2006 Annual Report

FUAD EL-HIBrI
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Stockholders:

2006 was a record year for total revenues and 
represented our fifth consecutive year of 
profitable operations. It was also a record year 
in terms of our accomplishments in the areas 
of corporate development as well as product 
development and manufacturing of immunobi-
otics in our two business segments — biodefense 
and commercial. These accomplishments 
were driven by our five core strategies for 
growth, which are:

  Pursue two attractive business segments.

  Focus on development versus research.

  Leverage manufacturing core competency.

  Mitigate costs with non-dilutive relationships.

  Grow through acquisition.

Corporate Developments 
We made significant progress on a number of 
corporate initiatives, including:

•  We completed an initial public offering raising 

approximately $58 million, and listed our 
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

•  We acquired ViVacs GmbH, a German-based 
biotechnology company with a promising 
technology platform.

new large-scale manufacturing facility in 
Lansing, Michigan. This facility is designed to 
manufacture up to 40 million doses of BioThrax 
per year on a single line, and it is potentially 
expandable to up to 80 million doses with the 
introduction of a second line. This facility has 

Positioned For Growth 
Our 2006 accomplishments position us well for 
future growth. Vaccines and therapeutics remain 
a critically important component of global 
public health. With our talent, our focus on 
product development and manufacturing, our 
balanced approach between vaccines and 
therapeutics across two attractive markets, 
and our measurable financial performance, we 
are well positioned to continue our progress 
and growth. We believe there are significant 
opportunities in both markets, and we look 
forward to capturing them.

In closing, I would like to thank all of our 
employees around the world for their tireless 
effort and sustained commitment, and to our 
Board of Directors for their continued counsel 
and guidance. I would also like to acknowledge 
the continued support of our key customers and 
the contributions of our collaborators and 
vendors. Finally, thank you to our stockholders 
for your confidence in and support of our company.

Sincerely yours,

2006 Annual report

Emergent BioSolutions Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the 

development, manufacture and commercialization of immunobiotics, consisting 

of vaccines and therapeutics that induce or assist the body’s immune system 

to prevent or treat disease.

Our accomplishments are measurable: we deliver results.

We are focused.
Our strategy is to 
focus on product 
development, from 
proof-of-concept to 
commercialization.

We are balanced. 
Our approach is to 
achieve balance in the 
markets that we serve 
and the products that 
we develop.

We are profitable.
Our model is to reinvest 
our profits to generate 
long-term growth.

We seek to avoid the time, 
risk and cost of early stage 
research by concentrating 
instead on development. We 
acquire product candidates 
that are at the proof-of-
concept stage and take 
them from the lab into the 
real world.

We employ a balanced 
approach to business. We 
operate in the biodefense 
and commercial business 
segments, both of which are 
attractive markets providing 
opportunity for growth. We 
maintain a product portfolio 
comprised of both vaccines 
and therapeutics. We  
use multiple established 
technologies to develop 
and manufacture our 
product candidates.

We have achieved five 
consecutive years of 
profitability as a result of 
both growth in revenues 
and disciplined financial 
operations. Our fundamental 
approach to managing our 
business includes operating 
within our means and 
balancing growth with 
financial responsibility.

We deliver results.
Our approach has enabled us 
to reliably manufacture and 
deliver our biodefense product, 
significantly enhance our  
portfolio of product candidates 
and steadily grow our financial 
performance.

We take pride in what we have 
accomplished over the past 
nine years. We delivered  
19 million doses of BioThrax 
and helped protect over  
1.5 million military personnel. 
We were first to supply a 
vaccine into the strategic 
national stockpile under 
Project BioShield. We have 
acquired three product 
development companies  
and established and further 
developed a portfolio of 
promising product candidates 
that address global public 
health needs.

The future is ours to create.  
Why not create one free of disease?

Driving corporate performance through five
key strategies for growth.

Our goal is to improve the health and protect the lives of people around the globe by becoming 
a worldwide leader in developing, manufacturing and commercializing immunobiotics. Core to 
achieving this goal are our five key strategies for growth.

Mitigate costs with  
non-dilutive relationships. 
We continuously pursue grants, clinical 
trial support and other non-dilutive 
arrangements with governmental and 
non-governmental agencies to advance  
the development of both our biodefense 
and commercial product candidates.

Grow through acquisition. 
We seek to opportunistically obtain 
products and product candidates through 
acquisitions and licensing arrangements 
with third parties. We believe that we 
have secured — and will be able to 
continue to secure — rights to a diverse 
product pipeline focused on immunobiot-
ics for use against biological agents that 
are potential weapons of bioterrorism or 
biowarfare or that address significant 
unmet or undeserved public health 
needs. We also believe that this approach 
may enable us to accelerate product 
development timelines.

Operate in two attractive  
business segments. 
We operate in two business segments — 
biodefense and commercial — both of 
which provide attractive opportunities for 
growth. We seek to maintain a balanced 
product portfolio consisting of vaccines 
and therapeutics to diversify product 
development and commercialization risk. 
We use multiple established technologies 
to develop and manufacture our product 
candidates, which further reduces our risk.  

Focus on development,  
not research. 
We focus our efforts on our core capabilities 
of immunobiotic product development 
and manufacturing. This approach enables 
us to avoid the expense and time entailed 
in early stage research activities while 
reducing product development and 
commercialization risk. 

Leverage core competency  
in manufacturing. 
We are constructing a new 50,000  
square-foot manufacturing facility on our 
Lansing, Michigan campus to augment 
our existing manufacturing capabilities. 
We are constructing our new facility as a 
large-scale commercial manufacturing 
plant that we can use to produce multiple 
vaccine products.

BioThrax®(Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed)

Since 1998, we have supplied a total of 19 million 
doses of BioThrax® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed)  
to the U.S. Department of Defense for active 
immunization of military personnel and to the  
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for 
placement into the nation’s strategic national stockpile.

The biodefense market for immunobiotics 
has grown dramatically as a result of  
the increased awareness of the threat of 
global terror activity in the wake of the 
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks  
and the October 2001 anthrax letter 
attacks. At Emergent BioSolutions, we 
take seriously the role we play to help 
combat bioterrorism.

Our biodefense product portfolio focuses 
on two category A biological agents, which 
are the class of biological agents that the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
has identified as the greatest possible 
threat to public health. 

We market and sell BioThrax to the DoD 
and HHS with a small, targeted marketing 
and sales group, and since 1998, we have 
delivered 19 million doses of BioThrax 
under our contracts with the DoD and HHS.

In our effort to expand the domestic 
customer base for BioThrax, we are 
approaching first responders, which include 
fire, police and emergency medical 
personnel, at the state and local levels. 

Internationally, we have opened offices in 
Munich and Singapore, hired personnel 
to develop international market opportu-
nities and signed agreements with 
marketing representatives to develop 
regional markets.

We are also evaluating several potential 

product candidates in connection with 

the development of a next generation 

anthrax vaccine featuring attributes such 

as use with antibiotics as a post-exposure 

treatment for anthrax infection, an extended 

shelf life, new routes of administration, a 

reduced number of required doses and 

stability at room temperature.

In addition, our biodefense product 

portfolio includes our anthrax immune 

globulin (AIG), which we are developing 

as a therapeutic treatment for patients 

with symptoms of anthrax disease. We 

received a development grant from NIAID 

of up to $3.7 million to support pivotal 

animal studies and assay development 

related to our AIG product candidate. We 

also entered into an exclusive agreement 

with Talecris to use its FDA-licensed 

manufacturing process to produce our AIG 

product candidate, and they have already 

manufactured our first consistency lot. 

More recently, we filed an Investigational 

New Drug Application (IND) with the 

United States Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA) to conduct a Phase I clinical trial  

of our AIG product candidate.

Helping the helpers.

Our biodefense product portfolio focuses on two 
category A biological agents, the class identified by 
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as 
having the greatest potential for adversely impacting 
public health.

      PHASE 1 

                 PHASE 2                    PHASE 3 

Vaccines have long been recognized  
as a safe and cost-effective method for 
preventing infection caused by various 
bacteria and viruses. Because of an 
increased emphasis on preventative 
medicine in industrialized countries, 
vaccines are now well recognized as an 
important part of public health manage-
ment strategies. According to Frost & 
Sullivan, a market research organization, 
from 2002 to 2005 annual worldwide 
vaccine sales increased from $6.7 billion 
to $9.9 billion, a compound annual growth 
rate of approximately 14%. Frost & Sullivan 
estimates that the worldwide sales of 
vaccines will grow at a compound annual 
rate of approximately 10.5% from 2005 
through 2012. 

In our commercial business, we are 
developing a range of immunobiotic 
product candidates that are designed 
to address significant unmet or 
underserved public health needs 
caused by infectious diseases. 

With a typhoid vaccine, hepatitis B 
therapeutic vaccine and a group B 
streptococcus vaccine in clinical 
development, and a chlamydia vaccine 
and a meningitis B vaccine in preclinical 
development, we are seeking to establish 
Emergent BioSolutions as an important 
global vaccine developer. 

We continue to seek ways to mitigate the 
financial hurdles inherent in the develop-
ment of commercial vaccines. For example, 
The Wellcome Trust provided funding for 
the Phase I clinical trial of our typhoid 
vaccine candidate in Vietnam and has 
agreed to provide funding for the Phase II 
clinical trial of this vaccine candidate  
in Vietnam. 

Additionally, in 2006 we entered into a 
clinical trial agreement with NIAID under 
which NIAID has agreed to fund, manage 
and conduct an additional clinical trial  
of our group B streptococcus vaccine 
product candidate.

Working to help  
conquer typhoid.

Each year some 22 million cases of typhoid 
occur worldwide, killing approximately 
200,000 people. We are developing a single 
dose, drinkable typhoid vaccine that, if 
approved, would provide an enhanced course  
of treatment compared to the currently 
approved typhoid vaccines.

Leveraging our expertise in manufacturing.

Our core competence in manufacturing is a cornerstone of our competitive advantage  
and a source of tangible corporate differentiation.

Independently manufacturing our 
product and expanding our ability to 
manufacture product candidates gives  
us a number of important advantages.  
It saves money, gives us greater control 
over the manufacturing and regulatory 
approval process, and can accelerate 
product development.

We manufacture BioThrax at our 12.5-acre 
campus located in Lansing, Michigan 
using cGMP manufacturing procedures. 
In order to enhance our ability to address 
our expanding product development 
requirements, we recently commissioned 
a pilot plant facility on our Lansing campus. 
In addition, we are constructing a new 
50,000 square-foot manufacturing facility 
on our Lansing campus to expand our 
manufacturing capacity and to meet the 
needs of both current and future customers. 
We completed construction of this facility 
in 2006 and expect to conduct installation, 
validation and qualification activities required 
for regulatory approval during 2007 and 
2008. This high tech, state-of-the-art 
facility is designed for flexibility in both 
upstream and down-stream manufacturing.

We are constructing this new facility as  
a large-scale manufacturing plant that 
will enable us to manufacture multiple 
vaccine products in addition to BioThrax. 

We anticipate that we will begin large-
scale manufacturing of BioThrax for 
commercial sale at the new facility in 2008. 
This facility is designed to manufacture 
up to 40 million doses of BioThrax per 
year on a single production line and can 
produce up to 80 million doses with the 
introduction of a second production line. 
By comparison, our current facility has  
a current maximum production capacity 
of approximately 9 million doses of BioThrax 
per year. 

In addition to the Lansing campus, we 
own two buildings of approximately 
145,000 square feet each, on a 15-acre 
site in Frederick, Maryland. We are 
establishing plans to build out this  
site to provide laboratory space, product 
development and pilot plant production 
capabilities, full-scale commercial 
manufacturing operations, warehouse 
and storage facilities, fill and finish 
operations and administrative office space. 

These manufacturing initiatives  
provide us with greater flexibility and 
independence in addressing our future 
requirements for process development, 
the manufacture of clinical supplies  
of our product candidates and,  
ultimately, commercial production  
of approved products.

Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

Expanding manufacturing capacity.

Our multi-building campus in Lansing, Michigan consists of facilities for  
bulk manufacturing (including fermentation, filtration and formulation) of  
BioThrax. The campus also provides raw material storage and in-process and  
final product warehousing. 

Our Lansing expansion includes a new 50,000 square-foot manufacturing facility. 
This high-tech, state-of-the-art facility is designed for flexibility and will provide 
manufacturing capability of multiple vaccine products in addition to BioThrax.

Our Frederick, Maryland site consists of two facilities that are available for future 
product development, pilot plant production, full-scale commercial manufacturing 
operations, warehouse and storage, fill and finish operations and administrative 
office space.

Even though we just became a public company in 2006, our roots go back to 1998 
when we were incorporated as BioPort Corporation and acquired the assets of the 
Michigan Biologic Products Institute. In this acquisition, we secured rights to BioThrax, 
vaccine manufacturing facilities, and vaccine development and production technology. 
We acquired our pipeline of commercial product candidates through our acquisition 
of Antex Biologics, Inc. in 2003, Microscience Limited in 2005, and ViVacs GmbH in 2006.

MANAGEMENT’S	DISCUSSION	AND	ANALYSIS	OF		
FINANCIAL	CONDITION	AND	rESULTS	OF	OPErATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our 
financial condition and results of operations together with our 
financial statements and the related notes and other financial 
information included elsewhere in this annual report. Some 
of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or 
set forth elsewhere in this annual report, including informa-
tion with respect to our plans and strategy for our business 
and  related  financing,  includes  forward-looking  statements 
that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties.  You  should  review  the 
“Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” sec-
tion of this annual report for a discussion of important factors 
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the 
results described in or implied by the forward-looking state-
ments contained in the following discussion and analysis.

OvErvIEw
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the devel-
opment, manufacture and commercialization of immuno-
biotics. We operate in two business segments: biodefense 
and  commercial.  We  commenced  operations  as  BioPort 
Corporation  in  September  1998  through  an  acquisition 
from  the  Michigan  Biologic  Products  Institute  of  rights 
to  our  marketed  product,  Biothrax,  vaccine  manufactur-
ing facilities at a multi-building campus on approximately 
12.5 acres in lansing, Michigan and vaccine development 
and  production  know-how.  Following  this  acquisition,  we 
completed  renovations  at  the  lansing  facilities  that  had 
been initiated by the State of Michigan. In December 2001, 
the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA)  approved  a 
supplement  to  our  manufacturing  facility  license  for  the 
manufacture of Biothrax at the renovated facilities.

In June 2004, we completed a corporate reorganization in 
which we: 

•   issued  18,666,479  shares  of  class  A  common  stock 
in  exchange  for  18,017,994  shares  of  BioPort  class  A 
common stock and 648,485 shares of BioPort class B 
common stock; 

•   repurchased and retired all other issued and outstand-
ing shares of BioPort class B common stock; and 

•   assumed  all  outstanding  stock  options  to  purchase 
BioPort  class  B  common  stock  and  granted  option 
holders  replacement  stock  options  to  purchase  an 
equal number of shares of our class B common stock.

As a result of the reorganization, BioPort became a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Emergent. We subsequently renamed 
BioPort as Emergent BioDefense Operations lansing Inc. 
We  acquired  our  portfolio  of  commercial  vaccine  candi-
dates  through  our  acquisition  of  Microscience  limited 
in a share exchange in June 2005 and our acquisition for 
cash  of  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  Antex  Biologics 
Inc. in May 2003 and ViVacs GmbH in July 2006. We sub-
sequently  renamed  Microscience  as  Emergent  Product 

Development  UK  limited,  Antex  as  Emergent  Product 
Development  Gaithersburg  Inc.,  and  ViVacs  as  Emergent 
Product Development Germany GmbH. We expect to con-
tinue  to  seek  to  obtain  marketed  products  and  develop-
ment  stage  product  candidates  through  acquisitions  and 
licensing arrangements with third parties.

Our  biodefense  business  has  generated  net  income  for 
each of the last three fiscal years. However, in our com-
mercial business, we have not received approval to market 
any of our product candidates and, to date, have received 
no product sales revenues. Our only sources of revenue in 
our commercial business are development grant funding 
and  an  upfront  license  fee  and  additional  payments  for 
development work under a collaboration agreement with 
Sanofi Pasteur. As a result, our commercial business has 
incurred a net loss for each of the last three fiscal years.

