General
 
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and intends to commercialize pharmaceutical products for the treatment of serious medical conditions. We are currently focused on three clinical development programs: IL-1 Trap (rilonacept) in various inflammatory indications, the VEGF Trap in oncology, and the VEGF Trap eye formulation (VEGF Trap-Eye) in eye diseases using intraocular delivery, and IL-1 Trap in various systemic inflammatory indications.delivery. The VEGF Trap oncology development program is being developed jointlyin oncology in collaboration with the sanofi-aventis Group under a September 2003Group. In October 2006, we entered into collaboration agreement.with Bayer HealthCare LLC for the development of the VEGF-Trap-Eye. Our preclinical research programs are in the areas of oncology and angiogenesis, ophthalmology, metabolic and related diseases, muscle diseases and disorders, inflammation and immune diseases, bone and cartilage, pain, and cardiovascular diseases. We expect that our next generation of product candidates will be based on our proprietary technologies for developing Trapsdiscovering and Human Monoclonal Antibodies.producing human monoclonal antibodies. Developing and commercializing new medicines entails significant risk and expense. Since inception we have not generated any sales or profits from the commercialization of any of our product candidates.
 
Our core business strategy is to maintain a strong foundation in basic scientific research and discovery-enabling technology and combine that foundation with our manufacturing and clinical development capabilities to build a successful, integrated biopharmaceutical company. Our efforts have yielded a diverse pipeline of product candidates that we believe has the potential to address a variety of serious medical conditions. We believe that our ability to develop product candidates is enhanced by the application of our technology platforms. Our discovery platforms are designed to identify specific genes of therapeutic interest for a particular disease or cell type and validate targets through high-throughput production of mammalian models. Our Traps, Human Monoclonal Antibodyhuman monoclonal antibody (VelocImmunetm®), and cell line expression technologies may then be utilized to design and produce new product candidates directed against the disease target. Based on the VelocImmune platform which we believe, in conjunction with our other proprietary technologies, can accelerate the development of fully human monoclonal antibodies, we plan to move two new antibody candidates into clinical trials each year going forward beginning around the end of 2007. We continue to invest in the development of enabling technologies to assist in our efforts to identify, develop, and commercialize new product candidates.
 
Clinical Programs:
 
  1.  IL-1 Trap — Inflammatory Diseases
1.  VEGF
The IL-1 Trap — Oncology(rilonacept) is a protein-based product candidate designed to bind the interleukin-1 (called IL-1) cytokine and prevent its interaction with cell surface receptors. We are evaluating the IL-1 Trap in a number of diseases and disorders in which IL-1 may play an important role, including a spectrum of rare diseases called Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) and other diseases associated with inflammation.
In October 2006, we announced positive data from a Phase 3 clinical program designed to provide two separate demonstrations of efficacy for the IL-1 Trap within a single group of adult patients suffering from CAPS. The Phase 3 program of the IL-1 Trap included two studies (Part A and Part B). Both studies met their primary endpoints (Part A: p < 0.0001 and Part B: p < 0.001). The primary endpoint of both studies was the change in disease activity,


1


which was measured using a composite symptom score composed of a daily evaluation of fever/chills, rash, fatigue, joint pain, and eye redness/pain.
We plan to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second quarter of 2007, following completion of a24-week open-label extension phase. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug status and Fast Track designation to the IL-1 Trap for the treatment of CAPS.
The first study (Part A) was a double-blind and placebo-controlled6-week trial, in which patients randomized to receive the IL-1 Trap had an approximate 85% reduction in their mean symptom score compared to an approximate 13% reduction in patients treated with placebo (p<0.0001). Following a9-week interval during which all patients received the IL-1 Trap, a “randomized withdrawal” study (Part B) was performed, in which the same patients were re-randomized to either switch to placebo or continue treatment with the IL-1 Trap in a double-blind manner. During the9-week randomized withdrawal period, patients who were switched to placebo had a five-fold increase in their mean symptom score, compared with those remaining on the IL-1 Trap who had no significant change (p=.0002). Both the Part A and Part B studies achieved statistical significance in all of their pre-specified secondary and exploratory endpoints.
Preliminary analysis of the safety data from both studies indicated that there were no drug-related serious adverse events. Injection site reactions and upper respiratory tract infections, all mild to moderate in nature, occurred more frequently in patients while on the IL-1 Trap than on placebo. In these two studies, the IL-1 Trap appeared to be well tolerated; 46 of 47 randomized patients completed the Part A study, and 44 of 45 randomized patients completed the Part B study. The24-week open-label extension phase is ongoing.
CAPS is a spectrum of rare inherited inflammatory conditions, including Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS), Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS), and Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID). These syndromes are characterized by spontaneous systemic inflammation and are termed autoinflammatory disorders. A novel feature of these conditions (particularly FCAS and MWS) is that exposure to mild degrees of cold temperature can provoke a major inflammatory episode that occurs within hours. CAPS are caused by a range of mutations in the geneCIAS1(also known as NALP3) which encodes a protein named cryopyrin (“icy-fire”). Currently, there are no medicines approved for the treatment of CAPS.
We are also evaluating the potential use of the IL-1 Trap in other indications in which IL-1 may play a role. Based on preclinical evidence that IL-1 appears to play a critical role in gout, we initiated a proof of concept study of the IL-1 Trap in gout in the first quarter of 2007. We are also preparing to initiate exploratory proof of concept studies of the IL-1 Trap in other indications.
Under a March 2003 collaboration agreement with Novartis Pharma AG, we retain the right to elect to collaborate in the future development and commercialization of a Novartis IL-1 antibody, which is in clinical development. Following completion of Phase 2 development and submission to us of a written report on the Novartis IL-1 antibody, we have the right, in consideration for an opt-in payment, to elect to co-develop and co-commercialize the Novartis IL-1 antibody in North America. If we elect to exercise this right, we are responsible for paying 45% of post-election North American development costs for the antibody product. In return, we are entitled to co-promote the Novartis IL-1 antibody and to receive 45% of net profits on sales of the antibody product in North America. Under certain circumstances, we are also entitled to receive royalties on sales of the Novartis IL-1 antibody in Europe.
In addition, under the collaboration agreement, Novartis has the right to elect to collaborate in the development and commercialization of a second generation IL-1 Trap following completion of its Phase 2 development, should we decide to clinically develop such a second generation product candidate. Novartis does not have any rights or options with respect to our IL-1 Trap currently in clinical development.
  2.  VEGF Trap — Oncology
 
The VEGF Trap is a protein-based product candidate designed to bind all forms of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (called VEGF-A, also known as Vascular Permeability Factor or VPF) and the related Placental Growth Factor (called PlGF), and prevent their interaction with cell surface receptors. VEGF-A (and to a less


2


validated degree, PlGF) is required for the growth of new blood vessels that are needed for tumors to grow and is a potent regulator of vascular permeability and leakage.
The VEGF Trap is being developed in cancer indications in collaboration with sanofi-aventis, as described insanofi-aventis. Currently, the section below entitled “Collaborationcollaboration is conducting Phase 2 studies, with the sanofi-aventis Group.”
In September 2005, we announced that we and sanofi-aventis were expanding the VEGF Trap oncology program and would initiate trials in various cancer indications. The companies have initiated a single-agent phase 2 study of the VEGF Trap in non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma. Two additional phase 2 single-agent safety/efficacy studies,patient enrollment underway in advanced ovarian cancer (AOC), non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (NSCLA), and AOC patients with symptomatic malignant ascites are planned to begin during the first quarter of 2006.(SMA). In 2004, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation to the VEGF Trap for the treatment of symptomaticSMA. Sanofi-aventis reported in February 2007 that a registration filing is possible for the VEGF Trap in at least one of these single-agent indications in 2008.
In addition, five new Phase 2 single-agent studies have begun in conjunction with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, metastatic colorectal cancer, recurrent or metastatic cancer of the urothelium, locally advanced or metastatic gynecological soft tissue sarcoma, and recurrent malignant ascites.

gliomas. An additional study is expected to begin shortly in metastatic breast cancer. The companies planare working to conduct threefinalize plans with NCI/CTEP for at least four additional trials usingin different cancer types.
We and sanofi-aventis intend to initiate five Phase 3 trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of the VEGF Trap in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens; tworegimens in specific cancer types, the first three of which are planned to begin as early asin 2007. The companies plan to initiate these Phase 3 trials in the second half of 2006, assuming successful completion of initialfollowing indications:
• first-line metastatic hormone resistant prostate cancer in combination with Taxotere®,
• first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer in combination with gemcitabine-based regimen,
• first-line gastric cancer in combination with Taxotere®,
• second-line non-small cell lung cancer in combination with Taxotere®, and
• second-line metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with FOLFIRI (Folinic Acid, Fluorouracil, and irinotecan).
Five safety and tolerability studies. Threestudies of the VEGF Trap in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens are continuing in a variety of cancer types to support the planned Phase 3 clinical program. The companies have previously summarized information from two of these safety and tolerability trials. One study is evaluating the VEGF Trap in combination studies were initiatedwith oxaliplatin, 5-flourouracil, and leucovorin (FOLFOX4) in 2005a Phase 1 trial of patients with advanced solid tumors. Another study is evaluating the VEGF Trap in combination with irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, and two more beganleucovorin (LV5FU2-CPT11) in a Phase 1 trial of patients with advanced solid tumors. Abstracts published in the first quarter of 2006.2006 ASCO Annual Meeting Proceedings reported that the VEGF Trap could be safely combined with either FOLFOX4 or LV5FU2-CPT11 at the dose levels studied. The companies are also workingevaluating the VEGF Trap in separate Phase 1b studies in combination with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Therapeutics Evaluation Program to commence up to ten additional cancer trials in 2006.Taxotere®, cisplatin, and fluouracil; with Taxotere® and cisplatin; and with gemcitabine-erlotinib.
 
Cancer is a heterogeneous set of diseases and one of the leading causes of death in the developed world. A mutation in any one of dozens of normal genes can eventually result in a cell becoming cancerous; however, a common feature of cancer cells is that they need to obtain nutrients and remove waste products, just as normal cells do. The vascular system normally supplies nutrients to and removes waste from normal tissues. Cancer cells can use the vascular system either by taking over preexisting blood vessels or by promoting the growth of new blood vessels (a process known as angiogenesis). VEGF is secreted by many tumors to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels to supportsupply nutrients and oxygen to the tumor. VEGF blockers have been shown to inhibit new vessel growth; and, in some cases, can cause regression of existing tumor vasculature. Countering the effects of VEGF, thereby blocking the blood supply to tumors, has been shown to providedemonstrated therapeutic benefits.benefits in clinical trials. This approach of inhibiting angiogenesis as a mechanism of action for an oncology medicine was validated in February 2004, when the FDA approved Genentech, Inc.’s VEGF inhibitor, Avastin®. Avastin is an antibody product designed to inhibit VEGF and interfere with the blood supply to tumors.

Collaboration with the sanofi-aventis Group
 
In September 2003, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (now a member of the(predecessor to sanofi-aventis Group)U.S.) to collaborate on the development and commercialization of the VEGF Trap in all countries other than Japan, where we retained the exclusive right to develop and commercialize the VEGF Trap. Sanofi-aventis made a non-refundable up-front payment of $80.0 million and purchased 2,799,552 newly issued unregistered shares of our Common Stock for $45.0 million.
In January 2005, we and sanofi-aventis amended the collaboration agreement to exclude from the scope of the collaboration the development and commercialization of the VEGF Trap for intraocular delivery to the eye. In connection with the amendment, sanofi-aventis made a one-time payment to us of $25.0 million in January 2005, of which 50% is repayable to sanofi-aventis following commercialization of the VEGF Trap in accordance with the terms of the amendment.
In December 2005, we and sanofi-aventis amended our collaboration agreement to expand the territory in which the companies are collaborating on the development of the VEGF Trap to include Japan. In connection with this amendment, sanofi-aventis agreed to make a $25.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to us, which was received in January 2006. We may also receive up to $40.0 million in milestone payments upon receipt of marketing approvals in Japan and a royalty of approximately 35% on annual sales of the VEGF Trap in Japan, subject to certain potential adjustments.
Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, we and sanofi-aventis will share co-promotion rights and profits on sales, if any, of the VEGF Trap outside of Japan for disease indications included in our collaboration. We are entitled to a royalty of approximately 35% on annual sales of the VEGF Trap in Japan, subject to certain potential adjustments. We may also receive up to $400.0 million in additional milestone payments upon receipt of specified marketing approvals, includingapprovals. This total includes up to $360.0 million in milestone payments related to receipt of marketing approvals for up to eight VEGF Trap oncology and other indications in the United States or the European Union. In December 2004, we earned a $25.0Another $40.0 million payment from sanofi-aventis, which was received in January 2005, upon the achievement of an early-stage clinical milestone.
Regeneron has agreedmilestone payments relate to continuereceipt of marketing approvals for up to manufacture clinical supplies of thefive VEGF Trap at our plantoncology indications in Rensselaer, New York. Sanofi-aventis has agreed to be responsible for providing commercial scale manufacturing capacity for the VEGF Trap.Japan.
 
Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, agreed upon worldwide development expenses incurred by both companies during the term of the agreement will be funded by sanofi-aventis. If the collaboration becomes profitable, we will be obligated to reimburse sanofi-aventis for 50% of thesethe VEGF Trap development expenses including 50% of the $25.0 million payment received in connection with the January 2005 amendment to our collaboration agreement, in accordance with a formula based on the amount of development expenses and our share of the collaboration profits and Japan royalties, or at a faster rate at our option. Since inception of the collaboration through December 31, 2005, we and sanofi-aventis have incurred $130.5 million in agreed upon development


2


expenses related to the VEGF Trap program. In addition, if the first commercial sale of a VEGF Trap product for intraocular delivery to the eye predates the first commercial sale of a VEGF Trap product under the collaboration by two years, we will begin reimbursing sanofi-aventis for up to $7.5 million of VEGF Trap development expenses in accordance with a formula until the first commercial VEGF Trap sale under the collaboration occurs.
 
  3.  VEGF Trap — Eye Diseases
Sanofi-aventis has the right to terminate the agreement without cause with at least twelve months advance notice. Upon termination of the agreement for any reason, any remaining obligation to reimburse sanofi-aventis for 50%
The VEGF Trap-Eye is a form of the VEGF Trap development expenses will terminate and we will retain all rights to the VEGF Trap.
2.  VEGF Trap — Eye Diseases
We are developing the VEGF Trap-Eye for the treatment of certain eye diseases. This product candidatethat has been purified and formulated inwith excipients and at concentrations suitable for direct injection into the eye. We retain the exclusive right to develop and commercialize theThe VEGF Trap-Eye for the treatment of eye diseases utilizing local (intravitreal) delivery to the eye.
In February 2006, we announced positive preliminary results from an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation study of the VEGF Trap-Eyecurrently is being tested in a Phase 2 trial in patients with the neovascular form of age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and in a small pilot study in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).
In the second quarter of 2006, we initiated a 150 patient, 12 week, Phase 2 trial of the VEGF Trap-Eye in wet AMD. The phase 1 trial is a two-part, dose-escalating study designed to assessevaluating the safety and biological effect of treatment with multiple doses of the VEGF Trap-Eye using different doses and different dosing regimens. We expect to report initial three-month data from the first 75 patients enrolled in the Phase 2 trial in early 2007 and complete three-month data on all 150 patients enrolled in the study by the end of the year. We are also conducting a Phase 1 safety and tolerability trial of a new formulation of the VEGF Trap-Eye in wet AMD. An initial Phase 3 trial of the VEGF Trap-Eye in wet AMD utilizing the new formulation is planned to begin in the second half of 2007, and a second Phase 3 trial is planned once the full data from the Phase 2 trial has been analyzed.
Also in the second quarter of 2006, we initiated a small pilot study of the VEGF Trap in patients with DME.
At the 2006 American Society of Retinal Specialists (ASRS) annual meeting in France, we updated the positive preliminary results from a Phase 1 trial of the VEGF Trap-Eye in patients with wet AMD. In part A total of this trial,21 patients received a single dose of the VEGF Trap-Eye delivered by intravitrealat doses of 0.05, 0.15, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 milligrams (mg) intravitreally (direct injection into the eye, after which they areeye). Patients were evaluated for three monthssix weeks to measure the durability of effects and provide guidance for dosing regimens to be used in future trials. A total of 21 patients received a single dose of VEGF Trap-Eye at doses up to 4 milligrams (mg) intravitreally. All dose levels were generally well tolerated, and a maximum tolerated dose was not reached in the study. Clinical investigators at a scientific conference recently reported positive preliminary resultsIn wet AMD, the leakiness of this study at doses upthe abnormal blood vessels in the eye can lead to 2 mg. The investigators reported thatincreased retinal thickness. On average, patients receiving the VEGF Trap-Eye demonstrated large, rapid, substantial, and prolonged (up to foursustained (at least six weeks) reductions in retinal thickness. Excess retinal thickness, as determined by ocular coherence tomography (OCT), is a clinical measure of disease activity in wet AMD. Although dosing has been completed, patients in this trial are still being evaluated to measure the durability of drug effect (asAs measured by optical coherence tomography) pursuant to the study protocol.
In February 2006, we initiated part B ofOCT reading center (posterior pole OCT scans), the phase 1 trial. In this part ofmedian excess retinal thickness resulting from the trial, we plan to evaluate the safety and tolerability ofdisease process was 194 microns at baseline. Following a single intravitreal injectiondose of the VEGF Trap-Eye, compared with Macugen® (Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc.),median excess retinal thickness was reduced to 60 microns, an approved treatment for wet AMD. We planimprovement that was sustained over a six week period. As measured by the computerized Fast Macular Scan protocol, the median excess retinal thickness was 119 microns at baseline, which was reduced to initiate a phase 2 trial27 microns at six weeks after the single dose of the VEGF Trap-Eye delivered intravitreallyTrap-Eye.

Of the 20 patients evaluable for efficacy, 95 percent had stabilization or improvement in patientsvisual acuity, defined as 15 letter loss on the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) eye chart. Patients were also evaluated for best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the best acuity a person can achieve with wet AMDglasses. BCVA for all patients in the first halfstudy increased by a mean of 2006.4.8 letters at six weeks. In the two highest dose groups (2 mg and 4 mg), the mean improvement in BCVA was 13.5 letters, with three of six patients showing an improvement in BCVA of 15 or more letters.
 
VEGF-A both stimulates angiogenesis and increases vascular permeability. It has been shown in preclinical studies to be a major pathogenic factor in both wet AMD and Diabetic Retinopathy,diabetic retinopathy, and it is believed to be involved in other medical problems affecting the eyes. In clinical trials, blocking VEGF-A has been shown to be effective in patients with wet AMD, and Macugen has® (OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and Lucentis® (Genentech, Inc.) have been approved to treat patients with this condition.
 
Wet AMD and Diabetic Retinopathydiabetic retinopathy (DR) are two of the leading causes of adult blindness in the developed world. In both conditions, severe visualvision loss is caused by a combination of retinal edema and neovascular proliferation. It is estimated that in the U.S., 6% of individuals aged65-74 and 20% of those older than 75 are affected with wet AMD. DR is a major complication of diabetes mellitus that can lead to significant vision impairment. DR is characterized, in part, by vascular leakage, which results in the collection of fluid in the retina. When the macula, the central area of the retina that is responsible for fine visual acuity, is involved, loss of visual acuity occurs. This is referred to as Diabetic Macular Edemadiabetic macular edema (DME). DME is the most prevalent cause of moderate visual loss in patients with diabetes.
 
3.  IL-1 Trap — Inflammatory DiseasesCollaboration with Bayer HealthCare
 
In October 2006, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Bayer HealthCare for the global development, and commercialization outside the United States, of the VEGF Trap-Eye. Under the agreement we and Bayer will collaborate on, and share the costs of, the development of the VEGF Trap-Eye through an integrated global plan that encompasses wet AMD, diabetic eye diseases, and other diseases and disorders. The IL-1 Trapcompanies will share equally in profits from any future sales of the VEGF Trap-Eye outside the United States. If the VEGF Trap-Eye is a protein-based product candidate designed to bind the interleukin-1 (called IL-1) cytokine and prevent its interaction with cell surface receptors.
We are evaluating the IL-1 Trapgranted marketing authorization in a number of diseasesmajor market country outside the United States and disorders where IL-1 may play an important role, including diseases associated with inflammation. These diseases include Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA), Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR), certain inflammatory vascular diseases, and a spectrum of rare diseases calledCIAS1-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS).

In the fourth quarter of 2005,collaboration becomes profitable, we initiated a pivotal studywill be obligated to reimburse Bayer for 50% of the IL-1 Trap in patients with CAPS. This study will include a six-month, placebo-controlled efficacy phase, followed by a six-month open-label extension phase. We plan to completedevelopment costs that it has incurred under the efficacy phaseagreement from our share of this trial by the end of 2006. In December 2004,collaboration profits. Within the FDA granted orphan drug statusUnited States, we retained exclusive commercialization rights to the IL-1 Trap forVEGF Trap-Eye and are entitled to all profits from any such sales. We received an up-front payment of $75.0 million from Bayer and can earn up to $110.0 million in total development and regulatory milestones related to the treatment of CAPS.
We currently have underwayproof-of-concept trialsdevelopment of the IL-1 TrapVEGF Trap-Eye and marketing approvals in patients with SJIA and PMR. In April 2005, the FDA granted orphan drug status to the IL-1 Trap for the treatment of SJIA. Following successful completion of these trials, we may initiate additional trials for these indications.
An IL-1 receptor antagonist, Kineret® (Amgen Inc.), has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It has been publicly reported that in small trials, Kineret® appears to reduce the symptoms in CAPS patients and SJIA patients, which supports the role of IL-1 in these diseases. CAPS includes rare genetic disorders, such as Familial Cold Auto-Inflammatory Syndrome (FCAS), Muckle Wells Syndrome, and Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disorder (NOMID), which affect a small group of people. Patients with these disorders develop fever, joint aches, headaches, and rashes. In certain indications, these symptoms can be extremely serious. There are no currently approved therapies for CAPS. SJIA is a severe inflammatory disorder, which may be debilitating or fatal. It is estimated that there are between 5,000 and 10,000 children with SJIA inmajor market countries outside the United States. We can also earn up to $135.0 million in sales milestones if total annual sales of the VEGF Trap outside the United States achieve certain specified levels starting at $200 million.
 
Research Technologies:
 
One way that a cell communicates with other cells is by releasing specific signaling proteins, either locally or into the bloodstream. These proteins have distinct functions, and are classified into different “families” of molecules, such as peptide hormones, growth factors, and cytokines. All of these secreted (or signaling) proteins travel to and are recognized by another set of proteins, called “receptors,” which reside on the surface of responding cells. These secreted proteins impact many critical cellular and biological processes, causing diverse effects ranging from the regulation of growth of particular cell types, to inflammation mediated by white blood cells. Secreted proteins can at times be overactive and thus result in a variety of diseases. In these disease settings, blocking the action of secreted proteins can have clinical benefit.
 
Regeneron scientists have developed two different technologies to design protein therapeutics to block the action of specific secreted proteins. The first technology, termed the “Trap” technology, was used to generate our current clinical pipeline, including the VEGF Trap, the VEGF Trap-Eye, and the IL-1 Trap. These novel “Traps” are composed of fusions between two distinct receptor components and the constant region of an antibody molecule called the “Fc region”, resulting in high affinity product candidates. Our

Regeneron scientists also have discovered and developed a new technology for designing protein therapeutics that focuses on the discovery and production of fully human monoclonal antibodies. With the global market for approved monoclonal antibody therapeutics exceeding $11 billion, there is a growing demand for monoclonal antibody technologies to help turn genomic discoveries into product candidates. We call our technology VelocImmunetm®and, as described below, believe that it is a unique way of generating a wide variety of high affinity therapeutic, human monoclonal antibodies.
 
