NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Bioenvision, Inc. is a product-focused biopharmaceutical company with two
approved cancer therapeutics. On December 29, 2004, the FDA approved our lead
cancer product, clofarabine, for the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic
leukemia, or ALL, in patients who have received two or more prior regimens.
Clofarabine has received Orphan Drug designation in the U.S. and the European
Union. Genzyme Corporation, the Company's co-development partner, currently
holds marketing rights in the U.S. and Canada for clofarabine for certain cancer
indications and controls U.S. development of clofarabine in these indications.
Genzyme is selling clofarabine under the brand name Clolar in the U.S. In
Europe, the Company has filed for approval of clofarabine in pediatric ALL with
the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, or EMeA.
The Company is currently selling its anti-cancer drug, Modrenal(R), in the
United Kingdom. Modrenal(R) is approved in the U.K. for the treatment of
post-menopausal advanced breast cancer following relapse to initial hormone
therapy.
We anticipate that revenues derived from our two lead drugs, clofarabine and
Modrenal(R) will permit us to further develop the other products currently in
our pipeline. In addition to clofarabine and Modrenal(R), we are performing
initial development work on BIOV-401 (Virostat) for the treatment of chronic
Hepatitis C.
Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 "Revenue Recognition",
or SAB 104, upfront nonrefundable fees associated with research and development
collaboration agreements in which the Company has continuing involvement in the
agreement, are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the estimated
research and development period using the straight-line method. If the estimated
period is subsequently modified, the period over which the up-front fee is
recognized is modified accordingly on a prospective basis using the
straight-line method. Continuation of certain contracts and grants are dependent
upon the Company and/or its co-development partners' achieving specific
contractual milestones; however, none of the payments received to date are
refundable regardless of the outcome of the project. Upfront nonrefundable fees
associated with licensing arrangements are recorded as deferred revenue and
recognized over the period of the licensing arrangement using the straight line
method, which approximates the life of the patent.
Royalty revenue from product licensees is recorded as earned.
The Company currently sells its products to wholesale distributors and directly
to hospitals, clinics, and retail pharmacies. Revenue from product sales is
recognized when the risk of loss is passed to the customer, the sales price is
fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Research & development contract revenue includes reimbursements to us from our
pre-commercial stage Named Patient Program for clofarabine as well as certain
payments due from our co-development partner relating to the reimbursement of
50% for certain of our ongoing research costs in the development of clofarabine
outside the United States. Currently, the Company has billed but not recorded
approximately $2,513,000 of revenues relating to the reimbursement from our
co-development partner for certain of our ongoing research costs in the
development of clofarabine outside the United States. When the Company has
determined that collectibility is reasonably assured, the Company will record
the revenue. At December 31, 2005, the Company continues to hold a reserve for
bad debts of $869,000 relating to the outstanding receivables due from the
co-development partner.
The Company follows the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force 99-19, or EITF,
"Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent" in the
presentation of revenues and direct costs of revenues. This guidance requires
the Company to assess whether it acts as a principal in the transaction or as an
agent acting on behalf of others. The Company records revenue transactions gross
in its statements of operations if it is deemed the principal in the
transaction, which includes being the primary obligor and having the risks and
rewards of ownership.

Research and development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Accounting for stock-based compensation
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123 (R)"), requiring
the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of stock-based
compensation. The modified prospective transition method was used as allowed
under SFAS No. 123 (R). Under this method, the stock-based compensation expense
includes: (a) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant date
fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"; and (b) compensation expense for all
stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, based on the
grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
123 (R). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 (R), the Company had accounted for
stock based compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees", as permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation." Under APB Opinion No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation
cost is reflected in reported net loss, when options granted to employees have
an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock at
the date of grant.
Upon adoption of SFAS 123 (R), beginning July 1, 2005, the Company reversed the
unrecognized deferred compensation costs, associated with options granted to
certain employees, of approximately $136,000 with a corresponding reduction to
the Company's Additional paid-in capital (see Note E). The Company also no
longer re-measures the intrinsic value of the 380,000 re-priced options granted
to an officer of the Company (see Note E). The Company recognized compensation
expense of approximately $12,000 and $24,000 for the options during the three
and six months ended December 31, 2005 based on the fair value, as determined in
accordance with SFAS 123 (R), of the modified award that remains unvested.
Beginning July 1, 2005, the Company is recognizing compensation costs for stock
option awards to employees based on their grant-date fair value. The fair value
of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average fair value per share
for stock options granted to employees during the three and six months ended
December 31, 2005 was $3.44 and $4.04, respectively. Values were estimated using
a zero dividend yield, expected volatility of 80%, and a risk free interest rate
range of 3.99% to 4.39%. The expected term of 3.5 years was utilized based on
historical exercise of employees.
As required by SFAS 123 (R), management made an estimate of expected forfeitures
for all unvested awards and is recognizing compensation costs only for those
equity awards expected to vest. The impact on previously reported pro forma
disclosures under SFAS No. 123 where forfeitures were recognized as incurred is
not material. As of December 31, 2005, the total compensation cost related to
unvested equity awards granted to employees but not yet recognized is
approximately $2.7 million. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis
over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.5 years.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting
for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or
in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services," as amended by EITF No. 00-27.
Under EITF No. 96-18, where the fair value of the equity instrument is more
reliably measurable than the fair value of services received, such services will
be valued based on the fair value of the equity instrument.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", or SFAS 109. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax
basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates
that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

We have not generated any taxable income, subject to federal taxes, to date and,
therefore, have not paid any federal income taxes since inception. We record a
valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount that is
more likely than not to be realized. Assessment of the realization of deferred
income tax assets requires that estimates and assumptions be made as to the
taxable income of future periods. Our deferred tax assets are reduced to zero,
as management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. Projection of future period earnings is inherently
difficult as it involves consideration of numerous factors such as our overall
strategies and estimates of new product development and acceptance, product
lifecycles, selling prices and volumes, responses by competitors, manufacturing
costs and assumptions as to operating expenses and other industry specific and
macro and micro economic factors.
Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive
common shares outstanding during the periods. Options and warrants to purchase
11,234,314 and 11,404,364 shares of common stock have not been included in the
calculation of net loss per share for the three and six months ended December
31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive loss
Total comprehensive loss for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
was $3,928,000 and $4,107,000, respectively and $8,868,000 and $7,328,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency
of Bioenvision Limited, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, organized under
the laws of the United Kingdom with offices in Edinburgh, Scotland, is the Pound
Sterling. We translate assets and liabilities to their U.S. dollar equivalents
at rates in effect at the balance sheet date and record translation adjustments
in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We translate statement of
income accounts at average rates for the period. For the three months ended
December 31, 2005, foreign currency transaction gains and losses included in
selling, general and administrative expense were $40,000 and $3,000,
respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, foreign currency
transaction gains and losses included in selling, general and administrative
expense were $41,000 and $12,000, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term securities
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All funds invested
in a Certificate of Deposit with maturities greater than three months and less
than one year are classified as short-term securities and determined by
management to be available-for-sale securities.
Deferred costs
Deferred costs represent payments to Southern Research Institute, or SRI, and to
Stegram Pharmaceutical Ltd, which directly relate to milestone payments received
in connection with the Genzyme Co-Development Agreement and the Dechra
Sub-License Agreement, respectively. The amortization of these costs has been
presented in research and development on the statement of operations.
Credit risk
Our accounts receivable are primarily due from wholesale distributors and our
co-development partners. One customer comprises approximately 45% and 48% of
revenues earned for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005
respectively. At December 31, 2005, the Company continues to hold a provision
for bad debts of $869,000 relating to the outstanding receivables due from the
customer. Another customer comprises approximately 16% and 21% of revenues
earned for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments
The Company has estimated the fair value of financial instruments using
available market information and other valuation methodologies in accordance
with SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments."
Management of the Company believes that the fair value of financial instruments,
consisting of cash, cash equivalents, short term securities, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their
carrying value due to the immediate or short-term maturity associated with these
instruments.
Goodwill and Other intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of identifiable net
assets of Pathagon. Intangible assets include patents and licensing rights
acquired in connection with the acquisition of Pathagon. The Company accounts
for these assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least
annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also
requires that intangible assets with estimatable useful lives be amortized over
their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and
reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."
For goodwill, each year and whenever impairment indicators are present, we will
calculate the implied fair value of each goodwill amount and record an
impairment loss for the excess of book value over the implied fair value, if
any.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144 on July 1, 2003. In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment
and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an
impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset (see Note D).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154 "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections," a replacement of APB Opinion 20 and SFAS 3. SFAS 154 changes the
accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154
requires retrospective application to prior period's financial statements of
voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes required by new
accounting standards when the standard does not include specific transition
provisions, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 is effective for
accounting changes and corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2005.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations," an interpretation of SFAS 143. FIN 47 clarifies that
the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS 143 refers to a
legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing or
method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be
within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would
have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset
retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153 "Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets".
This statement was a result of a joint effort by the FASB and the IASB to
improve financial reporting by eliminating certain narrow differences between
their existing accounting standards. One such difference was the exception from
fair value measurement in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions", for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets. SFAS 153
replaces this exception with a general exception from fair value measurement for
exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A
nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the
entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This
statement is effective for non-monetary assets exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs". SFAS 151
amends Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement
clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 is the result of a
broader effort by the FASB and the IASB to improve financial reporting by
eliminating certain narrow differences between their existing accounting
standards. This statement was effective for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not
have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the
company.
NOTE B - Interim Financial Statements

NOTE C - License and Co-Development Agreements
Clofarabine
The Company has a license from Southern Research Institute ("SRI"), to develop,
manufacture and market a class of purine nucleoside analogs which, based on
third-party studies conducted to date, may be effective in the treatment of
leukemia, lymphoma and certain solid tumor cancers. The lead compound of these
purine-based nucleosides is known as clofarabine. Under the terms of the
agreement with SRI, the Company was granted the exclusive worldwide license,
excluding Japan and Southeast Asia, to make, use and sell products derived from
the technology for a term expiring on the date of expiration of the last patent
covered by the license (subject to earlier termination under certain
circumstances), and to utilize technical information related to the technology
to obtain patent and other proprietary rights to products developed by the
Company and by SRI from the technology. Initially, the Company is developing
clofarabine for the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma and studying its
potential role in treatment of solid tumors.
In August 2003, SRI granted the Company an irrevocable, exclusive option to
make, use and sell products derived from the technology in Japan and Southeast
Asia. The Company intends to convert the option to a license and is actively
working on this initiative.
To facilitate the development of clofarabine, in March 2001, the Company entered
into a co-development agreement with ILEX Oncology, Inc. ("ILEX"), our
sub-licensor until it was acquired by Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") on
December 21, 2004, for the development of clofarabine in cancer indications.
Under the terms of the co-development agreement, Genzyme is required to pay all
development costs in the United States and Canada, and 50% of approved
development costs worldwide outside the U.S. and Canada (excluding Japan and
Southeast Asia), in each case, for the development of clofarabine in cancer
indications. Currently, the Company has billed but not recorded approximately
$2,513,000 of revenues relating to the reimbursement from our co-development
partner for certain of our ongoing research costs in the development of
clofarabine outside the United States. When the Company has determined that
collectibility is reasonably assured, the Company will record the revenue.
Genzyme is responsible for conducting all clinical trials and the filing and
prosecution of applications with applicable regulatory authorities in the United
States and Canada for certain cancer indications. The Company retains the right
to handle those matters in all territories outside the United States and Canada
(excluding Japan and Southeast Asia) and retains the right to handle these
matters in the U.S. and Canada in all non-cancer indications. The Company
retained the exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights in Europe and
elsewhere worldwide, except for the United States, Canada, Japan and Southeast
Asia. Under the co-development agreement, Genzyme will have certain rights if it
performs its development obligations in accordance with that agreement. The
Company is required to pay Genzyme a royalty on sales outside the U.S., Canada,
Japan and Southeast Asia. In turn, Genzyme, which would have U.S. and Canadian
distribution rights in cancer indications, is paying the Company a royalty on
sales in the U.S. and Canada. Under the terms of the co-development agreement,
Genzyme also pays royalties to Southern Research Institute based on certain
milestones. The Company also is obligated to pay certain royalties to Southern
Research Institute with respect to clofarabine.