Biodefense
In our biodefense business, we develop and commercial-
ize  immunobiotics  for  use  against  biological  agents  that 
are  potential  weapons  of  bioterrorism  or  biowarfare.  Our 
marketed product, Biothrax, is the only vaccine approved 
by the FDA for the prevention of anthrax infection. the U.S. 
Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. Department of 
Health  and  Human  Services  (HHS)  have  been  the  princi-
pal customers for Biothrax. In addition, we have supplied 
small amounts of Biothrax directly to several foreign gov-
ernments.  Since  1998,  we  have  been  a  party  to  two  sup-
ply  agreements  for  Biothrax  with  the  DoD.  Pursuant  to 
these contracts, we have supplied over nine million doses 
of  Biothrax  through  December  2006  for  immunization  of 
military personnel. Our most recent contract with the DoD, 
which was amended in October 2006, provides for the sup-
ply  of  a  minimum  of  approximately  1.5  million  doses  of 
Biothrax  to  the  DoD  through  September  2007.  We  deliv-
ered  to  the  DoD  approximately  480,000  of  these  doses 
in  December  2006,  and  we  expect  to  deliver  the  balance 
by  September  2007.  the  DoD’s  right  to  order  additional 
doses of Biothrax under this contract expired in February 
2007. Since May 2005, we have supplied 10 million doses 
of Biothrax to HHS for inclusion in the Strategic National 
Stockpile  (SNS).  In  May  2005,  we  entered  into  an  agree-
ment to supply five million doses of Biothrax for the stra-
tegic  national  stockpile,  or  SNS,  for  a  fixed  price  of  $123 
million. We completed delivery of all five million doses by 
February 2006, seven months earlier than required. In May 
2006, we entered into a contract modification with HHS for 
the delivery of an additional five million doses of Biothrax 
for the SNS by May 2007 for a fixed price of $120 million. 
We  delivered  approximately  four  million  of  those  doses 
in 2006 and the balance in February 2007, more than two 
months earlier than required.

2006 Annual Report

19

We  have  derived  and  expect  for  the  foreseeable  future  to 
continue  to  derive  substantially  all  of  our  revenue  from 
sales of Biothrax. Our total revenues from Biothrax sales 
were  $81.0  million  in  2004,  $127.3  million  in  2005  and 
$148.0 million in 2006. We are focused on increasing sales 
of Biothrax to U.S. government customers, expanding the 
market for Biothrax to other customers and pursuing label 
expansions and improvements for Biothrax.

In  addition  to  Biothrax,  our  biodefense  product  portfolio 
includes three biodefense product candidates in preclinical 
development. We are independently developing an anthrax 
immune globulin candidate, in part with funding from the 
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID). 
We  are  collaborating  with  the  U.K.  Health  Protection 
Agency (HPA) in the development of a recombinant bivalent 
botulinum  vaccine  candidate  and  a  new  botulinum  toxoid 
vaccine  that  we  plan  to  use  as  the  basis  for  a  botulinum 
immune globulin candidate. We are actively pursuing addi-
tional  government  sponsored  development  grants  and 
working  with  various  government  agencies  to  encourage 
them to conduct studies relating to Biothrax and our other 
biodefense product candidates.

Commercial
In  our  commercial  business,  we  are  developing  a  range 
of  immunobiotic  product  candidates  that  are  designed  to 
address  significant  unmet  or  underserved  public  health 
needs  caused  by  infectious  diseases.  Our  commercial 
product portfolio includes a typhoid vaccine candidate and 
a hepatitis B therapeutic vaccine candidate, both of which 
are in Phase II clinical development, a group B streptococ-
cus vaccine candidate in Phase I clinical development and 
a chlamydia vaccine candidate and a meningitis B vaccine 
candidate, both of which are in preclinical development. In 
May  2006,  we  entered  into  a  license  and  co-development 
agreement  with  Sanofi  Pasteur  under  which  we  granted 
Sanofi Pasteur an exclusive, worldwide license under our 
proprietary  technology  to  develop  and  commercialize  a 
meningitis B vaccine candidate.

We  plan  to  encourage  government  entities  and  non-
government  and  philanthropic  organizations  to  provide 
development  funding  for,  or  to  conduct  clinical  studies 
of,  one  or  more  of  our  commercial  product  candidates. 
For example, the Wellcome trust provided funding for our 
Phase  I  clinical  trial  of  our  typhoid  vaccine  candidate  in 
Vietnam and is providing funding for our Phase II clinical 
trial of this vaccine candidate in Vietnam. In addition, the 
NIAID agreed to sponsor Phase I clinical development of 
our group B streptococcus vaccine candidate.

Manufacturing	Infrastructure
to augment our existing manufacturing capabilities, we are 
constructing a new 50,000 square foot manufacturing facil-
ity on our lansing, Michigan campus. We expect the con-
struction  of  the  facility  to  cost  approximately  $75  million, 
including  approximately  $55  million  for  the  building  and 
associated capital equipment, with the balance related to 
validation and qualification activities required for regulatory 
approval and initiation of manufacturing. We incurred costs 
of  approximately  $37  million  for  these  purposes  through 
2006. We substantially completed construction of this facil-
ity in 2006, and expect to conduct installation, validation and 
qualification activities required for regulatory approval dur-
ing 2007 and 2008. We are constructing this new facility as 
a large scale manufacturing plant that we can use to pro-
duce multiple vaccine products, subject to complying with 
appropriate change-over procedures. We anticipate that we 
will initiate large scale manufacturing of Biothrax for com-
mercial sale at the new facility in 2008. Our plans assume 
that the FDA will not require us to complete a human bridg-
ing trial demonstrating that Biothrax manufactured at our 
new  facility  is  bioequivalent  to  Biothrax  manufactured  at 
our  existing  facility.  We  currently  expect  to  rely  on  non- 
clinical studies for these purposes. However, the FDA has 
not approved our plan to rely on non-clinical studies with-
out conducting a human bridging trial and may not do so. 
If the FDA requires us to conduct a human bridging trial, 
the initiation of large scale manufacturing of Biothrax for 
commercial sale at our new facility will be delayed and we 
will incur additional unanticipated costs.

We also own two buildings in Frederick, Maryland that are 
available to support our future manufacturing requirements. 
We  incurred  costs  of  approximately  $1  million  related  to 
initial  engineering  design  and  preliminary  utility  build  out 
of these facilities during 2006. Because we are in the pre-
liminary planning stages of our Frederick build out, we can-
not  reasonably  estimate  the  timing  and  costs  that  will  be 
necessary to complete this project. If we proceed with this 
project, we expect the costs to be substantial and to likely 
require external sources of funds to finance the project. We 
may elect to lease all or a substantial portion of one of these 
facilities to third parties.

CrITICAL	ACCOUNTING	POLICIES	AND	ESTIMATES
Our  discussion  and  analysis  of  our  financial  condition  and 
results of operations are based on our financial statements, 
which  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States. the prep-
aration  of  these  financial  statements  requires  us  to  make 
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts 

20

Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

of  assets,  liabilities  and  expenses.  On  an  ongoing  basis, 
we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those 
related to accrued expenses, fair valuation of stock related 
to stock-based compensation and income taxes. We based 
our estimates on historical experience and on various other 
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the cir-
cumstances, the results of which form the basis for making 
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities 
and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  that 
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results 
may  differ  from  these  estimates  under  different  assump-
tions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect 
our more significant judgments and estimates used in the 
preparation of our financial statements.

revenue	recognition
We  recognize  revenues  from  product  sales  in  accordance 
with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, 
or SAB 104. SAB 104 requires recognition of revenues from 
product  sales  that  require  no  continuing  performance  on 
our part if four basic criteria have been met:

•   there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;
•   delivery  has  occurred  or  title  has  passed  to  our  cus-

tomer based on contract terms;

•   the fee is fixed and determinable and no further obliga-

tion exists; and

•   collectibility is reasonably assured.

We cannot sell Biothrax to our customers without written 
FDA approval for each lot that we manufacture. As part of 
the FDA review process, we submit a detailed lot protocol 
for each Biothrax lot that we produce for sale. We also are 
required to submit product samples to the FDA for testing. 
Although  we  generally  submit  lot  protocols  and  product 
samples  promptly  following  the  satisfactory  completion 
of  internal  testing,  we  are  permitted  to  submit  product 
samples in advance of the lot protocols. the length of the 
FDA  review  process  is  approximately  four  to  six  weeks. 
However,  individual  lots  may  be  released  sooner  or  later 
depending on factors such as reviewer questions, license 
supplement approval, reviewer availability and whether our 
internal testing of product samples is completed before or 
concurrently  with  FDA  testing.  During  the  period  covered 
by our financial statements included in this annual report, 
the FDA has not denied the sale of any Biothrax lots that 
we have submitted for approval.

We  have  generated  Biothrax  sales  revenues  under  U.S. 
government  contracts  with  the  DoD  and  HHS.  Under  our 
DoD  contract,  we  invoice  the  DoD  for  progress  payments 
upon reaching contractually specified stages in the manu-

facture of Biothrax. We record as deferred revenue the full 
amount of each progress payment invoice that we submit 
to  the  DoD.  title  to  the  product  passes  to  the  DoD  upon 
submission  of  the  first  invoice.  the  earnings  process  is 
complete  upon  FDA  release  of  the  product  for  sale  and 
distribution. Following FDA release of the product, we seg-
regate  the  product  for  later  shipment  and  recognize  as 
period revenue all deferred revenue related to the released 
product in accordance with the “bill and hold” sale require-
ments under SAB 104. At that time, we also invoice the DoD 
for the final progress payment and recognize the amount of 
that invoice as period revenue. Our contract with HHS does 
not  provide  for  progress  payments.  We  invoice  HHS  and 
recognize the related revenue upon delivery of the product 
to the government carrier, at which time title to the prod-
uct passes to HHS. We do not record allowances for sales 
returns, rebates or special promotional programs for sales 
of Biothrax or provisions for sales made in prior periods.

Under  the  collaboration  agreement  that  we  entered  into 
with Sanofi Pasteur in May 2006 for our meningitis B vac-
cine  candidate,  we  received  an  upfront  license  fee  and 
are entitled to additional payments for development work 
under  the  collaboration  and  upon  achieving  contractually 
defined  development  and  commercialization  milestones. 
We  evaluate  the  various  components  of  a  collaboration 
in  accordance  with  Emerging  Issues  task  Force,  or  EItF, 
Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with 
Multiple Deliverables, or EItF No. 00-21, which addresses 
whether,  for  revenue  recognition  purposes,  there  is  one 
or  several  elements  in  an  arrangement.  We  concluded 
that  under  EItF  No.  00-21,  the  upfront  license  fee,  the 
development  work  and  the  milestone  payments  under 
our  agreement  with  Sanofi  Pasteur  should  be  accounted 
for as a single unit of accounting. We recognize amounts 
received  under  this  agreement  over  the  estimated  devel-
opment  period  as  we  perform  services.  We  recorded  the 
amount of the upfront license fee as deferred revenue. We 
are  recognizing  this  revenue  over  the  estimated  develop-
ment  period  under  the  contract,  currently  estimated  at 
seven years, as adjusted from time to time for any delays 
or  acceleration  in  the  development  of  the  product  candi-
date. Under the collaboration agreement, we are entitled 
to  payments  up  to  specified  levels  for  development  work 
we perform for Sanofi Pasteur. We invoice Sanofi Pasteur 
in advance of each quarter for the estimated work to occur 
in the upcoming quarter. We record the invoice amount as 
deferred revenue. As services are completed, we recognize 
the amount of the related deferred revenue as period rev-
enue. Under the collaboration agreement, we also will be 
entitled to royalty payments on any future net sales of this 
product candidate.

2006 Annual Report

From  time  to  time,  we  are  awarded  reimbursement  con-
tracts  for  services  and  development  grant  contracts  with 
government  entities  and  non-government  and  philan-
thropic organizations. Under these contracts, we typically 
are  reimbursed  for  our  costs  in  connection  with  specific 
development  activities  and  may  also  be  entitled  to  addi-
tional fees. We record the reimbursement of our costs and 
any associated fees as contract and grant revenue and the 
associated  costs  as  research  and  development  expense. 
We issue invoices under these contracts after we incur the 
reimbursable costs. We recognize revenue upon invoicing 
the sponsoring organization.

Accounts	receivable
Accounts  receivable  are  stated  at  invoice  amounts  and 
consist primarily of amounts due from the DoD and HHS 
as  well  as  amounts  due  under  reimbursement  contracts 
with  other  government  entities  and  non-government  and 
philanthropic  organizations.  Because  the  prior  collection 
history for receivables from these entities indicate that col-
lection is likely, we do not currently record an allowance for 
doubtful accounts.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with 
cost  being  determined  using  a  standard  cost  method, 
which  approximates  average  cost.  Average  cost  consists 
primarily  of  material,  labor  and  manufacturing  overhead 
expenses and includes the services and products of third 
party suppliers. We analyze our inventory levels quarterly 
and write down in the applicable period inventory that has 
become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess 
of its expected net realizable value and inventory in excess 
of  expected  customer  demand.  We  also  write  off  in  the 
applicable  period  the  costs  related  to  expired  inventory. 
We capitalize the costs associated with the manufacture of 
Biothrax as inventory from the initiation of the manufac-
turing  process  through  the  completion  of  manufacturing, 
labeling and packaging.

Accrued	Expenses
As part of the process of preparing financial statements, we 
are  required  to  estimate  accrued  expenses.  this  process 
involves  identifying  services  that  have  been  performed  on 
our  behalf  and  estimating  the  level  of  service  performed 
and the associated cost incurred for such service where we 
have  not  yet  been  invoiced  or  otherwise  notified  of  actual 
cost.  We  make  these  estimates  as  of  each  balance  sheet 
date  in  our  financial  statements.  Examples  of  estimated 
accrued expenses include: 

•   fees payable to contract research organizations in con-

junction with clinical trials; 

•   fees payable to third party manufacturers in conjunc-
tion with the production of clinical trial materials; and 

•   professional service fees.

In  accruing  service  fees,  we  estimate  the  time  period  over 
which services were provided and the level of effort in each 
period.  If  the  actual  timing  of  the  provision  of  services  or 
the  level  of  effort  varies  from  the  estimate,  we  will  adjust 
the accrual accordingly. the majority of our service provid-
ers invoice us monthly in arrears for services performed. In 
the  event  that  we  do  not  identify  costs  that  have  begun  to 
be incurred or we underestimate or overestimate the level of 
services performed or the costs of such services, our actual 
expenses could differ from such estimates. the date on which 
some services commence, the level of services performed on 
or before a given date and the cost of such services are often 
subjective determinations. We make judgments based upon 
the facts and circumstances known to us.

Purchased	In-process	research	and	Development
We account for purchased in-process research and develop-
ment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards,  or  SFAS,  No.  2,  Accounting  for  Research  and 
Development Costs along with Financial Accounting Standards 
Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB 
Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by 
the Purchase Method.

Under  these  standards,  we  are  required  to  determine 
whether  the  technology  relating  to  a  particular  research 
and  development  project  we  acquire  has  an  alterna-
tive  future  use.  If  we  determine  that  the  technology  has 
no  alternative  future  use,  we  expense  the  value  of  the 
research  and  development  project  not  directly  attributed 
to  fixed  assets.  Otherwise,  we  capitalize  the  value  of  the 
research and development project not attributable to fixed 
assets as an intangible asset and conduct an impairment 
analysis at least annually. In connection with our acquisi-
tion of Microscience and our acquisition of substantially all 
of the assets of Antex and ViVacs, we allocated the value 
of  the  purchase  consideration  to  current  assets,  cur-
rent  liabilities,  fixed  assets  and  development  programs. 
Because  we  determined  that  the  development  programs 
at Microscience, Antex and ViVacs had no future alternative 
use, we charged the value attributable to the development 
programs as in-process research and development. For the 
Microscience acquisition, which was a share exchange, our 
board of directors determined the fair value of our shares 
issued  in  the  exchange  for  financial  statement  purposes. 
For  the  Antex  and  ViVacs  acquisitions,  which  were  cash 
transactions, no fair value determination was necessary.

Stock-based	Compensation
through  December  31,  2005,  in  accordance  with  SFAS 
No.  123,  Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,  we 
elected  to  account  for  our  employee  stock-based  com-
pensation using the intrinsic value method in accordance 
with Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25,  
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related inter-
pretations, or APB No. 25, rather than the alternative fair 
value  accounting  method  provided  for  under  SFAS  No. 
123. Accordingly, we did not record compensation expense 
on  employee  stock  options  granted  in  fixed  amounts  and 
with  fixed  exercise  prices  when  the  exercise  prices  of 
the  options  were  equal  to  the  fair  value  of  the  underly-
ing common stock on the date of grant. Pro forma infor-
mation  regarding  net  loss  and  loss  per  share  is  required 
by  SFAS  No.  123  and  has  been  determined  as  if  we  had 
accounted for employee stock option grants under the fair 
value  method  prescribed  by  that  statement.  We  provide 
this pro forma disclosure in our financial statements. We 
account for transactions in which services are received in 
exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of 
the services received from non-employees or of the equity 
instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured, 
in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and EItF Issue No. 96-18, 
Accounting  for  Equity  Instruments  that  Are  Issued  to  Other 
than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, 
Goods  or  Services,  or  EItF  No.  96-18.  In  accordance  with 
EItF  No.  96-18,  we  periodically  remeasure  stock-based 
compensation  for  options  granted  to  non-employees  as 
the underlying options vest. As of December 31, 2006, we 
had no outstanding options that had been granted to non-
employees other than our directors.

