To the Shareholders of
Cardiome Pharma Corp.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets ofCardiome Pharma Corp. as at December 31, 2003 and November 30, 2002 and the consolidated statements of loss and deficit and cash flows for the thirteen months ended December 31, 2003 and for each of the years in the two year period ended November 30, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian and United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2003 and November 30, 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the thirteen months ended December 31, 2003 and for each of the years in the two year period ended November 30, 2002 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its policy for the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and income taxes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2003 and November 30, 2002
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Cardiome Pharma Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on December 12, 1986 under the name Nortran Resources Ltd. The Company changed its name to Nortran Pharmaceuticals Inc. on June 24, 1992 and subsequently to Cardiome Pharma Corp. on June 20, 2001. On March 8, 2002, the Company was continued under the laws of Canada. The Company is a drug discovery and development company focused on developing proprietary drugs to treat or prevent cardiac diseases.
The Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from share issuances, payments from research collaborators and licensing fees. The Company's ability to realize the carrying value of its assets is dependent on successfully bringing its technologies to market and achieving future profitable operations, the outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time. It may be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds for the continuing development of its technologies.
The Company changed its fiscal year end from November 30 to December 31, effective December 31, 2003. Accordingly, for the 2003 fiscal period, the Company has reported its annual consolidated financial statements for the thirteen month period ended December 31, 2003.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company prepares its accounts in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of amounts presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles is detailed in note 16. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements:
Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardiome Pharma Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rhythm-Search Developments Ltd. (incorporated in Canada) and Cardiome, Inc. (incorporated in the United States). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to the assessment of net recoverable value of technology licenses and patents, reporting of revenue recognition and stock-based compensation. The reported amounts and note disclosure are determined using management's best estimates based on assumptions that reflect the most probable set of economic conditions and planned course of actions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency translation
The Company follows the temporal method of accounting for the translation of foreign currency amounts, including those of its integrated foreign subsidiary, into Canadian dollars. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. All other assets and liabilities are translated at
1
the exchange rates prevailing at the date the assets were acquired or the liabilities incurred. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are included in the determination of the loss for the period.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents, which are carried at the lower of cost or market.
Short-term investments
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity greater than 90 days and less than one year to be short-term investments. Short-term investments are considered available-for-sale and are carried at the lower of cost and market value.
Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the following terms:
Laboratory equipment | 5 years | |
Computer equipment | 3 years | |
Office equipment | 5 years | |
Laboratory equipment under capital lease | Term of lease | |
Leasehold improvements | Term of lease plus one renewal period | |
Web-site development costs | 3 years |
Technology licenses and patent costs
Technology licenses, which includes licenses and rights to technologies, are initially recorded at fair value based on consideration paid and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the underlying technologies of ten years.
Patent costs associated with the preparation, filing, and obtaining of patents are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the patents of ten years.
Management evaluates the recoverability of technology licenses and patents on a quarterly basis based on the expected utilization of the underlying technologies. If the estimated net recoverable value, calculated based on undiscounted estimated future cash flows, exceed the carrying value of the underlying technology, the excess amount is charged to operations. The amounts shown for technology licenses and patent costs do not necessarily reflect present or future values and the ultimate amount recoverable will be dependent upon the successful development and commercialization of products based on these rights.
Leases
Leases have been classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of assets are accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred.
2
Government grants
Government grants are recorded as a reduction of the related expenditure when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has complied with all conditions necessary to receive the grants, collectibility is reasonably assured, and the amounts are non-refundable. During the 13 months ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded government grants of $76,000 [years ended November 30, 2002—$37,000; November 30, 2001—$88,137] as a reduction of research and development expenditures.
Revenue recognition
Research collaborative fees, which are non-refundable, are recorded as revenue as the related research expenses are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement and provided collectibility is reasonably assured.
Licensing fees comprise initial fees and milestone payments derived from collaborative licensing arrangements. Non-refundable milestone payments are recognized upon the achievement of the specified milestones when the milestone is substantive in nature, the achievement of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, and the Company has no further significant involvement or obligation to perform under the arrangement. Otherwise, non-refundable milestone payments and initial fees are deferred and amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of the ongoing involvement of the Company.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development costs are expensed in the period incurred unless the Company believes a development project meets generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. At December 31, 2003 and November 30, 2002, no development costs have been deferred.
Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments
The Company grants stock options to executive officers and directors, employees, consultants and clinical advisory board members pursuant to a stock option plan described in note 10[d]. Effective December 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options granted, modified or settled since December 1, 2002 [note 3[a]].
Future income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method of tax allocation. Future income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in rates is included in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Future income tax assets are recorded in the financial statements if realization is considered more likely than not.
Loss per common share
Loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares held in escrow or other contingently issuable common shares. Diluted loss per common share is equivalent to basic loss per share as the outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
[a] Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments
The Company has elected to prospectively adopt the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (the "CICA") new Handbook section 3870,Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, effective December 1, 2002. This standard requires that all stock-based awards be measured and recognized using a fair value based method.
The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and is amortized over the vesting terms. Prior to the adoption of this standard no compensation expense was recognized for stock options issued. The change in this accounting policy did not result in any adjustment to the Company's opening deficit balance on December 1, 2002. For the thirteen months ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded $1,991,865 and $67,188 of stock-based compensation for stock options granted after December 1, 2002, to employees and non-employees, respectively.
[b] Income taxes
Effective December 1, 2000, the Company adopted the recommendations of the CICA with respect to accounting for income taxes. This change was applied retroactively and resulted in a decrease in technology and an increase in the deficit at December 1, 2000 of $428,000.
4. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND ADJUSTMENT
- [a]
- On March 8, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Cardiome, Inc., a development stage enterprise. The acquisition provides the Company with certain intellectual property rights, under a license from the John Hopkins University, relating to the use of xanthine oxidase inhibitors for treatment of congestive heart failure (the "CHF technology"), other cardiovascular disorders and neuromuscular disease. The acquisition also provides the Company with the rights, under an exclusive worldwide sublicense from ILEX Oncology, Inc. ("ILEX"), to ILEX's rights under its license agreement with Burroughs Welcome Co. and The Wellcome Foundations, Ltd. to oxypurinol for the treatment of hyperuricemia (gout) in humans who are intolerant of allopurinol. ILEX also granted the Company an exclusive license to certain safety and efficacy clinical data, know-how and an option to acquire additional efficacy clinical data of oxypurinol for the treatment of gout. Oxypurinol is one of the known xanthine oxidase inhibitor. The Company expected that the combination of these licenses would potentially expedite the development of the CHF technology directly into Phase II clinical trial. The Company issued 8,203,396 common shares in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Cardiome, Inc.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the results of operations have been included in the consolidated statement of loss and deficit from the date of acquisition.
4
The purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of Cardiome, Inc.'s identifiable net assets and liabilities in accordance with the purchase method as follows:
| $ | |
---|---|---|
Assets acquired: | ||
Cash | 624 | |
Other assets | 560,368 | |
License technology | 48,897,408 | |
Total assets acquired | 49,458,400 | |
Less liabilities assumed: | ||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 355,502 | |
Long-term debt | 723,111 | |
Future income tax liability | 19,500,000 | |
Total liabilities assumed | 20,578,613 | |
Net assets acquired | 28,879,787 | |
Consideration given: | ||
8,203,396 common shares | 27,480,261 | |
Transaction costs | 1,399,526 | |
Total consideration | 28,879,787 | |
The purchase price allocation reflects the fair value, at the acquisition date, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the Company's evaluation of such assets and liabilities following the closing of the acquisition. The value of the common shares issued was determined to be $3.36 per share using the three-day average quoted market price of the Company's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the period from December 20 to 22, 2001. December 21, 2001 was the date on which the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. The amount allocated to the common shares of $27,480,261 is net of costs of registering the shares of $83,149.
- [b]
- The Company has retroactively restated its 2002 consolidated financial statements to reflect a reduction to the amount of future income tax assets recognized upon the acquisition of Cardiome, Inc. because the more likely than not criteria was not met. Accordingly, the value allocated to license technology was increased by $19,400,000 with a corresponding increase to future income tax liability. This adjustment resulted in an increase in amortization expense for the year ended November 30, 2002 of $1,430,000 with a corresponding increase in future income tax recovery. Net loss and net loss per share for the year ended November 30, 2002 were not affected.
