                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

   This summary highlights information described more fully elsewhere in this
prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus, including "Risk Factors" and
the financial statements and related notes, before making an investment
decision.

                                  Our Business

   We design, develop and manufacture innovative, sustained-release drug
delivery products. Our products are designed to treat severe and chronic
diseases that have limited or no effective treatment options and represent
significant market opportunities. We design our products to deliver an
appropriate quantity of approved drugs directly to a target site at a
controlled rate for a predetermined period of time ranging from days to years.
We have developed proprietary technologies that serve as platforms for our
products. We believe these technologies will allow us to extend the therapeutic
value of a wide variety of drugs while virtually eliminating both the
variations in drug concentration at the target site and the adverse side
effects characteristic of most traditional drug treatments.


   We have obtained Food and Drug Administration approval for and
commercialized one product based on our proprietary Aeon technology. Vitrasert,
our Aeon product for the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis, or CMV
retinitis, a blinding eye disease afflicting late-stage AIDS patients, has been
sold since 1996 and is currently one of the most effective approved treatments
for this disease. We have additional Aeon products in clinical trials for the
treatment of diabetic macular edema, posterior uveitis and wet age-related
macular degeneration, three leading causes of blindness that we estimate affect
over 1.4 million eyes in the United States. The FDA has granted an expedited
review, called "fast track," to the approval process for two of these products.
Our pipeline also includes products for the treatment of brain tumors, dry age-
related macular degeneration, post-surgical pain and severe osteoarthritis. Our
products are currently at the following stages of development:





   Disease                  Stage of Development
   -------                  --------------------
                         
   CMV retinitis            FDA approved and commercialized
   Diabetic macular edema   Phase III trials (fast track)
   Posterior uveitis        Phase IIb/III trials (fast track)
   Wet age-related macular
    degeneration            Multi-center Phase II trials
   Brain tumors             Completed investigator-sponsored, Phase I/II trial
   Dry age-related macular
    degeneration            Pre-clinical development
   Post-surgical pain       Pre-clinical development
   Severe osteoarthritis    Pre-clinical development



   We have agreements with Bausch & Lomb Incorporated for the development and
marketing of our products to treat eye diseases. Bausch & Lomb's total
commitment to the joint development of our three ophthalmic products in
clinical trials is approximately $206 million. This includes approximately $137
million of collaborative research and development, milestone and license fee
payments Bausch & Lomb has agreed to make to us, approximately $37 million of
which we have received as of March 31, 2002. Bausch & Lomb has also agreed to
pay us royalties on sales of our ophthalmic products and is publicizing our
Aeon technology under the Envision TD brand name.


                     Drawbacks of Traditional Drug Delivery

   Severe and chronic diseases, such as blinding eye diseases, cancer, severe
osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, afflict millions of
people each year and are becoming more prevalent as the population ages.
Despite continuing advances in medical and pharmaceutical technologies, current
treatment options for many of these diseases are inadequate. Where drug
treatments for these


                                       1



diseases exist, the drugs are usually delivered by systemic methods, such as
oral ingestion or injection, which require the drugs to travel throughout the
body to the intended site. This type of treatment typically offers only
temporary or limited therapeutic benefits and may cause harmful side effects.
Some drugs are too potent to be delivered systemically in the quantities
necessary for treatment, while others are theoretically effective but are
unable to penetrate the natural barriers that surround some areas of the body.
For drug treatment to be effective, an appropriate amount of drug must be
delivered to the intended site in the body and then be maintained there for an
adequate period of time. As a result, the manner in which a drug is delivered
can be as important to the ultimate therapeutic value of the treatment as the
intrinsic properties of the drug itself.


                      Advantages of Our Technologies


   Our technologies are designed to solve the problems posed by traditional
drug delivery methods. Our lead technology, the Aeon system, is a drug
reservoir or pellet surrounded by layers of polymer coatings that control the
release of the drug. Our second technology, the Codrug system, chemically links
two or more drugs together into a single product that separates into the
original drugs over time. Key advantages of products using our technologies
include:


  . Localized Delivery. We design our products to be implanted directly at a
    target site, using the natural barriers of the body to isolate and
    maintain appropriate concentrations of drug at the site, thereby
    maximizing therapeutic value and minimizing adverse side effects.


  . Controlled Release Rate. We design our products to release drugs at a
    controlled rate in order to maintain the optimal dosage level at a target
    site and virtually eliminate variability in drug concentration over time.

  . Extended Delivery. We design our products to deliver drugs for extended,
    predetermined periods of time ranging from days to years, eliminating the
    risk of inconsistent administration.

   In addition, because our products in clinical trials deliver drugs already
approved by the FDA for the treatment of other diseases and are based on Aeon
technology used in our commercialized Vitrasert product, we believe we may be
able to develop these and future products in less time, at a lower cost and
with less risk than is typically associated with drug discovery and
development.


                                  Our Strategy

   Our objective is to revolutionize the treatment of the severe and chronic
diseases that we target and to develop products that become the standard of
care for these diseases. In order to achieve this objective, we intend to:

  . Focus on severe and chronic diseases that represent significant market
    opportunities,

  . Rapidly commercialize our products for blinding eye diseases,

  . Extend our technologies into additional therapeutic areas,


  . Use both additional marketing alliances and independent marketing
    capabilities for the distribution of our products, and


  . Expand our manufacturing, sales and marketing capabilities.

                                  RISK FACTORS

   An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with
the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide whether
to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our
business and prospects could suffer significantly. In any of these cases, the
market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part
of your investment in our common stock.

We have a history of losses and, if we do not generate sufficient revenue from
sales of our proposed products, we may not achieve profitability.


   We have incurred operating losses in each of our last three years and, as of
March 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $16.6 million.
We expect to continue to incur losses over at least the next several years as
we continue to incur increasing costs for research and development, clinical
trials and other purposes. Royalties from sales of Vitrasert, our one
commercial product, have declined in each of the past three years and in the
first quarter of 2002, and we expect that they will not comprise a significant
portion of our future revenue. As a result, our ability to achieve
profitability depends upon our ability, alone or with others, to complete
development of, obtain required regulatory clearances for and manufacture and
market our proposed products.


If we experience difficulty raising needed capital in the future, the growth of
our company may be curtailed.

   We have expended and will continue to expend substantial funds to complete
the research, development, clinical testing, manufacturing and
commercialization of our proposed products. We believe our current level of
cash and anticipated future revenues under our existing agreements, together
with the net proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to support our
current operating plan for at least the next two years. However, we may require
additional funds if the research, development, approval and marketing of our
products and the development of internal manufacturing, marketing and sales
capabilities take longer or cost more than we expect, if any necessary
increases or extensions of funding under our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb
are not approved or if that agreement is terminated. During 2002, we expect to
incur research and development and general and administrative expenses of
approximately $37 million, of which approximately $18 million relate to our
three proposed eye products that we expect will be funded by Bausch & Lomb
under our 1999 license agreement. However, we do not have any third-party
funding for the development of any other products, and we may require
additional funds to pursue their development. We expect our research and
development costs associated with non-ophthalmic products to increase
significantly in the future. Additional financing may not be available on
acceptable terms, if at all, and we may need to delay, reduce the scope of, or
eliminate one or more of our development programs, which could materially
curtail the growth of our business.


