SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the financial position of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of September 30, 2002, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the cumulative period from August 29, 1996 (date of incorporation) to September 30, 2002, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the cumulative period from August 29, 1996 (date of incorporation) to September 30, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company’s cash resources are limited and additional capital will need to be raised in the near future. The Company’s recent activities in regard to this situation are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the success or failure of management to raise additional capital in the near future.

On May 31, 2002, BioSante effected a one-for-ten reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and class C stock. All share and per share stock numbers in this Form 10-QSB have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in BioSante’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2. BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

The basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and class C stock outstanding, all being considered as equivalent of one another. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised into common stock. Because BioSante has incurred net losses from operations in each of the periods presented, except for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, there is generally no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share amounts. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include options and warrants with dilutive potential that would have an antidilutive effect on net loss per share. For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, BioSante recognized net income, and accordingly, there is a dilutive effect on net income per share due to the inclusion of 1,176,280 dilutive options and warrants in the denominator in computing net income per share, which makes the total diluted weighted average number of shares for the three month period ended September 30, 2001 equal to 7,902,821.

3. LICENSE AGREEMENTS

In June 1997, BioSante entered into a licensing agreement with the Regents of the University of California, which has subsequently been amended, pursuant to which the University has granted BioSante an exclusive license to nine United States patents owned by the University, including rights to sublicense such patents. The license agreement with the University of California requires BioSante to undertake various obligations, including but not limited to, the payment of royalties based on future net sales and the payment of minimum annual royalties.

On June 13, 2000, BioSante entered into a license agreement with Antares Pharma Inc. covering four hormone therapy products for the treatment of men and women. The license agreement requires BioSante to pay Antares a percentage of future net sales, if any, as a royalty. Under the terms of the license agreement, BioSante is also obligated to make milestone payments upon the occurrence of certain future events.

As allowed by the license agreement with Antares, on September 1, 2000, BioSante entered into a sub-license agreement with Paladin Labs Inc. to market the female hormone therapy products in Canada. In exchange for the sub-license, Paladin agreed to make an initial investment in BioSante, make future milestone payments and pay royalties on sales of the products in Canada. The milestone payments will be in the form of a series of equity investments by Paladin in BioSante’s common stock at a 10% premium to the market price of BioSante’s common stock at the date of the equity investment.

4. FINANCING

On September 6, 2002, BioSante raised $4.5 million in a best-efforts, self underwritten offering of 2,250,000 shares of BioSante’s common stock. Transaction costs related to the offering have been netted against the proceeds.

BioSante currently does not have sufficient resources to complete the commercialization of any of its proposed products. Therefore, BioSante will need to raise additional capital in the near future to fund operations and may be unable to raise such funds when needed and on acceptable terms.

BioSante cannot be certain that any financing will be available when needed. If BioSante fails to raise additional financing as needed, it may have to delay or terminate product development programs or pass on opportunities to in-license or otherwise acquire new products that BioSante believes may be beneficial to its business.

5. COMMITMENTS

University of California License

BioSante’s license agreement with the University of California requires BioSante to undertake various obligations, including:

• Payment of royalties to the University based on a percentage of the net sales of any products incorporating the licensed technology;

• Payment of minimum annual royalties on February 28 of each year beginning in the year 2004 in the amounts set forth below, to be credited against earned royalties, for the life of the agreement;

Year	Minimum Annual Royalty Due

2004	$	50,000
2005	100,000
2006	150,000
2007	200,000
2008	400,000
2009	600,000
2010	800,000
2011	1,500,000
2012	1,500,000
2013	1,500,000

• Development of products incorporating the licensed technology until a product is introduced to the market;

• Payment of the costs of patent prosecution and maintenance of the patents included in the agreement, which for the year ended December 31, 2001 amounted to $11,358;

• Meeting performance milestones relating to:

• Hiring or contracting with personnel to perform research and development, regulatory and other activities relating to the commercial launch of a proposed product;

• Testing proposed products and obtaining government approvals;

• Conducting clinical trials; and

• Introducing products incorporating the licensed technology into the market;

• Entering into partnership or alliance arrangements or agreements with other entities regarding commercialization of the technology covered by the license; and

• Indemnifying, holding harmless and defending the University of California and its affiliates, as designated in the license agreement, against any and all claims, suits,

losses, damage, costs, fees and expenses resulting from or arising out of the license agreement, including but not limited to, any product liability claims.

