Inc. and Bioject Medical Systems Ltd. Bioject Medical Systems Ltd. was terminated in fiscal 1997. Marathon Medical was formed in October 1997. At that time, Marathon acquired the license to certain continuous blood glucose monitoring technology from Elan Corporation, plc. ("Elan") and entered into a joint venture arrangement with Elan to develop and commercialize the blood glucose monitoring technology. In connection with the sale of the license, BMTI acquired Elan's 19.9% ownership of the stock of Marathon. BMTI now owns 100% of Marathon's stock. Marathon's operations are reported as "Discontinued Operations" in the financial statements and other financial information included as part of this report. All references to the Company include Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.

    The Company commenced operations in 1985 for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and distributing a new drug delivery system. Since its formation, the Company has been engaged principally in organizational, financing, research and development, and marketing activities. In the last quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company launched U.S. distribution of its Biojector 2000 system primarily to the hospital and large clinic market. The Company's products and manufacturing operations are subject to extensive government regulation, both in the U.S. and abroad. In the U.S., the development, manufacture, marketing and promotion of medical devices is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FFDCA"). In 1987, the Company received 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA allowing the Company to market a hand-held CO2-powered jet injection system. In June 1994, the Company received clearance from the FDA under 510(k) to market a version of its Biojector® 2000 system in a configuration targeted at high volume injection applications. In October 1996, the Company received 510(k) clearance for a non needle disposable vial access device. In March 1997, the Company received additional 510(k) clearance for certain enhancements to its Biojector 2000 system. In January 1999, the Company received ISO9001 and EN46001 certification and in November 1999, the Company received CE Mark Certification for the Company's jet injection systems which allows the products to be sold in the European Union. In March 1998, the Company entered into a transaction with Vitajet Corporation ("Vitajet") whereby the Company acquired, along with certain other assets, the rights to the Vitajet®, a spring-powered, needle-free self-injection device which currently has regulatory clearance for administering injections of insulin. In September 1997, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Elan for the development and commercialization of certain blood glucose monitoring technology which the company licensed from Elan. In June 1999, Marathon completed a sale of the license to the blood glucose monitoring technology, along with certain fixed assets related to development of that technology.

    Since its inception, the Company has incurred operating losses and at March 31, 2000, has an accumulated deficit of approximately $61 million. The Company's revenues to date have been derived primarily from licensing and technology fees for the jet injection technology and from limited product sales of the Biojector 2000 system and Biojector syringes. The product sales were principally sales to dealers to

6


stock their inventories. More recently, the Company has sold its products to end-users, primarily public health clinics for vaccinations and to nursing organizations for flu immunization. Future revenues will depend upon acceptance and use by healthcare providers and on the Company successfully entering into license and supply agreements with major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Uncertainties over government regulation and competition in the healthcare industry may impact healthcare provider expenditures and third party payer reimbursements and, accordingly, the Company cannot predict what impact, if any, subsequent healthcare reforms and industry trends might have on its business. In the future, the Company is likely to require substantial additional financing. Failure to obtain such financing on favorable terms could adversely affect the Company's business.

    To date, the Company's revenues have not been sufficient to cover manufacturing and operating expenses. However, the Company believes that if its products attain significantly greater general market acceptance and if the Company is able to enter into large volume supply agreements with major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, the Company's product sales volume will increase. Significantly higher product sales volumes will allow the Company to realize volume-related manufacturing cost efficiencies. This, in turn, will result in a reduced costs of goods as a percentage of sales, eventually allowing the Company to achieve positive gross profit. The Company believes that positive gross profit from product sales, together with licensing and technology revenues from agreements entered into with large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies will eventually allow the Company to operate profitably. The level of revenues required to generate net income will be affected by a number of factors including the mix of revenues between product sales and licensing and technology fees, pricing of the Company's products, its ability to attain volume-related and automation-related manufacturing efficiencies, and the impact of inflation on the Company's manufacturing and other operating costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve sufficient cost reductions or sell its products at prices or in volumes sufficient to achieve profitability or offset increases in its costs should they occur.

