GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC. 7710 HAZARD CENTER DRIVE, SUITE E-415 SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA 92108 NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS DEAR SHAREHOLDERS: We are writing to advise you that Global Yacht Services, Inc. has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger") with DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc., dba Hyalozyme Therapeutics, Inc., ("Hyalozyme") a privately held corporation based in San Diego, California and its stockholders to merge with Hyalozyme. The Merger is to be accomplished after we form a wholly-owned merger subsidiary in Nevada which would then merge with and into Hyalozyme, with Hyalozyme being the survivor. In addition, Hyalozyme's outstanding shares would then be converted into a combination of shares of our common stock, as well as options and warrants to purchase restricted shares of our common stock. This share conversion is intended to correspond to the capitalization of Hyalozyme. After the Merger is concluded, we will change our corporate name to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. We will also amend and restate our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to one hundred million and to authorize twenty million shares preferred stock for which our Board of Directors may set the designations and preferences. The Merger, name change, increase in authorized common stock and authorization of preferred stock was approved on January 28, 2004, by unanimous approval of our Board of Directors. In addition, Mitch Keeler, our President, director and our majority shareholder, approved the Merger, name change, increase in authorized common stock and authorization of preferred stock by written consent in lieu of a meeting on January 28, 2004, in accordance with the relevant sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes. The name change, increase in authorized common stock and authorization of preferred stock will not be effective until we amend and restate our Articles of Incorporation by filing Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Merger will not be effective until the Articles of Merger between the acquisition subsidiary and Hyalozyme are filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and the California Secretary of State. We intend to file the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Articles of Merger twenty days after this information statement is first mailed to our shareholders. Our purpose in entering into the Merger, changing our name to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc., increasing our authorized common stock and authorizing preferred stock is to allow us to comply with the terms of an agreement we entered into with DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a California corporation ("HTI") to acquire and operate HTI as our wholly-owned subsidiary. We believe that the acquisition of HTI will increase our profitability and the total value of the corporation to our investors. No action is required by you. The accompanying information statement is furnished only to inform our shareholders of the action described above before it takes effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. This information statement is being mailed to you on or about February 17, 2004. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. COMPLETION OF THE MERGER TRANSACTION WILL RESULT IN A CHANGE IN CONTROL BY HYALOZYME AND AN ASSUMPTION OF HYALOZYME'S ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND OPERATIONS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPANY'S CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS HAVE VOTED TO APPROVE THE MERGER, NAME CHANGE, INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK AND AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK. THE NUMBER OF VOTES HELD BY THE CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS ARE SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT FOR THESE ACTIONS AND NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL CONSEQUENTLY BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THESE TRANSACTIONS. By order of the Board of Directors, /s/ Mitch Keeler ----------------------- Mitch Keeler, President San Diego, California February 17, 2004 2

Global Yacht Services, Inc. INFORMATION STATEMENT REGARDING ACTION TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF MAJORITY OF SHAREHOLDERS We are furnishing this shareholder information statement to you to provide you with information and a description of an action taken by written consent of our majority shareholder, on January 28, 2004, in accordance with the relevant Sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes. This action was taken by Mitch Keeler, our President, director and our majority shareholder, who owns in excess of the required majority of our outstanding common stock necessary for the adoption of the actions. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. This information statement is being mailed on or about February 17, 2004 to shareholders of record on February 5, 2004. The information statement is being delivered only to inform you of the corporate action described herein before it takes effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the common stock held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPANY'S CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS HAVE VOTED TO APPROVE THE MERGER, NAME CHANGE, INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK AND AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK. THE NUMBER OF VOTES HELD BY THE CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS IS SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT FOR THE MERGER, THE NAME CHANGE AND AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK AND NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL CONSEQUENTLY BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THESE ACTIONS. GENERAL On January 28, 2004, our Board of Directors unanimously approved, subject to shareholder approval, entering into the Merger with Hyalozyme, and the amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation to change our corporate name to "Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.," increase our authorized common stock and authorize a class of preferred stock. On January 28, 2004, Mitch Keeler, our President, director and shareholder who owns in excess of the required majority of our outstanding common stock necessary for the adoption of the action, approved the name change and authorization of preferred stock by action taken by written consent. The increase in authorized common stock to one hundred million (100,000,000) shares will allow us to comply with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The authorization of twenty million (20,000,000) shares preferred stock will allow us to issue preferred stock since we currently have only one class of stock authorized. The full text of the proposed Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A, the full text of the proposed Articles of Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit B and the full text of the proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit C. PURPOSE OF MERGER Our Board of Directors believes it is desirable to enter into the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Hyalozyme by means of forming an acquisition subsidiary and acquiring DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc. doing business as Hyalozyme Therapeutics, Inc., a privately held California corporation ("HTI") as our wholly-owned subsidiary. We believe that the acquisition of HTI will increase our profitability and the total value of the corporation to our investors. 3

PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF MERGER; VOTE REQUIRED Because the contemplated Merger is to be accomplished by our acquisition subsidiary, shareholder vote by our shareholders is not required by the Nevada Revised Statutes. However, because we are qualified to do business in California the transaction may be governed by the California Corporations Code which requires that such action be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. The Nevada Revised Statutes and California Corporations Code provides that any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. On February 5, 2004, the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to receive this Information Statement, there were 8,196,362 shares of common stock outstanding. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. We needed the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock to approve the name change. Our Board, by its unanimous written consent, adopted resolutions approving the Merger and the filing of the Certificate of Merger to consummate the transaction. By action of written consent, dated January 28, 2004, Mitch Keeler, our President, director and majority shareholder, who owns 4,275,000 shares, or 52.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, approved the Merger and the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State and the California Secretary of State. EFFECTIVE DATE OF MERGER The Certificate of Merger, attached hereto as Exhibit B, will become effective upon its filing with the Nevada Secretary of State and the California Secretary of State. We intend to file the Certificates of Merger twenty days after this Information Statement is first mailed to shareholders. PURPOSE OF CHANGE IN NAME OF THE CORPORATION, INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK AND AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK ON WHICH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAY SET THE DESIGNATIONS AND PREFERENCES Our Board of Directors believes it is desirable to change the name of the Company to "Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.," to increase our authorized common stock and to authorize the issuance of preferred stock on which our Board of Directors may set the preferences and designations. Our purpose in changing our name to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. reflects the fact that we entered into an agreement with DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a California corporation ("HTI") to acquire HTI as our wholly-owned subsidiary. The increase in authorized common stock to one hundred million (100,000,000) shares will allow us to comply with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The authorization of twenty million (20,000,000) shares preferred stock will allow us to issue preferred stock since we currently have only one class of stock authorized, and the authorization for the Board of Directors to set the preferences and designations on that preferred stock will allow such preferences and designations to be set without shareholder approval. We believe that these changes to our Articles and the acquisition of HTI will increase our profitability and the total value of the corporation to our investors, though there is no guarantee that these actions will have that result. PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF NAME CHANGE, INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK, AND AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK ON WHICH THE BOARD MAY SET PREFERENCES AND DESIGNATIONS; VOTE REQUIRED The Nevada Revised Statutes require that, in order for us to amend and restate our Articles of Incorporation, such amendment must be approved by our Board of Directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. The Nevada Revised Statutes also provides that any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. 4