Antares Pharma, Inc. License

BioSante’s license agreement with Antares required BioSante to make a $1.0 million upfront payment to Antares. $250,000 of this upfront payment was creditable against future milestone or other payments and was utilized in the third quarter of 2001. The result was a $250,000 reduction in research and development expense in the statement of operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2001 as the initial $1.0 million payment had been expensed in its entirety in 2000. BioSante expects to fund the development of the products, make milestone payments and once regulatory approval to market is received and sales of the products commence, pay royalties on the sales of products. Under certain circumstances, BioSante will pay Antares a portion of upfront sub-license or milestone payments received by BioSante from the sub-license of the products.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. These statements establish new accounting and reporting standards for business combinations and associated goodwill and intangible assets. They require, among other things, elimination of the pooling of interests method of accounting, no amortization of acquired goodwill, and a periodic assessment for impairment of all goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 was adopted on January 1, 2002. There was no impact on BioSante’s financial statements as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements relating to our financial condition, results of operations and business, including statements pertaining to:

• our substantial and continuing losses;

• our raising of additional capital through future equity and other financings;

• our spending capital on research and development programs, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory processes, establishment of marketing capabilities and licensure or acquisition of new products; and

• our existing cash and whether and how long these funds will be sufficient to fund our operations.

For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-QSB that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including those described under this section and the section entitled “Certain Important Factors” below and those contained under the caption “Certain Important Factors” contained in BioSante’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward–looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The following discussion of the results of the operations and financial condition of BioSante should be read in conjunction with BioSante’s financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Overview

We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company that is developing a pipeline of hormone therapy products to treat men and women. We also are engaged in the development of our proprietary calcium phosphate, nanoparticulate-based platform technology, or CAP, for vaccine adjuvants or immune system boosters, drug delivery systems and the purification of the milk of transgenic animals.

Our hormone therapy products, which we license on an exclusive basis from Antares Pharma, Inc., address a variety of hormone therapies for symptoms that affect both men and women. Symptoms addressed by these hormone therapies include impotence, lack of sex drive, muscle weakness and osteoporosis in men and menopausal symptoms in women including hot flashes, vaginal atrophy, decreased libido and osteoporosis.

The products we in-license from Antares are gel formulations of testosterone (the natural male hormone), estradiol (the natural female hormone), a combination of estradiol and testosterone and a combination of estradiol and progestogen (another female hormone). The

gels are designed to be quickly absorbed through the skin after application on the arms, abdomen or thighs, delivering the required hormone to the bloodstream evenly and in a non-invasive, painless manner. The gels are formulated to be applied once per day and to be absorbed into the skin without a trace of residue.

Under the terms of our license agreement with Antares, we acquired exclusive marketing rights, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to the single active ingredient testosterone and estradiol products for all therapeutic indications in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Israel, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, China and South Africa. We acquired exclusive marketing rights, with the right to grant sub-licenses, for the combination estradiol and progestogen product in the U.S. and Canada. In partial consideration for the license of the hormone therapy products, we paid Antares an upfront license fee of $1.0 million in June 2000. In addition, under the terms of the license agreement, we agreed to fund the development of the proposed products, make milestone payments and, after all necessary regulatory approvals are received, pay royalties to Antares on sales of the products.

In a series of amendments executed during 2001 between BioSante and Antares, BioSante returned to Antares the license rights to one of four previously licensed hormone products, namely the estradiol patch, in all countries of the licensed territory. Additionally, BioSante returned to Antares the license rights to the single entity estrogen and testosterone gel products in Malaysia and Australia. In exchange for the return to Antares of the estradiol patch in all the countries and the estradiol and testosterone gel products in Malaysia and Australia, Antares granted BioSante a credit for approximately $600,000 of manufacturing and formulation services, which have been fully utilized, and a license for the combination estradiol plus testosterone gel product for all countries described above.