2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers cash equivalents to consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months.

INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined in a manner which approximates the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Costs utilized for inventory valuation purposes include labor, materials and manufacturing overhead. Net inventories consist of the following:

March 31,

  2000
  1999
Raw materials and components   $ 253,120   $ 289,214
Work-in-process     3,764    
Finished goods     576,532     961,972
     
 
    $ 833,416   $ 1,251,186
     
 

7


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    For financial statement purposes, depreciation expense on property and equipment is computed on the straight-line method using the following lives:

Furniture and Fixtures   5 years
Machinery and Equipment   7 years
Computer Equipment   3 years
Production Molds   5 years

    Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining term of the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

OTHER ASSETS

    Other assets include costs incurred for the application for patents, totaling $673,113 and $614,369 March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years. Accumulated amortization totaled $226,790 and $204,713 at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 totaled $30,000 for each year.

    Also included in other assets is the cost of assets acquired from Vitajet Corporation in a stock for assets exchange. In March 1998, the Company paid 20,000 shares of its common stock for certain molds, tooling, patent rights and customer lists, the value of which totaled $134,400 at the date of acquisition and is being amortized over 15 years.

ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121), which requires the Company to review for impairment of its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. The Company does not believe that an adjustment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets is necessary, based on its strategic plan. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital and continue as a going concern, certain adjustments to the carrying value of the long-lived assets may be necessary.

REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR PRODUCT SALES

    The Company records revenue from sales of its products upon shipment. In fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, sales to one customer (different for each period presented) accounted for 10%, 7% and 12%, respectively, of net sales of products. At March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 accounts receivable from one customer (different for each period presented) accounted for 51%, 68%, and 19%, respectively, of total accounts receivable.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSING/TECHNOLOGY REVENUES

    Prior to December 1999, licensing fees were recognized as revenue when due and payable since such fees were non-refundable and imposed no future performance requirements or other obligations on the

8


Company. In December 1999, the SEC Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." In accordance with SAB 101, all licensing revenue subsequent to December 1999 will be recognized over the term of the license. There was no cumulative effect of such accounting change since as of December 1999 all prior licensing agreements had been terminated.

    Product development revenue is recognized on a percentage of completion basis as qualifying expenditures are incurred. Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred.

    HOFFMAN-LA ROCHE.  In January 1995, the Company entered into a joint development and exclusive licensing and distribution agreement with Hoffman-LaRoche, a major pharmaceutical company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to develop the B-2020, a product with specific application to certain Roche products. The Company received a licensing fee totaling $500,000, which was recognized as revenue in fiscal 1995. The Company also received product development fees on an agreed schedule. In fiscal 1996, the Company received $900,000, of which $399,000 was recognized as revenue. In fiscal 1997, the Company received $250,000 in product development fees and recognized revenue of $501,000. In fiscal 1998, the Company received $250,000 in product development fees and recognized revenue of $500,000. In June 1999, Roche advised the Company that because of the additional time and cost required to gain regulatory clearance to use the B-2020 in conjunction with the Roche products and because of an overall change in its marketing strategy for the products in question, it does not intend to pursue distributing the B-2020 and is relinquishing its exclusive rights to the product.

    ELAN CORPORATION.  On September 30, 1997, the Company signed a binding letter agreement (the "Agreement") with Elan Corporation, plc the goals of which included the development and commercialization of Elan's blood glucose monitoring technology and a collaborative arrangement to further develop the Company's jet injection technology. Among various terms, all of which were determined in arms-length negotiation, the Agreement provided for:

9


    Final closing agreements were signed among the Company, Elan and the Company's new subsidiary on October 15, 1997. On that date, the $3 million investment in the Company was made by Elan and approximately 545,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 350,000 shares at $12.50 per share were issued. Elan loaned Bioject $12.015 million which Bioject transferred to the new subsidiary in exchange for 801,000 shares of the subsidiary's common stock. Elan invested $2.985 million in the new subsidiary in exchange for 199,000 shares of the subsidiary's common stock. The new subsidiary paid $15 million to Elan as its initial payment on the licensing agreement.