We  adopted  SFAS  No.  123  (revised  2004),  Share-Based  
Payment, or SFAS No. 123(R), on January 1, 2006 using the 
modified  prospective  method.  SFAS  No.  123(R)  requires 
all  share-based  payments  to  employees,  including  grants 
of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income 
statement based on their estimated fair values. Pro forma 
disclosure is no longer an alternative. We will continue to 
value our share-based payment transactions using a Black-
Scholes  valuation  model.  Under  the  modified  prospective 
method,  we  recognize  compensation  cost  in  our  financial 
statements for all awards granted after January 1, 2006 and 
for all awards outstanding as of January 1, 2006 for which 
the requisite service had not been rendered as of the date 
of  adoption.  Prior  period  operating  results  have  not  been 
restated.  We  measure  the  amount  of  compensation  cost 
based on the fair value of the underlying common stock on 
the date of grant. We recognize compensation cost over the 
period  that  an  employee  provides  service  in  exchange  for 
the award.

As  a  result  of  our  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  123(R)  effective 
January  1,  2006,  we  recorded  stock-based  compensa-
tion expense of $513,000 in 2006 related to stock options 
that were outstanding and had not completely vested as of 
January 1, 2006. During 2006, we granted 1,289,433 stock 
options. We recorded additional stock-based compensation 
expense of $210,000 related to these options in 2006. Both 
basic and diluted net income per share for 2006 are $0.02 
less than if we had continued to account for stock-based 
compensation  under  APB  No.  25.  the  effect  of  adopting 
SFAS No. 123(R) on net loss and net loss per share is not 
necessarily  representative  of  the  effects  in  future  years 
due to, among other things, the vesting period of the stock 
options and the fair value of additional stock option grants 
in future years. Based on options granted to employees as 
of December 31, 2006, total compensation expense not yet 
recognized  related  to  unvested  options  is  approximately 
$3.1 million, after tax. We expect to recognize that expense 
over  a  weighted  average  period  of  2.9  years.  Based  on 
options granted to employees as of December 31, 2006, we 
expect to recognize amortization of stock-based compen-
sation, after tax, of $1.3 million in 2007, $1.0 million in 2008 
and $815,000 in 2009.

Income	Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and lia-
bility method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and lia-
bilities are determined based on the differences between 
the  financial  reporting  and  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and 
liabilities and are measured using the tax rates and laws 
that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years 
in which those temporary differences are expected to be 
recovered or settled. A net deferred tax asset or liability 
is reported in the balance sheet. Our deferred tax assets 
include  the  unamortized  portion  of  in-process  research 
and  development  expenses,  the  anticipated  future  ben-
efit of the net operating losses that we have incurred and 
other  timing  differences  between  the  financial  report-
ing  basis  of  assets  and  liabilities.  We  have  historically 
incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes in 
some  states  and  in  some  foreign  jurisdictions,  primar-
ily  the  United  Kingdom.  the  amount  of  the  deferred  tax 
assets  on  our  balance  sheet  reflects  our  expectations 
regarding  our  ability  to  use  our  net  operating  losses  to 
offset future taxable income. the applicable tax rules in 
particular jurisdictions limit our ability to use net operat-
ing losses as a result of ownership changes. In particular, 
we believe that these rules will significantly limit our abil-
ity to use net operating losses generated by Microscience 
and Antex prior to our acquisition of Microscience in June 
2005 and our acquisition of substantially all of the assets 
of Antex in May 2003.

2006 Annual Report

23

We  review  our  deferred  tax  assets  on  a  quarterly  basis  to 
assess our ability to realize the benefit from these deferred 
tax  assets.  If  we  determine  that  it  is  more  likely  than  not 
that the amount of our expected future taxable income will 
not be sufficient to allow us to fully utilize our deferred tax 
assets, we increase our valuation allowance against deferred 
tax assets by recording a provision for income taxes on our 
income statement, which reduces net income, or increases 
net loss, for that period and reduces our deferred tax assets 
on our balance sheet. If we determine that the amount of our 
expected  future  taxable  income  will  allow  us  to  utilize  net 
operating losses in excess of our net deferred tax assets, we 
reduce our valuation allowance by recording a benefit from 
income taxes on our income statement, which increases net 
income, or reduces net loss, for that period and increases 
our deferred tax assets on our balance sheet.

FINANCIAL	OPErATIONS	OvErvIEw

revenues
We have generated substantially all of our revenues from 
sales  of  Biothrax.  We  delivered  approximately  5.2  mil-
lion  and  6.1  million  total  doses  of  Biothrax  in  2005  and 
2006, respectively, representing 97% of our total revenues 
in  both  years.  the  DoD  and  HHS  have  been  the  principal 
customers  for  Biothrax.  We  also  have  had  limited  sales 
of  Biothrax  to  foreign  governments  and  private  industry. 
In  addition,  we  periodically  realize  revenues  from  grants 
from  government  entities  and  non-government  and  phil-
anthropic organizations and from licensing fees, milestone 
payments  and  development  reimbursement  payments. 
these  items  accounted  for  3%  of  our  total  revenues  in 
each of 2005 and 2006. If our ongoing development efforts 
are  successful,  we  would  expect  to  generate  revenues 
from sales of additional products and milestone payments, 
development payments and royalties on sales of products 
that we license to third parties.

In May 2005, we entered into an agreement to supply five 
million  doses  of  Biothrax  to  HHS  for  the  SNS  for  a  fixed 
price of $123 million. We completed delivery of all five mil-
lion  doses  by  February  2006,  seven  months  earlier  than 
required. In May 2006, we entered into a contract modifica-
tion with HHS for the delivery of an additional five million 
doses of Biothrax for the SNS by May 2007 for a fixed price 
of  $120  million.  We  delivered  approximately  four  million  
of these doses in December 2006 and the balance in February 
2007, more than two months earlier than required.

In  January  2004,  we  entered  into  our  current  contract 
with  the  DoD  for  the  delivery  of  a  minimum  number  of 
doses  of  Biothrax  over  one  base  contract  year  plus  two 

option periods for a minimum fixed price of approximately  
$91  million.  Under  the  original  terms  of  this  contract, 
we  were  required  to  deliver  a  minimum  of  approximately  
3.8 million total doses through September 2006. We deliv-
ered approximately 4.9 million total doses under this con-
tract  from  2004  through  September  30,  2006  pursuant  to 
DoD purchase orders. Our current contract with the DoD 
was  amended  to  provide  for  the  supply  of  a  minimum  of 
approximately  1.5  million  additional  doses  of  Biothrax 
to the DoD through September  2007. We delivered to  the 
DoD  approximately  480,000  of  these  doses  in  December 
2006, and we expect to deliver the balance by September 
2007.  We  have  invoiced  the  DoD,  as  contemplated  under 
this contract, for progress payments as doses of Biothrax 
are manufactured for sale to the DoD. In accordance with 
our revenue recognition policy, we record deferred revenue 
for  invoiced  amounts  until  the  FDA  releases  the  product 
for  sale  and  delivery.  As  of  December  31,  2006,  we  had 
no deferred revenue for DoD sales. In April 2006, the DoD 
issued  a  notice  that  it  intends  to  negotiate  a  sole  source 
fixed price contract for the purchase of up to an additional  
11 million doses of Biothrax over one base year plus four 
option years. the DoD has not issued a formal request for 
proposals for such a contract and we have not yet entered 
into an agreement with the DoD for this procurement.

In  May  2006,  we  entered  into  a  collaboration  agreement 
with Sanofi Pasteur relating to the development and com-
mercialization  of  our  meningitis  B  vaccine  candidate  and 
received a $3.8 million upfront license fee. this agreement 
also provides for a series of milestone payments upon the 
achievement of specified development and commercializa-
tion objectives, payments for development work under the 
collaboration and royalties on net sales of this product. We 
deferred  the  upfront  license  fee,  milestone  payments  and 
development  reimbursement  payments  under  this  agree-
ment, and will record revenue in accordance with our reve- 
nue recognition policies.

Our revenue, operating results and profitability have varied, 
and  we  expect  that  they  will  continue  to  vary,  on  a  quar-
terly basis primarily because of the timing of our fulfilling 
orders  for  Biothrax.  We  expect  contracts  and  grant  reve-
nues to increase in 2007 compared to 2006 as we receive 
reimbursement for development expenses under our men-
ingitis B collaboration with Sanofi Pasteur, funding from the 
Wellcome  trust  for  costs  associated  with  our  completed 
Phase  I  clinical  trial  and  initiated  Phase  II  clinical  trial  of 
our typhoid vaccine candidate in Vietnam and funding from 
NIAID for costs associated with our animal efficacy studies 
for our anthrax immune globulin candidate.

Cost	of	Product	Sales
the  primary  expense  that  we  incur  to  deliver  Biothrax  to 
our customers is manufacturing costs, which are primar-
ily fixed costs. these fixed manufacturing costs consist of 
attributable  facilities,  utilities  and  salaries  and  personnel 
related expenses for indirect manufacturing support staff. 
Variable manufacturing costs for Biothrax consist primar-
ily  of  costs  for  materials,  direct  labor  and  contract  filling 
operations.  In  2005,  we  improved  manufacturing  efficien-
cies for Biothrax. As a result, the cost of product sales per 
dose of Biothrax decreased in 2006 compared to 2005, as 
well as in 2005 compared to 2004. We do not expect further 
significant improvements in manufacturing efficiencies for 
Biothrax until we complete our new manufacturing facility 
in lansing, Michigan. We expect our manufacturing costs to 
remain relatively stable during 2007.

We determine the cost of product sales for doses sold for a 
period based on the average manufacturing cost per dose 
for  that  period.  We  calculate  the  average  manufacturing 
cost per dose by dividing the actual costs of manufacturing 
in the applicable period by the number of units produced in 
that period. In addition to the fixed and variable manufac-
turing  costs  described  above,  the  average  manufacturing 
cost per dose depends on the efficiency of the manufactur-
ing process, utilization of available manufacturing capacity 
and the production yield for any period.

research	and	Development	Expenses
We expense research and development costs as incurred. 
Our research and development expenses consist primar-
ily of:

•   salaries and related expenses for personnel;
•   fees to professional service providers for, among other 
things, preclinical and analytical testing, independently 
monitoring our clinical trials and acquiring and evalu-
ating data from our clinical trials;

•   costs of contract manufacturing services;
•   costs of materials used in clinical trials and research 

and development;

•   depreciation  of  capital  assets  used  to  develop  our 

products; and

•   operating costs, such as the operating cost of facilities 
and the legal costs of pursuing patent protection of our 
intellectual property.

the  successful  development  of  our  product  candidates  is 
highly uncertain. We believe that significant investment in 
product development is a competitive necessity and plan to 
continue these investments in order to be in a position to 
realize the potential of our product candidates. We cannot 
reasonably  estimate  or  know  the  nature,  timing  and  pro-
jected  costs  of  the  efforts  that  will  be  necessary  to  com-
plete  the  remainder  of  the  development  for  our  product 

candidates, or the period, if any, in which material net cash 
inflows may commence from any of our product candidates. 
this is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associ-
ated with developing drugs, including the uncertainty of:

•   the scope, rate of progress and expense of our clinical 
trials and other research and development activities;
•   our  ability  to  obtain  adequate  supplies  of  our  prod-
uct  candidates  required  for  later  stage  clinical  trials, 
including from third party manufacturers;

•   the  potential  benefits  of  our  product  candidates  over 

other products;

•   our ability to market, commercialize and achieve mar-
ket acceptance for any of our product candidates that 
we are developing or may develop in the future;

•   future clinical trial results;
•   the terms and timing of regulatory approvals; and
•   the  expense  of  filing,  prosecuting,  defending  and 
enforcing  any  patent  claims  and  other  intellectual 
property rights.

A  change  in  the  outcome  of  any  of  these  variables  with 
respect  to  the  development  of  a  product  candidate  could 
mean a significant change in the costs and timing associ-
ated with the development of that product candidate.

We expect that development spending will increase for all 
of our biodefense product candidates as our product devel-
opment  activities  continue  and  we  prepare  for  regulatory 
submissions  and  other  regulatory  activities.  We  expect 
our development expenses in our commercial business to 
increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particu-
larly as we conduct additional and later stage clinical trials 
for our product candidates. 

We expect that the magnitude of any increase in our research 
and development spending will be dependent upon such fac-
tors as the results from our ongoing preclinical studies and 
clinical trials, the size, structure and duration of any follow 
on clinical program that we may initiate, cost associated with 
manufacturing our product candidates on a large scale basis 
for later stage clinical trials, our ability to use data generated 
by  government  agencies,  such  as  the  ongoing  Centers  for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) studies with Biothrax, 
and our ability to rely upon and utilize clinical and non-clini-
cal  data,  such  as  the  data  generated  by  CDC  from  use  of 
the  pentavalent  botulinum  toxoid  vaccine  previously  manu-
factured by the State of Michigan. Furthermore, if the FDA 
or other regulatory authority were to require us to conduct 
clinical trials beyond those which we currently anticipate will 
be required for the completion of clinical development of a 
product  candidate  or  if  we  experience  significant  delays  in 
enrollment in any of our clinical trials, we could be required 
to expend significant additional financial resources and time 
on the completion of clinical development.

2006 Annual Report

Selling,	General	and	Administrative	Expenses
Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  consist  pri-
marily  of  salaries  and  other  related  costs  for  personnel 
serving the executive, sales and marketing, business devel-
opment, finance, accounting, information technology, legal 
and  human  resource  functions.  Other  costs  include  facil-
ity costs not otherwise included in cost of product sales or 
research  and  development  expense  and  professional  fees 
for legal and accounting services. We expect that our gen-
eral  and  administrative  expenses  will  increase  as  we  add 
personnel to support the increased scale of our operations 
and  become  subject  to  the  reporting  obligations  applica-
ble  to  public  companies.  Our  general  and  administrative 
expenses  have  increased  as  a  result  of  preparing  for  our 
initial public offering and subsequently operating as a pub-
lic company and supporting the overall growth of the com-
pany. We currently market and sell Biothrax directly to the 
DoD and HHS with a small, targeted marketing and sales 
group. As we seek to broaden the market for Biothrax and 
if  we  receive  marketing  approval  for  additional  products, 
we expect that we will increase our spending for marketing 
and sales activities.

Total	Other	Income	(Expense)
total other income (expense) consists principally of inter-
est income and interest expense. We earn interest on our 
cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term  investments,  and 
we incur interest expense on our indebtedness. Our inter-
est income may increase in future periods as a result of the 
investment of the net proceeds from our initial public offer-
ing. Our net interest expense will increase in future periods 
as compared to prior periods as a result of the mortgage 
loan that we entered into in April 2006 and the term loan 
that we entered into in August 2006, as well as any borrow-
ings  under  our  revolving  lines  of  credit.  In  addition,  some 
of  our  existing  debt  arrangements  provide  for  increasing 
amortization  of  principal  payments  in  future  periods.  See 
“liquidity  and  Capital  Resources—Debt  Financing”  for 
additional information.

revenues
Product sales revenues increased by $20.7 million, or 16%, 
to $148.0 million for 2006 from $127.3 million for 2005. this 
increase in product sales revenues was primarily due to a 
18% increase in the number of doses of Biothrax delivered. 
Product sales revenues in 2006 consisted of Biothrax sales 
to HHS of $109.8 million, sales to the DoD of $37.4 million 
and  aggregate  international  and  other  sales  of  $763,000. 
Product sales revenues in 2005 consisted of Biothrax sales 

to HHS of $111.2 million, sales to the DoD of $14.5 million 
and aggregate international and other sales of $1.6 million.

Contracts  and  grant  revenues  increased  by  $1.3  mil-
lion,  or  39%,  to  $4.7  million  in  2006  from  $3.4  million  in 
2005.  Contracts  and  grant  revenues  for  2006  consisted  of  
$3.2 million in upfront and development program revenue 
from  the  Sanofi  Pasteur  collaboration  and  $1.5  million  in 
grant  revenue  from  the  Wellcome  trust.  Contracts  and 
grant  revenues  for  2005  resulted  from  reimbursement 
from  the  DoD  for  expenses  related  to  production  devel-
opment  and  supply  chain  management  improvements  for 
Biothrax incurred in prior periods, and for additional work 
that we performed on a project basis for the DoD’s Defense 
Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, to evaluate 
a new vaccine adjuvant for Biothrax.