On February 5, 2004, the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to receive this Information Statement, there were 8,196,362 shares of common stock outstanding. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Thus, we needed the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock , or 4,098,180 shares to approve the name change and authorization of preferred stock on which the Board of Directors may set the designations and preferences. Our Board, by its unanimous written consent, adopted resolutions approving the amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation to effect the name change and authorization of preferred stock on which the Board of Directors may set the designations and preferences. By action of written consent, dated January 28, 2004, Mitch Keeler, our President, director and majority shareholder, who owns 4,275,000 shares, or 52.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, approved the name change and authorization of preferred stock on which the Board of Directors may set the designations and preferences. EFFECTIVE DATE OF AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION The amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation will become effective upon the filing with the Nevada Secretary of State of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, attached hereto as Exhibit C. We intend to file the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation twenty days after this Information Statement is first mailed to shareholders. EFFECT ON CERTIFICATES EVIDENCING SHARES OF GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC. STOCK The change in the name of Global Yacht Services, Inc. will be reflected in its stock records by book-entry in Global Yacht Services, Inc.'s records. For those shareholders that hold physical certificates, please do not destroy or send to Global Yacht Services, Inc. your common stock certificates. Those certificates will remain valid for the number of shares shown thereon, and should be carefully preserved by you. DISSENTERS' RIGHTS Under Nevada law, a stockholder is entitled to dissent from, and obtain payment for the fair value of his or her shares (i) in the event of consummation of a plan of merger or plan of exchange in which the Nevada corporation is a constituent entity, and (ii) any corporate action taken pursuant to a vote of the stockholders to the extent that the articles of incorporation, by-laws or a resolution of the board of directors provides that voting or non-voting stockholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. The Nevada Revised Statutes does not provide for dissenters' right of appraisal in connection with the name change and authorization of preferred stock on which the Board of Directors may set the designations and preferences. INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Merger or name change which is not shared by all other shareholders of the Company.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET This summary term sheet does not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read the entire Information Statement and the Appendices, as well as the information we incorporate by reference. THE COMPANIES GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC., A NEVADA CORPORATION, ("GLOBAL YACHT"). Global Yacht was incorporated in Nevada on February 21, 2001. Global Yacht Services provides a broad range of yacht services in the global marketplace. Our services include yacht rental and charter, yacht sales and yacht services, such as the provision of captain, crew, supplies, maintenance, delivery as well as full-scale contracted care of yachts. Our president, Mitch Keeler, is an experienced captain and possesses a captain certification from the U.S. Coast Guard. Mr. Keeler provides professional advice and consultation for all aspects of yacht lease, purchase and ownership and is available for on site assistance anywhere in the world. We currently generate revenues from our charter services, which range from day charters to full week charters. We currently offer private yacht charters in San Diego, usually of up to one week in duration as well as corporate charters, which are typically 3 to 5 hours and short range. We have very few charters that are longer than one week, however, they do occur. Our officers act as captain and crew for our charter services, but we often utilize outside businesses for services such as catering and bartending. We have also generated revenues from our yacht management services and our delivery services. Yacht management services include managing the yacht for the owners including routine maintenance, repairs and electronics installation. Regular maintenance includes services such as exterior and interior cleaning, bottom cleaning, waxing and zinc replacement. Delivery services include delivering newly purchased yachts to various locations around the world. We use subcontractors on a per job basis for various services that we provide. Those subcontractors are paid by us when we are paid by the client. Subcontractors for our charter services may include, but are not limited to, the following: captains, deckhands, stewards, cooks, caterers, entertainment, and bartenders. Other subcontractors that we use include yacht repair persons and skilled electronics installers. However, upon recent analysis of operations to date, Global Yacht has decided to focus on evaluating other opportunities that may enhance stockholder value, including the acquisition of a product or technology, or pursuing a merger or acquisition of another business entity with long-term growth potential. Global Yacht's shares currently are listed for quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "GYHT" and the closing price of its shares of common stock on February 4, 2004 was $0.02 per share as reported on Yahoo! Finance. DELIATROPH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, DBA HYALOZYME THERAPEUTICS, INC. ("HYALOZYME"). Hyalozyme was incorporated in California on February 26, 1998. Hyalozyme is a product-focused biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic enzymes and drug enhancement systems, based on intellectual property covering the family of human enzymes known as hyaluronidases. Hyalozyme's first products are human synthetic formulations of a hyaluronidase enzyme that replaces current animal slaughterhouse-derived enzymes that carry risks of animal pathogen contamination and immunogenicity. These products are based on a highly versatile enzyme technology that has a wide range of therapeutic applications, and will enable Hyalozyme to help patients across multiple disease states while creating significant shareholder value. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, an acquisition subsidiary of Global Yacht Services will merge with and into Hyalozyme and the separate corporate existence of such acquisition subsidiary shall cease. Following the Merger, Global Yacht Services shall continue as the parent corporation of Hyalozyme, but will take the name "Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc." APPROVAL OF THIS MERGER WILL RESULT IN A CHANGE IN OUR CONTROL TO CONTROL BY HYALOZYME'S MANAGEMENT AND THE ASSUMPTION OF HYALOZYME'S OPERATIONS AND LIABILITIES. 7
DEFM14C8th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
PREEXISTING RELATIONSHIPS Hyalozyme and Global Yacht did not have any preexisting relationship prior to entering into the Merger Agreement. To the best of our knowledge, none of Global Yacht's shareholders hold shares of Hyalozyme nor do any of the stockholders of Hyalozyme hold shares of Global Yacht Services. STRUCTURE OF THE MERGER At the effective time of the Merger: o Global Yacht will merge its acquisition subsidiary with and into Hyalozyme and the separate corporate existence of the acquisition subsidiary shall cease; o Global Yacht will issue 34,999,701 shares of its restricted common stock, 6,886,807 options and 11,758,460 warrants to purchase additional shares of its restricted common stock to the shareholders of Hyalozyme in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and corresponding options and warrants to purchase shares of Hyalozyme's common stock; and o A total of 4,296,375 shares of Global Yacht's current outstanding common stock will be tendered for redemption by Global Yacht in exchange for $43,000 or $0.01 per share. As a result of the Merger, Global Yacht shall be the parent corporation of the acquisition subsidiary which shall continue as the surviving corporation and the shareholders of Hyalozyme will become stockholders of Global Yacht. The remaining stockholders of Global Yacht will own approximately 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Yacht common stock, based on 38,899,688 Global Yacht shares outstanding after the Merger. The remaining shareholders of Global Yacht would own approximately 6.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Yacht common stock if all 6,886,807 options and 11,758,460 warrants to purchase restricted shares of Global Yacht's common stock acquired pursuant to the Merger are exercised, which would result in 57,544,955 shares of common stock outstanding. On January 28, 2004, pursuant to an investment completed simultaneously with the Merger, Hyalozyme raised approximately $8.1 million. We are relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") in regard to the shares we anticipate issuing pursuant to the Merger. We believe this offering qualifies as a "business combination" as defined by Rule 501(d). Reliance on Rule 506 requires that there are no more than 35 non-accredited purchasers of securities from the issuer in an offering under Rule 506. Hyalozyme has represented to us that all of their stockholders have certified to Hyalozyme that they are "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Hyalozyme also has represented to us that there has been no advertising or general solicitation in connection with this transaction. GLOBAL YACHT'S REASONS FOR THE MERGER Global Yacht's board of directors considered various factors in approving the Merger and the Merger Agreement, including: 8
DEFM14C9th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
o its inability to expand its current level of operations; o the available technical, financial and managerial resources possessed by Hyalozyme; o prospects for the future; o the quality and experience of management services available and the depth of Hyalozyme management; o Hyalozyme's potential for growth or expansion; o Hyalozyme's profit potential; and o an anticipated increase in stockholder value as a result of the Merger. Global Yacht's board of directors considered various factors, but primarily that Global Yacht's management has not been able to expand Global Yacht's operations to profitability. In considering the Merger with Hyalozyme, Global Yacht's board of directors anticipated that this lack of profitability was likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Given those circumstances, Global Yacht's board decided that the best course of action for Global Yacht and its shareholders was to enter into and conclude the proposed Merger with Hyalozyme, after which Global Yacht's management would resign. In agreeing to the Merger, Global Yacht's board hoped that by relinquishing control to Hyalozyme's management and adopting Hyalozyme's assets and operations, that such a move would eventually add value to Global Yacht and the interests of its shareholders. Global Yacht's board of directors reached this conclusion after analyzing Hyalozyme's operations, technical assets, intellectual property and managerial resources, which are described in more detail below and believes that acquiring Hyalozyme's potential for profitable operations by means of the Merger was the best opportunity to increase value to Global Yacht's shareholders. Global Yacht's board of directors did not request a fairness opinion in connection with the Merger. HYALOZYME'S REASONS FOR THE MERGER Hyalozyme's board of directors considered various factors in approving the Merger and the Merger Agreement, including: o the increased market liquidity expected to result from exchanging stock in a private company for publicly traded securities of Global Yacht; o the ability to use registered securities to make acquisition of assets or businesses; o increased visibility in the financial community; o enhanced access to the capital markets; o improved transparency of operations; and o perceived credibility and enhanced corporate image of being a publicly traded company. Hyalozyme's board of directors did not request a fairness opinion in connection with the Merger. 9
DEFM14C10th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
RISK FACTORS The Merger entails several risks, including: o Upon completion of the Merger, we will assume Hyalozyme's plan of operation, which is anticipated to require substantial additional funds to fully implement. Hyalozyme's management anticipates that after giving effect to the Merger, substantial additional funds will be required to implement its business plan. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in raising such additional capital. o Our current stockholders will be diluted by the shares issued as part of the Merger and may be diluted by future issuances of shares to satisfy our working capital needs. Even though 4,296,375 shares held by certain of our shareholders will be redeemed, we are issuing 34,999,701 shares of our common stock, along with 6,886,807 options and 11,758,460 warrants to purchase additional shares of our common stock to the shareholders in Hyalozyme as part of the Merger. The above issuances, along with anticipated issuances to raise working capital, will reduce the percentage ownership of our stockholders. o The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the Merger if the integration of the Global Yacht and Hyalozyme businesses is unsuccessful. o The stockholders of Hyalozyme will own approximately 90% of our common stock following completion of the Merger, even if none of the 6,886,807 options or 11,758,460 warrants to purchase our common stock are exercised, which will limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters. RISKS RELATED TO HYALOZYME'S BUSINESS IF HYALOZYME DOES NOT RECEIVE AND MAINTAIN REGULATORY APPROVALS FOR ITS PRODUCT CANDIDATES, HYALOZYME WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMMERCIALIZE ITS PRODUCTS, WHICH WOULD SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIR ITS ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES AND MATERIALLY HARM ITS BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. None of Hyalozyme's product candidates has received regulatory approval from the FDA. Approval from the FDA is necessary to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products in the United States. Many other countries including major European countries and Japan have similar requirements. The 510(k) and NDA processes are extensive, time-consuming and costly, and there is no guarantee that the FDA will approve 510(k)s or NDAs for any of Hyalozyme's product candidates, or that the timing of any such approval will be appropriate for its product launch schedule and other business priorities, which are subject to change. Clinical testing of pharmaceutical products is also a long, expensive and uncertain process. Even if initial results of preclinical studies or clinical trial results are positive, Hyalozyme may obtain different results in later stages of drug development, including failure to show desired safety and efficacy. The clinical trials of any of Hyalozyme's product candidates could be unsuccessful, which would prevent it from obtaining regulatory approval and commercializing the product. FDA approval can be delayed, limited or not granted for many reasons, including, among others: 10
DEFM14C11th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
o FDA officials may not find a product candidate safe or effective to merit an approval; o FDA officials may not find that the data from preclinical testing and clinical trials justifies approval, or they may require additional studies that would make it commercially unattractive to continue pursuit of approval; o the FDA might not approve Hyalozyme's manufacturing processes or facilities, or the processes or facilities of its contract manufacturers or raw material suppliers; o the FDA may change its approval policies or adopt new regulations; and o the FDA may approve a product candidate for indications that are narrow or under conditions that place our product at a competitive disadvantage, which may limit Hyalozyme's sales and marketing activities or otherwise adversely impact the commercial potential of a product; If the FDA does not approve Hyalozyme's product candidates in a timely fashion on commercially viable terms or Hyalozyme terminates development of any of its product candidates due to difficulties or delays encountered in the regulatory approval process, it will have a material adverse impact on Hyalozyme's business and Hyalozyme will be dependent on the development of its other product candidates and/or our ability to successfully acquire other products and technologies. In addition, Hyalozyme intends to market certain of its products, and perhaps have certain of its products manufactured, in foreign countries. The process of obtaining approvals in foreign countries is subject to delay and failure for similar reasons. IF HYALOZYME PRODUCT CANDIDATES ARE APPROVED BY THE FDA BUT DO NOT GAIN MARKET ACCEPTANCE, ITS BUSINESS WILL SUFFER BECAUSE HYALOZYME MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FUND FUTURE OPERATIONS. A number of factors may affect the market acceptance of any of Hyalozyme's existing products or any other products it develops or acquire in the future, including, among others: o the price of Hyalozyme's products relative to other therapies for the same or similar treatments; o the perception by patients, physicians and other members of the health care community of the effectiveness and safety of Hyalozyme's products for their prescribed treatments; o Hyalozyme's ability to fund its sales and marketing efforts; o the effectiveness of Hyalozyme's sales and marketing efforts; and o the introduction of generic competitors. In addition, Hyalozyme's ability to market and promote its products will be restricted to the labels approved by the FDA. If the approved labels are restrictive, Hyalozyme's sales and marketing efforts, as well as market acceptance and the commercial potential of its products may be negatively affected. If Hyalozyme's products do not gain market acceptance, Hyalozyme may not be able to fund future operations, including the development or acquisition of new product candidates and/or its sales and marketing efforts for its approved products, which would cause its business to suffer. 11