The Company received a nonrefundable upfront payment of $1.35 million when it
entered into the co-development agreement with Genzyme and received an
additional $3.5 million in December 2003 when it converted Genzyme's option to
market clofarabine in the U.S. into a sublicense. Upon Genzyme's filing the New
Drug Application for clofarabine with the FDA, the Company received an
additional (i) $2 million in April 2004 and (ii) $2 million in September 2004.
The Company deferred the upfront payment and recognized revenues ratably, on a
straight-line basis over the related service period, through December 2002. The
Company has deferred the milestone payments received to date and recognizes
revenues ratably, on a straight line basis over the related service period,
through March 2021. For each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2005
and 2004, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $110,000 and $220,000
respectively, in connection with the milestone payments received to date.
Deferred costs include royalty payments that became due and payable to SRI upon
the Company's execution of the co-development agreement with Genzyme. The
Company defers all royalty payments made to SRI and recognizes these costs
ratably, on a straight-line basis concurrent with revenue that is recognized in
connection with research and development costs including approximately $55,000
for each of the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company
recognized research and development costs of $110,000 for each of the six months
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in connection with the above royalty payments.
Modrenal(R)
The Company holds an exclusive license, until the expiration of existing and new
patents related to Modrenal(R), to market Modrenal(R) in major international
territories, and an agreement with a United Kingdom company to co-develop
Modrenal(R) for other therapeutic indications. Management believes that
Modrenal(R) currently is manufactured by third- party contractors in accordance
with good manufacturing practices ("GMP").

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE C - License and Co-Development Agreements -continued
The Company has no plans to establish its own manufacturing facility for
Modrenal(R), but will continue to use third-party contractors.
The Company received a nonrefundable upfront payment of $1.25 million when it
entered into the License and Sublicense Agreement with Dechra Pharmaceuticals in
May 2003. The Company deferred the upfront payment and recognizes revenues
ratably, on a straight-line basis over the related service period, currently
through September 2022. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $15,000
and $28,000 in connection with the upfront payment from Dechra for the three
months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively and $30,000 and $57,000
for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Deferred costs include royalty payments that became due and payable to Stegram
Pharmaceuticals Ltd. upon the Company's execution of the License and Sub-License
Agreement with Dechra in May 2003. The Company defers all royalty payments made
to Stegram and recognizes these costs ratably, on a straight-line basis
concurrent with revenue that is recognized in connection with the Dechra
agreement. Research and Development costs related to this agreement include
approximately $3,000 and $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively and $6,000 and $11,000 for the six months ended December
31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.

Amortization of intangibles amounted to $231,000 and $336,000 for the three

for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Intangible
assets are recorded at cost and amortized over periods generally ranging from
1-20 years. Amortization for each of the next five fiscal years is expected to
amount to approximately $860,000 annually.
At June 30, 2005, we recognized an impairment of approximately $5,276,000
relating to the methylene blue intangible acquired in connection with the
Pathagon acquisition. Due to the loss of an intellectual property patent suit
which occurred during the Company's fourth quarter of 2005, relating to the
international use of BIOV-401 (Virostat) in fresh frozen plasma, we re-evaluated
the intangible asset relating to Virostat at June 30, 2005. At that date, we
estimated that our undiscounted future cash flows, relating solely and
exclusively to approved uses of Virostat, were less than the carrying value of
our long-lived asset. As a result, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of
$5,276,000, equal to the difference between the estimated future cash flows for
approved uses of Virostat, discounted at an appropriate rate, and the carrying
amount of the asset. Making the determinations of impairment and the amount of
impairment requires significant judgment by management and assumptions with
respect to the future cash flows of the assets. Changes in events or
circumstances that may affect long-lived assets makes judgments and assumptions
with respect to the future cash flows highly subjective.

NOTE E - Stockholders' Transactions
Stock Options
The Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders approved the 2003 Stock
Incentive Plan at the Annual Meeting held in January of 2004. The plan was
adopted to recognize the contributions made by the Company's employees,
officers, consultants, and directors, to provide those individuals with
additional incentive to devote themselves to our future success and to improve
the Company's ability to attract, retain and motivate individuals upon whom the
Company's growth and financial success depends. Under the plan, stock options
may be granted as approved by the Board of Directors or the Compensation
Committee. There are 4,500,000 shares reserved for grants of options under the
plan and at December 31, 2005, options to purchase 2,971,500 shares of common
stock had been issued. The Company's policy is to issue new shares for option
exercises. Stock options vest pursuant to individual stock option agreements. No
options granted under the plan are exercisable after the expiration of ten years
(or less in the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Compensation
Committee) from the date of the grant. The plan will continue in effect until
terminated or amended by the Board of Directors or until expiration of the plan
on November 17, 2013.
In June 2002, the Company granted options to an officer of the Company to
purchase 380,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.95 per share,
which equaled the fair value on the date of grant. Of this amount 50,000 options
vested on June 28, 2002 and the remaining 330,000 options vest ratably over a
three-year period on each anniversary date. On March 31, 2003, the Company
entered into an Employment Agreement with such officer of the Company, pursuant
to which, among other things, the exercise price for all of the 380,000 options
were changed to $0.735 per share, which equaled the stock price on that date. In
addition, the Company issued an additional 120,000 options at an exercise price
of $0.735 per share which vested immediately. As a result of the repricing of
all of the 380,000 options, the Company remeasured the intrinsic value of these
options at the end of each reporting period based on changes in the stock price
through June 30, 2005. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123 (R) on July 1,
2005, the Company no longer re-measures the intrinsic value of the 380,000
re-priced options. The Company determined the fair value of the modified award
in accordance with SFAS 123, the guidance then in effect and has recognized
expense relating to the portion of the options that were unvested on July 1,
2005. For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company
recognized stock based employee compensation expense of approximately $12,000
and $417,000, respectively, related to these options. For the six months ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized stock based employee
compensation expense of approximately $24,000 and $219,000, respectively,
related to these options.
