NOTE A – OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     We are a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research, development, manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical proteins for the treatment of viral and malignant diseases. Our product portfolio includes: Multiferon® (multiple-subtype, natural human alpha interferon) targeting a broad range of infectious and malignant diseases; and humanized monoclonal antibodies targeting specific antigens over-expressed on many types of cancers in humans. We are also pioneering the development of Avian Transgenic Technology, with the Roslin Institute, as a revolutionary manufacturing platform for the large-scale, efficient and economical production of therapeutic proteins and antibodies.
     As of December 31, 2005, we owned approximately 81.2% of Viragen International, Inc. We operate primarily through Viragen International, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ViraNative AB (“ViraNative”), a company located in Umeå, Sweden, and Viragen (Scotland) Limited (“Viragen (Scotland)”), a company located near Edinburgh, Scotland. ViraNative and Viragen (Scotland) house our manufacturing and research laboratory facilities.
     The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements include Viragen, Inc., Viragen International, Inc. and all subsidiaries, including those operating outside the United States of America. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Minority interest in net loss of subsidiary represents the minority stockholders’ share of the net loss of Viragen International. During April 2005, the stockholders’ equity of Viragen International decreased to a deficit position. Because the minority stockholders are not required to fund the deficit, we ceased attributing a portion of Viragen International’s losses to the minority stockholders at that time. Since then, Viragen has absorbed 100% of Viragen International’s losses and will continue to do so until Viragen International has positive stockholders’ equity.
     The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements for Viragen, Inc. have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The accounting estimates that require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include: the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets; and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
     The interim financial information is unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.

NOTE A – OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION – (Continued)
     During the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 we incurred a loss of approximately $4.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, we incurred significant losses of approximately $26.2 million, $18.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $156.4 million as of December 31, 2005. We had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $1.9 million and working capital of approximately $2.2 million at December 31, 2005. We anticipate additional future losses as we commercialize our natural human alpha interferon product and conduct additional research and development activities and clinical trials to obtain additional regulatory approvals. We believe we have sufficient cash to support operations, including those of our subsidiaries, through February 2006. We will require substantial additional funding to support our operations subsequent to February 2006. As we do not anticipate achieving sufficient cash flows from operations, we are seeking additional capital through equity or debt financings. No assurance can be given that additional capital will be available when required or upon terms acceptable to us. Our inability to generate substantial revenue or obtain additional capital through equity or debt financings, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to continue operations. Accordingly, if we are unable to obtain additional financing by the end of February 2006, we could be forced to significantly curtail or suspend our operations, including laying-off employees, recording asset impairment write-downs and other measures.
     Due to our financial condition, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our June 30, 2005 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
     Viragen received a deficiency letter from the American Stock Exchange (Amex) dated September 20, 2005, advising that, based upon its review of Viragen’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, Viragen is not in compliance with Amex’s continued listing standards. Specifically, Viragen is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Amex Company Guide, because the Company’s stockholders’ equity is less than $4,000,000 and it sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years, and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Amex Company Guide, because the Company’s stockholders’ equity is less than $6,000,000 and it sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. Viragen submitted a plan to Amex which outlines Viragen’s plans to regain compliance with Amex’s continued listing standards. On October 25, 2005, Amex notified Viragen that it accepted Viragen’s plan of compliance and granted Viragen an extension of time until March 20, 2007 to regain compliance with Amex’s continued listing standards. Viragen will be subject to periodic review by Amex during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in Viragen’s shares being delisted from Amex. We have provided quarterly updates to Amex regarding our progress with the plan.
     Viragen’s outstanding convertible debt contains a provision that in the event its common stock is no longer traded on the Amex, New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, the debt holders have the right to request repayment of their investment with related accrued interest. Given Viragen’s current financial position, if the convertible debt holders were to request payment, we would be unable to repay these amounts and would be in default of the debt agreements.

NOTE B – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     At December 31, 2005, we had one active stock-based compensation plan, the 1997 Stock Option Plan, which is approved by our stockholders. Our 1995 Stock Option Plan expired in May 2005 and no new options may be granted under this plan. Prior to July 1, 2005, we accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. No stock-based compensation cost was recognized in the statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
     Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, stock-based compensation cost recognized subsequent to July 1, 2005 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all stock-based compensation granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 123(R). For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized approximately $4,000 and $9,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs in the statement of operations for stock options granted to employees and directors prior to July 1, 2005, which were not fully vested as of July 1, 2005. No stock-based compensation was granted during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
     The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per common share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R) to measure stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.

     Inventories consist of raw materials and supplies, work in process, and finished product. Finished product consists of purified natural human alpha interferon that is available for sale. Costs of raw materials and supplies are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Costs of work in process and finished product, consisting of raw materials, labor and overhead are recorded at a standard cost (which approximates actual cost). Excess/idle capacity costs represent fixed production costs incurred at our Swedish manufacturing facility, which were not absorbed as a result of the production of inventory at less than normal operating levels. Excess/idle capacity costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and are included in cost of sales.
     Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (estimated net realizable value). If the cost of the inventories exceeds their expected market value, provisions are recorded currently for the difference between the cost and the market value. These provisions are determined based on estimates. The valuation of our inventories also requires us to estimate excess inventories and inventories that are not saleable. The determination of excess or non-saleable inventories requires us to estimate the future demand for our product and consider the shelf life of the inventory. If actual demand is less than our estimated demand, we could be required to record inventory write-downs, which would have an adverse impact on our results of operations. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we determined that a portion of our work in process inventory would not be converted to finished product prior to expiration. Therefore, we recorded a write-down for this inventory of approximately $104,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, a freezer at one of our facilities in Sweden malfunctioned causing the temperature of certain work in process to rise above the approved levels for frozen product. As a result, we are unable to utilize this inventory for commercial purposes and we recorded a net write-down of approximately $91,000, which was net of an insurance recovery of approximately $486,000.
     Inventories consisted of the following at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005:
                 
    December 31,     June 30,  
    2005     2005  
Finished product
  $ 609,162     $ 19,234  
Work in process
    831,177       2,031,981  
Raw materials and supplies

Total inventories
  $ 1,750,125     $ 2,349,513  
 
           
     Certain raw materials used in the manufacture of our natural human alpha interferon product, including human white blood cells, are only available from a limited number of suppliers. We are dependent on our suppliers to allocate a sufficient portion of their capacity to meet our needs.

NOTE D – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
     On September 28, 2001, Viragen International, Inc., our majority owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding shares of BioNative AB (“BioNative”), a privately held biotechnology company located in Umeå, Sweden. Subsequent to the acquisition, BioNative was renamed ViraNative. The initial purchase consideration consisted of 2,933,190 shares of Viragen International common stock. In January 2002, ViraNative achieved two milestones defined in the acquisition agreement. As a result, the former shareholders of ViraNative were issued an additional 8,799,570 shares of Viragen International common stock.
     The goodwill reported in our balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 arose from Viragen International’s acquisition of ViraNative and the subsequent achievement of the milestones. Subsequent to the initial recording of goodwill, the carrying amount has increased as a result of foreign currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Swedish Krona. The following table reflects the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended December 31, 2005:
         
Balance as of June 30, 2005
  $ 3,653,159  
Foreign exchange adjustment
    (60,028 )
 
     
Balance as of December 31, 2005
  $ 3,593,131  
 
     
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or sooner if indicators of impairment arise. We periodically evaluate that acquired business for potential impairment indicators. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on legal factors, market conditions, and the operational performance of the acquired business. As of April 1, 2005, we evaluated our goodwill for impairment. The impairment review indicated that our goodwill was impaired and, as a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $6.9 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Future changes in the estimates used to conduct the impairment review, including revenue projections or market values, could cause our analysis to indicate that our goodwill is further impaired in subsequent periods and result in a write-off of a portion or all of our goodwill.
     The developed technology intangible asset reported in our balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 arose from Viragen International’s acquisition of ViraNative on September 28, 2001. A detail of our developed technology intangible asset as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 is as follows:

     Our developed technology consists of the production and purification methods developed by ViraNative prior to the acquisition by Viragen International. This technology was complete and ViraNative had been selling the resultant natural interferon product prior to the acquisition by Viragen International. Developed technology was recorded at its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to the initial recording of this intangible asset, the gross carrying amount has increased by approximately $502,000 as a result of foreign currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Swedish Krona.
     Developed technology is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 14 years. The 14-year life assigned to this asset was determined using a weighted average of the remaining lives of the patents on the various components of the production and purification processes.