IF HYALOZYME IS UNABLE TO SUFFICIENTLY DEVELOP ITS SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION CAPABILITIES OR ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD PARTIES TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS, HYALOZYME WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMMERCIALIZE PRODUCTS. Hyalozyme is currently in the process of developing its sales, marketing and distribution capabilities. However, Hyalozyme's current capabilities in these areas are limited. In order to commercialize any products successfully, Hyalozyme must internally develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, or establish collaborations or other arrangements with third parties to perform these services. Hyalozyme does not have extensive experience in these areas, and it may not be able to establish adequate in-house sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or engage and effectively manage relationships with third parties to perform any or all of such services. To the extent that Hyalozyme enters into co-promotion or other licensing arrangements, its product revenues are likely to be lower than if it directly marketed and sold its products, and any revenues it receives will depend upon the efforts of third parties, whose efforts may not be successful. HYALOZYME HAS NOT GENERATED ANY REVENUE FROM PRODUCT SALES TO DATE; IT HAS A HISTORY OF NET LOSSES AND NEGATIVE CASH FLOW, AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE OR MAINTAIN PROFITABILITY. Hyalozyme has not generated any revenue from product sales to date and may never generate revenues from product sales in the future. Even if Hyalozyme does achieve significant revenues from product sales, it expects to incur significant operating losses over the next several years. Hyalozyme has never been profitable, and may never become profitable. Hyalozyme will need to raise additional capital during the next twelve months, particularly if it obtains FDA approval for any of its products. If Hyalozyme engages in acquisitions of companies, products, or technology in order to execute its business strategy, it may need to raise additional capital. Hyalozyme may be required to raise additional capital in the future through collaborative agreements, Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") financings, and various other equity or debt financings. If Hyalozyme is required to raise additional capital in the future there can be no assurance that the additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. IF HYALOZYME HAS PROBLEMS WITH ITS SOLE CONTRACT MANUFACTURER, ITS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS FOR ITS PRODUCT CANDIDATES COULD BE DELAYED OR STOPPED. Hyalozyme has signed an agreement with a contract manufacturing organization to produce bulk recombinant enzyme product for clinical use. Hyalozyme's contract manufacturer will produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient under cGMP's for commercial scale validation and will provide support for chemistry, manufacturing and controls sections for FDA regulatory filings. Hyalozyme has not established and may not be able to establish arrangements with additional manufacturers for these ingredients or products should the existing supplies become unavailable or in the event that its sole contract manufacturer is unable to adequately perform its responsibilities. Difficulties in Hyalozyme's relationship with its manufacturer or delays or interruptions in such manufacturer's supply of its requirements could limit or stop its ability to provide sufficient quantities of its products, on a timely basis, for clinical trials and, if Hyalozyme's products are approved, could limit or stop commercial sales, which would have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition. HYALOZYME'S INABILITY TO RETAIN KEY MANAGEMENT AND SCIENTIFIC PERSONNEL COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT ITS BUSINESS. Hyalozyme's success depends on the performance of key management and scientific employees with biotech experience. Given its small staff size and programs currently under development, Hyalozyme depends substantially on its ability to hire, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel, especially its scientists and management team in this field. If Hyalozyme were to lose one or more of its key scientists, then it would likely lose some portion of its institutional knowledge and technical know-how, potentially causing a substantial delay in one or more of its development programs until adequate replacement personnel could be hired and trained. 12

RISKS RELATED TO HYALOZYME'S INDUSTRY COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS TO WHICH HYALOZYME IS SUBJECT IS EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING, AND MAY RESULT IN THE DELAY OR CANCELLATION OF PRODUCT SALES, INTRODUCTIONS OR MODIFICATIONS. Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on Hyalozyme's business. All pharmaceutical companies, including Hyalozyme, are subject to extensive, complex, costly and evolving regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA and to a lesser extent by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA"), and foreign and state government agencies. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act and other domestic and foreign statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record keeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of our products. Under certain of these regulations, Hyalozyme and its contract suppliers and manufacturers are subject to periodic inspection of its or their respective facilities, procedures and operations and/or the testing of products by the FDA, the DEA and other authorities, which conduct periodic inspections to confirm that Hyalozyme and its contract suppliers and manufacturers are in compliance with all applicable regulations. The FDA also conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether Hyalozyme's systems, or its contract suppliers' and manufacturers' processes, are in compliance with cGMP and other FDA regulations. In addition, the FDA imposes a number of complex regulatory requirements on entities that advertise and promote pharmaceuticals, including, but not limited to, standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities, and promotional activities involving the Internet. Hyalozyme is dependent on receiving FDA and other governmental approvals prior to manufacturing, marketing and shipping its products. Consequently, there is always a risk that the FDA or other applicable governmental authorities will not approve Hyalozyme's products, or will take post-approval action limiting or revoking its ability to sell its products, or that the rate, timing and cost of such approvals will adversely affect its product introduction plans or results of operations. HYALOZYME'S SUPPLIERS AND SOLE MANUFACTURER ARE SUBJECT TO REGULATION BY THE FDA AND OTHER AGENCIES, AND IF THEY DO NOT MEET THEIR COMMITMENTS, HYALOZYME WOULD HAVE TO FIND SUBSTITUTE SUPPLIERS OR MANUFACTURERS, WHICH COULD DELAY THE SUPPLY OF ITS PRODUCTS TO MARKET. Regulatory requirements applicable to pharmaceutical products make the substitution of suppliers and manufacturers costly and time consuming. Hyalozyme has no internal manufacturing capabilities and is, and expects to be in the future, entirely dependent on contract manufacturers and suppliers for the manufacture of its products and for their active and other ingredients. The disqualification of these suppliers through their failure to comply with regulatory requirements could negatively impact Hyalozyme's business because the delays and costs in obtaining and qualifying alternate suppliers (if such alternative suppliers are available, which Hyalozyme cannot assure) could delay clinical trials or otherwise inhibit Hyalozyme's ability to bring approved products to market, which would have a material adverse affect on Hyalozyme's business and financial condition. HYALOZYME MAY BE REQUIRED TO INITIATE OR DEFEND AGAINST LEGAL PROCEEDINGS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE, DELAY AND/OR CESSATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF ITS PRODUCTS. Hyalozyme relies on patents to protect its intellectual property rights. The strength of this protection, however, is uncertain. For example, it is not certain that: 13
DEFM14C14th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
o Hyalozyme's patents and pending patent applications cover products and/or technology that it invented first; o Hyalozyme was the first to file patent applications for these inventions; o others will not independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate Hyalozyme's technologies; o any of Hyalozyme's pending patent applications will result in issued patents; and o any of Hyalozyme's issued patents, or patent pending applications that result in issued patents, will be held valid and infringed in the event the patents are asserted against others. Hyalozyme currently owns or licenses several U.S. and foreign patents and also has pending patent applications. There can be no assurance that Hyalozyme's existing patents, or any patents issued to it as a result of such applications, will provide a basis for commercially viable products, will provide Hyalozyme with any competitive advantages, or will not face third-party challenges or be the subject of further proceedings limiting their scope or enforceability. Hyalozyme may become involved in interference proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to determine the priority of Hyalozyme's inventions. In addition, costly litigation could be necessary to protect Hyalozyme's patent position. Hyalozyme also relies on trademarks to protect the names of its products. These trademarks may be challenged by others. If Hyalozyme enforces its trademarks against third parties, such enforcement proceedings may be expensive. Hyalozyme also relies on trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation that it seeks to protect with confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and others with whom Hyalozyme discusses its business. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability or enforceability of these agreements, and Hyalozyme might not be able to resolve these disputes in its favor. In addition to protecting Hyalozyme's own intellectual property rights, third parties may assert patent, trademark or copyright infringement or other intellectual property claims against Hyalozyme based on what they believe are their own intellectual property rights. Hyalozyme may be required to pay substantial damages, including but not limited to treble damages, for past infringement if it is ultimately determined that its products infringe a third party's intellectual property rights. Even if infringement claims against Hyalozyme are without merit, defending a lawsuit takes significant time, may be expensive and may divert management's attention from other business concerns. Further, Hyalozyme may be stopped from developing, manufacturing or selling its products until it obtains a license from the owner of the relevant technology or other intellectual property rights. If such a license is available at all, it may require Hyalozyme to pay substantial royalties or other fees. IF THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE, HYALOZYME'S PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED IN THE MARKET. Hyalozyme's ability to earn sufficient returns on its products will depend in part on the extent to which reimbursement for its products and related treatments will be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers, managed care organizations and other healthcare providers. Third-party payers are increasingly attempting to limit both the coverage and the level of reimbursement of new drug products to contain costs. Consequently, significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. If Hyalozyme succeeds in bringing one or more of its product candidates to market, third-party payers may not establish adequate levels of reimbursement for its products, which could limit their market acceptance and result in a material adverse effect on Hyalozyme's financial condition. 14

