                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating
Expenses of the AVC Product Line of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These
statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses 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 Statements of
Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses were
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the current report on Form
8-K/A of Novavax, Inc.) as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the AVC Product Line's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of
operations described in Note 1 of the Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

1.     Basis of Presentation:

       The accompanying statements were prepared for the purpose of complying
       with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
       for inclusion in the current report on Form 8-K/A of Novavax, Inc.,
       ("Novavax") and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the AVC
       Product Line of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "AVC Product Line")
       revenues and expenses. King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("King") does not
       prepare financial statements of the AVC Product Line, which would be
       intended to report a complete presentation of financial position, results
       of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles
       generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the
       accompanying statements do not purport to present the results of
       operations of the AVC Product Line that would have resulted if King had
       operated its AVC Product Line as an independent company.

       An Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Assets relating to the AVC
       Product Line ("Purchase Agreement") was entered into between King and
       Novavax on January 8, 2001. Novavax acquired certain assets related to
       the AVC Product Line for $3,332, as defined in the Purchase Agreement.
       The purchase price is subject to a contingent payment by King to Novavax
       of up to $2,000 if net sales of the AVC product line do not exceed $850
       for each of the calendar years 2001 through 2004.

       The assets acquired as of January 8, 2001 represent certain intangible
       assets as defined in the Purchase Agreement. These assets include the
       right to the tradename in the United States and the goodwill associated
       with the tradename; the know-how relating to production, manufacturing,
       packaging, release, validation and stability of the products in the
       United States; the right to the new drug application for the AVC Product
       Line; and the trademark of the AVC Product Line.

       In addition to the Purchase Agreement, a supply agreement was also
       entered into on January 8, 2001 between King and Novavax. Pursuant to the
       supply agreement, King will supply Novavax the AVC Product Line at a
       price equal to 110% of King's cost for an initial term of twelve months
       from the effective date. The supply agreement will be automatically
       extended for an additional twelve months unless one of the parties
       terminate the agreement.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

       REVENUE RECOGNITION

       Sales are reported net of an estimate for returns and allowances, cash
       discounts, rebates and chargebacks. During the fourth quarter of 2000,
       King changed its accounting policy for recognizing product sales in
       accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
       Recognition in Financial Statements." Previously, sales were recognized
       upon shipment to the customer. The new policy recognizes that risks of
       ownership in some transactions do not substantively transfer to customers
       until the product has been received by them without regard to when legal
       title has transferred.

       NET SALES

       Net sales include certain sales deductions. Sales deductions include
       deductions specifically attributable to the AVC Product Line and
       deductions allocated to the AVC Product Line by management. Management
       believes this method of allocation is reasonable. The types of deductions
       included in the calculation of net sales are as follows:

       -      Sales Returns - Sales returns are directly attributable to
              identifiable products based on actual sales returns.
       -      Cash Discounts - Cash discounts are allocated to the AVC Product
              Line monthly, as a percentage of actual gross sales to total gross
              sales of King.
       -      Sales Rebates - Rebates are allocated to the AVC Product Line
              monthly based on gross sales, using a historical percentage of
              gross sales.
       -      Chargebacks - Chargebacks are allocated to the AVC Product Line
              monthly based on gross sales, using a historical percentage of
              gross sales.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

       COST OF SALES

       The products included in the AVC Product Line are manufactured by a third
       party. Cost of sales include direct costs paid to the third-party
       manufacturer.

       SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

       Selling costs consist primarily of sales force employment costs (salaries
       and bonuses). General and administrative costs include expenses for
       administrative services, such as finance, human resources, legal,
       information systems, and other corporate affairs. These costs are
       allocated based on a percentage of net sales. Such percentage is
       determined by dividing total King selling, general and administrative
       costs by total King net sales. Management believes this method of
       allocation is reasonable.

       AMORTIZATION

       Amortization is computed over the estimated useful life of the product,
       30 years, using the straight-line method.

       USE OF ESTIMATES

       The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
       principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
       management to make estimates and assumptions. Revenues and expenses, and
       disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities are affected by such
       estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


         The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations assume that
the acquisition of the AVC Product Line ("AVC") had occurred on January 1, 1999,
combining the results of operations of Novavax, Inc. (the "Company") and AVC for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the nine months ended September 30,
2000. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of September
30, 2000 reflects the acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2000.

         On January 8, 2001, Novavax acquired certain intangible assets related
to the AVC(TM) Product Line of sulfanilamide based vaginal anti-infective cream
and suppositories in the United States and Puerto Rice from King
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("King") for $3.3 million. In addition, Novavax agreed to
purchase all AVC inventories that had expiration dates greater than 18 months.
The value of this inventory was approximately $400,000 and was delivered to
Novavax in February 2001. No further liabilities were assumed.

     The proforma information is based on the historical financial statements of
the Company and the historical statement of revenues and direct operating
expenses of AVC, after giving effect to the acquisition using the purchase
method of accounting and assumptions and adjustments considered appropriate by
the Company, certain of which are described in the accompanying Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information. The pro forma information is
provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations or financial condition that actually would have been
obtained if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or of the
results that may be obtained in the future.

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes
thereto of the Company and the historical statement of revenues and direct
operating expenses of AVC. The historical statement of revenues and direct
operating expenses of AVC and the related notes thereto are included herein. The
historical financial statements of Novavax, Inc. and the related notes thereto
have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are
available from the Company upon written request.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       Novavax, Inc. ("Novavax" or the "Company") is a biopharmaceutical company
focused on the research and development of proprietary drug delivery and
encapsulation technologies. The AVC Product Line had been acquired and marketed
by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("King") through King's women's health care sales
force since January 1999.

       The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations assume that the
acquisition of the AVC Product Line ("AVC") had occurred on January 1, 1999,
combining the results of operations of Novavax, Inc. (the "Company") and
Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of AVC for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2000
reflects the acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2000.

       The Unaudited Pro Forma statements were prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for inclusion in the current report on Form 8-K/A of Novavax, and are
not intended to be a complete presentation of AVC and Novavax's combined results
of operations. King did not prepare financial statements of AVC, which would be
intended to report a complete presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the accompanying
Unaudited Pro Forma statements do not purport to present the actual results of
operations of AVC that would have resulted if Novavax had acquired AVC in
January 1999.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION OF BIOMEDICAL SERVICES DIVISION

       On January 8, 2001, Novavax acquired certain assets related to the AVC
Product Line of sulfanilamide based vaginal anti-infective cream and
suppositories in the United States and Puerto Rice from King for $3.3 million.
The assets acquired represent certain intangible assets as defined in the
Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Assets relating to the AVC Product Line
("Purchase Agreement"). These assets include the right to the tradename in the
United States and the goodwill associated with the tradename; the know-how
relating to production, manufacturing, packaging, release, validation and
stability of the products in the United States; and the right to the new drug
application for AVC. In addition to the Purchase Agreement, a Supply Agreement
was also entered into on January 8, 2001 between King and Novavax. Pursuant to
the Supply Agreement, King will supply Novavax the AVC Product Line at a price
equal to 110% of King's cost for an initial term of twelve months from the
effective date. The Supply Agreement will be automatically extended for an
additional twelve months unless one of the parties terminate the agreement.
Novavax initially agreed to purchase all AVC inventories that had expiration
dates greater than 18 months. The value of this inventory was approximately
$400,000 and was delivered to Novavax in February 2001. No other liabilities
were assumed.