VelocImmunetm® (Human Monoclonal Antibodies)(Human Monoclonal Antibodies)
 
We have developed a novel mouse technology platform, called VelocImmune, for producing fully human monoclonal antibodies. The VelocImmune mouse platform was generated by exploiting our VelociGene technology platform (see below), in a process in which severalsix megabases of mouse immune gene loci were replaced or “humanized” with corresponding human immune gene loci. The VelocImmune mice can be used to generate efficiently generate fully human monoclonal antibodies to targets of therapeutic interest. VelocImmune and our related technologies offer the potential to increase the speed and efficiency through which human monoclonal antibody therapeutics may be discovered and validated, thereby improving the overall efficiency of our early stage drug development activities. We are utilizing the VelocImmune technology to produce our next generation of drug candidates for preclinical development and are exploring the possibility of entering intopossible licensing or collaborative arrangements with third parties related to VelocImmune and related technologies.

License Agreement with AstraZeneca
In February 2007, we entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with AstraZeneca that will allow AstraZeneca to utilize our VelocImmune technology in its internal research programs to discover human monoclonal antibodies. Under the terms of the agreement, AstraZeneca made a $20.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to us. AstraZeneca also will make up to five additional annual payments of $20.0 million, subject to its ability to terminate the agreement after making the first three additional payments or earlier if the technology does not meet minimum performance criteria. We are entitled to receive a mid-single-digit royalty on any future sales of antibody products discovered by AstraZeneca using our VelocImmune technology.
VelociGene® and VelociMousetmand VelociMousetm(Target Validation) (Target Validation)
 
Our VelociGene platform allows custom and precise manipulation of very large sequences of DNA to produce highly customized alterations of a specified target gene and accelerates the production of knock-out and transgenic expression models without using either positive/negative selection or isogenic DNA. In producing knock-out models, a color or fluorescent marker is substituted in place of the actual gene sequence, allowing for high-resolution visualization of precisely where the gene is active in the body, during normal body functioning, as well as in disease processes. For the optimization of preclinicalpre-clinical development and toxicology programs, VelociGene offers the opportunity to humanize targets by replacing the mouse gene with the human homolog. Thus, VelociGene allows scientists to rapidly identify the physical and biological effects of deleting or over-expressing the target gene, as well as to characterize and test potential therapeutic molecules.
 
The VelociMouse technology also allows for the direct and immediate generation of genetically altered mice from ES cells, thereby avoiding the lengthy process involved in generating and breeding knock-outknockout mice from chimeras. Mice generated through this method are normal and healthy and exhibit a 100% germ-line transmission frequency. Furthermore, Regeneron’s VelocimiceVelociMice are suitable for direct phenotyping or other studies.
 
National Institutes of Health Grant
In September 2006, we were awarded a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as part of the NIH’s Knockout Mouse Project. The goal of the Knockout Mouse Project is to build a comprehensive and broadly available resource of knockout mice to accelerate the understanding of gene function and human diseases. We will use our VelociGene technology to take aim at 3,500 of the most difficult genes to target and which are not currently the focus of other large-scale knockout mouse programs. We have also agreed to grant a limited license to a consortium of research institutions, the other major participants in the Knockout Mouse Project, to use components of our VelociGene technology in the Knockout Mouse Project. We will generate a collection of targeting vectors and targeted mouse embryonic stem cells (ES cells) which can be used to produce knockout mice.

These materials will be made widely available to academic researchers without charge. We will receive a fee for each targeted ES cell line or targeting construct made by us or the research consortium and transferred to commercial entities.
Under the NIH grant, we will be entitled to receive a minimum of $17.9 million over a five-year period. We will receive another $1.0 million to optimize our existing C57BL/6 ES cell line and its proprietary growth medium, both of which will be supplied to the research consortium for its use in the Knockout Mouse Project. We will have the right to use, for any purpose, all materials generated by us and the research consortium.
Cell Line Expression Technologies
 
Many proteins that are of potential pharmaceutical value are proteins which are “secreted” from the cells into the bloodstream. Examples of secreted proteins include growth factors (such as insulin and growth hormone) and antibodies. Current technologies for the isolation of cells engineered to produce high levels of secreted proteins are both laborious and time consuming. We have developed enabling platforms for the high-throughput, rapid generation of high-producing cell lines for our Traps and VelocImmune Human Monoclonal Antibodies.human monoclonal antibodies.
 
Research Programs:
 
Oncology and Angiogenesis
 
In many clinical settings, positively or negatively regulating blood vessel growth could have important therapeutic benefits, as could the repair of damaged and leaky vessels. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) was the first growth factor shown to be specific for blood vessels, by virtue of having its receptor specifically expressed on blood vessel cells. In 1994, we discovered a second family of angiogenic growth factors, termed the Angiopoietins, and we have received patents covering members of this family. The Angiopoietins include naturally occurring positive and negative regulators of angiogenesis, as described in numerous scientific manuscripts published by our scientists and their collaborators. The Angiopoietins are being evaluated in preclinical research by us and our academic collaborators. Our preclinical studies have revealed that VEGF and the Angiopoietins normally function in a coordinated and collaborative manner during blood vessel growth. In terms of blocking vessel growth, manipulationManipulation of both VEGF and Angiopoietins seems to be of value.value in blocking vessel growth. We have research programs focusing on several targets in the areas of oncology and angiogenesis.
Tumors depend on the growth of new blood vessels (a process called “angiogenesis”) to support their continued growth. Therapies that block tumor angiogenesis, specifically those that block VEGF, the key initiator of tumor angiogenesis, recently have been validated in human cancer patients. However, anti-VEGF approaches do not work in all patients, and many tumors can become resistant to such therapies.
In the December 21, 2006 issue of the journalNature,we reported data from a preclinical study demonstrating that blocking an important cell signaling molecule, known as Delta-like Ligand 4 (Dll4), inhibited the growth of experimental tumors by interfering with their ability to produce a functional blood supply. The inhibition of tumor growth was seen in a variety of tumor types, including those that were resistant to blockade of VEGF, suggesting a novel anti-angiogenesis therapeutic approach. A fully human monoclonal antibody to Dll4, that was discovered using our VelocImmune technology, is in preclinical development.
 
Metabolic and Related Diseases
 
Food intake and metabolism are regulated by complex interactions between diverse neural and hormonal signals that serve to maintain an optimal balance between energy intake, storage, and utilization. The hypothalamus, a small area at the base of the brain, is critically involved in the integration of peripheral signals which reflect nutritional status and neural outputs which regulate appetite, food seeking behaviors, and energy expenditure. Metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, reflect a dysregulation in the systems which ordinarily tightly couple energy intake to energy expenditure. Our preclinical research program in this area encompasses the study of peripheral (hormonal) regulators of food intake and metabolism in health and disease. We have identified several targets in these therapeutic areas and are evaluating potential antibodies to evaluate in preclinical studies.

Muscle Diseases and Disorders
 
Muscle atrophy occurs in many neuromuscular diseases and also when muscle is unused, as often occurs during prolonged hospital stays and during convalescence. Currently, physicians have few options to treat subjects


5


with muscle atrophy or other muscle conditions which afflict millions of people globally. Thus, a treatment that has beneficial effects on skeletal muscle could have significant clinical benefit. Our muscle research program is currently focused on conducting in vivo and in vitro experiments with the objective of demonstrating and further understanding the molecular pathways involved in muscle atrophy and hypertrophy, and discovering therapeutic candidates that can modulate these pathways. We have several molecules in late stage research and are evaluating them for possible further development.
 
Other Therapeutic Areas
 
We have research programs focusing on inflammatory and immune diseases, pain, bone and cartilage, ophthalmology, and cardiovascular diseases.
 
Manufacturing
 
In 1993, we purchased our 104,000 square foot Rensselaer, New York manufacturing facility, and in 2003 completed a 19,500 square foot expansion. This facility is used to manufacture therapeutic candidates for our own preclinical and clinical studies. We also useused the facility to manufacture a product for Merck & Co., Inc. under a contract that expiresexpired in October 2006. In July 2002, we leased 75,000 square feet in a building near our Rensselaer facility which is being used for the manufacture of Traps and for warehouse space. At December 31, 2005,2006, we employed 230188 people at these owned and leased manufacturing facilities. There were no impairment losses associated with long-lived assets at these facilities as of December 31, 2005.
In 1995, we entered into a long-term manufacturing agreement with Merck (called, as amended, the Merck Agreement) to produce an intermediate for a Merck pediatric vaccine at our Rensselaer facility. In February 2005, we and Merck extended the Merck Agreement through October 2006. Merck pays us an annual facility fee of $1.0 million (plus annual adjustments for inflation), reimburses us for certain manufacturing costs, pays us a variable fee based on the quantity of intermediate supplied to Merck, subject to certain minimum order quantities each year, and makes certain additional payments. We recognized contract manufacturing revenue related to the Merck Agreement of $13.7 million in 2005, $18.1 million in 2004, and $10.1 million in 2003.
 
Among the conditions for regulatory marketing approval of a medicine is the requirement that the prospective manufacturer’s quality control and manufacturing procedures conform to the GMP regulations of the health authority. In complying with standards set forth in these regulations, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in the areaareas of production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance. Manufacturing establishments, both foreign and domestic, are also subject to inspections by or under the authority of the FDA and by other national, federal, state, and local agencies. If our manufacturing facilities fail to comply with FDA and other regulatory requirements, we will be required to suspend manufacturing. This will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.
 
Competition
 
There isWe face substantial competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical companies (see “Risk Factors —Even if our product candidates are ever approved, their commercial success is highly uncertain because our competitors may get to the marketplace before we do with better or lower cost drugs or the market for our product candidates may be too small to support commercialization or sufficient profitability.”). Our competitors may include Genentech, Novartis, Pharma AG, Pfizer Inc., Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (now part of OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), the Bayer Group,HealthCare, Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, sanofi-aventis, Merck, Amgen, Roche, and others. Many of our competitors have substantially greater research, preclinical, and clinical product development and manufacturing capabilities, and financial, marketing, and human resources than we do. Our smaller competitors may also be significant if they acquire or discover patentable inventions, form collaborative arrangements, or merge with large pharmaceutical companies. Even if we achieve product commercialization, one or more of our competitors may achieve product commercialization earlier than we do or obtain patent protection that dominates or adversely affects our activities. Our ability to compete will depend on how fast we can develop safe and effective product candidates, complete clinical testing and approval processes, and supply commercial quantities of the product to the market. Competition among


6


product candidates approved for sale will also be based on efficacy, safety, reliability, availability, price, patent position, and other factors.
 
VEGF Trap and VEGF Trap-Eye.  Many companies are developing therapeutic molecules designed to block the actions of VEGF specifically and angiogenesis in general. A variety of approaches have been employed, including antibodies to VEGF, antibodies to the VEGF receptor, small molecule antagonists to the VEGF receptor


8


tyrosine kinase, and other anti-angiogenesis strategies. Many of these alternative approaches may offer competitive advantages to our VEGF Trap in efficacy, side-effect profile, or method of delivery. Additionally, some of these molecules are either already approved for marketing or are at a more advanced stage of development than our product candidate.
 
In particular, Genentech has an approved VEGF antagonist, Avastin®, on the market for treating certain cancers and a number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are working to develop competing VEGF antagonists, including Novartis, OSI Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer, and Imclone Systems Incorporated. Many of these molecules are further along in February 2004, Genentech was granteddevelopment than the VEGF Trap and may offer competitive advantages over our molecule. Novartis has an ongoing Phase 3 clinical development program evaluating an orally delivered VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitor in different cancer settings. Each of Pfizer and Onyx Pharmaceuticals (together with its partner Bayer) has received approval byfrom the FDA to market and sell Avastin® (Genentech), a monoclonal antibody to VEGF in patients with colorectal cancer. The marketing approvals for Avastinan oral medication that targets tumor cell growth and Genentech’s extensive, ongoing clinical development plans for Avastin, make it more difficult for us to enroll patients in clinical trials to supportnew vasculature formation that fuels the VEGF Trap oncology program. This may delay or impair our ability to successfully develop and commercialize the VEGF Trap. Other companies are developing small molecule inhibitors to VEGF tyrosine kinases in different cancer settings.growth of tumors.
 
We face significant competitionThe market for eye disease products is also very competitive. Novartis and Genentech are collaborating on the commercialization and further development of a VEGF antibody fragment (Lucentis®) for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and other eye indications that was approved by the FDA in our VEGF Trap-Eye programs. For example, EyetechJune 2006. OSI Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer are marketing an approved VEGF inhibitor (Macugen®) for wet AMD. Many other companies are working on the development of product candidates for the potential treatment of wet AMD. GenentechAMD that act by blocking VEGF, VEGF receptors, and Novartis have completed phase 3 developmentthrough the use of a VEGF antibody fragment in wet AMD and have submitted a marketing application for their product candidate in this indication.soluble ribonucleic acids (sRNAs) that modulate gene expression. In addition, it has been reported that ophthalmologists are successfully using off-label a third-party reformulated version of Genentech’s approved VEGF antagonist, Avastin, with success for the treatment of wet AMD. These competing VEGF blockers make it more difficultThe National Eye Institue recently has received funding for usa Phase 3 trial to enroll patientscompare Lucentis to Avastin in clinical trials for the VEGF Trap-Eye in these indications and may delay or impair our ability to successfully develop and commercialize the VEGF Trap-Eye in eye diseases.treatment of wet AMD.
 
IL-1 Trap.  The availability of highly effective FDA approved TNF-antagonists such as Enbrel® (Amgen), Remicade® (Centocor), and Humira® (Abbott) and the IL-1 receptor antagonist Kineret (Amgen), and other marketed therapies makes it difficult to successfully develop and commercialize the IL-1 Trap. Even if the IL-1 TrapIL-1Trap is ever approved for sale, it will be difficult for our drug to compete against these FDA approved TNF-antagonists because doctors and patients will have significant experience using these effective medicines. Moreover, there are both small molecules and antibodies in development by third parties that are designed to block the synthesis of interleukin-1 or inhibit the signaling of interleukin-1. For example, Eli Lilly and Company and Novartis isare each developing an antibodyantibodies to interleukin-1 and Amgen is developing an antibody to the interleukin-1 receptor. These drug candidates could offer competitive advantages over the IL-1 Trap. The successful development of these competing molecules could delay or impair our ability to successfully develop and commercialize the IL-1 Trap.
 
Other Areas.  Many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are attempting to discover new therapeutics for indications in which we invest substantial time and resources. In these and related areas, intellectual property rights have been sought and certain rights have been granted to competitors and potential competitors of ours, and we may be at a substantial competitive disadvantage in such areas as a result of, among other things, our lack of experience, trained personnel, and expertise. A number of corporate and academic competitors are involved in the discovery and development of novel therapeutics that are the focus of other research or development programs we are now conducting. These competitors include Amgen and Genentech, as well as many others. Many firms and entities are engaged in research and development in the areas of cytokines, interleukins, angiogenesis, and muscle conditions. Some of these competitors are currently conducting advanced preclinical and clinical research programs in these areas. These and other competitors may have established substantial intellectual property and other competitive advantages.
 
If a competitor announces a successful clinical study involving a product that may be competitive with one of our product candidates or the grant of marketing approval by a regulatory agency for a competitive product, the announcement may have an adverse effect on our operations or future prospects or on the market price of our common stock.


7


We also compete with academic institutions, governmental agencies, and other public or private research organizations, which conduct research, seek patent protection, and establish collaborative arrangements for the development and marketing of products that would provide royalties or other consideration for use of their technology. These institutions are becoming more active in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements to


9


collect royalties or other consideration for use of the technology that they have developed. Products developed in this manner may compete directly with products we develop. We also compete with others in acquiring technology from these institutions, agencies, and organizations.
 
Patents, Trademarks, and Trade Secrets
 
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties (see “Risk Factors —We may be restricted in our developmentand/or commercialization activities by, and could be subject to damage awards if we are found to have infringed, third party patents or other proprietary rights.rights.”). Our policy is to file patent applications to protect technology, inventions, and improvements that we consider important to our business and operations. We are the nonexclusive licensee of a number of additional U.S. patents and patent applications. We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, and continuing technological innovation in an effort to develop and maintain our competitive position. We or our licensors or collaborators have filed patent applications on various products and processes relating to our product candidates as well as other technologies and inventions in the United States and in certain foreign countries. We intend to file additional patent applications, when appropriate, relating to improvements in these technologies and other specific products and processes. We plan to aggressively prosecute, enforce, and defend our patents and other proprietary technology.
 
Patent law relating to the patentability and scope of claims in the biotechnology field is evolving and our patent rights are subject to this additional uncertainty. Others may independently develop similar products or processes to those developed by us, duplicate any of our products or processes or, if patents are issued to us, design around any products and processes covered by our patents. We expect to continue, when appropriate, to file product and process patent applications with respect to our inventions. However, we may not file any such applications or, if filed, the patents may not be issued. Patents issued to or licensed by us may be infringed by the products or processes of others.
 
Defense and enforcement of our intellectual property rights can be expensive and time consuming, even if the outcome is favorable to us. It is possible that patents issued to or licensed to us will be successfully challenged, that a court may find that we are infringing validly issued patents of third parties, or that we may have to alter or discontinue the development of our products or pay licensing fees to take into account patent rights of third parties.
 
Government Regulation
 
Regulation by government authorities in the United States and foreign countries is a significant factor in the research, development, manufacture, and marketing of our product candidates (see “Risk Factors —If we do not obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we will not be able to market or sell them.”). All of our product candidates will require regulatory approval before they can be commercialized. In particular, human therapeutic products are subject to rigorous preclinical and clinical trials and other pre-market approval requirements by the FDA and foreign authorities. Many aspects of the structure and substance of the FDA and foreign pharmaceutical regulatory practices have been reformed during recent years, and continued reform is under consideration in a number of jurisdictions. The ultimate outcome and impact of such reforms and potential reforms cannot be predicted.
 
The activities required before a product candidate may be marketed in the United States begin with preclinical tests. Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations and animal studies to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product candidate and its formulations. The results of these studies must be submitted to the FDA as part of an Investigational New Drug Application, which must be reviewed by the FDA before proposed clinical testing can begin. Typically, clinical testing involves a three-phase process. In phasePhase 1, trials are conducted with a small number of subjects to determine the early safety profile of the product candidate. In phasePhase 2, clinical trials are conducted with subjects afflicted with a specific disease or disorder to provide enough data to evaluate the preliminary safety,


8


tolerability, and efficacy of different potential doses of the product candidate. In phasePhase 3, large-scale clinical trials are conducted with patients afflicted with the specific disease or disorder in order to provide enough data to understand the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate, as required by the FDA. The results of the preclinical and clinical testing of a biologic product candidate are then submitted to the FDA in the form of a


10


Biologics License Application, or BLA, for evaluation to determine whether the product candidate may be approved for commercial sale. In responding to a BLA, the FDA may grant marketing approval, request additional information, or deny the application.
 
Any approval required by the FDA for any of our product candidates may not be obtained on a timely basis, or at all. The designation of a clinical trial as being of a particular phase is not necessarily indicative that such a trial will be sufficient to satisfy the parameters of a particular phase, and a clinical trial may contain elements of more than one phase notwithstanding the designation of the trial as being of a particular phase. The results of preclinical studies or early stage clinical trials may not predict long-term safety or efficacy of our compounds when they are tested or used more broadly in humans.
 
Approval of a product candidate by comparable regulatory authorities in foreign countries is generally required prior to commencement of marketing of the product in those countries. The approval procedure varies among countries and may involve additional testing, and the time required to obtain such approval may differ from that required for FDA approval.
 
Various federal, state, and foreign statutes and regulations also govern or influence the research, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping, marketing, transport, orand other aspects of pharmaceutical product candidates. The lengthy process of seeking these approvals and the compliance with applicable statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us or our collaborators or licensees to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could adversely affect the manufacturing or marketing of our products and our ability to receive product or royalty revenue.
 
In addition to the foregoing, our present and future business will be subject to regulation under the United States Atomic Energy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, national restrictions, and other current and potential future local, state, federal, and foreign regulations.
 
Business Segments
 
OurThrough 2006, our operations arewere managed in two business segments: research and development, and contract manufacturing. The research and development segment includes all activities related to the discovery of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of serious medical conditions, and the development and commercialization of these discoveries. It also includes revenues and expenses related to (i) the development of manufacturing processes prior to commencing commercial production of a product under contract manufacturing arrangements and (ii) the supply of specified, ordered research materials using Regeneron-developed proprietary technology. The contract manufacturing segment includes all revenues and expenses related to the commercial production of products under contract manufacturing arrangements. During 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003,2004, the Company produced an intermediatemanufactured a product for Merck under the Merck Agreement, as described under “Manufacturing” above.a contract that expired in October 2006. For financial information about these segments, see Note 19,20, “Segment Information”, beginning onpage F-33F-34 in our Financial Statements. Due to the expiration of our manufacturing agreement with Merck, beginning in 2007 we only have a research and development business segment.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2005,2006, we had 588573 full-time employees, of whom 8780 held a Ph.D. or M.D. degree or both. We believe that we have been successful in attracting skilled and experienced personnel in a highly competitive environment; however, competition for these personnel is intense. None of our personnel are covered by collective bargaining agreements and our management considers its relations with our employees to be good.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
 
We operate in an environment that involves a number of significant risks and uncertainties. We caution you to read the following risk factors, which have affected,and/or in the future could affect, our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows. The risks described below include forward-looking statements, and actual events and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Furthermore, additional risks and uncertainties are described under other captions in this report and should be considered by our investors.
 
Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Need for Additional Financing
 
We have had a history of operating losses and we may never achieve profitability. If we continue to incur operating losses, we may be unable to continue our operations.
 
From inception on January 8, 1988 through December 31, 2005,2006, we had a cumulative loss of $585.3$687.6 million. If we continue to incur operating losses and fail to become a profitable company, we may be unable to continue our operations. We have no products that are available for sale and do not know when we will have products available for sale, if ever. In the absence of revenue from the sale of products or other sources, the amount, timing, nature or source of which cannot be predicted, our losses will continue as we conduct our research and development activities. We currently receiveUntil October 31, 2006, we received contract manufacturing revenue from our agreement with Merck and, until June 30, 2005, we received contract research and development revenue from our agreement with The Procter & Gamble Company. Our agreement with Procter & Gamble expired in June 2005 and our agreement with Merck will expire before the end ofexpired in October 2006. The expiration of these agreements resultshas resulted in a significant loss of revenue to the Company.
 
We will need additional funding in the future, which may not be available to us, and which may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts.
 
We will need to expend substantial resources for research and development, including costs associated with clinical testing of our product candidates. We believe our existing capital resources will enable us to meet operating needs through at least mid-2008;early 2010, without taking into consideration the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior subordinated notes, which mature in October 2008; however, our projected revenue may decrease or our expenses may increase and that would lead to our capital being consumed significantly before such time. We will likely require additional financing in the future and we may not be able to raise such additional funds. If we are able to obtain additional financing through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, such sales may be dilutive to our shareholders. Debt financing arrangements may require us to pledge certain assets or enter into covenants that would restrict our business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our shareholders. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to complete the development of our product candidates, we may face delay, reduction or elimination of our research and development programs or preclinical or clinical trials, in which case our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially harmed.


1012


We have a significant amount of debt and may have insufficient cash to satisfy our debt service and repayment obligations. In addition, the amount of our debt could impede our operations and flexibility.
 
We have a significant amount of convertible debt and semi-annual interest payment obligations. This debt, unless converted to shares of our common stock, will mature in October 2008. We may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain funds necessary to make required payments on our debt. Even if we are able to meet our debt service obligations, the amount of debt we already have could hurt our ability to obtain any necessary financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, or other purposes. In addition, our debt obligations could require us to use a substantial portion of cash to pay principal and interest on our debt, instead of applying those funds to other purposes, such as research and development, working capital, and capital expenditures.
 