In August 2001, BioSante entered into a sub-license agreement with Solvay Pharmaceuticals, B.V. covering the U.S. and Canadian rights to the estrogen/progestogen combination transdermal hormone therapy gel product licensed from Antares. Under the terms of the agreement, Solvay sub-licensed BioSante’s estrogen/progestogen combination transdermal hormone therapy gel product for an initial payment of $2.5 million ($1.7 million net of the related payments due to Antares and Paladin), future milestone payments and escalating sales-based royalties. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2002, BioSante received a $950,000 milestone payment pursuant to the Solvay sub-license agreement. Solvay will be responsible for all costs of development and marketing of the product. BioSante has retained co-promotion rights to the product and will be compensated for sales generated by BioSante over and above those attributable to Solvay’s marketing efforts. As described further below, the Canadian rights to this product had previously been sub-licensed to Paladin as part of that sub-license arrangement and were repurchased by BioSante prior to the Solvay transaction in exchange for $125,000, paid by the issuance of 17,361 shares of BioSante common stock with a market value of $125,000 at the date of the transaction.

In September 2000, we sub-licensed the marketing rights to our portfolio of female hormone therapy products in Canada to Paladin Labs Inc. In exchange for the sub-license, Paladin agreed to make an initial investment in our company, make future milestone payments and pay royalties on sales of the products in Canada. The milestone payments will be in the form of a series of equity investments by Paladin in BioSante common stock at a 10 percent premium to the market price of our stock at the time the equity investment is made. Upon execution of the sub-license agreement, Paladin made an initial investment of $500,000 in our company in the form of a convertible debenture, convertible into our common stock at $10.50 per share. In August 2001, BioSante exercised its right and declared the debenture converted

in full. Accordingly, 47,619 shares of BioSante common stock were issued to Paladin in August 2001. During the third quarter 2001, Paladin made a series of equity investments in BioSante as a result of certain sub-licensing transactions and BioSante reaching certain milestones. These equity investments resulted in BioSante issuing an additional 18,939 shares of its common stock to Paladin.

Our strategy with respect to our hormone therapy product portfolio is to conduct human clinical trials of our proposed hormone therapy products, which are required to obtain approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and to market the products in the United States.

Our CAP technology, which we license on an exclusive basis from the University of California, is based on the use of extremely small, solid, uniform particles, which we call “nanoparticles,” as immune system boosters, for drug delivery and to purify the milk of transgenic animals, among other uses. We have identified three potential initial applications for our CAP technology:

• the creation of improved versions of current vaccines and of new vaccines by the “adjuvant” activity of our proprietary nanoparticles that enhance the ability of a vaccine to stimulate an immune response;

• the creation of inhaled and oral forms of drugs that currently must be given by injection (e.g., insulin); and

• the purification of the milk of transgenic animals, in which protein pharmaceuticals are grown.

Our strategy with respect to CAP over the next 12 months is to continue development of our nanoparticle technology and actively to seek collaborators and licensees to accelerate the development and commercialization of products incorporating this technology. We received clearance in August 2000 from the FDA to initiate a Phase I clinical trial of our CAP as a vaccine adjuvant and delivery system based on an Investigational New Drug Application that we filed in July 2000. The Phase I trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 18 subjects to determine the safety of CAP as a vaccine adjuvant. The trial was completed in October 2000. The results showed that there was no apparent difference in side effect profile between CAP and placebo.

In October 2001, we licensed our Bio-VantÔ calcium phosphate based vaccine adjuvant on a non-exclusive basis to Corixa Corporation for use in several potential vaccines to be developed by Corixa. Under the agreement, Corixa has agreed to pay BioSante milestone payments upon the achievement by Corixa of certain milestones plus royalty payments on sales by Corixa if and when vaccines are approved using Bio-VantÔ and sold on a commercial basis. If Corixa sub-licenses vaccines that include Bio-VantÔ, BioSante will share in milestone payments and royalties received by Corixa. The license agreement covers access to Bio-VantÔ for a variety of cancer, infectious and autoimmune disease vaccines.

In April 2002, BioSante exclusively in-licensed from Wake Forest University and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center three issued U.S. Patents claiming triple hormone therapy (the combination use of estrogen plus progestogen plus androgen, e.g. testosterone) and an option for triple hormone contraception. The financial terms of the license include an upfront payment

by BioSante, regulatory milestones, maintenance payments and royalty payments by BioSante if the product gets approved and subsequently marketed.

Our goal is to develop and commercialize our portfolio of hormone therapy products and CAP technology into a wide range of pharmaceutical products and to expand this product portfolio as appropriate. Our strategy to obtain this goal is to:

• Continue the development of our hormone therapy products;

• Continue the development of our nanoparticle-based CAP platform technology and seek assistance in the development through corporate partner sub-licenses;

• Implement business collaborations or joint ventures with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies; and

• License or otherwise acquire other drugs that will add value to our current product portfolio and consider the sub-license of certain hormone therapy products.