     At December 31, 2005 the convertible notes and debentures balance was comprised of convertible notes issued on June 18, 2004, with an outstanding principal amount of $13.93 million, and convertible debentures issued September 15, 2005 with an outstanding principal amount of $1.94 million. At June 30, 2005 the convertible notes and debentures balance was comprised solely of convertible notes issued on June 18, 2004, with an outstanding principal amount of $20.00 million. In September 2005, the terms of the notes issued on June 18, 2004 were modified resulting in a reclassification of the principal due from current to long term.
September 15, 2005 Convertible Debentures
     On September 15, 2005, Viragen, Inc. entered into a securities purchase agreement under which Viragen sold its convertible, amortizing debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million to four returning institutional investors. Under the terms of the agreement, Viragen received approximately $1.2 million, net of original issue discounts of $570,000, a $200,000 finder’s fee and legal expenses. This agreement also provided for the issuance to the purchasers of an aggregate of 952,381 three-year common stock purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $1.25 per share.

NOTE E – CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND DEBENTURES – (Continued)
     The debentures are convertible at a conversion price of $1.05 per share, subject to adjustment, including in the event that Viragen subsequently issues securities at less than the conversion price then in effect. The debentures provide for amortization in 32 equal monthly installments of principal, commencing on January 1, 2006. Monthly amortization payments may be made, at Viragen’s option, in cash, accompanied by a 10% premium, or in shares of its common stock at a 5% discount to market price (computed by reference to the volume weighted average price of Viragen’s common stock during the five trading day period immediately preceding the amortization due date). Viragen has the right to require the debenture holders to convert their debentures in the event that the volume weighted average price of Viragen common stock exceeds $2.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures are covered by an effective registration statement, and certain other conditions are met.
     In lieu of interest, the debentures provided for an original issue discount equal to $570,000, the equivalent of 9.5% interest over the three year life of the debentures. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized approximately $71,000 and $82,000, respectively, as interest expense from the amortization of the original issue discount.
     The warrants issued in connection with these debentures are exercisable during the three year period ending September 15, 2008. Subject to certain conditions, Viragen has the right to call the warrants if the volume weighted average price for Viragen common stock exceeds 250% of the prevailing exercise price of the warrants for 20 consecutive trading days. The relative fair value of these warrants was calculated to be approximately $166,000 using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The relative fair value of these warrants was recorded as a discount on the principal amount of the debentures and will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debentures. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized approximately $21,000 and $24,000, respectively, as non-cash interest expense from the amortization of the discount that arose from the issuance of the warrants.
     We incurred costs of approximately $290,000 in connection with the debentures issued under the September 15, 2005 securities purchase agreement, which primarily consisted of the finder’s fees, registration fees and legal and accounting expenses. These costs will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debentures using the effective interest rate method. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized approximately $36,000 and $42,000, respectively, as interest expense from the amortization of these debt issuance costs.
     Resale of the shares issuable upon conversion or payment of the debentures and upon exercise of warrants is registered under our Form S-3 registration statement (File No. 333-129319) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on November 9, 2005. If, following the effective date of the registration statement, the registration statement ceases to remain effective for ten consecutive calendar days, but no more than an aggregate of fifteen days during any twelve month period, or if Viragen fails to deliver unlegended shares to the investors as and when required, Viragen is subject to the payment of liquidated damages, payable in cash, based on a percentage of the aggregate purchase price of the then outstanding balance of the convertible debentures.
     During December 2005, we made cash payments aggregating $68,750 to the September 15, 2005 convertible debenture holders, which represented the first of 32 monthly installments on these debentures, including the additional 10% premium. As of December 31, 2005, $1.93 million of the principal amount of these convertible debentures remained outstanding.

June 2004 Convertible Notes, as amended
     On April 1, 2004, we entered into purchase agreements for the issuance and sale of 7% convertible promissory notes due March 31, 2006 and common stock purchase warrants in the aggregate amount of $20 million. The notes were placed with a group of new and returning institutional investors. The $20 million purchase price for the notes and warrants was placed in escrow pending satisfaction of all conditions precedent to closing, including receipt of stockholder approval for the sale of the notes and warrants, as well as a one for ten reverse split of our common stock. On June 11, 2004, our stockholders voted to approve the sale of the notes and a one for ten reverse split of our common stock. On June 18, 2004, we completed the sale of the notes and warrants. Under the terms of these agreements, we received approximately $18.96 million, net of finder’s fees and legal expenses. These agreements also provided for the issuance to the purchasers of an aggregate of 5,357,051 three-year common stock purchase warrants that were exercisable at $1.819 per share.
     On September 15, 2005, we entered into agreements with each of the eight holders of these notes to:
    extend the maturity date of the notes from March 31, 2006 to August 31, 2008;
 
    provide for mandatory conversion of the notes if the volume weighted average price for the Company’s common stock exceeds $2.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days;
 
    amend the adjustment provisions of the notes and the warrants issued in connection therewith to provide for “full ratchet” rather than “weighted average” adjustments in the event that the Company issues securities in the future (other than an “exempt issuance” as defined in the notes) for a price of less than the then current conversion price of the notes or 119% of the then current exercise price of the warrants, as the case may be. Full ratchet adjustments reduce the conversion and exercise prices to the lowest price at which Viragen may issue securities in the future. Weighted average adjustments reduce the conversion and exercise prices to a lower price, weighted based upon the average price at which Viragen’s shares have been sold;
 
    expand the definition of “exempt issuance” under the notes and related warrants to exclude from the adjustment provisions of the notes and related warrants, the Company’s issuance of shares (a) in a firm commitment public offering by a reputable underwriter, (b) under equity compensation plans approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors or a majority of the non-employee members of a committee of the board, (c) in connection with any future acquisition of the minority interest in Viragen International, Inc. and (d) in connection with strategic transactions not undertaken for the primary purpose of raising capital.
     Under the terms of the agreements, the conversion price of the convertible notes was reduced to $1.05 per share and the exercise price of the related common stock purchase warrants was reduced to $1.25 per share. As a result of the reduction in the exercise price of common stock purchase warrants, the holders were entitled to an additional 2.4 million common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The conversion price of the notes and exercise price of the warrants are subject to reductions, with certain exceptions, if we enter into additional financing transactions for the sale of our stock below the market price or below the conversion price of the notes or below the exercise price of the warrants.

NOTE E – CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND DEBENTURES – (Continued)
     As a result of the amendments to the June 2004 convertible notes and the financial condition of the Company, the modifications to the notes (which included a reduction of the conversion price and extension on the maturity date) were accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under SFAS No. 15, Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings and EITF 02-04, Determining Whether a Debtor’s Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments is within the Scope of FASB Statement No. 15. A modification in a troubled debt restructuring is accounted for prospectively. As a result of the reduced exercise price of the warrants and the issuance of additional warrants on September 15, 2005, we recorded an additional discount of approximately $427,000 on the principal amount of the notes. This additional discount, together with the unamortized original discount as of the modification date, will be amortized over the new term of the notes using the effective interest rate method.
     The relative fair value of the warrants initially issued was calculated to be approximately $3,264,000 using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The relative fair value of these warrants was recorded as a discount on the principal amount of the notes. As discussed above, we recorded an additional discount of approximately $427,000 on the principal amount of the notes due to the reduction of the exercise price of the warrants and the issuance of additional warrants. The aggregate discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the life of the notes. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized non-cash interest expense from the amortization of this discount of approximately $440,000 and $1,015,000, respectively, compared to $364,000 and $692,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004. All common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with this transaction remain unexercised as of December 31, 2005.
     As a result of the common stock purchase warrants initially issued in connection with the notes and the calculated effective conversion price of the notes, a beneficial conversion amount of approximately $4,372,000 was calculated and recorded as a discount on the principal amount of the notes at the date of issuance. This discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the life of the notes. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized non-cash interest expense from the amortization of this discount of approximately $439,000 and $1,154,000, respectively, compared to $488,000 and $927,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.
     In connection with the April 1, 2004 purchase agreements, we incurred costs of approximately $1,161,000. These costs primarily consisted of the finder’s fee of 5%, or $1 million, the fair value of 80,000 three-year common stock purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $1.516 per share issued to the finder, and legal and accounting expenses. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest rate method. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized interest expense from the amortization of these debt issuance costs of approximately $116,000 and $306,000, respectively, compared to $130,000 and $246,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.
     Interest on the notes remains payable quarterly and is payable in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock based upon the average market price of our common stock during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to and including the interest payment date, subject to certain conditions.

