ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
TARGETED GENETICS CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by Targeted Genetics Corporation (the "Company"), without audit,
according 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 omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the
periods indicated.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
Note 2. Acquisition of RGene Therapeutics, Inc.
On June 19, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of RGene
Therapeutics, Inc. ("RGene"), a privately held gene therapy company. The Company
issued 3,636,364 shares of common stock in exchange for all the outstanding
capital stock of RGene at approximately $4.08 per share. The shares are
currently unregistered but the Company has agreed to register 50 percent of the
shares issued in the merger one year from the date of the closing.
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and the consideration
issued by the Company was allocated to tangible assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The aggregate purchase price of
$17,822,000 consisted of (in thousands):
Market value of capital stock $14,854
Acquisition costs and expenses 650
Liabilities assumed 2,318
-------
Total purchase price $17,822

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 2. Acquisition of RGene Therapeutics, Inc. (continued)
The aggregate purchase price exceeded the fair value of RGene's
tangible assets by $13,518,000. This amount was allocated to acquired in-process
research and development and written off to operations in the second quarter of
1996. The allocation of the aggregate purchase price was as follows (in
thousands):
Current assets $ 4,304
In-process technology 13,518
--------
$ 17,822
The following summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, assume the
acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods (dollars in
thousands, except for per share amounts):
1996 1995
---- ----
Revenue $ 5,455 $ 357
Net loss (4,983) (6,349)
Net loss per share (0.31) (0.50)
The pro forma results presented above do not include certain one-time
charges related to the acquisition of RGene.
The Company may issue up to $5 million in additional common stock to
RGene's former stockholders based on the achievement of certain clinical and
business-related milestones prior to December 31, 1998.
Note 3. Subsequent Events
On July 11, 1996, the Company's underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option to purchase an additional 525,000 shares of stock at the
offering price of $4.00 per share. The option was granted on June 20, 1996, in
connection with the Company's public offering of 3.5 million shares of common
stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition
The Company had cash, cash equivalents and securities available for
sale totaling $24.4 million as of June 30, 1996, compared to $14.4 million at
December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to net proceeds of
$12.9 million from the Company's recent public offering and $3.0 million from
the acquisition of RGene Therapeutics, Inc. ("RGene"), offset by the use of $5.6
million to fund its operations during the first six months of 1996.
The Company is a development stage company conducting gene and cell
therapy research and development. Income earned from investments has been its
only significant source of revenue. Gene and cell therapy products are subject
to the risks of failure inherent in the development of products based on
innovative technologies. Although the Company's technology appears promising, it
is unknown whether any commercially viable products will result from the
research and development. It is not anticipated that the Company will have any
product-related revenues for a number of years. Accordingly, the Company expects
to incur substantial additional losses over the next several years and to use
its capital resources to fund preclinical and clinical research programs,
development of manufacturing capabilities and the preparation for
commercialization of its products under development.
On June 19, 1996, the Company completed a merger with RGene, a private
biotechnology firm located in The Woodlands, Texas. As a result of this
transaction, Targeted Genetics acquired proprietary non-viral gene delivery
technology that complements the viral technologies the Company currently has
under development, a potential gene therapy product for the treatment of cancer
and key consulting and collaborative relationships with other leading scientists
in the gene therapy field. Under terms of the merger agreement, the Company
acquired all the outstanding shares of RGene stock in exchange for approximately
3.64 million unregistered shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the consideration
issued by the Company was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets
acquired. The Company acquired $2,977,000 of cash and cash equivalents in the
transaction, $1,425,000 of which will be used to satisfy liabilities assumed
from RGene.
The Company recently raised $14 million through the completion of a
public offering of 3.5 million shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. The
net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund continuing operations in
research and development, clinical testing and for capital expenditures. The
Company currently estimates that, at its planned rate of spending, adjusted to
reflect the increased expenses expected to result from the RGene merger, its
existing cash, cash equivalents and securities available for
8

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Financial Condition (continued)
sale will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements until at least late
1997. Such estimates include the impact of future milestone payments potentially
receivable under RGene collaborative agreements assumed by the Company in the
merger. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumed levels of revenue
and expense will prove to be accurate. Substantial additional funds will be
needed to continue the development and commercialization of the Company's
products. Accordingly, the Company is seeking to establish additional
collaborative agreements with corporate partners that would provide research and
development funding and equity investment. The Company also may seek to raise
additional equity capital whenever conditions in the financial markets allow it
to do so. There can be no assurance, however, that adequate funds will be
available when needed or will be available on terms favorable to the Company.
The above forward-looking statement regarding the Company's future
capital requirements is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected. The
Company's future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including the
successful consolidation of RGene with the Company; continued scientific
progress in its research and development programs; the results of research and
development, preclinical studies and clinical trials; acquisition of products or
technology, if any; relationships with corporate collaborators; competing
technological and market developments; the time and costs involved in obtaining
regulatory approvals; the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing
patent claims; the time and costs of manufacturing scale-up and
commercialization activities; and other factors. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on this forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of
the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the results of any revisions to this forward-looking statement that may
be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Results of Operations
Over the past several years, the Company's net loss has grown,
consistent with the growth in the Company's scope and size of operations. In the
near term, the Company plans additional moderate growth in employee headcount
necessary to address increasing requirements in the areas of manufacturing,
quality control, clinical and regulatory affairs. Assuming capital is available
to finance such growth, the Company's operating expenses will continue to
increase as a result. At least until such time as the Company enters into an
arrangement providing research and development funding, the net loss will
continue to increase as well.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Results of Operations (continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, investment and other
income increased to $230,000 and $414,000 compared to $179,000 and $312,000
during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was
attributable to a higher average cash balance for investment and higher rates of
return on those balances compared to the same period in 1995.
Research and development expenses were $2,432,000 and $4,798,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, and $1,957,000 and $3,935,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. Factors that contributed to the
increase in both current year periods compared to the same periods in 1995 were:
an increase in the level of expenses for development, manufacturing, quality
control, and regulatory activities supporting the Company's clinical trials;
additional employees and related expenses in preclinical immunology; and
increased employee benefits costs.
A one-time expense resulting from the acquisition of RGene was charged
against income in the second quarter of 1996. The RGene purchase price exceeded
the fair value of tangible assets acquired by $13,518,000. This amount was
allocated to RGene's existing in-process technology and was written off in the
current period to in-process research and development expense.
General and administrative expenses were $554,000 and $1,171,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, and $534,000 and $1,235,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. The Company experienced a moderate
increase in the expenses for the three- and six-month periods consistent with
the Company's growth. The impact of a one-time expense of $196,000 related to
certain corporate development activities is reflected in the six-month period
ended June 30, 1995.
Interest expense was $103,000 and $196,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996, and $78,000 and $153,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995. The increases were attributable to the additional equipment
leases entered into by the Company.