If the clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval of our proposed
products are not successful, we or any marketing partner will be unable to sell
them.


   Of our products, only Vitrasert has been approved for sale in the United
States and foreign countries. Before we or any development partner can obtain
approval from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and foreign regulatory
authorities to manufacture and sell our proposed products, pre-clinical studies
and clinical trials must demonstrate that each of these products is safe for
human use and effective for its targeted disease. Our proposed products are in
various stages of pre-clinical and clinical testing. If clinical trials for our
products are not successful, our products cannot be manufactured and sold, and
we may be unable to generate future revenues sufficient to achieve
profitability.


                                       5



   Our product candidates for diabetic macular edema, posterior uveitis and wet
age-related macular degeneration are in Phase II and III clinical trials that
we estimate will take from one to three years or more to complete, even under
expedited FDA review procedures. Our clinical trials may fail or be delayed by
many factors, including the following:


  . inability to attract clinical investigators for trials,


  . inability to recruit patients at the expected rate,


  . failure of the trials to demonstrate a product's safety or efficacy,

  . unavailability of FDA accelerated approval processes,


  . inability to follow patients adequately after treatment,


  . changes in the design of a product,


  . inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of materials to use for
    clinical trials, and



  . unforeseen governmental or regulatory delays.



   Results from pre-clinical testing and early clinical trials often do not
accurately predict results of later clinical trials. Data obtained from pre-
clinical and clinical activities are susceptible to varying interpretations
which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. We or independent
investigators have tested our product candidates in clinical trials on only a
limited number of patients, and any conclusions drawn from these trials are
preliminary and subject to revision. Further trials may not be undertaken or
may ultimately fail to establish the safety and efficacy of these products, and
the FDA may not approve our products for manufacture and sale.


   Our proposed products may cause unacceptable side effects, which could
delay, limit or prevent their regulatory approvals, or cause their regulatory
approvals to be rescinded. Corticosteroids such as the one being utilized in
our proposed ophthalmic products have expected localized side effects,
including cataracts and elevated intraocular pressure. Some patients in early
clinical trials of our ophthalmic products experienced these side effects, as
well as optic nerve swelling. Some of these side effects were controlled with
eyedrops or glaucoma surgery, while in other cases the implant had to be
removed. The incidence of these side effects was generally lower in the eyes
treated with lower dosages, and we intend to use these lower dosages in our
subsequent clinical trials. However, these side effects may occur in patients
receiving the lower dosages, and the lower dosages may not prove to be safe and
effective.


   In a Phase I/II clinical study of our product for wet age-related macular
degeneration, some patients experienced additional side effects such as retinal
detachment, intra-retinal bleeding, retinal edema and visual abnormalities.
While we believe that these additional side effects were related to the
extremely poor condition of the eyes treated in the study, most of which had
forms of macular eye disease other than age-related macular degeneration and a
history of prior surgical interventions, these side effects may occur in future
clinical trials, and our product for wet age-related macular degeneration may
not prove to be safe and effective.




   Because our currently proposed products for the treatment of eye diseases
employ the same technology and deliver the same drug, the failure of one of our
products to demonstrate safety and efficacy in clinical trials may delay or
prevent development or approval of our other products and hinder our ability to
conduct related pre-clinical testing and clinical trials.


                                       6



Fast track designation and orphan drug designation may not actually lead to
faster development, regulatory review or approval.


   The FDA has granted fast track designation to our product for the treatment
of diabetic macular edema and both fast track and orphan drug designation to
our product for the treatment of posterior uveitis. Although these designations
make these products eligible for expedited approval procedures, neither of
these designations ensures faster development, review or approval compared to
the conventional FDA procedures. The FDA may withdraw the fast track
designations if it determines that the designations are no longer supported by
emerging data from clinical trials and may withdraw the orphan drug or fast
track designation if it determines that the criteria for those designations are
no longer satisfied.


   We intend to rely upon the FDA's accelerated approval procedures under the
fast track program to seek approval for our diabetic macular edema product in
2003. If the FDA does not approve our product utilizing accelerated approval
procedures, its consideration of this product for approval would be delayed
until 2006 or later following completion of additional clinical trials. Even if
the FDA approves our diabetic macular edema product under the accelerated
approval procedures, we will be required to conduct longer term, post-approval
studies, and the FDA may withdraw its approval if we fail to conduct these
studies or if they fail to verify that the product is safe and provides a
clinically meaningful benefit to patients.


   Bausch & Lomb intends to seek approval for our uveitis product in 2003 using
an expedited approval process that the FDA may discretionarily extend to
products with orphan drug or fast track designation. If the FDA does not
exercise its discretion to permit the current development strategy for this
product, Bausch & Lomb may not be able to obtain approval based on data from
the current clinical trials and may need to perform additional or different
trials, which would delay FDA consideration of this product for approval.


   Because our initial clinical trial data will not provide three years of
efficacy data, we expect the initial labeling period for our diabetic macular
edema and uveitis products will be for less than three years. We expect to
request supplemental approvals for these products to extend the labeling period
if supported by subsequent data.




   Please see "Business--Government Regulation" for a more detailed description
of fast track designation, orphan drug designation and related approval
procedures.








Failure to demonstrate the consistent safety and efficacy of varying
proportions of the different forms of the drug used in our proposed Aeon
products for the treatment of eye disease could cause a significant increase in
expense and delay in the commercialization of our proposed products.


   We use a compound, fluocinolone acetonide, as the active ingredient in our
Aeon products for the treatment of diabetic macular edema, posterior uveitis
and wet age-related macular degeneration. This compound exists primarily in two
different forms. The implants used in clinical trials to date have employed a
drug containing a combination of these two forms. However, we cannot be certain
that future supplies of fluocinolone acetonide will contain these two forms in
approximately the same proportions. We are presently investigating whether
variations in the proportions of the two forms of our active ingredient would
affect the stability, performance or manufacturing process for our products. If
we are unable to demonstrate that different combinations of the two forms of
our active ingredient are equivalent in these respects, we or Bausch & Lomb
will either have to use only floucinolone acetonide containing the same
combination of the two forms used in clinical trials or repeat some or all of
the pre-clinical and clinical trials. Repeating pre-clinical or clinical
testing of our proposed products could cause a significant increase in expense
and delay in the commercialization of our proposed products.


                                       7



If sufficient quantities of the drug used in our Aeon products are not
available, we and our development partner may be unable to manufacture our
products for testing or commercial sales.


   Sufficient quantities of the drug used in our Aeon products for the
treatment of diabetic macular edema, posterior uveitis and wet age-related
macular degeneration may not be available to support the continued research,
development or manufacture of these products for commercial sale. The drug is
currently available from a single outside source, and the supply of this drug
could be terminated at any time. If we or our development partner experience a
delay in obtaining or are unable to obtain this drug on terms we find
commercially acceptable, or at all, from our current source, we may be required
to attempt to obtain it from another source. Failure to identify and make
commercially acceptable arrangements with such an alternate source could delay
or stop development of our Aeon products currently in clinical trials.