We have adopted, effective January 1, 2005, the fair market value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This will materially increase operating expenses in our Statement of Operations, primarily due to non-cash compensation costs related to stock options.
We have adopted, effective January 1, 2005, the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (SFAS) 123,Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, using the modified prospective method as described in SFAS 148,Accounting for Stock Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. As a result, effective January 1, 2005, we have been recognizing expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments (including stock option awards) on their date of grant over the vesting period of the awards. In 2005, non-cash stock-based employee compensation expense of $19.9 million related to stock options awards was recognized in operating expenses in our Statement of Operations, which increased our basic and diluted net loss per share. Also, if we had adopted SFAS 123 effective January 1, 2004, our net income for the full year 2004 would have decreased by approximately $33.6 million and our basic and diluted net income per share in 2004 would have been $0.15 per share instead of $0.75 per share (basic) and $0.74 per share (diluted).
In addition, in December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123R,Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments (including stock options) issued to employees. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. The impact of adopting SFAS 123R has not yet been quantified.
The negative impact on our income (loss) as a result of adopting SFAS 123 as of January 1, 2005, and subsequently adopting SFAS 123R commencing January 1, 2006, may negatively affect our stock price.
Risks Related to Development of Our Product Candidates
 
Successful development of any of our product candidates is highly uncertain.
 
Only a small minority of all research and development programs ultimately result in commercially successful drugs. We have never developed a drug that has been approved for marketing and sale, and we may never succeed in developing an approved drug. Even if clinical trials demonstrate safety and effectiveness of any of our product candidates for a specific disease and the necessary regulatory approvals are obtained, the commercial success of any of our product candidates will depend upon their acceptance by patients, the medical community, and third-party payers and on our partners’ ability to successfully manufacture and commercialize our product candidates. Our product candidates are delivered either by intravenous infusion or by intravitreal or subcutaneous injections, which are generally less well received by patients than tablet or capsule delivery. If our products are not successfully commercialized, we will not be able to recover the significant investment we have made in developing such products and our business would be severely harmed.
 
We intend to study our lead product candidates, the VEGF Trap, VEGF Trap-Eye, and IL-1 Trap, in a wide variety of indications. We intend to study the VEGF Trap in a variety of cancer settings, the VEGF Trap-Eye in different eye diseases and ophthalmologic indications, and the IL-1 Trap in a variety of systemic inflammatory


11


disorders. MostMany of these current trials are exploratory studies designed to identify what diseases and uses, if any, are best suited for our product candidates. It is likely that our product candidates will not demonstrate the requisite efficacyand/or safety profile to support continued development for most of the indications that are to be studied. In fact, our product candidates may not demonstrate the requisite efficacy and safety profile to support the continued development for any of the indications or uses.
 
Clinical trials required for our product candidates are expensive and time-consuming, and their outcome is highly uncertain. If any of our drug trials are delayed or achieve unfavorable results, we will have to delay or may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.
 
We must conduct extensive testing of our product candidates before we can obtain regulatory approval to market and sell them. We need to conduct both preclinical animal testing and human clinical trials. Conducting these trials is a lengthy, time-consuming, and expensive process. These tests and trials may not achieve favorable results for many reasons, including, among others, failure of the product candidate to demonstrate safety or efficacy, the development of serious or life-threatening adverse events (or side effects) caused by or connected with exposure to the product candidate, difficulty in enrolling and maintaining subjects in the clinical trial, lack of sufficient supplies of the product candidate or comparator drug, and the failure of clinical investigators, trial monitors and other consultants, or trial subjects to comply with the trial plan or protocol. A clinical trial may fail because it did not include a sufficient number of patients to detect the endpoint being measured or reach statistical significance. A clinical trial may also fail because the dose(s) of the investigational drug included in the trial were either too low or too high to determine the optimal effect of the investigational drug in the disease setting. For example, we are studying higher doses of the IL-1 Trap in different diseases after a phasePhase 2 trial using lower doses of the IL-1 Trap in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis failed to achieve its primary endpoint.
 
We will need to reevaluate any drug candidate that does not test favorably and either conduct new trials, which are expensive and time consuming, or abandon the drug development program. Even if we obtain positive results


13


from preclinical or clinical trials, we may not achieve the same success in future trials. Many companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including us, have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials, even after promising results have been obtained in earlier trials. The failure of clinical trials to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for the desired indication(s) could harm the development of the product candidate(s), and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.
The data from the Phase 3 clinical program for the IL-1 Trap in CAPS (Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndromes) may be inadequate to support regulatory approval for commercialization of the IL-1 Trap.
The efficacy and safety data from the Phase 3 clinical program for the IL-1 Trap in CAPS may be inadequate to support approval for its commercialization in this indication. Moreover, if the safety data from the ongoing clinical trials testing the IL-1 Trap are not satisfactory, we may not proceed with the filing of a biological license application, or BLA, for the IL-1 Trap or we may be forced to delay the filing. The FDA and other regulatory agencies may have varying interpretations of our clinical trial data, which could delay, limit, or prevent regulatory approval or clearance.
Further, before a product candidate is approved for marketing, our manufacturing facilities must be inspected by the FDA and the FDA will not approve the product for marketing if we or our third party manufacturers are not in compliance with current good manufacturing practices. Even if the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities do grant marketing approval for the IL-1 Trap, they may pose restrictions on the use or marketing of the product, or may require us to conduct additional post-marketing trials. These restrictions and requirements would likely result in increased expenditures and lower revenues and may restrict our ability to commercialize the IL-1 Trap profitably.
In addition to the FDA and other regulatory agency regulations in the United States, we are subject to a variety of foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials, marketing and approval for drugs, and commercial sales and distribution of drugs in foreign countries. The foreign regulatory approval process includes all of the risks associated with FDA approval as well as country-specific regulations. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product in the United States, we must obtain approval by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of the IL-1 Trap in those countries.
 
The development of serious or life-threatening side effects with any of our product candidates would lead to delay or discontinuation of development, which could severely harm our business.
 
During the conduct of clinical trials, patients report changes in their health, including illnesses, injuries, and discomforts, to their study doctor. Often, it is not possible to determine whether or not the drug candidate being studied caused these conditions. Various illnesses, injuries, and discomforts have been reported fromtime-to-time during clinical trials of our product candidates. Although our current drug candidates appeared to be generally well tolerated in clinical trials conducted to date, itIt is possible as we test any of themour current drug candidates in larger, longer, and more extensive clinical programs, illnesses, injuries, and discomforts that were observed in earlier trials, as well as conditions that did not occur or went undetected in smaller previous trials, will be reported by patients. Many times, side effects are only detectable after investigational drugs are tested in large scale, phasePhase 3 clinical trials or, in some cases, after they are made available to patients after approval. If additional clinical experience indicates that any of our product candidates has many side effects or causes serious or life-threatening side effects, the development of the product candidate may fail or be delayed, which would severely harm our business.
 
Our VEGF Trap is being studied for the potential treatment of certain types of cancer and our VEGF Trap-Eye candidate is being studied in diseases of the eye. There are many potential safety concerns associated with significant blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF. These risks, based on the clinical and preclinical experience of systemically delivered VEGF inhibitors, including the systemic delivery of the VEGF Trap, include bleeding, hypertension, and proteinuria. These serious side effects and other serious side effects have been reported in our systemic VEGF Trap studies in cancer and diseases of the eye. In addition, patients given infusions of any protein, including the VEGF Trap delivered through intravenous administration, may develop severe hypersensitivity reactions referred to asor infusion reactions. Other VEGF blockers have reported side effects that became evident only after large scale trials or after marketing approval and large numbers of patients were treated. These include side effects that we have not yet seen in our trials such as heart attack and stroke. These and other complications or side effects


1214


complications or side effects could harm the development of the VEGF Trap for the treatment of cancer or the VEGF Trap-Eye for the treatment of diseases of the eye.
 
Although the IL-1 Trap was generally well tolerated and was not associated with any drug-related serious adverse events in the phase 2 rheumatoid arthritis study completed in 2003,It is possible that safety or tolerability concerns may arise as we test higher doses of the IL-1 Trap in patients with other inflammatory diseases and disorders. LikeTNF-antagonists such as Enbrel®(Amgen) and Remicade® (Centocor), the IL-1 Trap affects the immune defense system of the body by blocking some of its functions. Therefore, there may be an increased risk for infections to develop in patients treated with the IL-1 Trap. In addition, patients given infusions of the IL-1 Trap have developed hypersensitivity reactions referred to asor infusion reactions. These andor other complications or side effects could harmimpede or result in us abandoning the development of the IL-1 Trap.
 
Our product candidates in development are recombinant proteins that could cause an immune response, resulting in the creation of harmful or neutralizing antibodies against the therapeutic protein.
 
In addition to the safety, efficacy, manufacturing, and regulatory hurdles faced by our product candidates, the administration of recombinant proteins frequently causes an immune response, resulting in the creationproduction of antibodies against the therapeutic protein. The antibodies can have no effect or can totally neutralize the effectiveness of the protein, or require that higher doses be used to obtain a therapeutic effect. In some cases, the antibody can cross react with the patient’s own proteins, resulting in an “auto-immune” type disease. Whether antibodies will be created can often not be predicted from preclinical or clinical experiments, and their detection or appearance is often delayed, so that there can be no assurance that neutralizing antibodies will not be createddetected at a later date — in some cases even after pivotal clinical trials have been completed. Subjects who received the IL-1 Trap in clinical trials have developed antibodies. It is possible that as we test the VEGF Trap and VEGF Trap-Eye with more sensitive assays in different patient populations and larger clinical trials, we will find that subjects given the VEGF Trap developand VEGF Trap-Eye produce antibodies to these product candidates, which could adversely impact the product candidate.development of such candidates.
 
We may be unable to formulate or manufacture our product candidates in a way that is suitable for clinical or commercial use.
 
Changes in product formulations and manufacturing processes may be required as product candidates progress in clinical development and are ultimately commercialized. For example, we are currently testing a new formulation of the VEGF Trap-Eye in a Phase 1 Trial. If we are unable to develop suitable product formulations or manufacturing processes to support large scale clinical testing of our product candidates, including the VEGF Trap, VEGF Trap-Eye, IL-1 Trap, and IL-4/13IL-1 Trap, we may be unable to supply necessary materials for our clinical trials, which would delay the development of our product candidates. Similarly, if we are unable to supply sufficient quantities of our product or develop product formulations suitable for commercial use, we will not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates.
 
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
 
If we cannot protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets or our patents are insufficient to protect our proprietary rights, our business and competitive position will be harmed.
 
Our business requires using sensitive and proprietary technology and other information that we protect as trade secrets. We seek to prevent improper disclosure of these trade secrets through confidentiality agreements. If our trade secrets are improperly exposed, either by our own employees or our collaborators, it would help our competitors and adversely affect our business. We will be able to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our rights are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. The patent position of biotechnology companies involves complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, enforceability cannot be predicted with certainty. Our patents may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented. Patent applications filed outside the United States may be challenged by third parties who file an opposition. Such opposition proceedings are increasingly common in the European Union and are costly to defend. We have patent applications that are being opposed and it is likely that we will need to defend additional patent applications in the future. Our patent rights may not provide us with a proprietary position or


1315


competitive advantages against competitors. Furthermore, even if the outcome is favorable to us, the enforcement of our intellectual property rights can be extremely expensive and time consuming.
 
We may be restricted in our developmentand/or commercialization activities by, and could be subject to damage awards if we are found to have infringed, third party patents or other proprietary rights.
 
Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties. Other parties may allege that they have blocking patents to our products in clinical development, either because they claim to hold proprietary rights to the composition of a product or the way it is manufactured or used. Moreover, other parties may allege that they have blocking patents to antibody products made using our VelocImmune technology, either because of the way the antibodies are discovered or produced or because of a proprietary position covering an antibody or the antibody’s target.
 
We are aware of patents and pending applications owned by Genentech that claim certain chimeric VEGF receptor compositions. Although we do not believe that the VEGF Trap or VEGF Trap-Eye infringes any valid claim in these patents or patent applications, Genentech could initiate a lawsuit for patent infringement and assert its patents are valid and cover the VEGF Trap or VEGF Trap-Eye. Genentech may be motivated to initiate such a lawsuit at some point in an effort to impair our ability to develop and sell the VEGF Trap or VEGF Trap-Eye, which represents a potential competitive threat to Genentech’s VEGF-binding products and product candidates. An adverse determination by a court in any such potential patent litigation would likely materially harm our business by requiring us to seek a license, which may not be available, or resulting in our inability to manufacture, develop and sell the VEGF Trap or VEGF Trap-Eye or in a damage award.
We are aware of certain United States and foreign patents relating to particular IL-4 and IL-13 receptors. Our IL-4/13 Trap includes portions of the IL-4 and IL-13 receptors. In addition, we are aware of a broad patent held by Genentech relating to proteins fused to certain immunoglobulin domains. Our Trap product candidates include proteins fused to immunoglobulin domains. Although we do not believe that we are infringing valid and enforceable third party patents, the holders of these patents may sue us for infringement and a court may find that we are infringing one or more validly issued patents, which may materially harm our business.
 
Any patent holders could sue us for damages and seek to prevent us from manufacturing, selling, or developing our drug candidates, and a court may find that we are infringing validly issued patents of third parties. In the event that the manufacture, use, or sale of any of our clinical candidates infringes on the patents or violates other proprietary rights of third parties, we may be prevented from pursuing product development, manufacturing, and commercialization of our drugs and may be required to pay costly damages. Such a result may materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Legal disputes are likely to be costly and time consuming to defend.
 
We seek to obtain licenses to patents when, in our judgment, such licenses are needed. If any licenses are required, we may not be able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The failure to obtain any such license could prevent us from developing or commercializing any one or more of our product candidates, which could severely harm our business.
 
Regulatory and Litigation Risks
 
If we do not obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we will not be able to market or sell them.
 
We cannot sell or market products without regulatory approval. If we do not obtain and maintain regulatory approval for our product candidates, the value of our company and our results of operations will be harmed. In the United States, we must obtain and maintain approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)FDA for each drug we intend to sell. Obtaining FDA approval is typically a lengthy and expensive process, and approval is highly uncertain. Foreign governments also regulate drugs distributed in their country and approval in any country is likely to be a lengthy and expensive process, and approval is highly uncertain. None of our product candidates has ever received regulatory approval to be marketed and sold in the United States or any other country. We may never receive regulatory approval for any of our product candidates.
Before approving a new drug or biologic product, the FDA requires that the facilities at which the product will be manufactured be in compliance with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP requirements. Manufacturing product candidates in compliance with these regulatory requirements is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. To be successful, our products must be manufactured for development, and following approval in commercial quantities, in compliance with regulatory requirements, and at competitive costs. If we or any of our product collaborators or third-party manufacturers, product packagers, or labelers are unable to maintain regulatory


1416


compliance, the FDA can impose regulatory sanctions, including, among other things, refusal to approve a pending application for a new drug or biologic product, or revocation of a pre-existing approval. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.
If the testing or use of our products harms people, we could be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims. We could also face costly and damaging claims arising from employment law, securities law, environmental law, or other applicable laws governing our operations.
 
The testing, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of drugs for use in people expose us to product liability risk. Any informed consent or waivers obtained from people who sign up forare enrolled in our clinical trials may not protect us from liability or the cost of litigation. Our product liability insurance may not cover all potential liabilities or may not completely cover any liability arising from any such litigation. Moreover, we may not have access to liability insurance or be able to maintain our insurance on acceptable terms.
 
Our operations may involve hazardous materials and are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations. We may incur substantial liability arising from our activities involving the use of hazardous materials.
 
As a biopharmaceutical company with significant manufacturing operations, we are subject to extensive environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the use of hazardous materials. Our research and development and manufacturing activities involve the controlled use of chemicals, viruses, radioactive compounds, and other hazardous materials. The cost of compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations is substantial. If an accident involving these materials or an environmental discharge were to occur, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, or face regulatory actions, which could exceed our resources or insurance coverage.
 
Changes in the securities laws and regulations have increased, and are likely to continue to increase, our costs.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which became law in July 2002, has required changes in some of our corporate governance, securities disclosure and compliance practices. In responsePursuant to the requirements of that Act, the SEC and the NASDAQ Stock Market have promulgated new rules and listing standards covering a variety of subjects. Compliance with these new rules and listing standards has increased our legal costs, and significantly increased our accounting and auditing costs, and we expect these costs to continue. These developments may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Likewise, these developments may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly independent directors, or qualified executive officers.
 
In future years, if we or our independent registered public accounting firm are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, the market value of our common stock could be adversely affected.
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports onForm 10-K that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing our financial statements must attest to and report on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm provided us with an unqualified report as to our assessment and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, which report is included in this Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. However, we cannot assure you that management or our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to provide such an assessment or unqualified report as of future year-ends. In this event, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the market value of our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties
 
If our collaboration with sanofi-aventis for the VEGF Trap is terminated, our business operations and our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the VEGF Trap in the time expected, or at all, would be harmed.
 
We rely heavily on sanofi-aventis to assist with the development of the VEGF Trap oncology program. Sanofi-aventis funds all of the development expenses incurred by both companies in connection with the VEGF Trap oncology program. If the VEGF Trap oncology program continues, we will rely on sanofi-aventis to assist with funding the VEGF Trap program, provide commercial manufacturing capacity, enroll and monitor clinical trials, obtain regulatory approval, particularly outside the United States, and provide sales and marketing support. While we cannot assure you that the VEGF Trap will ever be successfully developed and commercialized, if sanofi-aventis does not perform its obligations in a timely manner, or at all, our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the VEGF Trap in cancer indications will be significantly adversely affected. Sanofi-aventis has the right to terminate its collaboration agreement with us at any time upon twelve months advance notice. If sanofi-aventis were to terminate its collaboration agreement with us, we would not have the resources or skills to replace those of our partner, which could cause significant delays in the developmentand/or manufacture of the VEGF Trap and result in


17


substantial additional costs to us. We have no sales, marketing, or distribution capabilities and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities. Termination of the sanofi-aventis collaboration agreement would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful development of the VEGF Trap oncology program.
 
If our collaboration with Bayer HealthCare for the VEGF Trap-Eye is terminated, our business operations and our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the VEGF Trap-Eye in the time expected, or at all, would be harmed.
We will rely heavily on Bayer HealthCare to assist with the development of the VEGF Trap-Eye. Under our agreement with them, Bayer HealthCare is required to fund approximately half of the development expenses incurred by both companies in connection with the global VEGF Trap-Eye development program. If the VEGF Trap-Eye program continues, we will rely on Bayer HealthCare to assist with funding the VEGF Trap-Eye development program, providing assistance with the enrollment and monitoring of clinical trials conducted outside the United States, obtaining regulatory approval outside the United States, and providing sales, marketing and commercial support for the product outside the United States. In particular, Bayer HealthCare has responsibility for selling VEGF Trap-Eye outside the United States using its sales force. While we cannot assure you that the VEGF Trap-Eye will ever be successfully developed and commercialized, if Bayer HealthCare does not perform its obligations in a timely manner, or at all, our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the VEGF Trap-Eye outside the United States will be significantly adversely affected. Bayer HealthCare has the right to terminate its collaboration agreement with us at any time upon six or twelve months advance notice, depending on the circumstances giving rise to termination. If Bayer HealthCare were to terminate its collaboration agreement with us, we would not have the resources or skills to replace those of our partner, which could cause significant delays in the developmentand/or commercialization of the VEGF Trap-Eye outside the United States and result in substantial additional costs to us. We have no sales, marketing, or distribution capabilities and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities outside the United States. Termination of the Bayer HealthCare collaboration agreement would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful development of the VEGF Trap-Eye development program.
Our collaborators and service providers may fail to perform adequately in their efforts to support the development, manufacture, and commercialization of our drug candidates.
 
We depend upon third-party collaborators, including sanofi-aventis, Bayer HealthCare, and service providers such as clinical research organizations, outside testing laboratories, clinical investigator sites, and third-party manufacturers and product packagers and labelers, to assist us in the development of our product candidates. If any of our existing collaborators or service providers breaches or terminates its agreement with us or does not perform its development or manufacturing services under an agreement in a timely manner or at all, we could experience additional costs, delays, and difficulties in the development or ultimate commercialization of our product candidates.
 
Risks Related to the Manufacture of Our Product Candidates
 
We have limited manufacturing capacity, which could inhibit our ability to successfully develop or commercialize our drugs.
Before approving a new drug or biologic product, the FDA requires that the facilities at which the product will be manufactured be in compliance with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP requirements. Manufacturing product candidates in compliance with these regulatory requirements is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. To be successful, our products must be manufactured for development, following approval, in commercial quantities, in compliance with regulatory requirements, and at competitive costs. If we or any of our product collaborators or third-party manufacturers, product packagers, or labelers are unable to maintain regulatory compliance, the FDA can impose regulatory sanctions, including, among other things, refusal to approve a pending application for a new drug or biologic product, or revocation of a pre-existing approval. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.
 
Our manufacturing facility is likely to be inadequate to produce sufficient quantities of product for commercial sale. We intend to rely on our corporate collaborators, as well as contract manufacturers, to produce the large quantities of drug material needed for commercialization of our products. We rely entirely on third-party manufacturers for filling and finishing services. We will have to depend on these manufacturers to deliver material on a timely basis and to comply with regulatory requirements. If we are unable to supply sufficient material on acceptable terms, or if we should encounter delays or difficulties in our relationships with our corporate collaborators or contract manufacturers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.


16


We may expand our own manufacturing capacity to support commercial production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, or API, for our product candidates. This will require substantial additional funds, and we will need to hire and train significant numbers of employees and managerial personnel to staff our facility.Start-up costs can be


18


large andscale-up entails significant risks related to process development and manufacturing yields. We may be unable to develop manufacturing facilities that are sufficient to produce drug material for clinical trials or commercial use. In addition, we may be unable to secure adequate filling and finishing services to support our products. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.
 
We may be unable to obtain key raw materials and supplies for the manufacture of our product candidates. In addition, we may face difficulties in developing or acquiring production technology and managerial personnel to manufacture sufficient quantities of our product candidates at reasonable costs and in compliance with applicable quality assurance and environmental regulations and governmental permitting requirements.
 
If any of our clinical programs are discontinued, we may face costs related to the unused capacity at our manufacturing facilities.
 
We have large-scale manufacturing operations in Rensselaer, New York. Under a long-term manufacturing agreement with Merck, which expires in October 2006, we produce an intermediate for a Merck pediatric vaccine at our facility in Rensselaer, New York. We also use our facilities to produce APIbulk product for our own clinical and preclinical candidates. When we no longer usecandidates for ourselves and our facilities to manufacture the Merck intermediate or ifcollaborations. If our clinical candidates are discontinued, we will have to absorb one hundred percent of related overhead costs and inefficiencies.
 
Certain of our raw materials are single-sourced from third parties; third-party supply failures could adversely affect our ability to supply our products.
 
Certain raw materials necessary for manufacturing and formulation of our product candidates are provided by single-source unaffiliated third-party suppliers. We would be unable to obtain these raw materials for an indeterminate period of time if these third-party single-source suppliers were to cease or interrupt production or otherwise fail to supply these materials or products to us for any reason, including due to regulatory requirements or action, due to adverse financial developments at or affecting the supplier, or due to labor shortages or disputes. This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our ability to manufacture our product candidates for use in clinical trials, which could materially and adversely affect our business and future prospects.
 
Also, certain of the raw materials required in the manufacturingmanufacture and the formulation of our clinical candidates may be derived from biological sources, including mammalian tissues, bovine serum, and human serum albumin. There are certain European regulatory restrictions on using these biological source materials. If we are required to substitute for these sources to comply with European regulatory requirements, our clinical development activities may be delayed or interrupted.
 
Risks Related to Commercialization of Products
 
If we are unable to establish sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities, or enter into agreements with third parties to do so, we will be unable to successfully market and sell future products.
 
We have no sales or distribution personnel or capabilities and have only a small staff with marketing capabilities. If we are unable to obtain those capabilities, either by developing our own organizations or entering into agreements with service providers, we will not be able to successfully sell any products that we may obtain regulatory approval for and bring to market in the future. In that event, we will not be able to generate significant revenue, even if our product candidates are approved. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to hire the qualified sales and marketing personnel we need or that we will be able to enter into marketing or distribution agreements with third-party providers on acceptable terms, if at all. Under the terms of our collaboration agreement with sanofi-aventis, we currently rely on sanofi-aventis for sales, marketing, and distribution of the VEGF Trap in cancer indications, should it be approved in the future by regulatory authorities for marketing. We will have to rely on a third party or devote significant resources to develop our own sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities for our other product candidates, including the VEGF Trap-Eye in the United States, and we may be unsuccessful in developing our own sales, marketing, and distribution organization.


