Business |
||||||
|
. Developing and commercializing a novel therapeutic treatment for asthma. |
||||||
|
. Has developed proprietary technology designed to deliver controlled thermal energy to the |
||||||
|
airways of adult patients to reduce the mass of airway smooth muscle, in a procedure called |
||||||
|
Bronchial Thermoplastytm. |
||||||
|
. The contraction of airway smooth muscle in the lung airways is a main cause of airway |
||||||
|
constriction that leads to difficulty in breathing during asthma attacks. |
||||||
|
. AZMA believes that reducing airway smooth muscle in asthma patients can decrease the ability |
||||||
|
of the airways to constrict, thereby providing a significant therapeutic benefit to those asthma |
||||||
|
patients whose symptoms are poorly controlled despite using conventional asthma medications. |
||||||
|
Market Opportunity |
||||||
|
The estimated annual cost of asthma in the United States is approximately $16.1 billion, including |
||||||
|
an estimated $11.5 billion in direct costs such as asthma medications, physician office visits, |
||||||
|
emergency room visits and hospitalizations. |
||||||
|
Alair® System |
||||||
|
. AZMA has developed a device named the Alair® System specifically to perform the Bronchial |
||||||
|
Thermoplasty procedure. |
||||||
|
. The Alair System is composed of two primary components: a proprietary, single-use, small |
||||||
|
diameter catheter with an expandable tip, the Alair Catheter; and a radio frequency controller, the |
||||||
|
Alair RF Controller. |
||||||
|
. During Bronchial Thermoplasty, a pulmonologist inserts the Alair Catheter into the patient’s lung |
||||||
|
airways through the working channel of a bronchoscope. A bronchoscope is a commonly used |
||||||
|
instrument with a small light and camera that is inserted through the nose or mouth. |
||||||
|
. Once in place, the pulmonologist expands the tip of the Alair Catheter and uses the Alair RF |
||||||
|
Controller to deliver thermal energy (heat) to the airway walls. This thermal energy reduces the |
||||||
|
mass of airway smooth muscle, and we believe that it does not have any meaningful lasting effect |
||||||
|
on other airway tissues. |
||||||
|
. Bronchial Thermoplasty is performed under conscious sedation with local anesthesia on an |
||||||
|
outpatient basis in three 30-60 minute procedures, each spaced at least three weeks apart. |
||||||
|
Clinical trials |
||||||
|
. Physicians had administered Bronchial Thermoplasty to 150 asthma patients in clinical trials as |
||||||
|
of August 31, 2006. |
||||||
|
. AZMA believes that the data from completed trials indicate that Bronchial Thermoplasty |
||||||
|
performed using the Alair System, when combined with conventional asthma medications, offers |
||||||
|
adult patients with moderate-to-severe asthma a significant improvement in the control of their |
||||||
|
asthma symptoms, enhancing their quality of life. |
||||||
|
. AZMA also believes that Bronchial Thermoplasty provides a persistent reduction in asthma |
||||||
|
symptoms for moderate-to-severe asthma patients, based primarily on one-year follow-up data |
||||||
|
from more than 85 patients in clinical trials. |
||||||
|
Intellectual property |
||||||
|
. As of August 31, 2006, had obtained 11 issued U.S. patents, and had 25 additional U.S. patent |
||||||
|
applications pending. |
||||||
|
. ASMA believes it will take up to five years, and possibly longer, for these pending U.S. patent |
||||||
|
applications to result in issued patents. |
||||||
|
. Not including any term extensions that may be available, 11 issued U.S. patents expire between |
||||||
|
2017 and 2018. |
||||||
|
. As of August 31, 2006, also had obtained 14 foreign patents and had 15 additional foreign patent |
||||||
|
applications pending. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
. AZMA is not aware of any interventional procedures to treat asthma that are currently in use or |
||||||
|
development other than Bronchial Thermoplasty performed using the Alair System |
||||||
|
. In addition, while AZMA believes that Bronchial Thermoplasty will be complementary to many |
||||||
|
asthma medications, Bronchial Thermoplasty may be perceived by pharmaceutical companies as |
||||||
|
being competitive with their products, and may directly compete with some asthma medications |
||||||
|
. The pharmaceutical market for asthma medication is intensely competitive and significantly |
||||||
|
affected by new product introductions. The leading medications for asthma include Advair from |
