ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

On May 14, 2004, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. completed its previously
announced private placement of 2,949,000 shares of its common stock and warrants
to purchase 442,350 shares of its common stock at an aggregate price of
approximately $17.7 million, or $6.00 per unit, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $16.5 million, after deduction of transaction expenses. BioSante
also issued warrants to purchase 92,646 shares of common stock to its placement
agent in this private placement and its placement agent in its prior August 2003

general corporate purposes.

BioSante has agreed to register the resale of the shares sold in the private
placement, including the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, on a