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded
compensation expense of approximately $22,000 and $44,000, respectively as a
result of 505,000 options granted to certain employees at an exercise price
below the grant date trading price. Upon adoption of SFAS 123 (R), beginning
July 1, 2005, the Company reversed the unrecognized deferred compensation costs
of approximately $136,000, associated with these options, with a corresponding
reduction to the Company's additional paid-in capital and is recognizing the
fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123
for the unvested options. In December of 2005, the Company cancelled a total of
251,667 options relating to the unexercised options issued to three of the
employees that were originally issued below fair market value with a strike
price of $4.05. The Company reissued these options at the fair market value on
January 20, 2004 (original grant date) with a strike price of $4.55 and provided
cash bonuses to the employees in return for the increase in the strike price.
The original vesting terms and remaining expiration life of the original grant
on date of modification was utilized in the new grant. The Company has recorded
additional compensation expense equal to the amount of the cash bonuses paid of
$125,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005. The Company will
continue to record compensation expense for the fair value of the stock options
over the remaining vesting term.
On January 20, 2004, the Company granted 25,000 options to a board member for
serving as a member of the Board of Directors, at an exercise price of $4.55 per
share which vest ratably on the first and second anniversaries of the grant
date. The Company recognized consulting expense of approximately $12,000 for
both the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and $24,000 for both the
six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 relating to said options.
On January 6, 2005, the Company granted 7,500 options to a board member for
serving as a member of the Board of Directors, at an exercise price of $8.17 per
share which 1,875 vest immediately on the grant date and the remaining 5,625
vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The
Company recognized approximately $2,000 and $4,000 as consulting expense for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively.
On September 27, 2005, certain non-employee holders of options exercised
pursuant to the cashless exercise feature available to such option holders and
the Company issued approximately 191,196 shares of its common stock in
connection therewith.

and Tessman Technology Ltd. (the "Tessman Defendants") in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 03-603984). An amended
complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract and negligence by
Tessman and Tessman Technology and demands judgment against Tessman and Tessman
Technology in an amount to be determined by the Court. The Tessman Defendants
removed the case to federal court, then remanded it to state court and served an
answer with several purported counterclaims. The Company denies the allegations
in the counterclaims and intends to pursue its claims against the Tessman
Defendants vigorously. Each of the parties has moved for summary judgment
dismissing all but one of the claims of the other parties. Those motions have
all been denied by the Court, and a trial date has been set for early 2006.
NOTE I - Shareholder Receivable
Subsequent to the exercise of an option by a former member of management on
September 27, 2005, the Company became aware of the statutorily required
withholding taxes due to the UK tax regulatory authority. In order to maintain
compliance with the UK tax regulatory authority, the Company remitted the taxes
due on behalf of the former employee in January 2006 and, in return, received a
promissory note from the former member of management dated November 28, 2005 for
$341,000. The payment of these taxes was not part of the option agreement. The
Company has classified such note as a shareholder receivable in the equity
section of the balance sheet.
NOTE J - Restatement
In May of 2005, the Company identified an error with respect to the accounting
for income taxes in connection with the Pathagon acquisition completed on
February 1, 2002. The Company had originally concluded that the realization of
the deferred tax asset related to the net operating losses and other deductible
temporary differences existing at the acquisition date, and generated after the
acquisition date, did not meet the "more likely than not" criteria and, as a
result, a valuation allowance was established on the deferred tax assets of the
Company. The Company's restated accounting treatment determined that the
deferred tax liability recorded in connection with the Pathagon acquisition
creates taxable income as the taxable temporary differences reverse.
Consequently, the ability to realize the deferred tax assets is "more likely
than not" and a valuation allowance is not required against the deferred tax
assets, to the extent the deferred tax liability offsets the deferred tax
assets. This restated accounting treatment resulted in the recognition of our
deferred tax assets to the extent of our deferred tax liabilities. The deferred
tax asset, in excess of the deferred tax liability, is not "more likely than
not" to be realized, and therefore, a full valuation allowance has been
established against the net deferred tax asset.
The Company restated its previously reported financial statements and all
interim periods as of and for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, to record
additional benefit relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets as
indicated in the first paragraph of this note. For the years ended June 30,
2004, June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002, the Company previously recorded the
reduction to the deferred tax liability and a corresponding tax benefit of
$537,000, $537,000 and $253,000, respectively. In the restated financial
statements for years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, the Company recorded
deferred tax assets, with a corresponding additional deferred tax benefit of
$923,000 and $1,580,000, respectively, offsetting the deferred tax liability
resulting from the Pathagon acquisition. Additionally, as of the acquisition
date on February 1, 2002, a deferred tax asset was recorded for $2,363,000 with
a corresponding reduction to goodwill. This represented the deferred tax assets
that existed at the date of acquisition and for which the previously recorded
valuation allowance was eliminated.

The following discussion and analysis of significant factors affecting the
Company's operating results, liquidity and capital resources should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes.
Overview and Company Status
We are a product-focused biopharmaceutical company with two approved cancer
therapeutics. In December 2004, the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA,
approved our lead cancer product, clofarabine, for the treatment of pediatric
acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL, in patients who are relapsed or refractory
to at least two prior regimens of treatment. We believe clofarabine is the first
new medicine initially approved in the United States for children with leukemia
in more than a decade. Clofarabine has received Orphan Drug designation in the
U.S. and the E.U. Genzyme Corporation, our co-development partner, currently
holds marketing rights in the U.S. and Canada for clofarabine for certain cancer
indications and currently controls U.S. development of clofarabine in these
indications. Genzyme is marketing clofarabine under the brand name Clolar(R) in
the U.S. In Europe, we have filed for approval of clofarabine in pediatric ALL
with the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, or EMeA. An Oral Explanation
before the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, has been
scheduled for the week commencing February 20th, 2006, in relation to the
European Marketing Authorization Application for clofarabine in the treatment of
patients (up to 21 years old at initial diagnosis) with relapsed or refractory
ALL after at least two prior regimens. According to standard CHMP procedures,
following the Oral Explanation, the committee is expected to make a
recommendation on whether to grant a Marketing Authorization for clofarabine and
issue a formal opinion at its meeting in March 2006. If approved, we anticipate
commencing sales in Europe, under the brand name Evoltra, in mid-2006 through a
dedicated European sales force. We are selling our anti-cancer drug,
Modrenal(R), in the U.K., through our sales force of eight sales specialists.
