ArQule, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
ArQule, Inc. is engaged in the discovery, development and production of novel chemical compounds primarily for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Our operations are focused on the integration of high throughput automated chemistry, structure-guided rational drug design, computational and predictive models of drug-like compound characteristics and other proprietary technologies which automate the process of chemical synthesis to produce arrays of novel small organic chemical compounds used to generate and optimize drug development and product development candidates. We are subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology, medical device and diagnostic industries, included, but not limited to, development by the Company or our competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with government regulations.
2. Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and footnotes related thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2002. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2002, and the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.
3. Accounting Changes
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("FAS 142"). Under FAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. With respect to goodwill amortization, ArQule adopted FAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, ArQule had goodwill of approximately $25.9 million. If ArQule chose not to implement the provisions of FAS 142 for goodwill, amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002 would have been $1.1 million. Pursuant to FAS 142, ArQule will test for goodwill impairment at least annually and if impairment is indicated, record such impairment as a cumulative effect of accounting change effective January 1, 2002. ArQule is currently evaluating the effect that the impairment review may have on its consolidated results of operation and financial position.
4. Camitro Corporation
On January 29, 2001, we acquired Camitro Corporation; a privately held predictive modeling company based in Menlo Park, California in a transaction accounted for as a purchase business combination. The merger transaction was valued at $84.3 million based on our share price on the measurement date for the merger. Approximately $18.0 million of the purchase price represents the estimated fair value of the purchased in-process research and development ("IPR&D") that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was immediately expensed in the consolidated statement of operations upon the acquisition date. The value
4
assigned to IPR&D technology reflected the fair value of the initial suite of ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, toxicity) models and the upgrade suite of ADMET models at the time of the merger.
5. Pacific Shores Lease
In connection with our acquisition of Camitro Corporation on January 29, 2001, we assumed Camitro's existing lease for approximately 25,000 square feet of office space in Menlo Park, California, which will expire on September 30, 2002. Prior to expiration, we had the option to renew this lease for a term of 18 months, which we have elected not to exercise. Our lease payments are $46,282 per month. Effective March 2002, we entered into an eight-year lease with Pacific Shores Centers LLC for approximately 34,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in Redwood City, California. We expect to take occupancy in September 2002. Our base lease payment, upon commencement will be approximately $75,823 per month, subject to annual escalation provisions. We will have the option to renew for an additional three-year term at the greater of the September 2010's rental rate or the then fair market value.
6. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options and warrants. Options to purchase 1,266,265 and 1,384,177 shares of common stock were not included in the March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, respectively, because inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.
7. Contingencies
We lease approximately 56,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in Medford, Massachusetts, the majority of which is utilized for the Pfizer collaboration. We lease these facilities under two lease agreements, one of which expires on July 30, 2005 and one of which expires on July 30, 2006. We sublease these facilities pursuant to three sublease agreements.
On August 1, 2001, Cummings Properties, LLC ("Cummings") significantly raised our rent on the lease that expires July 30, 2006. We believe this increase to be in excess of rates that are permissible under the lease agreement. Accordingly, on January 16, 2001, we brought a complaint to Middlesex Superior Court of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts for declaratory relief and damages against Cummings arising, in part, out of Cummings' attempts to increase our lease rates. Nevertheless, during the pendency of this dispute, we are paying the rental rate proposed by Cummings. We seek recovery of the funds that we have already paid and are paying, under protest. If the amount of rent we must pay is in excess of our current estimate of market rates, we will need to recognize additional expense.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation
OVERVIEW
We are engaged in the production and development of novel chemical compounds with commercial potential in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. We primarily manufacture arrays of synthesized compounds for delivery to our customers for use in lead compound generation and lead compound optimization activities. In addition, we have established a number of joint drug discovery programs with biotechnology companies and academic institutions, and are pursuing a limited number of our own internal drug discovery programs.
We primarily generate revenue through our collaborative agreements for production and delivery of compound arrays and other research and development services. Under some of these collaborative agreements, we are also entitled to receive milestone and royalty payments if the customer develops products resulting from the collaboration. To date, we have received two milestone payments and no royalty payments. In addition, we have not yet realized any significant revenue from our joint discovery programs with biotechnology companies and academic institutions, or from our internal drug discovery programs. While we expect our revenue to increase in 2002, our financial performance may vary from expectations, including quarterly variations in performance, because levels of revenue are dependent on expanding or continuing existing collaborations, entering into additional corporate collaborations, receiving future milestones and royalty payments, and realizing value from ongoing drug discovery programs, all of which are difficult to anticipate. See the discussion of our revenue recognition policy in our Critical Accounting Policies in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 27, 2002.
We will continue to invest in technologies that enhance and expand our capabilities in drug discovery. These continued investments in technology are intended to enhance the novelty, diversity, and medical relevance of our compound arrays and to augment the power and scope of our chemistry capabilities. In addition to investments in technology, we may invest in internal lead optimization programs with the goal of delivering clinical candidates. Investments of this nature may result in near term earnings fluctuations or impact the magnitude of profitability or loss.