     These notes may be prepaid at 110% of their face amount, plus the issuance to note holders of additional warrants to purchase the number of shares of our common stock into which the notes would otherwise have been convertible, at an exercise price equal to the prevailing conversion price of the notes. If issued on prepayment, the warrants may be exercised for the period that would have been the remaining life of the notes had they not been prepaid. We also have the right to require note holders to convert their notes, subject to certain limitations; provided that the volume weighted average price of our common stock exceeds $2.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days.
     As of December 31, 2005, $13.93 million of the principal amount of these convertible notes remained outstanding. The amount of interest on these notes for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 at 7% totaled approximately $284,000 and $629,000, respectively. Quarterly interest due January 1, 2006 was satisfied through the issuance of 576,857 shares of our common stock valued at $0.49 per share. Quarterly interest due October 1, 2005 was satisfied through the payment of approximately $258,000 in cash and the issuance of 142,322 shares of our common stock valued at $0.61 per share.
     Resale of the shares issuable upon conversion or payment of the notes and related interest and upon exercise of warrants are registered under our Form S-3 registration statement (File No. 333-117338) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on July 28, 2004. If, following the effective date of the registration statement, the registration statement ceases to remain effective or if Viragen fails to deliver unlegended shares to the investors as and when required, Viragen is subject to the payment of liquidated damages, payable in cash, based on a percentage of the aggregate purchase price of the then outstanding balance of the convertible notes.

NOTE F – DEBT
Line of Credit and Short Term Borrowings
     Our Swedish subsidiary maintains an overdraft facility, denominated in Swedish Krona, with a bank in Sweden. In July 2004, the terms of this overdraft facility were renegotiated to provide for a reduced interest rate and a reduction in the maximum borrowing capacity. The maximum borrowing capacity on this overdraft facility was approximately $710,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $767,000 at June 30, 2005. Borrowings outstanding under this overdraft facility are at a floating rate of interest, which was approximately 5.25% at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. The overdraft facility was renewed in December 2005 and will expire at the end of February 2006. There was no outstanding balance under this overdraft facility as of December 31, 2005 or June 30, 2005. This overdraft facility is secured by certain assets of ViraNative including inventories and accounts receivable.
     During August 2005, we obtained short term financing of approximately $52,000 for the purchase of certain corporate insurance policies. Outstanding borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at an effective rate of 7.45%. Principal and interest payments of approximately $5,000 are payable in ten equal monthly installments. The outstanding balance on this short term borrowing was approximately $26,000 as of December 31, 2005.
     During June 2005, we obtained short term financing of approximately $224,000 for the purchase of certain corporate insurance policies. Outstanding borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at an effective rate of 6.86%. Principal and interest payments of approximately $26,000 are payable in nine equal monthly installments. The outstanding balance on this short term borrowing was approximately $76,000 and $224,000 as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.
Long-Term Debt
     Our Swedish subsidiary has a 25-year mortgage with a Swedish bank obtained to purchase one of our facilities in Sweden. The outstanding principal balance on this loan, which is payable in Swedish Krona, was approximately $605,000 and $631,000 at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. This loan carries a floating rate of interest, which was approximately 5.25% at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. We are required to make quarterly payments of principal and interest of approximately $17,000 under this agreement. This loan matures in September 2024 and is secured by the related land and building, including improvements, which had a carrying value of approximately $2.2 million and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.
     During November 2005, we obtained financing denominated in British Pounds of approximately $84,000 for the purchase of certain laboratory equipment. Outstanding borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at an effective rate of 7.92%. Following an initial payment of principal and interest of approximately $15,000, principal and interest payments are payable in 33 monthly installments on a stepped reducing balance basis; nine payments of approximately $3,700, twelve payments of approximately $2,200 and twelve payments of $1,500. The outstanding balance on this borrowing was approximately $65,000 as of December 31, 2005.

NOTE I – ROYALTY AGREEMENT
     In November 1986, we entered into a royalty agreement with Medicore, Inc. with respect to interferon, transfer factor and products using interferon and transfer factor. The agreement was subsequently amended in November 1989 and May 1993. The amended agreement provides for a maximum cap on royalties to be paid to Medicore of $2,400,000. It includes a schedule of royalty payments of:
    Ÿ 5% of the first $7,000,000 of sales,
 
    Ÿ 4% of the next $10,000,000, and
 
    Ÿ 3% of the next $55,000,000
     These royalties are to be paid until the total of $2,400,000 is achieved. The amended agreement also states that royalties of approximately $108,000 accrued prior to May 1993 under the agreement are payable to Medicore as the final payment. From May 1993 through September 2001, we paid royalties under the amended agreement totaling approximately $70,000.
     Royalties owed to Medicore of approximately $90,000, based on our natural human alpha interferon sales from October 1, 2001 through June 30, 2003, were payable in three installments: $30,000 was payable by August 1, 2003; $30,000 was payable by August 1, 2004; and $30,000 was payable by August 1, 2005. The three installments totaling $90,000, plus $4,500 in interest, have been made. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, in accordance with the terms of the amended agreement, royalties are paid to Medicore based on sales of natural human alpha interferon on a quarterly basis. For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, royalties due under the agreement totaled approximately $6,000 and $2,000, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, royalties due under the agreement totaled approximately $10,000 and $4,000, respectively.
NOTE J – TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
     We provide certain administrative services including management and general corporate assistance to Viragen International, our majority owned subsidiary. We also incur certain costs attributable to Viragen International including insurance and rent. These expenses are charged on the basis of direct usage, when identifiable, or on the basis of estimated time spent. We believe that the expenses allocated to Viragen International are representative of the operating expenses incurred on their behalf. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, expenses allocated to Viragen International totaled approximately $312,000 and $650,000, respectively, compared to approximately $343,000 and $690,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively.
     Viragen (Scotland), a wholly owned subsidiary of Viragen International, conducts research and development and performs administrative functions on our behalf. These costs incurred by Viragen (Scotland) relate to oncology and avian transgenic projects and are allocated to us as incurred. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, research and development costs allocated by Viragen (Scotland) totaled approximately $523,000 and $1,009,000, respectively, compared to approximately $386,000 and $733,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively. The amount of administrative expenses allocated by Viragen (Scotland) was nil and approximately $6,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, compared to approximately $25,000 and $70,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.