We currently expect to add employees as we continue to develop and commercialize our hormone therapy products and products incorporating our CAP technology or in-license or otherwise acquire products in late-stage human clinical development.

All of our revenue to date has been derived from interest earned on invested funds and upfront and milestone payments earned on sub-licensing transactions. We have not commercially introduced any products. Since our inception, we have experienced significant operating losses. We incurred a net loss of $2,611,361 for the year ended December 31, 2001, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $18,251,033. We incurred a net loss of $3,399,291 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and as of September 30, 2002, our accumulated deficit was $21,650,324. We expect to incur substantial and continuing losses for the foreseeable future as our product development programs expand and various preclinical and clinical trials commence and continue. The amount of these losses may vary significantly from year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter and will depend upon, among other factors:

• the timing and cost of product development;

• the progress and cost of preclinical and clinical development programs;

• the costs of licensure or acquisition of new products;

• the timing and cost of obtaining necessary regulatory approvals; and

• the timing and cost of obtaining third party reimbursement.

In order to generate revenues, we must successfully develop and commercialize our proposed products or enter into collaborative agreements with others who can successfully develop and commercialize them. Even if our proposed products and the products we may license or otherwise acquire are commercially introduced, they may never achieve market acceptance and we may never generate revenues or achieve profitability.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2001

General and administrative expenses decreased 43% from $720,461 during the three month period ended September 30, 2001 to $413,804 during the three month period ended September 30, 2002. This decrease is the result of a decrease in personnel-related expenses, coupled with a decrease in legal expenses related to collaboration and license activities.

Research and development expenses increased from $719,132 during the three month period ended September 30, 2001 to $1,326,556 during the three month period ended September 30, 2002. This increase is the result of increased expenses during the three month period ended September 30, 2002 associated with the clinical development of our hormone therapy product portfolio. As a result of human clinical trials of our hormone therapy product portfolio, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase significantly in future periods. We also are required under the terms of our license agreement with the University of California to have available certain amounts of funds dedicated to research and development activities. The amount of our research and development expenditures, however, may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year depending on: (1) available resources; (2) our development schedule; (3) results of studies, clinical trials and regulatory decisions; and (4) competitive developments.

Interest income decreased from $62,829 during the three month period ended September 30, 2001 to $12,556 during the three month period ended September 30, 2002 as a result of lower interest rates coupled with lower invested cash balances between the three month periods.

We incurred a net loss of $801,001 for the three month period ended September 30, 2002, compared to net income of $349,164 for the three month period ended September 30, 2001. The net loss during the three month period ended September 30, 2002 is the result of increased expenses associated with the clinical development of our hormone therapy product portfolio compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2001. The net income during the three month period ended September 30, 2001 is the result of net licensing income of approximately $1.7 million. We anticipate that our operating losses will continue for the foreseeable future.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

General and administrative expenses decreased from $1,683,491 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 to $1,364,784 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. This decrease is largely the result of a decrease in personnel-related expenses compared to the same nine month period from the previous year.

Research and development expenses increased from $1,339,357 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 to $2,958,478 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. This increase is the result of increased expenses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 associated with the clinical development of our hormone therapy product portfolio. We expect that our research and development expenses will continue

to increase significantly in future periods as a result of human clinical trials of our hormone therapy products.

Interest income decreased from $145,781 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 to $42,527 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 as a result of lower interest rates coupled with lower invested cash balances between the nine month periods.

BioSante incurred a net loss of $3,399,291 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, compared to a net loss of $1,199,649 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001. The increase in the net loss is the largely the result of increased expenses associated with the clinical development of our hormone therapy product portfolio during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2001. We anticipate that our operating losses will continue for the foreseeable future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have raised equity financing and received licensing income to fund our operations, and we expect to continue this practice to fund our ongoing operations. Since inception, we have raised net proceeds of approximately $17.4 million from equity financings, class A and class C stock conversions, warrant exercises and in the third quarter 2000, the issuance of a $500,000 convertible debenture, which was converted into 47,619 shares of common stock in the third quarter of 2001. In addition, as a result of licensing upfront and milestone payments, we have received an additional $3.1 million.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $5,257,716 and $4,502,387 at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The increase in our cash balances is due primarily to our $4.5 million equity offering closed in September 2002. We used cash in operating activities of $3,645,674 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 versus cash used in operating activities of $449,534 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001. The increase in cash used in operating activities reflects an increase in cash expenditures in: (1) research and development and associated personnel-related expenses, and (2) expenses related to the clinical development of our hormone therapy product portfolio. The reduction of the Due to Licensor account which represents expenses related to manufacturing and formulation services provided by Antares added to the increase in cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $34,841 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 versus $76,298 used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001. The uses of cash in investing activities during both nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were capital expenditures for the purchases of computer and small laboratory equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,435,844 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3,893,048 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 reflects the receipt of cash proceeds (net of transaction costs) from our equity offerings which closed in September 2002 and April 2001, respectively.