HYALOZYME FACES INTENSE COMPETITION AND RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE THAT COULD RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTS BY OTHERS THAT ARE SUPERIOR TO THE PRODUCTS HYALOZYME IS DEVELOPING. Hyalozyme has numerous competitors in the United States and abroad, including, among others, major pharmaceutical and specialized biotechnology firms, universities and other research institutions that may be developing competing products. Such competitors may include Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Ista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Alcon Laboratories, Inc., among others. These competitors may develop technologies and products that are more effective or less costly than Hyalozyme's current or future product candidates or that could render its technologies and product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive. Many of these competitors have substantially more resources and product development, manufacturing and marketing experience and capabilities than Hyalozyme does. In addition, many of Hyalozyme's competitors have significantly greater experience than Hyalozyme does in undertaking preclinical testing and clinical trials of pharmaceutical product candidates and obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of products and therapies for use in healthcare. HYALOZYME IS EXPOSED TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS, AND INSURANCE AGAINST THESE CLAIMS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO IT ON REASONABLE TERMS OR AT ALL. Hyalozyme might incur substantial liability in connection with clinical trials or the sale of its products. Product liability insurance is expensive and in the future may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. A successful claim or claims brought against Hyalozyme in excess of its insurance coverage could materially harm its business and financial condition.

INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS IN THE MERGER Some of the directors and executive officers of Hyalozyme have interests in the Merger that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of their shareholders. These interests include positions as directors or executive officers of Global Yacht following the Merger, potential benefits under employment or benefit arrangements as a result of the Merger, and potential severance and other benefit payments in the event of termination of employment following the Merger. On January 8, 2004, Hyalozyme's directors, executive officers and their affiliates owned approximately 36.85% of Hyalozyme common stock entitled to vote on adoption of the Merger Agreement. The board of Global Yacht was aware of these interests and considered them in approving the Merger. ANTICIPATED OPERATIONS FOLLOWING THE MERGER HYALOZYME'S BACKGROUND. Hyalozyme was incorporated in California on February 26, 1998, as DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc. After completing the Merger, Global Yacht will assume Hyalozyme's business operations, including their assets and liabilities as the parent corporation of the acquisition subsidiary into which Hyalozyme will merge. Hyalozyme is a product-focused biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic enzymes and drug enhancement systems, based on intellectual property covering the family of human enzymes known as hyaluronidases. Hyalozyme's first products are human synthetic formulations of a hyaluronidase enzyme that replaces current animal slaughterhouse-derived enzymes that carry risks of animal pathogen contamination and immunogenicity. These products are based on a highly versatile enzyme technology that Hyalozyme's management believes has a wide range of therapeutic applications, and which Hyalozyme's management anticipates will enable Hyalozyme to help patients across multiple disease states while creating significant shareholder value. 20
DEFM14C21st Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
PRODUCTS/SERVICES. Hyalozyme's patented technology is based on recombinant human PH20 (rHuPH20), a human synthetic hyaluronidase that degrades hyaluronic acid (HA), a space-filling "cement"-like substance that is a major component of tissues throughout the body (e.g., skin, cartilage). The PH20 enzyme is a naturally occurring enzyme that digests HA to break down the cement, thereby facilitating the penetration and diffusion of other drugs that are injected subcutaneously (i.e., in the skin) or intramuscularly (i.e., in the muscle). Hyalozyme has two product candidates it is currently focusing on: o CUMULASEO-IVF is an ex vivo formulation of rHuPH20 to replace the bovine enzyme currently used for the preparation of oocytes prior to IVF and cryopreservation during the process of ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), in which the enzyme is an essential component. The FDA considers hyaluronidase IVF products to be medical devices subject to 510K approval. Hyalozyme believes the total CumulaseO-IVF market consists of nearly 500,000 ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) cycles worldwide in 2004. o OPTIPHASEO is a low unit, fast-acting local formulation of rHuPH20 to replace Wydase(R), Wyeth's discontinued bovine enzyme previously used for over 50 years as a drug delivery agent to enhance diffusion of local anesthesia for ophthalmic surgery (mostly cataract surgery). Hyalozyme believes the total OptiphaseO market consists of approximately 6.4 million local anesthesia procedures (or 45% of the 14.3 million total estimated cataract surgery procedures) worldwide in 2004. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The success of Hyalozyme's business will depend, in part, on its ability to obtain patent protection for its inventions, to preserve its trade secrets and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Hyalozyme's strategy is to actively pursue patent protection in the United States and foreign jurisdictions for technology that it believes to be proprietary and that offers a potential competitive advantage for its inventions. To date, Hyalozyme has licensed issued and pending US and International Patents, as well as filed new patent applications for novel compositions, formulations and uses of mammalian hyaluronidases. In addition to patents, Hyalozyme relies on trade secrets and proprietary know-how. Hyalozyme seeks protection of these trade secrets and proprietary know-how, in part, through confidentiality and proprietary information agreements. Hyalozyme makes efforts to require its employees, directors, consultants and advisors, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers, other advisors and other individuals and entities, to execute confidentiality agreements upon the start of employment, consulting or other contractual relationships with them. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual or entity during the course of the relationship is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances. In the case of employees and some other parties, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived by the individual will be the exclusive property of Hyalozyme. These agreements may not provide meaningful protection for or adequate remedies to protect its technology in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of information. Furthermore, Hyalozyme's trade secrets may otherwise become known to, or be independently developed by, its competitors. In addition, the approval process for patent applications in foreign countries may differ significantly from the process in the U.S. The patent authorities in each country administer that country's laws and regulations relating to patents independently of the laws and regulations of any other country, and the patents must be sought and obtained separately. Therefore, approval in one country does not necessarily indicate that approval can be obtained in other countries. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in foreign countries regulate extensively the manufacture and sale of the pharmaceutical products that Hyalozyme currently is developing. The FDA has established guidelines and safety standards that are applicable to the nonclinical evaluation and clinical investigation of therapeutic products and stringent regulations that govern the manufacture and sale of these products. The process of obtaining FDA approval for a new therapeutic product usually requires a significant amount of time and substantial resources. The steps typically required before a product can be produced and marketed for human use include: 1) nonclinical pharmacological studies to obtain preliminary information on the safety and efficacy of a drug; and 2) nonclinical evaluation in vitro and in vivo, including extensive toxicology. 21
DEFM14C22nd Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 22nd
The results of these nonclinical studies may be submitted to the FDA as part of an investigational new drug application. The sponsor of an investigational new drug application may commence human testing of the compound only after being notified by the FDA that the agency has activated the investigational new drug application, which usually occurs within 30 days of submission of the application. The clinical testing program for a drug typically involves three phases: o Phase 1 investigations are generally conducted in healthy subjects. In certain instances, subjects with a terminal disease, such as cancer, may participate in Phase 1 studies that determine the maximum tolerated dose and initial safety of the product; o Phase 2 studies are conducted in limited numbers of subjects with the disease or condition to be treated and are aimed at determining the most effective dose and schedule of administration, evaluating both safety and whether the product demonstrates therapeutic effectiveness against the disease; and o Phase 3 studies involve large, well-controlled investigations in diseased subjects and are aimed at verifying the safety and effectiveness of the drug. Data from all clinical studies, as well as all nonclinical studies and evidence of product quality, typically are submitted to the FDA in a new drug application. The FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) or the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) must approve a new drug application or biologics license application for a drug before the drug may be marketed in the U.S. At the time, if ever, that Hyalozyme begins to market its proposed products for commercial sale in the U.S., any manufacturing operations that may be established in or outside the U.S. will be subject to rigorous regulation, including compliance with current good manufacturing practices. Hyalozyme also may be subject to regulation under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Export Control Act and other present and future laws of general application. In addition, the handling, care and use of laboratory mice, including the hu-PBL-SCID mice and rats, are subject to the Guidelines for the Humane Use and Care of Laboratory Animals published by the National Institutes of Health. INTERNATIONAL. For marketing outside the United States, Hyalozyme is also subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for pharmaceutical products. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product approval, pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country. Whether or not FDA approval has been obtained, approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries must be obtained before manufacturing or marketing the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country and the time required for such approvals may differ substantially from that required for FDA approval. Hyalozyme's management cannot give assurance that clinical trials conducted in one country will be accepted by other countries or that approval in one country will result in approval in any other country. For clinical trials conducted outside the United States, the clinical stages are generally comparable to the phases of clinical development established by the FDA. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Since its inception, Hyalozyme has made substantial investments in research and development. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and from the period February 26, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 2003, Hyalozyme spent $1.1 million, $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, on research and development activities. EMPLOYEES. At February 5, 2004, Hyalozyme employed 13 full-time employees. Approximately 9 of its employees are involved in research and clinical development activities. Four of Hyalozyme's employees hold Ph.D. or M.D. degrees. Hyalozyme believes that its relationship with its employees is good. FACILITIES. Hyalozyme's administrative offices and research facilities are located in San Diego, California. Hyalozyme leases approximately 5,700 square feet of office space which is adequate for its purposes for the next twelve to eighteen months. The lease expires on June 30, 2005. 22