NOTE J – TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES – (Continued)
     During the quarter ended December 31, 2004 we recorded a $596,000 gain on the remeasurement of a liability to us by Viragen (Scotland), which was denominated in U.S. dollars. This amount has been recorded in the other income line item of our statement of operations. In prior periods, this liability had been translated at historical exchange rates since this liability was determined to be long-term in nature. This determination was based on the fact that Viragen (Scotland) did not have the ability or intent to repay the liability to us. Beginning in fiscal 2002, Viragen (Scotland) began gradually settling the liability by charging us for services performed on our behalf. Management anticipates the liability will be settled through these charges in the near term. Therefore, it was determined that the account should no longer be considered long-term and thus translation at current exchange rates is appropriate. Since the liability was denominated in U.S. dollars and the Pound Sterling had been strengthening against the U.S. dollar over the last few years, the remeasurement of the liability resulted in a gain. Had the determination been made when Viragen (Scotland) began settling the liability with charges to us in prior periods and the liability been remeasured at then current exchange rates, the impact on the statements of operations would not have been material and there would have been no effect on total stockholders’ equity as such currency gains are reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income.
     In connection with the acquisition of ViraNative discussed in Note D, the former shareholders of ViraNative are entitled to additional shares of Viragen International common stock contingent upon the attainment of certain milestones related to regulatory approvals:
    8,799,570 additional shares when and if a Mutual Recognition Procedures application is filed and receives approval from the requisite national and European Union regulatory authorities for the use, sale and marketing of Multiferon® in certain countries, which must include Germany; and
 
    2,933,190 additional shares when and if Multiferon® has been approved by the requisite regulatory bodies in the European Union for the treatment of Melanoma or when Multiferon® has been approved by the requisite regulatory bodies for sale in the United States of America.
     If and as each of these milestones is met, additional shares of Viragen International will be issued.
NOTE K – CONTRIBUTION
     During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, we received a contribution in the amount of $278,000 from a business development agency in Sweden. This contribution was awarded in connection with our capital investment in our renovated facility in Umeå, Sweden, which was completed during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. This contribution was recorded as a reduction of the cost of the building improvements. We could be required to repay a portion of this contribution if we do not meet certain conditions under the award, including, but not limited to, keeping the facility in operation. The amount we could be required to repay decreases on an annual basis beginning in July 2005. After July 2005, we could only be required to repay 70% of the award. Upon the second, third and fourth anniversaries, the repayment amount decreases to 45%, 25% and 10%, respectively, of the award. At this time, we have no reason to believe we will be required to repay any portion of the contribution.

NOTE L – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs — an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. Historically, we have expensed such costs as incurred. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 151 as of the beginning of our 2006 fiscal year, which commenced July 1, 2005, did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
     In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement for APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It requires prior period financial statements to be restated for voluntary changes in accounting principles. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We have no plans to adopt a voluntary change in accounting principle and believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
     We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development, manufacture and commercialization of innovative technologies and products used to treat infectious diseases and cancers in humans. Through collaborations with recognized experts, companies and institutions worldwide we are developing leading-edge science to combat hepatitis, melanoma, ovarian cancer, breast cancer and other cancers.
     Our product and technology portfolio includes,
    Multiferon®, natural leukocyte-derived multi-subtype interferon alpha, used in the treatment of a number of viral diseases and cancer indications.
 
    Avian Transgenics, whereby we intend to develop and use transgenic chickens to produce therapeutic proteins and antibodies for human use in the whites of eggs.
 
    VG101, an antibody to the GD3 antigen, which is over-expressed on malignant melanoma tumors, thereby preventing the body’s natural immune system from stopping cancer cell growth and proliferation.
 
    VG102, an antibody to the CD55 antigen, which is over-expressed on nearly all solid cancerous tumors and which prevents the body’s natural immune system from killing cancer cells.
     We own approximately 81.2% of Viragen International, Inc. We operate primarily through Viragen International Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ViraNative AB (“ViraNative”), a company located in Umeå, Sweden, and Viragen (Scotland) Limited (“Viragen (Scotland)”), a company located near Edinburgh, Scotland. ViraNative and Viragen (Scotland) house our manufacturing and research laboratory facilities.
Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results
     This document and other documents we may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain forward-looking statements. Also, our management may make forward-looking statements orally to investors, analysts the media and others. Forward-looking statements express our expectations or predictions of future events or results. They are not guarantees and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. There are a number of factors—many beyond our control—that could cause actual events or results to be significantly different from those described in the forward-looking statement. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report or in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong.
     Forward-looking statements might include one or more of the following:
    anticipated debt or equity fundings;
 
    projections of future revenue;
 
    anticipated clinical trial commencement dates, completion timelines or results;
 
    anticipated receipt of regulatory approvals;
 
    descriptions of plans or objectives of management for future operations, products or services;
 
    forecasts of future economic performance; and
 
    descriptions or assumptions underlying or relating to any of the above items.
     Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” or words of similar meaning. They may also use words such as “would,” “should,” “could” or “may”.

     Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include the risks and uncertainties discussed below, as well as in the “Risk Factors” section included in our Prospectus (File No. 333-129319) filed November 14, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should read them. You should also read the risks and uncertainties identified from time to time in our reports on Form 10-Q or 10-K, and registration statements on Form S-3 and amendments, if any, to these documents. Viragen will provide you with a copy of any or all of these reports at no charge. Copies of these documents may also be obtained free of charge from our website at www.viragen.com or the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. The information on our website is neither incorporated into, nor a part of, this report.
     Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by a number of risks and uncertainties, which could result in our having to curtail or possibly suspend or cease operations. These risks and uncertainties include the following:
    whether we are able to secure sufficient funding to maintain our operations, complete clinical trials and successfully market our product and otherwise continue as a going concern;
 
    whether our stock price will enable us to conduct future financings;
 
    whether we are able to service our indebtedness and/or repay indebtedness as and when due, and otherwise meet our obligations to our lenders;
 
    whether we can generate revenue sufficient to offset our historical losses and achieve profitability;
 
    whether the efficacy, production, price and timing of approvals of our natural human alpha interferon will enable us to compete with other well established, highly capitalized, biopharmaceutical companies;
 
    whether clinical testing confirms the efficacy of our product, and results in the receipt of regulatory approvals. We have not sought the approval of our natural human alpha interferon product from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or its European Union counterparts, except Sweden;
 
    whether our patent applications result in the issuance of patents, or whether patents and other intellectual property rights provide adequate protections in the event of misappropriation or infringement by third parties;
 
    whether our avian transgenics program will succeed in being able to produce targeted drugs in egg whites of transgenic chickens in commercially viable quantities; and
 
    whether, despite receipt of regulatory approvals, our products are accepted as a treatment superior to that of our competitors.
     Our natural human alpha interferon product was developed and is manufactured in Sweden. Our avian transgenic and certain oncology programs are also being researched and developed in Europe. Our dependence on foreign manufacturing and expected international sales exposes us to a number of risks, including:
    unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
 
    tariffs and other trade barriers, including import and export restrictions;
 
    political or economic instability;
 
    compliance with foreign laws;
 
    transportation delays and interruptions;
 
    difficulties in protecting intellectual property rights in foreign countries; and
 
    currency exchange risks.

Recent Developments
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
     Viragen held its annual meeting of stockholders on December 15, 2005. At the meeting, the stockholders voted in favor of (a) electing two directors to the board of directors who were classified as class B directors, to serve for a three-year term and until their successors have been elected and qualified, (b) approving, in accordance with the rules of the American Stock Exchange, the Company’s September 15, 2005 securities purchase agreement and the possible issuance at less than market value of more than 19.9% of Viragen’s outstanding common stock pursuant thereto, (c) an amendment to Viragen’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that Viragen is authorized to issue from 100 million shares to 250 million shares and (d) ratifying the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm.
Other Announcements
     In January 2006, Viragen announced successful expression of significant quantities of the human protein, interferon beta-1a, in the whites of eggs laid by transgenic hens using the OVA™ System (Avian Transgenic Biomanufacturing). Interferon-beta is a key component of the human immune system and is the active ingredient in several leading multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies. These results are the first in a series of anticipated milestones demonstrating “Proof-of-Principle” with an avian-expressed version of interferon-beta, and it is expected that the OVA™ System will be capable of cost-effectively expressing many types of therapeutic proteins.
     Viragen and the Roslin Institute are conducting avian expression studies on various protein candidates including interferon beta-1a, which is currently marketed under two competing brand names for the treatment of MS. These MS products are Avonex(R), marketed by Biogen Idec, and Rebif(R), marketed by Serono, with combined annual global sales over $2.5 billion. Viragen has no agreements with Biogen Idec or Serono and did not collaborate with either company in connection with these avian expression studies.
     We have met with the regulatory authorities in Sweden on multiple occasions to answer questions regarding our application seeking to expand the approval for Multiferon® to include the first-line adjuvant treatment of high-risk malignant melanoma, in Sweden, following dacarbazine (DTIC) after surgical removal of tumors. We believe that we have provided satisfactory responses and expect a final decision in the very near-term. Assuming we receive final approval for this important indication in Sweden, we are prepared to launch this new indication immediately.
     On December 6, 2005, we announced that we entered into a license agreement with Kuhnil Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. headquartered in Seoul, Korea to distribute Multiferon® in South Korea. Kuhnil is a rapidly growing, leading manufacturer, developer and marketer of pharmaceuticals in Korea with a specialty focus in oncology, covering an expansive network of clinics, physicians and hospitals with over 300 sales representatives. Kuhnil is a privately-held company established in 1951 in Seoul, South Korea.
     We received a small up-front license fee in exchange for providing exclusive marketing rights to Multiferon® in South Korea for a period of ten years. The agreement provides that Kuhnil shall take all measures necessary to achieve regulatory approval for Multiferon® in South Korea, as required by the Korean health regulatory authority, KFDA. The South Korean regulatory approval process is expected to take approximately 12 months.

