NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------
Nature of Business
- ------------------
Procept, Inc. ("Procept" or the "Company") is a biopharmaceutical company
currently engaged in the development of novel drugs for the prevention of HIV
and other infectious diseases. The Company is also seeking the acquisition or
in-license of drug development candidates that would benefit from Procept's
expertise in various therapeutic areas.
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology
industry including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its
competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel,
protection of proprietary technology, compliance with FDA government regulations
and the ability to obtain financing.
Plan of Operations
- ------------------
Since its inception Procept has generated no revenue from product sales. The
Company has not been profitable since inception and has incurred an accumulated
deficit of $59.2 million through March 31, 1998. Losses have resulted
principally from costs incurred in research and development activities related
to the Company's efforts to develop drug candidates and from the associated
administrative costs. The Company expects to incur significant additional
operating losses over the next several years and expects cumulative losses to
increase substantially due to preclinical and clinical testing and development
of marketing, sales and production capabilities.
Because of its continuing losses from operations, the Company will be required
to obtain additional funds within the next 12 to 24 months to satisfy its
ongoing capital needs and to continue operations. Although management continues
to pursue additional funding arrangements and/or strategic partnering there can
be no assurance that additional funding will be available from any of these
sources or, if available, will be available on acceptable or affordable terms.
If the Company is unable to enter into an additional corporate collaboration(s)
that produce revenue for the Company, or secure additional financing, the
Company's financial condition will be adversely affected.
The accompanying financial statements for the three-month periods ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These interim
financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation
of the results for the interim periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 which are contained in the
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
--------------------
On May 18, 1998, Procept's shareholders approved a one-for-ten reverse split of
the Company's Common Stock (the "May 18, 1998 Reverse Stock Split"). The May 18,
1998 Reverse Stock Split was effected on June 1, 1998. Shareholders' equity has
been restated to give retroactive application to the May 18, 1998 Reverse Stock
Split in prior periods by reclassifying from Common Stock to additional paid in
capital the par value of the eliminated shares arising from the May 18, 1998
Reverse Stock Split. In addition, all references in the financial statements to
number of shares, per share amounts, and stock option and warrant data of the
Company's Common Stock have been restated.
On September 29, 1997, Procept's shareholders approved a one-for-seven reverse
split of the Company's Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse
Stock Split was effected on October 14, 1997. Shareholders' equity has been
restated to give retroactive application to the Reverse Stock Split in prior
periods by reclassifying from Common Stock to additional paid in capital, the
par value of the eliminated shares arising from the Reverse Stock Split. In
addition, all references in the financial statements to number of shares, per
share amounts, and stock option and warrant data of the Company's Common Stock
have been restated.
As a part of a unit offering, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,960,500 shares
of Common Stock in January, February, and April of 1998 together with five-year
Class C Warrants to purchase 1,960,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $5.00 per share (the "1998 Offering"). The Company completed the 1998
Offering on April 9, 1998 (the "Final Closing Date"). The $5.00 per share
exercise price of the Class C Warrants was determined as part of the terms of
the 1998 Offering in a negotiation between the Company and the placement agent
for the 1998 Offering. The Company did not separately value the Class C Warrants
from the Common Stock issued in the 1998 Offering since the resulting accounting
treatment for both securities is to record their value in Additional Paid In
Capital within the equity section of the balance sheet. These securities were
sold for gross proceeds of $9.8 million. The purchasers in the 1998 Offering are
entitled to certain contractual rights requiring contingent additional issuances
of Common Stock to the purchasers, (x) based on the market price (i) for the
5-day and 30-day periods immediately prior to the Final Closing Date of the 1998
Offering and (ii) on the first anniversary of the Final Closing Date of the 1998
Offering, (y) to protect them against future dilutive sales of securities and
(z) as a dividend substitute beginning 18 months after the Final Closing Date of
the 1998 Offering. In the event of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Company, (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets of the
8
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Company, or (iii) any consolidation, merger, combination, reorganization or
other transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the
purchasers are entitled to receive an amount equal to 140% of such purchaser's
investment as a liquidation "preference." Except in the case of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, such payment will be in the form that equity holders
will receive such as in cash, property or securities of the entity surviving the
acquisition transaction. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, such payment is contingent upon the Company having available resources to
make such payment. These contractual rights will terminate after the first
anniversary of the Final Closing Date if the Common Stock trades at $15.00 per
share or more.
In connection with the Final Closing of the 1998 Offering on April 9, 1998 (the
"Final Closing") and certain advisory services, the Company sold to Paramount
Capital, Inc., the Company's placement agent in the 1998 Offering), for $0.001
per option, options to purchase an aggregate of 24.06875 units (each unit
consisting of 20,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 20,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share) at an exercise
price of $110,000 per unit (i.e., $5.50 per share). Also on April 9, 1998, The
Aries Fund and the Aries Domestic Fund, L.P. exchanged an aggregate of 30,060
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants for units in
the 1998 Offering comprised of 841,680 shares of Common Stock and five-year
warrants to purchase 841,680 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$5.00 per share.
3. RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS
-----------------------
In January 1996, Procept entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with
VacTex, Inc. ("VacTex"). Under the Sponsored Research Agreement, Procept
conducted specified research tasks on behalf of VacTex for which Procept
received a combination of cash and equity in VacTex based on the number of
full-time equivalent employees of Procept engaged in the research, but subject
to maximum cash and stock limits. Under a related agreement, Procept had a right
to acquire the outstanding stock of VacTex at a specified price. If Procept
declined to purchase the VacTex stock, Procept was obligated to issue to VacTex
or its shareholders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,429 shares of Procept
Common Stock at an exercise price of $245.00 per share.
In order to apply resources to the PRO 2000 development program, the Company did
not seek to renew the Sponsored Research Agreement with VacTex, which expired on
January 8, 1998. The Company continued to provide research services until March
13, 1998 and recorded revenue of $0.1 million for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997. Procept's option to acquire VacTex stock expired on
December 18, 1997. In April 1998, VacTex stockholders waived Procept's
obligation to issue Common Stock warrants to VacTex or its shareholders.
9
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On April 13, 1998, VacTex was acquired by Aquila Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
("Aquila"). The Company's investment in VacTex of 300,000 shares of common stock
was converted to 113,674 shares of Aquila common stock and $128,501 of 7%
debentures. As a result, the Company is accounting for its investment under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" as an available for sale security and
marked it to market by recording an unrealized gain of $475,022 as part of
Shareholders' Equity, based on Aquila's common stock closing price on April 13,
1998. The Company's investment in VacTex was originally accounted for under the
cost method since it was a restricted security, it did not have a readily
determinable fair value and Procept owned less than twenty percent of VacTex.
4. RESTRUCTURING
-------------
In order to focus its limited resources on PRO 2000, in January 1998 the Company
terminated work on most other research programs and underwent a significant
downsizing, reducing its staff to 13 people. The amount of termination benefits
accrued and charged to restructuring costs in the statement of operations for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 was $0.2 million. For the three
months ended March 31, 1998, the amount of termination benefits paid and charged
against the liability as well as the $0.3 million liability established in the
fourth quarter of 1997 was $0.2 million.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
------------------------
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement
requires changes in comprehensive income to be shown in a financial statement
that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the financial statements.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 specifies new
guidelines for determining a company's operating segments and related
requirements for disclosure. SFAS 131 will become effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 1998. The Company does not believe that the
adoption will have a material effect.
10
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations:
Overview
- --------
Procept, Inc. ("Procept" or the "Company") believes that steps taken in recent
months have resulted in a streamlined biotechnology organization well positioned
to (1) focus on the development of PRO 2000 Gel, a promising novel drug for
prevention of HIV and other infectious diseases, (2) out-license its early stage
immunosuppressive research, and (3) acquire or in-license other high-potential
drug development candidates that would benefit from Procept's expertise in
various therapeutic areas.
The lead candidate from the Company's AIDS program, PRO 2000 Gel, is a vaginal,
topical microbicide providing protection against HIV infection and other
sexually transmitted diseases ("STDs"). Preclinical studies have shown that PRO
2000 is a more effective anti-HIV agent that nonoxynol-9, the most commonly used
spermicide, and that it is active against other STDs, including herpes simplex
type 2 and Chlamydia trachomatis. In addition, Procept completed two Phase I
clinical trials to assess the safety and tolerance of PRO 2000 Gel in healthy
female volunteers. The trials were done at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in
Antwerp, Belgium, and at St. Mary's Hospital in London, England with funding
from the MRC (British "Medical Research Council"). Results indicate that PRO
2000 Gel was safe and well tolerated, and that participants found the product
aesthetically acceptable.
Procept is currently seeking outlicensing opportunities for its early-stage
immunosuppressive research. In 1997, Procept implemented a new research program
that focused on an intracellular enzyme ("DHODH") that is known to be critical
for the activation of the immune response, thus making it a possible target for
intervention in transplantation and autoimmune disease. Procept has made
significant progress and achieved a number of important milestones in this
program in the past year, including the cloning and expression of the human
recombinant enzyme and the identification of lead compounds with potent enzyme
inhibitory properties. Initial studies indicate that several lead compounds also
possess oral activity in animal models of immunosuppression.
In addition to maintaining PRO 2000's momentum, Procept will proactively seek
opportunities to acquire additional novel technologies that address key
healthcare needs. The Company is most interested in acquiring technologies that
have reached the early stages of human clinical trials, but will be
"opportunistic" in its search. Procept's scientific expertise will help quickly
evaluate and bring these technologies in-house, advance the clinical
development, and then bring the technology to market by partnering with a larger
corporation, thereby focusing its resources on development rather than research
programs.