We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2002. We have, however, several financial commitments, including product development milestone payments to the licensors of our hormone therapy products, payments under our license agreements with the University of California and Wake Forest University, as well as minimum annual lease payments.

The following table summarizes the timing of these future contractual obligations and commitments:

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		After 5 Years
Operating Leases	$	167,823	$	143,214	$	24,609	$	—	$	—
Commitments Under License Agreement with UCLA	6,800,000		—		150,000		350,000		6,300,000
Commitments Under License Agreement with Wake Forest	1,140,000		—		55,000		145,000		940,000
Total Contractual Cash Obligations	$	8,107,823	$	143,214	$	229,609	$	495,000	$	7,240,000

We expect to continue to spend capital on:

• research and development programs;

• pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;

• regulatory processes;

• establishment of our own marketing capabilities or a search for third party manufacturers and marketing partners to manufacture and market our products for us; and

• the licensure or acquisition of new products.

The amount of capital we may need will depend on many factors, including the:

• progress, timing and scope of our research and development programs;

• progress, timing and scope of our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;

• time and cost necessary to obtain regulatory approvals;

• time and cost necessary to seek third party manufacturers to manufacture our products for us;

• time and cost necessary to establish our own sales and marketing capabilities or to seek marketing partners to market our products for us;

• time and cost necessary to respond to technological and market developments;

• changes made or new developments in our existing collaborative, licensing and other commercial relationships; and

• new collaborative, licensing and other commercial relationships that we may establish.

In addition, our license agreement with the licensor of our hormone therapy products requires us to make certain payments as development milestones are achieved, and our license agreement with the University of California requires us to have available minimum amounts of funds each year for research and development activities relating to our licensed technology and to achieve research and development milestones. Moreover, our fixed expenses, such as rent, license payments and other contractual commitments, may increase in the future, as we may:

• enter into additional leases for new facilities and capital equipment;

• enter into additional licenses and collaborative agreements; and

• incur additional expenses associated with being a public company.

Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2002 was $5,257,716. On September 6, 2002, we closed a best efforts, self-underwritten public offering raising $4.5 million. Transaction costs related to the public offering have been netted against the proceeds. We believe our cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations through September 2003. We have based this estimate, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. As a result, we may need to obtain additional financing prior to that time. In addition, we may need to raise additional capital at an earlier time to fund our ongoing research and development activities, acquire new products or take advantage of other unanticipated opportunities. We currently do not have sufficient resources to complete the commercialization of any of our proposed products. We cannot be certain that any financing will be available when needed or will be on terms acceptable to us. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our programs designed to facilitate the commercial introduction of our proposed products, prevent commercial introduction of our products altogether or restrict us from acquiring new products that we believe may be beneficial to our business.

Certain Important Factors

There are several important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by us or which are reflected in any of our forward-looking statements. These factors, and their impact on the success of our operations and our ability to achieve our goals, include the following and those listed under the caption “Certain Important Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001:

We have a history of operating losses, expect continuing losses and may never achieve profitability.

We have incurred losses in each year since our amalgamation in 1996 and expect to incur substantial and continuing losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred a net loss of $3,399,291 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, and as of September 30, 2002, our accumulated deficit was $21,650,324.

All of our revenue to date has been derived from interest earned on invested funds and upfront and milestone payments earned on sub-licensing transactions. We have not commercially introduced any products. We expect to incur substantial and continuing losses for the foreseeable future as our own product development programs expand and various preclinical and clinical trials commence. The amount of these losses may vary significantly from year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter and will depend on, among other factors:

• the timing and cost of product development;

• the progress and cost of preclinical and clinical development programs;

• the costs of licensure or acquisition of new products;

• the timing and cost of obtaining necessary regulatory approvals; and

• the timing and cost of obtaining third party reimbursement.