If Bausch & Lomb terminates its agreements with us or does not successfully
participate in the development of, manufacture, market, distribute and sell our
ophthalmic products, we may not generate revenue or achieve profitability.


   Bausch & Lomb has exclusive rights to any products we develop to treat
conditions of the eye, including Vitrasert and our three ophthalmic products
currently in clinical trials. Bausch & Lomb is participating in and funding the
development of these three products and will manufacture and sell them. We
derived 86% of our total revenues in 1999, 89% of our total revenues in 2000,
98% of our total revenues in 2001 and 100% of our total revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 from our agreements with Bausch & Lomb. Bausch &
Lomb can terminate its agreements with us at any time without cause and on
short notice. Bausch & Lomb may change its strategic focus, pursue alternative
technologies, develop competing products or take other actions which could
result in its termination of the agreements. Since we do not currently have
sufficient funding or the manufacturing or sales and marketing capabilities to
fully commercialize all of our proposed products for the treatment of eye
disease, any breach or termination of these agreements by Bausch & Lomb could
delay or stop the development or commercialization of these products. If Bausch
& Lomb fails to successfully participate in the development of, manufacture,
market or sell our products on a timely basis, we may not generate revenue or
achieve profitability.


If we change our estimates of the costs of completing research and development
activities under our 1999 Bausch & Lomb agreement, we may, as a result of our
accounting method, recognize significantly different revenue than anticipated
during a reporting period.


   We use a percentage of completion method of accounting for revenues from
research and development activities. We recognize revenues from collaborative
research and development activities under our 1999 Bausch & Lomb agreement
based on the actual costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs to
complete research and development activities at each reporting period. We may
need to change our estimates of the costs associated with completing research
and development activities under the 1999 Bausch & Lomb agreement due to
unforeseen increases or decreases in costs or other unforeseen events and
circumstances. Because we receive such a large percentage of our total revenues
from activities under this agreement, revisions in these cost estimates may
require us to recognize significantly less or more revenue than anticipated for
a particular period, or in some cases, even recognize negative revenue for a
period. Significant and unexpected changes in revenue could result in a
negative reaction from the investment community and a decline in our stock
price.


If we do not successfully develop adequate manufacturing capabilities, we may
be unable to produce our products in sufficient quantities or at an acceptable
cost, if at all.

   We have limited manufacturing experience and have no experience
manufacturing our products on a commercial scale. However, we intend to develop
the capacity to manufacture all of


                                       8



our proposed products at an acceptable cost from early clinical trials through
commercialization. We may be unable to develop this manufacturing capability in
a cost-effective, timely fashion, or at all. If we are unable to develop an
independent manufacturing capability, we will be dependent on third parties to
manufacture our proposed products and may be unable to obtain these products in
sufficient quantities or at an acceptable cost. Bausch & Lomb has the exclusive
right to manufacture our ophthalmic products. Our agreement with Bausch & Lomb
provides that we may serve as a primary or secondary manufacturer, but the
manufacturing capability we are developing may not be required for these
products.


   We are developing facilities to permit the commercial manufacture of our
proposed products. However, the FDA and other regulators generally do not
approve a facility for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical product until that
product has itself been approved. The FDA or other regulators may not approve
our facility or, once approved, may not continue to certify its compliance with
FDA or other manufacturing standards. If these approvals are not obtained and
maintained, the regulatory authorities could prevent us from manufacturing
products at the facility, impose restrictions on the products we manufacture at
the facility or require us to withdraw those products from the market.


If we do not successfully develop marketing and sales capabilities, we may be
unable to market and commercialize our non-ophthalmic products successfully.

   We do not have significant internal marketing or sales capabilities and
currently depend entirely on the marketing efforts of Bausch & Lomb with
respect to our products for the treatment of eye disease. However, a key part
of our strategy is to develop these capabilities to reduce our dependence on
third parties for other products. If we do not successfully develop sales and
marketing capabilities, we may be unable to compete effectively against our
competitors, many of which have extensive and well-funded marketing and sales
operations, and we may have to rely on arrangements with third parties. This
may result in unexpected delays or failures to market and commercialize our
proposed non-ophthalmic products successfully.


If users of our proposed products are unable to obtain adequate reimbursement
from third-party payors, market acceptance of our proposed products may be
limited.

   Successful commercialization of our proposed products will depend in part on
the extent to which health care providers receive appropriate reimbursement
levels from governmental authorities, private health insurers and other
organizations for our products and related treatments. Third-party payors are
increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services.
If health care providers do not receive adequate reimbursement for our
products, they or their patients may not use them.


If we cannot retain our key personnel or hire additional qualified personnel,
we may experience delays or failures in product development or approval, loss
of sales and diversion of management resources.

   Our success will depend to a significant degree upon the continued services
of key management, technical and scientific personnel, including Paul Ashton,
our President and Chief Executive Officer. Although we have obtained a key man
life insurance policy on Dr. Ashton, this insurance may not adequately
compensate us for the loss of his services. In addition, we must attract and
retain other highly skilled personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in
our industry is intense, and the process of hiring and integrating qualified
personnel is often lengthy. We may not recruit qualified personnel on a timely
basis, if at all. Our management and other employees may voluntarily terminate
their employment with us at any time. The loss of the services of key
personnel, or the inability to attract and retain additional qualified
personnel, could result in delays or failures in product development or
approval, loss of sales and diversion of management resources.


                                       9


We expect intense competition from alternative treatments for our targeted
diseases that may reduce or eliminate the demand for our products.

   We expect that our proposed products, if approved, will compete with
existing therapies for our targeted diseases as well as new drugs, therapies,
drug delivery systems or technological approaches that may be developed to
treat these diseases or their underlying causes. We believe that academic
institutions, government agencies, research institutions and biotechnology and
pharmaceutical companies, including other drug delivery companies, are working
to develop other drugs, therapies, drug delivery products, technological
approaches and methods of preventing or treating diseases on which we focus.
Any of these drugs, therapies, products, approaches or methods may receive
government approval or gain market acceptance more rapidly than our proposed
products, may offer therapeutic or cost advantages or may cure our targeted
diseases or their underlying causes completely. This would reduce demand for
our proposed products and could render them noncompetitive or obsolete. For
example, sales of our Vitrasert product for the treatment of CMV retinitis, a
disease which affects people with late-stage AIDS, have declined significantly
because of new treatments that delay the onset of late-stage AIDS.

   For many of our targeted diseases, competitors have alternative therapies
that are already commercialized or are in various stages of development ranging
from discovery to advanced clinical trials. For example, Eli Lilly and Company
is in advanced trials for its protein kinase C beta inhibitor for the treatment
of diabetic macular edema. Novartis AG and QLT Inc. are currently marketing
their Visudyne(TM) photodynamic therapy for the treatment of wet age-related
macular degeneration. Octreotide, a Novartis product approved for cancer
chemotherapy, is currently in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of
diabetic retinopathy. Novartis also markets a cyclosporine product for the
treatment of uveitis. Oculex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Allergan, Inc. have
entered into a collaboration agreement to develop products to treat diseases
occurring in the retina and the back of the eye based on Oculex's drug delivery
technologies. In addition, Allergan, EntreMed, Inc. and Oculex are
collaborating on a program to develop a biodegradable implant for the treatment
of age-related macular degeneration that is at the pre-clinical development
stage. Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has an intraocular injectable product in
Phase II clinical trials to treat both wet age-related macular degeneration and
diabetic eye disease. Alcon, Inc. is developing an ocular injection for the
treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration and has recently reported
promising data from its Phase II clinical trials of this product. Guilford
Pharmaceuticals Inc. has developed its Gliadel(R) wafer implant for the
treatment of brain tumors. Various cyclooxygenase 2, or COX-2, inhibitors, such
as VIOXX(R) marketed by Merck & Co., Inc. and Celebrex(R) co-marketed in the
United States by Pharmacia Corporation and Pfizer Inc., are used for the
treatment of osteoarthritis.