||||||
|
GlaxoSmithKline, Singulair from Merck, Pulmicort and Symbicort from AstraZeneca and Xolair |
||||||
|
from Genentech and Novartis. |
||||||
|

Business |
||||||
|
. Clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and future commercialization |
||||||
|
of targeted treatments for cancer and the prevention of infectious disease. |
||||||
|
. Pipeline of cancer product candidates is built on what BVEX believes to be a first-in-class |
||||||
|
oncolytic, or "cancer destroying", virus technology that works by replicating and spreading within |
||||||
|
solid tumors, causing the death of cancer cells while leaving surrounding healthy cells unharmed. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
. The pioneer in the oncolytic virus field was Onyx Pharmaceutics, Inc., which worked with an |
||||||
|
engineered version of the adenovirus, a respiratory virus which we believe to be of low lytic |
||||||
|
potential and therefore to be a less potent oncolytic agent then those based on the herpes simplex |
||||||
|
virus. The original Onyx product candidate, named Onyx 015, was partnered with Warner |
||||||
|
Lambert, which later merged with Pfizer. Pfizer and Onyx abandoned the program in 2001. In |
||||||
|
2005, the Onyx 015 program was sold to Shanghai Sunway Biotech Co., a Chinese company. |
||||||
|
Sunway has also obtained product approval to market a similar adenovirus-based oncolytic |
||||||
|
product for use in head and neck cancer in China - the first oncolytic virus approved anywhere in |
||||||
|
the world. |
||||||
|
. Cell Genesys, Inc. has also developed a number of oncolytic adenovirus product candidates, |
||||||
|
mainly targeted at prostate cancer. We understand that Cell Genesys has ceased development of |
||||||
|
the prostate cancer product candidates, but that it has an adenovirus-based product potentially with |
||||||
|
activity in a broader range of tumor types in a Phase I clinical trial in superficial bladder cancer. In |
||||||
|
July 2003, Cell Genesys announced that it had entered into an agreement with Novartis for the |
||||||
|
development and commercialization of oncolytic adenovirus therapies, pursuant to which it |
||||||
|
obtained exclusive worldwide rights to certain oncolytic adenovirus therapy products and related |
||||||
|
intellectual property of Novartis, including rights to the virus currently being tested in superficial |
||||||
|
bladder cancer described above. |
||||||
|
. Other companies are, like BVEX, seeking to develop oncolytic viruses based on the herpes |
||||||
|
simplex virus. These companies include Crusade Laboratories Ltd. in the United Kingdom, whose |
||||||
|
efforts are focused on glioma, a type of brain tumor, and which is planning a pivotal trial in |
||||||
|
Europe, and MediGene AG, which has recently concluded a Phase I trial in colorectal liver |
||||||
|
metastases and has a further clinical trial in this indication underway. Medigene also has a Phase I |
||||||
|
investigator-sponsored study underway in glioma. |
||||||
|
. BVEX's OncoVEX technology uses a more potent strain of HSV than has been used previously |
||||||
|
for construction of an oncolytic HSV virus, and BVEX has modified HSV to further improve the |
||||||
|
ability of product candidates to destroy tumor tissue. BVEX believes that no other such "second |
||||||
|
generation" or similarly potent HSV-based oncolytics have yet entered clinical development. |
||||||
|
. Additional types of viruses are also in development as oncolytic agents by other competitors: |
||||||
|
Cash requirements |
||||||
|
BVEX currently estimates that at least $12 million to $15 million to fund planned direct clinical |
||||||
|
trial costs over the next 18 months |
||||||
|
Use of $36.5mm in IPO proceeds |
||||||
|
o continued clinical development of OncoVEXGM-CSF |
||||||
|
o development of ImmunoVEXHSV2 through the completion of Phase I |
||||||
|
o research and development infrastructure, including manufacturing operations, and |
||||||
|
o administrative and business development expenses, including working capital needs and general |
||||||
|
corporate purposes |

||||||
|
Business |
||||||
|
. Provides offshore business process outsourcing services, primarily serving the needs of Global |
||||||
|
1000 companies in the banking, financial services and insurance sector (BFSI), which produced |
||||||
|
86% of pro forma revenues in 2005 |
||||||
|
. Operations centers are located in India, which enables EXLS to leverage India's large pool of |
