Prospectus summary

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You
should read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing
in our common stock, which we discuss under "Risk factors" and our consolidated
financial statements and related notes.

OVERVIEW

We are a biopharmaceutical company engaged in developing small molecule drugs
to treat central nervous system, cardiovascular and renal disorders. We
currently have four product candidates for five indications in development,
with one in Phase III clinical trials, three in Phase II clinical trials and
one that recently concluded its first Phase I clinical trial. We have entered
into collaboration agreements with Schwarz Pharma AG, King Pharmaceuticals
Research and Development, Inc. (King), a subsidiary of King Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. and Fujisawa Healthcare, Inc. We focus on small molecule drug candidates
that act selectively to either block (antagonists) or increase (agonists) the
activity of certain proteins, such as receptors and enzymes that regulate
important physiologic functions. By developing compounds that selectively
target single receptor subtypes, we believe we can produce the desired
therapeutic effect while minimizing side effects often produced by less
selective compounds. Small molecules generally offer the dosing flexibility
required for optimal patient compliance, have a broader array of dosage forms,
lend themselves to easier formulation, have greater potential for absorption
and utilization by the body and are more efficiently manufactured than large
molecule therapies, such as proteins.

OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES

We currently have four product candidates for five indications in development.

 .   Our most advanced product candidate, Rotigotine-CDS, a dopamine D\\2\\
    receptor agonist, is formulated as a transdermal patch for first line
    treatment of early stage and combination therapy for late stage Parkinson's
    disease, an age-related, neurodegenerative disorder. Parkinson's disease
    affects one million patients in the United States. Current therapy is
    limited by erratic patterns of drug release into the blood stream, causing
    patients to experience often debilitating fluctuations in symptoms.
    Rotigotine-CDS is a transdermal patch that is designed to provide a
    constant blood level of the drug over a 24-hour period, thereby minimizing
    daily symptoms and side effects associated with fluctuating levels of drug
    in the blood. Schwarz Pharma has an exclusive, worldwide license to develop
    and commercialize Rotigotine-CDS. Rotigotine-CDS is currently in Phase III
    clinical trials in the United States and Europe.

 .   Rotigotine-CDS has also been formulated as a reduced-dose patch for the
    treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome, a common, under-diagnosed neurologic
    movement disorder, which studies indicate may affect up to 15% of the
    population. Patients with this disorder have an almost irresistible urge to
    move their legs because of disagreeable sensations associated with this
    syndrome. There are currently no medications approved for the treatment of
    Restless Legs Syndrome in the United States. Schwarz Pharma began
    development of Rotigotine-CDS reduced dose with a pilot, Phase II safety
    and efficacy clinical trial in late 2001 in Europe.

 .   MRE-470 is an adenosine A\\2A\\ agonist being developed as an alternative
    to exercise stress testing in combination with coronary artery flow imaging
    for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Because many patients can not
    perform the level of exercise necessary for an adequate study,
    approximately 1.8 million coronary blood flow imaging procedures are
    performed in the United States using a pharmacologic stress agent in lieu
    of exercise each year. Currently, the leading pharmacologic stress agent
    for imaging studies is adenosine. Our selective adenosine A\\2A\\ receptor
    agonist is designed to minimize the side effects of adenosine and can be
    delivered as a bolus injection rather than the continuous infusion required
    with adenosine. King has the exclusive, worldwide license to develop and
    commercialize MRE-470. MRE-470 is currently in Phase II clinical trials in
    the United States.

                                                                             3



 .   DTI-0009 is an adenosine A\\1\\ agonist designed to control heart rate in
    atrial fibrillation by slowing conduction through the atrioventricular
    node. Atrial fibrillation is the most common of the cardiac arrhythmias, or
    abnormal heart rhythms, and affects approximately six million patients
    worldwide.  DTI-0009 is being developed as both an oral formulation for
    chronic and an intravenous formulation for acute therapy. Fujisawa
    Healthcare has the exclusive, clinical development and commercialization
    rights, in the United States and Canada, for the intravenous formulation of
    DTI-0009. The intravenous formulation of DTI-0009 is in Phase II clinical
    trials in the United States.

 .   DTI-0017 is an adenosine A\\1\\ antagonist designed to treat edema
    typically associated with congestive heart failure. Approximately 4.7
    million people in the United States suffer from congestive heart failure.
    DTI-0017 is being developed as both an oral formulation for chronic and an
    intravenous formulation for acute therapy. Our own studies and other
    published research suggest that adenosine A\\1\\ antagonists, such as
    DTI-0017, appear to act at a different site in the kidney from most
    diuretics, do not affect potassium balance, appear to prevent the decreased
    renal function seen with some other diuretics and may prevent the
    development of resistance to the diuretic effect occurring with some other
    agents. We have concluded our first Phase I clinical trial of DTI-0017 and
    are currently reformulating the product candidate and conducting additional
    animal testing.

In addition, we believe there may be additional therapeutic indications for our
current portfolio of product candidates.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

We intend to become a leader in the development and commercialization of
innovative adenosine-based and other therapies for cardiovascular, central
nervous system and renal diseases. To achieve this objective, we intend to
concentrate on the following key strategies:

 .   focus our internal research and pre-clinical development on predominantly
    cardiovascular, central nervous system and renal disease pathways;

 .   maintain and expand our in-house expertise and capabilities in synthetic
    chemistry, pharmacology and key elements of clinical development while
    outsourcing routine drug development activities;

 .   wherever economically feasible, retain development responsibility and
    marketing rights to our drug candidates through late stage clinical
    development and/or regulatory approval to maximize the value of each of our
    drug candidates; and

 .   in-license clinical stage drug candidates and acquire companies with
    complementary product pipelines and technologies to supplement our internal
    research and development efforts.

Risk factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below with all of the other information
included in this prospectus before making an investment decision. If any of the
possible adverse events described below actually occurs, our business, results
of operations or financial condition would likely suffer. In such an event, the
market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part
of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We have a history of operating losses and accumulated deficit, and we may not
achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
Since we were founded in 1994, we have engaged primarily in organizational and
research and development efforts. We have incurred operating losses in all but
two years since our inception, and we may never achieve sustained
profitability. The net loss for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 was
$4.9 million compared to net income of $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
was $6.7 million. As of September 30, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of
$20.2 million. Our losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in
connection with our research and development activities and from general and
administrative costs associated with our operations.

We have not commercially launched any products to date and do not expect to do
so in the near future. Our ability to generate revenue from product sales or to
achieve profitability is dependent on our ability, alone or with our corporate
collaborators, to successfully and timely design, develop, manufacture and
commercialize our product candidates. Our revenues to date have been generated
principally from license fees and milestone payments from our drug compounds.
We expect that our costs will continue to exceed our revenues on an annual
basis for the foreseeable future. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may
not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

Our operating results fluctuate significantly, and any failure to meet
financial expectations may disappoint securities analysts or investors and
result in a decline in our stock price, causing investor losses.
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to do so in
the future. These fluctuations could cause our stock price to decline. Some of
the factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include:

 .   expiration or termination of agreements with collaborators, which may not
    be renewed or replaced;

 .   general and industry-specific economic conditions, which may affect our
    collaborators' and our research and development expenditures on our
    out-licensed drug candidates;

 .   inability of our collaborators and us to complete non-clinical and clinical
    studies in a timely manner that results in a failure or delay in receiving
    the required regulatory approvals to commercialize our drug candidates;

 .   the timing and willingness of our collaborators to invest the resources
    necessary to commercialize our drug candidates;

 .   the timing of receipts of milestone payments from our collaborators; and

 .   the timing of regulatory approvals, if any.

If our revenues decline in a quarter, whether due to a delay in recognizing
expected revenues or otherwise, our earnings will decline because many of our
expenses are relatively fixed. In particular, our

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             7



Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

research and development and general and administrative expenses are not
affected directly by variations in revenue.

Due to fluctuations in our revenues and operating expenses, we believe that
period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not a good
indication of our future performance. It is possible that in some future
quarter or quarters, our operating results will be below the expectations of
securities analysts or investors. In that case, our stock price could fluctuate
significantly or decline.

We are at an early stage of development and we do not have, and may never
develop, any commercial drugs or other products that generate revenues.
We are a biopharmaceutical company at an early stage of development, and we do
not have any commercial products. Our drug candidates will require significant
additional development, clinical trials, regulatory clearances and additional
investment before they can be commercialized. Our product development efforts
may not lead to commercial drugs, either because the drug candidates fail to be
safe and effective in clinical trials or because we have inadequate financial
or other resources to pursue our drug candidates through the clinical trial
process. We do not expect to be able to market any of our existing drug
candidates for a number of years, if at all. If we are unable to develop any
commercial drugs, or if such development is delayed, we will be unable to
generate product revenues, which may require that we raise additional capital
or cease our operations.

The regulatory approval process is expensive, time consuming, uncertain and may
prevent us from obtaining required approvals for the commercialization of some
of our drug candidates.
The research, testing, manufacturing and marketing of drug candidates are
subject to extensive regulation by numerous regulatory authorities in the
United States and other countries. In addition, countries other than the United
States have complex and technical regulatory requirements that differ from
country to country. Failure to comply with the regulatory requirements of the
Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other applicable foreign and US
regulatory requirements may subject a company to administrative or judicially
imposed sanctions. These include:

 .   warning letters;

 .   civil penalties;

 .   criminal penalties;

 .   injunctions;

 .   product seizure or detention;

 .   product recalls;

 .   total or partial suspension of production; and

 .   FDA refusal to approve pending new drug applications, or NDAs, or
    supplements to approved NDAs.

Our drug candidates are in the early stages of development and have not
received required regulatory clearance from the FDA or any other foreign or US
regulatory body to be commercially marketed and sold. The regulatory clearance
process typically takes many years and is extremely expensive. Despite the time
and expense exerted, regulatory clearance is never guaranteed. If we fail to
obtain regulatory clearance for our current or future drug candidates, we will
be unable to market and sell any products and therefore may never be able to
generate product revenues or be profitable.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As part of the regulatory clearance process, we must conduct, at our own
expense or our collaborators' expense, pre-clinical research and clinical
trials for each drug candidate to demonstrate safety and efficacy.
The number of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials that will be required
for FDA approval varies depending on the drug candidate, the disease or
condition that the drug candidate is in development for and regulations
applicable to any particular drug candidate.

The FDA can delay, limit or deny approval of a drug for many reasons, including:

 .   a drug candidate may not be safe or effective;

 .   FDA officials may interpret data from pre-clinical testing and clinical
    trials in different ways than we interpret it;

 .   the FDA might not approve our manufacturing processes or facilities, or the
    processes or facilities of our collaborators; or

 .   the FDA may change its approval policies or adopt new regulations.

The FDA also may approve a drug candidate for fewer indications than requested
or may condition approval on the performance of post-marketing studies for a
drug candidate.

Even if we receive FDA and other regulatory approvals, our drug candidates may
later exhibit adverse effects that limit or prevent their widespread use or
that force us to withdraw products derived from those drug candidates from the
market. The process of obtaining approvals in foreign countries may be subject
to delay and failure for the same reasons. In addition, we cannot be certain
that regulatory authorities will approve the labeling claims that are necessary
or desirable for the promotion of our drug candidates. Any delay in, or failure
to receive approval for, any of our drug candidates could materially harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we receive regulatory approval, we will also be subject to ongoing FDA
obligations and continued regulatory review, such as continued safety reporting
requirements, and we may also be subject to additional FDA post-marketing
obligations.
Any regulatory approvals that we receive for our drug candidates may also be
subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the drug candidate may
be marketed or contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing
follow-up studies. In addition, we or our third-party manufacturers will be
required to adhere to federal regulations setting forth current good
manufacturing practices, known as cGMP. The regulations require that our drug
candidates are manufactured and our records maintained in a prescribed manner
with respect to manufacturing, testing and quality control activities.
Furthermore, we or our third party manufacturers must pass a pre-approval
inspection of manufacturing facilities by the FDA and foreign authorities
before obtaining marketing approval, and will be subject to periodic inspection
by the FDA and corresponding foreign regulatory authorities under reciprocal
agreements with the FDA. Such inspections may result in compliance issues that
could prevent or delay marketing approval, or require the expenditure of money
or other resources to correct. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory
requirements, we may be subject to fines, suspension or withdrawal of
regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating
restrictions and criminal prosecution, which could materially harm our
business, financial condition and results of operation.

We are dependent on the successful outcome of the clinical trials for our most
advanced drug candidates, Rotigotine-CDS, MRE-470 and DTI-0009.
Our business prospects will depend on our ability and the ability of our
collaborators to complete patient enrollment in clinical trials, to obtain
satisfactory results, to obtain required regulatory approvals and to

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             9



Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

successfully commercialize Rotigotine-CDS, MRE-470 and DTI-0009. Many factors
affect patient enrollment, including the size of the patient population, the
proximity of patients to clinical sites and the eligibility criteria for the
trial. Delays in patient enrollment in the trials may result in increased
costs, program delays, or both, which could slow down our product development
and approval process. If clinical trials for these drug candidates are not
completed or conducted as planned, or if either or both of these drug
candidates do not prove to be safe and effective or do not receive required
regulatory approvals, the commercialization of these drug candidates would be
delayed or prevented and our business prospects would be materially harmed
which would likely cause a sharp drop in our stock price.

Our pre-clinical and initial clinical testing results may not be predictive of
future trial results. If subsequent trial results are negative, we may be
forced to stop developing drug candidates important to our future.
The results of pre-clinical studies and initial clinical trials of our drug
candidates do not necessarily predict the results of later-stage clinical
trials. Drug candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the
desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through initial
clinical testing. We cannot assure you that the data collected from clinical
trials of our drug candidates will be sufficient to support FDA or other
regulatory approval.

Administering any drug candidates we develop to humans may produce undesirable
side effects. These side effects could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials
of our drug candidates and could result in the FDA or other regulatory
authorities denying approval of our drug candidates for any or all targeted
indications. The FDA, other regulatory authorities or we may suspend or
terminate clinical trials at any time. We cannot assure you that any of our
drug candidates will be safe for human use.

If we fail to maintain our existing collaborative relationships, or if our
collaborators do not devote adequate resources to the development and
commercialization of our licensed drug candidates, we may not be able to
achieve profitability.
We have granted exclusive development, commercialization and marketing rights
to Schwarz Pharma for the development of Rotigotine-CDS, to King for MRE-470
and to Fujisawa Healthcare for the intravenous formulation of DTI-0009 in the
United States and Canada. These collaborators are responsible for most, and in
some cases all, aspects of these programs, including conducting research and
development and clinical trials and the regulatory approval process. We have no
control over the amount and timing of resources that our collaborators dedicate
to the development of our licensed drug candidates. Our ability to generate
royalties from our collaborators depends on our collaborators' abilities to
establish the safety and efficacy of our drug candidates, obtain regulatory
approvals and achieve market acceptance of products developed from our drug
candidates. If Schwarz Pharma, King or Fujisawa Healthcare do not perform under
our collaborative agreements, our potential for revenue from the related drug
candidates will be dramatically reduced. Schwarz Pharma, King and Fujisawa
Healthcare may terminate our collaborative agreements on short notice and at
their sole discretion.

Collaborative agreements generally pose the following risks:

 .   collaborators may not pursue further development and commercialization of
    compounds resulting from collaborations or may elect not to continue or
    renew research and development programs;

 .   collaborators may delay clinical trials, underfund a clinical trial
    program, stop a clinical trial or abandon a drug candidate, repeat or
    conduct new clinical trials or require a new formulation of a drug
    candidate for clinical testing;

 .   collaborators could independently develop, or develop with third parties,
    products that could compete with our future products;


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10



Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 .   the terms of our agreements with our current or future collaborators may
    not be favorable to us;

 .   a collaborator with marketing and distribution rights to one or more
    products may not commit enough resources to the marketing and distribution
    of products developed from our drug candidates, limiting our potential
    revenues from the commercialization of a product;

 .   disputes may arise delaying or terminating the research, development or
    commercialization of our drug candidates, or result in significant
    litigation or arbitration; and

 .   collaborations may be terminated and, if terminated, we would experience
    increased capital requirements if we elected to pursue further development
    of the drug candidate.

In addition, there have been a significant number of recent business
combinations among large pharmaceutical companies that have resulted in a
reduced number of potential future collaborators. If business combinations
involving our collaborators were to occur, the effect could be to diminish,
terminate or cause delays in one or more of our product development programs.

If we do not find additional collaborators for our drug candidates, we may have
to reduce or delay our rate of product development and/or increase our
expenditures.
Our strategy for developing, manufacturing and commercializing our drug
candidates includes entering into various relationships with pharmaceutical
companies to advance our programs and reduce our expenditures on each program.
We may not be able to negotiate additional collaborations on acceptable terms,
if at all. If we are not able to establish additional collaborative
arrangements, we may have to reduce or delay further development of some of our
programs and/or increase our expenditures and undertake the development
activities at our own expense. If we elect to increase our capital expenditures
to fund development programs on our own, we will need to obtain additional
capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

If physicians and patients do not accept our products, we may be unable to
generate significant revenue, if any.
Even if our products obtain regulatory approval, our products, if any, may not
gain market acceptance among physicians, patients and the medical community
which would limit our ability to generate revenue and would adversely affect
our results of operations. The degree of market acceptance of any product
depends on a number of factors, including:

 .   demonstration of clinical efficacy and safety;

 .   cost effectiveness;

 .   convenience and ease of administration;

 .   potential advantages over alternative treatment methods; and

 .   marketing and distribution support.

Physicians will not recommend our products until clinical data or other factors
demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our products as compared to other
treatments. In practice, competitors may be more effective in marketing their
drugs. Even if the clinical safety and efficacy of products developed from our
drug candidates is established, physicians may elect not to recommend these
products for a variety of factors, including the reimbursement policies of
government and third party payors.

Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare drugs is uncertain and
failure to obtain adequate reimbursement could limit our ability to market any
products we may develop and decrease our ability to generate revenue.
There is significant uncertainty related to the reimbursement of newly approved
pharmaceutical products. Our ability and the ability of our collaborators to
commercialize products developed from our drug candidates in both domestic and
foreign markets will depend in part on the reimbursements, if any, obtained
from third-party payors such as government health administration authorities,
private health insurers, managed care programs and other organizations.
Third-party payors are increasingly attempting to contain healthcare costs by
limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement of new pharmaceutical
products. Cost control initiatives could decrease the price that we, or our
collaborators, would receive for products developed from our drug candidates
and affect our ability to commercialize any products we may develop. If third
parties fail to provide reimbursement for any drugs, we may develop, consumers
and doctors may not choose to use products developed from our drug candidates,
and we may not realize an acceptable return on our investment in product
development.

We may be unable to raise additional capital or generate the significant
revenues necessary to expand our operations and invest in new products.
It might be necessary for us to raise additional capital over the next few
years to continue our research and development efforts and to commercialize our
products. We believe that the proceeds from this offering and projected
revenues from collaborations should be sufficient to fund our anticipated
levels of operations for the next 24 months. However, we cannot assure you that
our business or operations will not change in a manner that would consume
available resources more rapidly than anticipated. We also cannot assure you
that we will continue to receive payments under existing collaborative
arrangements or that existing or potential future collaborations will be
adequate to fund our operations. We may need additional funds sooner than
planned to meet operational needs and capital requirements for product
development and commercialization. We cannot assure you that additional funds
will be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us. If adequate funds
are not available, we may have to reduce substantially or eliminate
expenditures for the development and production of certain of our proposed
products or obtain funds through arrangements with our corporate collaborators
that require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or
products. Either of these alternatives could have a material adverse effect on
our business, operating results, financial condition and future growth
prospects.

Our competitors may develop and market drugs that are less expensive, more
effective, or safer, which may diminish or eliminate the commercial success of
any products we may commercialize.
The biopharmaceutical market is highly competitive. Our competitors may:

 .   adapt more quickly to new technologies and scientific advances;

 .   initiate or withstand substantial price competition more successfully than
    we can;

 .   have greater success in recruiting skilled scientific workers from the
    limited pool of available talent;

 .   more effectively negotiate third-party licensing and collaboration
    arrangements; and

 .   take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily than we
    can.

Almost all of the larger biopharmaceutical companies have developed, or are
attempting to develop, products that will compete with products that may be
developed from our drug candidates.