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash equivalents, short-term investments, amounts receivable, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The obligations under capital leases bear interest at rates which, in management's opinion, approximate the current interest rates and therefore, approximate their fair value.
Financial risk is the risk to the Company's results of operations that arises from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Interest rate risk arises as the Company's investments bear fixed interest rates. Foreign exchange risk arises as the Company's investments which finance operations are substantially denominated in Canadian dollars and a significant portion of the Company's expenses are denominated in United States dollars and Euro dollars.
5
As at December 31, 2003, included in amounts receivable is an amount of $3,687,645 (US$2,844,308) due from one research collaborator.
6. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash equivalents include approximately $6,472,000 [November 30, 2002—$1,280,000] of commercial papers, bankers' acceptances and term deposits with an average interest rate of 2.55% at December 31, 2003 [November 30, 2002—1.88%] including $nil [November 30, 2002—$782,000 (US$500,000)] denominated in U.S. dollars.
Short-term investments mainly comprise commercial papers and term deposits with an average interest rate of 2.31% at December 31, 2003 [November 30, 2002—3.17%] and maturities to December 2004 [November 30, 2002—August 2003] including $6,461,043 (US$4,983,450) [November 30, 2002—$nil] denominated in U.S. dollars.
At December 31, 2003, the fair value of the short-term investments was approximately $30,624,000 [November 30, 2002—$18,376,000], based on quoted market prices.

15. CONTINGENCIES
- [a]
- The Company may, from time to time, be subject to claims and legal proceedings brought against it in the normal course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the accounts where required and the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
16
- [b]
- The Company entered into indemnification agreements with all officers and directors. The maximum potential amount of future payments required under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company maintains appropriate liability insurance that limits the exposure and enables the Company to recover any future amounts paid, less any deductible amounts pursuant to the terms of the respective policies, the amounts of which are not considered material.
- [c]
- The Company entered into license and research agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions that are customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third party claims or damages arising from these transactions. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. These indemnification provisions may survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

16. RECONCILIATION OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP") which as applied in these consolidated financial statements conform in all material respects to United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), except as follows:
- [a]
- As described in note 3, the Company adopted the liability method of accounting for income taxes. As a result of differences in the transition rules between the recommendations of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants with respect to accounting for income taxes and SFAS 109, there is a $111,280 difference in technology and deficit under U.S. GAAP for the period ended December 31, 2003 [November 30, 2002—$222,560; November 30, 2001—$325,280].
- [b]
- For reconciliation purposes to U.S. GAAP for the years ended November 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations, in accounting for stock options granted to executive officers, directors and employees. Compensation expense is calculated based on the difference, on the date of grant, between the fair market value of the Company's stock and the exercise price and is recorded over the vesting period of the options. For purposes of reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded compensation expense in respect of options granted to executive officers, directors and employees below fair market value amounted to $10,000 for the year ended November 30, 2002 [2001—$44,100].
- [c]
- Under U.S. GAAP, stock based compensation to non-employees must be recorded at the fair value of the options granted on the earlier of the date at which a performance commitment is reached or the vesting date of the options. This compensation is expensed over the vesting periods of each option grant. The fair value of the stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended November 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively: dividend yield 0.0%; expected volatility 93% and 99%; risk-free interest rate 3.0% and 5.0%; and expected average option life of 3.8 and 4.5 years. For purposes of reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded additional compensation expense of $76,799 for the year ended November 30, 2002 [2001—$35,000] in respect of options earned by non-employees.
- [d]
- Under U.S. GAAP, short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and carried at market values with unrealized gains or losses reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
- [e]
- For purposes of Canadian GAAP, the effect of the change in accounting principle for revenue recognition applied in fiscal 2001 was applied retroactively and all prior years were restated. For purposes of U.S. GAAP, this change in accounting principle was applied as a cumulative effect adjustment to the fiscal 2001 reported net loss.