||||||
|
highly qualified and educated English-speaking technical professionals, who are able to handle |
||||||
|
complex processes and services that require functional skills and industry expertise |
||||||
|
. Total number of employees, substantially all of whom are based in India, has grown from 1,800 |
||||||
|
at December 31, 2002 to approximately 7,300 at July 1, 2006. |
||||||
|
Recent acquisition |
||||||
|
. On July 1, 2006, completed the Inductis Acquisition, which significantly increased the size and |
||||||
|
scale of existing research and analytics capabilities and |
||||||
|
. Enhanced EXLS's ability to deliver services to clients, introduced management to a well |
||||||
|
diversified base of clients and strengthened and expanded the depth of EXLS's management pool, |
||||||
|
including senior managers with long-term client relationships in key areas of business. |
||||||
|
Market Opportunity |
||||||
|
. The NASSCOM-McKinsey report estimates that the offshore BPO industry will grow at a 37.0% |
||||||
|
compound annual growth rate, from $11.4 billion in fiscal 2005 to $55.0 billion in fiscal 2010 |
||||||
|
. The report identifies the banking and insurance industries as representing 50% of the potential |
||||||
|
offshore BPO market and estimates that providers have captured less than 10% of the total |
||||||
|
opportunity, even in industries that began outsourcing processes early on such as insurance (life, |
||||||
|
health, and property and casualty) and retail banking (including deposits and lending, credit cards, |
||||||
|
mortgages, and loans). |
||||||
|
. The report estimates that India-based companies accounted for 46% of offshore BPO revenue in |
||||||
|
fiscal 2005 and that India will retain its dominant position as the most favored offshore BPO |
||||||
|
destination for the foreseeable future. |
||||||
|
. It forecasts that the Indian offshore BPO market will grow from $5.2 billion in revenue in fiscal |
||||||
|
2005 to $25.0 billion in fiscal 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate of 36.9%. The |
||||||
|
report and the data within the report are based on studies and analysis of surveys of BPO service |
||||||
|
providers and customers conducted by McKinsey & Company. |
||||||
|
Clients & client concentration |

|
Business |
||||||
|
. Primarily an excess and surplus, or E&S, lines underwriter focusing on niche and underserved |
||||||
|
segments |
||||||
|
. During 33 years of underwriting security risks, established CoverX® as a recognized brand |
||||||
|
among insurance agents and brokers. CoverX is a licensed wholesale insurance broker that |
||||||
|
produces and underwrites all of the insurance policies for which FMR retains risk and receives |
||||||
|
premiums |
||||||
|
. Over the last six years, have leveraged the brand, expertise and infrastructure to expand into |
||||||
|
other specialty classes of business, particularly focusing on smaller accounts that receive less |
||||||
|
attention from competitors. |
|
|||||
|
FMR becomes the direct writer of CoverX policies |
||||||
|
. Prior to June 2004, when FMR's insurance subsidiary's rating was upgraded by A.M. Best |
||||||
|
Company, Inc., or A.M. Best, to "A-," did not directly write a significant amount of insurance |
||||||
|
policies produced by CoverX, but instead utilized fronting arrangements under which FMR |
||||||
|
contracted with third party insurers, or fronting insurers, to directly write the policies produced by |
||||||
|
CoverX. |
||||||
|
. Under these fronting arrangements, FMR controlled the cession of the insurance from the |
||||||
|
fronting insurer and either assumed most of the risk under these policies as a reinsurer or arranged |
||||||
|
for it to be ceded directly to other reinsurers. |
||||||
|
. In connection with FMR's insurance subsidiary's rating upgrade, FMR was able to eliminate |
||||||
|
most of the fronting relationships by May 2005 and become the direct writer of substantially all of |
||||||
|
the policies produced by CoverX |
||||||
|
Ratings increase |
||||||
|
. In June 2004, an investment by Glencoe along with additional cash from FMFC, increased |
||||||
|
FMIC's statutory surplus by $26 million. |
||||||
|
. As a result of this capital infusion, A.M. Best raised FMIC's financial strength rating to "A-," |
||||||
|
and beginning in July 2004, FMIC began directly writing the majority of new and renewal policies |
||||||
|
produced by CoverX. |
||||||
|
Holdings Transaction |
||||||
|