1719


Even if our product candidates are approved for marketing, their commercial success is highly uncertain because our competitors have received approval for products with the same mechanism of action, and competitors may get to the marketplace before we do with better or lower cost drugs or the market for our product candidates may be too small to support commercialization or sufficient profitability.
 
There isWe face substantial competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical companies. Many of our competitors have substantially greater research, preclinical and clinical product development and manufacturing capabilities, and financial, marketing, and human resources than we do. Our smaller competitors may also enhance their competitive position if they acquire or discover patentable inventions, form collaborative arrangements, or merge with large pharmaceutical companies. Even if we achieve product commercialization, our competitors have achieved, and may continue to achieve, product commercialization before our products are approved for marketing and sale.
 
Genentech has an approved VEGF antagonist, Avastin®(Genentech), on the market for treating certain cancers and many differenta number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are working to develop competing VEGF antagonists, including Novartis, EyetechOSI Pharmaceuticals, and Pfizer. Many of these molecules are fartherfurther along in development than the VEGF Trap and may offer competitive advantages over our molecule. Novartis has an ongoing phasePhase 3 clinical development program evaluating an orally delivered VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitor in different cancer settings. Each of Pfizer and Onyx Pharmaceuticals and Bayer have(together with its partner Bayer) has received approval from the FDA to market and sell the firstan oral medication that targets tumor cell growth and new vasculature formation that fuels the growth of tumors. The marketing approvals for Genentech’s VEGF antagonist, Avastin, and their extensive, ongoing clinical development plan for Avastin in other cancer indications, may make it more difficult for us to enroll patients in clinical trials to support the VEGF Trap and to obtain regulatory approval of the VEGF Trap in these cancer settings. This may delay or impair our ability to successfully develop and commercialize the VEGF Trap. In addition, even if the VEGF Trap is ever approved for sale for the treatment of certain cancers, it will be difficult for our drug to compete against Avastin and the Onyx/BayerFDA approved kinase inhibitor,inhibitors, because doctors and patients will have significant experience using these medicines. In addition, an oral medication may be considerably less expensive for patients than a biologic medication, providing a competitive advantage to companies that market such products.
 
The market for eye diseasesdisease products is also very competitive. EyetechNovartis and Genentech are collaborating on the commercialization and further development of a VEGF antibody fragment (Lucentis®) for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and other eye indications that was approved by the FDA in June 2006. OSI Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer are marketing an approved VEGF inhibitor (Macugen®) for age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Novartis and Genentechwet AMD. Many other companies are collaboratingworking on the development of a VEGF antibody fragmentproduct candidates for the potential treatment of wet AMD that is in phase 3 development. In December 2005, Genentech announcedact by blocking VEGF, VEGF receptors, and through the use of soluble ribonucleic acids (sRNAs) that it filed an application with the FDA to market and sell this VEGF inhibitor in patients with wet AMD.modulate gene expression. In addition, it has been reported that ophthalmologists are using off-label a third-party reformulated version of Genentech’s approved VEGF antagonist, Avastin, with success for the treatment of wet AMD. The National Eye Institute recently has received funding for a Phase 3 trial to compare Lucentis to Avastin in the treatment of wet AMD. The marketing approval of the Eyetech/Pfizer VEGF inhibitorMacugen and Lucentis and the potential off-label use of Avastin and approval of the Novartis/Genentech VEGF antibody fragment make it more difficult for us to enroll patients in our clinical trials and successfully develop the VEGF Trap-Eye. Even if the VEGF Trap-Eye is ever approved for sale for the treatment of eye diseases, it willmay be difficult for our drug to compete against the Eyetech/Pfizer drug and, if approved by the FDA, the Novartis/Genentech VEGF inhibitor,Lucentis or Macugen, because doctors and patients will have significant experience using these medicines. Moreover, the relatively low cost of therapy with Avastin in patients with wet AMD presents a further competitive challenge in this indication.
 
The availability of highly effective FDA approved TNF-antagonists such as Enbrel® (Amgen), Remicade® (Centocor), and Humira® (Abbott Laboratories), and the IL-1 receptor antagonist Kineret® (Amgen), and other marketed therapies, makes it more difficult to successfully develop and commercialize the IL-1 Trap. This is one of the reasons we discontinued the development of the IL-1 Trap in adult rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, even if the IL-1 Trap is ever approved for sale, it will be difficult for our drug to compete against these FDA approved TNF-antagonists in indications where both are useful because doctors and patients will have significant experience using these effective medicines. Moreover, in such indications these approved therapeutics may offer competitive advantages over the IL-1 Trap, such as requiring fewer injections.

There are both small molecules and antibodies in development by third parties that are designed to block the synthesis of interleukin-1 or inhibit the signaling of interleukin-1. For example, Eli Lilly and Company and Novartis isare each developing an antibodyantibodies to interleukin-1 and Amgen is developing an antibody to the interleukin-1 receptor. These drug candidates could


18


offer competitive advantages over the IL-1 Trap. The successful development of these competing molecules could delay or impair our ability to successfully develop and commercialize the IL-1 Trap. For example, we may find it difficult to enroll patients in clinical trials for the IL-1 Trap if the companies developing these competing interleukin-1 inhibitors commence clinical trials in the same indications.
 
We are developing the IL-1 Trap for the treatment of a spectrum of rare diseases associated with mutations in theCIAS1 gene. These rare genetic disorders affect a small group of people, estimated to be between several hundred and a few thousand. There may be too few patients with these genetic disorders to profitably commercialize the IL-1 Trap in this indication.
 
The successful commercialization of our product candidates will depend on obtaining coverage and reimbursement for use of these products from third-party payers.payers and these payers may not agree to cover or reimburse for use of our products.
 
Sales of biopharmaceuticalOur products, largely depend on the reimbursement of patients’ medical expenses by government health care programsif commercialized, may be significantly more expensive than traditional drug treatments. Our future revenues and profitability will be adversely affected if United States and foreign governmental, private health insurers. Without the financial support of the governments orthird-party insurers and payers, and other third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid, do not agree to defray or reimburse the market for any biopharmaceutical product will be limited. These third-party payers increasingly challenge the price and examine the cost-effectiveness of products and services. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of any new therapeutic, particularly if there exist lower-cost standards of care. Third-party payers may not reimburse salescost of our products which would harmto the patients. If these entities refuse to provide coverage and reimbursement with respect to our business.products or provide an insufficient level of coverage and reimbursement, our products may be too costly for many patients to afford them, and physicians may not prescribe them. Many third-party payers cover only selected drugs, making drugs that are not preferred by such payer more expensive for patients, and require prior authorization or failure on another type of treatment before covering a particular drug. Payers may especially impose these obstacles to coverage on higher-priced drugs, as our product candidates are likely to be.
 
We intend to file an application with the FDA seeking approval to market the IL-1 Trap for the treatment of a spectrum of rare genetic disorders called CAPS. There may be too few patients with CAPS to profitably commercialize the IL-1 Trap. Physicians may not prescribe the IL-1 Trap and CAPS patients may not be able to afford the IL-1 Trap if third party payers do not agree to reimburse the cost of IL-1 Trap therapy and this would adversely affect our ability to commercialize the IL-1 Trap profitably.
In addition to potential restrictions on coverage, the amount of reimbursement for our products may also reduce our profitability. In the United States, there have been, and we expect will continue to be, actions and proposals to control and reduce healthcare costs. Government and other third-party payers are challenging the prices charged for healthcare products and increasingly limiting, and attempting to limit, both coverage and level of reimbursement for prescription drugs.
Since our products, including the IL-1 Trap, will likely be too expensive for most patients to afford without health insurance coverage, if our products are unable to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement by third-party payers our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates may be adversely impacted. Any limitation on the use of our products or any decrease in the price of our products will have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve profitability.
In certain foreign countries, pricing, coverage and level of reimbursement of prescription drugs are subject to governmental control, and we may be unable to negotiate coverage, pricing, and reimbursement on terms that are favorable to us. In some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug pricing vary widely from country to country. For example, the European Union provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A member state may approve a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the company placing the medicinal product on the market. Our results of operations may suffer if we are unable to market our products in foreign countries or if coverage and reimbursement for our products in foreign countries is limited.

Risk Related to Employees
 
We are dependent on our key personnel and if we cannot recruit and retain leaders in our research, development, manufacturing, and commercial organizations, our business will be harmed.
 
We are highly dependent on certain of our executive officers. If we are not able to retain any of these persons or our Chairman, our business may suffer. In particular, we depend on the services of P. Roy Vagelos, M.D., the Chairman of our board of directors, Leonard Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer, George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., our Executive Vice President, Chief Scientific Officer and President, Regeneron Research Laboratories, Murray A. Goldberg, our Senior Vice President, Finance & Administration, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Assistant Secretary, Neil Stahl, Ph.D., our Senior Vice President, PreclinicalResearch and Development and Biomolecular Science, and Randall G. Rupp, Ph.D., our Senior Vice President, Manufacturing Operations.Sciences. There is intense competition in the biotechnology industry for qualified scientists and managerial personnel in the development, manufacture, and commercialization of drugs. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for developing our business.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
Our stock price is extremely volatile.
 
There has been significant volatility in our stock price and generally in the market prices of biotechnology companies’ securities. Various factors and events may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. These factors include, by way of example:
 
 • progress, delays, or adverse results in clinical trials;
 
 • announcement of technological innovations or product candidates by us or competitors;
 
 • fluctuations in our operating results;
 
 • public concern as to the safety or effectiveness of our product candidates;
 
 • developments in our relationship with collaborative partners;
 
 • developments in the biotechnology industry or in government regulation of healthcare;
 
 • large sales of our common stock by our executive officers, directors, or significant shareholders;


19


 • arrivals and departures of key personnel; and
 
 • general market conditions.
 
The trading price of our common stock has been, and could continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations in response to these and other factors, including the sale or attempted sale of a large amount of our common stock in the market. Broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
In future years, if we or our independent registered public accounting firm are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, the market value of our common stock could be adversely affected.
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports onForm 10-K that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing our financial statements must attest to and report on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm provided us with an unqualified report as to our assessment and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, which report is included in this Annual Report onForm 10-K. However, we cannot assure you that management or our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to provide such an assessment or unqualified report as of future year-ends. In this event, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the market value of our common stock.


22


Future sales of our common stock by our significant shareholders or us may depress our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new share offerings.
 
A small number of our shareholders beneficially own a substantial amount of our common stock. As of December 31, 2005,2006, our seven largest shareholders, including sanofi-aventis, beneficially owned 47.0%41.1% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming, in the case of Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D. Ph.D., our Chief Executive Officer, and P. Roy Vagelos, M.D., our Chairman, the conversion of their Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by them which are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2005.2006. As of that date,December 31, 2006, sanofi-aventis owned 2,799,552 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5.2%4.4% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Under our stock purchase agreement with sanofi-aventis, through September 5, 2006, sanofi-aventis may sell no more than 250,000 of these shares in any calendar quarter. After September 5, 2006, sanofi-aventis may sell no more than 500,000 of these shares in any calendar quarter. If sanofi-aventis, or our other significant shareholders or we, sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur exists, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of Common Stock by our significant shareholders, including sanofi-aventis, also might make it more difficult for us to raise funds by selling equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
 
Our existing shareholders may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval.
 
Holders of Class A Stock, who are generally the shareholders who purchased their stock from us before our initial public offering, are entitled to ten votes per share, while holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. As of December 31, 2005,2006, holders of Class A Stock held 4.2% of all shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock then outstanding, and had 30.3%26.5% of the combined voting power of all of Common Stock and Class A Stock then outstanding. These shareholders, if acting together, would be in a position to significantly influence the election of our directors and to effect or prevent certain corporate transactions that require majority or supermajority approval of the combined classes, including mergers and other business combinations. This may result in our company taking corporate actions that you may not consider to be in your best interest and may affect the price of our Common Stock. As of December 31, 2005:2006:
 
 • our current officers and directors beneficially owned 14.8%13.3% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming conversion of their Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by such persons which are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2005,2006, and 33.6%30.5% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock, assuming the exercise of all options held by such persons which are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2005;2006; and
 
 • our seven largest shareholders beneficially owned 47.0%41.1% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming, in the case of Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., our Chief Executive Officer, and P. Roy Vagelos, M.D., our Chairman, the conversion of their Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by them which are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2005.2006. In addition, these seven shareholders held 53.4%48.7% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock, assuming the exercise of all options held by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chairman which are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2005.2006.

The anti-takeover effects of provisions of our charter, by-laws, and rights agreement, and of New York corporate law, could deter, delay, or prevent an acquisition or other “change in control” of us and could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
 
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our by-laws our rights agreement and the New York Business Corporation Law contain various provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or our management that shareholders may consider favorable or beneficial. Some of these provisions could discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions include:
 
 • authorization to issue “blank check” preferred stock, which is preferred stock that can be created and issued by the board of directors without prior shareholder approval, with rights senior to those of our common shareholders;


23


 • a staggered board of directors, so that it would take three successive annual meetings to replace all of our directors;
 
 • a requirement that removal of directors may only be effected for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for directors, as well as a requirement that any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors;
 
 • any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, only if, prior to such action, all of our shareholders consent, the effect of which is to require that shareholder action may only be taken at a duly convened meeting;
 
 • any shareholder seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of shareholders must provide timely notice of this intention in writing and meet various other requirements; and
 
 • under the New York Business Corporation Law, a plan of merger or consolidation of the Company must be approved by two-thirds of the votes of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. See the risk factor immediately above captioned“Our existing shareholders may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval.”
 
WeIn addition, we have a shareholder rights plan which could make it more difficult forChange in Control Severance Plan and our chief executive officer has an employment agreement that provides severance benefits in the event our officers are terminated as a third party to acquire us withoutresult of a change in control of the support of our board of directors and principal shareholders. In addition, manyCompany. Many of our stock options issued under our 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan may become fully vested in connection with a “change in control” of the Company,our company, as defined in the plan.

Item 2.Properties
 
We conduct our research, development, manufacturing, and administrative activities at our owned and leased facilities. We currently lease approximately 236,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in Tarrytown, New York.
In December 2006, we entered into a new operating lease agreement for approximately 221,000 square feet of laboratory and office space at our current Tarrytown location. The new lease includes approximately 27,000 square feet that we currently occupy (our retained facilities) and approximately 194,000 square feet to be located in new facilities that will be constructed and which are expected to be completed in early-2009. The term of the lease is expected to commence in early-2008 and will expire approximately 16 years later. Under the new lease we also have various options and rights on additional space at the Tarrytown site, and will continue to lease our present facilities until the new facilities are ready for occupancy. In addition, the lease contains three renewal options to extend the term of the lease by five years each and early termination options for our retained facilities only. The lease provides for monthly payments over the term of the lease related to our retained facilities, the costs of construction and tenant improvements for our new facilities, and additional charges for utilities, taxes, and operating expenses.
We own a facility in Rensselaer, New York, consisting of two buildings totaling approximately 123,500 square feet of research, manufacturing, office, and warehouse space. We also lease an additional 75,000 square feet of manufacturing, office, and warehouse space in Rensselaer.

Item 3.Legal Proceedings
In May 2003, securities class action lawsuits were commenced against Regeneron and certain of our officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in October 2003. The complaint, which was purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of investors in our publicly traded securities between March 28, 2000 and March 30, 2003, alleged that the defendants misstated or omitted material information concerning the safety and efficacy of AXOKINE, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 andRule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
On November 14, 2005, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York approved the terms of a settlement between plaintiffs and Regeneron settling all claims against us in this lawsuit. The settlement requires no payment by us or any of the individual defendants named in the lawsuit. Our primary insurance carrier agreed to make the required payment under the settlement, the amount of which is immaterial to us. The settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing by Regeneron or any of the individual defendants. Separately, the plaintiffs and the individual defendants named in the lawsuit entered into a Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal, which dismissed all claims against the individuals with prejudice.
 
From time to time, we are a party to other legal proceedings in the course of our business. We do not expect any such other current legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

Item 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
We are a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and intends to commercialize pharmaceutical products for the treatment of serious medical conditions. We are currently focused on three clinical development programs: IL-1 Trap (rilonacept) in various inflammatory indications, the VEGF Trap in oncology, and the VEGF Trap-Eye formulation in eye diseases using intraocular delivery, and IL-1 Trap in certain systemic inflammatory indications.delivery. The VEGF Trap oncology development program is being developed jointlyin oncology in collaboration with the sanofi-aventis Group under a September 2003Group. In October 2006, we entered into collaboration agreement.with Bayer HealthCare LLC for the development of the VEGF Trap-Eye. Our preclinical research programs are in the areas of oncology and angiogenesis, ophthalmology, metabolic and related diseases, muscle diseases and disorders, inflammation and immune diseases, bone and cartilage, pain, and cardiovascular diseases. We expect that our next generation of product candidates will be based on our proprietary technologies for developing Traps and Human Monoclonal Antibodies.human monoclonal antibodies.
 
Developing and commercializing new medicines entails significant risk and expense. Since inception we have not generated any sales or profits from the commercialization of any of our product candidates and we may never receive such revenues. Before revenues from the commercialization of our product candidates can be realized, we (or our collaborators) must overcome a number of hurdles which include successfully completing research and development and obtaining regulatory approval from the FDA and regulatory authorities in other countries. In addition, the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are rapidly evolving and highly competitive, and new developments may render our products and technologies uncompetitive or obsolete.
 
From inception on January 8, 1988 through December 31, 2005,2006, we had a cumulative loss of $585.3$687.6 million. In the absence of revenues from the commercialization of our product candidates or other sources, the amount, timing, nature, and source of which cannot be predicted, our losses will continue as we conduct our research and development activities. We expect to incur substantial losses over the next several years as we continue the clinical development of the VEGF Trap-Eye and IL-1 Trap; advance new product candidates into clinical development from our existing research programs;programs utilizing our new technology for designing fully human monoclonal antibodies; continue our research and development programs; and commercialize product candidates that receive regulatory approval, if any. Also, our activities may expand over time and require additional resources, and we expect our operating losses to be substantial over at least the next several years. Our losses may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and will depend, among other factors, on the progress of our research and development efforts, the timing of certain expenses, and the amount and timing of payments that we receive from collaborators.
 
As a company that does not expect to generate product revenues or profitsbe profitable over the next several years, management of cash flow is extremely important. The most significant use of our cash is for research and development activities, which include drug discovery, preclinical studies, clinical trials, and the manufacture of drug supplies for preclinical studies and clinical trials. In 2005,2006, our research and development expenses totaled $155.6$137.1 million. We expect these expenses to increase 5-10%substantially in 2006, depending on2007 as we begin Phase 3 clinical trials of the progress ofVEGF Trap-Eye, expand our IL-1 Trap clinical programs.program, advance our antibody development program, and increase our research and development headcount. The principal sources of cash to-date have been sales of common equity and convertible debt and funding from our collaborators in the form of up-front payments, research progress payments, and payments for our research and development activities, and purchases of our common stock. We also receive payments for contract manufacturing.activities.

28


 
A primary driver of our expenses is our number of full-time employees. Our annual average headcount in 2006 was 573 compared with 696 in 2005 was 696 compared toand 721 in 2004 and 675 in 2003.2004. In 2006, we expect our average annual average headcount to decrease to approximately 600,decreased primarily as a result of reductions made in the fourth quarter of 2005 and planned for mid-2006. Themid-year in 2006. These workforce reductions which we announced in September 2005, arewere associated with narrowing the focus of our research and development efforts, substantial improvements in manufacturing productivity, the June 2005 expiration of our collaboration with Procter & Gamble, and the expected completion of contract manufacturing for Merck in lateOctober 2006. In 2007, we expect our annual average headcount to increase to approximately 650 due, in part, to our expanded development programs for the VEGF Trap-Eye and IL-1 Trap, and our plans to move two new antibody candidates into clinical trials every year beginning around the end of 2007.

Collaborations
 
Our majorcurrent collaboration agreements with sanofi-aventis, Bayer, and Novartis Pharma AG, and our expired agreement with The Procter & Gamble Company are summarized below.
 
The sanofi-aventis Group
 
In September 2003, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (now a member of the sanofi-aventis Group) to collaborate on the development and commercialization of the VEGF Trap in all countries other than Japan, where we retained the exclusive right to develop and commercialize the VEGF Trap. Sanofi-aventis made a non-refundable up-front payment of $80.0 million and purchased 2,799,552 newly issued unregistered shares of our Common Stock for $45.0 million.
 
In January 2005, we and sanofi-aventis amended our collaboration agreement to exclude rights to develop and commercialize the VEGF Trap for intraocular delivery to the eye. In connection with this amendment, sanofi-aventis made a $25.0 million non-refundable payment to us.
 
In December 2005, we and sanofi-aventis amended our collaboration agreement to expand the territory in which the companies are collaborating on the development of the VEGF Trap to include Japan. As a result, the collaboration now includes joint development of the VEGF Trap throughout the world in all indications, except for intraocular delivery to the eye. In connection with this amendment, sanofi-aventis agreed to make a $25.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to us, which was received in January 2006. We may also receive up to $40.0 million in milestone payments upon receipt of specified marketing approvals for up to five VEGF Trap indications in Japan and a royalty of approximately 35% on annual sales of the VEGF Trap in Japan, subject to certain potential adjustments.
Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, we and sanofi-aventis will share co-promotion rights and profits on sales, if any, of the VEGF Trap outside of Japan, for disease indications included in our collaboration. We are entitled to a royalty of approximately 35% on annual sales of the VEGF Trap in Japan, subject to certain potential adjustments. We may also receive up to $400.0 million in additional milestone payments upon receipt of specified marketing approvals, includingapprovals. This total includes up to $360.0 million in milestone payments related to the receipt of marketing approvals for up to eight VEGF Trap oncology and other indications in the United States or the European Union. Another $40.0 million of milestone payments relate to receipt of marketing approvals for up to five VEGF Trap oncology indications in Japan. In December 2004, we earned a $25.0 million payment from sanofi-aventis, which was received in January 2005, upon the achievement of an early-stage clinical milestone.
 
Regeneron has agreed to continue to manufacture clinical supplies of the VEGF Trap at our plant in Rensselaer, New York. Sanofi-aventis has agreed to be responsible for providing commercial scale manufacturing capacity for the VEGF Trap.
 
Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, agreed upon worldwide development expenses incurred by both companies during the term of the agreement will be funded by sanofi-aventis. If the collaboration becomes profitable, we will be obligated to reimburse sanofi-aventis for 50% of these development expenses, including 50% of the $25.0 million payment received in connection with the January 2005 amendment to our collaboration agreement, in accordance with a formula based on the amount of development expenses and our share of the


30


collaboration profits and Japan royalties, or at a faster rate at our option. Since inception of the collaboration through December 31, 2005,2006, we and sanofi-aventis have incurred $130.5$205.0 million in agreed upon development expenses related to the VEGF Trap program. In addition, if the first commercial sale of a VEGF Trap product for intraocular delivery to the eye predates the first commercial sale of a VEGF Trap product under the collaboration by

27


two years, we will begin reimbursing sanofi-aventis for up to $7.5 million of VEGF Trap development expenses in accordance with a formula until the first commercial VEGF Trap sale under the collaboration occurs.
 
Sanofi-aventis has the right to terminate the agreement without cause with at least twelve months advance notice. Upon termination of the agreement for any reason, any remaining obligation to reimburse sanofi-aventis for 50% of the VEGF Trap development expenses will terminate and we will retain all rights to the VEGF Trap.
 