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. From time to time, Hyalozyme may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. Hyalozyme currently is not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in its management's opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. ANTICIPATED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FOLLOWING THE MERGER We will assume Hyalozyme's assets and liabilities following the Merger. Hyalozyme's management anticipates that after giving effect to the Merger, substantial additional capital will be required to implement its business plan. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution and such securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund expansion, take advantage of unanticipated acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services or products or respond to competitive pressures. Such inability could harm its business, results of operations and financial condition. WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO COMPLETE THE MERGER Global Yacht and Hyalozyme will complete the Merger only if the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement are satisfied or, in some cases, waived. These conditions include: o the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of the stockholders of Global Yacht and Hyalozyme; o no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by any United States court or Governmental Entity which prohibits, restrains, enjoins or restricts the consummation of the Merger; o accuracy of each company's representations and warranties; o performance by each company of its obligations under the Merger Agreement; and o the mailing of this information to all Global Yacht stockholders as of the record date. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Some statements in this Information Statement contain certain "forward-looking" statements of management of Global Yacht. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "shall," "could," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "predict," "probable," "possible," "should," "continue," or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guarantee, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking 23

statements. We cannot guarantee that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION GLOBAL YACHT AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of Global Yacht as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and are contained in Global Yacht's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002 which is included in this document as Exhibit E. These financial statements have been audited by Hall & Company, independent auditors. You are encouraged to review the financial statements, related notes and other information included elsewhere in this filing. HYALOZYME'S PLAN OF OPERATIONS REVENUES. Hyalozyme has generated no revenues since its inception on February 26, 1998, and does not anticipate generating revenues before the last quarter of fiscal 2004. However, no assurances can be given as to the recognition of any revenues in fiscal 2004. EXPENSES. Hyalozyme has generated net losses of $4.0 million from its inception through December 31, 2003. These losses are primarily due to research and development expenses of $2.4 million, general and administrative expenses of $1.2 million, and interest expense of $.4 million. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Hyalozyme has used $3.0 million net cash in its operating activities and purchased equipment for $.3 million from its inception through December 31, 2003. It has financed its operating and investing activities by raising $3.8 million in cash from the issuance of notes of $1.3 million, common stock of $.1 million, and preferred stock of $2.4 million. While Hyalozyme has $.5 million cash at December 31, 2003, additional financing is required in order to execute its business plan. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to Hyalozyme or at all. On January 28, 2004, pursuant to an investment completed simultaneously with the Merger, Hyalozyme raised approximately $8.1 million. By adjusting its operations and development to the level of capitalization, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits during 2004. However, if during that period or thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. MERGER. On January 28, 2004, Hyalzoyme entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Global Yacht Services, Inc., a publicly traded Nevada corporation ("Global Yacht"), Hyalozyme Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Global Yacht (the "Merger Sub") and certain other parties. The Merger Agreement will provide for Merger Sub to merge with and into Hyalozyme with Hyalozyme remaining as the surviving corporation (the "Merger") and becoming a public company. See Exhibit A, the Merger Agreement, for a detailed discussion of the terms and conditions of the Merger. PATENTS. Hyalozyme currently owns or licenses several U.S. and foreign patents and also has pending patent applications. There can be no assurance that Hyalozyme's existing patents, or any patents issued to it as a result of such applications, will provide a basis for commercially viable products, will provide Hyalozyme with any competitive advantages, or will not face third-party challenges or be the subject of further proceedings limiting their scope or enforceability. EMPLOYEES. At February 5, 2004, Hyalozyme employed 13 full-time employees. Approximately 9 of its employees are involved in research and clinical development activities. Four of Hyalozyme's employees hold Ph.D. or M.D. degrees. Hyalozyme anticipates hiring 5 to 10 additional employees by the end of 2004. 24

We are providing above financial and other information for informational purposes only. It does not necessarily represent or indicate what the financial position and results of operations of Global Yacht will be once the Merger is concluded. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Global Yacht will furnish without charge to any stockholder, upon written or oral request, any documents filed by Global Yacht pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act. Requests for such documents should be addressed to Global Yacht, Inc., 7710 Hazard Center Drive, Suite E-415, San Diego, California 92108. Documents filed by Global Yacht pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act may be reviewed and/or obtained through the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System, which is publicly available through the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site (http://www.sec.gov). DISSENTERS' RIGHTS We do not believe that the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") provide dissenters' rights with respect to the Merger. However, it may be determined that as an owner of Global Yacht common stock, you do have the right to dissent from this Merger and obtain cash payment for the "fair value" of your shares, as determined in accordance with the NRS. In the event that it is determined that you do have the right to dissent, below is a description of the steps you must take if you wish to exercise dissenters' rights with respect to the Merger under NRS Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500, the Nevada dissenters' rights statute. The text of the statute is set forth in Exhibit D. This description is not intended to be complete. If you are considering exercising your dissenters' rights, you should review NRS Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500 carefully, particularly the steps required to perfect dissenters' rights. Failure to take any one of the required steps may result in termination of your dissenters' rights under Nevada law. If you are considering dissenting, you should consult with your own legal advisor. To exercise your right to dissent, you must: o before the effective date of the Merger, deliver written notice to us at Global Yacht, Inc., 7710 Hazard Center Drive, Suite E-415, San Diego, California 92108, Attn: Corporate Secretary, stating that you intend to demand payment for your shares if the Merger is completed; and o not vote your shares in favor of the Merger, either by proxy or in person. If you satisfy those conditions, we will send you a written dissenter's notice within 10 days after the Merger is effective. This dissenter's notice will: o specify where you should send your payment demand and where and when you must deposit your stock certificates, if any; o inform holders of uncertificated shares to what extent the transfer of their shares will be restricted after their payment demand is received; o supply a form of payment demand that includes the date the Merger was first publicly announced and the date by which you must have acquired beneficial ownership of your shares in order to dissent; o set a date by when we must receive the payment demand, which may not be less than 30 or more than 60 days after the date the dissenters' notice is delivered; and o provide you a copy of Nevada's dissenters' rights statute. After you have received a dissenter's notice, if you still wish to exercise your dissenters' rights, you must: 26
DEFM14C27th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 27th
o demand payment either through the delivery of the payment demand form to be provided or other comparable means; o certify whether you have acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before the date set forth in the dissenter's notice; and o deposit your certificates, if any, in accordance with the terms of the dissenter's notice. FAILURE TO DEMAND PAYMENT IN THE PROPER FORM OR DEPOSIT YOUR CERTIFICATES AS DESCRIBED IN THE DISSENTER'S NOTICE WILL TERMINATE YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR YOUR SHARES PURSUANT TO NEVADA'S DISSENTERS' RIGHTS STATUTE. YOUR RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THOSE RIGHTS ARE CANCELED OR MODIFIED BY THE COMPLETION OF THE MERGER. Within 30 days after receiving your properly executed payment demand, we will pay you what we determine to be the fair value of your shares, plus accrued interest (computed from the effective date of the Merger until the date of payment). The payment will be accompanied by: o our balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year ended not more than 16 months before the date of payment, an income statement for that year, a statement of changes in stockholders' equity for that year, and the latest available interim financial statements, if any; o an explanation of how we estimated the fair value of the shares and how the interest was calculated; o information regarding your right to challenge the estimated fair value; and o a copy of Nevada's dissenters' rights statute. We may elect to withhold payment from you if you became the beneficial owner of the shares on or after the date set forth in the dissenter's notice. If we withhold payment, after the consummation of the Merger, we will estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and offer to pay this amount to you in full satisfaction of your demand. The offer will contain a statement of our estimate of the fair value, an explanation of how the interest was calculated, and a statement of dissenters' rights to demand payment under NRS Section 92A.480. If you believe that the amount we pay in exchange for your dissenting shares is less than the fair value of your shares or that the interest is not correctly determined, you can demand payment of the difference between your estimate and ours. You must make such demand within 30 days after we have made or offered payment; otherwise, your right to challenge our calculation of fair value terminates. If there is still disagreement about the fair market value within 60 days after we receive your demand, we will petition the District Court of Clark County, Nevada to determine the fair value of the shares and the accrued interest. If we do not commence such legal action within the 60-day period, we will have to pay the amount demanded for all unsettled demands. All dissenters whose demands remain unsettled will be made parties to the proceeding, and are entitled to a judgment for either: o the amount of the fair value of the shares, plus interest, in excess of the amount we paid; or o the fair value, plus accrued interest, of the after-acquired shares for which we withheld payment. We will pay the costs and expenses of the court proceeding, unless the court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or in bad faith, in which case the costs will be equitably distributed. Attorney fees will be divided as the court considers equitable. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS REQUIRED BY NRS SECTIONS 92A.400 THROUGH 92A.480 FOR PERFECTING DISSENTERS' RIGHTS MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF SUCH RIGHTS. IF DISSENTERS' RIGHTS ARE NOT PERFECTED, YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE CONSIDERATION RECEIVABLE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MERGER AGREEMENT. IN 27