     On November 18, 2005, we announced that preliminary in vitro studies conducted by a U.S. research organization found Multiferon® to show significant anti-viral activity against the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of avian influenza virus. These early-stage studies found Multiferon® to be significantly more active against the virus than recombinant alpha interferon, recombinant beta interferon or ribavirin. We believe these results suggest that Multiferon® may have utility against this viral threat and is a prime candidate worthy of further evaluation in additional avian influenza studies.
     The studies were conducted by Birmingham, Alabama-based Southern Research Institute, an independent, not-for-profit center for scientific research. In the evaluations, Southern Research exposed a standard cell line to a range of concentrations of Multiferon®, recombinant alpha interferon, recombinant beta interferon and ribavirin, all of which were then separately exposed to the H5N1 avian influenza virus. It was found that not only was Multiferon® highly active against the virus, being able to protect the cells against viral infection, but furthermore, it was found to be far more active than the other three products tested. Multiferon® showed potent anti-viral efficacy at low concentrations and was non-toxic to the cells.
     While these studies represent only a preliminary evaluation, and success in the in vivo or clinical stages cannot be guaranteed, the data suggests that Multiferon® may have immuno-protective and anti-viral activity against this particular strain of virus, and furthermore, may be more effective than other anti-viral products, including recombinant alpha interferon.
     The data obtained from these studies has been included to supplement our provisional patent application filed with the United Kingdom’s Patent Office in February 2005, which was subsequently filed as an International Patent Application in February 2006 and which replaced the previously filed provisional patent application filed in February 2004 covering the use of natural, multi-subtype alpha interferon for human treatment and prevention of avian influenza virus.

Critical Accounting Policies
     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, depreciation, amortization, asset valuation allowances, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
    Inventories. Inventories consist of raw materials and supplies, work in process and finished product. Finished product consists of purified natural human alpha interferon that is available for sale. Costs of raw materials and supplies are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Costs of work in process and finished product, consisting of raw materials, labor and overhead are recorded at a standard cost (which approximates actual cost). Excess/idle capacity costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and are recorded in cost of sales. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (estimated net realizable value). If the cost of our inventories exceeds their expected market value, provisions are recorded currently for the difference between the cost and the market value. These provisions are determined based on estimates. The valuation of our inventories also requires us to estimate excess inventories and inventories that are not saleable. The determination of excess or non-saleable inventories requires us to estimate the future demand for our product and consider the shelf life of the inventory. If actual demand is less than our estimated demand, we could be required to record inventory write-downs, which would have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
 
    Long-lived assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we review our long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of our asset based on our estimate of its undiscounted future cash flows. If these estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its carrying value. As of the date of these financial statements, we are not aware of any items or events that would cause us to adjust the recorded value of our long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment.
 
    Goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or sooner if indicators of impairment arise. Management has selected April 1st as the date of our annual impairment review. All of our goodwill arose from the acquisition of ViraNative in September 2001 and the subsequent achievement of certain milestones defined in the acquisition agreement. We periodically evaluate that acquired business for potential impairment indicators. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on legal factors, market conditions, and the operational performance of the acquired business. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, we completed our annual impairment review of our goodwill. The impairment review indicated that our goodwill was impaired and, as a result, an impairment charge of approximately $6.9 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Changes in the estimates used to conduct our impairment review, including revenue

24


Table of Contents

      projections or market values, could cause our analysis to indicate that our goodwill is further impaired in subsequent periods and result in a write-off of a portion or all of our goodwill.
    Stock-based compensation. Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, stock-based compensation cost recognized subsequent to July 1, 2005 should include: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all stock-based compensation granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 123(R). The amount of stock-based compensation costs included in our statement of operations for the current period for stock options granted to employees and directors prior to July 1, 2005, which were not fully vested as of July 1, 2005, is immaterial to our results of operation. No stock-based compensation was granted during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005. Results for prior periods have not been restated. The issuance of stock-based compensation in the future will require the use of estimates when determining the fair value of the stock-based compensation for purposes of expense recognition in our statement of operation. We intend to use the Black-Scholes valuation model and estimates consistent with those we have historically used for pro forma disclosures of stock-based compensation. We account for our stock-based compensation arrangements with non-employees in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and related guidance, including Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. Accordingly, we recognize as expense the estimated fair value of such instruments as calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The estimated fair value is re-determined each quarter using the methodologies allowable by SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18 and the expense is amortized over the vesting period of each option or the recipient’s contractual arrangement, if shorter.
 
    Convertible debt issued with stock purchase warrants: Viragen accounts for the issuance of and modifications to its convertible debt issued with stock purchase warrants in accordance with APB No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, EITF No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, EITF No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments and SFAS No. 15, Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings. The determination of the relative fair value of the components of our convertible debentures issued with common stock purchase warrants requires the use of estimates. Changes in those estimates would result in different relative values being attributed to the components, which could result in more or less discount on the principal amount of the debt and more or less related interest expense.
 
    Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue from sales of our natural human alpha interferon product when title and risk of loss has been transferred, which is generally upon shipment. Moreover, recognition requires persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
    Litigation and other contingencies. We monitor the status of our litigation and other contingencies for purposes of loss accrual. If we believed a loss to be probable and reasonably estimable, as required by SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, we would establish an appropriate accrual. We would base our accruals on information available at the time of such determination. Information may become available to us after that time, for which additional accruals may be required.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $1.9 million in cash and cash equivalents down from approximately $6.9 million as of June 30, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, we had working capital of approximately $2.2 million, compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $7.3 million as of June 30, 2005. The change in working capital is primarily attributed to the reclassification of our convertible notes from current to long-term as a result of the amendments dated September 15, 2005, which extended the due date of the notes from March 31, 2006 to August 31, 2008. Cash used to fund operations during the six months ended December 31, 2005 totaled approximately $5.4 million. In addition, we made capital investments of approximately $338,000, primarily for equipment and renovations at our Swedish subsidiary as well as research and development equipment at our Scottish subsidiary. The equipment purchases and renovations at our Swedish subsidiary, which are ongoing, were necessary to replace or modernize certain portions of our production and administrative facilities. We expect to spend an additional $100,000 on equipment and renovations at these facilities to bring the project to completion. During the six months ended December 31, 2005, we received net proceeds of approximately $1.2 million from the sale of our convertible debentures with a face value of $2.0 million. This financing transaction is discussed in further detail below. Principal and interest payments on our convertible notes and debentures totaled approximately $327,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. Principal and interest payments on our short and long-term financing obligations, excluding convertible notes and debentures, totaled approximately $209,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005.
     We have experienced losses and a negative cash flow from operations since inception. During the six months ended December 31, 2005 we incurred a loss of approximately $9.7 million. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, we incurred significant losses of approximately $26.2 million, $18.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $156.4 million as of December 31, 2005. We anticipate additional future losses as we commercialize our natural human alpha interferon product and conduct additional research activities and clinical trials to obtain additional regulatory approvals. We believe we have sufficient cash to support operations, including those of our subsidiaries, through February 2006. We will require substantial additional funding to support our operations subsequent to February 2006. As we do not anticipate achieving sufficient cash flows from operations, we are seeking additional capital through equity or debt financings. No assurance can be given that additional capital will be available when required or upon terms acceptable to us. Our inability to generate substantial revenue or obtain additional capital through equity or debt financings would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to continue operations. Accordingly, if we are unable to obtain additional financing by the end of February 2006, we could be forced to significantly curtail or suspend our operations, including laying-off employees, recording asset impairment write-downs and other measures.
     We are engaged in active dialogue with a number of potential sources of financing, and are hopeful that we will succeed in securing the additional funds necessary to sustain operations. While we have not received any binding commitment from any source of financing, we are completing final preparations to privately offer through a registered broker-dealer, on a “best efforts” basis, shares of our convertible preferred stock designed to provide us with between $4 and $6 million of near term funding. Thereafter, we are hopeful that our recent engagement of Janney Montgomery Scott LLC as our financial adviser to evaluate strategic alternatives, including obtaining additional financing and exploring potential merger and acquisition opportunities, will lead us to the funding necessary to pursue our long-term goals and/or to consummate a business combination that would enhance shareholder values. The securities to be offered have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption form registration requirements. It is our intention to conduct the offering under an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