It is possible that our competitors will develop and market products that are
less expensive and more effective than our future products or that will render
our products obsolete. It is also possible that our

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12



Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

competitors will commercialize competing products before any products developed
from our drug candidates are marketed. We expect that the competition from
other biopharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical companies, universities and
public and private research institutions will increase. Many of our competitors
have substantially greater financial, technical, research and other resources
than we do. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or
marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully.

We expect intense competition in our targeted markets, which could render our
products obsolete or substantially limit the volume of products that we sell.
We are aware of other companies that are developing products that may be
competitive to ours. We anticipate that we will face increased competition in
the future as new companies enter the market and advanced technologies emerge.
Rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customer
needs, emerging competition and new product introductions characterize the
markets for products developed from our drug candidates. One or more of our
competitors may render our technology obsolete or uneconomical by advances in
existing technological approaches or the development of different approaches.
Many of these competitors have greater financial resources and personnel and
more experience in research and development than we have. Furthermore, we
cannot assure you that the pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies which
will be our potential customers or our strategic partners will not develop
products that compete with our technology, either internally or in
collaboration with others.

If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property, third
parties may use our technology, which could impair our ability to compete in
our markets.
Our continued success will depend significantly on our ability to obtain and
maintain meaningful patent protection for our drug candidates throughout the
world. We rely on patents to protect a significant part of our intellectual
property and to enhance our competitive position. However, our presently
pending and future patent applications may not issue as patents, and any patent
issued to us may be challenged, invalidated, held unenforceable or
circumvented. Furthermore, the claims in patents which have been issued to us,
or which may be issued to us in the future, may not be sufficiently broad to
prevent third parties from producing competing products. In addition, the laws
of various foreign countries in which we compete may not protect our
intellectual property to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
If we fail to obtain adequate patent protection for our proprietary technology,
our ability to compete would be impaired.

In addition to patent protection, we also rely on protection of trade secrets,
know-how and confidential and proprietary information. To maintain the
confidentiality of trade secrets and proprietary information, we generally seek
to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and
collaborators upon the commencement of a relationship with us. However, we may
not obtain these agreements in all circumstances. In the event of unauthorized
use or disclosure of our trade secrets or proprietary information, these
agreements, even if obtained, may not provide meaningful protection for our
trade secrets or other confidential information. In addition, adequate remedies
may not exist in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of this
information. The loss or exposure of our trade secrets and other proprietary
information would impair our competitive advantages and could have a material
adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and future growth
prospects. Furthermore, others may have developed, or may develop in the
future, substantially similar or superior know-how and technology.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             13



Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents which could be
expensive and time consuming.
In order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate patent
litigation against third parties or we may be similarly sued by others. We may
also become subject to interference proceedings conducted in the patent and
trademark offices of various countries to determine the priority of inventions.
The defense and prosecution, if necessary, of intellectual property suits,
interference proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings is
costly and diverts our technical and management personnel from their normal
responsibilities. We may not prevail in any of these suits. An adverse
determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put our patents at
risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put our patent
applications at risk of not being issued.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in
connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of
our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this
type of litigation. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation,
there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or
other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors
perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse
effect on the trading price of our common stock.

Our success depends on our ability to operate without infringing or
misappropriating the proprietary rights of others.
Our success depends on avoiding the infringement of other parties' patents and
proprietary rights as well as avoiding the breach of any licenses relating to
our technologies and products. Given that there may be patents of which we are
unaware, particularly in the United States where patent applications are
confidential, avoiding patent infringement may be difficult. Various third
parties hold patents which may relate to our technology, and we may be found to
infringe these or other patents or proprietary rights of third parties, either
with products we are currently developing or with new products which we may
develop in the future. If a third party holding rights under a patent
successfully asserts an infringement claim with respect to any of our current
or future products or drug candidates, we may be prevented from manufacturing
or marketing our infringing product in the country or countries covered by the
patent we infringe, unless we can obtain a license from the patent holder. We
may not be able to obtain the license on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all, especially if the patent holder is a competitor. In addition, even if we
can obtain the license, it may be non-exclusive, which will permit others to
use the same technology licensed to us. We also may be required to pay
substantial damages to the patent holder in the event of an infringement. Under
some circumstances in the United States, these damages could be triple the
actual damages the patent holder incurs. If we have supplied infringing
products to third parties for marketing or licensed third parties to
manufacture, use or market infringing products, we may be obligated to
indemnify these third parties for any damages they may be required to pay to
the patent holder and for any losses the third parties may sustain themselves
as the result of lost sales or damages paid to the patent holder. Any
successful infringement action brought against us may also adversely affect
marketing of the infringing product in other markets not covered by the
infringement action, as well as our marketing of other products based on
similar technology. Furthermore, we may suffer adverse consequences from a
successful infringement action against us even if the action is subsequently
reversed on appeal, nullified through another action or resolved by settlement
with the patent holder. The damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may be
significant. As a result, any successful infringement action against us may
harm our business operating results, financial condition and future growth
prospects.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We depend on our key personnel, the loss of any of whom would impair our
ability to compete.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our senior
management and key scientific and technical personnel. We only carry key person
life insurance on Peter G. Savas, our chief executive officer and president and
Donald A. McAfee, our chief technical officer. The loss of the services of any
member of our senior management, scientific or technical staff may
significantly delay or prevent the achievement of product development and other
business objectives and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition. We also rely on consultants and
advisors to assist us in formulating our research and development strategy. All
of our consultants and advisors are either self-employed or employed by other
organizations, and they may have other commitments such as consulting or
advisory contracts with other organizations that may affect their ability to
contribute to us. Our future success will also depend on our ability to
identify, recruit and retain additional qualified scientific, technical and
managerial personnel. There is currently a shortage of skilled executives and
intense competition for such personnel in the areas of our activities, and we
cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to attract and retain
personnel with the advanced qualifications necessary for the development of our
business. The inability to attract and retain the necessary scientific,
technical and managerial personnel could have a material adverse effect upon
our business, operating results, financial condition and future growth
prospects.

We have no manufacturing capacity and depend on third parties to manufacture
our products.
We do not currently operate manufacturing facilities for clinical or commercial
production of our drug candidates under development. We have no experience in
manufacturing, and we currently lack resources and capability to manufacture
any of our drug candidates on a clinical or commercial scale. As a result, we
are dependent on corporate collaborators, licensees or other third parties for
the manufacturing of clinical and commercial scale quantities of our drug
candidates. We cannot be certain that these third parties will successfully be
able to manufacture our drug candidates on a commercial scale. In addition, in
the event of a natural disaster, equipment failure, power failure, strike or
other difficulty, we may be unable to replace our third party manufacturers in
a timely manner.

We have no marketing or sales staff, and if we are unable to enter into
collaborations with marketing partners or if we are unable to develop our own
sales and marketing capability, we may not be successful in commercializing our
products.
We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capability. As a result,
we will depend on collaborations with third parties which have established
distribution systems and direct sales forces. To the extent that we enter into
co-promotion or other licensing arrangements, our revenues will depend upon the
efforts of third parties, over which we may have little or no control.

If we are unable to reach and maintain agreement with one or more
pharmaceutical companies or collaborators, we may be required to market our
products directly. We may elect to establish our own specialized sales force
and marketing organization to market our products to physicians. In order to do
this, we would have to develop a marketing and sales force with technical
expertise and with supporting distribution capability. Developing a marketing
and sales force is expensive and time consuming and could delay a product
launch. We cannot be certain that we will be able to develop this capacity.

We may be subject to product liability claims and may not be able to obtain
adequate insurance.
Once we have commercially launched our products, we will face exposure to
product liability claims. Any product liability claims arising in the future,
regardless of merit or eventual outcome, could have a material adverse effect
on our business, operating results, financial condition and future growth
prospects. We intend to secure limited product liability insurance coverage,
but we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such insurance on
acceptable terms with adequate coverage, or at

                                                                             15



Risk factors

reasonable costs. In addition, potential product liability claims may exceed
the amount of our insurance or may be excluded from coverage under the terms of
the policy. There is also a risk that third parties that we have agreed to
indemnify could incur liability.

Since we conduct clinical trials on humans, we face the risk that the use of
our drug candidates will result in adverse effects. These risks will exist even
for products developed from our drug candidates that may be cleared for
commercial sale. We cannot predict all of the possible harms or side effects
that may result and, therefore, the amount of insurance coverage we currently
hold may not be adequate to protect us from all liabilities. We may not have
sufficient resources to pay for any liabilities resulting from a claim beyond
the limit of our insurance coverage.

Our research and development operations involve hazardous materials, which
could subject us to significant liability.
Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of hazardous
materials, including hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials.
Accordingly, we are subject to federal, state and local laws governing the use,
handling and disposal of these materials. We may incur significant costs to
comply with additional environmental and health and safety regulations in the
future. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and
disposing of hazardous materials comply with regulatory requirements, we cannot
eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials.
In the event of an accident or environmental discharge, we may be held liable
for any resulting damages, which may exceed our financial resources and may
materially adversely affect our business operating results, financial condition
and future growth prospects.

We may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, and these difficulties
could increase our losses.
We expect to have significant growth in the number of our employees and the
scope of our operations. Continued growth may place a significant strain on our
managerial, operational and financial resources. To manage our anticipated
growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational
and financial systems, to expand our facilities and to continue to recruit and
train additional qualified personnel. We cannot assure you that that we will be
able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or recruit and train
additional qualified personnel and that our systems, procedures or controls
will be adequate to support our operations. Any inability to manage growth
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results,
financial condition and future growth prospects.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and
principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant
corporate decisions.
Following the completion of this offering, our executive officers, directors
and their affiliates will beneficially own or control approximately   percent
of the outstanding shares of our common stock (after giving effect to the
conversion of all outstanding preferred stock and the exercise of all
outstanding vested and unvested options and warrants). Accordingly, our current
executive officers, directors and their affiliates will have substantial
control over the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval,
including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all
or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate
transactions. The concentration of ownership may also delay or prevent a change
of control of us at a premium price if these stockholders oppose it. See
"Management" and "Principal stockholders" for details on our capital stock
ownership.

Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Management may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways in which
you may not agree and in ways that may not yield a return to our stockholders.
Management will retain broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this
offering. Stockholders may not deem such uses desirable, and our use of the
proceeds may not yield a significant return or any return at all for our
stockholders. Management intends to use a majority of the proceeds from this
offering for research and development, working capital and other general
corporate purposes, and potentially to finance future acquisitions. Because of
the number and variability of factors that determine our use of the proceeds
from this offering, we cannot assure you that these uses will not vary
substantially from our currently planned uses. Pending our use of the proceeds
from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this offering in
interest-bearing securities of investment grade.

If we engage in any acquisition, we will incur a variety of costs, and we may
never realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
We currently have no commitments or agreements with respect to any material
acquisitions. However, if appropriate opportunities become available, we may
attempt to acquire businesses, technologies, services or products that we
believe are a strategic fit with our business. If we do undertake any
transaction of this sort, the process of integrating an acquired business,
technology, service or product may result in unforeseen operating difficulties
and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would
otherwise be available for ongoing development of our business. Moreover, we
may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition. Future
acquisitions could reduce your ownership percentage in us and could cause us to
incur debt, expose us to future liabilities and result in amortization expenses
related to intangible assets.

In addition, recent changes in the Financial Accounting Standards Board rules
for merger accounting may affect the cost of making acquisitions or of being
acquired. For example, we would likely have to record intangible assets that we
would amortize to earnings if we merge with another company. Such amortization
would adversely impact our future operating results. Further, accounting rule
changes that reduce the availability of write-offs of the value of in-process
research and development in connection with an acquisition could result in the
capitalization and amortization of these amounts which would negatively impact
results of operations in future periods.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile, and you may not be
able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.
There has not been a public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you
that an active trading market for our common stock will develop following this
offering. You may not be able sell your shares quickly or at the market price
if trading in our common stock is not active. The initial public offering price
for the shares will be determined by negotiations between us and
representatives of the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that
will prevail in the trading market. Please see "Underwriting" for more
information regarding our arrangement with the underwriters and the factors
considered in setting the initial public offering price.

The trading price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could
be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, many
of which are beyond our control, including:

 .   actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

 .   announcements of technological innovations by us, our collaborators or our
    competitors;

 .   new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors;

Risk factors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 .   changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

 .   conditions or trends in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries;

 .   changes in the market valuations of similar companies;

 .   announcements by us of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships,
    joint ventures or capital commitments;

 .   additions or departures of our key personnel;

 .   disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including
    patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for
    our technologies;

 .   the loss of a significant collaborator;

 .   developments concerning our collaborations; and

 .   sales of our common stock.

In addition, the stock market in general, the Nasdaq National Market and the
market for technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to
the operating performance of those companies. Further, there has been
particular volatility in the market prices of securities of biotechnology and
life sciences companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously
harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating
performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market,
securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies.
Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs
and diversion of management's attention and resources, which could materially
harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and future growth
prospects.

New investors in our common stock will experience immediate and substantial
dilution.
The offering price of our common stock will be substantially higher than the
net tangible book value per share of our existing capital stock. As a result,
purchasers of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate and
substantial dilution of $   in net tangible book value per share of common
stock, based on an assumed public offering price of $   per share. Those
purchasers will experience additional dilution upon the exercise of outstanding
stock options and warrants. See "Dilution" for a more detailed discussion of
the dilution new investors will incur in this offering.

The large number of shares eligible for sale following this offering may
depress the market price of our common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public
market following this offering could cause the market price to decline. Such
sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the
future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. After this offering,
we will have          shares of common stock outstanding. If there are more
shares of our common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase,
then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which
buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares and sellers remain willing to
sell the shares. The number of shares of our common stock available for sale in
the public market is limited by restrictions under federal securities laws and
under lock-up agreements that our stockholders have entered into with the
underwriters. Except in limited circumstances, those lock-up agreements restrict
our stockholders from selling, pledging or otherwise disposing of their shares
for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior
written consent of UBS Warburg LLC. However, UBS Warburg LLC may, in its sole
discretion, release all or any portion of the common stock from the restrictions
of the lock-up agreements. The following table indicates approximately when the
shares of

We do not expect to pay dividends.
We presently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion
of our business and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may make an
acquisition of us more difficult.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may make an
acquisition of us more difficult. These provisions:

 .   allow the authorized number of directors to be changed only by resolution
    of the board of directors;

 .   establish a classified board of directors requiring that not all members of
    the board be elected at one time;

 .   require that stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called
    stockholder meeting and prohibit stockholder action by written consent;

 .   authorize our board of directors to issue blank check preferred stock
    without stockholder approval which, if issued, would increase the number of
    outstanding shares of our capital stock;

 .   establish advance notice requirements for nominations to the board of
    directors or for proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings; and

 .   limit who may call stockholder meetings.

In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the
provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which may
prohibit large stockholders from consummating a merger with or acquisition of
us. These provisions may prevent a merger or acquisition that would be
attractive to stockholders and could limit the price that investors would be
willing to pay for our common stock in the future.

Special note regarding forward-looking statements

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial
performance. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by
terminology including "anticipates," "believes," "can," "continue," "could,"
"estimates," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans," "potential," "predicts,"
"should" or "will" or the negative of these terms or other comparable
terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined
under "Risk factors," that may cause our or our industry's actual results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from
any future results, levels or activity, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking

Use of proceeds

Our net proceeds from the sale of     shares of our common stock in this
offering are estimated to be $   million ($   million if the underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full) assuming an initial public offering
price of $   per share and after deducting the underwriting discounts and
commissions and our estimated offering expenses. We intend to use a significant
portion of the proceeds of the offering primarily to fund our research and
development activities, including clinical trials, acquisition of additional
potential in-licensing candidates, working capital and other general corporate
purposes. We may also use a portion of the proceeds for the acquisition of, or
investment in, businesses, technologies, services or products that complement
our business. Currently, we have no present understandings, commitments or
agreements to enter into any potential acquisitions and investments.

The amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on many factors
including the timing, extent, cost and progress of clinical trials, the costs
and success of manufacturing drug substances, and opportunities for
in-licensing technologies and compounds. Until the funds are used as described
above, we intend to invest the proceeds of the offering in interest-bearing,
investment grade securities.

Dividend policy

The payment of dividends is within the discretion of our board of directors.
Our ability to pay any future dividends will depend on our earnings, operating
and financial condition and projected capital requirements. We have not
declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock since inception. We
currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of
our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.

Capitalization

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2001:

 .   on an actual basis; and

 .   on a pro forma as adjusted basis reflecting the conversion of all
    outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock into common stock upon
    the closing of this offering, the issuance of 222,334 shares of common
    stock issuable to the former shareholders of Renalogics, the charge of $
    related to the issuance of these shares to the former shareholders of
    Renalogics and the sale of the   shares of common stock offered by us at an
    assumed initial public offering price of $  per share, less the
    underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses and
    the receipt of the net proceeds of the offering.

Dilution

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to
the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per
share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value of our
common stock immediately after completion of this offering. Pro forma net
tangible book value per share is equal to the amount of our total tangible
assets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities, divided by
the pro forma number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of September
30, 2001 after giving effect to the conversion of all shares of our convertible
preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 2001 upon the closing of this
offering and the issuance of 222,334 shares of common stock to the shareholders
of Renalogics upon the closing of this offering. The pro forma net tangible
book value of our common stock as of September 30, 2001 was approximately $40.5
million, or approximately $4.76 per share. Assuming the sale of the shares of
our common stock offered by this prospectus at an assumed initial public
offering price of $  per share and after deducting underwriting discounts and
the estimated offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value as of
September 30, 2001 would have been $  , or $  per share of our common stock.
This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $
 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net
tangible book value of $  per share to new investors. The following table
illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

      investors......................................................
   Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering...     $
   Pro forma dilution per share to new investors.....................     $


The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis as described above as of
September 30, 2001, the total number of shares of common stock purchased from
us, the total consideration paid to us and the average price per share paid by
existing stockholders and by new investors purchasing shares in this offering.
We have assumed an initial public offering price of $  per share, and we have
not deducted estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses in our calculations.

The foregoing discussion and tables assume no exercise of any outstanding stock
options or warrants. The exercise of all options and warrants outstanding as of
September 30, 2001 having an exercise price less than the offering price would
increase the dilutive effect to new investors to $  per share. See
"Capitalization," "Management--Employee benefit plans" and "Description of
capital stock."

Dilution
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment in full, the following will
occur:

 .   the number of shares of our common stock held by existing stockholders will
    decrease to approximately  % of the total number of shares of our common
    stock outstanding after this offering; and

 .   the number of shares of our common stock held by new investors will
    increase to     shares, or approximately  % of the total number of our
    common stock outstanding after this offering.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations

You should read the following discussion of the financial condition and results
of our operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to
those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion in this
prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and
intentions. The cautionary statements made in this prospectus should be read as
applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this
prospectus. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed
here. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those
discussed in "Risk factors," as well as those discussed elsewhere. See "Risk
factors" and "Special note regarding forward-looking statements."

OVERVIEW

We were formed in 1994 to develop small-molecule drugs that act selectively on
subtypes of dopamine and adenosine receptors. We began operations by acquiring
the pharmaceutical research programs of Whitby Research, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Ethyl Corp. In 1999, we acquired Renalogics, Inc., a development
stage company that had funded two early stage research programs at Emory
University.

To date, our revenues have consisted primarily of license fees, milestone
payments and other fees pursuant to product license and development agreements
between us and our corporate collaborators. Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
101, issued in December 1999, requires companies to recognize certain up-front
nonrefundable fees and milestone payments over the life of the related contract
alliance when such fees are received in conjunction with alliances that have
multiple elements. We have entered into development agreements for three of our
drug candidates under which we license product rights to certain of our
compounds, for which we earn up-front license fees and on-going milestone
payments as our collaborators reach certain development milestones specified in
the contracts. Payments under these agreements are non-refundable. Each
contract calls for us to participate on an on-going basis in joint management
committees and potentially provide fee-based development assistance to our
collaborators. As a result of this on-going involvement on our part, we
recognize total fixed or determined contract revenues on a straight-line basis
over the development period set forth in the contract adjusted from time to
time for any delays in development or clinical trials of the compound. Most of
our contracts can be canceled by our collaborators at any time, allowing our
collaborators to avoid the payment of future fees. Therefore, we do not
recognize revenues ahead of actual cash received. Any royalty payments provided
for in our contracts are recognized in the period in which they are earned.
Deferred revenues consist of payments received in advance of revenues
recognized under these agreements. Revenues have varied and will likely vary in
the future from period to period due principally to the timing of milestone
payments and the progress towards attainment of development milestones by our
collaborators.

Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and related
expenses for personnel and consulting services. Other research and development
expenses include fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, as
well as the costs of materials used in screening and research and development.
We charge all research and development expenses to operations as incurred.

Selling and general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries
and related expenses for personnel in business development, administration,
finance, accounting and human resources. Other costs include facility costs and
professional fees for legal and accounting services.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Royalty expense consists of charges related to our in-licensing of the
compounds and related technologies for our product candidates. These charges
are typically incurred under our various agreements for purchased and
in-licensed technology when we receive payments from our product candidates
which incorporate technology covered under such agreements. These charges are
computed as a percentage of the license fees, milestone payments and on-going
royalties, if any, received by us related to our product candidates. The
amounts and term of these obligations vary by product candidate.

Write-off of purchased technology consists of a charge related to the
impairment of the value of technology purchased in connection with our
acquisition of Renalogics. Due to the impairment of this purchased technology,
we will expense the value of the additional 222,334 shares to be issued to the
former Renalogics shareholders, to be issued upon the successful closing of the
proposed initial public offering.

We have granted stock options to employees and non-employees at prices, which
for financial reporting purposes, are deemed below fair market value on the
dates of grant. As a result, we have recorded deferred compensation expense,
which represents, in the case of employees, the difference between the option
exercise price and the deemed fair value of our common stock. In the case of
non-employees, deferred compensation represents the fair market value of the
options granted, computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

Revenues
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 decreased $0.8 million to
$1.6 million from $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The decrease is attributable to lower milestone payments received by us due to
a delay in commencement of Phase III clinical testing of Rotigotine-CDS by
Schwarz Pharma.

Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
increased $0.2 million to $4.0 million from $3.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. The net increase is attributable to approximately
$1.3 million in increased spending on clinical testing, $0.3 million of
non-clinical testing costs and $0.4 million of expenses associated with
increased staffing and the addition of a chief medical officer. The increases
were offset by a reduction of $0.3 million in amortization of capitalized
technology costs associated with the acquisition of Renalogics and
approximately $1.5 million of costs for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 related to license fees paid for acquired technology, which were fully
expensed by December 31, 2000. We expect research and development expenses to
continue to increase in the future as more of our drug candidates progress into
clinical trials.

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.7 million to
$2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $1.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase is attributable to our
investment in development of the administrative infrastructure necessary to
enable us to expand our operations, support our development efforts and
facilitate the additional reporting and regulatory requirements of a public
company. The increase is primarily composed of $0.8 million of accounting and
legal costs incurred to expand accounting control systems, implement new
revenue recognition rules for prior years and to prepare for a public offering,

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             27



Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$0.5 million in increased salary expense associated with the addition of a new
chief executive officer and chief commercial officer and $0.2 million of
increased travel and consulting expenses. It is expected that general and
administrative expenses will continue to trend upwards as we expand our
management staff and make further investment in information technology
resources to support our growth.

Stock based compensation
Stock based compensation increased approximately $2.2 million to $2.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and reflects $1.1 million of
amortization of deferred stock compensation in connection with the grant of
stock options primarily to our officers, directors and other employees, $0.7
million in connection with accelerated vesting for certain former members of
our board of directors, $0.2 million related to the cashless exercise of
options by a former member of management and $0.1 million related to option
grants to non-employees.

Net interest income
Net interest income increased approximately $0.5 million to $0.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $0.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, attributable to increased cash balances resulting
from the sale of Series D preferred stock in 2001.

Years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999

Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 decreased by $3.9 million to $3.0
million from $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This decrease
was attributable to a $1.6 million acceleration of previously deferred revenues
recognized in the year ended December 31, 1999 associated with the termination
of an agreement with one of our collaborators during 1999 as well as lower
milestone payments pursuant to our contracts with other collaborators pending
the attainment of additional development milestones by them.

Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses increased approximately $0.4 million to $5.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $4.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999. This increase was attributable to $0.4 million of
increased clinical trial expenses and related travel associated with DTI-0009,
a charge of $1.5 million related to license fees paid for acquired technology
and $0.2 million of amortization of capitalized purchased technology associated
with the acquisition of Renalogics. These increases were offset in part by the
completion in the year ended December 31, 1999 of certain toxicology and
associated pre-clinical testing and manufacturing costs of DTI-0017 and
DTI-0009 resulting in $1.9 million in reduced expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2000.

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000
increased $1.2 million to $2.0 million from $0.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to increased
personnel costs of $0.5 million related to new employees including a new chief
executive officer, in September 2000, increased travel and associated costs of
$0.1 million as well as increased investor relations and legal costs of $0.2
million and increased professional fees of $0.2 million associated with the
outsourcing of our accounting function.

Royalty expense
Royalty expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 decreased $0.2 million to
$0.0 million from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
decrease is a result of reduction in royalty bearing milestone payments
received by us during the year ended December 31, 2000.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Write-off of purchased technology
Write-offs of purchased technology totaled $0.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000 and resulted from our determination that the value of
technology purchased in connection with our acquisition of Renalogics was
impaired. We are required to issue an additional 103,664 shares of our common
stock and 118,670 shares of our Series B preferred stock to the former
shareholders of Renalogics upon the closing of an underwritten initial public
offering.

Net interest income
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased $0.2 million
to $0.2 million from $0.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
increase is due to increased cash balances from cash receipts from corporate
collaborators and a reduction in interest expense due to the conversion of
certain notes payable to shareholders to Series B preferred stock in 1999.

Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998

Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 our revenues increased $3.7
million to $6.9 million from $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The increase is due to a $1.6 million acceleration of revenue, previously
deferred, associated with the termination of an agreement with one of our
collaborators during 1999 and revenues recognized as a result of license fees
and milestone payments pursuant to new contracts entered into in late 1998 and
mid 1999 with Schwarz Pharma and Fujisawa Healthcare, respectively.

Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999
increased approximately $3.2 million to $4.7 million from $1.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in 1999 was attributable primarily
to expenses associated with the commencement of clinical trials of DTI-0009 and
DTI-0017. Specifically the increases consisted of $1.6 million in toxicology
testing, $0.5 million of third party manufacturing costs, clinical trial costs
of $0.4 million and staff related expenses of $0.3 million. In addition, in
1999 we incurred approximately $0.3 million of additional research and
consulting costs associated with the acquisition of Renalogics which were
partially offset by a reduction of $0.1 million in consulting expenses during
the same period.

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999
increased $0.1 million to $0.8 million from $0.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 due to increased legal expenses of approximately $0.1 million
associated with licensing negotiations and worldwide patent filing efforts for
Rotigotine-CDS, DTI-0009 and DTI-0017.

Royalty expense
Royalty expense for the year ended December 31, 1999 decreased $0.3 million to
$0.2 million from $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
decrease is a result of lower royalty bearing milestone payments received
during the year ended December 31, 1999.

Net interest income
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased $0.3 million
to $0.0 million from a net expense of $0.3 million for the year ended December
31, 1998. The increase is attributable to increased cash balances from the sale
of preferred stock in 1999 and a reduction of interest expense due to the
conversion of certain notes payable to shareholders to Series B preferred stock
in 1999.

                                                                             29



Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of

Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes primarily reflects foreign withholding taxes related
to the receipt by the company of licensing fees from foreign entity. This
agreement has subsequently been terminated and no further taxes have been
withheld.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private
placements of common stock and preferred stock as well as payments we received
under licensing agreements and loans. As of September 30, 2001, we had raised
aggregate net proceeds from loans and the sale of our common stock and
preferred stock of $56.3 million. In addition through September 30, 2001 we had
received $16.3 million from license fees, milestone payments and research
contracts.

Cash and cash equivalents were $41.3 million at September 30, 2001 compared to
$4.1 million at December 31, 2000. Net cash used for operating activities was
$6.1 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively. The increase from 2000 to 2001 consisted primarily of
operating expenses related to conducting clinical trials and other research,
development and administrative activities and the timing of cash payments
related to these activities.

Net cash used for investing activities was $0.3 million and $0.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively.
The increase from 2000 to 2001 was primarily related to the purchase of certain
computer equipment and analytical instrumentation. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $43.6 million and $5.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively. This increase
was primarily related to the greater net proceeds realized from the sale of our
Series D preferred stock in 2001 as compared to the sale of our Series C
preferred stock in 2000.

We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses. We believe that
existing capital resources together with the net proceeds of this offering and
interest income should be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the
next 24 months. This forecast is a forward-looking statement that involves
risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary. Our future capital
resources will depend on many factors, including:

 .   the timing, cost, extent and results of clinical trials;

 .   payments to third parties for manufacturing of clinical materials;

 .   the timing of receipt of milestone payments from our collaborators;

 .   the costs and timing of regulatory approvals;

 .   the progress of our research and development activities; and

 .   availability of technology in-licensing opportunities.

Until we can generate sufficient cash from our operations to sustain our
business, which we do not expect for the foreseeable future, we expect to
finance future cash needs through private and public financings, including
equity financings. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be
available when needed or on favorable terms. If funding is not available, we
may need to delay or curtail our development and commercialization activities
to a significant extent.

STOCK COMPENSATION

In connection with the grant of stock options to employees, we recorded
deferred compensation totaling $2.9 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000,
representing the difference between the exercise price and the deemed fair
value of our common stock for financial reporting purposes on the date those
options were granted. This amount is initially recorded as a component of
stockholders' equity and is being charged against income over the vesting
period of the individual options. We recorded deferred stock compensation
expense of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $0.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2000. At September 30, 2001, we had a
total of $2.8 million remaining to be amortized over the vesting periods of the
stock options.

We expect to record deferred stock compensation expense for options granted
through September 30, 2001, assuming no forfeitures, as follows:




                    Year                              Amount
                    -----------------------------------------
                                               
                    2001......................... $  459,000
                    2002.........................  1,275,000
                    2003.........................    673,000
                    2004.........................    308,000
                    2005.........................     54,000


In addition we expect to record additional deferred compensation for options
granted in November 2001, which will be amortized over the vesting periods of
these options.

In connection with option grants to non-employees, we recorded non-cash
compensation totaling $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2001 and $23,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. These charges primarily
relate to the acceleration in September 2001 of vesting of certain options and
restricted stock granted to board members totaling approximately $0.7 million.
The remaining charge related to the charge for options previously granted to
non-employees for which we are recording the charge over the vesting period of
the underlying options.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE REGARDING MARKET RISK

As of September 30, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $41.3 million
consisting of cash and highly liquid investments. Our exposure to market risk
relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest income we can
earn on our investment portfolio and on the increase or decrease in the amount
of any interest expense we must pay with respect to any outstanding debt
instruments. We currently have no long-term debt. We do not plan to invest in
derivative financial instruments.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations", and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires
that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 142 discusses how intangible
assets that are acquired should be accounted for in financial statements upon
their acquisition and also how goodwill and other intangible assets should be
accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial
statements. Beginning on January 1, 2002, with the adoption of SFAS No. 142,
goodwill and certain purchased intangibles existing on June 30, 2001 will no
longer be subject

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             31



Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to amortization over their estimated useful lives. Rather, the goodwill and
certain purchased intangibles will be subject to an annual assessment for
impairment based on fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 are required to
be adopted starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We do
not expect adoption of these statements to have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supersedes SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144
further refines the requirements of SFAS No. 121 that companies (1) recognize
an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not
recoverable based on its undiscounted future cash flows and (2) measure an
impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of

OVERVIEW

We are a biopharmaceutical company engaged in developing small molecule drugs
to treat central nervous system, cardiovascular and renal disorders. We
currently have four product candidates for five indications in development,
with one in Phase III clinical trials, three in Phase II clinical trials and
one that recently concluded its first Phase I clinical trial. We have entered
into collaboration agreements with Schwarz Pharma, King and Fujisawa
Healthcare. We focus on small molecule drug candidates that act selectively to
either block (antagonists) or increase (agonists) the activity of certain
proteins, such as receptors and enzymes that regulate important physiologic
functions. By developing compounds that selectively target single receptor
subtypes, we believe we can produce the desired therapeutic effect while
minimizing side effects often produced by less selective compounds. Small
molecules generally offer the dosing flexibility required for optimal patient
compliance, have a broader array of dosage forms, lend themselves to easier
formulation, have greater potential for absorption and utilization by the body
and are more efficiently manufactured than large molecule therapies, such as
proteins.

OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES

We currently have four product candidates for five indications in development:

 .   Our most advanced product candidate, Rotigotine-CDS, a dopamine D\\2\\
    receptor agonist, is formulated as a transdermal patch for first line
    treatment of early stage, and combination therapy for late stage
    Parkinson's disease, an age-related, neurodegenerative disorder.
    Parkinson's disease affects one million patients in the United States.
    Current therapy is limited by erratic patterns of drug release into the
    blood stream, causing patients to experience often debilitating
    fluctuations in symptoms. Rotigotine-CDS is a transdermal patch that is
    designed to provide a constant blood level of the drug over a 24-hour
    period, thereby minimizing daily symptoms and side effects associated with
    fluctuating levels of drug in the blood. Schwarz Pharma has an exclusive,
    worldwide license to develop and commercialize Rotigotine-CDS.
    Rotigotine-CDS is currently in Phase III clinical trials in the United
    States and Europe.

 .   Rotigotine-CDS has also been formulated as a reduced-dose patch for the
    treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome, a common, under-diagnosed neurologic
    movement disorder which studies indicate may affect up to 15% of the
    population. Patients with this disorder have an almost irresistible urge to
    move their legs because of disagreeable sensations associated with this
    syndrome. There are currently no medications approved for the treatment of
    Restless Legs Syndrome in the United States. Schwarz Pharma began
    development of Rotigotine-CDS reduced dose with a pilot, Phase II safety
    and efficacy clinical trial in late 2001 in Europe.

 .   MRE-470 is an adenosine A\\2A\\ agonist being developed as an alternative
    to exercise stress testing in combination with coronary artery flow imaging
    for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Because many patients can not
    perform the level of exercise necessary for an adequate study,
    approximately 1.8 million coronary blood flow imaging procedures are
    performed in the United States using a pharmacologic stress agent in lieu
    of exercise each year. Currently, the leading pharmacologic stress agent
    for imaging studies is adenosine. Our selective adenosine A\\2A\\ receptor
    agonist is designed to minimize the side effects of adenosine and can be
    delivered as a bolus injection rather than the continuous infusion required
    with adenosine. King has the exclusive, worldwide license to develop and
    commercialize MRE-470. MRE-470 is currently in Phase II clinical trials in
    the United States.

 .   DTI-0009 is an adenosine A\\1\\ agonist designed to control heart rate in
    atrial fibrillation by slowing conduction through the atrioventricular
    node. Atrial fibrillation is the most common of the cardiac arrhythmias, or
    abnormal heart rhythms, and affects approximately six million patients
    worldwide.  DTI-0009 is being developed as both an oral formulation for
    chronic and an intravenous

    formulation for acute therapy. Fujisawa Healthcare has the exclusive,
    clinical development and commercialization rights, in the United States and
    Canada, for the intravenous formulation of DTI-0009. The intravenous
    formulation of DTI-0009 is in Phase II clinical trials in the United States.

 .   DTI-0017 is an adenosine A\\1\\ antagonist designed to treat edema
    typically associated with congestive heart failure. Approximately 4.7
    million people in the United States suffer from congestive heart failure.
    DTI-0017 is being developed as both an oral formulation for chronic and an
    intravenous formulation for acute therapy. Our own studies and other
    published research suggest that adenosine A\\1\\ antagonists, such as
    DTI-0017, appear to act at a different site in the kidney from most
    diuretics, does not affect potassium balance, appear to prevent the
    decreased renal function seen with some other diuretics and may prevent the
    development of resistance to the diuretic effect occurring with some other
    agents. We have concluded our first Phase I clinical trial and are
    currently reformulating the product candidate and conducting additional
    animal testing.

Rotigotine-CDS. Once-a-day transdermal patch for treatment of Parkinson's
disease
Our most advanced product candidate, Rotigotine-CDS, a dopamine D\\2\\ receptor
agonist, is formulated as a transdermal patch for first line treatment of early
and combination therapy for late stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
Rotigotine-CDS is currently in Phase III clinical trials. We believe that
Rotigotine-CDS has significant potential to alleviate the symptoms and improve
the quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Market opportunity
Parkinson's disease is an age-related, neurodegenerative disorder affecting an
estimated one million patients in the United States today. Recent US Census
Bureau projections indicate that the aging of the population will result in a
substantial increase in the number of at-risk individuals in the coming
decades, leading to an increase in the prevalence of the disease. Approximately
$2 billion is spent annually on drug therapy worldwide to treat this disease.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Medical need
Parkinson's disease patients cannot produce sufficient quantities of dopamine
to stimulate the dopamine receptors in the brain. Stimulation of these dopamine
receptors is necessary for people to move normally. Pharmacologic therapies for
Parkinson's disease focus on stimulation of the dopamine D\\2\\ receptor in the
brain, thought to be the most active receptor in mediating movement. Patients
cannot be treated directly with dopamine because it does not penetrate into the
brain. Levodopa, or L-dopa, a common treatment for Parkinson's disease, must be
converted by the brain cells into dopamine to be effective. Because this
conversion takes place in the very nerve cells that are degenerating as a
result of the disease, L-dopa's long-term usefulness is limited. In addition,
patients must take multiple daily doses and long-term use is often accompanied
by worsening movement fluctuations, neuropsychiatric complications and
dyskinesias, or uncontrolled body movements.

An alternate approach is to give the patient a substitute compound for dopamine
that acts by stimulating the D\\2\\ receptors, like dopamine, but does not have
to be converted by the body into dopamine. Significant clinical success has
been achieved using selective dopamine receptor agonists, but this success has
been constrained by the method of drug administration. To date, these products
are usually delivered orally, producing a very uneven pattern of drug release
in the blood stream, causing patients to experience fluctuations in symptoms
far more frequently than desired. The optimum range of therapeutic drug levels
in Parkinson's disease patients is very narrow. Therefore, patients require a
dosage form of the dopamine D\\2\\ agonist that results in a continuous, 24
hour therapeutic blood level of the drug to achieve optimal results. Recent
studies have shown success treating the complications of L-dopa therapy by
giving continuous infusions of dopamine agonists.

Our product candidate
We have developed Rotigotine-CDS as a small molecule dopamine D\\2\\ agonist
that is readily deliverable through the skin. We formulated this molecule into
a transdermal patch that we believe enables delivery of a constant dose of drug
over a 24 hour period, allowing patients to minimize daily symptoms and side
effects. In addition, unlike currently available therapies, we believe that
most patients treated with Rotigotine-CDS will be able to wake up every day
with minimal symptoms. We also believe it is easier for patients to use a
once-a-day transdermal patch therapy rather than an oral medication regimen
requiring dosing multiple times a day.

We completed a double blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial for
this drug at nine major Parkinson disease centers in North America, which
demonstrated statistically significant efficacy. Based on these data and our
pre-clinical toxicology data, we entered into collaboration with Schwarz Pharma
in July 1998 to complete worldwide development and commercialization of
Rotigotine-CDS. The agreement provides for license fees and milestone payments
and royalty rates based on product sales.

Using a reformulated version of our original compound, Schwarz Pharma has
completed additional multi-center Phase II trials of the patch in both North
America with early stage patients and in Europe with late stage patients. Based
on the data from these trials, Schwarz Pharma received clearance from both the
FDA and the European regulatory authorities to proceed to Phase III clinical
trials, which commenced in late 2001.

Rotigotine-CDS Reduced Dose. Transdermal patch for treatment of Restless Legs
Syndrome
Rotigotine-CDS has also been formulated as a reduced-dose patch for the
treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome. Restless Legs Syndrome is a common
neurologic movement disorder in which patients suffer an almost irresistible
urge to move their legs because of disagreeable sensations, and is usually
worse at rest. Schwarz Pharma started a pilot, Phase II safety and efficacy
clinical trial for Rotigotine-CDS in late

                                                                             35



Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2001 in Europe. We believe Rotigotine-CDS has significant potential to
alleviate the symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients with
Restless Legs Syndrome.