Cost	of	Product	Sales
Cost  of  product  sales  decreased  by  $7.5  million,  or  24%, 
to $24.1 million for 2006 from $31.6 million for 2005. this 
decrease  was  attributable  to  improved  utilization  of  our 
manufacturing capacity for Biothrax, partially offset by an 
increase  of  approximately  900,000  Biothrax  doses  deliv-
ered. Manufacturing efficiencies resulted in a cost savings 
of  approximately  $13.1  million.  the  increase  in  the  num-
ber  of  doses  delivered  resulted  in  an  increase  in  costs  of 
approximately $5.6 million.

research	and	Development	Expenses
Research and development expenses increased by $27.1 mil- 
lion to $45.5 million for 2006 from $18.4 million for 2005. 
this increase reflects increased expenses of $11.9 million 
in  the  biodefense  segment  and  $15.9  million  in  the  com-
mercial segment, offset by a reduction of $633,000 in other 
research and development expense.

the  increase  in  biodefense  spending  was  attributable  to 
increased  efforts  on  all  our  biodefense  programs  as  we 
completed  various  studies  and  began  subsequent  studies 
and  trials.  this  increase  primarily  reflects  additional  per-
sonnel and contract service costs. the increase in spending 
for Biothrax enhancements is related to preparing for ani-
mal  efficacy  studies  to  support  applications  for  marketing 
approval of these enhancements, which we expect to sub-
mit  to  the  FDA  in  late  2008  or  early  2009.  the  increase  in 
spending for immune globulin development related primar-
ily  to  costs  associated  with  our  plasma  donor  stimulation 
program  for  our  anthrax  immune  globulin  candidate.  the 
increase  in  spending  for  the  recombinant  botulinum  vac-
cine program, which is in preclinical development, resulted 
from  advancing  this  program  to  the  process  development 
stage  and  the  manufacture  of  clinical  trial  material.  the 
increase in spending for the next generation anthrax vaccine 
program,  which  has  product  candidates  in  preclinical  and

Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

 
Phase I clinical development, resulted from feasibility stud-
ies and formulation development of product candidates.

Our principal research and development expenses for 2005 
and 2006 are shown in the following table:

the  increase  in  commercial  spending  was  mainly  attrib-
utable  to  spending  on  the  commercial  products  listed  in 
the table below following our acquisition of Microscience 
in  June  2005.  this  increase  primarily  reflects  additional 
personnel and contract service costs. Research and devel-
opment spending by Microscience prior to our acquisition 
of Microscience in June 2005 is not included in our results 
for 2005. the spending for our typhoid vaccine candidate 
resulted  from  ongoing  work  for  the  Phase  I  clinical  trial 
in  Vietnam  that  we  recently  completed  and  preparing  for 
our  Phase  II  clinical  trial  in  Vietnam  that  we  initiated  in 
the  fourth  quarter  of  2006.  the  spending  in  2006  for  our 
hepatitis  B  therapeutic  vaccine  candidate  resulted  from 
preparing for our Phase II clinical trial, which we received 
regulatory clearance to commence in the fourth quarter of 
2006. the spending in 2006 for our group B streptococcus 
vaccine candidate resulted from costs associated with our 
analysis  of  results  from  the  Phase  I  clinical  trial  that  we 
recently  completed  for  one  of  the  protein  components  of 
the vaccine candidate and preparation for Phase I clinical 
trials for two of the protein components of the vaccine can-
didate.  In  December  2006,  we  signed  an  agreement  with 
the  NIAID  under  which  the  NIAID  has  agreed  to  sponsor 
a  Phase  I  clinical  trial  of  a  each  of  the  two  components 
seperately and the two-proteins in combination in healthy 
human volunteers. Both our chlamydia vaccine and menin-
gitis B vaccine candidates are in preclinical development.

the decrease in other research and development expenses 
was primarily attributable to our discontinuation of preclini-
cal programs that we acquired from Antex and determined 
not to pursue at that time.

Selling,	General	and	Administrative	Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 
$1.8 million, or 4%, to $44.6 million for 2006 from $42.8 mil-
lion for 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses 
related to our biodefense segment decreased by $508,000, 
or  1%,  to  $35.0  million  for  2006  from  $35.5  million  for 
2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses related 
to our commercial segment increased by $2.3 million, or 
32%,  to  $9.6  million  for  2006  from  $7.3  million  for  2005. 
the  increase  in  the  commercial  segment  was  primarily 
attributable  to  an  increase  in  general  and  administrative 
expenses of approximately $1.0 million resulting from the 
addition  of  personnel  and  increased  legal  and  other  pro-
fessional services for our headquarters organization, and 
an increase of $937,000 related to the addition of person-
nel for Emergent Product Development UK.

Purchased	In-process	research	and	Development
In June 2005, we recorded a non-cash charge for purchased 
in-process research and development of $26.6 million asso-
ciated with our acquisition of Microscience. We valued the 
3,636,801 shares of class A common stock that we issued in 
the acquisition at $28.2 million after the inclusion of acqui-
sition  costs.  Of  this  amount,  we  identified  $1.4  million  as 
current assets, $0.9 million as fixed assets, $0.7 million as 
current  liabilities  and  $26.6  million  as  the  value  attribut-
able  to  development  programs.  Because  we  determined 
that  the  development  programs  had  no  future  alternative 
use, we charged the value attributable to the development 
programs as purchased in-process research and develop-
ment. We are amortizing this charge for tax purposes over 
15 years.

In July 2006, we recorded a non-cash charge for purchased 
in-process research and development of $477,000 associ-
ated with our acquisition of ViVacs. We paid total purchase 
consideration of $250,000 and assumed a net deficit of lia-
bilities in excess of assets of $47,000. We valued the acqui-
sition  at  $430,000  after  the  inclusion  of  acquisition  costs. 
Of  this  amount,  we  identified  $153,000  as  current  assets, 
$97,000 as fixed assets, $297,000 as current liabilities and 
$477,000  as  the  value  attributable  to  development  pro-
grams  and  technology.  Because  we  determined  that  the 
development programs and technology had no future alter-
native use, we charged the value attributable to the devel-
opment programs and technology as purchased in-process 
research and development. We are amortizing this charge 
for tax purposes over 15 years.

Litigation	Settlement
In June 2005, we recorded a gain of $10.0 million relating 
to  a  settlement  of  a  litigation  matter  that  we  initiated  to 
resolve a contract and intellectual property dispute. there 
were no material settlements during 2006.

Total	Other	Income	(Expense)
total other expense decreased by $214,000 to $13,000 for 
2006 from $227,000 for 2005. this decrease resulted pri-
marily from an increase in interest income of $361,000 as 
a  result  of  higher  investment  return  on  increased  aver-
age  cash  balances,  including  the  net  proceeds  of  our 
initial  public  offering,  and  an  increase  in  other  income 
of  $238,000,  offset  by  an  increase  in  interest  expense 
of  $385,000  related  primarily  to  the  mortgage  loan  we 
entered  into  in  April  2006  and  the  term  loan  we  entered 
into in August 2006.

Income	Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased by $9.9 to $15.2 mil-
lion for 2006 from $5.3 million for 2005.  the provision for 
income taxes for 2006 resulted primarily from our income 
before  provision  for  income  taxes  of  $38.0  million  and  an 
effective annual tax rate of 40%. the provision for income 
taxes  for  2005  resulted  primarily  from  our  income  before 
provision for income taxes of $21.1 million and an effective 
annual tax rate of 25%. the increase in the effective annual 
tax rate is due primarily to the impact of foreign and state 
net operating losses and an increase in permanent differ-
ences, including incentive stock options. the provision for 
income  taxes  also  reflects  research  and  development  tax 
credits of $759,000 for 2006 and $474,000 for 2005.

revenues
Product sales revenues increased by $46.3 million, or 57%, 
to $127.3 million for 2005 from $81.0 million for 2004. this 
increase in product sales revenues was primarily due to a 
52%  increase  in  the  number  of  doses  delivered.  Product 
sales revenues in 2005 consisted of Biothrax sales to HHS 
of  $111.2  million,  sales  to  the  DoD  of  $14.5  million  and 
aggregate international sales of $1.6 million. Product sales 
revenues in 2004 consisted of Biothrax sales to the DoD of 
$80.6 million and international sales of $360,000.

Contracts  and  grant  revenues  increased  by  $937,000,  or 
38%, to $3.4 million in 2005 from $2.5 million in 2004 pri-
marily as a result of additional work that we performed on a 
project basis for DARPA to evaluate a new vaccine adjuvant 
for Biothrax.

Cost	of	Product	Sales
Cost of product sales increased by $1.5 million, or 5%, to 
$31.6  million  for  2005  from  $30.1  million  for  2004.  this 
increase was attributable to the delivery of 1.8 million addi-
tional doses of Biothrax in 2005 and a decrease in produc-
tion yield, resulting in a higher average manufacturing cost 
per dose in 2005, offset by improved utilization of our man-
ufacturing  capacity  for  Biothrax  as  a  result  of  extending 
the  hours  of  operation  for  our  manufacturing  facility.  the 
increase in the number of doses delivered combined with 
the decrease in production yield resulted in additional costs 
of $6.6 million. Manufacturing efficiencies resulted in a cost 
savings of $5.1 million.

research	and	Development	Expenses
Research and development expenses increased by $8.3 mil- 
lion,  or  82%,  to  $18.4  million  for  2005  from  $10.1  million 
for  2004.  this  increase  reflects  increased  expenses  of  
$4.0 million in the biodefense segment and $5.8 million in 
the commercial segment, offset by a reduction of $1.6 mil-
lion in other research and development expenses.

the increase in spending in the biodefense segment resulted 
from costs associated with our plasma collection program 
for our anthrax immune globulin candidate, process devel-
opment related to our recombinant botulinum vaccine can-
didate  and  evaluation  of  third  party  technology  related  to 
our next generation anthrax vaccine program for potential 
acquisition or in license, offset by decreased spending on 
Biothrax enhancements. In 2004, the immune globulin pro-
gram was in initial development and we had not yet begun 
work on the recombinant botulinum vaccine and next gen-
eration anthrax vaccine candidates. the decrease in spend-
ing  on  Biothrax  enhancements  resulted  from  substantial 
completion during 2004 of research regarding manufactur-
ing process development for Biothrax to improve the stabil-
ity and consistency of production lots.

the increase in spending in the commercial segment was 
attributable to spending on the commercial programs listed 
in the table below following our acquisition of Microscience 
in  June  2005.  Research  and  development  spending  by 
Microscience  is  not  included  in  our  results  prior  to  the 
acquisition date. the commercial spending in 2005 resulted 
from  the  Phase  I  clinical  trial  in  Vietnam  for  our  typhoid 
vaccine candidate, preparation for a planned Phase II clini-
cal trial for our hepatitis B therapeutic vaccine candidate, 
including the manufacture of clinical trial material, prepa-
ration for one of three planned Phase I clinical trials related 
to one of the protein components of our group B strepto-
coccus vaccine candidate and preclinical work for our chla-
mydia vaccine and meningitis B vaccine candidates.

the  decrease  in  spending  on  other  research  and  devel-
opment  expenses  was  attributable  to  our  discontinuation 
of  preclinical  programs  that  we  acquired  from  Antex  and 
determined not to pursue at that time.

Our principal research and development expenses for 2004 
and 2005 are shown in the following table:

Selling,	General	and	Administrative	Expenses
Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased 
by  $12.5  million,  or  41%,  to  $42.8  million  for  2005  from  
$30.3 million for 2004. Selling, general and administrative 
expenses related to our biodefense segment increased by 
$6.4  million  to  $35.5  million  for  2005  from  $29.0  million 
for  2004.  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses 
related to our commercial segment increased by $6.0 mil-
lion  to  $7.3  million  for  2005  from  $1.3  million  for  2004. 
the  increase  in  the  biodefense  segment  was  attributable 
to  an  increase  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  of  
$5.5 million resulting from additional personnel and pro-
fessional service providers for our headquarters organiza-
tion who devoted time to the biodefense segment and an 
increase in sales and marketing expenses of $1.0 million 
resulting  from  the  addition  of  sales  personnel  to  investi-
gate potential other markets for Biothrax. the increase in 
the commercial segment was attributable to an increase in 
general and administrative expenses of $5.3 million result-
ing  from  the  addition  of  personnel  for  Emergent  Product 
Development UK and legal expenses associated with reor-
ganizing our corporate structure following our acquisition 
of Microscience in June 2005.

equivalents.

Net cash used in operating activities of $4.3 million in 2006 
resulted  principally  from  our  net  income  of  $22.8  million, 
an  increase  in  income  taxes  payable  of  $11.5  million  due 
to  the  timing  of  payment  of  the  2006  income  tax  liability, 
an increase in accounts payable of $5.8 million related to 
increased  research  and  development  and  selling,  general 
and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amor-
tization  expense  of  $4.7  million,  offset  by  an  increase  in 
accounts receivable of $40.8 million due from the DoD and 
HHS reflecting amounts billed in December 2006 that were 
still outstanding at year end, and a reduction in inventory of 
$8.3 million reflecting product sales in December 2006.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $42.0 million in 
2005 resulted principally from our net income of $15.8 mil-
lion, a non-cash charge for purchased in-process research 
and  development  related  to  the  Microscience  acquisition, 
which  reduced  net  income  by  $26.6  million,  and  a  reduc-
tion  of  accounts  receivable  of  $16.1  million  as  a  result  of 
the  collection  of  amounts  due  from  the  DoD  during  2005 
for invoices outstanding at the end of 2004 for progress in 
the manufacture of Biothrax lots, offset by a reduction of 
deferred  revenue  of  $10.9  million,  reflecting  the  delivery 
to the DoD in the first quarter of 2005 of Biothrax lots for 
which we had previously invoiced the DoD for progress pay-
ments and been paid, and an increase in deferred tax assets 
of $11.0 million, reflecting a deferred tax asset recorded to 
reflect the timing differences between the book charge and 
the  tax  deferral  of  expense  related  to  the  purchased  in-
process research and development expense related to the 
Microscience acquisition.

Litigation	Settlement
In  2005,  we  recorded  a  gain  of  $10.0  million  relating  to  a 
settlement of a litigation matter that we initiated to resolve 
a contract and intellectual property dispute. there were no 
material settlements in 2004.

Total	Other	Income	(Expense)
total  other  expense  increased  by  $57,000  to  $227,000  for 
2005  from  $170,000  for  2004.  this  increase  resulted  pri-
marily from an increase in interest expense associated with 
our financing of the acquisition costs for one building at our 
Frederick facility.

Income	Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased by $196,000, or 4%, to 
$5.3 million for 2005 from $5.1 million for 2004. the provi-
sion for income taxes for 2005 resulted primarily from our 
income before provision  for income taxes of $21.1  million 
and  an  effective  annual  tax  rate  of  25%.  the  provision  for 
income taxes for 2004 resulted primarily from our income 
before  provision  for  income  taxes  of  $16.6  million  and  an 
effective annual tax rate of 31%. the provision for income 
taxes also reflects research and development tax credits of 
$474,000 for 2005 and $492,000 for 2004 and small amounts 
of permanent tax differences in each year.

LIqUIDITY	AND	CAPITAL	rESOUrCES

Sources	of	Liquidity
We  require  cash  to  meet  our  operating  expenses  and 
for  capital  expenditures,  acquisitions  and  principal  and 
interest payments on our debt. We have funded our cash 
requirements  from  inception  through  December  31,  2006 
principally with a combination of revenues from Biothrax 
product sales, debt financings and facilities and equipment 
leases, revenues under our collaboration agreement with 
Sanofi  Pasteur,  development  funding  from  government 
entities and non-government and philanthropic organiza-
tions and, to a lesser extent, from the sale of our common 
stock  upon  exercise  of  stock  options.  We  have  operated 
profitably  for  each  of  the  years  in  the  three  year  period 
ended December 31, 2006.

As of December 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents 
of $76.4 million. On November 20, 2006, we completed our 
initial public offering, in which we raised $54.2 million, net 
of issuance costs.

Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

	
	
	
Net cash provided by operating activities of $9.2 million in 
2004 resulted principally from our net income of $11.5 mil-
lion, a non-cash stock-based compensation charge that we 
incurred as a result of our issuance of new stock options in 
our corporate reorganization in June 2004, which reduced 
net  income  by  $4.3  million,  an  increase  in  income  taxes 
payable of $5.8 million related to the timing of payment of 
taxes  and  related  deferred  tax  assets,  and  an  increase  in 
deferred revenue of $3.9 million, reflecting invoices to and 
payments from the DoD for progress in the manufacture of 
Biothrax lots, offset by an increase in accounts receivable 
of $15.7 million, reflecting invoices for amounts due from 
the DoD for progress in the manufacture of Biothrax lots, 
and a one-time non-cash gain of $3.8 million resulting from 
the satisfaction of an obligation to the State of Michigan for 
less than originally estimated.

Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  for  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2004,  2005  and  2006  resulted  principally 
from  the  purchase  of  property,  plant  and  equipment. 
Capital expenditures in 2004 include infrastructure invest-
ments  of  $4.7  million,  $3.8  million  for  an  enterprise 
resource  planning  system  and  $8.5  million  for  the  pur-
chase  of  our  first  facility  in  Frederick,  Maryland.  Capital 
expenditures in 2005 were primarily attributable to invest-
ments in information technology upgrades and miscella-
neous facility enhancements. Capital expenditures in 2006 
relate primarily to $25.7 million for construction of our new 

building in lansing, Michigan, $10.2 million related to the 
acquisition  of  our  second  facility  in  Frederick,  Maryland, 
and  approximately  $5.0  million  in  infrastructure  invest-
ments and other equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $86.0 million 
in 2006 resulted primarily from $54.2 million in proceeds 
from our initial public offering, $15.0 million in proceeds 
related  to  financing  a  portion  of  the  costs  related  to  the 
construction of our new building in lansing, $8.5 million 
in  proceeds  from  notes  payable  related  to  the  financing 
of the purchase of our Frederick facility in April 2006, and 
$8.9 million in proceeds from our revolving line of credit 
with Fifth third Bank.

Net  cash  used  in  financing  activities  of  $6.7  million  in 
2005  resulted  principally  from  the  payment  of  a  special 
dividend of $5.4 million from a portion of the proceeds of a 
litigation settlement and the repayment of notes payable 
to employees.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $8.7 million in 
2004 resulted principally from an increase in notes payable 
as a result of $11.0 million of total debt incurred to finance 
the purchase of our first facility in Frederick, Maryland and 
to finance the purchase of an enterprise resource planning 
system,  offset  by  the  repayment  of  non-recurring  royalty 
and product supply obligations to the State of Michigan of 
$2.4 million.

the preceding table excludes contingent contractual payments that we may become obligated to make upon achievement 
of specified research, development and commercialization milestones and contingent contractual royalty payments. the 
amount of contingent contractual milestone payments that we may become obligated to make is variable based on the 
actual achievement and timing of the applicable milestones and the characteristics of any products or product candidates 
that  are  developed,  including  factors  such  as  number  of  products  or  product  candidates  developed,  type  and  number 
of  components  of  each  product  or  product  candidate,  ownership  of  the  various  components  and  the  specific  markets 
affected. Based on our current development plans, we estimate that the maximum amount of these contingent contrac-
tual milestone payments under our existing contracts would be approximately $11 million. We are not obligated to pay any 
minimum royalties under our existing contracts.

Debt	Financing
As  of  December  31,  2006,  we  had  $42.8  million  princi-
pal  amount  of  debt  outstanding,  comprised  primarily  of  
the following:

•   $2.5  million  outstanding  under  a  forgivable  loan 
from  the  Department  of  Business  and  Economic 
Development of the State of Maryland used to finance 
eligible costs incurred to purchase the first facility in 
Frederick, Maryland;

•   $7.0  million  outstanding  under  a  mortgage  loan  from 
Mercantile Potomac Bank used to finance the remaining 
portion of the purchase price for the Frederick facility;
•   $8.4 million outstanding under a mortgage loan from 
HSBC  Realty  Credit  Corporation  used  to  finance  
the  purchase  price  for  the  second  facility  on  the 
Frederick site;

•   $1.0 million outstanding under a term loan from Fifth 
third Bank used to finance the purchase of an enter-
prise resource planning system;

•   $8.9 million outstanding under a $10.0 million revolv-

ing line of credit with Fifth third Bank;

•   $10.0  million  outstanding  under  a  term  loan  from 
HSBC Realty Credit Corporation used to finance a por-
tion  of  the  costs  of  our  facility  expansion  in  lansing, 
Michigan; and

•   $5.0 million outstanding under a $5.0 million revolving 
line of credit with HSBC Realty Credit Corporation.

We can borrow under the line of credit with Fifth third Bank 
through May 2007 and under the line of credit with HSBC 
Realty Credit Corporation through October 2007.

Some of these debt instruments contain financial and oper-
ating covenants. In particular:

•   Under our forgivable loan from the State of Maryland, 
we  are  not  required  to  repay  the  principal  amount  of 
the loan if beginning December 31, 2009 and through 
2012  we  maintain  a  specified  number  of  employees 
at  the  Frederick  site,  by  December  31,  2009  we  have 
invested  at  least  $42.9  million  in  total  funds  toward 
financing the purchase of the buildings on the site and 
for related improvements and operation of the facility, 
and we occupy the facility through 2012.

•   Under  our  mortgage  loan  from  Mercantile  Potomac 
Bank  for  our  Frederick  facility,  we  are  required  to 
maintain at all times a minimum tangible net worth of 
not less than $5.0 million. In addition, we are required 
to maintain at all times a ratio of earnings before inter-
est, taxes, depreciation and amortization to the sum of 
current obligations under capital leases and principal 
obligations and interest expenses for borrowed money, 
in each case due and payable within the following 12 
months, of not less than 1.1 to 1.0.

•   Under our revolving line of credit with Fifth third Bank, 
our  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Emergent  BioDefense 
Operations, is required to maintain at all times a ratio 
of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not more than 
2.5 to 1.0.

•   Under our term loan and revolving credit loan with HSBC 
Realty Credit Corporation, we are required to maintain 
on  an  annual  basis  a  minimum  tangible  net  worth  of 
not less than the sum of 85% of our tangible net worth 
for the most recently completed fiscal year plus 25% of 
current net operating profit after taxes. In addition, we 
are required to maintain on a quarterly basis a ratio of 
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amor-
tization for the most recent four quarters to the sum of 
current obligations under capital leases and principal 
obligations and interest expenses for borrowed money, 
in  each  case  due  and  payable  for  the  following  four 
quarters, of not less than 1.25 to 1.00.

Our  debt  instruments  also  contain  negative  covenants 
restricting our activities. Our term loan and revolving line of 
credit with HSBC Realty Credit Corporation limit the ability 
of Emergent BioDefense Operations to incur indebtedness 
and  liens,  sell  assets,  make  loans,  advances  or  guaran-
tees, enter into mergers or similar transactions and enter 
into transactions with affiliates. Our term loan and revolv-
ing line of credit with HSBC Realty Credit Corporation has 
various  limitations  on  our  ability  to  incur  indebtedness 
and  liens  and  enter  into  mergers  or  similar  transactions 
among others. Our line of credit with Fifth third Bank lim-
its the ability of Emergent BioDefense Operations to incur 
indebtedness and liens, sell assets, make loans, advances 
or guarantees, enter into mergers or similar transactions, 
enter into transactions with affiliates and amend the terms

the  facilities,  software  and  other  equipment  that  we  pur-
chased  with  the  proceeds  of  our  loans  from  Mercantile 
Potomac Bank, the State of Maryland, HSBC Realty Credit 
Corporation  and  Fifth  third  Bank  serve  as  collateral  for 
these  loans.  Our  line  of  credit  with  Fifth  third  Bank  is 
secured  by  accounts  receivable  under  our  DoD  and  HHS 
contracts.  Our  term  loan  and  revolving  line  of  credit  with 
HSBC  Realty  Credit  Corporation  are  secured  by  substan-
tially all of Emergent BioDefense Operations’ assets, other 
than accounts receivable under our DoD and HHS contracts. 
the covenants under our existing debt instruments and the 
pledge of our existing assets as collateral limit our ability to 
obtain additional debt financing.

Under our mortgage loan from Mercantile Potomac Bank, 
we began to make monthly principal payments beginning in 
November 2006. A residual principal repayment of approxi-
mately $5.0 million is due upon maturity in October 2011.

Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

Interest is payable monthly and accrues at an annual rate 
of 6.625% through October 2009. In October 2009, the inter-
est rate is scheduled to be adjusted to a fixed annual rate 
equal to 3.20% over the yield on U.S. government securities 
adjusted to a constant maturity of two years.

Under  our  mortgage  loan  from  HSBC  Realty  Credit 
Corporation,  we  are  required  to  make  monthly  principal 
payments. A residual principal repayment of approximately 
$7.5 million is due upon maturity in April 2011. Interest is 
payable  monthly  and  accrues  at  an  annual  rate  equal  to 
lIBOR plus 3.00%.

Under  our  term  loan  from  Fifth  third  Bank,  we  make 
monthly principal payments through maturity in September 
2007. Interest is payable monthly and accrues at an annual 
rate  equal  to  0.375%  less  than  the  prime  rate  of  interest 
established from time to time by Fifth third Bank.

Under our revolving line of credit with Fifth third Bank, any 
outstanding principal is due upon maturity in May 2007. the 
principal amount outstanding at any time under the line of 
credit may not exceed 75% of total eligible accounts receiv-
able  under  the  DoD  and  HHS  contracts.  Consistent  with 
the terms of this agreement, we repaid $8.9 million of out-
standing principal under the line of credit in January 2007. 
Interest is payable monthly and accrues at an annual rate 
equal to 0.375% less than the prime rate of interest estab-
lished from time to time by Fifth third Bank.

Under our term loan with HSBC Realty Credit Corporation, 
we are required to make monthly principal payments begin-
ning in April 2007. A residual principal payment of approxi-
mately  $5.6  million  is  due  upon  maturity  in  August  2011. 
Upon  our  request,  the  term  loan  is  subject  to  an  exten-
sion  term  in  the  sole  discretion  of  HSBC  Realty  Credit 
Corporation for five additional years until August 2016 for 
an  extension  fee  of  1.00%  of  the  principal  balance  of  the 
loan.  If  the  term  of  the  loan  were  extended,  we  would  be 
required  to  continue  to  make  monthly  principal  payments 
through  maturity  in  August  2016  in  lieu  of  the  residual 
principal  payment  otherwise  due  in  August  2011.  Interest 
is payable monthly and accrues at an annual rate equal to 
lIBOR plus 3.75%.

Under our revolving line of credit with HSBC Realty Credit 
Corporation, we are not required to repay outstanding prin-
cipal  until  October  2007.  In  October  2007,  the  outstand-
ing principal under the revolving line of credit will convert 
to  a  term  loan  with  required  monthly  principal  payments 
through maturity in August 2011. Interest is payable monthly 
and accrues at an annual rate equal to lIBOR plus 3.75%. 
We also are required to pay a fee on a quarterly basis equal 
to 0.50% of the average daily difference between $5.0 mil-
lion and the amount outstanding under the revolving line of 

credit. As of December 31, 2006, $5.0 million was outstand-
ing under the revolving line of credit.

Tax	Benefits
In  connection  with  our  facility  expansion  in  lansing,  the 
State of Michigan and the City of lansing have provided us a 
variety of tax credits and abatements. We estimate that the 
total value of these tax benefits may be up to $18.5 million 
over a period of up to 15 years. these tax benefits are based 
on  our  $75  million  planned  additional  investment  in  our 
lansing facilities. In addition, we must maintain a specified 
number of employees in lansing to continue to qualify for 
these tax benefits.

Funding	requirements
We  expect  to  continue  to  fund  our  anticipated  operating 
expenses,  capital  expenditures  and  debt  service  require-
ments from existing cash and cash equivalents, revenues 
from Biothrax product sales and other committed sources 
of  funding.  there  are  numerous  risks  and  uncertainties 
associated with Biothrax product sales and with the devel-
opment and commercialization of our product candidates. 
We may seek to raise additional external debt financing of 
up to $20 million to fund our facility expansion in lansing, 
Michigan  and  to  provide  additional  financial  flexibility.  In 
addition  to  purchase  obligations  and  orders  under  our 
contract  with  the  DoD  for  Biothrax  sales,  our  only  com-
mitted external sources of funds are remaining borrowing 
availability under our revolving line of credit with Fifth third 
Bank, development funding under our collaboration agree-
ment  with  Sanofi  Pasteur,  funding  from  NIAID,  including 
for animal efficacy studies of our anthrax immune globulin 
candidate,  and  funding  from  the  Wellcome  trust  for  our 
Phase  II  clinical  trial  of  our  typhoid  vaccine  candidate  in 
Vietnam.  Our  ability  to  borrow  additional  amounts  under 
our  loan  agreements  is  subject  to  our  satisfaction  of  
specified  conditions.  Our  future  capital  requirements  will 
depend on many factors, including:

•   the level and timing of Biothrax product sales and cost 

of product sales;

•   the  timing  of,  and  the  costs  involved  in,  constructing 
our  new  manufacturing  facility  in  lansing,  Michigan 
and  the  build  out  of  our  manufacturing  facility  in 
Frederick, Maryland;

•   the scope, progress, results and costs of our preclini-

cal and clinical development activities;

•   the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of 

our product candidates;

•   the  number  of,  and  development  requirements  for, 

other product candidates that we may pursue;

•   the  costs  of  commercialization  activities,  including 

product marketing, sales and distribution; 

•   the  costs  involved  in  preparing,  filing,  prosecuting,

maintaining  and  enforcing  patent  claims  and  other 
patent-related  costs,  including  litigation  costs  and 
the results of such litigation;

•   the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, 

However, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as 
those  for  employee  compensation  and  contract  services, 
which could increase our level of expenses and the rate at 
which we use our resources.

products and technologies; 

•   our ability to obtain development funding from govern-
ment  entities  and  non-government  and  philanthropic 
organizations; and

•   our  ability  to  establish  and  maintain  collaborations, 

such as our collaboration with Sanofi Pasteur.

We may require additional sources of funds for future acqui-
sitions that we may make or, depending on the size of the 
obligation, to meet balloon payments upon maturity of our 
current borrowings. to the extent our capital resources are 
insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we will 
need  to  finance  our  cash  needs  through  public  or  private 
equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration 
and licensing arrangements.

Additional  equity  or  debt  financing,  grants,  or  corporate 
collaboration  and  licensing  arrangements,  may  not  be 
available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds 
are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the 
scope of or eliminate our research and development pro-
grams or reduce our planned commercialization efforts. If 
we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our 
stockholders  may  experience  dilution.  Debt  financing,  if 
available, may involve agreements that include covenants 
limiting  or  restricting  our  ability  to  take  specific  actions, 
such  as  incurring  additional  debt,  making  capital  expen-
ditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or addi-
tional  equity  that  we  raise  may  contain  terms,  such  as 
liquidation and other preferences, that are not favorable to 
us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through 
collaboration  and  licensing  arrangements  with  third  par-
ties,  it  may  be  necessary  to  relinquish  valuable  rights  to 
our  technologies  or  product  candidates  or  grant  licenses 
on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Effects	of	Inflation
Our  most  liquid  assets  are  cash,  cash  equivalents  and 
short-term  investments.  Because  of  their  liquidity,  these 
assets are not directly affected by inflation. We also believe 
that  we  have  intangible  assets  in  the  value  of  our  intel-
lectual  property.  In  accordance  with  generally  accepted 
accounting principles, we have not capitalized the value of 
this intellectual property on our balance sheet. Due to the 
nature  of  this  intellectual  property,  we  believe  that  these 
intangible assets are not affected by inflation. Because we 
intend to retain and continue to use our equipment, furni-
ture and fixtures and leasehold improvements, we believe 
that the incremental inflation related to replacement costs 
of  such  items  will  not  materially  affect  our  operations. 

recent	Accounting	Pronouncements
In  June  2006,  the  FASB  issued  FASB  Interpretation  48, 
Accounting  for  Uncertainty  in  Income  Taxes—an  interpreta-
tion of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes 
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in 
income  taxes.  FIN  48  prescribes  a  recognition  threshold 
and  measurement  attribute  for  the  financial  statement 
recognition  and  measurement  of  a  tax  position  taken 
or  expected  to  be  taken  in  a  tax  return.  FIN  48  requires 
that  the  Company  recognize  in  its  financial  statements, 
the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely 
than not of being sustained on audit, based on the techni-
cal merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance 
on  derecognition,  classification,  interest  and  penalties, 
accounting  in  interim  periods  and  disclosure.  the  provi-
sions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2006,

We  will  adopt  FIN  48  as  of  January  1,  2007,  as  required. 
the cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded 
as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings and other 
accounts as applicable. Although we have not made a final 
determination of the effect the adoption of FIN 48 will have 
on  our  financial  position  and  results  of  operations,  it  is 
expected that the cumulative adjustment to retained earn-
ings will not have a material effect on our financial state-
ments. the adoption of FIN 48 will impact the amount of, 
and balance sheet classification of, deferred tax assets and 
liabilities,  and  other  accounts  as  applicable,  and  result  in 
greater volatility in the effective tax rate.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair 
Value  Option  for  Financial  Assets  and  Financial  Liabilities— 
Including  an  Amendment  of  FASB  Statement  No.  115  (SFAS 
No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to mea-
sure many financial instruments and certain other items at 
fair value. the objective is to improve financial reporting by 
providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in 
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and 
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge 
accounting  provisions. the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are 
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. 
We  have  not  yet  determined  the  impact  of  the  adoption  of 
this statement on our financial statements.

