REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Overview Univec, Inc. is an integrated licensing, manufacturing, and marketing company operating two divisions dedicated to providing safer health products to patients and caregivers worldwide. The Company’s Syringe Division develops, licenses and markets auto-disable and safety syringes worldwide. The Physician and Pharmaceutical Services Division assists pharmaceutical companies in marketing, fulfillment and tracking drug samples via an online system connecting pharmacies and managed payment providers. We are a Delaware corporation incorporated on October 7, 1996, and the successor by merger to Univec, Inc., a New York corporation, incorporated on August 18, 1992.
On December 31, 2001, we acquired PPSI a company engaged in group purchasing (GPO) and promoting Pharmaceutical company prescription samples to physicians for their patients. PPSI reduces the cost in the prescription-sampling channel by providing efficient fulfillment and tracking of prescription usage. PPSI’s national network of pharmacies fills the sample prescription on a discounted fee and the Company’s mail service fulfillment complements additional needs. PPSI’s approach conforms to regulations requiring increased accountability and elimination of diversion of prescription samples, consequently reducing the exposure of physicians and pharmaceutical companies to potential liabilities and non-compliance penalties.

Our principal competition is from manufacturers of traditional disposable syringes. Becton-Dickinson, Tyco and Terumo Medical Corporation of Japan control approximately 90%, of the worldwide syringe market, and are substantially larger, more established and have significantly greater financial, sales and marketing, distribution, engineering, research and development and other resources than we do. To our knowledge, only Becton-Dickinson and Bader & Partner Medizintechnik GmbH, a German machine tool manufacturer, distribute commercially a line of difficult to reuse syringes, none of which allow for aspiration.