Market opportunity
Restless Legs Syndrome can be described as a compelling urge to move the limbs,
usually associated with abnormal sensations and causing chronic sleep
deprivation. The stress often associated with sleep complaints can adversely
affect occupational activities, social activities and family life. The
unpleasant sensations may be described like worms or bugs crawling under the
skin and are often worse at rest. Studies have indicated that as much as 15% of
the population may experience symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome and, although
the prevalence increases with age, 30% to 40% of patients with severe symptoms
had their first symptoms before the age of 20.

Medical need
There are currently no medications approved for the treatment of Restless Legs
Syndrome in the United States, although dopaminergic agents are first line
therapy for "off-label" use. L-dopa is effective, but as many as 80% of
patients may develop worsening of symptoms from its chronic use. Small, usually
uncontrolled trials suggests that a transdermally administered dopamine D\\2\\
agonist, like Rotigotine-CDS, would produce a similar therapeutic effect
without the side effects associated with oral dopamine use. The doses of these
classes of drugs is usually much lower than the dose required to treat
Parkinson's disease. Other classes of medications used include opioids,
benzodiazepine sedatives, anticonvulsants, the antihypertensive clonadine, and
iron replacement.

MRE-470. Blood vessel dilator for cardiac imaging
MRE-470 is an adenosine A\\2A\\ agonist used as an alternative to exercise
prior to cardiac flow imaging for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. It
is formulated to be administered by bolus injection rather than the continuous
infusion required with adenosine. MRE-470 begins to work quickly and provides
sustained coronary blood vessel dilation for 15 to 20 minutes, permitting the
physician adequate time to complete the diagnostic imaging. MRE-470 is
currently in Phase II clinical trials.

Market opportunity
Cardiac stress tests are performed on people who may have coronary artery
disease because they have experienced certain symptoms, including chest pain,
shortness of breath or irregular heartbeats. Generally, during a cardiac stress
test, the patient's physical condition and heart function is monitored through
electrocardiogram leads placed on the chest. In addition, for many patients,
the physician needs to examine the flow of blood to the heart to improve the
usefulness of the test. These tests, called perfusion imaging cardiac stress
tests, provide an image of the blood flow to the various parts of the heart.
For the test to yield the best possible images, the patient's coronary vessels
must be fully dilated prior to injection of the imaging agent, generally
through the use of exercise. Approximately 1.8 million of these tests require a
pharmacological stress agent rather than exercise because patients receiving
the test cannot tolerate the required level of exercise as a result of age,
disease or infirmity.

Medical need
Currently, the leading blood vessel dilator for cardiac perfusion imaging
studies is adenosine. Because adenosine is eliminated from the blood stream in
approximately ten seconds, the drug must be given with a special syringe pump
as an intravenous infusion over six minutes. Adenosine causes coronary blood
vessel dilation through stimulation of the A\\2A\\ receptor. However, adenosine
has serious side effects, such as severe slowing of the heart rate, chest pain,
hypotension and wheezing. These side effects arise, for the most part, from the
actions of adenosine on receptors other than the A\\2A\\ subtype.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

36



Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Our product candidate
MRE-470 is designed to be a highly selective adenosine A\\2A\\ receptor agonist
which may minimize adenosine side effects of slowing heart rate, chest pain,
hypotension or wheezing. In addition, it can be administered as a bolus
injection that will make it easier to use than adenosine. MRE-470 may also be
useful with the new contrast agents used in flow imaging with echocardiography.

In pre-clinical in-vivo studies in animals, we demonstrated that MRE-470 is
useful in imaging coronary blood flow. Based on these data, we entered into a
collaboration agreement with King. Under the terms of the agreement, King has
an exclusive license to market and sell our adenosine A\\2A\\ agonists for use
in cardiac imaging, either directly or through a sub-licensee. In return, the
agreement provides for license fees and milestone payments and royalty rates
based on product sales. In addition, we retain co-development and co-marketing
rights for therapeutic applications of our A\\2A\\ compounds, except for
MRE-470.

King is conducting a series of Phase II clinical trials of MRE-470 examining
dose response to the drug, potential side effects and vasodilatory effects of
the drug in patients.

DTI-0009. Treatment for acute and chronic heart rate control in atrial
fibrillation
DTI-0009 is an adenosine A\\1\\ agonist that acts predominantly by slowing
conduction through the atrioventricular node of the heart to control heart rate
in atrial fibrillation. Intravenous DTI-0009 is in Phase II clinical trials for
acute rate control in atrial fibrillation. We believe that DTI-0009, packaged
as an acute dosage form and an oral dosage for chronic use, has the potential
to provide immediate and sustained therapy for patients with atrial
fibrillation.

Market opportunity
Atrial fibrillation is the most common of the cardiac arrhythmias, or abnormal
heart rhythms, and affects approximately six million patients worldwide. The
incidence is increasing due to the aging of the population and because patients
with underlying heart disease are surviving longer and developing atrial
fibrillation. When a patient experiences atrial fibrillation, the heart can
beat too rapidly to effectively pump blood throughout the body leading to
palpitation, shortness of breath, chest pain and possibly heart failure. The
incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age, with approximately 3% of
the population at age 65 and 10% of people over the age of 80 having the
arrhythmia.

Medical need
Current treatments to return patients to a normal heart rhythm have variable
initial success but generally poor long term success in maintaining a normal
rhythm, with most patients returning to atrial fibrillation within one to two
years. In addition, these treatments can cause sudden cardiac death syndrome.
Treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation often requires the use of drugs to
maintain a slow heart rate. DTI-0009 is not designed to convert patients back
to a normal rhythm and, because it has no direct effects on the pumping chamber
heart muscle, should not have many of the side effects of standard
antiarrhythmics.

Therapies commonly used to control heart rate during atrial fibrillation by
slowing conduction through the atrioventricular node, including digoxin, beta
blockers and calcium channel blockers, have significant shortcomings. Digoxin
has a slow onset when given intravenously in the acute setting, provides poor
heart rate control during exercise and has a narrow range between therapeutic
effect and toxicity. Both beta blockers and calcium channel blockers can cause
symptomatic low blood pressure before achieving adequate heart rate control. In
addition, calcium channel blockers can aggravate heart failure which is
becoming the most common underlying heart disease leading to atrial
fibrillation. Beta blockers can aggravate acute heart failure and cause
wheezing.

                                                                             37



Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Our product candidate
DTI-0009 is a potent, small molecule, selective adenosine A\\1\\ agonist that,
by affecting predominantly the atrioventricular node of the heart, has the
potential to control heart rate without lowering blood pressure. It is
formulated to potentially overcome the clinical shortcomings of current
therapies. The molecule is designed to be readily delivered orally and by
intravenous injection.

In pre-clinical studies, we demonstrated that DTI-0009 is effective in slowing
conduction through the atrioventricular node. Based on these data, we entered
into a licensing agreement with Fujisawa Healthcare, the US development and
sales arm of Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co. of Japan. The agreement provides
Fujisawa Healthcare with exclusive US and Canadian development and marketing
rights for the intravenous formulation of DTI-0009. In return, the agreement
provides for license fees, milestone payments and royalty rates based on
product sales. We retain rights outside the United States and Canada to the
intravenous formulation and worldwide rights to the all other dosage forms of
the drug.

Two multi-center trials to determine dosing and safety of the intravenous
formulation have been completed in the electrophysiology laboratory. The
intravenous formulation of the compound is currently in multi-center Phase II
clinical trials for acute heart rate control in atrial fibrillation.

DTI-0017. Potassium neutral diuretic for edema in congestive heart failure
DTI-0017 is an adenosine A\\1\\ antagonist designed to treat edema associated
with heart failure by blocking the action of endogenous adenosine on the A\\1\\
receptor in the kidney. We are developing DTI-0017 as both an intravenous form
for acute treatment and in an oral form for chronic use. Our own studies and
other published research suggest that adenosine A\\1\\ antagonists, such as
DTI-0017, may be useful as diuretics in the treatment of congestive heart
failure. DTI-0017 appears to act at a different site in the kidney than most
diuretics, does not affect potassium balance, appears to prevent decreased
renal function seen with some other diuretics and may assist in the prevention
of resistance that often develops to other diuretics.

Market opportunity
Approximately 4.7 million people in the United States suffer from congestive
heart failure, a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the
needs of the body's other organs. Symptoms of congestive heart failure are
related to inadequate blood flow and sodium and fluid retention. The body
interprets the decreased blood flow as a decrease in blood volume that might
occur with dehydration or blood loss. This causes the body to retain sodium,
which can lead to fluid build-up, or edema. The excess fluid causes congestion
in the lungs with shortness of breath and accumulation of fluid in the
extremities and abdominal organs.

Medical need
Diuretics are typically required to remove excess fluid caused by sodium
retention. There are many currently available diuretic agents for
pharmacological treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure.
Two classes of these drugs, loop and thiazide diuretics, can cause dangerously
low levels of blood potassium that may result in life-threatening arrhythmias,
especially if used together. Oral potassium replacements are available but are
difficult to take and dosage must be adjusted according to the results of blood
tests. In addition, the potent loop diuretics actually decrease blood flow
through the kidney. This decrease in kidney blood flow limits the ability of
the body to cleanse the blood, which may lead to a resetting of kidney function
that causes resistance to diuretic treatment. Potassium-sparing diuretics can
limit this potassium loss, but if used inappropriately can cause a dangerous
increase in blood potassium levels or hyperkalemia. Potassium-sparing diuretics
must be used very carefully with other drugs used to treat congestive heart
failure, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, because of their
additive effect on potassium levels.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Human and animal studies indicate that adenosine A\\1\\ agonists can cause
increased urine output without causing changes in blood potassium levels. They
also increase kidney blood flow when used alone, and maintain the glomerular
filtration rate when added to loop diuretics.

Our product candidate
We are independently developing DTI-0017 to treat both acute and chronic
indications. We have undertaken and concluded the first Phase I clinical trial
for DTI-0017. In this trial we found that patients had difficulty tolerating
DTI-0017 due to side effects such as vomiting and irritation at the injection
site which we believe were related to the vehicle used to deliver the drug.
There was also one serious adverse event which may or may not have been related
to DTI-0017. We are in the process of evaluating the possible role of DTI-0017
in the serious adverse event, reformulating the intravenous and oral
formulations of DTI-0017 and conducting additional animal testing.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Our industry collaborators are presently investing in pre-clinical and clinical
development of our dopamine D\\2\\ agonists and adenosine A\\2A\\ agonists for
additional therapeutic targets. Our agreements with these companies provide us
with a combination of milestone and royalty payments in the event the compounds
are successfully developed and launched for new indications. We are currently
developing staffing and task plans for a number of pre-clinical and
early-clinical programs in adenosine-mediated conditions as well as
inflammatory conditions affecting the cardiovascular and renal systems. These
programs are intended to result in product candidates that are covered by our
current patents or form the basis of new patent applications.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

We intend to become a leader in the development and commercialization of
innovative adenosine-based and other therapies for cardiovascular, central
nervous system and renal diseases. To achieve this objective, we intend to
concentrate on the following key strategies.

Focus our internal research and development on predominantly cardiovascular,
central nervous system and renal disease pathways
We believe our receptor-specific adenosine agonists and antagonists have
positioned us to develop superior therapeutic approaches to atrial
fibrillation, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease diagnosis and
diseases of the central nervous system. We believe that our adenosine receptor
technology has additional potential application in inflammatory conditions
affecting the cardiovascular and renal systems, and could enable us to become a
leading company in the market for adenosine-based therapeutics, an area of
pharmaceutical research receiving renewed attention and interest. We believe
that this technology and early work in other inflammation mediators now
underway in our research laboratories hold the potential for the development of
novel drug candidates that can rapidly advance into clinical trials.

Maintain and expand in-house expertise and capabilities in synthetic chemistry,
pharmacology and key elements of clinical development while outsourcing routine
drug development activities
We are developing a scientific and management team tailored to design and
manage pre-clinical and clinical development programs. We will expand our
in-house capabilities in synthetic chemistry, pharmacology, regulatory affairs,
clinical trial management and biostatistics. We intend to outsource certain
specific activities of drug development such as manufacturing, formulation and
packaging, non-clinical toxicology and clinical site management.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             39



Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wherever economically feasible, retain development responsibility and marketing
rights to our drug candidates through late stage clinical development and/or
regulatory approval to maximize the value of each of our drug candidates
We believe that undertaking the cost and risks of clinical development of our
drugs will position us to either approach the market directly with our drugs,
if and when approved, or to negotiate out-licensing arrangements that result in
much larger portions of the commercial value of the drugs accruing to us. We
will seek to form development collaborations earlier in the cycle when we
believe that the development costs far outweigh our ability to fund them or
have the potential to jeopardize the success of other on-going programs.

In-license clinical stage drug candidates and acquire companies with
complementary product pipelines and technologies to supplement our internal
research and development efforts
We believe that many new therapies for cardiovascular and renal diseases will
come from efforts now underway in biotechnology. Our strategy is to seek out
and selectively in-license clinical stage molecules and acquire firms to add
complementary technology and development programs to our existing portfolio.

SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND

Receptor and enzyme pharmacology
Naturally-occurring signal molecules interact with special recognition sites
called receptors, proteins located on the surface of the cell that mediate a
variety of physiological effects, or with enzymes that catalyze metabolic
chemical reactions. Receptors for naturally-occurring signal molecules such as
adenosine or dopamine exist in a variety of subtypes that are distributed among
tissues. The receptor subtype distribution allows any individual signal
molecule to mediate different actions in different tissues.

Small molecule analogs of signal molecules that act at individual receptor
subtypes enable the desired therapeutic effect to be produced while minimizing
side effects that often result from less selective compounds. Agonists
stimulate the activity of receptors and enzymes while antagonists inhibit such
activity. These receptor-subtype selective drugs exert a more potent
therapeutic action than are possible with naturally occurring products which do
not distinguish among subtypes of a particular receptor family.

Adenosine receptors
Adenosine is a multi-purpose signal molecule that regulates a variety of
cardiovascular, renal and other cellular functions to minimize damage during
times of physiological stress. Different adenosine receptor subtypes govern
different effects of adenosine. The challenges faced in the use of adenosine as
a therapeutic agent stem from its nearly equal affinity for all receptor
subtypes and extremely short half-life of approximately ten seconds. There are
at least four adenosine receptor subtypes. In the heart, the A\\1\\ subtype
controls the rate and conduction of electrical stimulation through the heart.
The A\\2A\\ subtype controls dilation of arteries including the coronary
arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. In the kidney, we believe that
the A\\1\\ receptor helps modulate electrolyte balance, blood flow and
filtration. It is often desirable to achieve a single, specific effect of
adenosine by increasing or blocking activity to one receptor subtype without
affecting the other subtypes and causing potentially harmful side effects.

Dopamine receptors
Dopamine production and release in the brain is necessary to move normally and
smoothly. Naturally produced dopamine acts in part, by stimulating the D\\2\\
receptor, which is thought to be the most active receptor for mediating
movement. If an individual is unable to produce sufficient quantities of
dopamine, certain central nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson's
disease, may result.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease is an age-related, neurodegenerative disorder with an
average age of onset of 60 years. However, 10 to 20% of the cases develop
before age 50 and half of those are younger than 40 years old. Moreover,
according to the American Parkinson's Disease Society, the incidence below the
age of 50 is increasing. Approximately one million persons in the United States
report having the disease, but the actual incidence may be higher. Recent US
Census Bureau projections indicate that aging of the population will result in
a substantial increase in the number of at-risk individuals in the coming
decades, leading to an increase in the prevalence of the disease.

Parkinson's disease is caused by degenerative changes associated with the loss
of dopamine-producing neurons in an area of the brain known as the substantia
nigra, resulting in the loss of the neurons that produce dopamine. Patients
with Parkinson's disease can still respond to dopamine but are unable to
produce quantities sufficient for normal movement. Thus, current pharmacologic
therapies for the disease focus on replacing the missing dopamine D\\2\\
receptor stimulation.

The cause of these pathologic changes in the majority of Parkinson's disease
cases is of unknown origin. Parkinson's disease may also be caused by recurrent
trauma and genetic defects. However, it is suspected that Parkinson's usually
results from the combination of a genetic predisposition and unidentified
environmental triggers.

The introduction of L-dopa in the late 1960's represented a significant advance
in the treatment of this disease by providing clinical benefit to most
patients. L-dopa is a drug that is converted by the body into dopamine, in both
the brain and periphery, leading to improvement in motor function. However,
L-dopa has a number of shortcomings. L-dopa is converted to dopamine in the
very nerve cells that are degenerating, limiting its long-term usefulness as
these cells die. L-dopa must also be combined with an agent that blocks its
breakdown to dopamine in the periphery to limit side effects and increase the
blood levels of L-dopa that reach the brain. Because it has a short chemical
half-life, the patient must take multiple doses daily. In addition, data
suggest that long-term treatment with L-dopa is often complicated by
neuropsychiatric complications and new uncontrolled body movement problems such
as dyskinesias and motor fluctuations. As many as half of all Parkinson's
disease patients treated with L-dopa for over five years experience motor
fluctuations and dyskinesias. When patients are experiencing symptoms, they are
"off" and when medication relieves those symptoms, they are "on." Patients can
go from being "on" to being "off" in a very rapid and unpredictable manner.
These fluctuations may not be related to L-dopa blood levels, making treatment
by dose adjustment difficult. There may also be potential for further brain
cell loss by L-dopa due to oxidative damage resulting from the drug.

An alternate approach is to give the patient a substitute compound for dopamine
that acts like dopamine by stimulating the D\\2\\ receptors but does not have
to be converted by the body into dopamine. In particular, dopamine receptor
agonists selective for these receptors are proven agents for treating
Parkinson's disease.

The range of therapeutic drug levels in Parkinson's disease patients is
relatively narrow. Therefore, patients require a dosage form of the dopamine
D\\2 \\agonist that results in continuous, 24 hour therapeutic blood levels of
the drug. Current D\\2\\ agonists are oral agents, and therefore do not result
in steady blood levels of the drug in the patient. See diagram below. Because
the current medications are not dosed at night, patients wake up "off" in the
morning and are functionally limited until the morning dose of their medication
reaches therapeutic blood levels.

Restless Legs Syndrome
According to the National Institutes of Health, Restless Legs Syndrome is a
common, under-diagnosed neurologic movement disorder in which patients can
suffer an almost irresistible urge to move the legs because of disagreeable leg
sensations that are usually worse at rest. Studies have indicated that as much
as 15% of the population may experience symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome and,
although the prevalence increases with age, 30% to 40% of patients with severe
symptoms had their first symptoms before the age of 20.

Restless Legs Syndrome is a disease of the central nervous system. It is often
genetically determined, but can be due to other disease states, such as iron
deficiency and kidney failure, and medications, such as antidepressants,
caffeine and dopamine antagonists. Restless Legs Syndrome can be described as
an agitated inability to rest that can have a negative impact on the quality of
life. The waking discomfort, chronic sleep deprivation and stress often
associated with sleep complaints can adversely affect occupational activities,
social activities and family life.

The symptoms usually involve the legs, but can also involve the arms. The
unpleasant sensations may be described like worms or bugs crawling under the
skin. They are generally worse in the evening and night, less severe in the
morning and improve with activity. The Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group, a
collaboration of academic researchers with interests in the disease, has
defined the following four minimal criteria for diagnosis:

 .   a compelling urge to move the limbs, usually associated with the abnormal
    sensations mentioned above;

 .   motor restlessness as seen in activities such as floor pacing, tossing and
    turning in bed and rubbing the legs;

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

42



Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 .   symptoms are worse or exclusively present at rest, with variable and
    temporary relief by activity; and

 .   symptoms are worse in the evening and at night.

There are currently no medications approved for the treatment of Restless Legs
Syndrome in the United States, although dopamine-like agents, such as L-dopa,
are first line therapy for "off-label" use. L-dopa is effective, but as many as
80% of patients may develop worsening of symptoms from its chronic use. It may
cause insomnia or sleeplessness and its therapeutic effect can be reduced with
a high-protein meal. Oral dopamine agonists have shown high efficacy in small,
but often uncontrolled trials. The doses of both L-dopa and dopamine agonists
are usually much lower than the doses required to treat Parkinson's disease.
Other classes of medications used include opioids, benzodiazepine sedatives,
anticonvulsants, the antihypertensive clonadine and iron replacement treatments.