   The capital resources, manufacturing and marketing experience, research and
development resources and production facilities of many of our competitors and
potential competitors are much greater than ours. Many of them also have much
more experience in pre-clinical testing and clinical trials and in obtaining
FDA and foreign approvals. In addition, they may succeed in obtaining patents
that would make it difficult or impossible for us to compete with their
products.



Patent protection for our products is important and uncertain. If we do not
protect our intellectual property, we will be subject to increased competition.


   Our commercial success will depend in part on our ability to protect our
proprietary products and processes from unauthorized use by third parties. We
will only be able to protect our proprietary products and processes to the
extent that they are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are
effectively maintained as trade secrets.


   We try to protect our proprietary technology by seeking to obtain United
States and foreign patents in our name, or licenses to third-party patents,
related to proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that may be
important to the development of our business. However, our patent position,
like that of other biotechnology, pharmaceutical or medical device companies,
is highly


                                       10



uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. The standards which
the United States Patent and Trademark Office and its foreign counterparts use
to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can
change. There is no uniform worldwide jurisprudence, or policy among patent
offices, regarding the subject matter and scope of claims granted or allowable
in medical device or pharmaceutical patents. Consequently, we cannot be certain
as to the type and scope of patent claims that may be issued to us or our
licensors, or the extent to which any issued claims may be upheld, may be
enforceable or may be substantially narrowed by litigation or government agency
actions. In addition, the agreements under which we license third-party patents
require that we meet specified diligence requirements in order to keep our
licenses. We cannot be certain that we will satisfy these requirements.


   Prior art may reduce the scope or protection of, or invalidate, patents.
Previously conducted research or published discoveries of compounds or
processes may prevent patents from being granted, invalidate issued patents or
narrow the scope of any protection obtained. Reduction in scope of protection
or invalidation of our licensed or owned patents, or our inability to obtain
patents, may enable other companies to develop products that compete with ours
on the basis of the same or similar technology. As a result, any patents that
we own or license from others may not provide any or sufficient protection
against competitors.


   We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology which are not
protected by patents to maintain our competitive position. We try to protect
this information by entering into confidentiality agreements with parties that
have access to it, such as our corporate partners, collaborators, employees,
and consultants. Any of these parties could breach the agreements and disclose
our confidential information, or our competitors might learn of the information
in some other way. If any trade secret, know-how or other technology not
protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a
competitor, our competitive position could be materially harmed.


Protecting our proprietary technology is expensive, and if our technology
infringes the intellectual property rights of others, we may be unable to
manufacture and sell our proposed products.


   Obtaining and protecting patent and proprietary rights is expensive. Patents
must be prosecuted and may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or may
interfere with the patents of others. We or our licensors may need to
participate in proceedings before patent offices or resort to litigation to
enforce patents or to determine the scope and validity of our or a third
party's proprietary rights. We could incur substantial costs in connection with
any proceeding or litigation, and our management's efforts would be diverted,
regardless of the results of the proceeding or litigation.


   Issued patents or pending applications that issue may restrict or prevent
the manufacture and sale of our proposed products, and we or our development
partners may be subject to infringement claims based on current or later
granted patents. An unfavorable decision in any proceeding or litigation could
result in significant liabilities to third parties, require us and our
development partner to cease manufacturing or selling the affected products or
using the affected processes, prevent us from extending our technologies into
new products and areas or require us to license the disputed rights from third
parties. In such an event, our business would be harmed if we could not obtain
a license on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or if we were unable to
redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement.





Because of the nature of our products, we could be exposed to significant
product liability claims which could be time-consuming and costly, divert
management attention and adversely affect our ability to obtain and maintain
insurance coverage.

   Because our proposed products are designed to be implanted in the body, and
because medical outcomes are inherently uncertain, the testing, manufacture,
marketing and sale of these products

                                       11



involve an inherent risk that product liability claims will be asserted against
us. We have insured against claims that may be brought against us in connection
with clinical trials and commercial sales of our products. However, this
insurance may not fully cover the costs of claims or damages we might be
required to pay. Product liability claims or other claims related to our
products, regardless of their outcome, could require us to spend significant
time and money in litigation, divert management time and attention, require us
to pay significant damages, harm our reputation or hinder acceptance of our
products. Any successful product liability claim may prevent us from obtaining
adequate product liability insurance in the future on commercially desirable or
reasonable terms. Product liability coverage may cease to be available in
sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost. An inability to obtain sufficient
insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise to protect against
potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the
commercialization of our products. A product liability claim could also
significantly harm our reputation and delay or prevent market acceptance of our
products.


The market price of our common stock after this offering may fluctuate widely
and rapidly and may fall below the initial public offering price.

   There is currently no public market for our common stock, and an active
trading market may not develop or be sustained after this offering. We and the
underwriters' representatives will negotiate an

initial public offering price that may not be indicative of the market price
for our common stock after this offering. As a result, the market price of our
stock could fall below the initial public offering price. In addition, the
securities of many biotechnology, drug development and pharmaceutical companies
have experienced extreme price and trading volume fluctuations in recent years,
often unrelated or disproportionate to the companies' operating performances.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly as a result
of many factors including:


  . results of clinical trials,


  . receipt and timing of FDA approvals of our products, if granted, and
    withdrawals of approval, if any,


  . receipt of payments from collaborative development partners, including
    Bausch & Lomb,


  . amendments to or the termination of agreements with collaborative
    development partners, including Bausch & Lomb,


  . our financial performance,

  . failure to meet analysts' or investors' expectations,

  . economic and stock market conditions,

  . changes in evaluations and recommendations by securities analysts
    following our stock or our industry generally,


  . announcements by other companies in our industry,


  . changes in business or regulatory conditions,

  . announcements or implementation by us or our competitors of technological
    innovations or new products,

  .  advancements with respect to treatment of the diseases treated by our
     products,


  . the trading volume of our common stock, or

  . other factors unrelated to our company or industry.

                                       12


   Following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's
securities, stockholders often have instituted securities class action
litigation against that company. If we become involved in a class action suit,
it could divert the attention of management, and, if adversely determined,
could require us to pay significant damages.

If we or our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock after
the offering, the market price of our common stock may decline.

   Our sale or the resale by our stockholders of shares of our common stock
after this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to
decline. After this offering, we will have 28,916,766 shares of common stock
outstanding, based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding on April
15, 2002. All of the shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable
without restriction.