Bayer Healthcare LLC
In October 2006, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Bayer to globally develop, and commercialize outside the United States, the VEGF Trap-Eye. Under the terms of the agreement, Bayer made a non-refundable up-front payment to us of $75.0 million. In addition, we are eligible to receive up to $110.0 million in development and regulatory milestones, including a total of $40.0 million upon the initiation of Phase 3 trials in defined major indications such as wet AMD and DME. We are also eligible to receive up to an additional $135.0 million in sales milestones when and if total annual sales of the VEGF Trap-Eye outside the United States achieve certain specified levels starting at $200.0 million.
We will share equally with Bayer in any future profits arising from the commercialization of the VEGF Trap-Eye outside the United States. If the VEGF Trap-Eye is granted marketing authorization in a major market country outside the United States and the collaboration becomes profitable, we will be obligated to reimburse Bayer out of our share of the collaboration profits for 50% of the agreed upon development expenses that Bayer has incurred in accordance with a formula based on the amount of development expenses that Bayer has incurred and our share of the collaboration profits, or at a faster rate at our option. Within the United States, we are responsible for any future commercialization of the VEGF Trap-Eye and have retained exclusive rights to any future profits arising therefrom.
Agreed upon development expenses incurred by both companies, beginning in 2007, under a global development plan will be shared as follows:
2007: Up to $50.0 million shared equally; we are solely responsible for up to the next $40.0 million; over $90.0 million shared equally.
2008: Up to $70.0 million shared equally, we are solely responsible for up to the next $30.0 million; over $100.0 million shared equally.
2009 and thereafter: All expenses shared equally.
Neither party will be reimbursed for any development expenses that it incurred prior to 2007.
We are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply clinical and commercial product requirements.
Bayer has the right to terminate the agreement without cause with at least six months or twelve months advance notice depending on defined circumstances at the time of termination. In the event of termination of the agreement for any reason, we retain all rights to the VEGF Trap-Eye.
Novartis Pharma AG
 
In March 2003, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Novartis to jointly develop and commercialize the IL-1 Trap. Novartis made a non-refundable payment to us of $27.0 million and purchased 7,527,050 newly issued unregistered shares of our Common Stock for $48.0 million.
 
IL-1 Trap development expenses incurred in 2003 were shared equally by Regeneron and Novartis. We funded our share of 2003 development expenses through loans from Novartis. In March 2004, Novartis forgave its outstanding loans to us totaling $17.8 million, including accrued interest, based on Regeneron’s achieving a pre-defined development milestone, which was recognized as a research progress payment.


31


 
In February 2004, Novartis provided notice of its intention not to proceed with the joint development of theIL-1 Trap, and subsequently paid us $42.75 million to satisfy its obligation to fund development costs for the nine month period following its notification and for the two months prior to that notice. All rights to the IL-1 Trap have reverted to Regeneron. In addition, we recognized contract research and development revenue of $22.1 million, which represents the remaining amount of the March 2003 up-front payment from Novartis that had previously been deferred.
Under the collaboration agreement, we retain the right to elect to collaborate in the future development and commercialization of a Novartis IL-1 antibody, which is in clinical development. Following completion of Phase 2 development and submission to us of a written report on the Novartis IL-1 antibody, we have the right, in consideration for an opt-in payment, to elect to co-develop and co-commercialize the Novartis IL-1 antibody in North America. If we elect to exercise this right, we are responsible for paying 45% of post-election North American development costs for the antibody product. In return, we are entitled to co-promote the Novartis IL-1 antibody and to receive 45% of net profits on sales of the antibody product in North America. Under certain circumstances, we are also entitled to receive royalties on sales of the Novartis IL-1 antibody in Europe.
In addition, under the collaboration agreement, Novartis has the right to elect to collaborate in the development and commercialization of oura second generation IL-1 Trap following completion of its Phase 2 development, should we decide to clinically develop thissuch a second generation product candidate. Novartis does not have any rights or options with respect to our IL-1 Trap currently in clinical development.
 
The Procter & Gamble Company
 
In May 1997, we entered into a long-term collaboration agreement with Procter & Gamble to discover, develop, and commercialize pharmaceutical products. In connection with the collaboration,products, and Procter & Gamble agreed to provide funding in support of our research efforts related to the collaboration. Effective December 31, 2000, we andin accordance with the companies’ collaboration agreement, Procter & Gamble entered into a new long-term collaboration agreement, replacing the companies’ 1997 agreement. The new agreement extended Procter & Gamble’s obligationwas obligated to fund our research under the new collaboration agreementon therapeutic areas that were of particular interest to Procter & Gamble through December 2005, with no further research obligations by either party thereafter. We and Procter & Gamble divided rights to the programs from the 1997 collaboration agreement that were no longer part of the companies’ collaboration. Under the December 2000collaboration agreement, research support from Procter & Gamble was $2.5 million per quarter, plus annual adjustments for inflation, through December 2005.
 
In June 2005, we and Procter & Gamble amended our December 2000 collaboration agreement. Under the terms of the modified agreement, the two companies agreed that the research activities being pursued under the collaboration agreement were completed on June 30, 2005, six months prior to the December 31, 2005 expiration date in the collaboration agreement. Procter & Gamble agreed to make a one-time $5.6 million payment to Regeneron, which was received in July 2005, and to fund our research under the agreement through the second quarter of 2005. We agreed to pay Procter & Gamble approximately $1.0 million to acquire certain capital equipment owned by Procter & Gamble and located at our facilities. We and Procter & Gamble divided rights to research programs and preclinical product candidates that were developed during the research term of the collaboration. Neither party has the right to participate in the development or commercialization of the other party’s product candidates. We are entitled to receive royalties based on any future product sales of a Procter & Gamble preclinical candidate arising from the collaboration.collaboration, and Procter & Gamble is entitled to receive a small royalty on any sales of a single Regeneron candidate that is not currently being developed. Neither party is entitled to receive either royalties or other payments based on any other products arising from the December 2000 collaboration agreement.collaboration.
 
Other Agreements
AstraZeneca
In February 2007, we entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with AstraZeneca that will allow AstraZeneca to utilize our VelocImmune®technology in its internal research programs to discover human monoclonal antibodies. Under the terms of the agreement, AstraZeneca made a $20.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to us. AstraZeneca also will make up to five additional annual payments of $20.0 million, subject to its ability to terminate the agreement after making the first three additional payments or earlier if the technology does not meet minimum performance criteria. We are entitled to receive a mid-single-digit royalty on any future sales of antibody products discovered by AstraZeneca using our VelocImmune technology.

National Institutes of Health
In September 2006, we were awarded a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as part of the NIH’s Knockout Mouse Project. The goal of the Knockout Mouse Project is to build a comprehensive and broadly available resource of knockout mice to accelerate the understanding of gene function and human diseases. We will use our VelociGene® technology to take aim at 3,500 of the most difficult genes to target and which are not currently the focus of other large-scale knockout mouse programs. We have also agreed to grant a limited license to a consortium of research institutions, the other major participants in the Knockout Mouse Project, to use components of our VelociGene technology in the Knockout Mouse Project. We will generate a collection of targeting vectors and targeted mouse embryonic stem cells (ES cells) which can be used to produce knockout mice. These materials will be made widely available to academic researchers without charge. We will receive a fee for each targeted ES cell line or targeting construct made by us or the research consortium and transferred to commercial entities.
Under the NIH grant, we will be entitled to receive a minimum of $17.9 million over a five-year period. We will receive another $1.0 million to optimize our existing C57BL/6 ES cell line and its proprietary growth medium, both of which will be supplied to the research consortium for its use in the Knockout Mouse Project. We will have the right to use, for any purpose, all materials generated by us and the research consortium.
Accounting for Stock-based Employee Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (SFAS) 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, using the modified prospective method as described in SFAS 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. As a result, effective January 1,in 2005, we have been


28


recognizingrecognized compensation expense, in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments (including stock option awards) on their date of grant, over the vesting period of the awards.awards using graded vesting, which is an accelerated expense recognition method. Under the modified prospective method, we recognize compensation expense for Regeneron is recognized for (a) all share based payments granted on or after January 1, 2005 (including replacement options granted under our stock option exchange program which concluded on January 5, 2005) and (b) all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2005 that were unvested on that date. Prior to the adoption of the fair value method, we accounted for stock-based compensation to employees under the intrinsic value method of accounting set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. (APB) 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Therefore, compensation expense related to employee stock options was not reflected in operating expenses in any period prior to the first quarter of 2005 and prior period operating results have not been restated. For
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R,Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, and requires the recognition of compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment (including stock options and restricted stock) issued to employees. SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited at the time of grant and to revise this estimate, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Effective January 1, 2005, and prior to our adoption of SFAS 123R, we recognized the effect of forfeitures in stock-based compensation cost in the period when they occurred, in accordance with SFAS 123. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006, we were required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to reflect the effect of estimated forfeitures related to outstanding awards that are not expected to vest as of the SFAS 123R adoption date. This adjustment reduced our loss by $0.8 million and is included in our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2005, non-cash2006 as a cumulative-effect adjustment of a change in accounting principle. Exclusive of the cumulative-effect adjustment, the effect of the change from applying the provisions of SFAS 123 to applying the provisions of SFAS 123R on our loss from operations, net loss, and net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 was not significant, and there was no impact to our cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Non-cash stock-based employee compensation expense related to stock optionsoption awards (Stock Option Expense) totaled $20.0 million, of which $19.9 million was recognized in operating expenses totaled $18.4 million and $19.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2005, $0.1 million of Stock Option Expense

was capitalized into inventory. As of December 31, 2006, there was $44.0 million of stock-based compensation cost related to outstanding nonvested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, which had not yet been recognized in inventory.operating expenses. We expect to recognize this compensation cost over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. In addition, there are 723,092 options which are unvested as of December 31, 2006 and would become vested upon our products achieving certain sales targets and the optionee satisfying certain service conditions. Potential compensation cost, measured on the grant date, related to these performance options totals $2.7 million and will begin to be recognized only if, and when, these options’ performance condition is considered to be probable of attainment.
 
Assumptions
 
We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of each option granted under the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to (i) expected volatility of our Common Stock price, (ii) the periods of time over which employees and members of our board of directors are expected to hold their options prior to exercise (expected lives), (iii) expected dividend yield on our Common Stock, and (iv) risk-free interest rates, which are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates for securities with maturities approximating the options’ expected lives. Expected volatility which is re-evaluated at least quarterly, has been estimated based on actual movements in our stock price over the most recent historical periods equivalent to the options’ expected lives. Expected lives are principally based on our limited historical exercise experience with option grants with similar exercise prices. The expected dividend yield is zero as we have never paid dividends and do not currently anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. The following table summarizes the weighted average values of the assumptions we used in computing the fair value of option grants during 2006, 2005 2004 and 2003:2004:
 
                        
 2005 2004 2003  2006 2005 2004 
Expected volatility  71%   80%   80%   67%   71%   80% 
Expected lives from grant date  5.9 years   7.5 years   7.3 years   6.5 years   5.9 years   7.5 years 
Dividend yield  0%   0%   0%

Risk-free interest rate  4.16%   4.03%   3.75%   4.51%   4.16%   4.03% 
 
Changes in any of these estimates may materially affect the fair value of stock options granted and the amount of stock-based compensation recognized in any period.
 
Results of Operations
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
 
As described above, effective January 1, 2005, Regeneron began recognizing Stock Option Expense in accordance with SFAS 123 in each of the categories of expense in our Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123, Stock Option Expense was not reflected in operating expenses and prior period operating results have not been restated.Net Loss:
 
The discussionRegeneron reported a net loss of our results$102.3 million, or $1.77 per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a net loss of operations$95.4 million, or $1.71 per (basic and diluted) for 2005.
Revenues:
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 consist of the following:

We recognize revenue from sanofi-aventis, in connection with the companies’ VEGF Trap collaboration, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition(SAB 104) and 2004FASB Emerging Issue Task Force IssueNo. 00-21,Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables(EITF00-21) (see “Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates”). We earn contract research and development revenue from sanofi-aventis which, as detailed below, consists partly of reimbursement for research and development expenses and partly of the recognition of revenue related to a total of $105.0 million of non-refundable, up-front payments received in 2003 and 2006. Non-refundable up-front payments are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the period during which we are obligated to perform services.

Sanofi-aventis’ reimbursement of Regeneron VEGF Trap expenses increased in 2006 compared to 2005, primarily due to higher costs related to our manufacture of VEGF Trap clinical supplies during the first half of 2006. Recognition of deferred revenue related to sanofi-aventis’ up-front payments also increased in 2006 from the same period in 2005, due to our receipt in January 2006 of a $25.0 million non-refundable, up-front payment from sanofi-aventis related to the expansion of the companies’ VEGF Trap collaboration to include Japan. As of December 31, 2006, $70.0 million of the original $105.0 million of up-front payments was deferred and will be recognized as revenue in future periods.
Contract research and development revenue earned from Procter & Gamble decreased in 2006 compared to 2005, as the research activities being pursued under our December 2000 collaboration agreement with Procter & Gamble, as amended, were completed on June 30, 2005, as described above under “Collaborations — The Procter & Gamble Company.” Since the second quarter of 2005, we have not received, and do not expect to receive, any further contract research and development revenue from Procter & Gamble.
As described above, in October 2006 we entered into a VEGF Trap-Eye collaboration with Bayer. We will recognize revenue from Bayer, in connection with the companies’ collaboration, in accordance with SAB 104 and EITF00-21. When we and Bayer have formalized our projected global development plans for the VEGF Trap-Eye, as well as the projected responsibilities of each of the companies under those development plans, we will begin recognizing contract research and development revenue related to payments from Bayer. As a result, there was no contract research and development revenue earned from Bayer in 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the $75.0 million up-front payment received from Bayer in October 2006 was deferred and will be recognized as revenue in future periods.
Other contract research and development revenue includes certain financial measures that are calculated$0.5 million recognized in connection with our NIH Grant, as described above.
Contract manufacturing revenue relates to our long-term agreement with Merck & Co., Inc., which expired in October 2006, to manufacture a manner differentvaccine intermediate at our Rensselaer, New York facility. Contract manufacturing revenue decreased in 2006 compared to 2005 due to a decrease in product shipments to Merck in 2006. Revenue and the related manufacturing expense were recognized as product was shipped, after acceptance by Merck. Included in contract manufacturing revenue in 2006 and 2005 were $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of deferred revenue associated with capital improvement reimbursements paid by Merck prior to commencement of production. We do not expect to receive any further contract manufacturing revenue from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)Merck and are considered non-GAAP financial measures under United States Securitiesthere was no Merck deferred revenue as of the end of 2006.
Expenses:
Total operating expenses decreased to $171.1 million in 2006 from $190.6 million in 2005 due, in part, to our lower headcount, as described above. (Also see “Severance Costs” below.)

Our management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures described above present helpful information to investors and other users of Regeneron’s financial statements by providing greater transparency about the nature of and trends in our operating expenses and net income (loss) and a more useful basis for comparing our operating results for the years ended December 31, 20052006 and 2004.2005:

Payroll and benefits decreased principally due to our lower headcount in 2006. In addition, Regeneron’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures which exclude Stock Option Expense internally for operating, budgeting,payroll and financial planning purposes. Inbenefits in 2006 and 2005 included $0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of severance costs associated with our discussion below


36


workforce reduction plan that we have included tables which provide a reconciliationinitiated in October 2005. Clinical trial expenses decreased primarily due to lower IL-1 Trap costs in 2006 as we discontinued clinical development of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measuresIL-1 Trap in adult rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in the second half of 2005. This decrease was partly offset by higher 2006 VEGF Trap-Eye costs related to Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials that we are conducting in wet AMD. Clinical manufacturing costs decreased because of lower costs in 2006 related to manufacturing IL-1 Trap clinical supplies, which were partially offset by higher costs related to manufacturing VEGF Trap clinical supplies. Research and preclinical development costs decreased principally because of lower costs for general research supplies in 2006 as we narrowed the focus of our research and development efforts due, in part, to the expiration of our collaboration with Procter & Gamble in June 2005, as described above. Occupancy and other operating costs decreased primarily due to our lower 2006 headcount and lower costs for utilities associated with our leased research facilities in Tarrytown, New York.
Contract Manufacturing Expenses:
Contract manufacturing expenses decreased to $8.1 million in 2006, compared to $9.6 million in 2005, primarily because we shipped less product to Merck in 2006.
General and Administrative Expenses:
General and administrative expenses increased to $25.9 million in 2006 from $25.4 million in the same period of 2005 as higher legal expenses related to general corporate matters and higher patent-and trademark-related costs were partly offset by lower professional fees for internal audit and other administrative advisory services and lower administrative facility costs.
Other Income and Expense:
In June 2005, we and Procter & Gamble amended our collaboration agreement and agreed that the research activities of both companies under the collaboration agreement were completed. In connection with the amendment, Procter & Gamble made a one-time $5.6 million payment to us, which we recognized as other contract income in 2005. In January 2005, we and sanofi-aventis amended our collaboration agreement to exclude rights to develop and commercialize the VEGF Trap for intraocular delivery to the eye. In connection with the amendment, sanofi-aventis made a one-time $25.0 million payment to us, which we recognized as other contract income in 2005.
Investment income increased to $16.5 million in 2006 from $10.4 million in 2005, due primarily to higher balances of cash and marketable securities (due, in part, to the up-front payment received from Bayer in October 2006, as described above, and the most directly comparable financial measures calculatedreceipt of net proceeds from the November 2006 public offering of our Common Stock), as well as higher effective interest rates on investment securities in 2006. Interest expense was $12.0 million in 2006 and presented2005. Interest expense is attributable primarily to $200.0 million of convertible notes issued in accordance with GAAP.October 2001, which mature in 2008 and bear interest at 5.5% per annum.
 
Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
 
Net Income (Loss):
 
Regeneron reported a net loss of $95.4 million, or $1.71 per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with net income of $41.7 million, or $0.75 per basic share and $0.74 per diluted share, for 2004.

Our total revenue decreased to $66.2 million in 2005 from $174.0 million in 2004, due primarily to lower revenues related to our collaboration with sanofi-aventis on the VEGF Trap and the absence in the 2005 period of revenues related to our collaboration with Novartis on the IL-1 Trap which ended in 2004. We recognize revenue from the sanofi-aventis and Novartis collaborations in accordance with SAB 104 and EITF00-21 (see Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates). Collaboration revenue earned from sanofi-aventis and Novartis is comprised of contract research and development revenue and research progress payments. Contract research and development revenue, as detailed below, consists partly of reimbursement for research and development expenses and partly of the recognition of revenue related to non-refundable, up-front payments. Non-refundable up-front payments are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over

Sanofi-aventis’ reimbursement of Regeneron VEGF Trap expenses decreased in 2005 compared to 2004, primarily due to lower clinical supply manufacturing costs in 2005. We manufactured clinical supplies of the VEGF Trap throughout 2004, but only manufactured VEGF Trap clinical supplies during the fourth quarter of 2005. In the first quarter of 2004, Novartis provided notice of its intention not to proceed with the joint development of the IL-1 Trap and the remaining balance of the $27.0 million up-front payment received from Novartis in March 2003 was


38


recognized as contract research and development revenue. Since the first quarter of 2004, we have not received, and do not expect to receive, any further contract research and development revenue from Novartis.
 
Contract research and development revenue earned from Procter & Gamble also decreased in 2005 compared to 2004, resulting from the June 2005 amendment to our December 2000 collaboration agreement with Procter & Gamble, as described above under “Collaborations — The Procter & Gamble Company.”Gamble. Under the terms of the modified agreement, Procter & Gamble funded Regeneron’s research for the first two quarters of 2005, compared with a full year of collaborative research funding in 2004. WeSince the second quarter of 2005, we have not received, and do not expect to receive, any further contract research and development revenue from Procter & Gamble.
 
In December 2004, we earned a $25.0 million research progress payment from sanofi-aventis, which was received in January 2005, upon achievement of an early-stage VEGF Trap clinical milestone. In March 2004, Novartis forgave all of its outstanding loans, including accrued interest, to Regeneron totaling $17.8 million, based upon Regeneron’s achieving a pre-defined IL-1 Trap development milestone. These amounts were recognized as research progress payments in 2004.
 
Contract manufacturing revenue relates to our long-term agreement with Merck, which expiresexpired in October 2006, to manufacture a vaccine intermediate at our Rensselaer, New York facility.2006. Contract manufacturing revenue decreased to $13.7 million in 2005 from $18.1 million in 2004, principally due to a decrease in product shipments to Merck in 2005 compared to 2004. Revenue and the related manufacturing expense arewere recognized as product iswas shipped, after acceptance by Merck. Included in contract manufacturing revenue in 2005 and 2004 arewere $1.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of deferred revenue associated with capital improvement reimbursements paid by Merck prior to commencement of production. This deferred revenue is being recognized as product is shipped to Merck based on the total amount of product expected to be shipped over the term of the agreement. In February 2005, we agreed to extend the manufacturing agreement by one year through October 2006. As a result, in 2005 we began recognizing the remaining deferred balance of Merck’s capital improvement reimbursements as of December 31, 2004, which totaled $2.7 million, as revenue as product is shipped to Merck, based upon Merck’s order quantities through October 2006.

Expenses:
 
Total operating expenses increased to $190.6 million in 2005 from $168.4 million in 2004. Operating expenses in 2005 include a total of $19.9 million of Stock Option Expense, as follows:

In addition, $0.1 million of Stock Option Expense was capitalized into inventory, for a total of $20.0 million of Stock Option Expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2005. As described under “Accounting for Stock-based Employee Compensation” above, Stock Option Expense was not included in operating expenses in 2004, as reported in our Statement of Operations. In 2004, had we adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123, Stock Option Expense would have totaled $33.6 million. The decrease in total Stock Option Expense of $13.6 million in 2005 was partly due to lower exercise prices of annual employee option grants made by us in December 2004 in comparison to the exercise prices of annual grants in recent prior years. Exercise prices of these option grants were generally equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The decrease in Stock Option Expense in 2005 was also due, in part, to the exchange of options by eligible employees in connection with our stock option exchange program in January 2005, as the unamortized fair value of the surrendered options on the date of the exchange is being recognized as Stock Option Expense over a longer time period (the vesting period of the replacement options) in accordance with SFAS 123.

Research and Development Expenses:
 
Research and development expenses exclusive of Stock Option Expense, increased to $143.7$155.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $136.1 million for 2004.2004 due, in part, to the inclusion of $11.9 million of Stock Option Expense in 2005 research and development expenses, resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123, effective January 1, 2005.

Payroll and benefits, exclusive of Stock Option Expense, increased $4.7$4.5 million in 2005 from 2004 due primarily to 2005 wage and salary increases, higher employee benefit costs, and severance costs (totaling $2.2 million in 2005) associated with our workforce reduction plan that we initiated in October 2005. Clinical trial expenses increased $7.9 million in 2005 from 2004 due primarily to higher IL-1 Trap costs associated with commencing clinical studies in new indications and discontinuing the Phase 2b study in adult rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical manufacturing costs, exclusive of Stock Option Expense, decreased $3.8$2.6 million in 2005 from 2004, as lower costs in 2005 related to manufacturing clinical supplies of the VEGF Trap and the IL-4/13 Trap were partly offset by higher costs related to manufacturing clinical supplies of the IL-1 Trap. Research and preclinical development costs decreased $2.4$3.0 million in 2005 from 2004 due primarily to lower VEGF Trap preclinical development costs and lower costs for general research supplies in 2005. Occupancy and other operating costs increased by $1.2$0.8 million in 2005 from 2004, due primarily to higher costs for utilities, taxes, and operating expenses associated with our leased research facilities in Tarrytown, New York.
 
Contract Manufacturing Expenses:
 
Contract manufacturing expenses exclusive of Stock Option Expense, decreased to $9.2$9.6 million in 2005, compared to $15.2 million in 2004, primarily because we shipped less product to Merck in 2005 and we incurred unfavorable manufacturing costs in 2004, which were expensed in the period incurred.
 