Cardiovascular disease
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels that together
supply oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body and remove waste. Arteries
conduct blood to the cells, veins return it to the heart and capillaries are
the small vessels where the actual exchange of oxygen, nutrients and waste
products occur. The kidneys act as filters, regulating blood volume, the
balance of chemicals, such as sodium, potassium and chloride, in the blood and
eliminates toxic waste products. The lungs add oxygen to the circulating blood
while removing carbon dioxide. The key to the body's routine ability to
accomplish these tasks is adequate blood flow. Blood flow, or cardiac output,
is determined by factors such as heart rate and blood pressure, which in turn
are controlled by a variety of signal molecules such as adenosine, and hormones
such as adrenaline and aldosterone. These hormones perform their function by
binding to specific receptor sites of a variety of cell types in the heart,
lungs, blood vessels and kidneys. Any significant disruption of this system
results in cardiovascular disease.

Pharmacologic stress testing
Cardiac stress tests are performed on people who may have heart disease because
they have experienced certain symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of
breath or irregular heartbeats. Generally, during a cardiac stress test, the
patient's physical condition and heart function is monitored through
electrocardiogram leads placed on the chest. For many patients, physicians need
to examine the flow of blood to the heart. These tests, called perfusion
imaging cardiac stress tests, are performed using an imaging agent to provide
an image of the blood flow to the various parts of the heart. For the test to
yield the best possible images, the patient's coronary vessels must be fully
dilated prior to injection of the imaging agent, generally through the use of
exercise. Because many patients cannot perform the level of exercise necessary
for an adequate study, approximately 1.8 million coronary blood flow imaging
procedures are performed in the United States using a pharmacologic stress
agent in lieu of exercise each year.

Currently, the leading blood vessel dilator for cardiac perfusion imaging
studies is adenosine. Because adenosine is eliminated from the blood stream in
approximately ten seconds, adenosine must be given as an intravenous infusion
over six minutes requiring a special intravenous syringe pump. Adenosine causes
coronary blood vessel dilation through stimulation of the A\\2A\\ receptor.
However, adenosine has serious side effects, such as severe slowing of the
heart rate, hypotension and wheezing due to stimulation of other adenosine
receptor subtypes.

Cardiac arrhythmias-atrial fibrillation
Arrhythmias, also called dysrhythmias, are abnormal heart rhythms caused by
abnormal conduction of electrical impulses in the conduction system of the
heart. Arrhythmias can be fast, slow, regular or irregular. They can cause the
heart to pump less effectively while they occur, depress the intrinsic muscle
function of the heart and cause fainting and even death.

The heart contains four chambers--two atria and two ventricles. The atria are
weakly contracting reservoirs holding blood returning to the heart while the
pumping chambers, the ventricles, contract and eject blood to the body. The
diagram below shows the structure of the human heart and its electrical
conduction system. This electrical system is responsible for controlling the
pumping behavior of the heart.



                               [DIAGRAM OF HEART]


The normal heart beat starts as an electrical signal in a group of specialized
cells in the right atrium, the sinus node, which acts as the pacemaker of the
heart. This signal spreads throughout the atria and to the atrioventricular, or
AV node. The atria are electrically isolated from the ventricles, and the AV
node is the only place in the normal heart where the impulse from the atria can
be conducted to the ventricles. The rate of conduction through the AV node
determines the rate at which the ventricles contract. The impulse travels
through the atrioventricular node to specialized fibers to all parts of the
ventricles. This exact route must be followed for the heart to pump properly.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common of the sustained arrhythmias. In atrial
fibrillation, the electrical activity in the atria is chaotic and at an
extremely high rate, approximately 300 to 600 beats per minute, causing the
atrial muscle to quiver rather than contract normally. The AV node is unable to
conduct this extremely fast rate, but can conduct in the range of 120 to 180
beats per minute to the ventricle. Ventricular contraction at this rate is
ineffective because there is inadequate time for the ventricle to fill between
beats, and if it persists, causes a deterioration of ventricular pumping
function. Both of these consequences can be improved by controlling the rate
through slowing conduction through the AV node.

The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age, with approximately 3%
of the population at age 65 and 10% of people over age 80 having the
arrhythmia. The incidence is increasing due to the aging of the population and
because patients with underlying heart disease are surviving longer and
developing atrial fibrillation. In addition, atrial fibrillation is often
secondary to conditions such as congestive heart failure, the incidence of
which is also increasing.

Treatment for atrial fibrillation consists of initially slowing the ventricular
response by slowing conduction through the AV node. Although many patients can
be initially converted back to a normal rhythm, the majority of these patients
will have recurrences of atrial fibrillation and ultimately end up in chronic
atrial fibrillation. Therefore, the majority of atrial fibrillation patients
will require long-term rate control by slowing conduction through the AV node.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

44



Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Current therapies to control heart rate by slowing conduction through the AV
node, including digoxin, beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, have
significant shortcomings. Digoxin has slow onset when given intravenously in
the acute setting, provides poor rate control during exercise, and has a narrow
range between therapeutic effect and toxicity. Both beta blockers and calcium
channel blockers may cause symptomatic low blood pressure before achieving
adequate heart rate control. In addition, calcium channel blockers can
aggravate heart failure, which is becoming the most common underlying heart
disease leading to atrial fibrillation. Beta blockers can also aggravate acute
heart failure and cause wheezing.

It is well known that adenosine plays an important role in limiting the
conduction of rapid atrial rates through the AV node due to its action on the
A\\1\\ receptor. A\\1\\ receptor stimulation of the atrioventricular node has
little effect on heart rate in normal sinus rhythm, but when the AV node is
stressed by rapid atrial rates, the slowing of conduction is significantly
increased. This more dramatic effect at a higher rate is called use or rate
dependence. Use dependence should allow the use of low doses of an A\\1\\
agonist, minimizing the stimulation of other A\\1\\ receptors throughout the
body thereby limiting side effects.

Edema in congestive heart failure
Approximately 4.7 million people in the United States suffer from congestive
heart failure. Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the heart is
unable to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body's other organs. It is
usually due to decreased pumping efficiency, but can be due to the inability of
the heart to relax properly between beats.

Symptoms of congestive heart failure are related to inadequate blood flow and
sodium and fluid retention, or edema. Patients develop exercise intolerance,
cold skin, heat intolerance and fatigue from poor blood flow. The body
interprets the decreased blood flow as a decrease in blood volume as might
occur with dehydration or blood loss. This causes the body to retain sodium and
fluid. The excess fluid causes congestion in the lungs with shortness of breath
and accumulation of fluid in the extremities and abdominal organs. Treatment of
congestive heart failure is directed to improving symptoms and survival.

Congestive heart failure usually requires a treatment program of rest, a
sodium-restricted diet, modification of daily activities and drugs such as
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, beta blockers, digitalis, diuretics
and vasodilators. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are the mainstay for
treatment of congestive heart failure. They improve symptoms and survival. Beta
blockers have also recently been shown to improve symptoms and survival.
Digitalis improves symptoms but has no effect on survival.

Diuretics are typically required to remove excess fluid caused by sodium
retention. The current diuretic agents for pharmacological treatment of edema
associated with congestive heart failure include loop diuretics such as
furosemide and torsemide, aldosterone antagonists like aldactone, thiazide
diuretics such as hydrochorthiazide and the potassium-sparing diuretics such as
amiloride. The loop and thiazide diuretics can cause dangerously low levels of
blood potassium that can result in life-threatening arrhythmias, especially if
used together. Oral potassium replacements are available, but are difficult to
take and dosage must be adjusted according to the results of blood tests.
Potassium-sparing diuretics can limit this potassium loss, but if used
inappropriately can cause equally dangerous increase in blood potassium levels.
Potassium-sparing diuretics must be used very carefully in combination with the
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors because of the additive effect on
potassium levels. In addition, the potent loop diuretics actually decrease the
kidney's blood flow. This decrease limits the kidney's ability to cleanse the
blood. It may lead to a resetting of kidney function that causes resistance to
diuretic treatment.

As mentioned earlier, adenosine is released in times of physiologic stress and
is elevated in the kidney in heart failure. The kidney senses the low cardiac
output of congestive heart failure and interprets it as low blood volume from
dehydration or blood loss. Adenosine A\\1\\ receptors constrict the blood
vessels leading into the kidney when activated leading to reduced kidney blood
flow, and thus reduced urine output.

CORPORATE COLLABORATIONS

Corporate collaborations are an integral part of our development and growth
strategy. We pursue alliances that allow us to:

 .   accelerate time to market for our drugs that address large markets that we
    could not effectively reach with a sales force of our own;

 .   leverage our expertise in pre-clinical and clinical development of
    cardiovascular and renal drugs;

 .   provide us with novel molecules for indications of strategic importance to
    us; and

 .   help to validate the technology platform for our drugs.

We have established the following collaborations:

Schwarz Pharma AG--Rotigotine-CDS and Rotigotine-CDS reduced dose
In July 1998, we entered into a license agreement with Schwarz Pharma under
which we granted the exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize
Rotigotine-CDS. The agreement provides for us to receive license fees and
pre-commercial regulatory milestone payments of up to $18.5 million, of which
we have received $9.2 million as of December 31, 2001, along with royalty rates
based on net sales of any products developed and launched by Schwarz Pharma
using our dopamine D\\2\\ agonists during the term of the agreement. As long as
Schwarz Pharma retains its license to our compounds, they are solely
responsible for the costs of developing and marketing the drugs. Schwarz Pharma
retains the right to terminate this agreement upon 30 days' written notice.
Schwarz Pharma is a stockholder of Aderis. See "Principal stockholders."

King--MRE-470
In August 1997, we entered into a development and commercialization agreement
with Medco Research, which was subsequently acquired by King Pharmaceuticals.
Under this agreement, we granted the exclusive, worldwide license to develop
and commercialize our proprietary adenosine A\\2A\\ agonists, including
MRE-470. We have also granted to King a right of first refusal to obtain a
license for any drug that we may develop using our proprietary adenosine
A\\2A\\ agonists. The agreement provides for us to receive pre-commercial
license and milestone payments of up to $8.6 million, of which we have received
$2.6 million as of December 31, 2001, along with a royalty based on the net
sales of any products developed from our adenosine A\\2A\\ agonists during the
term of the agreement. As long as King retains its license to MRE-470, they are
solely responsible for the costs of developing and marketing the drug but are
under no obligation to do so. We retain co-development and co-promotion rights
in the United States for therapeutic applications of our drug compounds, other
than MRE-470, on a cost-shared basis. King retains the right to terminate this
agreement upon 30 days' written notice.

Fujisawa Healthcare--DTI-0009
In July 1999, we entered into a development and license agreement with Fujisawa
Healthcare under which we granted the exclusive license to develop and
commercialize an intravenous form of DTI-0009 in the United States and Canada.
We retain those rights for DTI-0009 outside the United States and Canada for
the intravenous formulation and worldwide for the oral formulation. The
agreement provides for us to receive license fees and pre-commercial regulatory
milestone payments of up to

$13.0 million, of which we have received $4.9 million as of December 31, 2001,
along with royalty payments based on net sales of any products developed and
launched by Fujisawa Healthcare using
DTI-0009 during the term of the agreement. As long as Fujisawa Healthcare
retains its license to
DTI-0009, they are solely responsible for the costs of developing and marketing
the drug. Fujisawa Healthcare retains the right to terminate this agreement
upon 30 days' written notice.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Patents, trademarks, and trade secrets are central to the profitability of
pharmaceutical products, and our policy is to pursue intellectual property
protection aggressively for all our products. We own twelve issued US patents
and have filed four US patent applications relating to compounds active at
adenosine and dopamine receptor subtypes. In addition, we have filed patent
applications in certain foreign jurisdictions (and in appropriate cases have
had foreign patents issued) for these technologies. We have acquired options
and licenses to patents relating to several products in pre-clinical research.

Rotigotine-CDS is protected by patents and applications relating to both our
dopamine D\\2\\ receptor agonist, the bulk drug manufacturing process, and the
transdermal patch used to deliver the drug. Patents relating to the D\\2\\
agonist and its use in Parkinson's therapy were acquired from Whitby Research
at our formation for cash and a small royalty. All patents relating to the
D\\2\\ agonist and its use in Parkinson's therapy have been issued, and they
have US expiration dates ranging from 2003 to 2016. A patent application to the
bulk drug manufacturing process is pending. Our proprietary transdermal
delivery system is the subject of a patent application co-owned by us and the
contract manufacturer of this system. All patents relating to the Parkinson's
patch are licensed exclusively to Schwarz Pharma worldwide.

We have filed applications for patents relating to compounds being developed in
our adenosine receptor agonist and antagonist programs. These include basic
pharmaceutical composition of matter patents, and in some cases method of use
or method of treatment patents. Issued patents covering our adenosine A\\2A\\
receptor agonists, having expirations between 2009 and 2013, and one patent
application has been licensed to King.

SALES AND MARKETING

We currently have no sales and marketing employees, and no immediate plans to
hire any. We will make final decisions about sales and marketing at a later
date, but expect to depend in large part on collaboration with third parties
that have established distribution systems and direct sales forces.

MANUFACTURING

We do not currently have manufacturing capabilities, nor do we intend to
develop manufacturing capabilities for any products in the near future. Under
existing agreements, our corporate collaborators have assumed manufacturing
responsibility for our most advanced product candidates. If and when approved
for marketing by the FDA, our dopamine D\\2\\ agonist patch for Parkinson's
disease will be manufactured by Schwarz Pharma. King will be responsible for
manufacturing our adenosine A\\2A\\ agonist for cardiac imaging. Fujisawa
Healthcare will be responsible for manufacturing our adenosine A\\1\\ agonist
for atrial fibrillation in intravenous formulations.

For pre-clinical and initial clinical studies with products earlier in our
development pipeline, we will use contract manufacturers to prepare current
good manufacturing practices, or cGMP, drug substances. We support our contract
manufacturers in the development of synthesis strategies, analytical assays,
and quality control procedures.

Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


COMPETITION

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are intensely competitive, and
technological progress can be rapid. Although we believe that our receptor
subtype specific drug candidates constitute new therapeutic classes of
molecules, we anticipate that each of the areas in which we are conducting
research and development may become the focus of intense competition.

Parkinson's disease
We believe that Schwarz Pharma and we were the first companies to conduct
extensive Phase II clinical trials with a once-per-day transdermal patch for
the treatment of Parkinson's disease. To date only multi-dose oral or
injectable agents have been approved as anti-Parkinson's therapy. While the
active agent, Rotigotine, is a new dopamine agonist and the patch is a novel
formulation, a number of effective dopamine agonists are already marketed in
oral dosage forms. One or more of the oral dopamine agonists are being
developed in once-per-day extended release dosage forms for oral delivery. It
is also possible that one or more of the current approved dopamine agonists
could have sufficient potency and skin permeability to be suitable for
formulation into a patch, but we are not aware of published reports of programs
currently in this area. There is also considerable effort and investment being
made by biotechnology firms in cell transplantation approaches to treatment of
this disease.

Cardiovascular disease
There has been a significant increase in competition in recent years in the
market for adenosine-based products. King, CV Therapeutics, Biogen, Fujisawa
Healthcare and Adenosine Therapeutics are all engaged in development programs
that could compete with one or more of our adenosine-based programs.

Restless Legs Syndrome
There are currently no medications indicated for the treatment of restless legs
syndrome in the United States although there is significant off-label use of
drugs approved for other indications. We know of no plans by other companies to
pursue that indication and we believe there are no other transdermal
formulations in development for this indication.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Government authorities in the United States and other countries extensively
regulate the research, development, testing, manufacture, promotion, marketing
and distribution of drug products. Drugs are subject to rigorous regulation by
the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries.
The steps ordinarily required before a new drug may be marketed in the United
States are similar to steps required in most other countries and include:

 .   pre-clinical laboratory tests, pre-clinical studies in animals and
    formulation studies and the submission to the FDA of an investigational new
    drug application, or IND, for a new drug or antibiotic. The IND must become
    effective before clinical trials may begin;

 .   adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety
    and efficacy of the drug for each indication;

 .   the submission of a new drug application to the FDA; and

 .   FDA review and approval of the new drug application before any commercial
    sale or shipment of the drug.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

48



Business
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry and
stability, as well as animal studies to evaluate toxicity. The results of
pre-clinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an investigational new
drug application. The FDA requires a 30-day waiting period after the filing of
each investigational new drug application before beginning clinical tests in
humans. At any time during this 30-day period or at any time thereafter, the
FDA may halt proposed or ongoing clinical trials until the FDA authorizes
trials under specified terms. The IND application process may become extremely
costly and substantially delay development of our products. Moreover, positive
results of pre-clinical tests will not necessarily indicate positive results in
clinical trials.

Clinical trials to support new drug applications are typically conducted in
three sequential phases that may overlap. These phases generally include the
following:

 .   Phase I: the drug is introduced into humans and is tested for safety, dose
    tolerance and metabolism.

 .   Phase II: the drug is introduced into a limited patient population to:

  .   assess the efficacy of the drug in specific, targeted indications;

  .   assess dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and

  .   identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.

 .   Phase III trials, or pivotal studies: If a compound is found to be
    potentially effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase II
    evaluations, the clinical trial will be expanded to further demonstrate
    clinical efficacy, optimal dosage and safety within an expanded patient
    population at geographically dispersed clinical study sites.

The FDA, and the Institutional Review Board at each institution at which a
clinical trial is being performed, may suspend a clinical trial at any time for
various reasons, including a belief that the subjects are being exposed to an
unacceptable health risk.

The results of product development, pre-clinical animal studies and human
studies are submitted to the FDA as part of a new drug application, or NDA. The
NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information. Once the submission
has been accepted for filing, the FDA has 180 days to review the application
and respond to the applicant. The review process is often significantly
extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification. The FDA
may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and
recommendation as to whether the application should be approved, but the FDA is
not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee. Once approved, the
FDA may withdraw the product approval if compliance with pre- and post-market
regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product
reaches the marketplace. In addition, the FDA may require post-marketing
studies, referred to as Phase IV studies, to monitor the effect of approved
products, and may limit further marketing of the product based on the results
of these post-market studies. The FDA has broad post-market regulatory and
enforcement powers, including the ability to levy fines and civil penalties,
suspend or delay issuance of approvals, seize or recall products, and withdraw
approvals.

Satisfaction of FDA pre-market approval requirements for new drugs typically
takes several years and the actual time required may vary substantially based
upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product or disease. Government
regulation may delay or prevent marketing of potential products for a
considerable period of time and impose costly procedures upon our activities.
Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage
clinical trials. Data obtained from clinical activities is not always
conclusive and may be susceptible to varying interpretations that could delay,
limit or prevent

regulatory approval. Even if a product receives regulatory approval, later
discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may result in
restrictions on the product or even complete withdrawal of the product from the
market.

If regulatory approval of any of our products is granted, it will be limited to
certain disease states or conditions. The manufacturers of approved products
and their manufacturing facilities will be subject to continual review and
periodic inspections by the FDA and other authorities where applicable, and
must comply with FDA's cGMP regulations. Failure to comply with the statutory
and regulatory requirements subjects the manufacturer to possible legal or
regulatory action, such as suspension of manufacturing, seizure of product or
voluntary recall of a product. Adverse experiences with the product must be
reported to the FDA and could result in the imposition of market restriction
through labeling changes or in product removal. Product approvals may be
withdrawn if compliance with regulatory requirements is not maintained or if
problems concerning safety or efficacy of the product occur following approval.
Because we intend to contract with third parties for manufacturing of these
products, our ability to control third party compliance with FDA requirements
will be limited.

With respect to post-market product advertising and promotion, the FDA imposes
a number of complex regulations on entities that advertise and promote
pharmaceuticals, which include, among others, standards and regulations for
direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, industry-sponsored
scientific and educational activities and promotional activities involving the
internet. The FDA has very broad enforcement authority under the Federal Food
Drug and Cosmetic Act, and failure to abide by these regulations can result in
penalties including the issuance of a warning letter directing us to correct
deviations from FDA standards, a requirement that future advertising and
promotional materials be pre-cleared by the FDA, and state and federal civil
and criminal investigations and prosecutions.