. On August 17, 2005, completed a transaction in which FMR formed Holdings to purchase shares |
||||||
|
of FMFC common stock from certain FMFC stockholders and to exchange shares and options |
||||||
|
with the remaining stockholders of FMFC. |
||||||
|
. As a result of this transaction, Glencoe became the majority stockholder of Holdings and |
||||||
|
Holdings became the controlling stockholder of FMFC. The purchase and exchange of shares was |
||||||
|
financed by the issuance of $65 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes by Holdings. |
||||||
|
Holdings will be merged into FMFC prior to the completion of this offering, and the senior notes |
||||||
|
will be repaid in full with a portion of the net proceeds from this offering. |
||||||
|
Competition (note: MGA's are managing general agents) |
||||||
|
Security classes |
||||||
|
. Primary competitors with respect to security classes are MGAs supported by various insurance or |
||||||
|
reinsurance partners. |
||||||
|
. These MGAs include All Risks, Ltd., Brownyard Programs, Ltd., Mechanics Group and RelMark |
||||||
|
Program Managers. These MGAs provide services similar to CoverX, and they typically do not |
||||||
|
retain any insurance risk on the business they produce. |
||||||
|
. These MGAs also typically do not handle the claims on the business they produce, as claims |
||||||
|
handling is retained by the company assuming the insurance risk or outsourced to third party |
||||||
|
administrators. |
||||||
|
. Also faces competition from U.S. and non-U.S. insurers, including American International |
||||||
|
Group, Inc. (Lexington Insurance Company) in the security guard segment, The Hartford |
||||||
|
Financial Services Group, Inc. in the alarm segment, and ACE Limited in the safety segment. |
||||||
|
Other specialty classes |
||||||
|
. Primary competitors with respect to other specialty classes tend to be E&S lines insurance |
||||||
|
carriers. |
||||||
|
. Competitors vary by region and market, but include W.R. Berkley Corp. (Admiral Insurance |
||||||
|
Company), Argonaut Group (Colony Insurance Company), RLI Corp, American International |
||||||
|
Group, Inc. (Lexington Insurance Company) and International Financial Group, Inc. (Burlington |

approximately 9% of total industry stores in 2004. |
||||||
|
. Furthermore, small, local operators with 50 or fewer stores account for 74% of all convenience |
||||||
|
stores operated by retailers in 2005 |
||||||
|
Stores & consumers |
||||||
|
. Increasing size of retail stores, specifically supermarkets and large format hypermarkets, driving |
||||||
|
consumers to small box retailers, such as convenience stores, to meet their demand for speed and |
||||||
|
convenience in daily shopping needs; |
||||||
|
. Continuing shift of consumer food and general merchandise purchases away from traditional |
||||||
|
supermarkets to convenience stores, hypermarkets and drug stores; |
||||||
|
. Changing consumer demographics and eating patterns resulting in more food consumed away |
||||||
|
from home; |
||||||
|
. Highly fragmented nature of the industry providing larger chain operators with significant scale |
||||||
|
advantage |
||||||
|
Market leader in growing, localized markets |
||||||
|
. 78% of dealer locations are located in the Houston MSA. |
||||||
|
. SUSS believes it is the largest non-refining convenience store chain in Texas, owning five times |
||||||
|
as many stores as the next largest convenience store competitor in the rapidly growing South |
||||||
|
Texas market. |
||||||
|
. 90% of stores are located in South Texas, which includes high population growth areas |
||||||
|
(Brownsville and McAllen in the Rio Grande Valley and Laredo) and popular tourist destinations |
||||||
|
(Corpus Christi, Port Aransas and South Padre Island). |
||||||
|
. SUSS believes it is well positioned to capitalize on the growth in the markets by tailoring the |
||||||
|
merchandise mix, especially Laredo Taco Company, and marketing strategy to the preferences of |
||||||
|
the local population |
||||||
|
. Offers a varied selection of food, beverage, snacks, grocery and non-food items |
||||||
|
. Also offers made-from-scratch food under the Laredo Taco Company brand at 137 locations, |
||||||
|
which has contributed to strong same store sales growth and margins in excess of industry |
||||||
|
averages |

||||||
|
. SUSS, $147,000; Industry average, $131,500 |
||||||
|
For the last eight fiscal years, annual merchandise same store sales growth |
||||||
|