In  September  2006,  the  SEC  issued  Staff  Accounting 
Bulletin  (SAB  108),  Considering  the  Effects  of  Prior  Year 
Misstatements  when  Quantifying  Misstatements  in  Current 
Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 requires that registrants

Our  exposure  to  market  risk  is  currently  confined  to  our 
cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  restricted  cash  that  have 
maturities of less than three months. We currently do not 
hedge interest rate exposure or foreign currency exchange 
exposure.  We  have  not  used  derivative  financial  instru-
ments  for  speculation  or  trading  purposes.  Because  of 
the  short-term  maturities  of  our  cash  and  cash  equiva-

operations approach and evaluate whether either approach 
results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quan-
titative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. 
SAB 108 became effective during the fourth quarter of 2006. 
the Company has determined that adoption of this state-
ment had no impact on the financial statements.

In  September  2006,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  157,  Fair 
Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines 
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value 
in  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  expands 
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 
emphasizes  that  fair  value  is  a  market-based  measure-
ment, not an entity-specific measurement. therefore, a fair 
value  measurement  should  be  determined  based  on  the 
assumptions  that  market  participants  would  use  in  pric-
ing the asset or liability. the provisions of SFAS No. 157 are 
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 
and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not 
yet determined the impact of the adoption of this statement 
on our financial statements.

Board	of	Directors	and	Stockholders	of	Emergent	BioSolutions	Inc.	and	Subsidiaries

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Emergent  BioSolutions  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  as  of 
December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. these financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s inter-
nal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis 
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion 
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 
An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial state-
ments,  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  and  evaluating  the 
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial 
position of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the consolidated results of 
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with 
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2006 the Company changed its method of accounting 
for share-based payments.

Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES	TO	CONSOLIDATED	FINANCIAL	STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1.	 NATUrE	OF	THE	BUSINESS	AND	OrGANIzATION
Emergent Biosolutions Inc. (the Company or Emergent) is 
a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, 
manufacture and commercialization of immunobiotics. the 
Company operates  in two  business segments:  biodefense 
and commercial. the Company commenced operations as 
BioPort Corporation (BioPort) in September 1998 through an 
acquisition from the Michigan Biologic Products Institute of 
rights to the marketed product, Biothrax, vaccine manufac-
turing facilities at a multi-building campus on approximately 
12.5  acres  in  lansing,  Michigan  and  vaccine  develop-
ment  and  production  know-how.  Following  this  acquisi-
tion,  the  Company  completed  renovations  at  the  lansing 
facilities  that  had  been  initiated  by  the  State  of  Michigan. 
In December 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) approved a supplement to the Company’s manufac-
turing facility license for the manufacture of Biothrax at the 
renovated facilities. In June 2004, the Company completed a 
corporate reorganization (Reorganization) in which:

•   Emergent  issued  18,666,479  shares  of  Class  A 
Common Stock in exchange for 18,017,994 shares of 
BioPort class A common stock and 648,485 shares of 
BioPort class B common stock;

•   all other issued and outstanding shares of BioPort class 
B common stock were repurchased and retired; and
•   all  outstanding  stock  options  to  purchase  BioPort 
class  B  common  stock  were  assumed  by  Emergent 
and  option  holders  were  granted  replacement  stock 
options  to  purchase  an  equal  number  of  shares  of 
Class B Common Stock of Emergent.

As a result of the Reorganization, BioPort became a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Emergent. the Company has renamed 
BioPort  as  Emergent  BioDefense  Operations  lansing  Inc. 
(Emergent BioDefense Operations). the Company acquired 
its portfolio of commercial vaccine candidates through an 
acquisition  of  Microscience  limited  (Microscience)  in  a 
share  exchange  in  June  2005  and  an  acquisition  of  sub-
stantially  all  of  the  assets,  for  cash,  of  Antex  Biologics 
Inc.  (Antex)  in  May  2003  and  ViVacs  GmbH,  Germany  in 
July  2006.  the  Company  has  renamed  Microscience  as 
Emergent Product Development UK limited and Antex as 
Emergent  Product  Development  Gaithersburg  and  ViVacs 
as Emergent Product Development Germany GmbH.

2.	 	SUMMArY	OF	SIGNIFICANT	ACCOUNTING	POLICIES

Basis	of	Presentation	and	Consolidation
the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements 
include  the  accounts  of  Emergent  and  its  wholly  owned 
subsidiaries.  All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and 
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use	of	Estimates
the preparation of financial statements in conformity 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 
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the 
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts 
of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash	and	Cash	Equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a matu-
rity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase and consist 
of  time  deposits  and  investments  in  money  market  funds 
with commercial banks and financial institutions. Also, the 
Company maintains cash balances with financial institutions 
in excess of insured limits. the Company does not anticipate 
any losses with such cash balances. At December 31, 2005 
and 2006 the Company maintained all of its cash and cash 
equivalents in three financial institutions.

Fair	value	of	Financial	Instruments
the carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term finan-
cial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, 
accounts  receivable  and  accounts  payable,  approximate 
their  fair  values  due  to  their  short  maturities.  the  fair 
value  of  the  Company’s  long-term  indebtedness  is  esti-
mated based on the quoted prices for the same or similar 
issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for 
debt of the same remaining maturities. the carrying value 
and fair value of long-term indebtedness were $11,910 and 
$11,497,  respectively,  at  December  31,  2005  and  $33,841 
and $33,233, respectively, at December 31, 2006.

restricted	Cash
Restricted  cash  at  December  31,  2006  consists  of  a  cer-
tificate  of  deposit  held  by  a  bank  as  collateral  for  a  let-
ter  of  credit  acting  as  a  security  deposit  on  a  loan.  As  of 
December 31, 2005 and 2006 the Company had restricted 
cash of $0 and $192, respectively.

Significant	Customers	and	Accounts	receivable
the Company’s primary customers are the U.S. Department 
of Defense (DoD) and U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services  (HHS).  For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2004, 
2005 and 2006, sales of Biothrax to the DoD and HHS com-
prised 99%, 96% and 97% of total revenues, respectively. As 
of December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company’s receivable 
balances were comprised of 38% and 100%, respectively, 
from  these  customers.  the  balance  of  the  receivables  in 
2005  was  attributable  to  government  funding  for  NIAID. 
Unbilled accounts receivable, included in accounts receiv-
able, totaling $1,418 and $26 as of December 31, 2005 and 

42

Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

2006,  respectively,  relate  to  various  service  contracts  for 
which product has been delivered or work has been per-
formed,  though  invoicing  has  not  yet  occurred.  Accounts 
receivable  are  stated  at  invoice  amounts  and  consist  pri-
marily of amounts due from the DoD and HHS as well as 
amounts  due  under  reimbursement  contracts  with  other 
government  entities  and  non-government  and  philan-
thropic organizations. If necessary, the Company records a 
provision for doubtful receivables to allow for any amounts 
which may be unrecoverable. this provision is based upon 
an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, 
customer  creditworthiness  and  current  economic  trends. 
As of December 31, 2005 and 2006, an allowance for doubt-
ful accounts was not recorded, as the prior collection his-
tory from these customers indicates collection is likely.

Concentrations	of	Credit	risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company 
to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and 
cash  equivalents  and  accounts  receivable.  the  Company 
places  its  cash  and  cash  equivalents  with  high  quality 
financial institutions. Management believes that the finan-
cial risks associated with its cash and cash equivalents are 
minimal. Because accounts receivable consist of amounts 
due  from  the  U.S.  federal  government  for  product  sales 
and from government agencies under government grants, 
management deems there to be minimal credit risk.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with 
cost  being  determined  using  a  standard  cost  method, 
which  approximates  average  cost.  Average  cost  consists 
primarily  of  material,  labor  and  manufacturing  overhead 
expenses and includes the services and products of third 
party suppliers. the Company analyzes its inventory levels 
quarterly and writes down, in the applicable period, inven-
tory  that  has  become  obsolete,  inventory  that  has  a  cost 
basis  in  excess  of  its  expected  net  realizable  value  and 
inventory  in  excess  of  expected  customer  demand.  the 
Company also writes off in the applicable period the costs 
related to expired inventory.

Property,	Plant	and	Equipment
Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost. 
Depreciation  is  computed  using  the  straight-line  method 
over the following estimated useful lives:

Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and 
the  related  accumulated  depreciation  are  removed  from 
the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or 
charged to operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are 
expensed as incurred.

Under the provisions of the Statement of Position No. 98-1, 
Accounting  for  the  Costs  of  Computer  Software  Developed 
or  Obtained  for  Internal  Use,  the  Company  capitalizes 
costs associated with software developed or obtained for 
internal  use  when  the  preliminary  project  stage  is  com-
pleted.  Capitalized  costs  include  only:  (1)  external  direct 
costs  of  materials  and  services  consumed  in  developing 
or obtaining internal use software and (2) payroll and pay-
roll-related costs for employees who are directly associ-
ated with and who devote time to the internal use software 
project  during  the  development  stage.  Capitalization  of 
such  costs  ceases  before  training  and  other  post  imple-
mentation  software  activities  occur.  Computer  software 
maintenance  costs  related  to  software  development  are 
expensed as incurred.

Income	Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future 
tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between 
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and 
liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss 
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are mea-
sured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable 
income in the year in which those temporary differences are 
expected to be recovered or settled.

the  Company  records  valuation  allowances  to  reduce 
deferred  tax  assets  to  the  amounts  that  more  likely  than 
not will be realized. the Company considers future taxable 
income  and  ongoing  tax  planning  strategies  in  assess-
ing  the  need  for  valuation  allowances.  In  general,  if  the 
Company determines that it is able to realize more than the 
recorded amounts of net deferred tax assets in the future, 
net income will increase in the period in which the deter-
mination  is  made.  likewise,  if  the  Company  determines 
that it is not able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax 
asset in the future, net income will decrease in the period 
in which the determination is made. the Company applies 
any reversals of valuation allowance related to an acquired 
deferred tax asset against other intangibles before impact-
ing net income.

Under sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, 
if an ownership change occurs with respect to a “loss cor-
poration”, as defined, there are annual limitations on the 
amount  of  net  operating  losses  and  deductions  that  are

available.  Due  to  the  acquisition  of  Microscience  in  2005 
and  the  Company’s  initial  public  offering,  the  Company 
believes  the  use  of  the  operating  losses  will  be  signifi-
cantly limited.

pretation  is  applicable  to  the  Company’s  contracts  with 
HHS, but because the Company recognizes revenue upon 
delivery of product to HHS, the Company has not applied 
this guidance.

the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends 
upon future taxable income as well as the limitations dis-
cussed above. For financial reporting purposes, a deferred 
tax asset must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is 
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred 
tax assets will not be realized prior to expiration.

revenue	recognition
the  Company  recognizes  revenues  from  product  sales  in 
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue 
Recognition (SAB No. 104). SAB No. 104 requires recogni-
tion of revenues from product sales that require no continu-
ing performance by the Company if four basic criteria have 
been met:

•   there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;
•   delivery  has  occurred  and  title  has  passed  to  the 

Company’s customer;

•   the fee is fixed and determinable and no further obliga-

tion exists; and

•   collectibility is reasonably assured.

All revenues from product sales are recorded net of appli-
cable allowances for sales returns, rebates, special pro-
motional  programs,  and  discounts.  For  arrangements 
where  the  risk  of  loss  has  not  passed  to  the  customer, 
the Company defers the recognition of revenue until such 
time that risk of loss has passed. Also, the cost of revenue 
associated  with  amounts  recorded  as  deferred  revenue  
is  recorded  in  inventory  until  such  time  as  risk  of  loss  
has passed.

Under  the  Company’s  contract  with  the  DoD,  title  to  the 
product  passes  to  the  DoD  upon  submission  of  the  first 
invoice.  the  earnings  process  is  complete  upon  FDA 
release of the product for sale and distribution. Following 
FDA release of the product, the product is segregated for 
later  shipment,  and  all  deferred  revenue  related  to  the 
released product is recognized in accordance with the “bill 
and hold” requirements under SAB 104.

In  December  2005, 
the  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission  released  an  interpretation  with  respect  to 
the  accounting  for  sales  of  vaccines  and  bioterror  coun-
termeasures to the federal government for placement into 
the SNS. this interpretation provides for revenue recogni-
tion  for  specifically  identified  products  purchased  for  the 
SNS in the event that all requirements for revenue recog-
nition,  as  specified  in  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting 
Concepts No. 5, Recognition and Measurement in Financial 
Statements of Business Enterprises, are not met. this inter-

Collaborative  research  and  development  agreements  can 
provide  for  one  or  more  up-front  license  fees,  research 
payments,  and  milestone  payments.  Agreements  with 
multiple components (“deliverables” or “items”) are evalu-
ated in accordance with Emerging Issues task Force (EItF) 
Issue  No.  00-21,  Accounting  for  Revenue  Arrangements 
with Multiple Deliverables (EItF No. 00-21), to determine if 
the deliverables can be divided into more than one unit of 
accounting. An item can generally be considered a sepa-
rate  unit  of  accounting  if  all  of  the  following  criteria  are 
met:  (1)  the  delivered  item(s)  has  value  to  the  customer 
on a stand-alone basis; (2) there is objective and reliable 
evidence  of  the  fair  value  of  the  undelivered  item(s);  and 
(3)  if  the  arrangement  includes  a  general  right  of  return 
relative  to  the  delivered  item(s),  delivery  or  performance 
of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and sub-
stantially in control of the Company. Items that cannot be 
divided into separate units are combined with other units 
of  accounting,  as  appropriate.  Consideration  received  is 
allocated among the separate units based on their respec-
tive fair values or based on the residual value method and 
is recognized in full when the criteria in the discussion of 
SAB No. 104 above are met. the Company deems service 
to have been rendered if no continuing obligation exists on 
the part of the Company.

Revenue  associated  with  non-refundable  up-front  license 
fees  under  arrangements  where  the  license  fees  and 
research and development activities cannot be accounted for 
as separate units of accounting is deferred and recognized 
as revenue on a straight-line basis over the expected term 
of  the  Company’s  continued  involvement  in  the  research 
and development process. Revenues from the achievement 
of  research  and  development  milestones,  if  deemed  sub-
stantive,  are  recognized  as  revenue  when  the  milestones 
are achieved, and the milestone payments are due and col-
lectible. If not deemed substantive, the Company would rec-
ognize such milestone as revenue on a straight-line basis 
over the remaining expected term of continued involvement 
in  the  research  and  development  process.  Milestones  are 
considered substantive if all of the following conditions are 
met; (1) the milestone is non-refundable; (2) achievement 
of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the incep-
tion of the arrangement; (3) substantive effort is involved to 
achieve the milestone; and (4) the amount of the milestone 
appears reasonable in relation to the effort expended, the 
other milestones in the arrangement and the related risk 
associated with the achievement of the milestone and any

ongoing  research  and  development  or  other  services  are 
priced at fair value. Payments received in advance of work 
performed are recorded as deferred revenue.

Payments received by the Company for the reimbursement 
of  expenses  for  research  and  development  activities  are 
recorded in accordance with EItF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting 
Revenue Gross as Principal Versus Net as an Agent (EItF No. 
99-19). Pursuant to EItF No. 99-19, for transactions in which 
the  Company  acts  as  principal,  with  discretion  to  choose 
suppliers, bears credit risk and performs a substantive part 
of  the  services,  revenue  is  recorded  at  the  gross  amount 
of  the  reimbursement.  Costs  associated  with  these  reim-
bursements are reflected as a component of research and 
development expenses.

Impairment	of	Long-Lived	Assets
In  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting 
Standards  No.  144,  Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or 
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), the Company 
assesses  the  recoverability  of  its  long-lived  assets  by 
determining whether the carrying value of such assets can 
be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash 
flows.  If  an  impairment  is  indicated,  the  Company  mea-
sures  the  amount  of  such  impairment  by  comparing  the 
fair value to the carrying value. the Company has recorded 
no  impairment  losses  for  the  years  ended  December  31, 
2004, 2005 and 2006.

research	and	Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. 
Research and development costs primarily consist of sala-
ries, materials and related expenses for personnel and facil-
ity  expenses.  Other  research  and  development  expenses 
include fees paid to consultants and outside service provid-
ers  and  the  costs  of  materials  used  in  clinical  trials  and 
research and development.

Purchased	In-process	research	and	Development
the Company accounts for purchased in-process research 
and  development  in  accordance  with  the  Statement  of 
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  2,  Accounting  for 
Research  and  Development  Costs  (SFAS  No.  2)  along  with 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation 
No.  4,  Applicability  of  FASB  Statement  No.  2  to  Business 
Combinations  Accounted  for  by  the  Purchase  Method—an 
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 2 (FIN 4). Under these 
standards, the Company is required to determine whether 
the technology relating to a particular research and devel-
opment  project  acquired  through  an  acquisition  has  an 
alternative future use. If the determination is that the tech-
nology has no alternative future use, the acquisition amount 
assigned to assets to be used in the particular research and 
development project is expensed. Otherwise, the Company 

capitalizes and amortizes the costs incurred over their esti-
mated useful lives of the technology acquired.