We are also subject to various laws and regulations regarding laboratory
practices, the experimental use of animals and the use and disposal of
hazardous or potentially hazardous substances in connection with our research.
In each of these areas, as above, the FDA and other regulatory authorities have
broad regulatory and enforcement powers, including the ability to levy fines
and civil penalties, suspend or delay issuance of approvals, seize or recall
products, and withdraw approvals, any one or more of which could have a
material adverse effect upon us.

Outside the United States our ability to market our products will also depend
on receiving marketing authorizations from the appropriate regulatory
authorities. The foreign regulatory approval process includes all of the risks
associated with FDA approval described above. The requirements governing the
conduct of clinical trials and marketing authorization vary widely from country
to country.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may from time to time become a party to legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any material
pending litigation or other material legal proceedings.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2001, we had 22 full-time employees, including six with
doctoral degrees. Fourteen of our employees are engaged in research and
development, and all management and professional employees have had substantial
prior experience with pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical products
companies. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

PROPERTY AND FACILITIES

We are currently leasing approximately 7,000 square feet of laboratory and
office space in Richmond, Virginia, which we occupy under a three-year lease,

Management

BOARD COMPOSITION

We currently have seven authorized directors. In accordance with the terms of
our restated certificate of incorporation which will become effective upon the
closing of this offering, the terms of office of the directors will be divided
into three classes:

 .   Class I, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be
    held in 2003;

 .   Class II, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to
    be held in 2004; and

 .   Class III, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to
    be held in 2005.

We will determine the classification of our directors after the close of the
offering. At each annual meeting of stockholders after the initial
classification or special meeting in lieu thereof, the successors to directors
whose terms will then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election
and qualification until the third annual meeting following election or special
meeting held in lieu thereof and until their successors are duly elected and
qualified. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the
number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as
nearly as possible, each class will consist of one third of the directors. This
classification of the board of directors may have the effect of delaying or
preventing changes in our control or management.

BOARD COMMITTEES

Audit committee
The audit committee consists of Messrs. Frashier and Roe and Dr. Ross, all of
whom are outside directors. The audit committee recommends engagement of our
independent auditors, approves the services performed by such auditors and
reviews and evaluates our accounting policies and its systems of internal
accounting controls.

Compensation committee
The compensation committee consists of Messrs. Frashier, Benson and Garvey, all
of whom are outside directors. The compensation committee administers our 1995
stock option plan and 2001 incentive award plan and is authorized by the board
of directors to make recommendations with respect to matters of compensation,
including the compensation of our executive officers.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS

The members of the compensation committee of our board of directors are
currently Messrs. Frashier, Garvey and Benson. No member of our board of
directors or of our compensation committee serves as a member of the board of
directors or compensation committee of an entity that has one or more executive
officers serving as members of our board of directors or compensation committee.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We reimburse our non-employee directors for expenses incurred in connection
with attending board and committee meetings but do not compensate them for
their services as board or committee members. Our board has the discretion to
grant options to non-employee directors.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes a provision that
eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages to the
fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

56



Management
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provide that we will indemnify our directors and may indemnify our other
directors, officers or employees to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law. Under current Delaware law, a director's liability to us or our
stockholders may not be limited:

 .   to any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 .   for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct;

 .   for knowing violations of law;

 .   for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
    benefit;

 .   for improper transactions between the director and us; and

 .   for improper distributions to stockholders and loans to directors and
    officers.

We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive
officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our bylaws. These
agreements, among other things, indemnify our directors and executive officers
for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding,
including any action by us arising out of such person's services as our
director or executive officer, any of our subsidiaries or any other company or
enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe
that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain
qualified persons as directors and executive officers. Currently, there is no
pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, executive
officers or employees for which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of
any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

We currently have directors' and officers' liability insurance.

The following table sets forth all compensation awarded to, earned by or paid
to our chief executive officer and our other most highly compensated officers

The information regarding stock options granted to named executive officers as
a percentage of total options granted to employees in the fiscal year, as
disclosed in the table, is based upon options to purchase an aggregate of
504,000 shares of common stock that were granted to all employees as a group,
including the named executive officers, in the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001.

There was no public trading market for our common stock as of December 31,
2001. Accordingly, the exercise price per share of each option granted was
equal to the fair market value of the common stock as determined by the board
of directors on the date of the grant.

Potential realizable values are computed by (1) multiplying the number of
shares of common stock subject to a given option by an assumed initial offering
price of $    per share; (2) assuming that the aggregate stock value derived
from that calculation compounds at an annual 5% or 10% rate shown in the table
for the entire ten-year term of the option; and (3) subtracting from that
result the aggregate option exercise price. The 5% or 10% assumed annual rates
of the stock price appreciation are

mandated by the rules of the commission and do not represent our estimate or

FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES

The following table sets forth, as to the named officers, certain information
concerning the number and value of unexercised options held by each of the
named executive officers at December 31, 2001.

The information regarding the value of unexercised in-the-money options is
based on a value of $    per share, the initial public offering price, minus
the per share exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the
option.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

1995 Stock Option Plan

Purpose
Our board of directors adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan on March 29, 1995 and
our stockholders approved it on March 29, 1995. The stock option plan provides
for grants of incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, to our employees, as well as non-qualified stock
options to our employees, directors and consultants. The stock option plan is
intended to facilitate the retention of current employees, consultants or
directors as well as to secure and retain the services of new employees,
consultants and directors and to provide incentives for such persons to exert
maximum efforts for the success of the company.

                                                                             59



Management
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Administration
The stock option plan is administered by the board of directors unless the
board of directors delegates administration to a compensation committee which
shall be comprised of two or more members, appointed by the board of directors,
each a "disinterested person" as defined by Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(i) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The board of directors, or the compensation
committee if so empowered, has the power to interpret the stock option plan and
to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of
the stock option plan as are consistent with the stock option plan.

Securities reserved
The aggregate number of shares of our common stock issuable under the stock
option plan is 1,500,000.

Grant of awards
Certain employees, consultants and directors are eligible to be granted awards
under the stock option plan. The board of directors, or the compensation
committee if so empowered, determines (1) which employees, consultants, and
directors are to be granted awards; (2) the number of shares subject to option
grants; (3) whether the options are to be incentive stock options or
non-qualified stock options (except that only our employees may be granted
incentive stock options); (4) terms and conditions of such options, consistent
with the stock option plan; and (5) the type of award that is granted. The
board of directors, or the compensation committee if so empowered, has the
discretion, subject to the limitations of the stock option plan and applicable
laws, to grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. A
director shall not be eligible to be granted awards under the stock option plan
unless the board of directors has (1) delegated its discretionary authority
over the stock option plan to the compensation committee; or (2) otherwise
complied with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.

Limitation on incentive stock option treatment.
Even if an option agreement designates an option as an incentive stock option,
no option will qualify as an incentive stock option if the aggregate fair
market value of stock (determined as of the date of grant) with respect to all
of a holder's incentive stock options is exercisable for the first time during
any calendar year under the stock option plan or under any other of our plans,
as applicable, exceeds $100,000. Any option failing to qualify as an incentive
stock option will be deemed to be a non-qualified stock option.

Exercise price
The board of directors, or the compensation committee if so empowered, shall
set the per share exercise price, subject to the following rules: (1) in the
case of incentive stock options, the exercise price shall not be less than 100%
of the fair market value of shares of our common stock on the grant date for
all options granted; (2) in the case of non-qualified stock options, the
exercise price shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of shares of
our common stock on the grant date for all options granted; and (3) for the
persons owning (within the meaning of 424(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our
capital stock or of any of our subsidiaries, the exercise price shall be not
less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on
the grant date. The fair market value of a share of our common stock as of a
given date will be determined in good faith by the board of directors.

Expiration of awards
The term of an award is set by the board of directors, or the compensation
committee if so empowered, subject to the following conditions: (1) that no
award term shall be longer than ten years from the date of

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

60



Management
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

grant; and (2) the award term for a person owning more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock shall not exceed five
years from the date of grant. Upon termination of an outstanding option
holder's status as our employee or consultant, the holder may exercise his or
her options within the period of time specified in the option grant, to the
extent that the options were vested at the time of termination. If no time
period was specified in the notice of grant, the option shall remain
exercisable for three months following the holder's termination of status as an
employee or consultant, or until the date of expiration of the option as set
forth in the option agreement, whichever is earlier. Options granted under the
plan must be exercised within twelve months if the holder's employment ends due
to disability, and within eighteen months of the holder's death, or until the
date of expiration of the option as set forth in the option agreement,
whichever is earlier.

Adjustments of awards
If the board of directors, or the compensation committee if so empowered,
determines that there is a corporate event, defined as a dividend,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, consolidation, dissolution or other similar
corporate transaction that affects our common stock which causes dilution or
enlargement of benefits under the stock option plan, then the board of
directors, or the compensation committee if so empowered, may appropriately
adjust (1) the aggregate number of shares of our common stock subject to the
stock option plan; (2) the number of shares of our common stock subject to the
outstanding awards; and (3) the price per share of our common stock upon
exercise of outstanding awards to counter the dilution or enlargement of
benefits.

Change of control
Upon the occurrence of a merger or the sale of substantially all of our assets,
each outstanding award shall be assumed or substituted for an equivalent option
by the successor corporation or shall continue in full force and effect. If the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute the awards, each holder
of an award shall be entitled to immediately exercise the award for all shares
of our common stock under the award, including unvested shares.

Amendment and termination
The board of directors, or the compensation committee if so empowered, may
amend, modify, suspend or terminate the stock option plan at any time, except
the board of directors, or the compensation committee if so empowered, must
obtain approval of our stockholders within twelve months before or after such
action to (1) increase the number of shares of our common stock that may be
issued under the stock option plan; or (2) to modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in the stock option plan.

Certain restrictions on resale
The board of directors, or the compensation committee if so empowered, may
require any person granted an award to give written assurances stating that
such person has no intention of selling or otherwise distributing the shares of
our common stock they acquire upon exercise of their options under the stock
option plan except that they may offer or sell the shares if they make such
offers and sales (1) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933; or (2) a determination is made by our counsel that such
requirements need not be meet pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

2001 Incentive Award Plan

Purpose
Our board of directors adopted the 2001 Incentive Award Plan on November 14,
2001 and our stockholders approved it on November 14, 2001.

Administration
The incentive award plan is administered by the compensation committee, which
shall be comprised of two or more directors, appointed by the board of
directors, each a "non-employee director" as defined by Rule 16b-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and an "outside director" under Section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The compensation committee has the power
to interpret the incentive award plan and to adopt such rules for the
administration, interpretation and application of the incentive award plan as
are consistent with the incentive award plan, to interpret, amend or revoke any
such rules and to amend any award agreement provided that the rights or
obligations of the holder of the award that is the subject of any award
agreement is not affected adversely.

Securities reserved
The aggregate number of shares of our common stock issuable under the incentive
award plan is 700,000.

Grant of awards
Certain employees, consultants, and directors are eligible to be granted awards
under the incentive award plan. The compensation committee determines (1) which
employees, consultants, and directors are to be granted awards; (2) the number
of shares subject to option grants; (3) whether the options are to be incentive
stock options or non-qualified stock options (except that only our employees
may be granted incentive stock options); (4) terms and conditions of such
options, consistent with the incentive award plan and (5) the type of award
that is granted. The compensation committee has the discretion, subject to the
limitations of the incentive award plan and applicable laws, to grant incentive
stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards,
performance awards, dividend equivalents, deferred stock, stock payments, and
stock appreciation rights.

Limitation on incentive stock option treatment
Even if an option agreement designates an option as an incentive stock option,
no option will qualify as an incentive stock option if the aggregate fair
market value of stock (determined as of the date of grant) with respect to all
of a holder's incentive stock options is exercisable for the first time during
any calendar year under the incentive award plan or under any other of our
plans, as applicable, exceeds $100,000. Any option failing to qualify as an
incentive stock option will be deemed to be a non-qualified stock option.

Exercise price
The compensation committee shall set the per share exercise price, subject to
the following rules: (1) in the case of incentive stock options, the exercise
price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of shares of our
common stock on the grant date for all options granted; and (2) for the persons
owning (within the meaning of 424(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock
or of any of our subsidiaries, the exercise price shall be not less than 110%
of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the grant date.
The fair market value of a share of our common stock as of a given date will
be, after the date of this offering, the average of the mean between the
closing representative bid and asked prices for a share of our common stock on
the trading day previous to such date, as reported by Nasdaq or such successor
quotation system, on such date (or the next preceding trading day, if our
common stock is not traded on that date).

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Expiration of awards
The term of an award is set by the compensation committee, subject to the
following conditions: (1) that no award term shall be longer than ten years
from the date of grant; and (2) the award term for a person owning more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock
shall not exceed five years from the date of grant. The compensation committee
also establishes the time period following termination of employment, death or
disability during which vested options may be exercised, subject to the
requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect
to incentive stock options.

Adjustments of awards
If the compensation committee determines that there is a corporate event,
defined as a dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, consolidation, dissolution or
other similar corporate transaction that affects our common stock which causes
dilution or enlargement of benefits under the incentive award plan, then the
compensation committee may appropriately adjust (1) the aggregate number of
shares of our common stock subject to the incentive award plan; (2) the number
of shares of our common stock subject to the outstanding awards; and (3) the
price per share of our common stock upon exercise of outstanding awards to
counter the dilution or enlargement of benefits.

Change of control
Upon the occurrence of a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets,
each outstanding award shall be assumed or substituted for an equivalent option
by the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of the successor
corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute the
awards, each holder of an award shall be entitled to immediately exercise the
award for all shares of our common stock under the award, including unvested
shares.

Amendment and termination
The compensation committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the
incentive award plan at any time, except the compensation committee must obtain
approval of our stockholders within 12 months before or after such action to
increase the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the
incentive award plan.

Certain restrictions on resale
Employees, officers and directors who are our "affiliates" as defined by the
rules and regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, may offer or sell the
shares of our common stock they acquire upon exercise of their options under
the incentive award plan only if they make such offers and sales (1) pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933; (2)
pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933; or (3) within the limitations and subject to the
conditions set forth in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.

401(K) Plan
Effective January 2002, we adopted an employee savings and retirement plan,
that is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
covering all of our employees. Pursuant to the 401(k) plan, employees may elect
to reduce their current compensation by up to the statutorily prescribed annual
limit and have the amount of the reduction contributed to the 401(k) plan. We
may make matching or additional contributions to the 401(k) plan in amounts to
be determined annually by our board of directors.

Principal stockholders

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
beneficial ownership of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis as of
December 31, 2001 and as adjusted to reflect the sale of our common stock
offered by this prospectus by:

 .   each of the individuals listed in the "Summary compensation table" above;

 .   each of our directors;

 .   each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to own
    beneficially more than 5% of our common stock; and

 .   all of our directors and officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares
beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person,
shares of common stock under options held by that person that are currently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2001 are considered
outstanding. These shares, however, are not considered outstanding when
computing the percentage ownership of each other person.

Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to state
community property laws, each stockholder named in the table has sole voting
and investment power for the shares shown as beneficially owned by them.
Percentage of ownership is based on 8,394,016 shares of common stock
outstanding on December 31, 2001 and      shares of common stock outstanding
after completion of this offering. This table assumes no exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option. Unless otherwise indicated in the

Description of capital stock

The following description of the material terms of our capital stock is
qualified by reference to our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, the amended and restated investors' rights agreement, the
amended and restated stockholders rights agreement and applicable law. The
descriptions of our common stock and preferred stock reflect changes to our
capital structure that will occur upon the closing of this offering.

GENERAL

Upon completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of
50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share,      of which
will be issued and outstanding and     shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.001 per share, none of which will be outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

As of December 31, 2001, there were 1,794,830 shares of common stock
outstanding held of record by 20 stockholders.

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters
to be voted upon by stockholders and are not entitled to cumulate their votes
in election of directors. All shares of common stock rank equally as to voting
and all other matters. Subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred
stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of
directors out of funds legally available for payment. Such dividends may be
paid in cash, property, or shares of common stock. The shares of our common
stock have no preemptive or conversion rights, no redemption or sinking fund
provisions and are not liable for further call or assessment. The outstanding
shares of our common stock are, and all shares of common stock to be
outstanding upon completion of this offering will be, validly issued fully paid
and non-assessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

Upon the closing of this offering, the board of directors will be authorized,
without further stockholder approval, to issue from time to time up to an
aggregate of     shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix or
alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations
or restrictions of the shares of each such series thereof, including the
dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of
redemption including sinking fund provisions, redemption price or prices,
liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or
designations of such series. The issuance of preferred stock could have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Aderis. We
have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

WARRANTS

As of December 31, 2001, we had outstanding a warrant to purchase 136,400
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, which expires
on March 30, 2006. This warrant contains provisions for the adjustment of the
exercise price and the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of
the warrant in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations,
reclassifications and consolidations.

Upon the completion of this offering, assuming exercise of all outstanding
warrants, the holders of 6,796,353 shares of common stock or their transferees
will be entitled to rights to register these shares

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             69



Description of capital stock
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

under the Securities Act of 1933. If we propose to register any of our
securities under the Securities Act, either for our own account or for the
account of other security holders, the holders of these shares will be entitled
to notice of the registration and will be entitled to include, at our expense,
their shares of common stock. In addition, the holders of these shares may
require us, at our expense and on not more than two occasions at any time
beginning approximately six months from the date of the closing of this
offering, to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering
their shares of common stock, and we will be required to use our best efforts
to have the registration statement declared effective. Further, the holders may
require us at our expense to register their shares on Form S-3 when this form
becomes available. These rights shall terminate on the earlier of five years
after the effective date of this offering, or when a holder is able to sell all
its shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act in any 90-day period.
Attached to these registration rights are conditions and limitations, including
the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares included in the
registration statement.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND CHARTER
PROVISIONS

In general, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a
publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination
with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date
that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:

 .   prior to the date, the board of directors of the corporation approved
    either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the
    stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 .   upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder's
    becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at
    least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time
    the transaction commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are
    directors and also officers, and employee stock plans in which employee
    participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether
    shares held under the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer;
    or

 .   on or subsequent to the date, the business combination is approved by the
    board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of
    stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at
    least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the
    interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines "business combination" to include:

 .   any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested
    stockholder;

 .   any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested
    stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

 .   in general, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the
    corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
    or

 .   the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
    advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or
    through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or
person beneficially owning 15% of more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or
controlled by the entity or person.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include a number of provisions that
may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing
changes in control of our certificate of incorporation

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

70



Description of capital stock
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provides that all stockholder actions upon completion of this offering must be
effected at a duly called meeting of holders and not by a consent in writing.
Second, our bylaws provide that special meetings of the holders may be called
only by the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, or
our board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the
total number of authorized directors. Third, our certificate of incorporation
provides that our board of directors can issue up to shares of preferred stock,
as described under "--Preferred Stock" above. Fourth, our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws provide for a classified board of directors, in which
approximately one-third of the directors would be elected each year.
Consequently, any potential acquiror would need to successfully complete two
proxy contests in order to take control of the board of directors. Finally, our
bylaws establish procedures, including advance notice procedures with regard to
the nomination of candidates for election as directors and stockholder
proposals. These provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a
change in our control or management.

NATIONAL MARKET LISTING

We have applied for listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market's
National Market under the symbol "ADPX."

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is    .

Shares eligible for future sale

We will have      shares of our common stock outstanding after the completion
of this offering (     shares if the underwriters' overallotment is exercised
in full). Of those shares, the      shares of common stock sold in the offering
(     shares if the underwriters' overallotment option is exercised in full)
will be freely transferable without restriction, unless purchased by persons
deemed to be our "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. Any shares purchased by an affiliate may not be resold except
pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from
registration, including an exemption under Rule 144. The remaining      shares
of common stock to be outstanding immediately following the completion of this
offering are "restricted," which means they were originally sold in offerings
that were not registered under the Securities Act. These restricted shares may
only be sold through registration under the Securities Act or under an
available exemption from registration, such as provided through Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act. As of the effective date of this
offering, all of our officers, directors and certain other security holders
have entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they have agreed,
subject to limited exceptions, not to offer or sell any shares of common stock
or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of
common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus without
the prior written consent of UBS Warburg LLC. See "Underwriting." After the
180-day lock-up period, these shares may be sold in accordance with Rule 144.

After the offering, the holders of shares of our common stock (including
shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants) will be entitled to
registration rights. For more information on these registration rights, see
"Description of capital stock--Registration rights."