Results of Operation
- --------------------
Since its inception, the Company has generated no revenues from product sales.
The Company is dependent upon research and development collaborations, equity
financing and interest on invested funds to provide the working
11
<PAGE>
capital required to pursue its intended business activities. The Company has not
been profitable since incorporation and has an accumulated deficit of $59.2
million through March 31, 1998. Losses have resulted principally from costs
incurred in research and development activities related to the Company's efforts
to develop drug candidates and from the associated administrative costs required
to support these efforts. The Company expects to incur significant additional
operating losses over the next several years due to its ongoing development
efforts and expanded preclinical and clinical testings. The Company's potential
for future profitability is dependent on its ability to effectively in-license
and develop pharmaceutical products and obtain regulatory approvals and adequate
financing for such products. Future profitability will require that the Company
establish agreements for product development, commercialization and sales of its
products with corporate sponsors.
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997
The Company's total revenues decreased to $0.1 million in the first quarter of
1998 from $0.3 million during the same period of 1997. In the first quarter of
1998, revenues consisted of $0.1 million earned under the Sponsored Research
Agreement with VacTex, Inc. (the "VacTex Agreement") and $5,000 in interest
earned on invested funds. In 1997, first quarter revenues consisted of $0.1
million earned under the VacTex Agreement, $0.1 million under a grant from the
National Cooperative Drug Discovery Group and $0.1 million in interest earned on
invested funds.
The Company's total operating expenses decreased to $1.6 million in the first
quarter of 1998, from $2.6 million during the same period in 1997. Research and
development expenses decreased 57% to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 1998
from $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1997, due primarily to a decrease in
personnel in the Company's research and development organization and their
related research costs. In order to focus its limited resources on PRO 2000, in
January 1998 the Company terminated work on most other research programs and
underwent a significant downsizing, reducing its staff to 13 people. The amount
of termination benefits accrued and charged to restructuring costs in the
statement of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 was $0.2
million. The amount of termination benefits paid and charged against the
liability for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $0.2 million.
General and administrative expenses decreased 25% to $0.5 million in the first
quarter of 1998 from $0.7 million in the first quarter of 1997, reflecting a
decrease in administrative personnel as well as continued cost control measures.
Interest expense decreased in the first quarter of 1998 as a result of the
scheduled completion of most of the Company's lease financing arrangements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
At March 31, 1998, the Company's aggregate cash and cash equivalents were $2.1
million, a net increase of $1.6 million since December 31, 1997. The increase in
cash is primarily attributable to initial and interim closings of the Company's
private placement in January and February 1998, which resulted in net proceeds
of $3.0 million, offset by $1.4 million used in operations principally to fund
research and development activities.
12
<PAGE>
As part of a unit offering completed in April 1998 (the "1998 Offering"), the
Company sold an aggregate of 684,500 shares of Common Stock in January and
February of 1998 together with five-year warrants to purchase 684,500 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. These securities were sold
for gross proceeds of $3.4 million. After expenses, the Company received cash of
$3.0 million. The purchasers in the 1998 Offering are entitled to certain
contractual rights requiring contingent additional issuances of Common Stock to
the purchasers, (x) based on the market price (i) for the 5-day and 30-day
periods immediately prior to the Final Closing Date of the 1998 Offering and
(ii) on the first anniversary of the Final Closing Date of the 1998 Offering,
(y) to protect them against future dilutive sales of securities and (z) as a
dividend substitute beginning 18 months after the Final Closing Date of the 1998
Offering. In the event of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or (iii) any consolidation, merger, combination,
reorganization or other transaction in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, the purchasers are entitled to receive an amount equal to 140% of such
purchaser's investment as a liquidation "preference." Except in the case of a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, such payment will be in the form that
equity holders will receive such as in cash, property or securities of the
entity surviving the acquisition transaction. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, such payment is contingent upon the Company having
available resources to make such payment. These contractual rights will
terminate after the first anniversary of the Final Closing Date if the Common
Stock trades at $15.00 per share or more.
On April 9, 1998, the Company consummated the final closing of the 1998
Offering, selling an additional 1,276,000 shares of Common Stock together with
five-year warrants to purchase 1,276,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $5.00 per share. These securities were sold for gross proceeds of $6.4
million. After expenses, the Company received cash of $5.3 million. Also on
April 9, 1998, The Aries Fund and the Aries Domestic Fund, L.P. exchanged an
aggregate of 30,060 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and related
warrants for 841,680 shares of Common Stock together with five-year warrants to
purchase 841,680 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.
In order to focus its limited resources on PRO 2000, in January 1998 the Company
terminated work on most other research programs and underwent a significant
downsizing, reducing its staff to 13 people. This is expected to reduce the
Company's cash burn rate to approximately $0.2 million per month by the end of
1998.