Comprehensive	Income
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  130, 
Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS No. 130), requires 
the presentation of the comprehensive income and its com-
ponents as part of the financial statements. Comprehensive 
income is comprised of net income and other changes in 
equity  that  are  excluded  from  net  income.  the  Company 
includes  gains  and  losses  on  intercompany  transac-
tions  with  foreign  subsidiaries  that  are  considered  to  be 
long-term  investments  and  translation  gains  and  losses 
incurred when converting its subsidiaries’ financial state-
ments from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar in 
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Foreign	Currencies
the  local  currency  is  the  functional  currency  for  the 
Company’s  foreign  subsidiaries  and,  as  such,  assets  and 
liabilities  are  translated  into  U.S.  dollars  at  year-end 
exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated 
at  average  exchange  rates  during  the  year.  translation 
adjustments  resulting  from  this  process  are  charged  or 
credited to other comprehensive income (loss).

Capitalized	Interest
the  Company  capitalizes  interest  based  on  the  cost  of 
major  ongoing  capital  projects  which  have  not  yet  been 
placed in service. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 
2005 and 2006, the Company capitalized $0, $0 and $759 of 
interest, respectively.

Certain	risks	and	Uncertainties
the  Company  has  derived  substantially  all  of  its  revenue 
from sales of Biothrax under contracts with the DoD and 
HHS.  the  Company’s  ongoing  U.S.  government  contracts 
do not necessarily increase the likelihood that it will secure 
future  comparable  contracts  with  the  U.S.  government. 
the Company expects that a significant portion of the busi-
ness  that  it  will  seek  in  the  near  future,  in  particular  for 
Biothrax,  will  be  under  government  contracts  that  pres-
ent a number of risks that are not typically present in the 
commercial  contracting  process.  U.S.  government  con-
tracts for Biothrax require annual funding decisions by the 
government  and  are  subject  to  unilateral  termination  or 
modification by the government. the Company may fail to 
achieve significant sales of Biothrax to customers in addi-
tion to the U.S. government, which would harm its growth 
opportunities. the Company may not be able to sustain or 
increase profitability. the Company is spending significant 
amounts for the expansion of its manufacturing facilities. 
the  Company  may  not  be  able  to  manufacture  Biothrax 
consistently in accordance with FDA specifications. Other

than Biothrax, all of the Company’s product candidates are undergoing clinical trials or are in early stages of develop-
ment, and failure is common and can occur at any stage of development. None of the Company’s product candidates other 
than Biothrax has received regulatory approval.

Earnings	Per	Share
Basic net income per share of common stock excludes dilution for potential common stock issuances and is computed by 
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share 
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or 
converted into common stock.

the following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

For  the  years  ending  December  31,  2004,  2005  and  2006, 
outstanding  stock  options  to  purchase  approximately  0, 
21,000 and 160,000 shares, respectively, of common stock 
are not considered in the diluted earnings per share calcu-
lation because the exercise price of these options is greater 
than the average per share closing price during the year.

the Company has taken into consideration the disclosure 
required by the Participating Securities and the two-Class 
Method under FASB Statement No. 128 (EItF No. 03-6).

Accounting	for	Stock-based	Compensation
As of December 31, 2006, the Company has two stock-based 
employee compensation plans, the Emergent BioSolutions 
Inc.  2006  Stock  Incentive  Plan  (the  2006  Plan)  and  the 
Emergent  BioSolutions  Employee  Stock  Option  Plan  (the 
2004 Plan), described more fully in Note 10—Stockholders’ 
Equity. through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted 
for  grants  under  the  2004  Plan  using  the  intrinsic  value 
method  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Accounting 
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock 
Issued to Employees (APB No. 25) and has provided the pro 
forma disclosures of net income and net income per share 
in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation (SFAS No. 123) as amended by SFAS No. 148, 
Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation-Transition  and 
Disclosures using the fair value method. Under APB No. 25, 
compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on 
the date of the grant between the fair value of the Company’s 
stock and the exercise price of the option and is recognized 
ratably over the vesting period of the option. the Company 

accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in 
accordance  with  SFAS  No.  123  and  EItF  Issue  No.  96-18, 
Accounting  for  Equity  Instruments  That  Are  Issued  to  Other 
Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling 
Goods or Services, (EItF No. 96-18).

Effective  January  1,  2006,  the  Company  adopted  the  fair 
value provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based 
Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), using the modified prospective 
method. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 
No. 123(R), the Company recognizes stock-based compen-
sation net of an estimated forfeiture rate.

Under  the  modified  prospective  method,  compensation 
cost  recognized  in  2006  includes:  (1)  compensation  cost 
for all share-based payments granted prior to but not yet 
vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date 
fair value estimated in accordance with the original provi-
sions  of  SFAS  No.  123,  and  (2)  compensation  cost  for  all 
share-based payments granted and vested subsequent to 
December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value esti-
mated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). 
As  a  result  of  adopting  SFAS  No.  123(R)  on  January  1, 
2006, the Company’s income before income taxes and net 
income for the year ended December 31, 2006 are approx-
imately  $723  and  $470  lower,  respectively,  than  if  it  had 
continued to account for share-based compensation under 
APB No. 25.

Both basic and diluted income per share for the year ended 
December  31,  2006  are  $0.02  lower  than  if  the  Company 
had  continued  to  account  for  share-based  compensation

under APB No. 25. Results for prior periods have not been 
restated.  Based  on  options  granted  to  employees  as  of 
December  31,  2006,  total  compensation  expense  not  yet 
recognized  related  to  unvested  options  is  approximately 
$3,119, after tax. the Company expects to recognize that 
expense over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.

the  Company  has  utilized  the  Black-Scholes  valuation 
model  for  estimating  the  fair  value  of  all  stock  options 
granted. the fair value of each option is estimated on the 
date  of  grant.  Set  forth  below  are  the  weighted-average 
assumptions used in valuing the stock options granted and 
a discussion of the Company’s methodology for developing 
each of the assumptions used:

•   Expected dividend yield—the Company does not pay reg-
ular dividends on its common stock and does not antici-
pate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

•   Expected  volatility—Volatility  is  a  measure  of  the 
amount  by  which  a  financial  variable,  such  as  share 

price, has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected 
to  fluctuate  (expected  volatility)  during  a  period.  the 
Company  analyzed  the  expected  historical  volatility 
used by similar companies at a similar stage of devel-
opment  to  estimate  expected  volatility.  the  volatility 
used by these similar companies ranged from 33% to 
79%, with an average estimated volatility of 53%.

•   Risk-free  interest  rate—this  is  the  average  U.S. 
treasury rate with a term that most closely resembles 
the expected life of the option for the quarter in which 
the option was granted.

•   Expected average life of options—this is the period of 
time that the options granted are expected to remain 
outstanding.  this  estimate  is  based  primarily  on  the 
employee  position  profile  of  option  holders  and  the 
trading lock out periods that result from the employ-
ees access to stock price sensitive information.

Prior  to  the  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  123(R),  the  Company 
presented  all  tax  benefits  of  deductions  resulting  from 
the  exercise  of  stock  options  as  operating  cash  flows  in 
the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the 
cash  flows  resulting  from  the  tax  benefits  of  deductions 
in  excess  of  the  compensation  cost  recognized  for  those 
options  (excess  tax  benefits)  to  be  classified  as  financing 
cash flows.

the following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value 
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the years ended December 31, 2004 
and 2005.

recent	Accounting	Pronouncements
In  June  2006,  the  FASB  issued  FASB  Interpretation  48, 
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation 
of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 
48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income 
taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and mea-
surement attribute for the financial statement recognition 
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be 
taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company rec-
ognize in its financial statements, the impact of a tax posi-
tion, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained 
on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 
48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, 
interest  and  penalties,  accounting  in  interim  periods  and 
disclosure. the provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal 
years beginning after December 15, 2006.

the Company will adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as 
required. the cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be 
recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings 
and other accounts as applicable. Although the Company 
has not made a final determination of the effect the adop-
tion of FIN 48 will have on the Company’s financial position 
and results of operations, it is expected that the cumulative 
adjustment  to  retained  earnings  will  not  have  a  material 
effect on its financial statements. the adoption of FIN 48 
will impact the amount of, and balance sheet classification 
of, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and other accounts 
as applicable, and result in greater volatility in the effective 
tax rate.

In  February  2007,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  No.  159, 
The  Fair  Value  Option  for  Financial  Assets  and  Financial 
Liabilities—Including  an  Amendment  of  FASB  Statement 
No. 115 (SFAS  No.  159).  SFAS  No.  159  permits  entities  to 
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain 
other items at fair value. the objective is to improve finan-
cial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to 
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measur-
ing related assets and liabilities differently without having 
to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. the provi-
sions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for fiscal years begin-
ning  after  November  15,  2007.  the  Company  has  not  yet 
determined the impact of adoption of this statement on its 
financial statements.

In  September  2006,  the  SEC  issued  Staff  Accounting 
Bulletin,  or  SAB,  No.  108,  Considering  the  Effects  of  Prior 
Year  Misstatements  when  Quantifying  Misstatements  in 
Current  Year  Financial  Statements  (SAB  108).  SAB  108 
requires that registrants quantify errors using both a bal-

ance  sheet  and  statement  of  operations  approach  and

amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative 
factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 became effec-
tive  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2006.  the  Company  has 
determined that adoption of this statement had no impact 
on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair 
Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines 
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value 
in  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  expands 
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 
emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, 
not an entity-specific measurement. therefore, a fair value 
measurement should be determined based on the assump-
tions that market participants would use in pricing the asset 
or liability. the provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for 
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim 
periods within those fiscal years. the Company has not yet 
determined the impact of adoption of this statement on its 
financial statements.

vivacs	GmbH
On  July  13,  2006,  Emergent  International,  Inc.,  a  wholly 
owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware 
(EII), completed the acquisition of ViVacs GmbH, a German 
limited liability company (ViVacs) to expand the Company’s 
commercial vaccine portfolio, pursuant to the terms and con-
ditions of the Share Purchase and Assignment Agreement 
dated July 13, 2006 by and between EII and ViVacs. EII paid 
$150  in  cash  on  the  closing  date  of  the  agreement  and 
agreed to pay $50 on each of the first and second anniver-
saries of the closing date. the acquisition agreement also 
provides  for  a  potential  variable  earn-out  purchase  price 
of  up  to  $220,  based  on  future  payments  from  third  party 
licensees of the technology. As of December 31, 2006, the 
Company  has  not  received  any  such  payments  from  third 
party licensees. Because ViVacs was a development stage 
company  and  had  not  commenced  its  planned  principal 
operations, the transaction was accounted for as an acqui-
sition of assets rather than as a business combination and, 
therefore, goodwill was not recorded.

Microscience	Limited
On June 23, 2005, Emergent Europe, Inc., a wholly owned 
subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware (EEI), 
completed the acquisition of Microscience pursuant to the 
terms  and  conditions  of  the  Share  Exchange  Agreement 
dated June 23, 2005 by and between EEI and Microscience

rated in England. At the closing date, the Company, through 
EEI, issued Microscience shareholders 3,636,801 shares of 
the Company’s Class A Common Stock in exchange for all 
of the outstanding stock of Microscience. Shares of Class 
A Common Stock of the Company were valued for financial 
statement purposes at $7.42 per share based on a determi-
nation of the estimated fair value by the Company’s board of 
directors. Because Microscience was a development stage 
company  and  had  not  commenced  its  planned  principal

In August 2006, the Company entered into a term loan for 
$10,000  and  a  revolving  credit  loan  that  provides  for  bor-
rowings  up  to  $5,000.  Under  the  term  loan,  the  Company 
is  required  to  make  monthly  principal  payments  begin-
ning in April 2007. A residual principal payment of approxi-
mately $5,600 is due upon maturity in August 2011. At the 
Company’s  request,  the  term  loan  is  subject  to  an  exten-
sion term at the sole discretion of the lender for five addi-
tional years until August 2016 for an extension fee of 1.00% 
of the principal balance of the loan. If the term of the loan 
were extended, the Company would be required to continue 
to  make  monthly  principal  payments  through  maturity  in 
August 2016 in lieu of the residual principal payment oth-
erwise due in August 2011. Interest is payable monthly and 
accrues at an annual rate equal to lIBOR plus 3.75% (9.11% 
as of December 31, 2006).

Under  the  revolving  credit  loan,  the  Company  is  not 
required to repay outstanding principal until October 2007.  
In  October  2007,  the  outstanding  principal  under  the 
revolving  credit  loan  will  convert  to  a  term  loan  with 
required  monthly  principal  payments  through  maturity 
in August 2011. Interest is payable monthly and accrues 

at  an  annual  rate  equal  to  lIBOR  plus  3.75%  (9.11%  as 

of December 31, 2006). the Company also is required to 

pay a fee on a quarterly basis equal to 0.50% of the aver-

age daily difference between $5,000 and the amount out-

standing under the revolving credit loan.

the term loan and revolving credit loan are secured by sub-

stantially all of  Emergent BioDefense Operations’ assets, 

other than accounts receivable under Biothrax supply con-

tracts with the DoD and HHS. the Company is required to 

maintain on an annual basis a minimum tangible net worth 

of not less than the sum of 85% of tangible net worth for 

the most recently completed fiscal year plus 25% of current 

net operating profit after taxes. In addition, the Company is 

required to maintain on a quarterly basis a ratio of earn-

ings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization 

for  the  most  recent  four  quarters  to  the  sum  of  current 

obligations under capital leases and principal obligations 

and  interest  expenses  for  borrowed  money,  in  each  case 

due and payable for the following four quarters, of not less 

than 1.25 to 1.00. the Company is in compliance with these 

covenants as of December 31, 2006.

In  April  2006,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of 
a  145,000  square  foot  facility  in  Frederick,  Maryland  for 
$9,750.  this  facility  was  previously  under  a  lease  which 
contained an option to purchase the facility. the Company 
paid  $1,250  in  cash  and  financed  the  remaining  balance 
with a bank loan in the amount of $8,500. this loan requires 
monthly  principal  and  interest  payments  from  May  2006 
through  April  2011  of  $72  with  a  balloon  payment  for  the 
remaining unpaid principal and interest due in April 2011. 
the interest rate is a floating rate based on the three month 
lIBOR plus 3% (8.36% as of December 31, 2006). the loan 
is  collateralized  by  the  facility.  the  loan  requires  the 
Company to comply with certain non-financial covenants. 
the Company is in compliance with these covenants as of 
December 31, 2006.

In  October  2004,  the  Company  entered  into  a  Secured 
Conditional loan with the Maryland Economic Development 
Assistance Fund for $2,500. the proceeds of the loan were 
used to reimburse the Company for eligible costs it incurred 
to purchase a building in Frederick, Maryland. the loan is 
secured by a $1,250 letter of credit and a security interest in 
the building. the Company is required to pay an annual fee 
of 1% to maintain the letter of credit. the borrowing bears 
interest at 3% per annum, and the term of the loan ends 
March 31, 2013. the principal and related accrued interest 
may be forgiven if specified employment levels are achieved 
and maintained through December 2012, at least $42,900 in 
project costs are expended prior to December 2009, and the 
Company  occupies  the  building  through  December  2012.  
For the loan to be forgiven, the Company must employ at 
least 280 full-time employees at the Company’s facilities in 
Frederick, Maryland as of December 31, 2009 and maintain 
at  least  280  full-time  employees  through  December  31,  
2012. If as of December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 or 2012 the 
Company employs fewer than 280 and more than 225 full-
time  employees  at  the  Company’s  facilities  in  Frederick, 
Maryland, then the Company will be required to repay $9 of 
principal plus accrued interest for each position not filled 
below the target level of 280 employees. If as of December 31,  
2009, 2010, 2011 or 2012 the Company employs fewer than 
225  full-time  employees  at  the  Company’s  facilities  in 
Frederick, Maryland, then the Company will be required to 
repay the entire outstanding principal amount of the loan 
plus accrued interest. this loan is guaranteed by all of the 
subsidiaries of the Company.

In  connection  with  the  2004  purchase  of  the  first  build-
ing in Frederick, Maryland discussed above, the Company 
entered  into  a  loan  agreement  for  $7,000  with  a  bank  to 
finance  the  remaining  portion  of  the  purchase  price.  the 
borrowing accrued interest at 6.625% per annum through 
October 2006. the Company was required to make interest 

only payments through that date. Beginning in November 
2006,  the  Company  began  to  make  monthly  payments 
of  $62,  based  upon  a  15  year  amortization  schedule.  In 
November  2009,  the  monthly  payments  will  be  adjusted 
based  upon  a  12  year  amortization  schedule.  Beginning 
in  November  2009,  the  loan  will  bear  interest  at  a  fixed 
rate  equal  to  3.2%  over  the  yield  on  actively  traded  U.S. 
Government securities issues adjusted to a constant matu-
rity of two years, rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of 
one  percent  (1/8  of  1%).  All  unpaid  principal  and  interest 
is  due  in  full  in  October  2011.  the  Company  is  required 
to  maintain  certain  financial  and  non-financial  covenants 
including  a  minimum  tangible  net  worth  of  not  less  than 
$5,000 and a debt coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1. 
the Company is in compliance with these covenants as of 
December  31,  2006.  this  loan  is  guaranteed  by  all  of  the 
subsidiaries of the Company.