Modrenal(R) is approved in the U.K. for the treatment of post-menopausal
advanced breast cancer following relapse to initial hormone therapy.
If we receive additional European approvals for our products, we intend to
expand our sales force by adding up to six to 10 sales specialists in each of
five other key regions within the E.U. which include the countries of France,
Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Denmark and
Sweden. Further, we intend to penetrate all of the other markets within the E.U.
upon establishing traction in the E.U's major markets.
Over the next 12 months, we intend to continue our internal growth strategy to
provide the necessary regulatory, sales and marketing capabilities which will be
required to pursue the expanded development programs for clofarabine and
Modrenal(R) described above. Currently, we are considering all options available
to us for the marketing and distribution of clofarabine in our primary markets,
including, without limitation, doing so directly and internally with our own
sales force, doing so through one or more distributors or wholesalers or
disposing of the marketing and distribution rights to a third party.
We have incurred losses during this early stage of our operations. Our
management believes that we have the opportunity to become a leading
oncology-focused pharmaceutical company in the next four years if we
successfully bring clofarabine to market in Europe and successfully develop
certain of our other product candidates.
We anticipate that revenues derived from our two lead drugs, clofarabine and
Modrenal(R) will permit us to further develop the other products currently in
our product pipeline. In addition to clofarabine and Modrenal(R), we are
performing initial development work on BIOV-401(Virostat) for the treatment of
chronic Hepatitis C and Velostan. The work to date on these compounds has been
limited because of the need to concentrate on clofarabine and Modrenal(R) but
management believe these compounds have potential value.
-17-
With BIOV-401(Virostat), the Company has commenced a phase II clinical trial in
patients with hepatitis C viral infection and with Velostan the Company has been
developing a process for the separation of optical isomers of the compound and
we are conducting additional pre-clinical testing. We have had discussions with
potential product co-development partners from time to time, and plan to
continue to explore the possibilities for co-development and sub-licensing in
order to implement our development plans. In addition, we believe that some of
our products may have applications in treating non-cancer conditions in humans
and in animals. Whereas those conditions have been outside our core business
focus until the present time, we are now beginning to expand development in
these areas although and we do not intend to devote a substantial portion of our
resources to addressing those conditions.
In May 2003, we entered into a License and Sub-License Agreement with Dechra
Pharmaceuticals, plc, or Dechra, pursuant to which we sub-licensed the marketing
and development rights to Vetoryl(R) (trilostane), solely with respect to animal
health applications, in the U.S. and Canada, to Dechra. We received $1.25
million in cash, together with future milestone and royalty payments which are
contingent upon the occurrence of certain events. We intend to continue to try
and capitalize on these types of opportunities as they arise. The Company also
owns rights to OLIGON(R) technology and we have had discussions with potential
product licensing partners from time to time, and plan to continue to explore
the possibilities for co-development and sub-licensing in order to implement our
development plans.
You should consider the likelihood of our future success to be highly
speculative in light of our limited operating history, as well as the limited
resources, problems, expenses, risks and complications frequently encountered by
similarly situated companies. To address these risks, we must, among other
things:
o satisfy our future capital requirements for the implementation of our
business plan;
o commercialize our existing products;
o complete development of products presently in our pipeline and obtain
necessary regulatory approvals for use;
o implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy to
commercialize products;
o continue to develop new products and upgrade our existing products;
o continue to establish and maintain relationships with manufacturers for our
products;
o respond to industry and competitive developments; and
o attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.
We may not be successful in addressing these or any risks associated with our
business and/or products. If we were unable to do so, our business prospects,
financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely
affected. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the
development cycles of new pharmaceutical products and technologies and the
competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate.
Results of Operations
The Company recorded revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and
2004 of approximately $1,091,000 and $1,176,000, respectively, representing a
decrease of approximately $85,000. The Company recorded revenues for the six
months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 of approximately $1,762,000 and
$2,261,000, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $499,000.
This was primarily due to a decrease in research and development contract
revenue as the Company did not record approximately $685,000 and $1,371,000 of
revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively,
relating to the reimbursement from our co-development partner for certain of our
ongoing research costs in the development of clofarabine outside the United
States because it determined that the criteria for recognizing such contract
revenues had not been met. When the Company has determined that collectibility
is reasonably assured, the Company will record the revenue. This decrease is
offset by an increase in named patient sales of clofarabine and royalties from
US sales of clofarabine.
The cost of products sold for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
were approximately $438,000 and $152,000, respectively, representing an increase
of approximately $286,000. The cost of products sold reflects the direct costs
associated with our sales of Modrenal(R) and royalty expense of $331,000 and
$22,000, for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively. The
cost of products sold for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were
approximately $766,000 and $152,000, respectively, representing an increase of
approximately $614,000. The cost of products sold reflects the direct costs
associated with our sales of Modrenal(R) and royalty expense of $532,000 and
$22,000, for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
-18-
Research and development costs for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and
2004 were approximately $2,011,000 and $1,689,000, respectively, representing an
increase of approximately $322,000. Research and development costs for the six
months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $4,442,000 and
$3,828,000, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $614,000.
Our research and development costs include costs associated with the six
projects shown in the table below, three of which the Company currently devotes
time and resources:

============ ============= =========== ===========
Clofarabine research and development costs for the three months ended December
31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $1,291,000 and $1,113,000, respectively,
representing an increase of approximately $178,000. Clofarabine research and
development costs for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were
approximately $3,429,000 and $2,993,000, respectively, representing an increase
of approximately $436,000. The increase primarily reflects costs which are
associated with our increased development activities and clinical trials of
clofarabine being conducted in Europe.