    In February 1998, the Company's shareholders approved the exchange of the long-term promissory note plus accrued interest for Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance to Elan of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or other similar convertible preferred stock to fund Marathon Medical's development work. Accordingly, on March 2, 1998, a total of 692,694 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 134,333 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were issued to Elan and the promissory note was cancelled.

    As of September 30, 1997, the Company recorded an expense of $15 million related to acquired in-process research and development expenditures. Such expense related to the blood glucose monitoring technology that had not yet established technological feasibility and at that time had no alternate future uses. Accounting rules required that such costs be charged to expense as incurred.

    In March 1999, the Company issued 391,830 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Elan for $2.4 million to continue to fund the development of the blood glucose monitoring technology.

    In May 1999, rather than continue to fund the cost of its development, the Company entered into negotiations to sell Marathon's blood glucose monitoring technology, and certain fixed assets related to developing the technology, to a third party. The sale was completed on June 30, 1999. The gross proceeds of the sale were $4 million. The gain realized on the sale was approximately $2.9 million, net of associated expenses of the transaction and a $500,000 provision for expenses to wind-up Marathon's operations. Accordingly, Marathon's assets, liabilities, loss from operations, gain on sale and cash flows are reported as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying financial statements.

    In connection with the sale the Company's purchase of Elan's interest in Marathon at June 30, 1999, the Company and Elan agreed to certain changes in the terms of Elan's Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Stock" and "Series B Stock"). The modified terms fixed the conversion price of the Series A Stock at $7.50, eliminating a prior provision that, in certain circumstances, allowed the Series A Stock to be converted at 80% of the then current fair market value of the Company's stock, if

10


such value was less than $7.50. The terms were also modified to give the Company the right to redeem the Series A Stock for cash within ninety days of receiving notice of the intent to redeem all or part of the Series A Stock into common stock of the Company. The redemption price is the original issuance price of the Series A Stock being converted plus accumulated preferred stock dividends thereon from the date of issuance of the Series A Stock. Elan also exchanged its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock"), which would have been convertible into a minimum of 268,000 shares of the Company's common stock without additional cash payments, for a Warrant that expires June 30, 2006 (the "Warrant"), to purchase 758,000 shares of Bioject's common stock for $7.50 per share. The Company has the right to redeem the Warrant if it is exercised prior to June 30, 2004. Under the redemption provisions, if Elan notifies the Company that it intends to exercise all or any part of the Warrant to acquire stock in the Company, the Company has the right to redeem the Warrant by paying Elan cash of $2.015 million, the original issuance price of the Series B Stock, plus accrued interest at 15%, compounded semi-annually from June 30, 1999. If Elan chooses to exercise less than all of the shares covered by the Warrant, Bioject may exercise its redemption right either for all of the shares covered by the warrant or for only that portion being exercised, in which case the payment is prorated in proportion to the portion of the warrant being exercised.

    The terms of the sale of the blood glucose monitoring technology also provide for the Company to receive a royalty on net sales of future products, if any, which may be developed in the future from the licensed technology. The agreement calls for a royalty of three percent of net sales until the Company has received total royalty payments of $10 million. The agreement then calls for a royalty of one percent of net sales thereafter. There can be no assurance that future products will be successfully developed from the blood glucose monitoring technology or that such products, if developed, will be commercially successful. See Note 3—"Discontinued Operations."

    MERCK & CO.  In July 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Merck & Co. which provided Merck limited-term rights to use the B-2000 needle-free injection system with selected Merck vaccines. As part of the agreement, the Company also granted Merck exclusive rights to negotiate a long-term license to the B-2000 for certain medical indications. The Company received $1.5 million in fees under this agreement in the year ended March 31, 1999. In February 1999, citing a refinement in its vaccine development strategy, Merck advised the Company that it would not continue discussions to seek long-term license rights to the Company's technology.

    AMGEN INC.  In June 1999, the Company entered into a binding letter agreement, which provided for an evaluation of Bioject's jet injection technology for use with certain biopharmaceutical products. Terms of the agreement provided for up to $500,000 in licensing and technology fees based upon meeting certain milestones. Based upon achievement of the milestones per the binding letter agreement, the Company recorded revenue of $500,000 during fiscal 2000.