We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the near future to fund our operations and we may be unable to raise such funds when needed and on acceptable terms.

We currently do not have sufficient resources to complete the commercialization of any of our proposed products. Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2002 was $5,257,716. On September 6, 2002, BioSante closed a best efforts, self-underwritten public offering raising $4.5 million. Transaction costs related to the equity offering have been netted against the proceeds. We believe our cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations through September 2003. We have based this estimate, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. As a result, we may need to obtain additional financing prior to that time. In addition, we may need to raise additional capital at an earlier time to fund our ongoing research and development activities, acquire new products or take advantage of other unanticipated opportunities. We currently do not have sufficient resources to complete the commercialization of any of our proposed products. We cannot be certain that any financing will be available when needed or will be on terms acceptable to us. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our programs designed to facilitate the commercial introduction of our proposed products, prevent commercial introduction of our products altogether or restrict us from acquiring new products that we believe may be beneficial to our business.

We are a development stage company with a short operating history, making it difficult for you to evaluate our business and your investment.

We are in the development stage and our operations and the development of our proposed products are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including:

• the absence of an operating history;

• the lack of commercialized products;

• insufficient capital;

• expected substantial and continual losses for the foreseeable future;

• limited experience in dealing with regulatory issues;

• the lack of manufacturing experience and limited marketing experience;

• an expected reliance on third parties for the development and commercialization of our proposed products;

• a competitive environment characterized by numerous, well-established and well-capitalized competitors; and

• reliance on key personnel.

Because we are subject to these risks, you may have a difficult time evaluating our business and your investment in our company.

Our proposed products are in the product development stages and will likely not be commercially introduced for several years, if at all.

Our proposed products are in the product development stages and will require further development, pre-clinical and clinical testing and investment prior to commercialization in the United States and abroad. We cannot assure you that any of our proposed products will:

• be successfully developed;

• prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials;

• meet applicable regulatory standards;

• demonstrate substantial protective or therapeutic benefits in the prevention or treatment of any disease;

• be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at reasonable costs; or

• be successfully marketed.

We do not anticipate that any of our proposed products will receive the requisite regulatory approvals for commercialization in the United States or abroad for a number of years, if at all, and we cannot assure you that any of our proposed products, if approved and marketed, will generate significant product revenue and provide an acceptable return on our investment.

If we fail to obtain regulatory approval to commercially manufacture or sell any of our future products, or if approval is delayed, we will be unable to generate revenue from the sale of our products.

We must obtain regulatory approval to sell any of our products in the United States and abroad. In the United States, we must obtain the approval of the FDA for each vaccine or drug that we intend to commercialize. The FDA approval process is typically lengthy and expensive, and approval is never certain. Products distributed abroad are subject to similar foreign government regulation.

Generally, only a very small percentage of newly discovered pharmaceutical products that enter pre-clinical development are approved for sale. Because of the risks and uncertainties in biopharmaceutical development, our proposed products could take a significantly longer time to gain regulatory approval than we expect or may never gain approval. If regulatory approval is delayed or never obtained, our management’s credibility, the value of our company and our operating results could be adversely affected.

Moreover, even if the FDA approves a product, such approval may be conditioned upon commercially unacceptable limitations on the indications for which a product may be marketed, and further studies may be required to provide additional data on safety or effectiveness. The FDA may also require post-marketing surveillance programs to monitor the product’s side effects. The later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or manufacturer may result in restrictions or sanctions on the product or manufacturer, including the withdrawal of the product from the market.

To obtain regulatory approval to market our products, costly and lengthy pre-clinical studies and human clinical trials are required, and the results of the studies and trials are highly uncertain.

As part of the FDA approval process, we must conduct, at our own expense, pre-clinical studies on animals and clinical trials on humans on each of our proposed products. We expect

the number of pre-clinical studies and human clinical trials that the FDA will require will vary depending on the product, the disease or condition the product is being developed to address and regulations applicable to the particular product. We may need to perform multiple pre-clinical studies using various doses and formulations before we can begin human clinical trials, which could result in delays in our ability to market any of our products. Furthermore, even if we obtain favorable results in pre-clinical studies on animals, the results in humans may be different.