Table of Contents

     Due to our financial condition, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our June 30, 2005 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
     Our future cash requirements are dependent upon many factors, including:
    revenue generated from the sale of our natural human alpha interferon product;
 
    market conditions and our ability to service our convertible debt;
 
    progress with future clinical trials;
 
    the costs associated with obtaining regulatory approvals;
 
    the costs involved in patent applications;
 
    competing technologies and market developments; and
 
    our ability to establish collaborative arrangements and effective commercialization activities.
     For the remainder of fiscal 2006, we anticipate the need of approximately $7.0 million for operating activities, $150,000 for investing activities and $1.0 million to service our current financing obligations.
Line of Credit
     Our Swedish subsidiary maintains an overdraft facility, denominated in Swedish Krona, with a bank in Sweden. In July 2004, the terms of this overdraft facility were renegotiated to provide for a reduced interest rate and a reduction in the maximum borrowing capacity. The maximum borrowing capacity on this overdraft facility was approximately $710,000 as of December 31, 2005 compared to $767,000 at June 30, 2005. Borrowings outstanding under this overdraft facility are at a floating rate of interest, which was approximately 5.25% at December 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005. The facility was renewed in December 2005 and will expire at the end of February 2006. There was no outstanding balance under this overdraft facility as of December 31, 2005 or June 30, 2005. This overdraft facility is secured by certain assets of ViraNative including inventories and accounts receivable.
Convertible Notes and Debentures
     On June 18, 2004, we completed the sale of convertible notes and common stock purchase warrants in the aggregate amount of $20 million. We received approximately $18.96 million, net of finder’s fees and legal expenses. On September 15, 2005, we entered into agreements with each of the note holders to extend the maturity date of the notes from March 31, 2006 to August 31, 2008 and reduce the conversion price. These convertible notes are convertible immediately by the investors, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.05. This conversion price, with certain exceptions, is subject to reductions if we enter into additional financing transactions for the sale of our stock below the public trading price and below the conversion price.
     Interest remains payable quarterly at an annual rate of 7%. Quarterly interest payments are payable in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock based upon the average market price of our common stock during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to and including the interest payment date, subject to certain conditions.

     These notes may be prepaid at 110% of their face amount, plus the issuance to note holders of additional warrants to purchase the number of shares of our common stock into which the notes would otherwise have been convertible, at an exercise price equal to the prevailing conversion price of the notes. If issued on prepayment, the warrants may be exercised for the period that would have been the remaining life of the notes had they not been prepaid. We also have the right to require note holders to convert their notes, subject to certain limitations; if the volume weighted average price of our common stock exceeds $2.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days.
     As of December 31, 2005, $13.93 million of the principal amount of these convertible notes remained outstanding. Interest on these notes for the six months ended December 31, 2005 at 7% totaled approximately $629,000. The quarterly interest due January 1, 2006 of approximately $284,000 was satisfied through the issuance of 576,857 shares of our common stock valued at $0.49 per share. The quarterly interest due October 1, 2005 of approximately $345,000 was satisfied through the payment of approximately $258,000 in cash and the issuance of 142,322 shares of our common stock valued at $0.61 per share.
     On September 15, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement under which we sold our convertible, amortizing debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million to four returning institutional investors. Under the terms of the agreement, Viragen received approximately $1.2 million, net of original issue discounts of $570,000, a $200,000 finder’s fee and legal expenses. This agreement also provided for the issuance to the purchasers of an aggregate of 952,381 three-year common stock purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $1.25 per share.
     The debentures are convertible at a conversion price of $1.05 per share, subject to adjustment, including in the event that Viragen subsequently issues securities at less than the conversion price then in effect. The debentures provide for amortization in 32 equal monthly installments of principal, commencing on January 1, 2006. Monthly amortization payments may be made, at Viragen’s option, in cash, accompanied by a 10% premium, or in shares of its common stock at a 5% discount to market price (computed by reference to the volume weighted average price of Viragen’s common stock during the five trading day period immediately preceding the amortization due date). Viragen has the right to require the debenture holders to convert their debentures in the event that the volume weighted average price of Viragen common stock exceeds $2.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures are covered by an effective registration statement, and certain other conditions are met.
     In lieu of interest, the debentures provided for an original issue discount equal to $570,000, the equivalent of 9.5% interest over the three year life of the debentures.
     During December 2005, we made cash payments aggregating $68,750 to the September 15, 2005 convertible debenture holders, which represented the first of 32 monthly installments on these debentures, including the additional 10% premium.
     Viragen’s outstanding convertible debt contains a provision that in the event its common stock is no longer traded on the Amex, New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, the debt holders have the right to request repayment of their investment with related accrued interest. Given Viragen’s current financial position, if the convertible debt holders were to request payment, we would be unable to repay these amounts and would be in default of the debt agreements.

     Viragen received a deficiency letter from the American Stock Exchange (Amex) dated September 20, 2005, advising that, based upon its review of Viragen’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, Viragen is not in compliance with Amex’s continued listing standards. Specifically, Viragen is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Amex Company Guide, because the Company’s stockholders’ equity is less than $4,000,000 and it sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years, and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Amex Company Guide, because the Company’s stockholders’ equity is less than $6,000,000 and it sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. Viragen submitted a plan to Amex which outlines Viragen’s plans to regain compliance with Amex’s continued listing standards. On October 25, 2005, Amex notified Viragen that it accepted Viragen’s plan of compliance and granted Viragen an extension of time until March 20, 2007 to regain compliance with Amex’s continued listing standards. Viragen will be subject to periodic review by Amex during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in Viragen’s shares being delisted from Amex. We have provided quarterly updates to Amex regarding our progress with the plan.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     Under SEC regulations, we are required to disclose any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. An off-balance sheet arrangement means a transaction, agreement or contractual arrangement to which any entity that is not consolidated with us is a party, under which we have:
    Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts;
 
    Any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets;
 
    Any obligation under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, except that it is both indexed to our stock and classified in stockholders’ equity in our statement of financial position; and
 