PART I Item 1. Description of Business. -------------------------------- Our Background. We were incorporated in Nevada on February 21, 2001. Our Business. We provide a broad range of yacht services in the global marketplace. Our services include yacht rental and charter, yacht sales and yacht services, such as the provision of captain, crew, supplies, maintenance, delivery as well as full-scale contracted care of yachts. Our president, Mitch Keeler, is an experienced captain and possesses a captain certification from the U.S. Coast Guard. Mr. Keeler provides professional advice and consultation for all aspects of yacht lease, purchase and ownership and is available for on site assistance anywhere in the world. We currently generate revenues from our charter services, which range from day charters to full week charters. We currently offer private yacht charters in San Diego, usually of up to one week in duration as well as corporate charters, which are typically 3 to 5 hours and short range. We have very few charters that are longer than one week, however, they do occur. Our officers act as captain and crew for our charter services, but we often utilize outside businesses for services such as catering and bartending. For those charter services, Mr. Keeler did not get paid or reimbursed for providing the use of his yacht. We do not believe that there are limitations on our use of Mr. Keeler's yacht in the future, although Mr. Keeler has not made any formal commitment to provide us with the use of his yacht at no charge. We anticipate that Mr. Keeler will not expect to be paid or reimbursed for providing the use of his yacht as long as he is our president and maintains a significant equity interest in us. We also have arrangements with four yacht charter companies, which provide that we may use their yachts for our charter services. Those arrangements provide that we can rent those companies' yachts for fixed daily and hourly rental fees ranging from $300 per hour to $3000 per day depending on the size of the yacht. We cannot guaranty that those yachts will be available in the event that we need to rent those yachts to provide our services. We have also generated revenues from our yacht management services and our delivery services. Yacht management services include managing the yacht for the owners including routine maintenance, repairs and electronics installation. Regular maintenance includes services such as exterior and interior cleaning, bottom cleaning, waxing and zinc replacement. Delivery services include delivering newly purchased yachts to various locations around the world. We use subcontractors on a per job basis for various services that we provide. Those subcontractors are paid by us when we are paid by the client. Subcontractors for our charter services may include, but are not limited to, the following: captains, deckhands, stewards, cooks, caterers, entertainment, and bartenders. Other subcontractors that we use include yacht repair persons and skilled electronics installers. Our Products and Services. We intend to be a professional source that the yacht owner or enthusiast will utilize for all their yachting requirements, including brokering sales or providing consulting services for yacht purchases, overseeing delivery to a foreign destination, recruiting captain and crew, procuring and supervising quality subcontract repairs and routine maintenance, and providing yacht charter cruises. We intend to provide high quality customer service, which we hope will result in repeat and referral business. We currently provide the following services: o yacht services such as the provision of captains, engineers and crew, from a list of qualified prospects and also supplies and maintenance; o deliveries of yachts to worldwide destinations; o full-scale contracted care yachts, including interior and exterior cleaning twice monthly, exterior waxing twice yearly, bottom cleaning once monthly, and routine maintenance; o brokering traditional face-to-face yacht sales, of vessels in the $1 - $1.5 million range, and; o advice and consultation to clients with regard to all aspects of yacht lease, purchase, custom construction and ownership, such as consultation at a boat show by contract, although we have not generated any revenues from theses services. 2
DEFM14C84th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 84th
We are currently equipped to provide all of the above services those services only require the manpower of our officers and directors and the use of subcontractors. We intend to provide the following services: o yacht sales or lease by means of the website, of vessels in the $500,000 range; and o custom yacht design and construction. In order to provide the above services, we need to develop our website. We also intend to establish relationships with various parties including yacht owners, sellers, brokers, lessors, charter agents, maintenance suppliers, industry professionals and specialists, captains, crew, engineers, designers, insurance agents, legal advisors, and government agents. In the high-end yachting industry, reputation of the company and its personnel is very important to the customers. Our president, Mitch Keeler has extensive contacts and experience in all aspects of the yachting industry due to his 20 years in the field as a licensed yacht captain. We believe that a significant portion of our customers will be generated by referral from Mr. Keeler's contacts. Our facilities are located in San Diego, California, giving us a presence in what we believe is one of the world's largest luxury yacht markets. We also intend to conduct operations to the eastern Caribbean market through Global Yacht Services (BVI) Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary. We anticipate that our subsidiary will establish an office in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, so that we provide services to that market. Our subsidiary has not conducted any operations to date. We anticipate that we will develop our website so that it will function as a means for global clients to access our range of services and communicate with us. In California, the chief means of contact will be in person, by mail, e-mail, phone or fax, although we anticipate that a significant portion of our business will be conducted away from the office or at the client's location. We believe that we must be accessible via multiple types of communication systems, such as cellular phone and email, so that prospects and clients can always reach us. We anticipate that we will rely upon effective business systems to grow our business. We intend to develop an information database to capture client data for future business development, which will cue our management follow-up calls to brokers and clients for a regular check up to ensure they are satisfied with current services. As with many other luxury purchases, luxury yacht purchases are often cyclical with some clients upgrading to new models every 2 or 3 years. We hope to serve these clients in making these upgrade purchases. However, we expect that other clients will maintain their original yacht, but make use of relevant maintenance services through us. Our business, as well as the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, with seasonality varying in different geographic markets. We expect to realize significantly lower sales and operations in winter months in climates that are characterized by cold temperatures or severe weather. However, we anticipate activity to generally fluctuate with seasonal changes. Our business could become substantially more seasonal as we expand operations into colder regions of the United States. In addition, weather conditions adversely impact our operating results. For example, drought conditions, reduced rainfall levels, and excessive rain may force boating areas to close or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for our products. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and prolonged winter conditions may lead to shorter selling seasons in certain locations. Hurricanes and other storms could result in the disruption of our proposed Caribbean operations or damage to our proposed boat inventories and facilities. As a result, our operating results in some future quarters could be below our expectations. Our Website www.gysi-online.com. Our current website, which is hosted by a local provider in San Diego, California, displays our corporate logo and contact information and provides a general description of our staff, the services that we provide as well as links to resources of interest to yacht owners. We believe that there is a need in the global yacht industry for clients to obtain timely and comprehensive services. We hope to fulfill this need by means of our website, which we intend to further develop to provide one-stop shopping and support for clients and prospective clients. 3

Our Target Markets and Marketing Strategy. We do not believe that our current operations depend on one or a limited number of customers. We intend to serve the global high-end luxury yachting market through relationship marketing and our website. We will begin by providing service in the San Diego region, central to the southern California yacht market, by approaching existing yacht owners to act as charter agents. Yacht services such as care-taking or maintenance, making travel arrangements and brokering captains and crew, yacht delivery world-wide, yacht sales and general yachting related services will be provided initially in San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties. The southern California region is second only to Florida in the U.S. market for luxury yachts and services. We intend to be competitive in price to satisfy those clients who are price shoppers. However, we intend to provide high quality services, which we believe will attract loyal clients for whom price will be a secondary consideration. We will promote our services primarily by means of our website, but also by relationship-building with yacht brokers, articles and advertisements in trade publications such as Yachts International, duPont Registry, Yachting, Yachting World, Sea Magazine and Motor Yachting Magazine, as well as by reputation and word-of-mouth. Additionally, we anticipate that attendance at a number of boat shows will be necessary, often in a contract capacity to assist a client to find a new vessel. Our Growth Strategy. Our objective is to establish our reputation of providing preeminent services to luxury yacht owners and users of yacht services initially in San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties. Our strategy is to provide clients with exceptional personal service and access to products and services. Key elements of our strategy include: o cultivate relationships with existing and potential clients; o increase our relationships with third party providers of maintenance and repair products and services; o continue to promote our website and expand its capabilities; and o expand operations in the southern California and eastern Caribbean markets. Our Competition. The market for luxury yacht sales and services is very competitive. We compete primarily with single-location boat dealers and yacht brokers with respect to brokering sales or providing consulting services for yacht purchases and overseeing delivery to a foreign destination. We also compete with national specialty marine parts and accessories stores, catalog retailers, sporting goods stores, and mass merchants with respect to sales of marine parts, accessories, services and equipment. We also compete with other providers of yacht charter services and with cruise ship lines and other forms of vacation choices and types of recreation. In addition, several of our competitors, especially those selling marine equipment and accessories, are large international, national or regional businesses that have substantial financial, marketing, and other resources. Private boat charters are additional competition. We intend to compete on the basis of price and quality of service and by offering a complete range of services. We intend to utilize the experience and contacts of Mitch Keeler to provide high quality services at a reasonable price. We believe that Mr. Keeler's experience and contacts in the industry will allow us to pay less for the services that we subcontract. We also believe that we can compete by providing a complete range of services, from assisting clients with purchase, delivery maintenance and sale of their yacht. We can also teach the client how to operate the boat and understand the systems. We believe that by offering a total range of services to the yacht owner we can compete effectively with those competitors that only offer one of the services that we provide. Additionally, the market for similar products and services offered over the Internet is highly competitive. There are no substantial barriers to entry in these markets, and we expect that competition will continue to intensify. Our yacht purchasing and maintenance services compete against a variety of Internet and traditional boat and other recreational equipment purchasing services as well as boat manufacturers, yacht brokers and yacht maintenance companies. Therefore, the competitive factors faced by both Internet commerce companies as well as traditional, offline companies within the boating equipment and service industries affect us. To compete successfully in the global marketplace as an Internet-based commercial entity, we must significantly increase awareness of our services and brand name. 4
DEFM14C86th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 86th
We anticipate we will compete with other entities which maintain similar commercial websites including buymarine.com, yachtworld.com, boating.com, boattraderonline.com, boatowners.com and boat-yachts.com. In addition, all major cruise companies, yacht manufacturers and other boating industry players have their own websites and many have recently launched or announced plans to launch online buying services. For example, Campers & Nicholsons, or C&N, which is based overseas with a long-established history and reputation, uses traditional means such as relying on referrals, direct mail and high-end catalogue to generate leads. However, C&N also has a website, cnconnect.com, but mostly relies upon this means of communication to generate calls to brokers. On the other hand, Yachtstore generates the majority of its business from its website, where a buyer can conduct transactions from yacht purchases to charter arrangements without speaking to a live broker. We also compete with yacht charter or maintenance companies, as well as yacht manufacturers and dealers. Such companies may already maintain or may introduce websites which compete with ours. Many of these competitors have greater financial resources than we have, enabling them to finance acquisition and development opportunities, to pay higher prices for the same opportunities or to develop and support their own operations. In addition, many of these companies can offer bundled, value-added or additional services not provided by us, and may have greater name recognition. These companies might be willing to sacrifice profitability to capture a greater portion of the market for yacht sales, service or charters, or pay higher prices than we would for the same expansion and development opportunities. Consequently, we may encounter significant competition in our efforts to achieve our internal growth objectives. Our Intellectual Property. We do not presently own any patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, concessions or royalties. Our success may depend in part upon our ability to protect our trade name, preserve our trade secrets, obtain and maintain patent protection for our technologies, products and processes, and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of other parties. However, we may rely on certain proprietary technologies, trade secrets, and know-how that are not patentable. Although we may take action to protect our unpatented trade secrets and our proprietary information, in part, by the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and certain of our contractors, we cannot guaranty that o these agreements will not be breached; o we would have adequate remedies for any breach; or o our proprietary trade secrets and know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed or discovered by competitors. We cannot guaranty that our actions will be sufficient to prevent imitation or duplication of either our products or services by others or prevent others from claiming violations of their trade secrets and proprietary rights. We own the Internet domain name www.gysi-online.com. Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as ".org", or with a country designation. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names. Government Regulation. Our yacht sales, maintenance and charter operations are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and licensing under various federal, state, and local statutes, ordinances, and regulations. For example, broker services require sales licenses in most states, and boats under charter must adhere to U.S. Coast Guard standards, including safety regulations such as those for life-saving equipment, and are subject to various vessel inspection and testing requirements. Also, vessel manufacturers must certify yachts and all recreational powerboats sold in the U.S. meet U.S. Coast Guard standards. These certifications specify standards for the design and construction of yachts and other powerboats. In addition, yacht safety is subject to federal regulation under the Boat Safety Act of 1971. The Boat Safety Act requires boat manufacturers to recall products for replacement of parts or components that have demonstrated defects affecting safety. In addition, boats manufactured for sale in other countries must be certified to meet standards in those jurisdictions. 5