After we have conducted pre-clinical studies in animals, we must demonstrate that our products are safe and effective for use on the target human patients in order to receive regulatory approval for commercial sale. The data obtained from pre-clinical and human clinical testing are subject to varying interpretations that could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. Adverse or inconclusive human clinical results would prevent us from filing for regulatory approval of our products. Additional factors that can cause delay or termination of our human clinical trials include:

• slow patient enrollment;

• longer treatment time required to demonstrate efficacy or safety;

• adverse medical events or side effects in treated patients; and

• lack of effectiveness of the product being tested.

Uncertainties associated with the impact of published studies regarding the adverse health effects of certain forms of hormone therapy could adversely affect the trading price of our shares.

In July 2002, the National Institutes of Health released data from its Women’s Health Initiative study on the risks and benefits associated with long-term use of oral hormone therapy by healthy women. The National Institutes of Health announced that it was discontinuing the arm of the study investigating the use of oral estrogen/progestin combination hormone therapy products after an average follow-up period of 5.2 years because the product used in the study was shown to cause an increase in the risk of invasive breast cancer. The study also found an increased risk of stroke, heart attacks and blood clots and concluded that overall health risks exceeded benefits from use of combined estrogen plus progestin for an average of 5.2 year follow-up among healthy postmenopausal women. Also in July 2002, results of an observational study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute on the effects of estrogen therapy were announced. The main finding of the study was that postmenopausal women who used estrogen therapy for 10 or more years had a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer than women who never used hormone therapy. In October 2002, a significant hormone therapy study being conducted in the United Kingdom was also halted. BioSante’s proposed hormone therapy products differ from the products used in the Women’s Health Initiative study and the primary products observed in the National Cancer Institute and United Kingdom studies. There are, however, no studies comparing the safety of BioSante’s proposed hormone therapy products against other hormone therapies.

Although the range of consequences of these studies and the public debate they have inspired cannot be predicted, it is possible that they could result in a significant permanent decrease in the trading price of our shares. Health care regulators could delay the approval of new hormone therapy products, such as those presently under development by BioSante or require that any new hormone therapy products be subject to more extensive or more rigorous study and testing prior to being approved.

Other studies evaluating hormone therapy are currently underway or in the planning stages. In particular, the estrogen-only arm of the Women’s Health Initiative study is ongoing. BioSante is unable to predict the effect of these study results on the short and long-term prospects for the hormone therapy market, generally, or for the market for hormone therapy products, specifically. However, since publication of the Women’s Health Initiative and National Cancer Institute study data, United States prescriptions have declined for substantially all hormone therapy products. If the ongoing estrogen-only arm of the Women’s Health Institute study or any other currently ongoing hormone therapy study is halted, the market for hormone therapy products, both in the United States and abroad, could be further adversely impacted and could result in a significant permanent decrease in the trading price of our shares.

Because our industry is very competitive and our competitors have substantially greater capital resources and more experience in research and development, manufacturing and marketing than us, we may not succeed in developing our proposed products and bringing them to market.

Competition in the pharmaceutical industry is intense. Potential competitors in the United States and abroad are numerous and include pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology companies, most of which have substantially greater capital resources and more experience in research and development, manufacturing and marketing than us. Academic institutions, hospitals, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations are also conducting research and seeking patent protection and may develop and commercially introduce competing products or technologies on their own or through joint ventures. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not succeed in developing similar technologies and products more rapidly than we do or that these competing technologies and products will not be more effective than any of those that we are currently developing or will develop.

We license the technology underlying our proposed hormone therapy products and our CAP technology from third parties and may lose the rights to license them.

We license the technology underlying our proposed hormone therapy products from Antares Pharma, Inc. and our CAP technology from the University of California. We may lose our right to license these technologies if we breach our obligations under the license agreements. Although we intend to use our reasonable best efforts to meet these obligations, if we violate or fail to perform any term or covenant of the license agreements or with respect to the University of California’s license agreement within 60 days after written notice from the University of California, the other party to these agreements may terminate these agreements or certain projects contained in these agreements. The termination of these agreements, however, will not relieve us of our obligation to pay any royalty or license fees owing at the time of termination. Our failure to retain the right to license the technology underlying our proposed hormone therapy products or CAP technology could harm our business and future operating results. For example, if we were to enter into an outlicense agreement with a third party under which we agree to outlicense our hormone therapy products or CAP technology for a license fee, the termination of the main license agreement with Antares Pharma, Inc. or the University of California could either, depending upon the terms of the outlicense agreement, cause us to breach our obligations under the outlicense agreement or give the other party a right to terminate that agreement, thereby causing us to lose future revenue generated by the outlicense fees.