    Any obligation arising out of a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
     As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs — an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. Historically, we have expensed such costs as incurred. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 151 as of the beginning of our 2006 fiscal year, which commenced July 1, 2005, did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
     In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement for APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It requires prior period financial statements to be restated for voluntary changes in accounting principles. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We have no plans to adopt a voluntary change in accounting principle and believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations
Product sales
     For the three months ended December 31, 2005, product sales totaled approximately $117,000 compared to approximately $53,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, product sales totaled approximately $202,000 compared to approximately $83,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. These increases in product sales are attributed to an increase in Multiferon® sales volume in Mexico, Sweden, Germany and Indonesia.
     We have entered into several agreements for the distribution of our natural human alpha interferon, Multiferon®, in various countries. To date, we have not recognized revenue from many of these agreements. The majority of these agreements require that the distributor obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, which, in many cases, have not yet been obtained. Regulatory approval is a mandatory step in the marketing of a drug, but it is by no means the final challenge in marketing a biopharmaceutical product. In addition, Multiferon® is a critical care product. Therefore, in certain instances, it must be part of a territory’s approved formulary to enable physicians to prescribe the product, which may include becoming approved within a nationalized network of hospitals. Also, the physicians must be educated as to the benefits of the product.
     There are other challenges associated with international marketing activities including: language and cultural barriers, in some cases poorly organized regulatory infrastructure and/or compliance procedures in certain countries where Multiferon® may be marketed, performance of our distribution partners, government’s willingness to promote cheaper generic products and the general population’s inability to afford private care drug products. It will take significant time to overcome these challenges with no assurance that a particular market will ever be effectively penetrated.
Cost of Sales
     Cost of sales, which includes excess/idle production costs, totaled approximately $570,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to approximately $754,000 for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales totaled approximately $1,027,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to approximately $1,231,000 for the same period in the prior year. These decreases in cost of sales are primarily attributed to decreased excess/idle capacity as a result of cost cutting measures. Excess/idle capacity represents fixed production costs incurred at our Swedish manufacturing facilities, which were not absorbed as a result of the production of inventory at less than normal operating levels. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, excess/idle capacity costs were primarily due to minimal production activities as a result of low sales demand. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 excess/idle capacity costs were primarily the result of the suspension of routine manufacturing as of March 31, 2003. This planned break in routine manufacturing was imposed by the Swedish regulatory authorities and was necessary to allow for certain steps of our production process to be segregated and transferred to our owned facility located in Umeå, Sweden. We will continue to incur excess/idle production costs until we generate higher sales demand and resume production at normal operating levels that absorb our fixed production costs.

Inventory Write-down
     During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we determined that a portion of our work in process inventory would not be converted to finished product prior to expiration. Therefore, we recorded a write-down for this inventory of approximately $104,000.
     During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, a freezer at our facility in Sweden malfunctioned causing the temperature of certain work in process inventory to rise above the approved levels for frozen product. Accordingly, we recorded a net write-down of approximately $91,000 of work in process inventory. This loss is net of an insurance recovery of approximately $486,000, which we collected in October 2005.
     During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, we recorded a write-down of approximately $540,000 of our finished product inventory. Upon evaluating the shelf-life of certain lots of our Multiferon® inventory, near-term sales forecasts and consideration of alternative uses, a write-down of the value of this inventory was deemed necessary.
Research and Development Costs
     Research and development costs include scientific salaries and support fees, laboratory supplies, consulting fees, contracted research and development, equipment rentals, repairs and maintenance, utilities and research related travel. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, research and development costs totaled approximately $1.07 million compared to approximately $0.91 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, research and development costs totaled approximately $2.08 million compared to approximately $2.00 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004. Research and development expenses during the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004 reflect the reversal of a long-standing trade liability of approximately $0.18 million. Excluding the impact of this reversal, period over period research and development expenses were higher for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 due to an increase in consulting fees for regulatory matters, clinical trial costs and legal fees related to intellectual property.
     We will continue incurring research and development costs, including projects associated with Multiferon® as well as other projects to more fully develop potential commercial applications of our natural human alpha interferon product, as well as broaden our potential product lines in the areas of avian transgenics and oncology. We anticipate expenditures to increase over the next twelve months, particularly in the area of regulatory-related consulting fees and clinical trial costs. Our ability to successfully conclude additional clinical trials, a prerequisite for expanded commercialization of any product, is dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional funding necessary to conduct and complete these trials.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses include administrative personnel salaries and related expenses, office and equipment leases, utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance, legal, accounting, consulting, depreciation and amortization expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $1.64 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to approximately $1.90 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease of approximately $0.26 million over prior year is primarily attributed to a decrease in personnel related expenses and consulting and legal fees.

32


Table of Contents

     For the six months ended December 31, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $3.38 million compared to approximately $3.72 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease of approximately $0.34 million over prior year is primarily attributed to a decrease in personnel related expenses and consulting and legal fees.
     Our successful commercialization of Multiferon® will require additional marketing and promotional activities, which is dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional funding, or our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations.
     We anticipate that selling related expenses will increase in the second half of fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. This increase is expected due to the planned expansion of our Multiferon® sales efforts. These increases will be incurred in sales personnel related expenses, consulting fees, travel related expenses, promotional materials and other marketing related costs.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
     Amortization of intangible assets represents the amortization of our acquired developed technology. This developed technology is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 14 years. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, amortization of intangible assets totaled approximately $38,000 and $77,000, respectively, compared to approximately $44,000 and $84,000 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively. The period over period decreases are due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Swedish Krona.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2005 totaling approximately $1.43 million primarily represents interest expense on our June 2004 convertible notes and September 15, 2005 convertible debentures. This interest expense was comprised of principal interest totaling approximately $0.29 million and non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discounts on these notes and debentures and related closing costs totaling approximately $1.09 million. Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2005 totaling approximately $3.28 million primarily represents interest expense on our June 2004 convertible notes and our September 15, 2005 convertible debentures. This interest expense was comprised of principal interest totaling $0.64 million and non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discounts on these notes and debentures and related closing costs totaling approximately $2.63 million.
     Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2004 totaling approximately $1.35 million primarily represents interest expense on our June 2004 convertible notes consisting of principal interest payments totaling $0.35 million and non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discounts on these notes and related closing costs totaling approximately $0.98 million. Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2004 totaling approximately $2.63 million primarily represents interest expense on our June 2004 convertible notes consisting of principal interest payments totaling $0.70 million and non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discounts on these notes and related closing costs totaling approximately $1.87 million.
     Also included in interest expense is interest incurred on the debt facilities maintained by our Swedish subsidiary. These debt facilities have interest rates of approximately 5.25%. Interest expense on these debt facilities for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 totaled approximately $9,000 and $19,000, respectively, compared to approximately $14,000 and $64,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.

Other Income, net
     The primary components of other income, net, are interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, grant income from government agencies in Scotland, sublease income on certain office space in our facility in Scotland, transaction gains or losses on foreign exchange, remeasurement gains or losses on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, gains or losses on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, and income generated from research and development support services provided by our Swedish subsidiary.
     Other income, net, for the three months ended December 31, 2005, totaled approximately $0.10 million compared to approximately $1.48 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease of approximately $1.38 million is primarily attributed to remeasurement gains on foreign exchange totaling approximately $1.21 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004. Other income, net, for the six months ended December 31, 2005, totaled approximately $0.15 million compared to approximately $1.44 million for the six months ended December 31. 2004. This decrease of approximately $1.29 million is primarily attributed to remeasurement gains on foreign exchange totaling approximately $1.00 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004. Our foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the remeasurement of British Pound denominated accounts and short-term investments.
Income Tax Benefit
     We are subject to tax in the United States, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. These jurisdictions have different marginal tax rates. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, our income tax benefits totaled approximately $11,000 and $22,000, respectively, which was the same as for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004. Income tax benefits for these periods arose from of the amortization expense on certain intangible assets. Due to the treatment of the identifiable intangible assets under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, our balance sheet reflects a deferred income tax liability of approximately $0.44 million as of December 31, 2005, all of which is related to our developed technology intangible asset acquired on September 28, 2001.
     Based on our accumulated losses, a full valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. As of June 30, 2005, we had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $85.1 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The expiration dates on these net operating loss carry-forwards range from 2006 through 2025. At June 30, 2005, Viragen (Scotland) and ViraNative had net operating loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $25.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively.