   As of April 15, 2002, options to purchase 2,800,053 shares of our common
stock were outstanding. Many of these options are subject to vesting that
generally occurs over a period of up to five years following the date of grant.
We intend to file a registration statement following this offering to permit
the sale of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of these options.

   The holders of the common stock issuable upon conversion of our preferred
stock and holders of a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock have
registration rights with respect to the resale of their shares to the public.
Please read our discussion of registration rights under "Description of Capital
Stock."

   The holders of substantially all of our stock will have signed lock-up
agreements before the commencement of this offering. Under these lock-up
agreements, these stockholders have agreed, subject to certain limited
exceptions, not to sell any shares owned by them as of the effective date of
this prospectus for a period of 180 days after that date, unless they first
obtain the written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. At the end of 180
days, unless earlier waived by Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., lock-up
restrictions covering approximately 23,175,000 shares of our common stock will
end.


You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

   If you purchase common stock in this offering, you will pay more for your
shares than the amounts paid by existing stockholders for their shares. As a
result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of approximately
$10.05 per share, representing the difference between our net tangible book
value per share after giving effect to this offering and the initial public
offering price. For more information, see "Dilution."


Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Delaware law
may delay or prevent a change in our management.

   Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Delaware law
could delay or prevent a change in our management, even if the stockholders
desire such a change. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain the
following provisions, among others, which may inhibit a change in our
management:

  . a board of directors that is staggered in three classes,

  . advance notification procedures for matters to be brought before
    stockholder meetings,

                                       13


  . a limitation on who may call stockholder meetings,

  . a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, and

  . an authorization of 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock
    that we may issue with special rights, preferences and privileges and
    that we could use, for example, to implement a rights plan or poison
    pill.

   These provisions can make it more difficult for common stockholders to
replace members of the board of directors and our current management team. We
are also subject to provisions of Delaware law that prohibit us from engaging
in any business combination with any "interested stockholder," meaning
generally a stockholder who beneficially owns more than 15% of our stock, for a
period of three years from the date this person became an interested
stockholder, unless various conditions are met, such as approval of the
transaction by our board of directors. These provisions could have the effect
of delaying or preventing a change in control. For a more complete discussion
of these provisions of Delaware law, please see "Description of Capital Stock--
Anti-Takeover Provisions--Delaware Law."

If they act together, our directors, officers and significant shareholders can
control matters requiring stockholder approval because they beneficially own a
large percentage of our common stock, and they may vote this common stock in a
way with which you do not agree.


   After this offering, our directors, officers and significant shareholders
will beneficially own a majority of the outstanding shares of our stock. As a
result, if these persons act together, they will have the ability to exercise
substantial control over our affairs and corporate actions requiring
stockholder approval, including the election of directors, a sale of
substantially all our assets, a merger with another entity or an amendment to
our certificate of incorporation. If they act together, these stockholders
could use their ownership position to delay, deter or prevent a change in
control. Also, their aggregate ownership could adversely affect the price that
investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

                   NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

   This prospectus contains statements, principally in the sections entitled
"Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," regarding our

statements by words such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans,"
"anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue" or
other similar terminology. These statements discuss our future expectations,
contain projections of our future results or financial position or provide
other "forward-looking" information that may involve risks and uncertainties.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

   We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of
approximately $63 million, at an assumed initial public offering price of
$13.00 per share, net of estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their
over-allotment option in full, we estimate our net proceeds will be
approximately $73 million.


   We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering as follows:

  .  approximately $36 million for research, development and
     commercialization of our proposed products,


  .  approximately $13 million for the further development of our new
     facility and other capital expenditures, and




  .  approximately $14 million for general corporate purposes, including
     working capital.


   As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of
the particular uses for the net proceeds we will have upon completion of the
offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the
application of the net proceeds.

   Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds in interest-
bearing, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit, or direct or
guaranteed obligations of the United States.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

   We have never declared or paid dividends on our capital stock and do not
anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We
currently intend to retain any future earnings for the expansion of our
business.

                                 CAPITALIZATION

   The following table sets forth the following information as of March 31,
2002:


  .  our actual capitalization,

  .  our pro forma capitalization after giving effect to the conversion of
     all outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock and the
     filing of amendments to our certificate of incorporation to authorize
     100,000,000 shares of common stock, eliminate all existing series of
     preferred stock and authorize 20,000,000 shares of undesignated
     preferred stock, and


  .  our pro forma as adjusted capitalization, reflecting the sale of
     5,400,000 shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial
     public offering price of $13.00 per share, after deducting the
     underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses
     payable by us.

                                   DILUTION

   The historical net tangible book value of our common stock as of March 31,
2002 was a deficit of $10.5 million, or ($0.60) per share, based on the number
of common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2002. Historical net tangible
book value per common share is equal to our total tangible assets less total
liabilities and redeemable convertible preferred stock , divided by the number
of shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2002.


   Our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2002 was $21.5
million, or $0.92 per share, assuming conversion of all outstanding shares of
convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock on the closing of
this offering. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the
amount of our total tangible assets, reduced by the amount of our total
liabilities, and then divided by the total number of shares of common stock
outstanding after giving effect to the conversion of all shares of outstanding
preferred stock upon closing of this offering. Dilution in pro forma net
tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount
paid per share by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and
the pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately
after the completion of this offering. After giving effect to the sale of the
5,400,000 shares of common stock offered by us at an assumed initial public
offering price of $13.00 per share, and after deducting the underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our
pro forma net tangible book value at March 31, 2002 would have been $84.8
million or $2.95 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate
increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $2.03 per share to existing
stockholders and an immediate dilution of $10.05 per share to new investors
purchasing shares at the initial public offering price. The following table
illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

   If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in
the offering, the pro forma net tangible book value per share after the
offering would be $3.20 per share, the increase in pro forma net tangible book
value per share to existing stockholders would be $2.28 per share and the
dilution to new investors purchasing shares in this offering would be $9.80
per share.


   The following table summarizes, as of March 31, 2002, the differences
between the existing stockholders and new investors with respect to the number
of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to
us and the average price paid per share:

   The preceding tables assume no exercise of stock options outstanding as of
March 31, 2002. As of March 31, 2002, 2,800,053 shares were subject to
outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $8.00 per share.
These tables also do not reflect our issuance in April 2002 of 164,826 shares
of common stock upon the cashless exercise of warrants outstanding as of
March 31, 2002. If all of these options and warrants had been exercised at
March 31, 2002, the total dilution per share to new investors would be $9.58.

