NOTE A - BUSINESS


iBio, Inc. (“iBio” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company focused on commercializing its proprietary technology, the iBioLaunch™ platform, for biologics including vaccines and therapeutic proteins. The Company’s strategy is to promote its commercial products through collaborations and license arrangements. iBio expects to receive upfront license fees, milestone revenues, service revenue and royalties on end products. The Company believes its technology offers the opportunity to develop products that might not otherwise be commercially feasible, and to work with both corporate and government clients to reduce their costs during product development and meet their needs for low cost, high quality biologics manufacturing systems. The Company’s near-term focus is to establish business arrangements for use of our technology by licensees for the development and production of products for both therapeutic and vaccine uses.


Liquidity and Basis of Presentation


The accompanying financial information at September 30, 2011 and for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, is unaudited and includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the condensed financial information set forth therein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted as permitted by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet amounts as of June 30, 2011 were derived from the audited financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its spinoff from its former parent, Integrated BioPharma, Inc. (“IBP”) in August 2008. As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s accumulated deficit approximated $25,279,000 and cash used in operations for the three months September 30, 2011 and 2010 approximated $1,228,000 and $526,000, respectively. The Company has historically financed its activities through the sale of common stock and warrants. To date, the Company has dedicated most of its financial resources to investing in its iBioLaunch™ platform, advancing its intellectual property, and general and administrative activities. Cash on hand as of September 30, 2011 was approximately $1,523,000 and is expected to support the Company’s activities through January 2012.


The Company plans to fund its development and commercialization activities through January 2012 and beyond through milestone receipts from licensing arrangements including royalties and/or the sale of equity securities. The Company cannot be certain that such funding will be available on acceptable terms or available at all or that the receipts from its licensing arrangements will be sufficient to cover its operating costs and research and development activities. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders may experience significant dilution. If the Company is unable to raise funds when required or on acceptable terms or generate sufficient revenues, it may have to: a) Significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; b) Seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than would otherwise be desirable and/or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or c) Relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates, or products that it would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize itself and possibly cease operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.


In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable.


The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other governmental regulations and approval requirements.


Significant Accounting Policies.


The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note B to its audited Financial Statements included in its June 30, 2011 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended September 30.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share


Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred a loss, therefore, basic and diluted EPS were the same, since the common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share have been excluded given that the effect would have been anti-dilutive.


There were 10,009,769 and 6,915,811 options and warrants for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 that were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.


The following table summarizes our basic and diluted EPS computations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and derivative liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of cash, accounts receivable, current assets and accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:


 

 

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, in the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.


The Company categorizes its derivative financial instrument liability in Level 2 of the hierarchy. The derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model, using assumptions consistent with the determination of fair value. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument liability is based principally on Level 2 inputs. For this liability, the Company developed its own assumptions based on observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value.

The fair value of the derivative financial instrument liability is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price, volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate.


The assumptions made in calculating the fair value of these derivative instruments as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 and June 30, 2011 were as follows:

Recently Issued Pronouncements


In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for fair value measurements to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements, particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard for fair value measurements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