has averaged 5.1% (which was not inflated by increases in cigarette excise taxes) |
||||||
|
. Opened 55 new large format stores since 1999 |
||||||
|
. Has increased retail store count by 75% over the last five years through a combination of new |
||||||
|
large format store construction and acquisitions. |
||||||
|

||||||
|
comprehensive convenience merchandise selection of 2,800 merchandise units, an in-store Laredo |
||||||

||||||
|
Growth Strategy |
||||||
|
. New Store Pipeline |
||||||
|
. Opened 16 new stores in 2005 and plans to open 16 to 18 stores in 2006 & 2007 in existing markets |
||||||
|
. New Dealer Pipeline |
||||||
|
Intends to increase wholesale distribution network by at least 25 to 35 dealers per year in fiscal |
||||||
|
2006 and 2007, which requires minimal capital expenditures. |
||||||
|
. Expand Proprietary Laredo Taco Company Restaurants |
||||||
|
Currently only offered in 40% of stores. Plans to add proprietary restaurant offering to every |
||||||
|
newly constructed store and to 30 to 45 existing stores. In addition, while currently focuses on |
||||||
|
breakfast and lunch, plans to include a dinner service in a variety of locations, which is expected |
||||||
|
to further drive profitability and same store sales growth. |
||||||
|
. Enhance Profitability Through Rebranding Initiative |
||||||
|
o As of July 2, 2006, 305 of 320 store locations were branded under the Circle K banner. The |
||||||
|
license agreement with Circle K licensor expires in November 2006. Does do not plan to renew |
||||||
|
the agreement and has started to rebrand all of convenience stores to the proprietary Stripes brand |
||||||
|
during the second half of 2006. |
||||||
|
o For the twelve months ended July 2, 2006, and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006, paid |
||||||
|
$3.6 million, and $3.4 million, respectively, for the use of the Circle K trade name and SUSS |
||||||
|
believes rebranding to Stripes will afford us more flexibility for future growth while enhancing |
||||||
|
profitability. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
Retail |
||||||
|
. Retail segment competes with other convenience store chains, independently owned convenience |
||||||
|
stores, motor fuel stations, supermarkets, drugstores, discount stores, dollar stores, club stores and |
||||||
|
hypermarkets. |
||||||
|
. Over the past ten years, several non-traditional retailers, such as supermarkets, club stores and |
||||||
|
hypermarkets, have impacted the convenience store industry, particularly in the geographic areas |
||||||
|
in which SUSS operates, by entering the motor fuel retail business. |
||||||
|
. These non-traditional motor fuel retailers have captured a significant share of the retail motor |
||||||
|
fuel market, and SUSS expects their market share will continue to grow. |
||||||
|
. In addition, some large retailers and supermarkets are adjusting their store layouts and product |
||||||
|
prices in an attempt to appeal to convenience store customers. |
||||||
|
Wholesale |
||||||
|
. SUSS’s wholesale segment competes with major oil companies that distribute their own |
||||||
|
products, as well as other independent third party motor fuel distributors. |
||||||
|
. SUSS may encounter more significant competition if major oil companies increase their own |
||||||
|
motor fuel distribution operations or wholesale customers choose to purchase their motor fuel |
||||||
|
supplies directly from the major oil companies |
||||||
|
Recapitilization in December 2005 |
||||||
|
. Wellspring Capital Partners III, L.P. invested $92 million in cash equity in Stripes Holdings LLC |
||||||
|
(merged into SUSS). Sam L. Susser, CEO, and certain members of management and board of |
||||||
|
directors rolled over $37 million in equity interests in Susser Holdings |
||||||
|
. Existing common and preferred unit holders of Susser Holdings received $276.8 million in |
||||||
|
aggregate merger consideration. |
||||||
|
. Susser Holdings, L.L.C. and a subsidiary, Susser Finance Corporation, issued $170 million |
||||||
|
aggregate principal amount of 10 5/8% senior notes due 2013. |
||||||
|
. SSP Partners, a subsidiary of Susser Holdings, L.L.C., sold 74 of SUSS’s retail stores to affiliates |
||||||
|
of National Retail Properties, Inc. for $170 million, and entered into leaseback agreements for |
||||||
|
each of the stores. |
||||||
|
. Susser Holdings. and SSP Partners entered into a new $50 million revolving credit facility. |
||||||
|
Use of $93.3mm in IPO proceeds |
||||||
|