Modrenal(R) research and development costs for the three months ended December
31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $680,000 and $547,000, respectively,
representing an increase of $133,000. Modrenal(R) research and development costs
for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $916,000
and $798,000, respectively, representing an increase of $118,000. This increase
is due primarily to the costs associated with our Phase II clinical trial in
pre-menopausal cancer and Phase IV clinical trial in patients with
post-menopausal cancer, which are each being conducted in the U.K.
Virostat research and development costs for the three months ended December 31,
2005 and 2004 were approximately $40,000 and $6,000 respectively, representing
an increase of $34,000. Virostat research and development costs for the six
months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $97,000 and $6,000
respectively, representing an increase of $91,000. The increase primarily
reflects the costs associated with the investigator sponsored Phase II clinical
trial conducted in Egypt during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and costs
associated with the preparation of an IND application to be filed with the FDA.
Velostan research and development costs for the three months ended December 31,
2005 and 2004 were approximately $0 and $9,000, respectively, representing a
decrease of $9,000. Velostan research and development costs for the six months
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $0 and $17,000,
respectively, representing a decrease of $17,000. There were no research and
development costs associated with Velostan for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2005 because the Company is actively working on the manufacturing
process with its regulatory advisors to develop a raceamic form of the compound
for use in the Company's clinical development program. No assurance can be given
the Company will be able to create the L-form Velostan required for the clinical
development program or, if it can, the timing of such development.
OLIGON research and development costs for the three months ended December 31,
2005 were approximately $0 and $14,000, respectively, representing a decrease of
$14,000. OLIGON research and development costs for the six months ended December
31, 2005 were approximately $0 and $14,000, respectively, representing a
decrease of $14,000. There were no research and development costs associated
with OLIGON for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 due to the
Company's focus on clofarabine during this period.
-19-
There were no research and development costs associated with Gene Therapy for
the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 due to the Company's
focus on clofarabine during this period. We anticipate that revenues derived
from our two lead drugs, clofarabine and Modrenal(R) will permit us to further
develop these products.
The clinical trials and development strategy for the clofarabine and Modrenal(R)
projects, in each case, is anticipated to cost several million dollars and will
continue for several years based on the number of clinical indications within
which we plan to develop these drugs. Currently, management cannot estimate the
timing or costs associated with these projects because many of the variables,
such as interaction with regulatory authorities and response rates in various
clinical trials, are not predictable. Total costs to date for each of our
projects is as follows: (i) clofarabine research and development costs have been
approximately $17,744,000; (ii) Modrenal(R) research and development costs have
been approximately $7,284,000; (iii) Velostan research and development costs
have been approximately $380,000; (iv) Virostat research and development costs
have been approximately $286,000; (v) OLIGON research and development costs have
been approximately $25,000; and (vi) Gene Therapy research and development costs
have been approximately $451,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December
31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $2,582,000 and $3,054,000, respectively,
representing a decrease of $472,000. The decrease is due to a decrease in
consulting expense relating to the vesting of warrants during the three months
ended December 31, 2004, partially offset by an increase in costs associated
with the expanded sales and marketing and administrative infrastructure and
costs associated with the internal build out of the Company. Selling, general
and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
were approximately $5,470,000 and $4,811,000, respectively, representing an
increase of $659,000. The increase is due to an increase in costs associated
with the expanded sales and marketing and administrative infrastructure and
costs associated with the internal build out of the Company, offset by a
decrease in consulting expense related to the vesting of warrants during the six
months ended December 31, 2004.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended December 31,
2005 and 2004 were approximately $257,000 and $342,000, respectively,
representing a decrease of $85,000. The decrease is due to the Company recording
an impairment charge of $5,276,000 at June 30, 2005, which decreased the cost
basis of our methylene blue intangibles. Depreciation and amortization expense
for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $481,000
and $682,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $201,000. The decrease is
due to the Company recording an impairment charge of $5,276,000 at June 30,
2005, which decreased the cost basis of our methylene blue intangibles.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that we may continue to incur significant operating losses for the
foreseeable future. There can be no assurance as to whether or when we will
generate material revenues or achieve profitable operations.
At December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term securities
of approximately $54,021,000 and working capital of $52,014,000. Management
believes the Company has sufficient cash and cash equivalents and working
capital to continue currently planned operations over the next 12 months.
Although we do not currently plan to acquire or obtain licenses for new
technologies, if any such opportunity arises and we deem it to be in our
interests to pursue such an opportunity, it is possible that additional
financing would be required for such a purpose.
For the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, net cash used in operating
activities was approximately $10,517,000 and $4,651,000, respectively,
representing an increase of approximately $5,866,000. This increase is primarily
due to increased costs associated with (i) our expanded research and development
activity, (ii) selling general and administrative expenses, including an
increase in costs associated with the expanded sales and marketing and
administrative infrastructure and costs associated with the internal build out
of the Company and (iii) cash paid for insurance premiums. For the six months
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, net cash used in investing activities was
approximately $17,782,000 and $129,000, respectively, representing an increase
of approximately $17,653,000. This increase is primarily due to the net
investment of the proceeds from our February 2005 secondary offering in
short-term securities of approximately $17,850,000. For the six months ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, net cash used in or provided by financing activities
was approximately $169,000 and $3,372,000 representing a decrease of $3,203,000.
This decrease is primarily due to the fact that we did not receive any proceeds
this quarter from the exercise of options, warrants, or other convertible
securities where we had received proceeds of $3,624,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 for such matters.
On February 8, 2005, we completed a secondary public offering in which we sold
7,500,000 common shares at $8.00 per share, with net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $55.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds for further
development of our lead products, for sales and marketing expenses related to
the commercial launch of our lead products, for working capital and other
general corporate purposes.