Certain states have required or are considering requiring a license to operate a recreational boat. These licensing requirements are not expected to be unduly restrictive. They may, however, discourage potential first-time buyers, which could hinder our ability to generate revenues. In addition, certain state and local governmental authorities are contemplating regulatory efforts to restrict boating activities on certain inland bodies of water. While the scope of these potential regulations is not yet known, their adoption and enforcement could significant reduce our revenues. Changes in federal and state tax laws, such as an imposition of luxury taxes on new boat purchases, also could influence consumers' decisions to purchase products we offer and could have a negative effect on our sales. For example, during 1991 and 1992, the federal government imposed a luxury tax on new recreational boats with sales prices in excess of $100,000, which coincided with a sharp decline in boating industry sales from the late 1980s compared to 1992. Our business or that of our subcontractors may involve the use, handling, storage, and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, including environmentally sensitive materials, such as motor oil, waste motor oil and filters, transmission fluid, antifreeze, freon, waste paint and lacquer thinner, batteries, solvents, lubricants, degreasing agents, gasoline, and diesel fuels. Accordingly, we could be subject to regulation by federal, state, and local authorities establishing investigation and health and environmental quality standards, and liability related thereto, and providing penalties for violations of those standards. In particular, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA or Superfund, imposes joint, strict, and several liability on: o owners or operators of facilities at, from, or to which a release of hazardous substances has occurred; o parties who generated hazardous substances that were released at such facilities; and o parties who transported or arranged for the transportation of hazardous substances to such facilities. A majority of states have adopted Superfund statutes comparable to and, in some cases, more stringent than CERCLA. In addition, operations conducted on waterways are subject to federal or state laws regulating navigable waters (including oil pollution prevention), fish and wildlife, and other matters. Additionally, Internet access and online services are not subject to direct regulation in the United States. Changes in the laws and regulations relating to the telecommunications and media industry, however, could impact our business. For example, the Federal Communications Commission could begin to regulate the Internet and online services industry, which could result in increased costs for us. The laws and regulations applicable to the Internet and to our services are evolving and unclear and could damage our business. There are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to, or commerce on, the Internet. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted, covering issues such as user privacy, defamation, pricing, taxation, content regulation, quality of products and services, and intellectual property ownership and infringement. Such legislation could expose us to substantial liability as well as dampen the growth in use of the Internet, decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commercial medium, or require us to incur significant expenses in complying with any new regulations. The European Union has recently adopted privacy and copyright directives that may impose additional burdens and costs on international operations. Our Research and Development. We are not currently conducting any research and development activities, other than the development of our website. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. Employees. As of March 28, 2003, we have no employees other than our officers. We anticipate that we will not hire any employees in the next six months, unless we generate significant revenues. From time-to-time, we anticipate that we will use the services of independent contractors and consultants for the various services that we provide. Facilities. Our executive, administrative and operating offices are located 7710 Hazard Center Drive, Suite E-415, San Diego, California 92108. 6

Item 2. Description of Property. --------------------------------- Property held by us. As of the date specified in the following table, we held the following property: ==================================== ====================================== Property December 31, 2002 ------------------------------------ -------------------------------------- Cash $97,249 ==================================== ====================================== Our Facilities. Our executive, administrative and operating office is approximately 150 square feet and is located in the personal residence of Mitch Keeler, our president and one of our directors. We have complete ownership of this office and we do not share this office with any other business. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our needs and that additional suitable space will be available on acceptable terms as required. We do not own any real estate. Mitch Keeler, our president and director, currently provides office space to us at no charge. We do not have a written lease or sublease agreement and Mr. Keeler does not expect to be paid or reimbursed for providing office facilities. Our financial statements reflect, as occupancy costs, the fair market value of that space, which is approximately $193 per month. That amount has been included in the financial statements as additional capital contribution by Mr. Keeler. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. --------------------------- There are no legal actions pending against us nor are any legal actions contemplated by us at this time. Item 4. Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders ---------------------------------------------------------- Not applicable. PART II Item 5. Market Price for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reports to Security Holders. We are a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov. Prices of Common Stock. We participate in the OTC Bulletin Board, an electronic quotation medium for securities traded outside of the Nasdaq Stock Market, and prices for our common stock are published on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol "GYHT". This market is extremely limited and the prices quoted are not a reliable indication of the value of our common stock. As of March 28, 2003 our common stock has not traded. We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock, each share of common stock having equal rights and preferences, including voting privileges. As of December 31, 2002, 1,917,277 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. There are 12,827 shares that can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, shares of our common stock. There are no outstanding shares of our common stock that we have agreed to register under the Securities Act for sale by security holders. The approximate number of holders of record of shares of our common stock is four. In February 2002, our registration statement on Form SB-2 to register 750,000 shares of common stock to be offered for sale by us, and 50,000 shares of common stock held by our shareholders was declared effective by the SEC. We sold 634,500 shares of our common stock pursuant to that offering, which resulted in proceeds to us of $126,900. 7

There have been no cash dividends declared on our common stock. Dividends are declared at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. Penny Stock Regulation. Shares of our common stock are subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following: o a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; o a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities' laws; o a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price; o a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; o definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and o such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation. Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following: o the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; o the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; o the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and o monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may", "shall", "will", "could", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "predict", "probable", "possible", "should", "continue", or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. 8

Liquidity and Capital Resources. We had cash of $97,249 as at December 31, 2002. We believe that our available cash is sufficient to pay our day-to-day expenditures. Our total current assets and total assets were approximately $97,249 as at December 31, 2002. In February 2002, our registration statement on Form SB-2 to register 750,000 shares of common stock to be offered for sale by us at $0.20 per share, and 50,000 shares of common stock held by our shareholders was declared effective by the SEC. As of March 28, 2003, we have sold 634,500 shares of common stock for proceeds of $126,900, and we have terminated the offering. Our current liabilities were $10,434 as at December 31, 2002, and were represented by accounts payable and accrued expenses. We had no other liabilities and no long term commitments or contingencies as at December 31, 2002. Results of Operations. Revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we realized revenues of $87,769. This is in comparison to the period from February 21, 2001, our date of inception, to December 31, 2001, when we realized revenues of approximately $24,685 from providing charter and yacht management services. We hope to continue to generate more revenues as we expand our customer base. Our cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $49,674, making our gross operating margin $38,095. This is in comparison to our cost of revenues which were $15,857 from the period from February 21, 2001, our date of inception, to December 31, 2002. Therefore, our gross operating margin from February 21, 2001, our date of inception, through December 31, 2002, was $8,828. Because we increased the scope and volume of our operations, we had greater costs of generating revenues, but increased our gross operating margin as well. Operating Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we had $77,482 in total operating expenses, compared to the period from February 21, 2001, our date of inception, through December 31, 2002, where our total operating expenses were approximately $48,534. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the majority of those expenses were represented by legal and professional fees of $64,768. We also had advertising expenses of $350, occupancy expenses of $2,340, office supplies and expense of $2,112, outside services expenses of $6,000, and $1,912 for telephone and utilities. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2002, our loss from operations was $39,387. We also had $25,076 in other expenses, which resulted in a net loss of $64,463 before provision for income taxes and our net loss a total of $65,263. By comparison, for the period from our inception on February 21, 2001 through December 31, 2002, we experienced a net loss of approximately $39,706, plus $54 in other income, for a net loss of $39,652. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses. Our Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months. In our management's opinion, to effectuate our business plan in the next twelve months, the following events should occur or we should reach the following milestones in order for us to become profitable: 1. We must conduct marketing activities to promote our services and obtain additional customers to increase our customer base. We currently market our business primarily through referrals and our website. Our president, Mitch Keeler, had a large foundation of business and a strong reputation in the industry, which we believe has been transferred to us. We believe that referrals comprise approximately 70% of our business and business generated from our website is approximately 30% of our business. Future marketing will include articles and advertisements in industry publications, such as: Yachting, Motor Boating, and Sea. Within six months, we should have increased our customer base. 2. We must develop relationships with various parties including yacht owners, sellers, brokers, lessors, charter agents, maintenance suppliers, industry professionals and specialists, captains, crew, engineers, designers, insurance agents, legal advisors, and government agents. We believe that these parties will help supply some of our services and they may become sources of referrals. Within six to twelve months, we should have developed relationships with several of those parties who provide some of the services that we offer as well as be sources of referrals. 9
DEFM14C91st Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 91st
3. We must develop our website so that it will function as a means for global clients to access our range of services and communicate with us for support services as well as for use as a marketing tool to inform and persuade customers to engage our services. We intend to develop our website so that we utilize a database set up on the backend, which will capture customer information and allow us to process information concerning our clients and potential clients. One objective for our website is to interact with clients in "real time" so that they feel that their needs are being taken care of professionally and on a personal level. Within six to twelve months, we should have developed our website to provide those services. We anticipate that we will use the funds raised from our offering and revenues generated to fund marketing activities and for working capital. Our failure to market and promote our services will hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations and generate additional revenues. We have cash of $97,249 as of December 31, 2002. In the opinion of management, available funds will satisfy our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. In order to expand our operations, we do not currently anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital in addition to the funds raised in this offering. We are not currently conducting any research and development activities, other than the development of our website. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. In the event that we expand our customer base, then we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease additional equipment. Item 7.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ---------------------------- To the Stockholders of Global Yacht Services, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Global Yacht Services, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit. The financial statements of Global Yacht Services, Inc. and subsidiary for the period February 21, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2001, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 8, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Yacht Services, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 Note 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Description - Global Yacht Services, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company") provides chartering, delivery, maintenance and consulting services to luxury yacht owners and manufacturers. The Company's President is a United States Coast Guard certified captain. The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 21, 2001 and is headquartered in San Diego, California. Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Yacht Services, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary Global Yacht Services, Ltd. (collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated, if any. Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Receivables - Receivables, if any, represent valid claims against debtors for sales or other charges arising on or before the balance-sheet date and are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is computed as a percentage (%) of sales. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments, which includes cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments. Recognition of Revenue - The Company records revenues of its services when they are complete, fee is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company will also provide an allowance for returns when experience is established. Cost of goods sold consists of fuel, docking fees, supplies and cost of services and related expenses of personnel used. Advertising Costs - The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Income Taxes - The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. Net Loss per Common Share - The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 requires the reporting of basic and diluted earnings/loss per share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. 17

GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 Note 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Comprehensive Loss - The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, requiring its components to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. For the period ended December 31, 2001, the Company had no other components of its comprehensive income or loss other than the net loss as reported on the consolidated statement of operations. Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. NOTE 2 - CONTINGENCIES As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net operating loss of $104,915 since inception on February 21, 2001 through December 31, 2002. Management believes its existing cash resources of approximately $96,000 will be sufficient over the next twelve months to continue the expansion of its business plan and operations. The Company occupies office space within the officer's residence. Accordingly, occupancy costs have been allocated to the Company based on the square foot percentage assumed multiplied by the officer's total monthly costs. These amounts are shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. NOTE 3 - ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued Wages and Compensated Absences - The Company currently does not have any employees. The majority of development costs and services have been provided to the Company by the officers and outside, third party vendors. As such, there is no accrual for wages or compensated absences as of December 31, 2002 and 2001. NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK On February 22, 2001, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to its officer and founder for $10,000 cash to initially capitalize the Company. Since there was no readily available market value at the time the shares were issued, the value of $0.01 per share was considered as a reasonable estimate of fair value between the officer and the Company. 18

GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK (Continued) On May 4, 2001, the Company issued 5,000 shares of its common stock to an officer for $500 cash. Since there was no readily available market value at the time the shares were issued, the value of $0.10 per share was considered as a reasonable estimate of fair value between the office and the Company. On May 31, 2001, the Company completed a "best efforts" offering of its common stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the Private Placement Memorandum Offering, the Company issued 277,777 shares of its common stock at $0.18 per share for a total of $50,000. On May 10, 2002, the Company issued 634,500 shares of its common stock at a selling price of $0.20 per share pursuant to its prospectus as filed with its registration statement on Form SB-2. The net proceeds were $126,900. NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES At December 31, 2002, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $104,915, expiring at various dates through 2022, that may be used to offset future taxable income. Therefore, the provision for income taxes includes only the minimum state franchise tax of $800. In addition, the Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $24,000 at December 31, 2002. The Company has not recorded a benefit from its net operating loss carryforward because realization of the benefit is uncertain and, therefore, a valuation allowance of ($24,000) has been provided for the deferred tax assets. NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On February 22, 2001 and May 4, 2001, the Company issued 1,000,000 and 5,000 shares of its common stock, respectively to it current officers for cash as described in Note 4. The Company occupies office space provided by its officer. Accordingly, occupancy costs have been allocated to the Company based on the square foot percentage assumed multiplied by the officer's total monthly costs. These amounts are shown in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the period February 21, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2001 and are considered additional contributions of capital by the officer and the Company. 19

DEFM14C108th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 108th
The Board of Directors and Shareholders DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc., doing business as Hyalozyme Therapeutics, (a California corporation) as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (February 26, 1998) to December 31, 2003. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 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 financial position of DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (February 26, 1998) to December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding this uncertainty are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DELIATROPH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO DECEMBER 31, 2003 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. GENERAL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES GENERAL - DeliaTroph Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a development stage company) dba Hyalozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on February 26, 1998 and is a development stage, product-focused biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic enzymes and drug enhancement systems, based on intellectual property covering the family of enzymes known as hyaluronidases. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the original purchase date to be cash equivalents. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances with one major commercial bank. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Equipment and furniture are depreciated using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three years and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, whichever is shorter. LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets are reviewed for events of changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. At December 31, 2003, the Company believes there has been no impairment of the value of such assets. INCOME TAXES - Income taxes are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such -5-

assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2003, the Company had federal and state deferred tax assets of approximately $1,200,000 and $300,000, respectively, both consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for all net deferred tax assets generated to date. The deferred tax assets and valuation allowances increased approximately $800,000 in 2003. The federal and state net operating losses of approximately $3,400,000 will begin to expire in 2018 and 2008, respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 148 and will continue to follow APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted to its employees and directors. Accordingly, employee and director compensation expense is recognized only for those options whose price is less than the market value at the measurement date. When the exercise price of the employee or director stock options is less then the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the grant date, the Company records deferred compensation for the difference and amortizes this amount to expense in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Options or Award Plans, over the vesting period of the options. Stock options issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value as determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction With Selling Goods or Services, and recognized over the related service period. Deferred charges for options granted to non-employees are periodically re-measured as the options vest. The Company's calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected life of 48 months; 100% stock volatility; risk-free interest rate of 3.0%; no dividends during the expected term; and forfeitures recognized as they occur. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the estimated life of the related options. The Company's pro forma information follows (in thousands except per share data): [Download Table] Year Ended ---------- 2003 2002 ---- ---- Net loss, as reported $ (2,115) $ (1,135) Deduct: Total stock-based employee Compensation expense determined under Fair value based method for all awards $ (149) $ (1) --------------- ------------ Pro forma net loss $ (2,264) $ (1,136) =============== ============ Net loss per share, basic and diluted, as reported $ (0.31) $ (0.25) =============== ============ Pro forma net loss per share, basic and diluted $ (0.33) $ (0.25) =============== ============ -6-

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) - Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in a company's net assets, except changes resulting from transactions with shareholders. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has no reportable differences between net loss and comprehensive loss. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred in accordance with FASB statement No. 2, "Accounting for Research and Development Costs." NET LOSS PER SHARE - In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 98, basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Under SFAS No. 128, diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options and warrants, outstanding during the period. Such common equivalent shares have not been included in the Company's computation of net loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

RECENT ACCOUNTING -7-
DEFM14C116th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 116th
PRONOUNCEMENTS - In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 91, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. This statement also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The provisions are generally to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the provisions of this statement effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force ("ETIF") Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for an exit cost, as defined in ETIF Issue 94-3, be recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 will be adopted for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statement Nos. 5, 57 and 107, and rescission of FIN 34, Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002; while the provisions of the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of the recognition provisions of such interpretation will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position and has adopted such interpretation on January 1, 2003, as required. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of SFAS No. 123. This statement amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to -8-
DEFM14C117th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 117th
require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic companies. For nonpublic companies, mandatory redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of this statement for the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a significant impact on its financial statements. 2.

The former officers were paid their accrued wages of $50,000 in February 2003. The remaining balance of $36,667 was converted to a note payable in February 2003. This note was subsequently converted to common stock (see Note 4). 4. NOTES PAYABLE In 2002, the Company issued 10% promissory notes in the amount of $355,000. As amended, principal and interest automatically convert to common stock at $0.449 per share at the closing of the next equity financing in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $800,000. Because market value -9-
DEFM14C118th Page of 121TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 118th
of the common shares was below the conversion price at the commitment date, there was no beneficial conversion feature. The notes carried a 40 percent warrant coverage for the purchase of common stock (see Note 5). In 2002 and 2003, the Company issued 10% promissory notes in the amount of $917,000. As amended, principal and interest automatically convert to common stock at $0.281 per share at the closing of the next equity financing in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $800,000. Because the market value of the shares was above the conversion price at the commitment date, a beneficial conversion feature of $306,754 was recorded as interest expense and additional paid in capital in October 2003, upon the Company's issuance of $1,004,486 of Series C preferred stock. The notes carried a 20 percent warrant coverage for the purchase of common stock (see Note 5). Upon closing the Series C preferred financing, the principal balance of $1,272,000 of the above described notes and $99,764 of accrued interest were converted into 4,260,869 shares of common stock of the Company. 5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK - In March 1999, the Company issued 2,078,662 shares of common stock for $10,956 in goods and services. In January 2000, the Company issued 2,078,662 shares of common stock for $10,956 in cash. In August 2000, the Company issued 442,267 shares of common stock in exchange for a license valued at $2,330. Of the common stock 4,157,324 shares were sold to founders of the Company. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK OPTIONS FOR SERVICES - In September 2002, the Company issued 7,897 common stock options for consulting services valued at $500. In January 2003, the Company issued 39,488 common stock options for consulting services valued at $2,500.