General and Administrative Expenses:
 
General and administrative expenses exclusive of Stock Option Expense, increased to $17.8$25.4 million in 2005 from $17.1 million in 2004, asdue primarily to the inclusion of $7.6 million of Stock Option Expense in 2005 general and administrative expenses,

In addition, in 2005 administrative wage and salary increases, higher employee benefits costs and higher administrative facility costs were partly offset by (i) lower legal expenses related to Company litigation and general corporate matters and (ii) lower professional fees, principally associated with accounting and other services related to our first year of compliance in 2004 with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
 
Other Income and Expense:
 
In June 2005, we and Procter & Gamble amended our collaboration agreement and agreed that the research activities of both companies under the collaboration agreement were completed. In connection with the amendment, Procter & Gamble made a one-time $5.6 million payment to us, which we recognized as other contract income in 2005. In January 2005, we and sanofi-aventis amended our collaboration agreement to exclude rights to develop and commercialize the VEGF Trap for intraocular delivery to the eye. In connection with the amendment, sanofi-aventis made a one-time $25.0 million payment to us, which we recognized as other contract income in 2005. In the first quarter of 2004, Novartis notified us of its decision to forgo its right under the collaboration to jointly develop the IL-1 Trap and subsequently paid us $42.75 million to satisfy its obligation to fund development costs for the IL-1 Trap for the nine-month period following its notification and for the two months prior to that notice. The $42.75 million was included in other contract income in 2004.
 
Investment income increased to $10.4 million in 2005 from $5.5 million in 2004, due primarily to higher effective interest rates on investment securities in 2005. Interest expense decreased slightly to $12.0 million in 2005 from $12.2 million in 2004. Interest expense is attributable primarily to $200.0 million of convertible notes issued in October 2001, which mature in 2008 and bear interest at 5.5% per annum.

Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
 
Revenues:
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 consist of the following:
         
  2004  2003 
  (In millions) 
 
Contract research & development revenue        
Sanofi-aventis $78.3  $14.3 
Novartis  22.1   21.4 
Procter & Gamble  10.5   10.6

Total research progress payments  42.8     
         
Contract manufacturing revenue  18.1   10.1 
         
Total revenue $174.0  $57.5 
         
Our total revenue increased to $174.0 million in 2004 from $57.5 million in 2003, due primarily to higher revenues related to our collaboration with sanofi-aventis on the VEGF Trap and our prior collaboration with Novartis on the IL-1 Trap. Collaboration revenue earned from sanofi-aventis and Novartis is comprised of contract research and development revenue and research progress payments. Contract research and development revenue, as detailed below, consists partly of reimbursement for research and development expenses and partly of the recognition of revenue related to non-refundable, up-front payments. Non-refundable up-front payments are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the period over which we are obligated to perform services in accordance with SAB 104 (see Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates). In the first quarter of 2004, Novartis provided notice of its intention not to proceed with the joint development of the IL-1 Trap and the $22.1 million remaining balance of the $27.0 million up-front payment received from Novartis in March 2003 was recognized as contract research and development revenue.
Sanofi-aventis and Novartis contract research & development revenues for 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

In December 2004, we earned a $25.0 million research progress payment from sanofi-aventis, which was received in January 2005, upon achievement of an early-stage VEGF Trap clinical milestone. In March 2004, Novartis forgave all its outstanding loans, including accrued interest, to Regeneron totaling $17.8 million, based upon Regeneron’s achieving a pre-defined IL-1 Trap development milestone. These amounts were recognized as research progress payments in 2004.
Contract manufacturing revenue relates to our long-term agreement with Merck, which expires in October 2006. Contract manufacturing revenue increased to $18.1 million in 2004 from $10.1 million in 2003, principally due to an increase in product shipments to Merck in 2004 compared to 2003. Revenue and the related manufacturing expense are recognized as product is shipped, after acceptance by Merck. Included in contract manufacturing revenue in 2004 and 2003 are $3.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of deferred revenue associated with capital improvement reimbursements paid by Merck prior to commencement of production. This deferred revenue is being recognized as product is shipped to Merck based on the total amount of product expected to be shipped over the life of the manufacturing agreement. In February 2005, we agreed to extend the manufacturing agreement by one year through October 2006.
Research and Development Expenses:
Research and development expenses increased slightly to $136.1 million in 2004 from $136.0 million in 2003. The following table summarizes the major categories of our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003:
         
  2004  2003 
  (In millions) 
 
Research and development expenses:        
Payroll and benefits $43.6  $38.5 
Clinical trial expenses  10.3   25.0 
Clinical manufacturing costs (1)  36.4   29.8 
Research and preclinical development costs  23.1   19.6 
Occupancy and other operating costs  22.7   23.1 
         
Total research and development $136.1  $136.0 
         
(1)Represents the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research, preclinical development, and clinical trials, including related payroll and benefits, manufacturing materials and supplies, depreciation, and occupancy costs of our Rensselaer manufacturing facility.
Payroll and benefits increased $5.1 million in 2004 from 2003 as we added research and development personnel to support our clinical and research programs, especially for the VEGF Trap and IL-1 Trap. Clinical trial expenses decreased $14.7 million in 2004 from 2003 due primarily to the completion of the double-blind treatment portion of our AXOKINE phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of obesity in 2003, the completion of other AXOKINE trials in 2004, and the completion of our IL-4/13 Trap phase 1 trial in 2004. These decreases were partly offset by higher clinical trial expenses related to our VEGF Trap and IL-1 Trap clinical programs. Clinical manufacturing costs increased $6.6 million in 2004 from 2003, as we manufactured supplies of our clinical product candidates in our expanded Rensselaer manufacturing facility for the full year of 2004. Research and preclinical development costs increased $3.5 million due primarily to higher preclinical development costs related to our VEGF Trap program and higher research-related costs for outside services in 2004 than in 2003. Occupancy and other operating costs decreased slightly by $0.4 million in 2004 from 2003 resulting primarily from lower depreciation costs due to extending the lease on our Tarrytown, New York facilities in early 2004.
Contract Manufacturing Expenses:
Contract manufacturing expenses increased to $15.2 million in 2004, compared to $6.7 million in 2003, primarily because more product was shipped to Merck in 2004 and the Company incurred unfavorable manufacturing costs, which were expensed in the period incurred, in 2004 compared to 2003.


35


General and Administrative Expenses:
General and administrative expenses increased to $17.1 million in 2004 from $14.8 million in 2003, due primarily to a $1.4 million increase in professional fees, principally associated with accounting and other services related to our efforts to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The remainder of the 2004 increase was principally due to increases in payroll and related costs associated, in part, with higher administrative headcount in 2004 to support the Company’s operations.
Other Income and Expense:
In the first quarter of 2004, Novartis notified us of its decision to forego its right under our collaboration to jointly develop the IL-1 Trap and subsequently paid us $42.75 million to satisfy its obligation to fund development costs for the IL-1 Trap for the nine-month period following its notification and for the two months prior to that notice. The $42.75 million was included in other contract income in 2004.
Investment income increased to $5.5 million in 2004 from $4.5 million in 2003 due primarily to higher effective interest rates on investment securities. Interest expense increased slightly to $12.2 million in 2004 from $11.9 million in 2003. Interest expense is attributable primarily to $200.0 million of convertible notes issued in October 2001, which mature in 2008 and bear interest at 5.5% per annum.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since our inception in 1988, we have financed our operations primarily through offerings of our equity securities, a private placement of convertible debt, revenue earned under our past and present research and development and contract manufacturing agreements, including our agreements with sanofi-aventis, Novartis, Procter & Gamble,Bayer, and Merck, and investment income.
 
Change in Classification
We have revised in our previously issued financial statements included in this Report onForm 10-K the classification of our investments in auction rate securities from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments. Auction rate securities are securities that have stated maturities beyond three months, but are priced and traded as short-term investments due to the liquidity provided through the auction mechanism that generally resets interest rates every 28 or 35 days. The change in classification resulted in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and corresponding increase in short-term marketable securities at each balance sheet date. In addition, we revised our statements of cash flows included in this Report onForm 10-K to reflect the purchases and sales of these securities as investing activities rather than as a component of cash and cash equivalents. This change in classification had no impact on our previously reported current assets, net income (loss), or cash flows from operations. We held no auction rate securities at December 31, 2005.
The impact of the revision to the classification of our investments in auction rate securities on previously reported amounts for cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities for the three month, six month, and nine month

Cash Used in Operations:
 
At December 31, 2005,2006, we had $316.7$522.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities compared with $348.9$316.7 million at December 31, 2004.2005. In January 2006, we received a $25.0 million up-front payment from sanofi-aventis, which was receivable at December 31, 2005, in connection with an amendment to our collaboration agreement to include Japan. In January 2005,October 2006, we received two $25.0a $75.0 million payments from sanofi-aventis. Oneup-front payment was related to ain connection with our new VEGF Trap clinical milestone that was earned in 2004. The second payment related to changes to ourTrap-Eye license and collaboration agreement with sanofi-aventis that were made in January 2005.Bayer. In November 2006, we completed a public offering of 7.6 million shares of our Common Stock and received proceeds, after expenses, of $174.6 million.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Operations:
 
Net cash provided by operations was $23.1 million in 2006, compared to net cash used in operations wasof $30.3 million in 2005 compared to $16.92005. Our net losses of $102.3 million in 2004. In 2005, our net loss of2006 and $95.4 million in 2005 included $18.7 million and $21.9 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based employee compensation costs, of which $18.4 million and $19.9 million, representsrespectively, represented Stock Option Expense resulting from ourthe adoption of SFAS 123R in January 2006 and SFAS 123 in January 2005. Our deferred revenueIn 2006,end-of-year accounts receivable balances increaseddecreased by $14.5$29.0 million in 2005 compared to 2004,2005, due primarily to the January 2006 receipt of the $25.0 million up-front payment from sanofi-aventis, (asas described above), which was receivable at December 31,above, and lower amounts due from sanofi aventis for reimbursement of VEGF Trap development expenses. Also, our deferred revenue balances increased by $60.8 million in 2006 compared to 2005, due primarily to the October 2006 $75.0 million up-front payment from Bayer, as described above, partly offset by 20052006 revenue recognition of $9.5$11.4 million from deferred sanofi-aventis up-front payments. In addition,2005,end-of-year accounts receivable balances decreased by $6.6 million in 2005 compared to 2004, due to lower amounts due from sanofi-aventis for reimbursement of VEGF Trap development expenses and the June 2005 completion of funding for Regeneron research activities under our collaboration with Procter & Gamble. In 2004,Also, our net income of $41.7 million included (i) the March 2004 forgiveness of all outstanding loans from Novartis in an amount, including accrued interest, of $17.8 million, which we recognized as a research progress payment and (ii)deferred revenue recognition of (a) $10.5 million from the deferred $80.0 million up-front payment received from sanofi-aventis in September 2003 and (b) $22.1 million which represents the remaining deferred balance of the $27.0 million up-front payment received from Novartis in March 2003.

The majority of cash used in our operations in both 20052006 and 20042005 was to fund research and development, primarily related to our clinical programs.
 
In connection with our collaboration agreement with sanofi-aventis to jointly developboth 2006 and commercialize the VEGF Trap, we have received up-front payments of $80.0 million in September 2003 and $25.0 million in January 2006 (which was receivable at December 31, 2005). Both up-front payments were recorded to deferred revenue and are being recognized as contract research and development revenue ratably over the period during which we expect to perform services. In 2005, and 2004, we recognized $9.5 million and $10.5 million of revenue, respectively, related to these up-front payments and we anticipate, based on current VEGF Trap product development plans, that we will recognize approximately $12.2 million of revenue over each of the next 6 years and approximately $2.8 million for the subsequent 3 years. Under the collaboration agreement, agreed upon worldwide development expenses incurred by both companies under the agreement will be funded by sanofi-aventis. Sanofi-aventis funded $43.4 million, $67.8 million, and $10.7 million, respectively, of our VEGF Trap development costs in 2005, 2004, and 2003, of which $10.5 million, $13.9 million, and $8.9 million, respectively, were included in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003.
In both 2005 and 2004, we made two semi-annual interest payments totaling $11.0 million per year on our convertible senior subordinated notes.
 
Cash Provided by Investing Activities:
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $155.1 million in 2006 compared to net cash provided by investing activities increased toof $115.5 million in 2005, from $10.2 million in 2004, due primarily to an increase in sales or maturitiespurchases of marketable securities net of purchases.sales or maturities. In 2006, purchases of marketable securities exceeded sales or maturities by $150.7 million, whereas in 2005, sales or maturities of marketable securities exceeded purchases by $120.5 million, whereas in 2004, sales or maturities of marketable securities exceeded purchases by $16.4 million.
 
Cash Provided by Financing Activities:
 
Cash provided by financing activities decreasedincreased to $185.4 million in 2006 from $4.1 million in 2005 from $4.4due primarily to our completed public offering of 7.6 million shares of Common Stock in 2004.November 2006, as described above. In 2005, cash provided by financing activities resultedaddition, proceeds from issuances of Common Stock in connection with exercises of employee stock options. In 2004, cash provided by financing activities related primarilyoptions increased from $4.1 million in 2005 to 2004 borrowings under a loan from Novartis. In accordance with our collaboration agreement with Novartis, we elected to fund our share of 2003 IL-1 Trap development expenses through a loan that was forgiven by Novartis$10.4 million in March 2004, as described above. In the first quarter of 2004, we drew $3.8 million, excluding interest, against this loan facility for expenses incurred during 2003.2006.
 
Collaboration with the sanofi-aventis Group:
 
Under our collaboration agreement with sanofi-aventis, as described under “Collaborations” above, agreed upon worldwide VEGF Trap development expenses incurred by both companies during the term of the agreement, including costs associated with the manufacture of clinical drug supply, will be funded by sanofi-aventis. If the collaboration becomes profitable, we will be obligated to reimburse sanofi-aventis for 50% of these development expenses, including 50% of the $25.0 million payment received in connection with the January 2005 amendment to our collaboration agreement, in accordance with a formula based on the amount of development expenses and our share of the collaboration profits and Japan royalties, or at a faster rate at our option. In addition, if the first commercial sale of a VEGF Trap product for intraocular delivery to the eye predates the first commercial sale of a VEGF Trap product under the collaboration by two years, we will begin reimbursing sanofi-aventis for up to $7.5 million of VEGF Trap development expenses in accordance with a formula until the first commercial VEGF Trap sale under the collaboration occurs. Since inception of the collaboration agreement through December 31, 2005,2006, we and sanofi-aventis have incurred $130.5$205.0 million in agreed upon development expenses related to the VEGF Trap program. We and sanofi-aventis plan to initiate in 20062007 multiple additional clinical studies to evaluate the VEGF Trap as both a single agent and in combination with other therapies in various cancer indications.


38


Sanofi-aventis funded $47.8 million, $43.4 million, and $67.8 million, respectively, of our VEGF Trap development costs in 2006, 2005, and 2004, of which $6.8 million, $10.5 million, and $13.9 million, respectively, were included in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004. In addition, we have received up-front payments of $80.0 million in September 2003 and $25.0 million in January 2006 from sanofi-aventis in connection with our collaboration. Both up-front payments were recorded to deferred revenue and are being recognized as contract research and development revenue ratably over the period during which we expect to perform services. In 2006 and 2005, we recognized $11.4 million and $9.5 million of revenue, respectively, related to these up-front payments.
Sanofi-aventis has the right to terminate the agreement without cause with at least twelve months advance notice. Upon termination of the agreement for any reason, any remaining obligation to reimburse sanofi-aventis for 50% of the VEGF Trap development expenses will terminate and we will retain all rights to the VEGF Trap.


42


Collaboration with Bayer Healthcare:
Under our collaboration agreement with Bayer, as described under “Collaborations” above, agreed upon VEGF Trap-Eye development expenses incurred by both companies, beginning in 2007, under a global development plan, will be shared as follows:
2007: Up to $50.0 million shared equally; we are solely responsible for up to the next $40.0 million; over $90.0 million shared equally.
2008: Up to $70.0 million shared equally, we are solely responsible for up to the next $30.0 million; over $100.0 million shared equally.
2009 and thereafter: All expenses shared equally.
Neither party will be reimbursed for any development expenses that it incurred prior to 2007.
We are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply clinical and commercial product requirements.
If the VEGF Trap-Eye is granted marketing authorization in a major market country outside the United States and the collaboration becomes profitable, we will be obligated to reimburse Bayer out of our share of the collaboration profits for 50% of the agreed upon development expenses that Bayer has incurred in accordance with a formula based on the amount of development expenses that Bayer has incurred and our share of the collaboration profits, or at a faster rate at our option. In wet AMD, we and Bayer plan in 2007 to complete our Phase 2 clinical study of the VEGF Trap-Eye currently in progress and to initiate the Phase 3 clinical program.
In October 2006, we received a $75.0 million up-front payment from Bayer in connection with our collaboration, which was recorded to deferred revenue. When we and Bayer have formalized our projected global development plans for the VEGF Trap-Eye, as well as the projected responsibilities of each of the companies under those development plans, we will begin recognizing revenue related to payments from Bayer.
Bayer has the right to terminate the agreement without cause with at least six months or twelve months advance notice depending on defined circumstances at the time of termination. In the event of termination of the agreement for any reason, we retain all rights to the VEGF Trap-Eye.
National Institutes of Health Grant:
Under our five-year grant from the NIH, as described under “Other Agreements” above, we will be entitled to receive a minimum of $17.9 million over a five-year period, subject to compliance with the grant’s terms and annual funding approvals, and another $1.0 million to optimize our existing C57BL/6 ES cell line and its proprietary growth medium. In 2006, we recognized $0.5 million of revenue related to the NIH Grant, which was receivable at the end of 2006. In 2007, we expect to receive funding of approximately $5 million for reimbursement of Regeneron expenses related to the NIH Grant.
License Agreement with AstraZeneca:
Under our non-exclusive license agreement with AstraZeneca, as described under “Other Agreements” above, AstraZeneca made a $20.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to us in February 2007. AstraZeneca also will make up to five additional annual payments of $20.0 million, subject to its ability to terminate the agreement after making the first three additional payments or if the technology does not meet minimum performance criteria.
 
Severance Costs:
 
In September 2005, we announced plans to reduce our workforce by approximately 165 employees in connection with narrowing the focus of our research and development efforts, substantial improvements in manufacturing productivity, the JuneSeptember 2005 expiration of our collaboration with Procter & Gamble, and the expected completion of contract manufacturing for Merck in late 2006. The majority of the headcount reduction occurred in the fourth quarter of 2005, with the remainder planned for2005. The remaining headcount reductions occurred in 2006 following the completion of ouras we completed activities related to contract manufacturing activities for Merck.


43


 
Costs associated with the workforce reduction arewere comprised principally of severance payments and related payroll taxes, employee benefits, and outplacement services. Termination costs related to 2005 workforce reductions were expensed in the fourth quarter of 2005, and included $0.2 million of non-cash expenses due to the accelerated vesting of certain stock options and restricted stock held by affected employees.expenses. Estimated termination costs associated with the planned workforce reduction in 2006 were measured in October 2005 and are being expensed ratably over the expected service period of the affected employees in accordance with SFAS 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. We estimate that totalTotal costs associated with the 2005 and planned 2006 workforce reductions will approximate $2.7were $2.6 million, of which $2.2 million was charged to expense in the fourth quarter of 2005 and approximately $0.5$0.4 million will be recognized aswas charged to expense in 2006. We anticipate cost savings of approximately $8 million in 2006 resulting from the implementation of our workforce reduction plans.
 
Convertible Debt:
 
In 2001, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior subordinated notes in a private placement and received proceeds, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and out-of pocket expenses, of $192.7 million. The notes bear interest at 5.5% per annum, payable semi-annually, and mature in 2008. The notes are convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of approximately $30.25 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. We may redeem some or all of the notes if the closing price of our Common Stock has exceeded 140% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time.
 
As partNew Operating Lease — Tarrytown, New York Facilities
In December 2006, we entered into a new operating lease agreement for approximately 221,000 square feet of this transaction,laboratory and office space at our current Tarrytown location. The new lease includes approximately 27,000 square feet that we pledged $31.6 million of U.S. government securitiescurrently occupy (our retained facilities) and approximately 194,000 square feet to be located in new facilities that will be constructed and which was sufficient upon receipt of scheduled principal and interest paymentsare expected to provide for the paymentbe completed in fullearly-2009. The term of the first six scheduled interestlease is expected to commence in early 2008 and will expire approximately 16 years later. Under the new lease we also have various options and rights on additional space at the Tarrytown site, and will continue to lease our present facilities until the new facilities are ready for occupancy. In addition, the lease contains three renewal options to extend the term of the lease by five years each and early termination options for our retained facilities only. The lease provides for monthly payments onover the notes when due,term of the lastlease related to our retained facilities, the costs of construction and tenant improvements for our new facilities, and additional charges for utilities, taxes, and operating expenses.
In connection with the new lease agreement, in December 2006, we issued a letter of credit in the amount of $1.6 million to our landlord, which was paid in October 2004.is collateralized by a $1.6 million bank certificate of deposit.
 
Capital Expenditures:
 
Our additions to property, plant, and equipment totaled $3.3 million in 2006, $4.7 million in 2005, and $6.0 million in 2004, and $16.9 million in 2003.2004. In 2006,2007, we expect to incur approximately $5 to $7$15 million in capital expenditures which primarily consists of equipment forto support our manufacturing, development, and research activities.
 
Funding Requirements:
 
Our total expenses for research and development from inception through December 31, 20052006 have been approximately $1,013$1,150 million. We have entered into various agreements related to our activities to develop and commercialize product candidates and utilize our technology platforms, including collaboration agreements, such as those with sanofi-aventis Novartis, and Procter & Gamble,Bayer, and agreements to use our Velocigenetm® technology platform, such as our agreement with Serono S.A.platform. We incurred expenses associated with these agreements, which include an allocable portion of general and administrative costs, of $43.4 million, $42.2 million, and $75.3 million in 2006, 2005, and $56.0 million in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
 
We expect to continue to incur substantial funding requirements primarily for research and development activities (including preclinical and clinical testing). WeBefore taking into account reimbursements from collaborators, we currently anticipate that approximately 55%-65% of our expenditures for 20062007 will be directed toward the preclinical and clinical development of product candidates,


39


including the IL-1 Trap, VEGF Trap, VEGF Trap-Eye, and IL-1 Trap;monoclonal antibodies; approximately 20%15%-25% of our expenditures for 20062007 will be applied to our basic research activities and the continued development of our novel technology platforms; and the remainder of our expenditures for 20062007 will be used for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.

(1)Includes amounts representing interest.
 
(2)Includes projected obligations based, in part, upon budgeted construction and tenant improvement costs related to our new operating lease for facilities to be constructed in Tarrytown, New York, as described above. Excludes future contingent rental costs for utilities, real estate taxes, and operating expenses. In 2005,2006, these costs were $9.5$8.7 million.
 
In connection with certain clinical trial contracts with service providers, we may incur early termination penalties if the contracts are cancelled beforeagreed-upon services are completed.
 
The amount we need to fund operations will depend on various factors, including the status of competitive products, the success of our research and development programs, the potential future need to expand our professional and support staff and facilities, the status of patents and other intellectual property rights, the delay or failure of a clinical trial of any of our potential drug candidates, and the continuation, extent, and success of our collaborationcollaborations with sanofi-aventis.sanofi-aventis and Bayer. Clinical trial costs are dependent, among other things, on the size and duration of trials, fees charged for services provided by clinical trial investigators and other third parties, the costs for manufacturing the product candidate for use in the trials, supplies, laboratory tests, and other expenses. The amount of funding that will be required for our clinical programs depends upon the results of our research and preclinical programs and early-stage clinical trials, regulatory requirements, the duration and results of clinical trials underway plusand of additional clinical trials that we decide to initiate, and the various factors that affect the cost of each trial as described above. In the future, if we are able to successfully develop, market, and sell certain of our product candidates, we may be required to pay royalties or otherwise share the profits generated on such sales in connection with our collaboration and licensing agreements.
 
We expect that expenses related to the filing, prosecution, defense, and enforcement of patent and other intellectual property claims will continue to be substantial as a result of patent filings and prosecutions in the United States and foreign countries.
 