On March 22, 2004, we consummated a private placement transaction, pursuant to
which we raised $12.8 million and issued 2,044,514 shares of our common stock
and warrants to purchase an additional 408,903 shares of our common stock at a
conversion price of $7.50 per share. We recorded proceeds of $11,792,801 net of
all legal, professional and financing fees incurred in connection
-20-
with the offering. We consummated a second closing for this financing on May 13,
2004 in order to comply with certain contractual obligations to our holders of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which hold preemptive rights for equity
offerings. We raised an additional $3.2 million (net of all legal, professional
and financial services incurred) from the second closing and issued an
additional 558,384 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 111,677
shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $7.50 per share.
On May 7, 2002 we authorized the issuance and sale of up to 5,920,000 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
may be converted into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of
$1.50 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock
dividends, mergers, issuances of cheap stock and other similar transactions.
Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock also received, in respect of
each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock purchased in a private
placement which took place in May 2002, one warrant to purchase one share of our
common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 subject to adjustment. We
sold an aggregate of 5,916,666 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in
the May 2002 private placement for $3.00 per share and warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 5,916,666 shares of common stock, resulting in aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $17,750,000. A portion of the proceeds were used to
repay in full the Jano Holdings and SCO Capital obligations upon which such
facilities were terminated as well as to repay fees amounting to $1,610,000
related to the transaction.
The Company has the following commitments as of December 31, 2005:

Restatement
On May 23, 2005, management and the audit committee of the Company concluded
that financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, should not be relied upon because of a
requirement to correct the Company's tax accounting related to the acquisition
of Pathagon, Inc. in February 2002 which was identified during the review
process of the financial statements to be included in the Company's quarterly
report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Accordingly, the
Company restated its financial statements included in its annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004 (the "10-KSB/A"). The Company's 10-KSB/A
was filed on June 29, 2005.
On May 24, 2005, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq staff indicating
that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq's requirements for the
continued listing due to its failure to timely file its Form 10-QSB for the
period ended March 31, 2005, as required under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) and
that therefore its common stock was subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock
Market. The notice does not by itself result in immediate delisting of the
common stock, although Nasdaq stated that unless the Company timely requested a
hearing, the Company's securities would be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market
at the opening of business on June 2, 2005. The Company made a timely request
for a hearing with the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Nasdaq
staff's determination which stayed the delisting pending the hearing and a
determination by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. On June 29, 2005, the
Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel approved Bioenvision's request for
continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market and the fifth character "E" was
removed from Bioenvision's trading symbol on the opening of trading on Friday,
July 1, 2005.
Subsequent Events
As described in the Company's current report on Form 8-K, filed on January 20,
2006, on January 17, 2006, Deloitte & Touche LLP notified Bioenvision, Inc. (the
"Company") that it will resign as the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm upon the completion of its review of the Company's unaudited
interim financial information for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The
Company expects to replace Deloitte & Touche LLP during the quarter ended March
31, 2006.
As described in the Company's current report on Form 8-K, filed on February 10,
2006, on February 6, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment (the
"Amendment") to its employment agreement (the "Original Employment Agreement")
with David P. Luci, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of
the Company (the "Executive"), whereby the Executive agreed that the
-21-
Company's hiring and/or employment of an individual other than the Executive to
perform the duties of the Company's chief financial officer, principal financial
officer, and/or principal accounting officer prior to the expiration of the term
of the Original Employment Agreement will not by itself constitute a Permitted
Resignation (as defined in the Original Employment Agreement), and the Executive
waives the right to claim good reason resignation rights under his Original
Employment Agreement based solely upon such hiring and/or employment. Upon the
Company's hiring and/or employment of an individual other than the Executive to
perform the duties of the Company's chief financial officer, principal financial
officer, and/or principal accounting officer, the Executive shall be promoted to
the office of Executive Vice President and General Counsel and shall have such
increased duties and responsibilities as are consistent with that new office
and/or as the Company's CEO may reasonably request, including in the area of
business development. In connection with and consideration for the Amendment and
in exchange for the promises the Executive makes therein, the Company shall
grant and issue to the Executive 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
without restriction, upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Company's hiring
and/or employment of an individual other than Executive to perform the duties of
the Company's chief financial officer, principal financial officer, and/or
principal accounting officer or (b) a Change in Control (as defined in the
Original Employment Agreement). The Executive shall be deemed fully vested in
the shares upon their issuance. Except as specifically modified by the
Amendment, all remaining provisions, terms and conditions of the Original
Employment Agreement remain in full force and effect.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154 "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections," a replacement of APB Opinion 20 and SFAS 3. SFAS 154 changes the
accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154
requires retrospective application to prior period's financial statements of
voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes required by new
accounting standards when the standard does not include specific transition
provisions, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 is effective for
accounting changes and corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2005.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations," an interpretation of SFAS 143. FIN 47 clarifies that
the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS 143 refers to a
legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing or
method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be
within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would
have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset
retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2005.
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123 (R)"), requiring
the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of stock-based
compensation. The modified prospective transition method was used as allowed
under SFAS No. 123 (R). Under this method, the stock-based compensation expense
includes: (a) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant date
fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"; and (b) compensation expense for all
stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, based on the
grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
123 (R). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 (R), the Company had accounted for
stock based compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees", as permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation." Under APB Opinion No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation
cost is reflected in reported net loss, when options granted to employees have
an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock at
the date of grant. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 the
Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $482,000 and $941,000
respectively.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153 "Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets".
This statement was a result of a joint effort by the FASB and the International
Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, to improve financial reporting by
eliminating certain narrow differences between their existing accounting
standards. One such difference was the exception from fair value measurement in
APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions", for non-monetary
exchanges of similar productive assets. SFAS 153 replaces this exception with a
general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of non-monetary
assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has
commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement was effective
for non-monetary assets exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a material impact on the
results of operations or financial position of the company.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs". SFAS 151
amends Accounting Research Bulletin, or ARB, No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement
clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 is the result of a
broader effort by the FASB and the IASB to improve financial reporting by
eliminating certain narrow differences between their existing accounting
standards. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not
have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the
company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our excess cash is invested in certificates of deposit with various short-term
maturities. We hold no derivative financial instruments and we do not currently
engage in hedging activities. We do not have any outstanding debt. Accordingly,
due to the maturity and credit quality of our investments, we are not subjected
to any substantial risk arising from changes in interest rates, currency
exchange rates and commodity and equity prices. However the company does have
some exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations arising from maintaining an
office for the Company's U.K. based, wholly owned subsidiary which transacts
business in the local functional currency. Management periodically reviews such
foreign currency risk and to date has not undertaken any foreign currency hedges
through the use of forward exchange contracts or options and does not foresee
doing so in the near future.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, except as set forth
below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded
that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to
ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.