    On February 29, 2000, after successful completion of the milestones mentioned above, Amgen and the Company entered into a clinical development and supply agreement. In connection with the agreement, Amgen made a $1.5 million equity investment for 65,796 shares of Bioject's common stock on mutually agreed terms. Amgen received an exclusive license to the Iject technology for the delivery of Amgen products for two indications. Amgen also received options to further license the technology for delivery of certain other Amgen products for other indications.

11


    The agreement includes up to $3.1 million in future payments to Bioject, including payments linked to developmental milestones, option payments to include other Amgen drugs in the current agreement, and payments to support ongoing product development, clinical supplies, and tooling expenses. Payments in connection with the product development support are recorded using the percentage of completion method. Additional milestone payments will be recognized when achieved. In addition, the agreement outlines a potential future commercial supply agreement under which Bioject would provide Amgen with customized Iject systems.

    ANGIOSENSE INC.  In October 1999, Bioject announced a strategic alliance with AngioSense, Inc. to jointly develop innovative delivery systems to treat cardiovascular disease. Bioject's needle-free drug delivery systems will be modified for delivering bio-therapeutic solutions as a surgical instrument for minimally invasive surgical procedures with several proprietary catheters being developed by AngioSense for catheter-based cardiology interventions.

    The alliance grants AngioSense an exclusive license to Bioject's Biojector 2000® and Vitajet 3® jet injectors, as well as a customized version of Bioject's Iject, a single-use disposable jet injector with a self-contained, pre-filled medication cartridge to treat or diagnose cardiac or cardiovascular diseases. According to the terms of the agreement, Bioject received an equity position of approximately 10 percent in AngioSense upon completion of certain product development milestones. Bioject accomplished those milestones as of December 31, 1999. Since Angiosense is a start-up company and in the research and development phase and has not released a product on the market, the Company has not recorded an asset on the balance sheet to account for the equity interest due to significant uncertainties surrounding valuation and realization. In addition to a long-term manufacturing and supply agreement with AngioSense, Bioject will receive royalties on future product sales. Bioject will also receive significant funding to support the development of the disposable injector portion of the AngioSense delivery system. To date, the terms of the funding have yet to be mutually determined by the joint development team. At the time that the joint development team has determined the funding, it will then be accounted for on the percentage of completion method.

    ARES-SERONO, INC.  In December 1999, Bioject and Serono Laboratories, Inc., the U.S. affiliate of Ares-Serono, S.A., a leading biotechnology company headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, announced an exclusive license agreement in the U.S. and Canada to deliver Serono's Saizen® recombinant human growth hormone with a customized version of Bioject's Vitajet™ 3 needle-free delivery system. In connection with the agreement, Serono paid a license fee to Bioject and signed a definitive supply agreement that commences upon FDA clearance. The license fee is being recognized over the term of the agreement.

INCOME TAXES

    The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates for the years in which the taxes are expected to be paid. At March 31, 2000, the Company had total deferred tax assets of approximately $22 million, consisting principally of available net operating loss carryforwards. No benefit for these operating losses has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as they do

12


not satisfy the recognition criteria set forth in SFAS 109. Total deferred tax liabilities were insignificant as of March 31, 1999.

    As of March 31, 2000, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $49.3 million available to reduce future federal taxable income, which expire in 2001 through 2020. Approximately $3.3 million of the Company's carryforwards were generated as a result of deductions related to exercises of stock options. When utilized, this portion of the Company's carryforwards, as tax effected, will be accounted for as a direct increase to contributed capital rather than as a reduction of that year's provision for income taxes. The principal differences between net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes and the accumulated deficit result from capitalization of certain start-up costs and deductions related to the exercise of stock options for income tax purposes.

