EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 29, 2008 (the “Original Filing”; and as amended by this Amendment, “this Annual Report”). Since the Company became subject to public reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2008, subsequent to its Fiscal Year End of June 30, 2008, we have elected not to hold our first annual meeting until 2009. As such, we will not at this time file a definitive proxy statement.  iBioPharma, Inc. is filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not included in the Original Filing.
 
In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing has been amended to contain currently dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to this Form 10-K/A. The currently dated certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Form 10-K/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2. Except with regard to the currently dated certifications included under said Item 15 and as set forth in Part III below, no other changes are made to the Original Filing other than the deletion of the reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference of iBioPharma, Inc.’s definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing. Unless expressly stated, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing, nor does it modify or update in any way the disclosures contained in the Original Filing.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

Prior to the distribution, 100% of all of the outstanding shares of our common stock are owned beneficially and of record by Integrated BioPharma. To the extent directors and executive officers own or will own Integrated BioPharma common stock prior to the distribution, they will receive shares of our common stock in the distribution on the same basis as other holders of Integrated BioPharma common stock. The following table sets forth information with respect to the projected beneficial ownership of our outstanding common stock, immediately following the completion of the distribution, by:

·     

each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our common stock;


·     

each of our directors and our chief executive officer; and

·     

all of our directors, director nominees and executive officers as a group.

The projections below are based on the number of shares of Integrated BioPharma common stock beneficially owned by each person or entity at the record date as evidenced by Integrated BioPharma’s records and a review of statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13(d) or 13(g) and Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.  References in the footnotes below to stock options refer to stock options held by such persons in Integrated BioPharma.  Such stock options will not be converted into stock options to purchase our common stock, but they are listed as beneficially owned in this table because the holders have the ability to exercise the stock options prior to the record date and receive additional shares of our common stock upon the distribution.

The share amounts in the table will not change unless there is a change in the exchange ratio of the distribution. The percentage ownership of our common stock immediately following the distribution will be approximately the same as the percentage ownership of such person or entity immediately prior to the distribution. Except as set forth in the table below, upon completion of the distribution, we do not expect any person to own more than five percent of our outstanding common stock.

Except as otherwise noted in the footnotes below, the entity, individual director or executive officer or their family members or principal stockholder has sole voting and investment power with respect to such securities.

The address of each of the persons listed below is c/o Integrated BioPharma Inc., 225 Long Avenue, Hillside, New Jersey 07205.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Historical Relationship with Integrated BioPharma, Inc.

We have been a subsidiary of Integrated BioPharma since February 21, 2003. As a result, in the ordinary course of our business, we have received various services provided by Integrated BioPharma, including treasury, tax, legal, investor relations, executive oversight and other services. Integrated BioPharma has also provided us with the services of a number of its executives and employees, including currently our chief financial officer. Our historical financial statements include allocations by Integrated BioPharma of a portion of its overhead costs related to these services. These cost allocations have been determined on a basis that we and Integrated BioPharma consider to be reasonable reflections of the use of these services. Integrated BioPharma allocated to us $314,600 and $430,300 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, of expenses it incurred for providing us these services.

Integrated BioPharma’s Distribution of Our Stock

As of June 30, 2008, Integrated BioPharma owned all of our common stock until completion of the distribution on August 18, 2008. In connection with the distribution, Integrated BioPharma is distributed its equity interest in us to its stockholders in a transaction that was intended to be tax-free to Integrated BioPharma and its U.S. stockholders.

Agreements Between Us and Integrated BioPharma

We have entered into the agreements listed below with Integrated BioPharma prior to the completion of the distribution in the context of our relationship as a subsidiary of Integrated BioPharma. The prices and other terms of these agreements may be less favorable to us than those we could have obtained in arm’s-length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties for similar services or under similar agreements.

Separation and Distribution Agreement. The separation and distribution agreement contains the key provisions relating to the distribution by Integrated BioPharma to its stockholders of our common stock.