The Company expects, based on its planned cash burn rate of $0.2 million per
month, that its current funds, the funds raised in the Company's 1998 Offering
and interest income will be sufficient to fund Procept's operations through
March 2000. Although management continues to pursue additional funding
arrangements, no assurance can
13
<PAGE>
be given that such financing will be available to the Company. If the Company is
unable to enter into an additional corporate collaboration(s) that produce
revenue for the Company, or secure additional financing, the Company's financial
condition will be adversely affected. If additional funds are raised by issuing
equity securities, further dilution to existing shareholders will result and
future investors may be granted rights superior to those of existing
shareholders.
The Company's expectations regarding its rate of spending and the sufficiency of
its cash resources over future periods are forward-looking statements. The rate
of spending and sufficiency of such resources will be affected by numerous
factors including the rate of planned and unplanned expenditures by the Company
and the execution of new collaboration agreements for the Company's research and
development programs. Other important factors that may affect achieving the
Company's strategic goals and other forward-looking statements are set forth in
Exhibit 99.1 of the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company's working capital and other cash needs will depend heavily on the
success of the Company's clinical trials and the rate of acquisition of new
products and technologies. Success in early-stage clinical trials or acquisition
of new products and technologies would lead to an increase in working capital
requirements. The Company's actual cash requirements may vary materially from
those now planned because of the results of research and development, clinical
trials, product testing, relationships with strategic partners, acquisition of
new products and technologies, changes in the focus and direction of the
Company's research and development programs, competitive and technological
advances, the process of obtaining United States Food and Drug Administration or
other regulatory approvals and other factors.
New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement
requires changes in comprehensive income to be shown in a financial statement
that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the financial statements.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 specifies new
guidelines for determining a company's operating segments and related
requirements for disclosure. SFAS 131 will become effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 1998. The Company does not believe that the
adoption will have a material effect.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities
The share and exercise price values with respect to Procept securities in this
amended and restated Item 2 have been adjusted to reflect the one-for-ten
reverse split of the Company's Common Stock effected on June 1, 1998.
As a part of a unit offering (the "1998 Offering"), the Company sold an
aggregate of 34.225 units (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of 20,000 shares
of Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), and warrants to purchase
20,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, for
$100,000 per Unit, representing aggregate gross proceeds to Procept of $3.4
million in January and February of 1998; after deducting expenses the Company
received cash of $3.0 million. The purchasers in the 1998 Offering are entitled
to certain contractual rights requiring contingent additional issuances of
Common Stock to the purchasers, (x) based on the market price (i) for the 5-day
and 30-day periods immediately prior to the Final Closing Date of the 1998
Offering and (ii) on the first anniversary of the Final Closing Date of the 1998
Offering, (y) to protect them against future dilutive sales of securities and
(z) as a dividend substitute beginning 18 months after the Final Closing Date of
the 1998 Offering. In the event of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Company, (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company, or (iii) any consolidation, merger, combination,
reorganization or other transaction in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, the purchasers are entitled to receive an amount equal to 140% of such
purchaser's investment as a liquidation "preference." Except in the case of a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, such payment will be in the form that
equityholders will receive such as in cash, property or securities of the entity
surviving the acquisition transaction. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, such payment is contingent upon the Company having
available resources to make such payment. These contractual rights will
terminate after the first anniversary of the Final Closing Date if the Common
Stock trades at $15.00 per share or more.
On April 9, 1998, the Company consummated the final closing of the 1998
Offering, selling an additional 63.8 Units representing aggregate proceeds to
the Company of $6.4 million (including $175,000 representing settlement of past
liabilities); after deducting expenses the Company received cash of $5.3
million. Paramount Capital, Inc. ("Paramount") acted as placement agent to
Procept for the 1998 Offering; Paramount also serves as a financial advisor to
the Company. As part of the 1998 Offering, the Company agreed to pay Paramount
(i) a 9% commission of the gross proceeds from the sale of all Units and (ii) a
non-accountable expense allowance equal to 4% of the gross proceeds from the
sale of all Units. In connection with the Final Closing of the 1998 Offering and
such advisory services, the Company sold to Paramount, for $0.001 per option,
options to purchase an aggregate of 24.06875 Units at an exercise price of
$110,000 per unit.

Also on April 9, 1998, The Aries Fund and the Aries Domestic Fund, L.P.
exchanged an aggregate of 30,060 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
$0.01 par value per share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 328,314
shares of Procept Common Stock for an aggregate of 42.084 Units (i.e., 841,680
shares of Procept Common Stock and warrants to purchase 841,680 shares of
Procept Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share).
The Units were offered and sold to "accredited investors," as that term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). The issuance of the Units was made in reliance upon the
safe harbor provided by Rule 506 under the Securities Act.