Research and Development Projects
     Our research and development programs include the avian transgenics platform, two humanized antibodies and ongoing studies in support of Multiferon® and next-generation interferon alpha products.
Avian Transgenics
     Our avian transgenic manufacturing program is designed to enable us to produce protein-based drugs, including monoclonal antibodies, inside the whites of eggs laid by transgenic chickens. Our goal is to develop a technology which will enable us to offer a viable and cost-effective alternative for the large-scale production requirements of the biopharmaceutical industry and also for our own therapeutic protein products. Existing protein production technologies are often inefficient and costly. We believe that this technology will allow us to offer the biopharmaceutical industry an efficient method of production of their protein-based products. It is envisaged that this technology will have a higher capacity, lower manufacturing costs and may be able to offer improvements to the products themselves.
     We believe our avian transgenics project could offer a rapid and cost effective way to produce large volumes of therapeutic proteins. In addition to meeting the current and future alternative production demands of the biopharmaceutical industry and generating significant revenue for us, this project could also accelerate the progress of several life-saving drugs to the market at an affordable cost.
     For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, costs incurred in the field of avian transgenics totaled approximately $0.62 million and $1.01 million, respectively. For the fiscal years ended 2005, 2004 and 2003, we incurred costs related to the avian transgenics project totaling approximately $1.69 million, $1.87 million and $0.95 million, respectively. Since the date of inception of this project, we have incurred approximately $6.81 million in research and development costs.
Antibodies
     We have selected two monoclonal antibodies for our research and development projects based largely upon (1) novelty, (2) prior pre-clinical information, and (3) prior testing in humans. Both of our current antibody projects are unique in these respects and both offer the potential to be developed into a platform based technology.
VG102
     In April 2005, we executed a global exclusive license with Cancer Research Technology UK for the rights to develop and commercialize an anti-CD55 antibody. This specific antibody was developed through the research of Professor Lindy Durrant of the University of Nottingham, UK. The CD55 antigen is significantly over-expressed on nearly all solid tumors in humans. Early studies at Nottingham demonstrated that the antibody was able to bind only to tumor antigen and furthermore, it was shown to bind in a highly novel manner, different from all anti-CD55 antibodies known in the scientific literature. This novelty underpins the intellectual property surrounding VG102, in addition to other intellectual property we have created through our development activities. The CD55 antigen has been shown to block the body’s natural immune system from attacking and killing cancer cells. Theoretically, if an antibody can be developed that binds selectively to tumor CD55 antigen, this protective mechanism could be removed and the natural immune system, or concomitantly or sequentially administered anti-tumor agents, would then be able to destroy cancer cells.

Table of Contents

     Importantly, Professor Durrant has produced the mouse form of this antibody and has administered it successfully to humans in a scintigraphy procedure (imaging). These studies demonstrated the specificity of binding only to tumor antigen, and not normal cells, and demonstrated tolerability in humans, albeit small numbers and dosages, without safety incident. It is this data, and our own exploratory data in our laboratories, that has led us to license what we believe may become an important addition to the arsenal for fighting a number of types of cancer.
     At the current time we are developing production processes for a humanized version of this antibody to continue pre-clinical studies, and we hope to be ready to initiate toxicology studies on the humanized form in early 2007, followed by meetings with regulatory authorities to agree upon clinical development protocols. We have not yet selected a target indication for this antibody; however, we have identified ovarian cancer, breast cancer and head and neck cancer as among the possibilities. At this time, we are not able to predict any date for the start of clinical trials.
     For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, costs incurred related to the VG102 project totaled approximately $0.13 million and $0.26 million, respectively. For the fiscal years ended 2005, 2004 and 2003, we incurred costs related to the VG102 project totaling approximately $0.58 million, $0.21 million and $0.14 million, respectively. Since the date of inception of this project, we have incurred approximately $1.76 million in research and development costs.
VG101
     In 1999, we entered into a collaborative research and development agreement with Sloan-Kettering Institute (SKI) for the joint development of an antibody to the GD3 antigen, which is over-expressed on several types of cancer cells, most notably melanoma. This agreement was extended in February 2002 and now expires in February 2007. It is believed that antibodies to the GD3 antigen are able to elicit anti-tumor effects, thereby destroying cancer cells, which have the over-expressed antigen on their surface.
     SKI clinicians have previously studied the mouse form of this antibody in a fairly extensive manner in numerous human clinical trials. However, use of mouse-derived antibodies typically influences the outcome of testing in humans in that the human body reacts to mouse antibody as if it was a foreign invader, thereby reducing the overall efficacy, and tolerability, of the product. SKI was able to demonstrate that this antibody had beneficial effects in patients with Stage IV melanoma, the most deadly stage of this disease. SKI also found that the antibody had therapeutic utility when used alone, but greater therapeutic utility when used with other compounds. If the antibody can be produced in a humanized form, thereby eliminating at least some of the undesirable effects, whether used alone or in combination with other products, it could offer significant improvement in this disease setting. Importantly, to date, there are no other products available to successfully treat Stage IV melanoma.
     At the current time, we are developing production processes for various forms of the antibody, including the avian transgenics technology, in an effort to generate humanized forms. These antibodies will be shared with SKI clinicians for comparability testing, done in parallel with studies at our Viragen (Scotland) laboratories. We are not able to predict subsequent study dates for this antibody.

Table of Contents

     During the fiscal years 2006 and 2005, we incurred minimal costs associated with our VG101 project. Since the date of inception of this project, we have incurred approximately $1.5 million in research and development costs.
     Estimated completion dates, completion costs, and future material net cash inflows, if any, for the above oncological projects are not reasonably certain and are not determinable at this time. The timelines and associated costs for the completion of biopharmaceutical research and product development programs are difficult to accurately predict for various reasons, including the inherent exploratory nature of the work. The achievement of project milestones is dependent on issues which may impact development timelines and can be unpredictable and beyond Viragen’s control. These issues include; availability of capital funding, presence of competing technologies, unexpected experimental results which may cause the direction of research to change, accumulated knowledge about the intrinsic properties of the candidate product, the availability of contract cell banking and manufacturing slots for the preparation of current Good Manufacturing Practices grade material, results from preclinical and clinical studies, potential changes in prescribing practice and patient profiles and regulatory requirements.
     The completion of all of the above research and development projects is dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional funding or our ability to identify potential collaborative partners that would share in project costs. Our future capital requirements are dependent upon many factors, including: revenue generated from the sale of our natural human alpha interferon product, progress with future clinical trials; the costs associated with obtaining regulatory approvals; the costs involved in patent applications; competing technologies and market developments; and our ability to establish collaborative arrangements and effective commercialization activities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in interest rates and market prices. Our market risk exposure relates to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. We invest excess cash in highly liquid instruments with maturities of less than twelve months as of the date of purchase. These investments are not held for trading or other speculative purposes. Changes in interest rates affect the investment income we earn on our investments and, therefore, impact our cash flows and results of operations.
     We have not traded or otherwise transacted in derivatives nor do we expect to do so in the future. We have established policies and internal processes related to the management of market risks which we use in the normal course of our business operations.
Interest Rate Risk
     The fair value of long-term debt is subject to interest rate risk. While changes in market interest rates may affect the fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt, we believe a change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial condition, future results of operations or cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
     We conduct operations in several different countries. The balance sheet accounts of our operations in Scotland and Sweden, including intercompany accounts that are considered long-term in nature, are translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes and resulting adjustments are made to stockholders’ equity. The value of the respective local currency may strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar, which would impact the value of stockholders’ investment in our common stock. Fluctuations in the value of the British Pound and Swedish Krona against the U.S. dollar have occurred during our history, which have resulted in unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and shown in the equity section of our balance sheet. Intercompany trading accounts, which are short-term in nature, are remeasured at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates and any gains or losses are recorded in other income.
     While most of the transactions of our U.S. and foreign operations are denominated in the respective local currency, some transactions are denominated in other currencies. Transactions denominated in other currencies are accounted for in the respective local currency at the time of the transaction. Upon settlement of this type of transaction, any foreign currency gain or loss results in an adjustment to income.
     Our results of operations may be impacted by the fluctuating exchange rates of foreign currencies, especially the British Pound and Swedish Krona, in relation to the U.S. dollar. Most of the revenue and expense items of our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in the respective local currencies. The strengthening of these local currencies against the U.S. dollar will result in greater revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries, when translated into U.S. dollars. During the six months ended December 31, 2005, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the British Pound and the Swedish Krona by approximately 4.7% and 1.6%, respectively.
     We do not currently engage in hedging activities with respect to our foreign currency exposure. However, we continually monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations. We have not incurred significant realized losses on exchange transactions. If realized losses on foreign transactions were to become significant, we would evaluate appropriate strategies, including the possible use of foreign exchange contracts, to reduce such losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls Evaluation and Related CEO and CFO Certifications
     We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
     Attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are certifications of the CEO and the CFO, which are required in accord with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This Item 4, Controls and Procedures, includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Definition of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting, which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
     Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of control.
     The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Conclusions
     Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to Viragen and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