USE OF ESTIMATES

    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 of 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.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' expenses to conform to the current year's presentation.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME REPORTING

    In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). This statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The objective of SFAS 130 is to report a measure of all changes in the equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. The Company adopted SFAS 130 during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Comprehensive loss did not differ from currently reported net loss in the periods presented.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

    In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 is an amendment to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 137 establishes accounting and reporting standards for all derivative instruments. SFAS 137 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments and, accordingly, does not expect the adoption of SFAS 137 to have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the

13


weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares from stock options and other common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive.

    The Company was in a loss position for all periods presented and, accordingly there is no difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS since the common stock equivalents and the effect of convertible preferred stock under the "if-converted" method would be antidilutive.

    Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted net loss per share calculations because they would be antidilutive are as follows:

 
  Year Ended March 31,
 
  2000
  1999
  1998
Stock options and warrants   2,412,061   1,701,720   2,315,699
Convertible preferred stock   2,447,077   2,575,569   1,654,054
     
 
 
  Total   4,859,138   4,277,289   3,969,753
     
 
 

STOCK SPLIT

    All share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been retroactively adjusted for a 1:5 reverse stock split which was effective October 13, 1999.

3.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

    In May 1999, rather than continue to fund the cost of its development, the Company entered into negotiations to sell Marathon's blood glucose monitoring technology, and certain fixed assets related to developing the technology, to a third party. The sale was completed on June 30, 1999. The gross proceeds of the sale were $4.0 million. The gain realized on the sale was approximately $2.9 million, net of associated expenses of the transaction and a $500,000 provision for expenses to wind-up Marathon's operations. Accordingly, Marathon's assets, loss from operations, gain on sale and cash flows are reported as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying financial statements.

4.  401(K) RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN:

    The Company has a 401(k) Retirement Benefit Plan for its employees. All employees, subject to certain age and length of service requirements, are eligible to participate. The plan permits certain voluntary employee contributions to be excluded from the employees' current taxable income under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) and regulations thereunder. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company amended the plan to provide for voluntary employer matches of employee contributions up to 6% of salary and for discretionary profit sharing contributions to all employees. Such employer matches and contributions may be either in cash or Company common stock. For calendar 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company agreed to match 37.5% of employee contributions up to 6% of salary with Company stock. Effective April 1, 2000 the Company has agreed to match 50.0% of employee contributions up to 6% of salary with Company stock. In fiscal 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company recorded an expense of $25,642, $29,884, and $21,755, respectively, related to voluntary employer matches under the 401(k) Plan. The Board of Directors has reserved up to 40,000 shares of common stock for these voluntary employer

14


matches, of which 8,526 shares have been issued and 23,351 shares have been committed through March 31, 2000.

5.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

PREFERRED STOCK

    The Company has authorized 10 million shares of preferred stock to be issued from time to time with such designations and preferences and other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, as permitted by law and as fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. At March 31, 2000, the Company had preferred stock authorized and outstanding as follows (see also Note 2):

    Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Stock") accumulates dividends at 9% per annum, compounded semi-annually, payable in additional Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In connection with the Company's purchase of Elan's interest in Marathon at June 30, 1999, the Company and Elan agreed to certain changes in the terms of Elan's Series A Stock. The modified terms fixed the conversion price of the Series A Stock at $7.50, eliminating a prior provision that, in certain circumstances, allowed the Series A Stock to be converted at 80% of the then current fair market value of the Company's stock, if such value was less than $7.50. The terms were also modified to give the Company the right to redeem the Series A Stock for cash within ninety days of receiving notice of the intent to redeem all or part of the Series A Stock into common stock of the Company. The redemption price is the original issuance price of the Series A Stock being converted plus accumulated preferred stock dividends thereon from the date of issuance of the Series A Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has preference in liquidation to the common stock of the Company. A total of 692,694 shares with an original issuance value of $15.00 per share were issued.

