Notes to Financial Statements
Year ended March 31, 1996 and
for the Period April 29, 1994 to March 31, 1995
1. Business
Electronic Submission Publishing Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, was founded in April 1994 and is a systems developer and integrator
of comprehensive electronic publishing solutions designed to manage, generate,
publish and distribute high quality regulatory submissions. The Company's
initial concentration has been directed to the pharmaceutical industry.
Revenues of approximately $648,000 were from one customer during the year ended
March 31, 1996. The Company came out of the development stage during the year
ended March 31, 1996.
2. Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect that amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from software licenses upon acceptance by the
customer. Maintenance and service fee income is recognized as income ratably
over the life of the maintenance contracts. Consulting income is recognized as
the services are performed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. The liability
method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on
the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as "temporary
differences."

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which
range from five to seven years.
Capitalized Software Costs
Financial accounting standards provide for the capitalization of certain
software development costs after technological feasibility of the software is
established. No such costs have been capitalized because the impact on the
financial statements would be immaterial.
Reclassification
Certain balances in fiscal year 1995 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with current year presentation.
3. Obligations Under Capital Lease
The Company has entered into agreements to lease certain assets which have been
accounted for as capital leases and are included in property and equipment at
March 31, 1996 and 1995.

4. Capital Stock
The holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to
noncumulative dividends at a rate of $.08 per share prior to any payment of
dividends on common stock.
Each share of preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock,
subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, and has a liquidation preference
of $1.00 per share. Conversion is at the option of the stockholders until such
time, if ever, that the Company consummates a public offering at a designated
price and from which the Company receives proceeds of at least $10,000,000 at
which time such conversion becomes mandatory. The preferred stock has voting
rights equal to its common stock conversion ratio.
Stock Options
During 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan whereby the Company may
grant either incentive or nonqualified stock options to purchase the Company's
common stock. The incentive stock options are to be granted at no less than
fair market value at the date of grant, and the nonqualified stock options are
to be granted at no less than eighty-five percent of the fair market value of
the shares at the date of grant. The fair market value is determined by the
Board of Directors. Twenty-five percent of the option shares are exercisable on
the first anniversary of the date of grant or the participant's hire date,
whichever is earlier. The additional amounts become exercisable at varying
rates from 6.25% to 9.40% on the last day of each quarter thereafter. The
Company has authorized 1,411,400 shares to be issued under the plan. There are
468,400 options available for grant at March 31, 1996. No options were

Profit/(Loss) (241) (178) (63) (2,416) (2,089) (327)
Cash Balance 237 469 (232)
Highlights
This month was spent meeting the demands (installations, regulatory filing
support, training and software upgrades) made by new customers. Revenue of $74k
was ($26k/26%) under Budget and includes $29k of maintenance and $45k of
customer support for Agouron. Absent this month is new software licensing
revenue. Operating expenses totaled $308k and were $31k/11% higher than
expected. Details of spending by department follow. This combination of
revenue shortfall and overspending pushed our loss to $241k ($63k/35%) above
budget.
Our cash position at month end is $237k, $232k or 49% below Plan. Anticipated
investor funding remains $500k below Budget, which more than offsets our cash
short fall.
Balance Sheet
The accounts receivable balance of $487k represents xxxxxxxx to AMI; for $334k,
two years maintenance, Agouron; for $45k customer support and Dura; for $108k a
50% advance on our software license. Other current assets now include $40k of
Versant licenses held as inventory and $11k of prepaid Versant maintenance.
Equity funding has been replaced with bridge loans of $1.5 million, $500k short
of Plan. All Company assets are currently pledged for these bridge loans which
has prevented us from using our equipment leasing line of credit. Our payables
and accrued expense position are higher than expected due to the inclusion of
the Versant invoice, for royalties, maintenance and license inventory totaling
$93k. Deferred revenue, both current and long term is composed of $335k for
licensing (RPR; $135k, DuPont Merck; $100k and Dura; $100k) and $664k for
maintenance (AMI; $356k, Xxxxxxx; $80k, Agouron; $23k, RPR; $165k and DuPont
Merck $40k).
Statement of Operations
Revenue:
2
Revenue for the month of $74k ($29k, maintenance and $45k, customer support) is
$26k or 26% below budget. Expected pilot revenue (software licensing) of $60k
did not materialize. Management is making every effort to maximize this year's
revenue by expediting installations and acceptances for those customer's where
it is possible. Our deferred revenue position of $999k speaks well for the
future.
Expenses:
Cost of revenue of $1k represents the amortization of prepaid Versant
maintenance. Budgeted, was the monthly write-off of capitalized development
costs that has been discounted due to immateriality.
Our Research & Development costs for the month were $91k, $12k over budget, all
of which can be associated with excess depreciation. This excess is almost
completely offset by a similar savings in G & A.
Regulatory departmental costs were $43k for the month. This level of spending
is $29k higher than planned and due primarily to travel and payroll overruns.
Excess travel costs of $13k are expected to continue, as Regulatory personnel
support our customers base. The excess payroll of $11k is offset with similar
savings in the Quality Assurance and G & A Departments (budgeted staff have been
reassigned to Regulatory).
Quality Assurance spending was $28k for the month, a $16k or 36% savings. These
savings are due to assigning budgeted employees to other departments and reduced
staff levels.
G&A spending of $94k is right on budget.
Marketing & Sales costs of $50k for the month were $20k or 67% over budget.
Most of the overspending is the result of higher than expected payroll costs.
Cash Flow
Our cash position at month end was $234k, which is $232k below Plan. This cash
short fall can be directly linked to the remaining $500k of budgeted investor
funding which has yet to take place. Cash provided by operations for the month
was $5k but $264k higher than expected. This excess is directly related to the
increases in our deferred revenue position caused by Dura and AMI cash advances.