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose
shares are aggregated), including an affiliate, who has beneficially owned
shares of our common stock for one year or more, may sell in the open market
within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the
greater of:

 .   one percent of the then outstanding shares of our common stock
    (approximately        shares immediately after the offering); or

 .   the average weekly trading volume in the common stock on the Nasdaq
    National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain limitations on the manner of
sale, notice requirements and the availability or our current public
information. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed
not to have been our affiliate at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale
by him and who has beneficially owned his shares for at least two years, may
sell the shares in the public market under Rule 144(k) without regard to the
volume limitations, manner of sale provisions, notice requirements or the
availability of current public information we refer to above.
Any of our employees, officers, directors or consultants who purchased his or
her shares before the date of completion of this offering or who holds options
as of that date pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract is entitled
to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, which permits non-affiliates to
sell their Rule 701 shares without having to comply with the
public-information, holding-period, volume-limitation or notice provisions of
Rule 144 and permits affiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares without having to
comply with Rule 144's holding-period restrictions, in each case commencing 90
days after completion of this offering.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

72



Shares eligible for future sale
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neither Rule 144 nor Rule 701 supersedes the contractual obligations of our
security holders set forth in the lock-up agreements described above.

The shares of our capital stock that were outstanding on January   , 2002 that
will become eligible for sale without registration pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule
701 under the Securities Act are approximately as follows:
 .   shares will be immediately eligible for sale in the public market without
    restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k);

 .   shares will be eligible for sale in the public market under Rule 144 or
    Rule 701 beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to
    volume, manner of sale and other limitations under those rules; and

 .   the remaining        shares of common stock will become eligible for sale
    from time to time after the date of this prospectus under Rule 144 upon
    expiration of their respective holding periods.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             73



- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Underwriting

We and the underwriters named below have entered into an underwriting agreement
concerning the shares we are offering. Subject to conditions, each underwriter
has severally agreed to purchase the number of shares indicated in the
following table. UBS Warburg LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp. and RBC Dain
Rauscher Inc., are the representatives of the underwriters.

   Total................
                                  =======


If the underwriters sell more shares than the total number set forth in the
table above, the underwriters have a 30-day option to buy from us up to an
additional      shares at the initial public offering price less the
underwriting discounts and commissions to cover these sales. If any shares are
purchased under this option, the underwriters will severally purchase shares in
approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and
commissions we will pay to the underwriters. These amounts are shown assuming
both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase up
to an additional      shares.

Per share           $             $
   Total.           $             $


We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $    .

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the
initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any
shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount
of up to $    per share from the initial public offering price. Any of these
securities dealers may resell any shares purchased from the underwriters to
other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $    per share from the initial
public offering price. If all the shares are not sold at the initial public
offering price, the representatives may change the offering price and the other
selling terms.

The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect discretionary sales
to exceed 5% of the shares of common stock to be offered.

We, our directors, officers and our stockholders holding    shares of our
common stock in the aggregate have agreed with the underwriters not to offer,
sell, contract to sell, hedge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly,
or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
relating to, any of our common stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of our common stock during the period from the date of
this prospectus continuing through the date 180 days after the date of this
prospectus, without the prior written consent of UBS Warburg LLC.

The underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial public offering price,
up to    shares of our common stock being offered, for sale to our customers
and business partners. At the discretion of our

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

74



Underwriting
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

management, other parties, including our employees, may participate in the
reserved share program. The number of shares available for sale to the general
public in the offering will be reduced to the extent these persons purchase
reserved shares. Any reserved shares not so purchased will be offered by the
underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other shares.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock.
The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiation by us and
the representatives of the underwriters. The principal factors to be considered
in determining the initial public offering price include:

 .   the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the
    representatives;

 .   the history and the prospects for the industry in which we compete;

 .   the ability of our management;

 .   our prospects for future earnings, the present state of our development,
    and our current financial position;

 .   the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this
    offering; and

 .   the recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded common
    stock of generally comparable companies.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares
of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include stabilizing
transactions. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for
the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the
common stock while the offering is in progress. These transactions may also
include short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.
Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares
than they are required to purchase in the offering. Short sales may be either
"covered short sales" or "naked short sales." Covered short sales are sales
made in an amount not greater than the underwriters' over-allotment option to
purchase additional shares in the offering. The underwriters may close out any
covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option or
purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to
close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among
other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as
compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the
over-allotment option. Naked short sales are sales in excess of the
over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position
by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely
to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward
pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could
adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular
underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount
received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or
for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short covering
transactions.

These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the
common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the
open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the
underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq
National Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against some liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and to contribute to
payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

Experts

The financial statements of Aderis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31,
2000 and 1999 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000 and financial statements of Renalogics, Inc. as of June 21, 1999 and
December 31, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998, for the period from
January 1, 1999 to June 21, 1999 and for the period from inception (September
10, 1996) to June 24, 1999 included in this prospectus and elsewhere in the
registration statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent
public accountants, as indicated in their report with respect thereto, and are
included herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in
giving said reports.

Change in independent auditors

In November 2000, we dismissed Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors
and retained Arthur Andersen LLP. Our board of directors approved the decision
to change independent auditors. We had no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statements
disclosure, or auditing scope of procedures during our two most recent fiscal
years and interim period prior to our change in independent auditors, which, if
not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused them
to make reference to the matter in their report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Aderis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aderis
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) (formerly Discovery
Therapeutics, Inc.) as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the related
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 2000 and the statement of convertible
preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit) from inception through
December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of Aderis
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the 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 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. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aderis
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

ADERIS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
(A development stage company)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information for September 30, 2000 and 2001 is unaudited)



(1) OPERATIONS

Discovery Therapeutics, Inc. (Discovery) was incorporated in Delaware on April
22, 1994 to acquire, on April 25, 1994, a research business from Whitby, Inc.,
a pharmaceutical company. In December 2001, Discovery changed its name to
Aderis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company). The Company expanded its business
through the acquisition in June 1999 of Renalogics, Inc. (Renalogics), a
company engaged in the development and commercialization of products for
treatment of glumorolonephritis and other diseases (see Note 11). The Company's
primary activity is to engage in the discovery and development of its portfolio
compounds and the subsequent commercialization of products utilizing these
compounds. These compounds represent therapeutics for disease states where
there is a significant medical need, including Parkinson's disease, cardiac
disease, and other disorders. To date, the Company's principal activities have
involved obtaining capital, performing research and development activities and
entering into collaboration agreements. As such, the Company is classified as a
development stage company, as the Company has not commercialized any of its
drug candidates and, accordingly, has not generated revenues from such
activities.

The Company is subject to a number of risks associated with companies in the
biotechnology industry and in the development stage. Principal among these are
the risks associated with the Company's dependence on collaborative
arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new
technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of
proprietary technology, compliance with the US Food and Drug Administration and
other governmental regulations and approval requirements, as well as the
ability to grow the Company's business and obtain adequate financing to fund
this growth.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Principles of consolidation
   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company and
   its wholly-owned subsidiary, Renalogics. Intercompany balances are
   eliminated in consolidation.

(b) Unaudited interim financial statements
   The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2001
   and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 are unaudited.
   These unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as
   the audited financial statements and include, in the opinion of management,
   all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
   financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
   periods presented. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are
   not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
   entire fiscal year or future periods.

(c) Unaudited pro forma presentation
   The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statement of
   stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2001 and the pro forma net loss per
   share for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended
   September 30, 2001 reflect the automatic conversion of all outstanding
   shares of Series A, B, C and D convertible preferred stock into 6,599,186
   shares of common stock upon the closing of the Company's proposed initial
   public offering, as well as the issuance of 103,664 shares of common stock
   and the issuance and conversion into common stock of

                                                                            F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

   118,670 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock to Renalogics
   shareholders upon the closing of the Company's proposed initial public
   offering.

(d) Use of estimates
   The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in
   conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
   States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
   reported amounts and disclosure of certain assets and liabilities at the
   balance sheet date. Such estimates include the recording of revenue and
   expenses, the carrying value of property and equipment and intangible assets
   and the value of certain liabilities. Actual results may differ from such
   estimates.

(e) Revenue recognition
   Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition," was issued
   in December 1999. SAB No. 101 requires companies to recognize certain
   up-front nonrefundable fees and milestone payments over the life of the
   related alliances when such fees are received in conjunction with alliances
   that have multiple elements. The Company has adopted SAB No. 101 for all
   periods presented.

   The Company has entered into agreements with pharmaceutical companies under
   which it licenses product rights to certain compounds, earns milestone
   payments (based on the pharmaceutical company achieving certain milestones
   in the development of the compound), consulting fees and research and
   development cost reimbursements. Under these arrangements, the Company has
   fulfilled all of its contractual development obligations as of September 30,
   2001 and any additional development work requested to be performed by the
   pharmaceutical company will be charged for at a rate at which the Company
   would separately charge for these development services. The Company is also
   involved on committees with these pharmaceutical companies monitoring the
   development of these compounds. As a result of this, the Company is
   recognizing the total expected fees under these contracts, exclusive of
   royalties (as the receipt of royalties do not occur until the successful
   development and sale of a product which is a separate discrete earnings
   event), as revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated development
   period of the compound to the extent such amount is not greater than cash
   received. The pharmaceutical company has the right to cancel these
   agreements at any time and all payments received are nonrefundable;
   therefore, no revenue is recognized ahead of cash received. Deferred revenue
   consists of payments received in advance of revenue-recognized under these
   agreements.

   Revenue is recognized under government grants as the services are provided
   and payment is assured under the terms of the grant.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents
   Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with
   maturities of 90 days or less when acquired. Cash equivalents, which
   consisted primarily of a money market account, are stated at cost, which
   approximates market value.

(g) Property and equipment
   Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
   the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
   assets.

   The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

Computer equipment..................... 3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures.................   5 years
Laboratory equipment...................   5 years
Vehicles...............................   5 years


(h) Intangible assets
   The Company periodically evaluates the potential impairment of its
   long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
   the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. At the occurrence of
   a certain event or change in circumstances, the Company evaluates the
   potential impairment of an asset based on future undiscounted cash flows. In
   the event that impairment exists, the Company will measure the amount of
   such impairment based on the fair value of the related asset, calculated
   based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discount
   rate commensurate with the risks involved. Factors that management considers
   in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and
   prospects and, in addition, demand, competition and other economic factors.
   At December 31, 1999, the Company determined that there had been no
   impairment of its long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2000, the Company
   determined that the value of its purchased technology was impaired under
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for
   the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
   Of" (see Note 11).

   Intangible assets consisted of the following:



                                             Estimated
                                                useful December 31, December 31,

                                                         ==========   ==========


   Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the years ended
   December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the nine months ended September 30, 2000
   and 2001 and for the period from inception (April 22, 1994) to September 30,
   2001 was approximately $0, $258,000, $491,000, $368,000, $0 and $749,000,
   respectively, and is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of
   operations as research and development expenses.

(i) Fair value of financial instruments
   The estimated fair value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
   accounts payable approximates carrying value due to the short-term nature of
   these instruments.

(j) Research and development expenses
   Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

                                                                            F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Information for September 30, 2000 and 2001 is unaudited)



   (k) Stock-based compensation
   SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires the
   measurement of the fair value of stock options or warrants granted to
   employees to be included in the statement of operations or, alternatively,
   disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements. The Company
   accounts for stock-based compensation for employees under Accounting
   Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
   Employees," and related interpretations and provides additional footnote
   disclosure as required under SFAS No. 123. The Company records the fair
   market value of stock options and warrants granted to nonemployees in
   exchange for services in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
   Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other
   than Employees," in the consolidated statement of operations.

   (l) Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share
   The Company applies SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which establishes
   standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic net income
   (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income
   (loss) by the weighted average number of unrestricted common shares
   outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by
   dividing net income by the diluted weighted average number of common and
   common-equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock
   equivalents include options to purchase common stock and convertible
   preferred stock. The weighted average number of common-equivalent shares has
   been determined in accordance with the treasury stock method for options and
   by using the if converted method from the date of issuance for convertible
   preferred stock. In accordance with the SAB No. 98, the Company has
   determined that there were no nominal issuances of the Company's stock prior
   to the Company's initial public offering. Pro forma net loss per share has
   been computed as described above and also gives effect to the conversion of
   convertible preferred stock that will automatically convert upon the
   completion of the Company's proposed initial public offering (using the
   if-converted method) from the original date of issuance. Upon consummation
   of the proposed initial public offering, all of the convertible preferred
   stock outstanding as September 30, 2001 will be converted into an aggregate
   of 6,599,186 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company will also
   issue 222,334 shares of common stock to the previous shareholders of
   Renalogics (see Note 11). These shares have been included in the calculation
   of pro forma earnings per share.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Information for September 30, 2000 and 2001 is unaudited)



(m) Concentration of credit risk
   SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with
   Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of
   Credit Risk," requires disclosure of any significant off-balance-sheet and
   credit risk concentrations. As of December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001,
   the Company has no significant off-balance-sheet or concentrations of credit
   risk. The Company's financial instruments that subject the Company to credit
   risk at December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001 consist of cash and cash
   equivalents. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with
   highly rated financial institutions. Concentration of credit risk with
   respect to accounts receivable is limited to certain customers with whom the
   Company has licensing agreements. To reduce risk, the Company routinely
   assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence,
   believes that its credit risk exposure is limited. To date, the Company has
   not experienced any material credit losses. The Company recorded revenues of
   greater than 10% of total revenues from the following customers for the
   years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the nine months ended
   September 30, 2000 and 2001 and for the period from inception (April 22,
   1994) to September 30, 2001:

   accounts receivable balance.

(n) Comprehensive income (loss)
   SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires disclosure of all
   components of comprehensive income (loss) on an annual and interim basis.
   Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business
   enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
   circumstances involving nonowner sources. The Company does not have any
   items of comprehensive income (loss) other than its reported net income
   (loss).

(o) Disclosures about segments of an enterprise
   SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
   Information," establishes standards for reporting information regarding
   operating segments and establishes standards for related disclosure about
   products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are
   identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete
   financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating
   decision maker, or decision making group, in making

(q) Accounting for derivative instruments
   On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137
   and No. 138, which establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives
   and hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives
   as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
   measure these instruments at fair value. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did
   not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

   In September 2000, the EITF issued Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for
   Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
   Company's Own Stock," which requires free-standing contracts that are
   settled in a company's own stock, including common stock options and
   warrants to third parties, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset
   or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, a contract
   designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value, with
   any changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. A contract
   designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity and no
   fair value adjustments are required. As of December 31, 2000 and September
   30, 2001, the Company has recorded all warrants and options to third parties
   as a component of equity based on the requirements of EITF Issue No. 00-19.

                                                                           F-13

(r) Recently issued accounting pronouncements
   In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
   No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
   Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations
   initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method of
   accounting. SFAS No. 142 discusses how intangible assets that are acquired
   should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition and
   also how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after
   they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Beginning
   on January 1, 2002, with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill and certain
   purchased intangibles existing on June 30, 2001 will no longer be subject to
   amortization over their estimated useful lives. Rather, the goodwill and
   certain purchased intangibles will be subject to an annual assessment for
   impairment based on fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 are required
   to be adopted starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
   The Company does not expect adoption of these statements to have a material
   impact on its financial position or results of operations.

   In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
   or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supersedes SFAS No. 121. SFAS No.
   144 further refines the requirements of SFAS No. 121 that companies (i)
   recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived
   asset is not recoverable based on its undiscounted future cash flows and
   (ii) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying
   amount and fair value of the asset. In addition, SFAS No. 144 provides
   guidance on accounting and disclosure issues surrounding long-lived assets
   to be disposed of by sale. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
   statement to have a material impact on its financial position or results of
   operations. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are required to be adopted
   starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.

(b) Royalties
   The Company has a number of agreements with various research firms and
   universities in which the Company has potential obligations to pay royalties
   upon the achievement of specific milestones, as defined. During the years
   ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000 and the nine months ended September
   30, 2000 and 2001 and for the period from inception (April 22, 1994) to
   September 30, 2001, the Company incurred $0, $120,000, $20,000, $15,000,
   $15,000 and $302,400, respectively, of royalties under these agreements,
   which are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
   as royalty expense. In connection with one agreement with a university, the
   Company is obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty of $20,000. The
   Company's obligation to pay this royalty shall continue until it is
   terminated by either party in accordance with provisions, as defined.

(c) Contingencies
   From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that
   arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues
   contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be
   made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of
   management, there are no pending claims whose outcome is expected to result
   in a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of
   operations of the Company.

(5) NOTES PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS

During 1996, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to investors
totaling $3,000,000. In March 1999, the notes payable to stockholders totaling
$3,000,000 were converted into 500,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred
stock at the fair market value of $6.00 per share, as determined by the
Company's Board of Directors and consistent with the price of previous
issuances of Series B convertible preferred stock. At the conversion date, the
accrued interest on the notes payable to stockholders totaled

                                                                           F-15

Board of Directors, and $575,332 of the accrued interest was forgiven. In

   The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A, Series B, Series C
   and Series D Preferred Stock are detailed below:

Dividends
   The Company is not required to pay dividends to any preferred stockholders.
   However, in the event of a dividend to common stockholders, Series A
   Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive dividends at a rate of $0.06
   per annum (8% of purchase price) prior to any dividend payments to common
   stockholders. Series B Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive
   dividends at a rate of $0.48 per annum (8% of purchase price) prior to any
   dividend payments to common stockholders. Series C Preferred stockholders
   are entitled to receive dividends at a rate of $0.82 per annum (8% of
   purchase price) prior to any dividend payments to common stockholders.
   Series D Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive dividends at a rate
   of $0.88 per annum (8% of purchase price) prior to any dividend payments to
   common stockholders. These dividends are not cumulative.

Liquidation
   In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
   winding-up, including the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
   the Company, as defined, the holders of Series A, Series B, Series C and
   Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid an
   amount equal to $0.75, $6.00, $10.21 and $11.00 per share, respectively plus
   any declared but unpaid dividends. As the potential liquidation event upon
   the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company could be
   deemed outside the control of the Company, the convertible preferred stock
   has been presented outside of stockholder's equity (deficit) in the
   accompanying financial statements. Since redemption is uncertain because it
   is based on a liquidation event, the Company has presented the preferred
   stock at issuance value. The following summarizes the liquidation values of
   Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock as of December 31,
   1999 and 2000 and September 30, 2001:



                                                 December 31,
                                             --------------------- September 30,
                                                   1999       2000          2001
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                          
Series A Preferred Stock.................... $  500,000 $  500,000   $   500,000
Series B Preferred Stock....................  7,901,454  7,901,454     7,901,454
Series C Preferred Stock....................         --  5,500,903     5,500,903
Series D Preferred Stock....................         --         --    44,845,174


   After the liquidation preference payments to all Preferred stockholders, the
   remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably among the
   holders of common stock and Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D
   Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of common stock that each
   series of Preferred Stock is then convertible into.

   If upon any such liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the
   remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its
   stockholders are insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Preferred
   Stock the full amount which they are entitled to, the holders of shares of
   Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining
   assets and funds of the Company in proportion to their aggregate liquidation
   amount.

                                                                           F-17

   Conversion
   Each share of Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock is
   convertible at the option of the holder, at any time, into one share of
   common stock, adjustable for certain dilutive events. An automatic
   conversion occurs into common stock at the then applicable conversion price
   upon the closing of a public offering in which the share price is not less
   than $15.00 per share (adjusted for specified events) and the aggregate
   proceeds to the Company are greater than $25,000,000.

   Voting rights
   The Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred stockholders are
   entitled to the number of votes for each share of common stock which the
   Preferred Stock is then convertible on most matters submitted to a vote of
   stockholders. In addition, Series A Preferred stockholders, voting as a
   separate class, are entitled to elect one director of the Company. Series B
   Preferred stockholders, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect
   one director of the Company.

   The Company must reserve a sufficient number of its authorized but unissued
   common stock to provide for the conversion of Series A, Series B, Series C
   and Series D Preferred Stock. Therefore, the following number of shares of
   common stock has been reserved as of September 30, 2001:


                                     
Series A Preferred Stock...............   666,667
Series B Preferred Stock............... 1,500,000
Series C Preferred Stock...............   538,776
Series D Preferred Stock............... 4,090,910
                                        ---------
                                        6,796,353
                                        =========


   (b) Common stock
   The Company has 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which a
   total of 1,607,830, 1,612,830 and 1,694,830 shares have been issued as of
   December 31, 1999, December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001, respectively.