Changes in Internal Controls
In December of 2005, the Company hired an additional accountant in its New York
office to assist with growing accounting and bookkeeping responsibilities. Our
new accountant most recently served as Senior Accountant with Wiss & Company,
LLP. Also in December of 2005, the Company formed a Disclosure Committee, made
up of senior financial and legal personnel, that is charged with assisting the
CEO and CFO in overseeing the accuracy and timeliness of the periodic reports
filed under the Exchange Act and in evaluating regularly our disclosure controls
and procedures. The Committee meets on a quarterly basis to, along with the
tasks listed above, discuss complex and significant transactions in order to
provide reasonable assurance that such transactions are reflected accurately and
fairly in the financial statements. In December of 2005, the Company engaged the
tax consultancy services of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, an internationally
recognized accounting firm, to supplement our internal tax staff and to enhance
our internal controls over income tax accounting.
Unless otherwise disclosed, we made no other change in our internal controls
over financial reporting during the quarter that materially affected or is
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
Description of Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
(a) Restatement of the Company's 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
In connection with the preparation and filing of our quarterly report on Form
10-QSB for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, our internal corporate
staff identified errors with respect to our tax accounting treatment associated
with the acquisition of Pathagon, Inc. which was consummated in February 2002.
Our initial accounting concluded that the realization of our deferred tax assets
related to the net operating losses and other deductible temporary differences
existing at the acquisition date, and generated after the acquisition date, did
not meet the "more likely than not" criteria and, as a result, a valuation
allowance was established on the deferred tax assets of the Company. The Company
subsequently determined that the deferred tax liability recorded in connection
with the Pathagon acquisition creates taxable income as the taxable temporary
differences reverse and, therefore, a portion of the valuation allowance
previously established on our deferred tax assets was not required.
Management reported its findings to the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors. After initial discussions with the Audit Committee, management
reviewed these matters in further detail, and after completing its analysis on
May 15, 2005, recommended to the Audit Committee that previously reported
financial results be restated to reflect correction of these errors. The Audit
Committee agreed with this recommendation. Pursuant to the recommendation of the
Audit Committee, the Board of Directors determined at its meeting on May 15,
2005, that previously reported results be restated to correct the income tax
treatment associated with the Pathagon acquisition.
In connection with the restatement, under the direction of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we reevaluated our disclosure controls and
procedures. We identified the following material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for income taxes
associated with a purchase business combination:
-23-
o a failure to ensure the correct application of SFAS 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" with respect to purchase business combinations and failure to
correct that error subsequently resulting from the lack of personnel
knowledgeable in the accounting for income taxes.
Solely as a result of this material weakness, we concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2005.
As of June 30, 2005, we had taken the following measures to remediate the
material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect
to accounting for income taxes that existed as of March 31, 2005 and therefore
believe that this material weakness has been rectified. The remedial actions
included:
o improving training, education and accounting reviews designed to ensure
that all relevant personnel involved in income tax transactions understand
and apply accounting in compliance with SFAS 109;
o hiring additional internal resources, including a Director of Financial
Reporting, to perform internal control activities previously completed by
outside consultants; and
o engaging an outside tax consultant to supplement our internal tax staff and
enhance our internal controls over income tax accounting.
(b) In connection with the filing of our annual report on Form 10-KSB, for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, under the direction of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls
and procedures and concluded that as of June 30, 2005, the following material
weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed:
o we did not maintain effective controls relating to the timely
identification, evaluation and accurate resolution of non-routine or
complex accounting matters, specifically, (i) we did not timely identify
and evaluate a change of circumstances that resulted in an impairment of
our intangible assets relating to certain patents, (ii) we did not timely
identify and accurately resolve an accounting issue related to contractual
revenue recognition and (iii) we did not timely evaluate our accounts
receivable for the need of a valuation allowance, each of which resulted in
a material adjustment to our consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Management discussed this material weakness with the audit committee. As of
December 31, 2005, we had taken the following measures to remediate the above
material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting that existed
as of June 30, 2005. The remedial actions include:
o improving training and education for all relevant personnel involved in the
preparation and review of the Company's financial statements;
o the formation of a Disclosure Committee, as more fully discussed above
under Changes in Internal Control;
o hiring an additional accountant, as more fully discussed above under
Changes in Internal Controls; and
o Use of prepared checklists for the preparation of periodic SEC reports to
ensure the completeness and accuracy of those reports. The Company has
adopted the practice of using prepared checklists for upcoming SEC periodic
reports that set forth new and changing requirements to ensure that those
requirements are satisfied in the periodic reports.
Notwithstanding the above mentioned weaknesses, we believe that the consolidated
financial statements included in this report fairly present our consolidated
financial position as of, and the consolidated results of operations for the
period ended, December 31, 2005.

BIOENVISION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 19, 2003, the Company filed a complaint against Dr. Deidre Tessman
and Tessman Technology Ltd. (the "Tessman Defendants") in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 03-603984). An amended
complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract and negligence by
Tessman and Tessman Technology and demands judgment against Tessman and Tessman
Technology in an amount to be determined by the Court. The Tessman Defendants
removed the case to federal court, then remanded it to state court and served an
answer with several purported counterclaims. The Company denies the allegations
in the counterclaims and intends to pursue its claims against the Tessman
Defendants vigorously. Each of the parties has moved for summary judgment
dismissing all but one of the claims of the other parties. Those motions have
all been denied by the Court, and a trial date has been set for early 2006.