We believe that our existing capital resources will enable us to meet operating needs through at least mid-2008.early 2010, without taking into consideration the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior subordinated notes, which mature in October 2008. However, this is a forward-looking statement based on our current operating plan, and there may be a change in projected revenues or expenses that would lead to our capital being consumed significantly before such time. If there is insufficient capital to fund all of our planned operations and activities, we believe we would prioritize available capital to fund preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates. WeOther than the $1.6 million letter of credit issued to our landlord in connection with our new operating lease for facilities in Tarrytown, New York, as described above, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements andarrangements. In addition, we do not guarantee the obligations of any other entity. As of December 31, 2005,2006, we had no established banking arrangements through which we could obtain short-term financing or a line of credit. In the event we need additional financing for the operation of our business, we will consider collaborative arrangements and additional public or private financing, including additional equity financing. In January 2005, we filed a shelf registration statement onForm S-3 to sell, in one or more offerings, up to $200.0 million of equity or debt securities, together or separately, which registration statement was declared effective in February 2005. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to complete any such offerings of securities. Factors influencing the availability of additional financing include our progress in product development, investor perception of our prospects, and the general condition of the financial markets. We may not be able to secure the necessary funding through new collaborative arrangements or additional public or private offerings. If we cannot raise adequate funds to satisfy our


45


capital requirements, we may have to delay, scale-back, or eliminate certain of our research and development activities or future operations. This could materially harm our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
 
Revenue Recognition:
 
We recognize revenue from contract research and development and research progress payments in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition(SAB 104) and Emerging Issues Task Force00-21,Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables(EITF00-21). During the third quarterWe earn contract research and development revenue and research progress payments in connection with collaboration and other agreements to develop and commercialize product candidates and utilize our technology platforms. The terms of 2003, we elected to change the method we use to recognize revenue under SAB 104 related tothese agreements typically include non-refundable collaborator payments, including up-front licensing payments, payments for development activities, and research progress (milestone) payments, to the Substantive Milestone Method, adopted retroactively to January 1, 2003. Under this method,and payments for non-refundabledevelopment activities. Non-refundable up-front license payments, thatwhere continuing involvement is required of us, are not tied to achieving a specific performance milestone or for which an estimated level of required effort is not available, we recognize revenue ratablydeferred and recognized over the estimatedrelated performance period. We estimate our performance period of time during which we expect to perform services under the agreement based on researchthe specific terms of each agreement, and development plans. These estimated timeadjust the performance periods, if appropriate, based on the applicable facts and circumstances. Our performance period estimates are updatedprincipally based on the results and progress of our research and development activities and revisions to these estimates could result in changes to the amount of revenue recognized each year in the future. In addition, if a collaborator terminates the agreement in accordance with the terms of the contract, we would recognize the remainder of the up-front payment at the time of the termination. Payments for development activities are recognized as revenue as earned, over the period of effort. Payments which are based on achieving a specific substantive performance milestone, involving a degree of risk, are recognized as revenue when the milestone is achieved and the related payment is due and non-refundable, provided there is no future service obligation associated with that milestone, a reasonable amount of time has passed between receipt of an up-front payment and achievement of the milestone, and the amount of the milestone payment is reasonable in relation to the effort, value, and risk associated with achieving the milestone. Previously,Payments for achieving milestones which are not considered substantive are accounted for as license payments and recognized over the related performance period. Payments for development activities are recognized as revenue as earned, over the period of effort. In addition, we had recognizedrecord revenue from non-refundable collaborator payments based on the percentage of costs incurred to date, estimated costs to complete, and total expected contract revenue. However, the revenue recognized was limited to the amount of non-refundable payments received. The change in accounting method was made because we believe that it better reflects the substance of our collaborative agreements and is more consistent with current practices in the biotechnology industry.
In connection with our VEGF Trap collaboration agreement with sanofi-aventis, we received non-refundable up-front payments of $80.0 million in September 2003 at the collaboration’s inception and $25.0 million in January 2006 in connection with the December 2005 amendmenta government research grant as we incur expenses related to the collaboration agreementgrant, subject to include Japan. These up-front payments were recorded to deferred revenuethe grant’s terms and are being recognized as contract research and development revenue over the period over which we are obligated to perform services. Also, in connection with our collaboration agreement with Novartis, in the first quarter of 2004, Novartis provided notice of its intention not to proceed with the joint development of the IL-1 Trap. Accordingly, the remaining balance of the $27.0 million up-front payment, or $22.1 million, was recognized as contract research and development revenue.annual funding approvals.
 
Recognition of Deferred Revenue Related to Contract Manufacturing Agreement:
 
We have entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Merck, which expired in October 2006, under which we manufacturemanufactured a vaccine intermediate at our Rensselaer, New York facility and performperformed services. We recognizerecognized contract manufacturing revenue from this agreement after the product iswas tested and approved by, and shipped (FOB Shipping Point) to, Merck, and as services arewere performed. In connection with the agreement, we agreed to modify portions of our Rensselaer facility to manufacture Merck’s vaccine intermediate and Merck agreed to reimburse us for the related capital costs. These capital cost payments were deferred and are recognized as revenue as product iswas shipped to Merck, based upon our estimate of Merck’s order quantities each year through the expected end of the agreement which, for 2004 and prior years, was October 2005. In February 2005, we agreed to extend the manufacturing agreement by one year through October 2006. Since we commenced production of the vaccine intermediate in November 1999, our estimates of Merck’s order quantities each year havewere not been materially different from Merck’s actual orders.
 
In February 2005, we agreed to extend the manufacturing agreement by one year through October 2006. As a result, in 2005 we began recognizing the remaining deferred balance of Merck’s capital improvement reimbursements as of December 31, 2004, which totaled $2.7 million, as revenue as product is shipped to Merck, based upon Merck’s order quantities through October 2006.


41


Clinical Trial Accrual Estimates:
 
For each clinical trial that we conduct, certain clinical trial costs, which are included in research and development expenses, are expensed based on the expected total number of patients in the trial, the rate at which patients enter the trial, and the period over which clinical investigators or contract research organizations are expected to provide services. We believe that this method best aligns the expenses we record with the efforts we expend on a clinical trial. During the course of a trial, we adjust our rate of clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from our estimates. No material adjustments to our past clinical trial accrual estimates were made during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003.2004.


46


 
Depreciation of Property, Plant, and Equipment:
 
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in operations. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:
 
   
Building and improvements 7-30 years
Laboratory and computer equipment 3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of construction of certain long-lived assets include capitalized interest which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset.
 
In some situations, the life of the asset may be extended or shortened if circumstances arise that would lead us to believe that the estimated life of the asset has changed. The life of leasehold improvements may change based on the extension of lease contracts with our landlords. Changes in the estimated lives of assets will result in an increase or decrease in the amount of depreciation recognized in future periods.
 
Stock-based Employee Compensation:
 
Effective January 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, using the modified prospective method as described in SFAS 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.As a result, effective January 1,in 2005, we have been recognizingrecognized compensation expense, in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments (including stock option awards) on their date of grant, over the vesting period of the awards.awards using graded vesting, which is an accelerated expense recognition method. Under the modified prospective method, we recognize compensation expense for Regeneron is recognized for (a) all share based payments granted on or after January 1, 2005 (including replacement options granted under our stock option exchange program which concluded on January 5, 2005) and (b) all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2005 that were unvested on that date. Prior to the adoption of the fair value method, we accounted for stock-based compensation to employees under the intrinsic value method of accounting set forth in APB 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Therefore, compensation expense related to employee stock options was not reflected in operating expenses in any period prior to the first quarter of 2005 and prior period operating results have not been restated.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R,Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, and requires the recognition of compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment (including stock options and restricted stock) issued to employees. SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited at the time of grant and to revise this estimate, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Effective January 1, 2005, and prior to our adoption of SFAS 123R, we recognized the effect of forfeitures in stock-based compensation cost in the period when they occurred, in accordance with SFAS 123. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006, we were required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to reflect the effect of estimated forfeitures related to outstanding awards that are not expected to vest as of the SFAS 123R adoption date. This adjustment reduced our loss by $0.8 million and is included in our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2006 as a cumulative-effect adjustment of a change in accounting principle.
 
We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of each option granted under the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to (i) expected volatility of our Common Stock price, (ii) the periods of time over which employees and members of our board of directors are expected to hold their options prior to exercise (expected lives), (iii) expected dividend yield on our Common Stock, and (iv) risk-free interest rates, which are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates for securities with maturities approximating the options’ expected lives. Expected volatility which is re-evaluated at least quarterly, has been estimated based on actual movements in our stock price over the most recent historical


47


periods equivalent to the options’ expected lives. Expected lives are principally based on our limited historical exercise experience with option grants with similar exercise prices. The


42


expected dividend yield is zero as we have never paid dividends and do not currently anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future.
 
Future Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In December 2004,July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123R,Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS 123,FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationUncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.(which we adopted effective January 1, 2005), and supersedes APB 25,This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109,Accounting for Stock IssuedIncome Taxes.FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to Employees,be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R focuses primarily onpenalties, accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions,interim periods, disclosure, and requires the recognition of compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment (including stock options and restricted stock) issued to employees. SFAS 123Rtransition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after JuneDecember 15, 2005. In March 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) which expresses views of the SEC staff regarding the application of SFAS 123R. Among other things, SAB 107 provides interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations as well as the SEC staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies.2006. We arewill be required to adopt SFAS 123RFIN 48 effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006, and intend to do so using the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on (a) the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. In addition, we will consider the guidance of SAB 107 as we adopt SFAS 123R. Although the impact of adopting SFAS 123R has not yet been quantified,2007. Our management believes that the adoption of this standard maywill not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In May 2005,September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 154,157,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.Fair Value Measurements SFAS 154 replaces APB 20,Accounting Changes, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and SFAS 3,Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and requires retrospective application to prior-period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of a change. SFAS 154 also redefines “restatement” as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We arewill be required to adopt SFAS 157 effective for the provisions of SFAS 154, as applicable,fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006.2008. Our management is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our financial statements.
 
Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates primarily from our investment of available cash balances in investment grade corporate, asset-backed, and U.S. government securities. We do not believe we are materially exposed to changes in interest rates. Under our current policies we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. We estimated that a one percent change in interest rates would result in changes in the fair market value of our investment portfolio of approximately $0.5$1.7 million and $1.4$0.5 million at December 31, 20052006 and 2004,2005, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the impact of an interest rate change at December 31, 2005,2006, compared to December 31, 2004,2005, is due primarily to the shorter duration ofincreases in our investment portfolioportfolio’s balance and duration to maturity at the end of 2006 versus the end of 2005.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined inRules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( the(the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report onForm 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer each concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the framework inInternal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2005.2006. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued a report on management’s assessment and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005,2006, which report is included herein atpage F-2.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 20052006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and cannot detect all deviations. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or deviations, if any, within the company have been detected. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:
 
We have completed integrated audits of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s 2005 and 2004 financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and an audit of its 2003 financial statements2006 in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.
 
Financial statements
 
In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at December 31, 20052006 and 2004,2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20052006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its method of accounting for share-based payment, to conform with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-based Payment.” On January 1, 2005, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, to conform with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.”
Internal control over financial reporting
 
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20052006 based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20052006 based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.


F-2


 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company


F-2


are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)
 
1.  Organization and Business
 
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “Regeneron”) was incorporated in January 1988 in the State of New York. The Company is engaged in research and development programs to discover and commercialize therapeutics to treat human disorders and conditions. The Company’s facilities are located in New York. The Company’s business is subject to certain risks including, but not limited to, uncertainties relating to conducting pharmaceutical research, obtaining regulatory approvals, commercializing products, and obtaining and enforcing patents.
 
2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in operations. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:
Building and improvements7-30 years
Laboratory and computer equipment3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures5 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of construction of certain long-lived assets include capitalized interest which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset. The Company capitalized interest costs of $0.3 million in 2003. The Company did not capitalize any interest costs in 2004 or 2005.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows and the balance sheet, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined based on standards that approximate thefirst-in, first-out method. Inventories are shown net of applicable reserves.
 
Revenue RecognitionProperty, Plant, and Change in Accounting PrincipleEquipment
 
a.  Contract ResearchProperty, plant, and Development and Research Progress Payments
The Company recognizes revenue from contract research and development and research progress payments in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition(“SAB 104”) and FASB Emerging Issue Task Force IssueNo. 00-21,Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables(“EITF 00-21”). SAB 104 superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statement(“SAB 101”), in December 2003. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company elected to change the method it uses to recognize revenue under SAB 101 related to non-refundable collaborator payments, including up-front licensing payments, payments for development activities, and research progress (milestone) payments, to the Substantive Milestone Method, adopted retroactively to January 1, 2003. There was no cumulative effect of this change in accounting

principleequipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on prior periods. Under this method, for non-refundable up-front license payments that are not tied to achieving a specific performance milestone or for which an estimated level of required effort is not available, we recognize revenue ratablystraight-line basis over the estimated perioduseful lives of time duringthe assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which we expectdo not materially extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to perform services underexpense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the agreement based on researchrespective accounts, and development plans. Payments for development activitiesany gain or loss is recognized in operations. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are recognized as revenue as earned,follows:
Building and improvements7-30 years
Laboratory and computer equipment3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures5 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the periodshorter of effort. Paymentsthe lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of construction of certain long-lived assets include capitalized interest which are based on achieving a specific substantive performance milestone, involving a degreeis amortized over the estimated useful life of risk, are recognized as revenue when the milestone is achieved and the related payment is due and non-refundable, provided there is no future service obligation associated with that milestone, a reasonable amount of time has passed between receipt of an up-front payment and achievement of the milestone, and the amount of the milestone payment is reasonable in relation to the effort, value, and risk associated with achieving the milestone. The change in accounting method was made because the Company believes that it better reflects the substance of the Company’s collaborative agreements and is more consistent with current practices in the biotechnology industry.
Previously, the Company had recognized revenue from non-refundable collaborator payments based on the percentage of costs incurred to date, estimated costs to complete, and total expected contract revenue. However, the revenue recognized was limited to the amount of non-refundable payments received. This accounting method was adopted on January 1, 2000 upon the release of SAB 101. The cumulative effect of adopting SAB 101 at January 1, 2000 amounted to $1.6 million of additional loss, with a corresponding increase to deferred revenue that was recognized in subsequent periods, of which $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was included in contract research and development revenue in 2004 and 2003. The $1.6 million represented a portion of a 1989 payment received from Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd. in consideration for a fifteen year limited right of first negotiation to license up to three of the Company’s product candidates in Japan that expired in 2004 (see Note 12d). The effect of income taxes on the cumulative effect adjustment was immaterial.
b.  Contract Manufacturing
The Company has entered into a contract manufacturing agreement under which it manufactures product and performs services for a third party. Contract manufacturing revenue is recognized as product is shipped and as services are performed (see Note 13).
Investment Income
Interest income, which is included in investment income, is recognized as earned.asset.
 
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. For all periods presented, no impairment losses were recorded.
 
Patents
 
As a result of the Company’s research and development efforts, itthe Company has obtained, applied for, or is applying for, a number of patents to protect proprietary technology and inventions. All costs associated with patents are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition
 

a. Contract Research and Development and Research Progress Payments
The Company recognizes revenue from contract research and development and research progress payments in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition(“SAB 104”) and FASB Emerging Issue Task Force IssueNo. 00-21,Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (“EITF00-21”). Contract research and development revenue and research progress payments are earned by the Company in connection with collaboration and other agreements to develop and commercialize product candidates and utilize the Company’s technology platforms. The terms of these agreements typically include non-refundable up-front licensing payments, research progress (milestone) payments, and payments for development activities. Non-refundable up-front license payments, where continuing involvement is required of the Company, are deferred and recognized over the related performance period. The Company estimates its performance period based on the specific terms of each agreement, and adjusts the performance periods, if appropriate, based on the applicable facts and circumstances. Payments which are based on achieving a specific substantive performance milestone, involving a degree of risk, are recognized as revenue when the milestone is achieved and the related payment is due and non-refundable, provided there is no future service obligation associated with that milestone, a reasonable amount of time has passed between receipt of an up-front payment and achievement of the milestone, and the amount of the milestone payment is reasonable in relation to the effort, value, and risk associated with achieving the milestone. Payments for achieving milestones which are not considered substantive are accounted for as license payments and recognized over the related performance period. Payments for development activities are recognized as revenue as earned, over the period of effort. In addition, we record revenue in connection with a government research grant as we incur expenses related to the grant, subject to the grant’s terms and annual funding approvals.
b. Contract Manufacturing
The Company manufactured product and performed services for a third party under a contract manufacturing agreement which expired in October 2006. Contract manufacturing revenue was recognized as product was shipped and as services were performed (see Note 13).
Investment Income
Interest income, which is included in investment income, is recognized as earned.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, supplies, depreciation on and maintenance of research equipment, costs related to research collaboration and licensing agreements (see Note 11e)11d), the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services related to the Company’s clinical trials, clinical trial expenses, the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research, preclinical development, and clinical trials, expenses related to the development of manufacturing processes prior to commencing commercial production of a product under contract manufacturing arrangements, and the allocable portions of facility costs, such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, depreciation, and general support services. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.
 
For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, certain clinical trial costs, which are included in research and development expenses, are expensed based on the expected total number of patients in the trial, the rate at which patients enter the trial, and the period over which clinical investigators or contract research organizations are

expected to provide services. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its rate of clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from the Company’s estimates.
 
Per Share Data
 
Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net income (loss) for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding during the period. The basic net income (loss) per share excludes restricted stock awards until vested. The diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2004 is based upon the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding, and theof common stock equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Common stock equivalents include: (i) outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plans, which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive, and (ii) Common Stock to be issued under the assumed conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible senior subordinated notes, which are included under the if-converted method when dilutive. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 20052006 and 20032005 does not include common stock equivalents, since such inclusion would be antidilutive. The computation of diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2004 includes dilutive common stock equivalents. Disclosures required by SFAS 128,Earnings per Share, have been included in Note 18.19.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain. See Note 16.17.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in net assets of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) of the Company includes net income (loss) adjusted for the change in net unrealized gain or loss on marketable securities. The net effect of income taxes on comprehensive income (loss) is immaterial. Comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2004 and comprehensive losses for the years ended December 31, 20052006 and 20032005 have been included in the Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and receivables from the sanofi-aventis Group and Merck & Co., Inc.Group. The Company generally invests its excess cash in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, bank deposits, asset-backed securities, investment grade debt securities issued by corporations, governments, and financial institutions, and money market funds that invest in these instruments. The Company has established guidelines that relate to credit quality, diversification, and maturity, and that limit exposure to any one issue of securities.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
Regeneron has had no sales of its products and there is no assurance that the Company’s research and development efforts will be successful, that the Company will ever have commercially approved products, or that the Company will achieve significant sales of any such products. The Company has generally incurred net losses

and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. Revenues to date have principally been limited to (i) payments from the Company’s collaborators and other entities for the Company’s development activities with respect to product candidates and to utilize the Company’s technology platforms, (ii) payments from two pharmaceutical companies for contract manufacturing, and (iii) investment income. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants, collaborators, and certain third-party suppliers, including single-source unaffiliated third-party suppliers of certain raw materials and equipment. Regeneron, as licensee, licenses certain technologies that are important to the Company’s business which impose various obligations on the Company. If Regeneron fails to comply with these requirements, licensors may have the right to terminate the Company’s licenses.
 
Contract research and development revenue in 20052006 was primarily earned from sanofi-aventis under a collaboration agreement (see Note 12a). The Company recognizes revenue from its collaboration with sanofi-aventis in accordance with SAB 104 and The Procter & Gamble Company under collaboration agreements (see Notes 12a and 12e).EITF00-21, as described above. Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, with sanofi-aventis, agreed upon VEGF Trap development expenses incurred by Regeneron during the term of the agreement will be funded by sanofi-aventis. In addition, the Company earns revenue related to non-refundable, up-front payments from sanofi-aventis under the Substantive Milestone Method in accordance with SAB 104, as described above.sanofi-aventis. The Company also may also receive up to $400.0 million in milestone payments upon receipt of specified VEGF Trap marketing approvals. Sanofi-aventis has the right to terminate the agreement without cause with at least twelve months advance notice. Under the collaboration agreement with Procter & Gamble, as amended, Procter & Gamble made payments to fund Regeneron research of $2.5 million per quarter, plus adjustments for inflation, through June 2005. As of June 30, 2005, the Company and Procter & Gamble agreed that the research activities of the parties under the collaboration agreement were completed. Contract manufacturing revenue in 2005 was earned from Merck under a long-term manufacturing agreement that will expire in October 2006 (see Note 13).
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include (i) useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, (ii) the periods over which certain revenues and expenses will be recognized including contract research and development revenue recognized from non-refundable up-front payments contract manufacturing revenue recognized from reimbursed deferred capital costs, and expense recognition of certain clinical trial costs which are included in research and development expenses, (iii) the extent to which deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset by a valuation allowance, and (iv) the fair value of stock options on their date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on assumptions with respect to (a) expected volatility of our Common Stock price, (b) the periods of time over which employees and members of the Company’s board of

directors are expected to hold their options prior to exercise (expected lives), (c) expected dividend yield on the Company’s Common Stock, and (d) risk-free interest rates, which are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates for securities with maturities approximating the options’ expected lives. In addition, in connection with the recognition of compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R,Share-Based Payment, as described below, the Company is required to estimate, at the time of grant, the number of stock option awards that are expected to be forfeited.
 
Stock-based Employee Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, using the modified prospective method as described in SFAS 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. As a result, effective January 1,in 2005, the Company has been recognizingrecognized compensation expense, in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments (including stock option awards) on their date of grant, over the vesting period of the awards.awards using graded vesting, which is an accelerated expense recognition method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation expense for the Company is recognized for (a) all share based payments granted on or after January 1, 2005 (including replacement options granted under the Company’s stock option exchange program which concluded on January 5, 2005 (see Note 14a)14)) and (b) all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2005 that were unvested on that date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R,Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, and requires the recognition of compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment (including stock options and restricted stock) issued to employees. SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate, at the time of grant, the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited and to revise this estimate, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Effective January 1, 2005, and prior to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized the effect of forfeitures in stock-based compensation cost in the period when they occurred, in accordance with SFAS 123. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006, the Company was required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to reflect the effect of estimated forfeitures related to outstanding awards that are not expected to vest as of the SFAS 123R adoption date. This adjustment reduced the Company’s loss by $0.8 million and is included in the Company’s operating results in 2006 as a cumulative-effect adjustment of a change in accounting principle.
Prior to the adoption of the fair value method, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation to employees under the intrinsic value method of accounting set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. (“APB”) 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Therefore, compensation expense related to employee stock options was not reflected in operating expenses in any period prior to the first quarter of 2005 and prior period results have not been restated. For the yearyears ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, $18.4 million and $19.9 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based employee compensation expense related to stock option awards (“Stock Option Expense”) totaled $20.0 million, of which $19.9 million was recognized in operating expenses andexpenses. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2005, $0.1 million of Stock Option Expense was capitalized in inventory. For the yearsyear ended December 31, 2004, and 2003 had the Company adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123, Stock Option Expense would have totaled $33.6 million and $42.5 million, respectively, and the effect on the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:
 
            
 2004 2003  2004

In 2003, the Company’s chief executive officer was granted permission by the board of directors to initiate a net cashless exercise of stock options. Upon completion of the net cashless exercise, the Company recognized $0.3 million of compensation expense, which equaled the excess of the fair market value of the shares over the option exercise price on the date that the board of directors granted its consent for the transaction.