    Series B Preferred Stock.  In connection with the Company's purchase of Elan's interest in Marathon, the Company and Elan agreed to certain changes in Elan's equity holdings in the Company. Elan exchanged its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock"), which would have been convertible into a minimum of 268,000 shares of the Company's common stock without additional cash payments, for a Warrant that expires June 30, 2006 (the "Warrant"), to purchase 758,000 shares of Bioject's common stock for $7.50 per share. The Company has the right to redeem the Warrant if it is exercised prior to June 30, 2004. Under the redemption provisions, if Elan notifies the Company that it intends to exercise all or any part of the Warrant to acquire stock in the Company, the Company has the right to redeem the Warrant by paying Elan cash of $2.015 million, the original issuance price of the Series B Stock, plus accrued interest at 15%, compounded semi-annually from June 30, 1999. If Elan chooses to exercise less than all of the shares covered by the Warrant, Bioject may exercise its redemption right either for all of the shares covered by the warrant or for only that portion being exercised, in which case the payment is prorated in proportion to the portion of the warrant being exercised.

    Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.  Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Stock") has all of the rights and preferences of the Series A Stock including optional conversion, optional redemption and mandatory conversion except that it does not accrue a mandatory dividend. It participates in any dividends paid pro rata with the common shareholders. Its issuance price is equal to ten times market value at the time it was issued. Its conversion price was equal to one-tenth of its issuance price. A total of 391,830 shares of Series C Stock with an original issuance value of $6.125 per share were issued and outstanding at March 31, 2000.

15


COMMON STOCK

    Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of record held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. No shares have been issued subject to assessment, and there are no preemptive or conversion rights and no provision for redemption, purchase or cancellation, surrender or sinking or purchase funds. Holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulate their shares in the election of directors.

    All share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been retroactively adjusted for a 1:5 reverse stock split which was effective October 13, 1999.

STOCK OPTIONS

    Options may be granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company by the Board of Directors under terms of the Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. 1992 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders on November 20, 1992 and adopted by the Board effective December 17, 1992. Under the terms of the Plan, eligible employees may receive statutory and nonstatutory stock options, stock bonuses and stock appreciation rights for purchase of shares of the Company's common stock at prices and vesting as determined by a committee of the Board. Except for options whose terms were extended, options granted under a prior plan maintain their previous option price, vesting and expiration dates. As amended in fiscal 1999 and 2000, a total of up to 1,050,000 shares of the Company's common stock, including options outstanding at the date of initial shareholder approval of the Plan, may be granted under the Plan. Options outstanding at March 31, 2000, will expire through September 2007.

    At March 31, 2000, the Company had options covering 70,299 shares of its common stock available for grant and 803,386 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to stock option exercises.

    At March 31, 1999 and 1998, 304,343 and 260,245 options, respectively, were exercisable at weighted average exercise prices of $4.25 per share and $4.55 per share, respectively.

    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), which establishes a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and requires additional disclosures for those companies that elect not to adopt the new method of accounting. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

    However, as prescribed by SFAS 123 the Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure purposes, the value of all options granted during fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

 
  Year ended March 31,
 
  2000
  1999
  1998
Risk-free interest rate   6%   6%   6%
Expected dividend yield   0%   0%   0%
Expected lives   1.5 years   1.5 years   1.5 years
Volatility   137%   97%   78%

    The total value of options granted during fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 totaled $3,186,216, $464,170 and $1,506,818, respectively, and is amortized on a pro forma basis over the vesting period of the options. Options generally vest equally over three years. If the Company had accounted for these plans in

17




accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have increased as reflected in the following pro forma amounts:

 
  Year ended March 31,
 
(In thousands, except per share amounts)

  2000
  1999
  1998
 
Net loss:                    
  As reported   $ (3,081 ) $ (7,076 ) $ (16,630 )
  Pro forma     (3,696 )   (7,378 )   (16,969 )
Basic and diluted loss per share:                    
  As reported     (0.53 )   (1.25 )   (3.59 )
  Pro forma     (0.68 )   (1.30 )   (3.65 )

    The above determination of pro forma expense has been calculated consistent with SFAS 123 which does not take into consideration limitations on exercisability and transferability imposed by the Company's Stock Incentive Plan. Further, the valuation model is heavily weighted to stock price volatility, even with a declining stock price, which tends to increase the calculated value. The actual value, if any, and, therefore, imputed pro forma expense, will vary based on the exercise date and the market price of the related common stock when sold.