We do not have any facilities appropriate for clinical testing, we lack significant manufacturing experience and we have very limited sales and marketing personnel. We may, therefore, be dependent upon others for our clinical testing, manufacturing, sales and marketing.

Our current facilities do not include accommodation for the testing of our proposed products in animals or in humans for the clinical testing required by the FDA. We do not have a manufacturing facility that can be used for full-scale production of our products. In addition, at this time, we have very limited sales and marketing personnel. In the course of our development program, we will therefore be required to enter into arrangements with other companies or universities for our animal testing, human clinical testing, manufacturing, and sales and marketing activities. If we are unable to retain third parties for these purposes on acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop, manufacture and market our proposed products. In addition, any failures by third parties to adequately perform their responsibilities may delay the submission of our proposed products for regulatory approval, impair our ability to deliver our products on a timely basis or otherwise impair our competitive position. Our dependence on third parties for the development, manufacture, sale and marketing of our products also may adversely affect our profit margins.

If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology, we may not be able to compete as effectively.

The pharmaceutical industry places considerable importance on obtaining patent and trade secret protection for new technologies, products and processes. Our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to obtain, enjoy and enforce protection for any products we develop or acquire under United States and foreign patent laws and other intellectual property laws, preserve the confidentiality of our trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.

Where appropriate, we seek patent protection for certain aspects of our technology. In February 2000, we filed a patent application relating to our CAP technology. However, our owned and licensed patents and patent applications will not ensure the protection of our intellectual property for a number of other reasons:

• We do not know whether our patent applications will result in actual patents. For example, we may not have developed a method for treating a disease before others develop similar methods.

• Competitors may interfere with our patent process in a variety of ways. Competitors may claim that they invented the claimed invention before us or may claim that we are infringing on their patents and therefore cannot use our technology as claimed under our patent. Competitors may also contest our patents by showing the patent examiner that the invention was not original or novel or was obvious.

• We are in the research and development stage and are in the process of developing proposed products. Even if we receive a patent, it may not provide much practical protection. If we receive a patent with a narrow scope, then it will be easier for competitors to design products that do not infringe on our patent. Even if the development of our proposed products is successful and approval for sale is obtained, there can be no assurance that applicable patent coverage, if any, will not have expired

or will not expire shortly after this approval. Any expiration of the applicable patent could have a material adverse effect on the sales and profitability of our proposed product.

• Enforcing patents is expensive and may require significant time by our management. In litigation, a competitor could claim that our issued patents are not valid for a number of reasons. If the court agrees, we would lose that patent.

• We may also support and collaborate in research conducted by government organizations or universities. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to acquire any exclusive rights to technology or products derived from these collaborations. If we do not obtain required licenses or rights, we could encounter delays in product development while we attempt to design around other patents or we may be prohibited from developing, manufacturing or selling products requiring these licenses. There is also a risk that disputes may arise as to the rights to technology or products developed in collaboration with other parties.

It is also unclear whether our trade secrets will provide useful protection. While we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees or consultants may unintentionally or willfully disclose our proprietary information to competitors. Enforcing a claim that someone else illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets, like patent litigation, is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how.

Claims by others that our products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial condition.

The pharmaceutical industry has been characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Patent applications are maintained in secrecy in the United States until the patents are issued and are also maintained in secrecy for a period of time outside the United States. Accordingly, we can conduct only limited searches to determine whether our technology infringes any patents or patent applications of others. Any claims of patent infringement would be time-consuming and could likely:

• result in costly litigation;

• divert the time and attention of our technical personnel and management;

• cause product development delays;

• require us to develop non-infringing technology; or

• require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.

Although patent and intellectual property disputes in the pharmaceutical industry have often been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with these arrangements may be substantial and often require the payment of ongoing royalties, which could hurt our gross margins. In addition, we cannot be sure that the necessary licenses would be available to us on satisfactory terms, or that we could redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement, if necessary. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding, or the failure to obtain necessary licenses, could prevent us from developing, manufacturing and selling some of our products, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to interest rate risk on the investments of our excess cash. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximize yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we invest in highly liquid and high quality debt securities. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we invest in short-term securities with maturities of less than one year. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we have concluded that we do not have a material market risk of exposure.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-14 and 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of our evaluation.