Future Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In December 2004,July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123R,Share-Based Payment.SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS 123,FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(which we adopted effective January 1, 2005, as described above), and supersedes APB 25,Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No, 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Stock IssuedIncome Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to Employees,be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R focuses primarily onpenalties, accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions,interim periods, disclosure, and requires the recognition of compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment (including stock options and restricted stock) issued to employees. SFAS 123Rtransition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after JuneDecember 15, 2005. In March 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (’SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) which expresses views of the SEC staff regarding the application of SFAS 123R. Among other things, SAB 107 provides interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations as well as the SEC staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies.2006. The Company iswill be required to adopt SFAS 123RFIN 48 effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006, and intends to do so using the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on (a) the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. In addition, the Company will consider the guidance of SAB 107 as it adopts SFAS 123R. Although the impact of adopting SFAS 123R has not yet been quantified, management2007. Management believes that the adoption of this standard mayFIN 48 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2005,September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.SFAS 154 replaces APB 20,Accounting Changes157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and SFAS 3,Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and requires retrospective application to prior-period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of a change. SFAS 154 also redefines “restatement” as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after

The Company iswill be required to adopt SFAS 157 effective for the provisions of SFAS 154, as applicable,fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006.2008. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS 157 on the Company’s financial statements.
 
3.  Severance Costs
 
In September 2005, the Company announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 165 employees in connection with narrowing the focus of the Company’s research and development efforts, substantial improvements in manufacturing productivity, the June 2005 expiration of the Company’s collaboration with The Procter & Gamble Company, and the expected completion of contract manufacturing for Merck & Co., Inc. in late 2006. The majority of the headcount reduction occurred in the fourth quarter of 2005, with2005. The remaining headcount reductions occurred during 2006 as the remainder planned for 2006 following the completion of the Company’sCompany completed activities related to contract manufacturing activities for Merck.
 
Costs associated with the workforce reduction are comprised principally of severance payments and related payroll taxes, employee benefits, and outplacement services. Termination costs related to 2005 workforce reductions were expensed in the fourth quarter of 2005, and included non-cash expenses due to the accelerated vesting of certain stock options and restricted stock held by affected employees. Estimated termination costs associated with the planned workforce reduction in 2006 were measured in October 2005 and are beingwere expensed ratably over the expected service period of the affected employees in accordance with SFAS 146,Accounting for Costs

Auction rate securities are securities that have stated maturities beyond three months, but are priced and traded as short-term investments due to the liquidity provided through the auction mechanism that generally resets interest rates every 28 or 35 days. The change in classification resulted in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and corresponding increase in short-term marketable securities of $6.0 million at December 31, 2004. The Company held no auction rate securities at December 31, 2005. In addition, the Company revised its statements of cash flows to reflect the purchases and sales of these securities as investing activities rather than as a component of cash and cash equivalents, resulting in increases in cash flows from investing activities of $14.8 million and $14.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in corporate debt securities, U.S. government securities, and asset-backed securities were primarily caused by interest rate increases, which generally resulted in a decrease in the market value of the Company’s portfolio. Based upon the Company’s currently projected sources and uses of cash, the Company intends to hold these securities until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity. Therefore, the Company does not consider these marketable securities at December 31, 20052006 and 20042005 to beother-than-temporarily impaired.

The Company’s AmendedRestated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides for the issuance of up to 40 million shares of Class A Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 160 million shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. Shares of Class A Stock are convertible, at any time, at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock on ashare-for-share basis. Holders of Class A Stock have rights and privileges identical to Common Stockholders except that Class A Stockholders are entitled to ten votes per share, while Common Stockholders are entitled to one vote per share. Class A Stock may only be transferred to specified Permitted Transferees, as defined. TheUnder the Company’s boardRestated Certificate of directorsIncorporation, as amended, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized to issue up to 30 million shares of preferred stock, in series, with rights, privileges, and qualifications of each series determined by the Board.
During 1996, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan in which Rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one Right for each share of Common Stock and Class A Stock (collectively, “Stock”) held by shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 18, 1996. Each Right initially entitles the registered holder to buy a unit (“Unit”) consisting of one-one thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“A Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $120 per Unit (the “Purchase Price”). Initially the Rights were attached to all Stock certificates representing shares then outstanding, and no separate Rights certificates were distributed. The Rights will separate from the Stock and a “distribution date” will occur upon the earlier of (i) ten days after a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons, excluding certain defined persons, (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, or has obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Stock or (ii) ten business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 20% or more of such outstanding shares of Stock. The Rights are not exercisable unless a distribution date occurs and will expire at the close of business on October 18, 2006 unless earlier redeemed by the Company, subject to certain defined restrictions, for $.01 per Right. In the event that an Acquiring Person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the then outstanding shares of Stock (unless such acquisition is made pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for all outstanding shares of the Company, at a price determined by a majority of the independent directors of the Company who are not representatives, nominees, affiliates, or associates of an Acquiring Person to be fair and otherwise in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders after receiving advice from one or more investment banking firms), each Right (other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person) will entitle the holder to purchase, at the Right’s then current exercise price, common shares (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property, or other securities of the Company) having a value twice the Right’s Exercise Price. The Right’s Exercise Price is the Purchase Price times the number of shares of Common Stock associated with each Right (initially, one). Upon the occurrence of any such events, the Rights held by an Acquiring Person become null and void. In certain circumstances, a Right entitles the

(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)

holder to receive, upon exercise, shares of common stock of an acquiring company having a value equal to two times the Right’s Exercise Price.
As a result of the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Company’s Board designated 100,000 shares of preferred stock as A Preferred Stock. The A Preferred Stock has certain preferences, as defined.

In December 2005, the Company and sanofi-aventis amended the Aventis Agreement to expand the territory in which the companies are collaborating on the development of the VEGF Trap to include Japan. As a result, the collaboration now includes joint development of the VEGF Trap throughout the world in all indications, except for Intraocular Delivery. In connection with this amendment, sanofi-aventis agreed to make a $25.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to the Company, which was received in January 2006. Under the Aventis Agreement, as amended, the Company and sanofi-aventis will share co-promotion rights and profits on sales, if any, of the VEGF Trap outside of Japan, for disease indications included in the companies’ collaboration. The Company may also receive upis entitled to $40.0 million in milestone payments upon receipt of specified marketing approvals for up to five VEGF Trap

Revenue related to the Bayer Agreement will be recognized in accordance with SAB 104 and EITF00-21 (see Note 2). The $75.0 million up-front payment received in October 2006 was deferred upon receipt. When the Company and Bayer have formalized their projected global development plans for the VEGF Trap-Eye, as well as the projected responsibilities of each of the companies under such development plans, the Company will begin recognizing contract research and development revenue related to payments from Bayer. At December 31, 2006, there were no amounts receivable from Bayer, and deferred revenue was $75.0 million.
c.  Novartis Pharma AG
 
In March 2003, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Novartis Agreement”) with Novartis Pharma AG to jointly develop and commercialize the Company’s Interleukin-1 Cytokine Trap (“IL-1 Trap”). In connection with this agreement, Novartis made a non-refundable up-front payment to the Company of $27.0 million and purchased $48.0 million of newly issued unregistered shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)

at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate plus 2.5%, compounded quarterly. As of December 31, 2003, the 2003 Loan balance due Novartis, including accrued interest, totaled $13.8 million. In March 2004, Novartis forgave the 2003 Loan and accrued interest thereon, totaling $17.8 million, based on Regeneron’s achieving a pre-defined development milestone.
 
In February 2004, Novartis provided notice of its intention not to proceed with the joint development of theIL-1 Trap. In March 2004, Novartis agreed to pay the Company $42.75 million to satisfy its obligation to fund development costs for the IL-1 Trap for the nine month period following its notification and for the two months prior to that notice. The Company recorded the $42.75 million as other contract income in 2004. Regeneron and Novartis each retain rights under the collaboration agreement to elect to collaborate in the future on the development and commercialization of certain other IL-1 antagonists.
 
Revenue related to payments from Novartis was recognized under the Substantive Milestone Method (see Note 2) in accordance with SAB 104. The up-front payment of $27.0 million and reimbursement of Novartis’ share of Regeneron-incurred development expenses were recognized as contract research and development revenue. Forgiveness in 2004 of the 2003 Loan and accrued interest was recognized as a research progress payment. In 2003, the Company recognized $21.4 million of contract research and development revenue in connection with the Novartis Agreement. In 2004, the Company recognized contract research and development revenue of $22.1 million in connection with the Novartis Agreement, which represented the remaining amount of the $27.0 million up-front payment from Novartis that had previously been deferred. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no amounts receivable from Novartis and no deferred revenue.
c.  Amgen Inc.
In August 1990, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Amgen Agreement”) with Amgen Inc. to develop and attempt to commercialize two proprietary products (the “Products”). The Amgen Agreement, among other things, provided for Amgen and the Company to form a partnership (“Amgen-Regeneron Partners” or the “Partnership”) to complete the development and to commercialize the Products. Amgen and the Company held equal ownership interests in the Partnership. In November 2005, the Company and Amgen agreed to terminate the Amgen Agreement and Amgen-Regeneron Partners, as there were no ongoing activities to develop the Products, and in December 2005, the Company and Amgen each made capital withdrawals of $0.5 million from the Partnership. Neither party is entitled to receive royalties based on any products arising from the collaboration. The Company accounted for its investment in the Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting. In 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company recognized its shareaddition, forgiveness of the Partnership net income (loss)2003 Loan and accrued interest in the amounts of $10 thousand, $134 thousand, and ($63 thousand), respectively, which represents 50% of the total Partnership net income (loss). Selected financial data of the Partnership2004 was recognized as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 are not significant.
In July 2002, Amgen and Immunex Corporation (now part of Amgen) granted the Company a non-exclusive license to certain patents and patent applications which may be used in the development and commercialization of the IL-1 Trap. The license followed two other licensing arrangements under which Regeneron obtained a non-exclusive license to patents owned by ZymoGenetics, Inc. and Tularik Inc. for use in connection with the IL-1 Trap program. These license agreements would require the Company to pay royalties based on the net sales of the IL-1 Trap if and when it is approved for sale. In total, the royalty rate under these three agreements would be in the mid-single digits.
d.  Sumitomo Chemical Company, Ltd.
During 1989, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. entered into a Technology Development Agreement (“TDA”) with Regeneron and paid the Company $5.6 million. In consideration for this payment, Sumitomo Chemical

REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Committee, generally on a pro rata basis over a three to five year period. The Committee also determines the expiration date of each Option; however, no ISO is exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant.
 
Restricted Stock awards grant Participants shares of restricted Common Stock or allow Participants to purchase such shares at a price determined by the Committee. Such shares are nontransferable for a period determined by the Committee (“vesting period”). Should employment terminate, as defined by the 2000 Incentive Plan, the ownership of the Restricted Stock, which has not vested, will be transferred to the Company, except under defined circumstances with Committee approval, in consideration of amounts, if any, paid by the Participant to acquire such shares. In addition, if the Company requires a return of the Restricted Shares, it also has the right to require a return of all dividends paid on such shares.

F-26


REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)

equal to the sum of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date such share of Phantom Stock vests and the aggregate amount of cash dividends paid with respect to a share of Common Stock during the period from the grant date of the share of Phantom Stock to the date on which the share vests. Stock Bonus awards are bonuses payable in shares of Common Stock which are granted at the discretion of the Committee.
 
Other Awards are other forms of awards which are valued based on the Company’s Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of the 2000 Incentive Plan, the terms and provisions of such Other Awards are determined solely on the authority of the Committee.
 
During 1990, the Company established the 1990 Incentive Plan which, as amended, provided for a maximum of 6,900,000 shares of Common Stock in respect of awards. Employees of the Company, including officers, and nonemployees, including consultants and nonemployee members of the Company’s board of directors, received awards as determined by a committee of independent directors.

Awards under the 1990 Incentive Plan consisted of Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options which generally vest on a pro rata basis over a three or five year period and have a term of ten years.
 
The 1990 and 2000 Incentive Plans contain provisions that allow for the Committee to provide for the immediate vesting of awards upon a change in control of the Company, as defined.
 
As described in Note 2, effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value based method of accountingDecember 31, 2006, there were 4,132,249 shares available for stock-based employee compensationfuture grants under the provisions of SFAS 123 using the modified prospective method as described in SFAS 148. As a result, effective January 1, 2005, the Company has been recognizing expense, in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments (including stock option awards) on their date of grant, over the vesting period of the awards. Under the modified prospective method, compensation expense for the Company is recognized for (a) all share based payments granted on or after January 1, 2005, (including replacement options granted under the Company’s stock option exchange program which concluded on January 5, 2005) and (b) all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2005 that were unvested on that date. Prior to the adoption of the fair value method, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation to employees under the intrinsic value method of accounting set forth in APB 25 and related interpretations. Therefore, compensation expense related to employee stock options was not reflected in operating expenses in any period prior to the first quarter of 2005 and prior period results have not been restated. The effect on the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, had compensation costs for the2000 Incentive Plans been determined in accordance with the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation as prescribed by SFAS 123, is shown in Note 2.
Prior to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123, in accordance with APB 25 and related interpretations, the Company recorded compensation expense from issuances of employee Restricted Stock awards. When the terms of

Non-cash stock-based employee compensation expense recognized in operating expenses is provided in Note 2. As of December 31, 2006, there was $44.0 million of stock-based compensation cost related to outstanding nonvested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, which had not yet been recognized in operating expenses. The Company expects to recognize this compensation cost over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. In addition, there are 723,092 options which are unvested as of December 31, 2006 and would become vested upon the attainment of certain performance and service conditions. Potential compensation cost, measured on the grant date, related to these performance options totals $2.7 million and will begin to be recognized only if, and when, these options’ performance condition is considered to be probable of attainment.
Fair value Assumptions:
 
The fair value of each option granted under the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2000 Incentive Plan during 2006, 2005, 2004, and 20032004 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to (i) expected volatility of the Company’s Common Stock price, (ii) the periods of time over which employees and members of the Company’s board of directors are expected to hold their options prior to exercise (expected lives), (iii) expected dividend yield on the Company’s Common Stock, and (iv) risk-free interest rates, which are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates for securities with maturities approximating the options’ expected lives. Expected volatility which is re-evaluated at least quarterly, has been estimated based on actual movements in the Company’s stock price over the most recent historical periods equivalent to the options’ expected lives. Expected lives are principally based on the Company’s limited historical exercise experience with option grants with similar exercise prices. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has never paid dividends and does not currently anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. The following table summarizes the weighted average values of the assumptions used in computing the fair value of option grants during 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003.2004.
 
                        
 2005 2004 2003  2006 2005 2004 
Expected volatility  71%   80%   80%   67%   71%   80%

During 2004 and 2003, 105,052 and 219,367 shares, respectively, of Restricted Stock were awarded under the 2000 Incentive Plan. No shares of Restricted Stock were awarded in 2005. These shares are nontransferable with such restriction lapsing (i) for 2004 awards, with respect to 50% of the shares at nine months and eighteen months from date of grant and (ii) for 2003 awards, with respect to 25% of the shares every six months over the approximately two-year period from date of grant. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recorded unearned compensation within Stockholders’ Equity of $1.0 million and $2.9 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to these awards. This amount was based on the fair market value of shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant and will be expensed, on a pro rata basis, over the period that the restriction on these shares lapses. During 2005, 2004, and 2003, 4,601, 18,194, and 4,431 shares, respectively, of Restricted Stock were forfeited due to employee terminations. The Company reduced unearned compensation within Stockholders’ Equity by $0.1 million, $0.3 million, and $0.1 million in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively, related to these forfeited awards.
The Company recognized non-cash compensation expense from Restricted Stock awards of $1.9 million, $2.5 million, and $2.3 million in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. In addition, due to the adoption of SFAS 123

effective January 1, 2005 non-cash compensation expense related to stock option awards totaled $20.0 million in 2005, of which $19.9 million was recognized in operating expenses and $0.1 million was capitalized into inventory.
As of December 31, 2005, there were 6,684,884 shares available for future grants under the 2000 Incentive Plan.Stock Option Exchange:
 
In December 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option exchange program. Under the program, Company regular employees who work an average of 20 hours per week, other than the Company’s chairman and the Company’s president and chief executive officer, were provided the opportunity to make a one-time election to surrender options granted under the 1990 and 2000 Incentive Plans that had an exercise price of at least $18.00 and exchange them for replacement options granted under the 2000 Incentive Plan in accordance with the following exchange ratios:
 
     
  Exchange Ratio
 
  (Number of Eligible
 
  Options to be
 
  Surrendered and
 
  Cancelled for Each
 
Exercise Price of Eligible Options
 Replacement Option) 
 
$18.00 to $28.00  1.50 
$28.01 to $37.00  2.00 
$37.01 and up  3.00 
 
Participation in the stock option exchange program was voluntary, and non-employee directors, consultants, former employees, and retirees were not eligible to participate. The participation deadline for the program was January 5, 2005. Eligible employees elected to exchange options with a total of 3,665,819 underlying shares of Common Stock, and the Company issued 1,977,840 replacement options with an exercise price of $8.50 per share on January 5, 2005.
 
Each replacement option was completely unvested upon grant. Each replacement option granted to an employee other than our executive vice president and senior vice presidents will ordinarily become vested and exercisable with respect to one-fourth of the shares initially underlying such option on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date so that such replacement option will be fully vested and exercisable four years after it was granted. Each replacement option granted to our executive vice president and senior vice presidents will ordinarily vest with respect to all shares underlying such option if both (i) the Company’s products have achieved gross sales of at least $100 million during any consecutive twelve month period (either directly by the Company or through its licenses) and (ii) the specific seniorexecutive or executivesenior vice president has remained employed by the Company for at least three years from the date of grant. For all replacement options, the recipient’s vesting and exercise rights are contingent upon the recipient’srecipients continued employment through the applicable vesting date and subject to the other terms of the 2000 Incentive Plan and the applicable option award agreement. As is generally the case with respect to the option award agreements for options that were eligible for exchange pursuant to the stock option exchange program, the option award agreements for replacement options include provisions whereby the replacement options may be fully vested in connection with a “change“Change in control”Control” of the Company, as defined in the 2000 Incentive Plan.
 
Under the stock option exchange program, each replacement option has a term equal to the greater of (i) the remaining term of the surrendered option it replaces and (ii) six years from the date of grant of the replacement option. This was intended to ensure that the employees who participated in the stock option exchange program would not derive any additional benefit from an extended option term unless the surrendered option had a remaining term of less than six years.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recorded unearned compensation in Stockholders’ Equity related to grants of Restricted Stock awards. This amount was based on the fair market value of shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant and was expensed, on a pro rata basis, over the period that the restriction on these shares lapsed, which was approximately two years for grants issued in 2003 and 18 months for grants issued in 2004. In addition, unearned compensation in Stockholders’ Equity was reduced due to forfeitures of Restricted Stock resulting from employee terminations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, unearned compensation was included as a separate component of Stockholders’ Equity. Effective January 1, 2006, unearned compensation was combined with additional paid-in capital in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
In connection with grants of Restricted Stock awards, the Company recorded unearned compensation in Stockholders’ Equity of $1.0 million in 2004 and in connection with forfeitures of these awards, the Company reduced unearned compensation by $17 thousand, $0.1 million, and $0.3 million in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The Company recognized non-cash compensation expense from Restricted Stock awards of $0.3 million, $1.9 million, and $2.5 million in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, there were no unvested shares of restricted stock outstanding and all compensation expense related to these awards had been recognized.
15.  Executive Stock Purchase Plan
 
In 1989, the Company adopted an Executive Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) under which 1,027,500 shares of Class A Stock were reserved for restricted stock awards. The Plan provides for the compensation committee of the board of directors to award employees, directors, consultants, and other individuals (“Plan participants”) who render service to the Company the right to purchase Class A Stock at a price set by the compensation committee. The Plan provides for the vesting of shares as determined by the compensation committee and, should the Company’s relationship with a Plan participant terminate before all shares are vested, unvested shares will be repurchased by the Company at a price per share equal to the original amount paid by the Plan participant. During

(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1989 and 1990, a total of 983,254 shares were issued, all of which vested as of December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 2005,2006, there were 44,246 shares available for future grants under the Plan.
 
15.16.  Employee Savings Plan
 
In 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”). The terms of the Savings Plan provide for employees who have met defined service requirements to participate in the Savings Plan by electing to contribute to the Savings Plan a percentage of their compensation to be set aside to pay their future retirement benefits, as defined. The Savings Plan, as amended and restated, provides for the Company to make discretionary contributions (“Contribution”), as defined. The Company recorded Contribution expense of $1.3 million in 2006, $2.0 million in 2005, and $0.8 million in 2004, and $0.9 million in 2003;2004; such amounts were accrued as liabilities at December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003,2004, respectively. During the first quarter of 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004,2005, the Company contributed, 64,532, 120,960, 90,385, and 64,33390,385 shares, respectively, of Common Stock to the Savings Plan in satisfaction of these obligations.
 
16.17.  Income Taxes
 
In 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003,2004, the Company recognized a net operating loss for tax purposes and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. There is no benefit for federal or state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 20032004 since the Company has incurred net operating losses for tax purposes since inception and established a valuation allowance equal to the total deferred tax asset.
 
The tax effect of temporary differences, net operating loss carry-forwards, and research and experimental tax credit carry-forwards as of December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was as follows:
 
                    
 2005 2004  2006 2005 2004 
Deferred tax assets        
Deferred tax assets:            
Net operating loss carry-forward $161,060  $135,099  $177,034  $161,060  $135,099 
Fixed assets  12,873   9,772   15,640   12,873   9,772 
Deferred revenue  34,284   28,527   58,739   34,284   28,527 
Research and experimental tax credit carry-forward  23,074   20,772   23,248   23,074   20,772 
Capitalized research and development costs  24,015   28,559   19,555   24,015   28,559 
Other  12,095   4,168   18,110   12,095   4,168 
Valuation allowance  (267,401)  (226,897)  (312,326)  (267,401)  (226,897)
            
               
            
 
The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $44.9 million in 2006, due primarily to increases in the Company’s net operating loss carry-forward and the temporary difference related to deferred revenue, principally resulting from the non-refundable up-front payment received from Bayer HealthCare in 2006 (see Note 12b). The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $40.5 million in 2005, due primarily to an increase in the Company’s net operating loss carry-forward, and decreased by $14.2 million in 2004, due primarily to a reduction in the temporary difference related to deferred revenue.

For all years presented, the Company’s effective income tax rate is zero. The difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate and the Federal statutory rate of 34% is attributable to state tax benefits and tax credit carry-forwards offset by an increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance.

REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 
As of December 31, 2005,2006, the Company had available for tax purposes unused net operating loss carry-forwards of $404.8$446.1 million, which will expire in various years from 20062007 to 2025.2026 and included $3.0 million of net operating loss carry-forwards related to exercises of Nonqualified Stock Options and disqualifying dispositions of Incentive Stock Options, the tax benefit from which, if realized, will be credited to additional paid-in capital. The Company’s research and experimental tax credit carry-forwards expire in various years from 20062007 to 2025.2026. Under the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions, substantial changes in the Company’s ownership have resulted in an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards that can be utilized in future years to offset future taxable income. This annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards before utilization.
 
17.18.  Legal Matters
In May 2003, securities class action lawsuits were commenced against Regeneron and certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in October 2003. The complaint, which was purported to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of investors in the Company’s publicly traded securities between March 28, 2000 and March 30, 2003, alleged that the defendants misstated or omitted material information concerning the safety and efficacy of AXOKINE, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 andRule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
On November 14, 2005, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York approved the terms of a settlement between plaintiffs and the Company settling all claims against the Company in this lawsuit. The settlement requires no payment by the Company or any of the individual defendants named in the lawsuit. The Company’s primary insurance carrier agreed to make the required payment under the settlement, the amount of which is immaterial to the Company. The settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing by the Company or any of the individual defendants. Separately, the plaintiffs and the individual defendants named in the lawsuit entered into a Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal, which dismissed all claims against the individuals with prejudice.
 
From time to time, the Company is a party to other legal proceedings in the course of the Company’s business. The Company does not expect any such other current legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition.
 
18.19.  Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company’s basic net income (loss) per share amounts have been computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Common and Class A shares outstanding. The diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding, and of the common stock equivalents outstanding when dilutive. In 20052006 and 2003,2005, the Company reported net losses and,losses; therefore, no