                      SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

   You should read the selected consolidated financial data set forth on the
following page in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and
related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" included elsewhere in this prospectus. The
consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31,
1999, 2000 and 2001 and the consolidated balance sheet data at December 31,
2000 and 2001 are derived from financial statements included elsewhere in the
prospectus that have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent
accountants. The statement of operations data for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1998 and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999
have been derived from our audited financial statements which are not included
in this prospectus. The consolidated statement of operations data for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002 and the consolidated balance sheet data at
March 31, 2002 have been taken from our unaudited consolidated financial
statements that are included elsewhere in this prospectus and which include, in
our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such data.
Historical results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for
any future period. Pro forma information reflects the conversion of 641,642
shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock into 5,774,778 shares of
common stock upon the closing of this offering as if converted at the beginning
of the period.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with "Selected Consolidated
Financial Data" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes
appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

   We design, develop and manufacture innovative sustained-release drug
delivery products. Since our founding in 1991, we have been primarily engaged
in the research and development of products using our proprietary technologies.
To date, we have developed one commercial product, Vitrasert, for the treatment
of CMV retinitis, a blinding eye disease that affects late-stage AIDS patients,
that has been sold since 1996. We have three additional products in advanced
clinical trials. Our revenues are currently derived primarily from payments for
research and development, achievement of milestones and license fees under our
1999 collaborative licensing and development agreement with Bausch & Lomb, all
of which we record as collaborative research and development revenue, and
royalties, which we record as royalties revenue. We have also recognized
revenue from funding received under government research grants. We have
licensed patents from the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, or the
UKRF, and pay royalties to the UKRF for products which use technology covered
by these patents.


   In 1992, we entered into a licensing and development agreement with Chiron
Vision Corporation for the development and commercialization of Vitrasert.
Chiron Vision began selling Vitrasert in 1996 following FDA approval, and paid
us royalties on those sales. Bausch & Lomb acquired this agreement in
connection with its acquisition of Chiron Vision in 1997. Bausch & Lomb has
continued to market and sell Vitrasert and pay us royalties on those sales. We
derived 18% of our total revenues in 1999, 8% of our total revenues in 2000, 2%
of our total revenues in 2001 and 1% of our total revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 from sales of Vitrasert. Improvements in the treatment of
AIDS/HIV have significantly decreased the incidence of CMV retinitis in the
more developed nations that have the resources to provide advanced medical
care, and sales of Vitrasert have declined each year since 1997. As a result,
our royalty revenues from sales of Vitrasert have declined, and the royalties
we pay to the UKRF on those sales have declined proportionately. Due to
decreases in sales and the fee required to maintain government authorization in
the European Union, Bausch & Lomb recently voluntarily withdrew its
governmental authorization to market Vitrasert in the European Union.


   In June 1999, we entered into a licensing and development agreement with
Bausch & Lomb to develop and market products for the treatment of eye diseases
other than CMV retinitis. Under this agreement, Bausch & Lomb has committed to
fund budgeted research and development performed by them and by us with respect
to our proposed products for the treatment of three blinding eye diseases, and
to make license fee and milestone payments to us. Bausch & Lomb's total
commitment under this agreement, as amended effective December 31, 2001, is
approximately $206.4 million. Included in this commitment is a total of
approximately $137.0 million of collaborative research and development,
milestone and license fee payments Bausch & Lomb has agreed to make to us,
approximately $36.5 million of which we have received as of March 31, 2002.
Bausch & Lomb has an exclusive license to market and sell our products for the
treatment of eye diseases and has agreed to pay us royalties on sales of these
products. Through March 31, 2002, we have incurred approximately $20.8 million
of total expenses relating to our research and development effort for our
ophthalmic Aeon implants under this agreement. Of these expenses, approximately
$14.0 million were categorized in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as research and development expenses in our financial statements,
and the remaining expenses were categorized as general and administrative
expenses. The three products under this agreement are currently in Phase III,
Phase IIb/III and Phase II clinical trials. We are unable to predict the date
of


                                       21



completion of these or any other clinical trials that may be required, but we
estimate that, even under accelerated FDA approval procedures, they will take
from one to three years or more. For a discussion of many of the risks and
uncertainties associated with successfully completing clinical trials for our
proposed products and the costs of this effort, see "Risk Factors" including
"--If we experience difficulty raising needed capital in the future, the growth
of our company may be curtailed," "--If we do not successfully complete
clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval of our proposed
products, we will be unable to market them," and "--Fast track designation and
orphan drug designation may not actually lead to faster development, regulatory
review or approval."


   We derived 86% of our total revenues in 1999, 89% of our total revenues in
2000, 98% of our total revenues in 2001, 95% of our total revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 100% of our total revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 from our agreements with Bausch & Lomb. As of April
15, 2002, Bausch & Lomb owned approximately 23% of our outstanding common
stock.


   We have also received government research grants that fund the cost of
research and development relating to aspects of our proposed products. The
government reimburses us for expenditures made for research authorized under
these grants. Through March 31, 2002, we had recognized $2.1 million in
government research grant revenue.


   Reimbursement under government grants is available only for approved costs
which must be substantiated in accordance with government record-keeping
requirements and are subject to government review and audit. Reviews and audits
may result in refunds or penalties, such as restrictions or prohibitions on
eligibility for future grants. Government grant recipients are also required to
submit various reports and certifications. As a result of a recent internal
compliance review, we have determined that we had some deficiencies in grant
administration that do not affect the scientific integrity of the grants,
including expense reimbursements that do not satisfy government requirements
and overdue reports. We have disclosed these deficiencies to the government and
expect to make repayment to the government when the amounts are finalized and
to file overdue reports when they are completed. As a result, we have included
$563,000 at March 31, 2002 in accrued expenses with respect to the estimated
repayment and have restated government grant revenues and related items for the
year ended December 31, 2000 and the three months ended March 31, 2001. Please
see note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. We do
not believe the deficiencies in grant administration including the repayment
will have any material adverse effect on us or our financial position. We do
not intend to conduct further research under our existing government grants or
to seek future government grants.


Critical Accounting Policy


   The following is a description of our revenue recognition policy, which we
believe is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and
results and requires our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often
as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain. Our significant accounting policies are more fully
described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.



   In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," or
SAB 101, which clarifies the Securities and Exchange Commission's views
regarding recognition of revenue. We adopted SAB 101 retroactively to 1993.

   We recognize nonrefundable collaborative research and development payments
under our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb, and will recognize such payments
under any future licensing and development agreements, as revenue on a
percentage of completion accounting basis, in accordance


                                       22



with SAB 101. Application of this policy requires that we make the following
calculations at the end of each reporting period to determine our revenue from
these agreements during that period:


  . First, we determine the actual costs we have incurred through the end of
    the reporting period related to the agreement, and add to that amount the
    costs we expect to incur in the future to complete the agreement, to
    arrive at the total cost we expect to incur from inception to completion
    of the agreement.


  . We then divide the actual costs we have incurred through the end of the
    reporting period related to the agreement by the total costs we expect to
    incur from inception to completion to arrive at the percentage of the
    agreement we have completed at the end of the reporting period.


  . We multiply this percentage by the sum of total license fees received,
    milestones earned and research and development payments we have received
    and expect to receive under the agreement, and subtract revenue we have
    recognized under the agreement during previous reporting periods, to
    arrive at the amount of revenue related to the agreement we will
    recognize for the reporting period.


   We consider contingent payments, such as milestone payments, to be earned
only after we have satisfied all the contingencies related to the payment and
our collaboration partner is obligated to make the payment to us.








   We evaluate our collaborative agreement each quarter to determine the
appropriate revenue recognition for that period. The evaluation includes all of
the potential revenue components from the collaborative agreement. In addition,
we evaluate our estimates periodically in light of increases in costs or other
unforeseen events and circumstances. Changes to our estimates may materially
increase or decrease our revenue for current and future periods.