During  2004,  the  Company  implemented  an  Enterprise 
Resource  Planning  (ERP)  system.  the  Company  financed 
$2,280  of  the  costs  through  the  issuance  of  a  term  loan. 
the loan bears interest at prime less 0.375% (7.88% as of 
December 31, 2006) and is due in September 2007. Monthly 
payments  escalate  from  $40  to  $106  over  the  term.  the 
ERP system provides security for the loan.

In  2004,  the  Company  issued  notes  as  consideration  for 
the  repurchase  of  outstanding  class  B  common  stock  of 
BioPort.  these  notes  were  issued  to  various  current  and 
past employees who were issued equity as a result of ear-
lier stock option exercises. Amounts are payable in annual 
installments, through 2007, and bear interest at 6%.

Scheduled  principal  repayments  and  maturities  on  long-
term debt as of December 31, 2006 are as follows:

9.	 LINE	OF	CrEDIT
On  April  1,  2005,  the  Company,  through  Emergent 
BioDefense Operations, formerly BioPort, obtained a line 
of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $10,000. the 
line of credit is scheduled to expire on May 15, 2007. the 
line of credit is secured by accounts receivable under the 
Company’s  DOD  and  HHS  contracts  and  bears  interest 
at  the  prime  rate  less  0.375%  (7.88%  as  of  December  31,  
2006).  Emergent  BioDefense  Operations  is  subjected  to 
certain  covenants,  including  maintenance  of  specified 
equity  levels  on  a  quarterly  basis.  Emergent  BioDefense

Operations  is  currently  in  compliance  with  those  cove-
nants. A total of $8,930 was outstanding under this line of 
credit as of December 31, 2006. this amount was repaid in 
January 2007. No borrowings were outstanding under this 
line of credit as of December 31, 2005.

10.	 STOCKHOLDErS’	EqUITY	

Preferred	Stock
the Company is authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares 
of  preferred  stock,  $0.001  par  value  per  share  (Preferred 
Stock). Any preferred stock issued may have dividend rates, 
voting rights, conversion privileges, redemption character-
istics,  and  sinking  fund  requirements  as  approved  by  the 
Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2006, no 
preferred stock has been issued.

Common	Stock
the Company currently has one class of $0.001 par value 
per  share  common  stock  (Common  Stock)  authorized 
and outstanding. the Company is authorized to issue up 
to 100,000,000 shares of the Common Stock. Holders of 
Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of 
Common  Stock  held  on  all  matters  as  may  be  provided 
by law.

On November 14, 2006, the Company completed its initial 
public  offering,  or  IPO,  which  resulted  in  the  issuance  of 
5,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $12.50 per 
share for gross proceeds of $62,500. Issuance costs related 
to the offering were $8,271, resulting in net proceeds from 
the offering of $54,229. In conjunction with the completion 
of the IPO, all outstanding shares of Class A and Class B 
common  stock  were  converted  into  22,420,421  shares  of 
$0.001 Common Stock at a conversion rate of one share of 
common stock for one share of Class A and Class B com-
mon stock.

On  September  20,  2006,  the  Company’s  board  of  direc-
tors recommended to the stockholders of the Company an 
amendment of the Company’s amended and restated cer-
tificate of incorporation, which the stockholders approved 
on October 27, 2006, that, among other things, reclassifies 
the Class A Common Stock as $0.001 par value per share 
Common Stock, increases the number of authorized shares 
of Common Stock to 100,000,000 shares and adjusts the par 
value of the Preferred Stock from $0.01 par value per share 
to  $0.001  par  value  per  share.  the  amendment  became 
effective on October 27, 2006. On September 20, 2006, the 
Company’s  board  of  directors  also  authorized  the  pricing 
committee of the board of directors to effect a stock split of 
both the Common Stock, in the form of a dividend of shares 
of Common Stock, and the Class B Common Stock, in the 

form of a dividend of shares of Class B Common Stock. the 
pricing committee subsequently declared a 2.8771-for-one 
stock split of the Common Stock and the Class B Common 
Stock effective as of October 27, 2006. the par values, the 
number of authorized shares and all share and per share 
amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  have 
been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the filing of the 
certificate of amendment of the Company’s amended and 
restated  certificate  of  incorporation  and  the  stock  split. 
the  consolidated  financial  statements  do  not  reflect  the 
reclassification of the Class A Common Stock as Common 
Stock, other than the related adjustment to par value and 
the increase in the number of authorized shares.

Holders  of  Common  Stock  are  entitled  to  receive  ratably 
dividends payable as and when declared by the Company’s 
board of directors. On June 15, 2005, the Company’s board 
of directors declared a special cash dividend to the holders 
of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class 
B Common Stock in an aggregate amount of $5,400. the 
Company’s board of directors declared this special dividend 
in order to distribute the net proceeds of a payment received 
as a result of the settlement of litigation initiated in 2002 by 
the  Company  against  Elan  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.,  Athena 
Neurosciences, Inc. and Solstice Neurosciences, Inc. in an 
effort  to  clarify  intellectual  property  rights,  including  the 
recovery of royalties and other costs and fees, to which the 
Company believed it was entitled under a series of agree-
ments regarding the development of botulinum toxin prod-
ucts. the Company paid the special cash dividend on July 13,  
2005 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2005. No reg-
ular dividends have been declared or paid.

In  June  2004,  in  connection  with  the  Reorganization,  the 
Company  issued  18,666,479  shares  of  Class  A  Common 
Stock  in  exchange  for  18,017,994  shares  of  BioPort  Class 
A  Common  Stock  and  648,485  shares  of  BioPort  Class  B 
Common  Stock  held  by  BioPharm,  l.l.C.  the  Company 
repurchased  and  retired  the  remaining  issued  and  out-
standing  shares  of  BioPort  Class  B  Common  Stock  from 
former  employees.  Approximately  544,000  BioPort  shares 
were  repurchased  at  $2.74  per  share  and  approximately 
28,000 BioPort shares were repurchased at $4.12 per share. 
Shares  were  repurchased  for  $665  in  cash  and  the  issu-
ance of $947 in notes payable. See Note 8—long-term debt 
and related party notes payable, for additional information 
related to the former employee notes payable.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2005,  the  Company 
repurchased  112,168  shares  of  Class  B  Common  Stock 
with an original weighted average cost of $0.26 per share, 
for $337.

Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

Stock	Options
As of December 31, 2006, the Company has two stock-based 
employee compensation plans, the 2006 Plan and the 2004 
Plan, under which the Company has granted options to pur-
chase shares of Common Stock. the Emergent Plans have 
both incentive and non-qualified stock option features.

Prior to the Reorganization, BioPort had a separate stock 
option plan (BioPort plan) under which options were granted 
to purchase BioPort Class B Common Stock. the exercise 
price and vesting schedule for options were determined by 
BioPort’s board of directors, or a committee thereof, which 
was established to administer the BioPort plan options.

the  Company  established  the  2006  Plan  in  connection 
with  its  initial  public  offering  in  November  2006.  Under 
the 2006 Plan, the Company may grant options for a total 
of  503,500  shares  of  Common  Stock,  plus  the  number  of 
shares  of  Common  Stock  reserved  for  issuance  under 
the  2004  Plan  that  remained  available  for  grant  immedi-
ately  prior  to  the  initial  public  offering  on  November  14, 
2006, of 585,961 shares. Accordingly, the 2006 Plan initially 
authorizes the issuance of up to 1,089,461 shares. In addi-
tion, the 2006 Plan contains an “evergreen provision” that 
allows for increases in the number of shares available for 
issuance under the 2006 Plan in the first and third quar-
ter  of  each  year  from  2007  through  2009.  the  maximum 
number of options that may be granted per year under the 
2006 Plan to a single participant is 287,700. the exercise 
price of each incentive option must be not less than 100% 
of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. 
Options granted under the 2006 Plan have a vesting period 
of  no  more  than  5  years  and  contractual  life  of  no  more 
than 10 years.

In conjunction with the establishment of the 2006 Plan, as 
noted  above,  the  shares  reserved  for  issuance  under  the 
2004 Plan that remained available for grant became avail-
able  for  grant  under  the  2006  Plan.  the  exercise  price  of 
each incentive option granted under the 2004 Plan must be 
not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on 
the date of grant, except in the case of the incentive stock 
option being granted to a 10% stockholder, in which case 
the  exercise  price  must  be  not  less  than  110%  of  the  fair 
market value of the shares on the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2004, options to purchase 1,948,892 shares 
of BioPort Class B Common Stock were outstanding under 
the BioPort plan. Pursuant to the Reorganization, all out-
standing BioPort plan options were assumed by Emergent 
and option holders were granted replacement stock options 
to purchase an equal number of shares of Class B Common 
Stock of Emergent. the exercise period for the replacement 
options was extended to June 30, 2007. the BioPort options 
were scheduled to expire on June 30, 2004.

In  connection  with  the  Reorganization,  the  Company 
recorded  stock-based  compensation  expense  as  a  result 
of  the  issuance  of  the  stock  options  to  purchase  Class  B 
Common Stock. Based upon the guidance in APB No. 25, 
because  the  stock  options  granted  for  Class  B  Common 
Stock provided for an extended term over that of the can-
celled BioPort plan options, a new measurement date was 
created and the Company recorded as stock-based com-
pensation expense the excess of the intrinsic value of the 
modified  options  over  the  intrinsic  value  of  the  BioPort 
plan options when originally issued. this resulted in stock-
based  compensation  expense  of  $4,310,  or  $2,801  net  of 
taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Outside of the Reorganization, options to purchase an addi-
tional 322,235 shares of Class B common stock of Emergent 
under  the  2004  Plan  were  granted  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2004.

the terms and conditions of stock options (including price, 
vesting  schedule,  term  and  number  of  shares)  under  the 
Emergent Plans are determined by the Company’s compen-
sation committee, which administers the Emergent Plans.

Each option granted under the Emergent Plans becomes exercisable as specified in the relevant option agreement, and no 
option can be exercised after ten years from the date of grant. the following is a summary of stock option plan activity:

the estimated effective annual tax rate for the years ended 
December  31,  2005  and  2006  was  25%  and  40%,  respec-
tively. the increase in the estimated rate is due primarily 
to the impact of foreign and state net operating losses and 
an increase in permanent differences, including incentive 
stock options.

the Company is the subject of an ongoing federal income 
tax audit for the tax years ended December 31, 2004 and 
2005. the financial statement impact of the audit has been 
estimated  at  approximately  $760.  this  amount  has  been 
accrued as of December 31, 2006.

12.	 401(K)	SAvINGS	PLAN
the Company has established a defined contribution sav-
ings  plan  under  Section  401(k)  of  the  Internal  Revenue 
Code. the 401(k) Plan covers substantially all employees. 
Under the 401(k) Plan, employees may make elective sal-
ary deferrals. the Company provides for matching of quali-
fied deferrals up to 50% of the first 6% of the employee’s 

salary.  During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2004,  2005 
and  2006,  the  Company  made  matching  contributions  of 
approximately $452, $520 and $573, respectively.

13.	 	COMMITMENTS	AND	SETTLEMENT	GAINS	

Leases
the Company leases laboratory and office facilities, office 
equipment  and  vehicles  under  various  operating  lease 
agreements.  the  Company  leases  office  and  laboratory 
space  in  Gaithersburg,  Maryland  under  a  non-cancelable 
operating lease that contains a 3% annual escalation and 
expires on November 30, 2008.

the  Company  leases  approximately  23,000  square  feet 
of  office  space  in  Rockville,  Maryland  under  a  non-can-
celable operating lease that contains a 3% annual esca-
lation  clause  over  the  ten  year  term  of  the  lease.  the 
Company has a five year renewal option at the end of the 
initial term. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005  
and  2006,  total  rent  expense  was  $1,334,  $2,526  and 
$2,386, respectively.

vendor	Contracts
In accordance with a recently signed research contract, the 
Company is committed to spending a minimum of $100 in 
research  and  development  activities  by  September  2007. 
to date, the Company has incurred minimal expenditures 
under this contract.

Litigation
In June 2002, the Company initiated a lawsuit against Élan 
Pharmaceuticals and related entities in an effort to clarify 
intellectual property rights, including the recovery of roy-
alties  and  other  costs  and  fees,  to  which  the  Company 
believed  it  was  entitled  under  a  set  of  1991  agreements 
and  to  clarify  intellectual  property  rights  associated  with 
those agreements. the Company sought damages, injunc-
tive  relief  and  declaratory  relief.  On  June  27,  2005,  the 
Company  obtained  a  settlement  pursuant  to  which  Élan 
and  related  entities  agreed  to  pay  the  Company  $10,000. 
Payment of such settlement was received by the Company 
in  July  2005.  the  agreement  also  clarified  the  parties’ 
intellectual  property  rights.  Upon  receipt  of  the  settle-
ment  from  Élan  Pharmaceuticals  and  related  entities, 

2006 Annual Report

55

	
	
	
 
the  Company  distributed  a  net  settlement  amount  (total 
proceeds  from  the  settlement  less  reserves  for  appli-
cable  federal  and  state  income  taxes,  legal  expenses 
related  to  the  suit  and  other  miscellaneous  expenses)  
of  $5,400  to  all  Company  stockholders  of  record  as  of 
June 15, 2005.

In  1998,  the  Company  recorded  obligations  related  to  the 
initial  purchase  agreement  of  Michigan  Biologic  Products 
Institute  of  $10,119.  During  2004,  the  Company  settled 
its  entire  remaining  purchase  obligations  to  the  State  of 
Michigan for $6,300, resulting in a gain of $3,819, which is 
reflected as a component of operations on the accompany-
ing statement of operations.

From time to time, the Company is involved in product lia-
bility claims and other litigation considered normal in the 
nature of its business. the Company does not believe that 
any such proceedings would have a material, adverse effect 
on the results of its operations. For claims filed against the 
Company for use of Biothrax by the DoD, we expect to rely 
on contractual indemnification provisions with the DoD and 
statutory protections to limit our potential liability resulting 
from the pending lawsuits.

14.	 rELATED	PArTY	TrANSACTIONS
Simba  llC,  a  Maryland  based  limited  liability  company 
100% owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and 
his wife, provides chartered air transportation. Simba offers 
its services to the Company on a discount from Simba’s nor-
mal  commercial  rate.  For  the  years  ended  December  31,  
2004,  2005  and  2006,  the  Company  paid  approximately 
$32, $34 and $13, respectively, for transportation on an as 
needed basis for business purposes. As of May 2006, this 
arrangement has been terminated.

the  Company  has  entered  into  marketing  and  sales  con-
tracts  with  entities  controlled  by  family  members  of  the 
Chief Executive Officer to market and sell Biothrax in cer-
tain international territories if certain conditions are met. A 
consulting  arrangement  with  the  Chief  Executive  Officer’s 
sister required a payment of 4% of net sales, not to exceed 
$2.00 per dose, under the agreement. A marketing arrange-
ment with an entity affiliated with the Chief Executive Officer 
and his family requires a payment of 40% of gross sales in 
countries in the Middle East and North Africa, except Israel. 
No  royalty  payments  under  these  agreements  have  been 
triggered for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 
2006.  the  arrangement  with  the  Chief  Executive  Officer’s 
sister has been terminated.

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2004,  2005  and  2006, 
the  Company  paid  approximately  $494,  $794  and  $419, 
in  consulting,  lease  and  transportation 
respectively, 
arrangements  with  various  persons  or  entities  affiliated 
with  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  or  two  members  of  the 
board of directors. For the year ended December 31, 2005 
and 2006, there was $22 and $17 respectively, in accounts 
payable for these services. the Company currently has an 
agreement with a director to perform corporate strategic 
issues  consultation  and  directed  project  support  to  the 
marketing and communications group and an agreement 
with East West Resources Corporation, a company owned 
by  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  to  provide  transportation 
and logistical support.

For the period from November 15, 2006 to December 31, 2006, our common stock had a high sales price of $12.72 per 
share and a low sales price of $9.75 per share. As of March 15, 2007, we had 57 holders of record of our common stock.

DIvIDEND	POLICY
We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not 
intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders in the foreseeable future.

On June 15, 2005, our board of directors declared a special cash dividend to the holders of our outstanding shares of com-
mon stock in an aggregate amount of approximately $5.4 million. Our board of directors declared this special dividend in 
order to distribute the net proceeds of a payment that we received as a result of the settlement of litigation that we initiated 
against Elan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Athena Neurosciences, Inc. and Solstice Neurosciences, Inc. We paid the special cash 
dividend on July 13, 2005 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2005. Prior to this special cash dividend, we had never 
declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock.