On the distribution date, Integrated BioPharma and we enter into the following ancillary agreements governing various ongoing relationships between Integrated BioPharma and us following the distribution date:

·     

an indemnification and insurance matters agreement;


·     

a tax responsibility allocation agreement; and

·     

a transitional services agreement.

To the extent that the terms of any of these ancillary agreements conflict with the separation and distribution agreement, the terms of these ancillary agreements will govern. We describe these agreements more fully below.

Intercompany Payable. As of June 30, 2008, we were indebted to Integrated BioPharma in an amount of approximately $7.8 million, as a result of the prior intercompany financial relationship between our Company as a subsidiary and Integrated BioPharma as the corporate parent. Immediately following the consummation of the distribution, approximately $2.7 million of the then outstanding balance of the intercompany payable was converted into equity as a capital contribution to us, and, Integrated BioPharma owns 5.4% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the August 12, 2008 when also taking into account the completion of the

10


private placement as described herein. The remaining balance of approximately $5.0 million was contributed to capital and did not result in any new shares issued to Integrated BioPharma of iBioPharma.

Information Exchange. We and Integrated BioPharma agree to share information with each other for use as long as no law or agreement is violated, it is not commercially detrimental to us or Integrated BioPharma, and no attorney-client privilege is waived:

·     

to satisfy reporting, disclosure, filing and other obligations;


·     

in connection with legal proceedings other than claims that we and Integrated BioPharma have against each other;

·

various ongoing litigation matters to which we are not a party.

Integrated BioPharma is not obligated to indemnify us against any liability for which we are also obligated to indemnify Integrated BioPharma. Recoveries by Integrated BioPharma under insurance policies will reduce the amount of indemnification due from us to Integrated BioPharma only if the recoveries are under insurance policies Integrated BioPharma maintains for our benefit. Recoveries by us will in all cases reduce the amount of any indemnification due from Integrated BioPharma to us.

Under the indemnification and insurance matters agreement, a party has the right to control the defense of third-party claims for which it is obligated to provide indemnification, except that Integrated BioPharma has the right to control the defense of any third-party claim or series of related third-party claims in which it is named as a party whether or not it is obligated to provide indemnification in connection with the claim and any third-party claim for which Integrated BioPharma and we may both be obligated to provide indemnification. We may not assume the control of the defense of any claim unless we acknowledge that if the claim is adversely determined, we will indemnify Integrated BioPharma in respect of all liabilities relating to that claim. The indemnification and insurance matters agreement does not apply to taxes covered by the tax responsibility allocation agreement.

Insurance Matters. Under the indemnification and insurance matters agreement, we will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining insurance programs for our risk of loss and our insurance arrangements will be separate from Integrated BioPharma’s insurance programs.

Offset. Integrated BioPharma is permitted to reduce amounts it owes us under any of our agreements with Integrated BioPharma, by amounts we may owe to Integrated BioPharma under those agreements.

Assignment. We may not assign or transfer any part of the indemnification and insurance agreement without Integrated BioPharma’s prior written consent. Nothing contained in the agreement restricts the transfer of the agreement by Integrated BioPharma.

Tax Responsibility Allocation Agreement. In order to allocate our responsibilities for taxes and certain other tax matters, we and Integrated BioPharma entered into a tax responsibility allocation agreement prior to the date of the distribution. Under the terms of the agreement, with respect to consolidated federal income taxes, and consolidated, combined and unitary state income taxes, Integrated BioPharma will be responsible for, and will indemnify and hold us harmless from, any liability for income taxes with respect to taxable periods or portions of periods ending prior to the date of distribution to the extent these amounts exceed the amounts we have paid to Integrated BioPharma prior to the distribution or in connection with the filing of relevant tax returns.

With respect to separate state income taxes, we are also responsible for, and will indemnify and hold Integrated BioPharma harmless from, any liability for income taxes with respect to taxable periods or portions of periods beginning on or after the distribution date.