   Application of the percentage of completion accounting method requires us to
use a significant degree of judgment. It is difficult to estimate the time and
costs of completing research and development activities under our 1999
agreement with Bausch & Lomb in light of the uncertainties involved in the
clinical development of the products covered by the agreement. Decreasing the
estimated costs of completion could materially accelerate our recognition of
revenues, while increasing the estimated costs of completion could materially
delay our recognition of revenues.


   When the total amount we have been paid and are due under our 1999 agreement
with Bausch & Lomb exceeds the revenue we have recognized under this agreement,
we record the difference as deferred revenue. We recognize this deferred
revenue over the remaining performance period in a manner similar to that
described above.


   In contrast to our recognition of a portion of license fees we receive under
our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb over the remainder of the development
term, we recognize any corresponding royalty due to the UKRF as expense in full
at the time a contingency has been removed and Bausch & Lomb becomes obligated
to make the related license fee or royalty payment to us. Consequently, we will
generally recognize royalty expense for license fees in earlier periods than we
recognize the corresponding revenue.


   We recognize royalty revenue based on sales of licensed products in licensed
territories as reported by licensees, which is generally in the period the
sales occur.


   We recognize government research grants as revenue when we incur the related
expense.

Results of Operations

 Three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001


   Revenues. Total revenues increased $750,000, or 27%, to $3.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, from $2.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001.


   Collaborative research and development revenue increased $957,000, or 37%,
to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $2.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was due primarily to
increased research and development activities under our 1999 agreement with
Bausch & Lomb.


   Royalties revenue decreased $77,000, or 64%, to $43,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2002, from $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
The decrease was due to a decrease in Vitrasert royalties paid to us as the
result of lower Vitrasert sales.


   Government research grants revenue decreased $130,000, or 100%, to $0, for
the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $130,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, we did not
perform any research for which we expect to receive reimbursement under
government grants. We do not intend to conduct further research under
government grants.


   Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $1.7
million, or 86%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002,
from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was
due to increased clinical and pre-clinical trial activity and the hiring of
additional research and development personnel. We believe that our research and
development expenses will continue to increase as we conduct late-stage
clinical trials and continue to hire additional personnel. We expect that
research and development expenses will increase substantially in the future as
we expand our development efforts on non-ophthalmic products, which we plan to
fund from either our own resources or through strategic partnerships.


   Royalties. Royalties expense decreased $39,000, or 65%, to $21,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, from $60,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001. The decrease was attributable to decreased royalty payments to
the UKRF as the result of lower Vitrasert sales.


   General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
$766,000, or 62%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002,
from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was
due primarily to the hiring of administrative staff to manage and support the
growth of our business. We believe that general and administrative expenses
will increase in the future as we hire additional personnel and incur increased
costs of outside professional services as a public company.


   Interest Income. Interest income decreased $239,000 to $200,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, from $439,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001. The decrease was due to decreased interest earned from our
lower average outstanding balances of cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments.


 Years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000


   Revenues. Total revenues increased $8.2 million, or 167%, to $13.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $4.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000.


                                       24



   Collaborative research and development revenue increased $8.6 million, or
213%, to $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $4.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was due primarily to
increased research and development activities, as well as milestone payments
under our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb.


   Royalties revenue decreased $115,000, or 30%, to $265,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2001, from $380,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The
decrease was due to a decrease in Vitrasert royalties paid to us as the result
of lower Vitrasert sales.


   Government research grants revenue decreased $237,000, or 45%, to $287,000,
for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $524,000 for the year ended December
31, 2000. This decrease was caused by a decrease in our research and
development activities associated with and funded by these grants.


   Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $4.9
million, or 69%, to $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from
$7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The $7.0 million of research
and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 included $3.4
million of non-cash charges for stock-based compensation. The increase was due
to increased clinical and pre-clinical trial activity and the hiring of
additional research and development personnel.


   Royalties. Royalties expense decreased $225,000, or 63%, to $131,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2001, from $356,000 for the year ended December 31,
2000. The decrease was attributable to decreased royalty payments to the UKRF
as the result of lower Vitrasert sales.


   General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
$7.7 million, or 396%, to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001,
from $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was due
primarily to the hiring of administrative staff to manage and support the
growth of our business, increased professional fees and marketing expenses, and
non-cash charges for stock-based compensation.


   Interest Income. Interest income, net of interest expense, increased
$542,000 to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $804,000
for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was due to increased
interest earned from our higher average outstanding balances of cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments following our sale of Series A
redeemable convertible preferred stock in August 2000.


 Years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999

   Revenues. Total revenues increased $2.1 million, or 77%, to $4.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 2000, from $2.8 million for the year ended December
31, 1999.


   Collaborative research and development revenue increased $2.1 million, or
113%, to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $1.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was due to both increased
research and development activities and additional license fee and milestone
payments under our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb.


   Royalties revenue decreased $116,000, or 23%, to $380,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000, from $496,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. This
decrease was due to a decrease in Vitrasert royalties paid to us as the result
of lower Vitrasert sales.


                                       25



   Government research grants revenue increased $124,000, or 31%, to $524,000
for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $400,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999. This increase was caused by an increase in our research and
development activities associated with and funded by these grants.


   Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $5.5
million, or 354%, to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from
$1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was due to our
conducting an increased number of pre-clinical and clinical trials, hiring of
additional research and development personnel and a $3.4 million non-cash,
stock-based compensation charge related to common stock grants to consultants
for services previously rendered.


   Royalties. Royalties expense decreased $140,000, or 28%, to $356,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2000, from $496,000 for the year ended December 31,
1999. The decrease was attributable to decreased royalty payments to the UKRF
as the result of lower Vitrasert sales.


   General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
$1.1 million, or 124%, to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000,
from $872,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was due to our
hiring of additional administrative staff to manage and support the growth of
our business, increased costs of outside professional services associated with
our intellectual property and increased charges for non-cash, stock-based
compensation.


   Interest Income. Interest income, net of interest expense, increased
$766,000 to $804,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $38,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was due to increased interest earned
from our higher average outstanding balances of cash and cash equivalents
following our sale of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock in August
2000. The increase was partially offset by interest expense on a note payable
related to a repurchase of our common stock.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

   For the period from January 1, 1999 through March 31, 2002, we financed our
operations through sales of common and preferred stock, which totaled $32.3
million, payments received under our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb, which
totaled $36.5 million, royalties received, which totaled $1.2 million, and
funding under government research grants, which totaled $1.9 million.


   Cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999, cash used in operating activities was $275,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2000, cash provided by operating activities was $6.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2001, and cash used in operating activities was
$1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in cash
provided by operating activities from the year ended December 31, 1999 to the
year ended December 31, 2000 was primarily due to an increase in accounts
receivable due to the achievement of a milestone under our 1999 agreement with
Bausch & Lomb which was not paid until 2001 and an increase in other assets
caused by our deferral of the costs of this offering until its completion. The
increase in cash provided by operating activities from the year ended December
31, 2000 to the year ended December 31, 2001 was due primarily to the receipt
of collaborative research and development payments and milestone payments under
our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb. The decrease in cash provided by
operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was primarily
due to our net loss combined with an increase in accounts receivable for future
milestone payments under our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb, partially
offset by an increase in deferred revenue due to payments received under our
1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb in advance of our recognition of the related
revenue.