   (c) Restricted common stock
   The Company has entered into a vesting and buyback agreement with a
   shareholder/member of the Board of Directors. The agreement provides that in
   the event that the shareholder is no longer on the Board of Directors, the
   Company has the right to repurchase any unvested shares from the stockholder
   at the original issuance price of $0.05 to $0.60 per share. The repurchase
   option on the 74,000 shares of restricted common stock outstanding at
   December 31, 2000 lapses on a monthly basis through 2004. As of December 31,
   2000, 64,467 shares of common stock were vested and 9,533 shares of common
   stock were subject to repurchase rights. In September 2001, the Company
   accelerated the vesting of the remaining unvested restricted shares for this
   Board member upon her resignation from the Board. The Company recorded a
   noncash compensation charge of approximately $79,000 during the nine months
   ended September 30, 2001 related to the acceleration of vesting and the
   Company's termination of the agreement to repurchase shares held by the
   Board member.

(7) Stock option plans

In March 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the 1995 Plan),
whereby the Board of Directors may grant incentive and nonstatutory stock
options. The Company initially reserved 500,000 shares of common stock for
issuance to eligible employees, directors of and consultants to the Company,
which was increased to 1,000,000 shares in June 1999 and to 1,500,000 shares in
September 1999. Options granted under the 1995 Plan expire no later than 10
years from the date of grant. For incentive stock options, the option price
shall be at least 100% of the fair value on the date of grant, and no less than
85% of the fair value for nonqualified stock options. If, at the time the
Company grants an incentive stock option, the optionee directly or by
attribution owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company, then the option price shall be at
least 110% of the fair value and shall not be exercisable more than five years
after the date of grant. Options generally vest over a period of four years
from the date of grant. Options may be granted with different vesting terms
from time to time. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had 47,609 shares
available for future grant under the 1995 Plan.

In November 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Incentive Award Plan (the 2001
Plan), whereby the Board of Directors may grant incentive and nonstatutory
stock options. The Company has reserved 700,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the 2001 Plan.

                                                                           F-19

(Information for September 30, 2000 and 2001 is unaudited)


The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option pricing models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions. Because the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and
because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the
fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee
stock options.

Because the Company accounts for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic
value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and its related
interpretations, no compensation expense has been recognized in the
consolidated financial statements at the date of grant for employee stock
option arrangements for which the exercise price is equal to the deemed fair
market value of the underlying shares at that date.

In connection with stock options granted to employees during the year ended
December 31, 2000 and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company
recorded deferred compensation of approximately $1,109,000 and $2,921,000,
which represents the aggregate difference between the option exercise price and
the deemed fair market value of the common stock determined for financial
reporting purposes on the grant date. The deferred compensation will be
recognized as an expense over the vesting period, generally four years, in
accordance with the method described in FASB Interpretation No. 28, "Accounting
for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans
(An Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 15 and No. 25"), of the underlying stock
options for options granted to employees. The Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense of $144,335 and $1,116,654 for the year ended December 31,
2000 and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, related to these
options.

At September 30, 2001, the remaining unamortized deferred stock-based
compensation totaled $2,769,064 and will be amortized over the following
periods (assuming no forfeitures):

From inception (April 22, 1994) though September 30, 2001, the Company has
issued options to purchase a total of 132,000 shares to nonemployees. These
options typically vest 25% upon the first anniversary of the vesting start date
and ratably on a monthly basis thereafter through 2003. The Company has
recorded the applicable stock-based compensation expense based on the fair
value of these options as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model
of $5,900, $16,460, $23,154, $11,771, $116,754 and $170,269 during the years

In December 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $63,114 related to the
acceleration of one executive's 25,625 unvested options on the date of his
termination. In January 2001, the former executive exercised his 102,500
options in a cashless exercise in exchange for 82,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. The cashless exercise of options utilizing immature shares
resulted in a new measurement date and the Company recorded a noncash
compensation charge of approximately $189,000 in relation to this exercise in
the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This charge was calculated based on
the fair market value on the date of exercise. This cashless exercise was not a
provision of the original plan and has only been granted to this one executive.

In September 2001, the Company accelerated the vesting and extended the
exercise term of options to two Board members who resigned. In connection with
this agreement, the Company recorded a noncash compensation charge of
approximately $665,000 related to the option modification in the nine months
ended September 30, 2001. This change was calculated based on the fair market
value on the date of the acceleration.

The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1998 consisted
of alternative minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. As of December 31, 1999
and 2000, the components of the net deferred tax assets are approximately as
follows:

At December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards and
research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $13,990,000
and $473,000, respectively. The federal net operating losses and the research
and development tax credits expire beginning in 2009 through 2020. In addition,
at December 31, 2000, the Company also had alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit
carryforwards of approximately $70,000. The carryforward period for the AMT
credit is unlimited. The use of these losses may be limited due to ownership
change limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(9) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

The Company has a simplified employee pension plan covering substantially all
of the Company's employees. Company matching contributions are at the
discretion of the Company's management. The Company has not made any
discretionary contributions from inception (April 22, 1994) through September
30, 2001.

(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In February 2000, the Company sold 489,804 shares of Series C Preferred Stock
to a customer at $10.21 per share for gross proceeds of $5,000,000. Total
revenues from this customer for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $1,436,387, $3,133,935, and
$673,019. No revenue was recognized from this customer in the year ended
December 31, 1998 or the nine months ended September 30, 2001. No portion of
the proceeds from the sales of Series C Preferred Stock were allocated to
revenue. In addition in March 2001, this customer purchased 200,000 shares of
Series D Preferred Stock at $11.00 per share. This price is consistent with
that paid by other investors.

In addition in May 2000, the Company issued an additional 48,972 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock to the owner of a molecule the Company was developing
as partial payment for licensing the molecule from this Company. The license
agreement was for $1,500,000, of which the Company paid $1,000,000 in cash and
issued stock valued at $500,000 based on a price of $10.21 per share.

                                                                           F-25

(11) ACQUISITIONS

Whitby Research
On April 25, 1994, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock
of Whitby Research (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whitby, Inc.) for $500,000 in
cash. Accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their
estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition, including approximately
$310,000 allocated to in-process purchased research and development costs and
approximately $190,000 allocated to property and equipment. In connection with
the purchase, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with Whitby, Inc.
for an indefinite period, in which the Company has agreed to pay future
royalties to Whitby, Inc. for certain patents, license and know-how fees
received by the Company. During the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000, the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 and for the period from
inception (April 22, 1994) to September 30, 2001, the Company incurred
approximately $492,000, $243,000, $28,000, $17,000, $0 and $1,108,000,
respectively, of royalties under the royalty agreement, which is included in
royalty expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Renalogics
On June 21, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Renalogics in exchange for a maximum of 259,161 shares of the Company's common
stock and 296,678 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock.

On June 21, 1999, the Company issued to the shareholders of Renalogics 155,497
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $0.60 per share or $93,298 and
178,008 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock valued at $6.00 per
share or $1,068,048 in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of
Renalogics. In addition, the Company forgave the principal of $192,830 and the
accrued interest of $2,795 related to the notes receivable entered into in
April and May of 1999 with Renalogics. In addition, the Company paid cash upon
the closing of the acquisition as settlement of the outstanding liabilities of
Renalogics of $27,423 that the Company was assuming as part of the acquisition.
The Company also incurred approximately $103,000 of legal, accounting and
consultation fees as a cost of this transaction. This transaction was accounted
for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 16,
"Accounting for Business Combinations." The purchase price of the acquisition
has been allocated as follows:


                                     
Purchased technology................... $1,472,762

The portion of the purchase price allocated to purchased technology represents
the licensing and research agreements with Emory University assumed by the
Company. Under these arrangements, the Company acquired the right to develop
and commercialize any intellectual property that resulted from Emory
University's efforts with respect to the development of a family of novel
anti-inflammatory molecules in exchange for certain milestone payments and
royalties based on sales of a product resulting from the intellectual property
of Emory University. The Company has paid approximately $0, $405,000, $136,000
and $541,000 in 1998, 1999, 2000 and for the period from inception (April 22,
1994) to

September 30, 2001, respectively, in payments in connection with the research
agreement with Emory University, which has been recorded as research and
development expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The Company estimated that there was value to the licensing agreement from
Emory University which they had purchased in the acquisition. Accordingly, the
Company capitalized the full amount to purchased technology and assigned it a
three-year life, management's estimate for the period of time it would take the
Company to recognize the value of the technology covered by the licensing
agreement. The Company began amortizing the purchased technology on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. In addition, the former
president of Renalogics became the president of the Company as of June 21, 1999.

During December 2000, the Company reevaluated the commercial potential of the
licensing agreement with Emory University and the employment arrangement it had
with the former president of Renalogics and concluded that it would not pursue
the further commercialization of this technology. Accordingly, the Company
terminated its licensing agreement with Emory University and wrote off the
remaining $742,242 of unamortized value of the purchased technology. In
addition, as of December 31, 2000, the Company terminated the former president
of Renalogics.

The Company is required to issue an additional 103,664 shares of its common
stock and 118,670 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock to the shareholders of
Renalogics upon closing of an underwritten initial public offering of the
Company's common stock at a price of at least $10.00 per share or upon the sale
of the Company for a price greater than $60 million. As of December 31, 2000,
none of these milestones had been achieved. As there is no longer value related
to the assets acquired in this acquisition, the Company will expense this
contingent purchase amount if it is paid based on the fair value of stock on
the date it is issued.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information combines the Company's
and Renalogics' results of operations as if the acquisition had taken place on
January 1, 1998. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what
the results of operations actually would have been if the transaction had

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Renalogics, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Renalogics, Inc. (a Georgia
corporation) as of December 31, 1998 and June 21, 1999, and the related
statements of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for year ended December 31, 1998, for
period from January 1, 1999 to June 21, 1999 and for the period from inception
(September 10, 1996) to June 21, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Renalogics, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the 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 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. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Renalogics, Inc. as of
December 31, 1998 and June 21, 1999, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for year ended December 31, 1998, for period from January 1, 1999 to
June 21, 1999 and for the period from inception (September 10, 1996) to June
21, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

(1) OPERATIONS

Renalogics, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated as a Georgia corporation on
September 10, 1996. The Company is engaged in the development and
commercialization of therapeutic products for the treatment of
glumerulonephritis and other diseases.

The Company is in the development stage and is devoting substantially all of
its efforts towards research and development. The Company incurred net losses
of approximately $1,925,000 during the period from inception (September 10,
1996) to June 21, 1999. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately
$1,934,000 as of June 21, 1999. The Company is subject to risks and challenges
similar to other development stage biotechnology companies. These risks
include, but are not limited to, dependence on key individuals, successful
development and marketing of its products, the ability to obtain adequate
financing to support growth and future operations and competition from
substitute products and larger companies with greater financial, technical,
management and marketing resources.

On June 21, 1999, Discovery Therapeutics, Inc. (Discovery) completed its
acquisition of the Company. In consideration for the acquisition of the
Company, the stockholders of the Company received 155,497 shares of Discovery's
common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 178,008 shares of Discovery's
Series B convertible preferred stock in exchange for all of the outstanding
capital stock of the Company. Discovery will issue the stockholders of the
Company an additional 103,664 shares of its common stock and 118,670 shares of
its Series B convertible preferred stock upon achievement of certain
milestones. In connection with the acquisition, the principal of $192,830 and
accrued interest of $2,795 of the notes due to Discovery were forgiven by
Discovery.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   (a) Basis of presentation
   The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it
   will continue as a going-concern, which contemplates the realization of
   assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
   The Company reported net losses of approximately $777,000 and $243,000 for
   the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the period from January 1, 1999 to
   June 21, 1999, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately
   $1,934,000 at June 21, 1999. However, as discussed in Note 1, the Company
   was acquired on June 21, 1999 by Discovery. Continuation of the Company's
   operations will be dependent on business decisions made by the management of
   Discovery, funding provided by Discovery and the Company's results of
   operations.

   (b) Use of estimates
   The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
   principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to
   make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the
   accompanying financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ
   from those estimates.

   (c) Cash and cash equivalents
   Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a
   maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                           F-33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 21, 1999


   (d) Research and development expenses
   The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.

   (e) Concentrations of credit risk
   Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit
   risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash
   balances with one highly rated financial institution.

   (f) Stock-based compensation
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
   Stock-Based Compensation," requires the measurement of the fair value of
   stock options or warrants granted to employees to be included in the
   statement of operations or, alternatively, disclosed in the notes to
   financial statements. The Company has determined that it will account for
   stock-based compensation of employees under the intrinsic value method of
   Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
   Issued to Employees," and elect the disclosure-only alternative under SFAS
   No. 123. The Company records the fair market value of stock options and
   warrants granted to nonemployees in exchange for services in accordance with
   Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity
   Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
   Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services," in the statement of
   operations. To date, there have been no option and no warrant grants to
   either employees or nonemployees.

   (g) Comprehensive loss
   SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires companies to report
   comprehensive income (loss) as a measure of overall performance.
   Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity during a period, except
   those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. For
   the period from inception (September 10, 1996) to June 21, 1999, the
   Company's comprehensive loss is the same as its reported net loss.

   (h) Fair value of financial instruments
   Financial instruments principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and
   notes payable to stockholders. The estimated fair values of these
   instruments approximates their carrying values. The estimated fair values
   have been determined through information obtained from market sources and
   management estimates.

   (i) Recently issued accounting pronouncements
   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
   No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
   SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
   instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137
   and SFAS No. 138, will be effective for the Company's financial reporting
   beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. SFAS No. 133 will require the
   Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
   statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
   The accounting for gains and losses from changes in the fair value of a
   particular derivative will depend on the intended use of the derivative. The
   Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 133 to have a material
   impact on the results of its operations or financial position.

(3) STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

   (a) Redeemable convertible preferred stock
   In September 1996, the Company sold 333,334 shares of Series A redeemable
   convertible preferred stock (Series A Preferred Stock) at $0.75 per share,
   resulting in net proceeds of $250,000. In May 1997, the Company sold 666,666
   shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $0.75 per share, resulting in net
   proceeds of $498,466. In November 1997, the Company sold 600,000 shares of
   Series A Preferred Stock at $1.25 per share, resulting in net proceeds of
   $742,873 of which $150,000 was not paid until 1998 and, therefore,
   represents the stock subscription receivable from Series A Redeemable
   Convertible Preferred stockholder in the accompanying financial statements.

   The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock are
   as follows:

   Dividends
   The Company is not required to pay dividends to any preferred stockholders.
   However, in the event a dividend is declared, Series A Preferred
   stockholders are entitled to receive dividends at a rate of $0.075 per share
   prior to any dividend payments to common stockholders. These dividends are
   not cumulative.

   Liquidation
   In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or
   winding-up of the Company, as defined, the holders of Series A Preferred
   Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the
   original purchase price per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends. As
   of December 31, 1998 and June 21, 1999, the liquidation value of Series A
   Preferred Stock was $1,500,000 and $1,712,559, respectively.

   After the liquidation preference payments to all Series A Preferred
   stockholders, the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed
   ratably among the holders of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock based
   on the number of shares of common stock that each share of Series A
   Preferred Stock is then convertible into.

   If upon any such liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the
   remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its
   stockholders are insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A
   Preferred Stock the full amount which they are entitled to, the holders of
   shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution
   of the remaining assets and funds of the Company in proportion to the
   respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares
   held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with
   respect to such shares were paid in full.

   Conversion
   Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the
   holder, at any time, into one share of common stock, adjustable for certain
   dilutive events. An automatic conversion occurs into common stock at the
   then applicable conversion price upon the closing of a public offering in
   which the share price is not less than $5.00 per share (adjusted for
   specified events) and the aggregate proceeds to the Company are not less
   than $15,000,000.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                           F-35



RENALOGICS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
June 21, 1999


   Voting rights
   The Series A Preferred stockholders are entitled to the number of votes for
   each share of common stock which the Series A Preferred Stock is then
   convertible on most matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. In
   addition, Series A Preferred stockholders, voting as a separate class, are
   entitled to elect four directors.

   Redemption rights
   The Company will be required to redeem, subject to certain conditions, on
   September 1, 2003, the mandatory redemption date, all of the outstanding
   Series A Preferred Stock at a price equal to the purchase price per share
   plus any declared but unpaid dividends.

   (b) Common stock
   The Company has 6,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which
   1,583,333 shares have been issued as of June 21, 1999. As of June 21, 1999,
   the Company has reserved a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock for the
   conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

(4) NOTES PAYABLE

   On October 15, 1998, the Company executed notes payable to various
   stockholders for $200,000. The Company has the option to convert these notes
   payable into shares of preferred stock. The notes bear interest at a rate of
   10% per annum and mature on the earlier of conversion into preferred stock
   or June 30, 1999, as amended. On May 31, 1999, the Company converted the
   principal of $200,000 and the accrued interest of $12,559 into 212,559
   shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

   During 1999, the Company also received $192,830 from Discovery in the form
   of a note payable. The note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and
   matures on the earlier of the date that is 15 days after the closing of a
   transaction or December 31, 1999. Upon acquisition this note plus the
   accrued interest of $2,795 was forgiven.

(5) INCOME TAXES

   The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in
   accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
   Taxes," whereby deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized based on
   temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of
   assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates.

   No income tax provision or benefit has been recorded for the period from
   inception (September 10, 1996) to June 21, 1999.

   As of June 21, 1999, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately
   $803,000 related primarily to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards
   of approximately $1,923,000, which expire through 2019, and research and
   development credit carryforwards of approximately $71,000. The Company has
   not recognized any of its potential tax benefits in the accompanying
   financial statements because the future realizability of such assets is
   uncertain. The use of losses may be limited due to ownership change
   limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   For the year ended December 31 1998, the period from January 1, 1999 to June
   21, 1999 and the period from inception (September 10, 1996) to June 21,
   1999, the Company paid consulting fees to various shareholders which totaled
   approximately $354,000, $148,000 and $778,000, respectively.

   In May 1997, the Company entered into licensing and research agreements with
   Emory University (Emory) under which Emory agreed to assign certain patent
   and other rights to the Company and perform various research and development
   services for the Company. Under these agreements, the Company agreed to pay
   Emory through February 1999 total fees of approximately $700,000 and 83,333
   shares of the Company's common stock. During 1997, the Company issued Emory
   83,333 shares of its common stock. The Company recorded this transaction at
   the deemed fair value of the common stock on the grant date totaling $833,
   which was more clearly evident than the fair value of the consideration
   received. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the period from January
   1, 1999 and June 21, 1999 and the period from inception (September 10, 1996)
   to June 21, 1999, the Company incurred approximately $278,000, $22,000 and
   $700,000 of costs related to these agreements, which are included in
   research and development expenses. In addition, there are minimum royalties
   or royalties based on sales of products developed under the agreement. As of
   June 21, 1999, none of the criteria had been achieved related to this
   additional consideration.

                                                                           F-37

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in effect as of the date
hereof, and our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be in effect upon the
closing of this offering (collectively, the "Certificate") provide that, except
to the extent prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
(the "DGCL"), the Registrant's directors shall not be personally liable to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary
duty as directors of the Registrant. Under the DGCL, the directors have a
fiduciary duty to the Registrant which is not eliminated by this provision of
the Certificate and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as
injunctive or other forms of nonmonetary relief will remain available. In
addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability under the DGCL
for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or
omissions which are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be not in
good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law,
for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for
payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are
prohibited by the DGCL. This provision also does not affect the directors'
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the Federal securities laws or
state or Federal environmental laws. The Registrant has applied for liability
insurance for its officers and directors.

Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and
officers and to purchase insurance with respect to liability arising out of
their capacity or status as directors and officers, provided that this
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) arising under
Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. The DGCL provides further that the
indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which the directors and officers may be entitled under the
corporation's bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise. The
Certificate eliminates the personal liability of directors to the fullest
extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL and provides that the
Registrant may fully indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be

made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is
or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent as to which indemnification will be
required or permitted under the Certificate. The Registrant is not aware of any
threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for such
indemnification.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The following sets forth information regarding all securities sold by the
registrant since January 1, 1999:

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at
the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(1) or (4), or
497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and this offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