We have incurred a cumulative net loss of $80.1 million through March 31, 2002. Losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development activities related to our efforts to develop our technologies and from the associated administrative costs required to support those efforts. While we were profitable in fiscal year 2000, we were not profitable in 2001 and we expect that we will not be profitable in 2002. Our ability to achieve sustained profitability is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to perform pursuant to our collaborations at the expected cost, our ability to expand or continue existing collaborations, the timing of additional investments in technology and the realization of value from the development and commercialization of products in which we have an economic interest, all of which are difficult to predict.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements reflecting management's current expectations regarding our future performance. These statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," or similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations, which are based on certain assumptions regarding revenue growth and profitability, the progress of product development efforts under collaborative agreements, execution of new collaborative agreements, our development of technology invented in-house and acquired from Camitro and elsewhere, and other factors relating to our growth. Such expectations may not materialize. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated if, among other things, product development efforts are delayed or suspended, negotiations
6
with potential collaborators are delayed or unsuccessful, or if other assumptions prove to be incorrect. For a complete description of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from management's current expectations, please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 27, 2002. We will not update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of that report, except as may be required by law.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001
Revenue. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were $14.0 million, as compared to $13.9 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $0.1 million, or approximately 1 percent. This increase is primarily due to Custom Array library revenues from the new Pfizer agreement offset by the decrease in revenues due to the completion of the Wyeth and Johnson & Johnson Mapping Array Programs.
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002 totaled $8.3 million, as compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $1.8 million, or approximately 28 percent. The increase in costs of revenue was attributable to increased costs for producing Custom Array sets for Pfizer Inc. and Bayer AG. Our gross margin as a percentage of sales was 41 percent for the period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to 53 percent for the same period during the prior year. Our gross margin as a percentage of sales was lower in 2002 due to increased costs related to the Bayer and Pfizer collaborations.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were $8.2 million, as compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $2.3 million, or 39 percent. This increase is the result of our ongoing efforts to augment and enhance our chemistry, predictive and computational modeling capabilities and related proprietary technologies, including increases in personnel, as we expand our drug discovery programs and technology platform.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses. Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were $3.7 million, as compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $1.2 million, or 48 percent. The increase was primarily associated with increased support costs, including added personnel.
Merger Related Charges. Expenses for the first quarter of 2001 related to our acquisition of Camitro were $20.6 million, which included a one-time charge of $18.0 million for in-process research and development, $1.3 million for stock-based compensation, $0.7 million for the amortization of goodwill and $0.6 million amortization of other intangibles. Expenses for the first quarter of 2002 include $0.8 million in amortization of other Camitro intangibles and $1.7 million in stock-based compensation expense.
Net investment income. Net investment income consists primarily of interest income partially offset by interest expense and other non-operating income and expenses. Interest income in for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $0.6 million, as compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2001, a decrease of $1.0 million. Interest expense was $0.3 million in 2002 and 2001. Our lower investment income in 2002 is a result of lower average interest rates on our investment portfolio when compared to 2001.
Net loss. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $8.4 million, compared to a net loss of $20.3 million for the same period in 2001. Our net loss in 2001 was primarily attributable to $20.6 million in merger-related amortization and charges from our acquisition of Camitro.
7
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2002, we held cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with a value of $95.0 million, compared to $98.0 million at December 31, 2001. Our working capital at March 31, 2002 was $65.7 million. We have funded operations through March 31, 2002 with sales of common stock, payments from corporate collaborators, and the utilization of bank financing.
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the period ended March 31, 2002 were $0.6 million, an increase of $3.4 million from $2.8 million used in 2001. This increase reflects primarily the timing of payments from our corporate collaborations. Cash flows used in investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2002 were $0.1 million compared to a use of cash of $21.1 million in the same period of 2001. The principal reason for this change was our purchase of our facility and the adjacent lot in Woburn, Massachusetts for $20.5 million in March 2001. Cash flows generated from financing activities for the period ended March 31, 2002 decreased $17.0 million to $1.7 million used in 2002 from $15.3 million generated in 2001. In March 2001, we borrowed $16.0 million from Fleet to finance our facility and land purchase.
We expect that our available cash and marketable securities, together with operating revenues and investment income will be sufficient to finance our working capital and capital requirements for the next several years. We have been cash flow positive from operations for three consecutive years, and coupled with our existing cash and marketable securities, we believe that even without additional funding we would have sufficient funds to operate for at least the next several years. Our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned depending upon the results of our drug discovery and development strategies, our ability to enter into any additional corporate collaborations in the future and the terms of such collaborations, the results of research and development, the need for currently unanticipated capital expenditures, competitive and technological advances, acquisitions and other factors. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain additional customers for our products and services, or that such products and services will produce revenues adequate to fund our operating expenses. If we experience increased losses, we may have to seek additional financing from public or private sales of our securities, including equity securities. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available when needed or on acceptable terms. Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2002 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flows have not changed materially, except for the lease described in Note 5 above, since December 31, 2001.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We own financial instruments that are sensitive to market risk as part of our investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio is used to preserve our capital until it is used to fund operations, including our research and development activities. None of these market-risk sensitive instruments is held for trading purposes. We invest our cash primarily in money market mutual funds and U.S. government and other investment grade debt securities. These investments are evaluated quarterly to determine the fair value of the portfolio. Our investment portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to help insure liquidity. We have implemented policies regarding the amount and credit ratings of investments. Due to the conservative nature of these policies, we do not believe we have material exposure to market risk.
Our use of derivative financial instruments is limited to the utilization of two interest rate swap agreements. Settlement accounting is used for these interest rate swaps, whereby amounts to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates changes and are recognized as an adjustment in interest expense.
See notes 2 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 27, 2002 for a description of our use of derivatives and other financial instruments. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximates fair value at March 31, 2002 due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