                                       26



   Cash used in investing activities was $252,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999, $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, $12.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2001 and $604,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2002. The increase in cash used in investing activities from the year ended
December 31, 1999 to the year ended December 31, 2000 was primarily due to the
purchase of $10.9 million in short-term investments. The increase in cash used
in investing activities from the year ended December 31, 2000 to the year ended
December 31, 2001 was primarily due to capital expenditures of $6.9 million,
including the purchase of a manufacturing facility, and the net effects of our
short-term investing activities which resulted in the net purchase of $5.3
million of short-term investments during 2001. The cash used in investing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was primarily due to
increased capital expenditures of $1.2 million, partially offset by the net
effects of our short-term investing activities, which resulted in the net sale
of $594,000 of short-term investments during the three months ended March 31,
2002.


   Cash provided by financing activities was $34,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999, $30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, $178,000
for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $208,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002. The increase of approximately $30.0 million in cash provided by
financing activities from the year ended December 31, 1999 to the year ended
December 31, 2000 was primarily due to the issuance of Series A redeemable
convertible preferred stock in August 2000, partially offset by the repayment
of a note payable. The decrease of approximately $29.8 million in cash provided
by financing activities from the year ended December 31, 2000 to the year ended
December 31, 2001 was due to our issuance of Series A redeemable convertible
preferred stock in 2000. The cash provided by financing activities for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 was due to proceeds from the exercise of
stock options.


   We had a working capital deficit of $522,000 at December 31, 1999 and
working capital of $23.7 million at December 31, 2000, $15.4 million at
December 31, 2001 and $12.7 million at March 31, 2002. The increase in working
capital from December 31, 1999 to December 31, 2000 was primarily due to the
sale of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock in August 2000,
partially offset by the repayment of a note payable. The decrease in working
capital from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001 was primarily due to an
increase in deferred revenue under our 1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb and
capital expenditures. The decrease in working capital for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 was primarily due to the use of cash to fund our
operations and for capital expenditures.


   We had cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million at December 31, 1999, $18.8
million at December 31, 2000, $13.4 million at December 31, 2001 and $11.2
million at March 31, 2002. The increase of approximately $17.7 million in cash
and cash equivalents from December 31, 1999 to December 31, 2000 was primarily
due to the sale in August 2000 of our Series A redeemable convertible preferred
stock for gross proceeds of approximately $34.5 million which was partially
offset by our repurchase of 2,514,015 shares of our common stock for
approximately $3.5 million and our purchase of $10.9 million of short-term
investments in 2000. The decrease of approximately $5.4 million in cash and
cash equivalents from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001 was primarily due
to capital expenditures of $6.9 million, including the purchase of a
manufacturing facility, and net purchases of short-term investments of $5.3
million, partially offset by $7.0 million of cash provided by operating
activities. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2001 to
March 31, 2002 was primarily due to cash used in operating activities of
approximately $1.8 million and capital expenditures of $1.2 million, partially
offset by net sales of short-term investments of $594,000 and proceeds from the
exercise of stock options of $208,000.


                                       27





   Our non-cancelable contractual obligations at March 31, 2002 consisted of
obligations under operating leases. We are obligated to pay $437,000 during the
remainder of 2002 and $565,000 during 2003 under these leases.




   Our liquidity is largely dependent upon the funding we receive under our
1999 agreement with Bausch & Lomb. We anticipate that we will increase our use
of cash in the future as we continue to research, develop and manufacture our
proposed products and expand the facility we purchased in 2001. We believe that
our existing cash and investment securities and anticipated cash flow from our
collaboration with Bausch & Lomb, together with the net proceeds of this
offering, will be sufficient to support our current operating plan for at least
the next two years. Our future capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including:


  . the number, rate, progress and results of our research programs and pre-
    clinical and clinical trials including the availability of accelerated
    approval procedures,






  . our ability to establish, maintain and obtain funding and earn milestones
    under strategic alliances, including our collaboration with Bausch &
    Lomb,


  . our success and the success of Bausch & Lomb and future marketing
    partners in commercializing our products, and


  . costs incurred in obtaining, enforcing and defending patent and other
    intellectual property rights.


   We may also require additional funds if the research, development and
marketing of our products and the development of internal manufacturing,
marketing and sales capabilities take longer or cost more than we expect, if
any necessary increases or extensions of funding under our 1999 agreement with
Bausch & Lomb are not approved or if that agreement is terminated. If we
require additional capital, it may not be available on favorable terms, if at
all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be
required to significantly reduce or refocus our operations or to obtain funds
through arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to our products,
technologies or potential markets, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the
sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders could be
diluted.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


   In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB,
approved Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". The statements eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting
for business combinations and require that goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite lives not be amortized. Instead, these assets will be reviewed for
impairment annually with any related losses recognized when incurred. SFAS No.
141 is generally effective for business combinations initiated after June 2001.
We adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002 with no impact on our
financial position or results of operations.


   In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2002. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and
the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires, among other
things, that the retirement obligations be recognized when they are incurred
and displayed as liabilities on the balance sheet. In addition, the asset's
retirement costs are to be capitalized as part of the asset's carrying amount
and subsequently allocated to expense over the asset's useful life. We believe
that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will not have a significant impact on our
financial position or results of operations.



                                       28



   In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal
years. This statement develops one accounting model for long-lived assets that
are to be disposed of by sale, as well as addresses the principal
implementation issues. We adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 with no
impact on our financial position or results of operations.


Disclosure About Market Risk



   Our exposure to market risk is principally confined to the portion of our
cash and cash equivalents that are invested in a variety of U.S. dollar-
denominated financial instruments, principally securities issued by the U.S.
government and its agencies, investment grade corporate bonds and commercial
paper. These instruments are subject to interest rate risk and could decline in
value if interest rates increase. Our investment portfolio includes only
marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to facilitate
portfolio liquidity, and we have implemented guidelines limiting the duration
of these investments. Due to the nature of these instruments, we do not believe
that we have a material exposure to interest rate risk.

                                    BUSINESS

Overview

   We design, develop and manufacture innovative, sustained-release drug
delivery products. Our products are designed to treat severe and chronic
diseases that have limited or no effective treatment options and represent
significant market opportunities. We design our products to deliver an
appropriate quantity of approved drugs directly to a target site at a
controlled rate for a predetermined period of time ranging from days to years.
We have developed proprietary technologies that serve as platforms for our
products. We believe these technologies will allow us to extend the therapeutic
value of a wide variety of drugs while virtually eliminating the variations in
drug concentration at the target site and adverse side effects characteristic
of most traditional drug treatments.


   We have obtained Food and Drug Administration approval for and
commercialized one product based on our proprietary Aeon technology. Vitrasert,
our Aeon product for the treatment of CMV retinitis, a blinding eye disease
afflicting late-stage AIDS patients, has been sold since 1996 and is currently
one of the most effective approved treatments for this disease. Since 1996, we
have focused our efforts primarily on research and development of additional
products based on our Aeon technology. We currently have Aeon products in
clinical trials for the treatment of diabetic macular edema, posterior uveitis
and wet age-related macular degeneration, three leading causes of blindness
that we estimate affect over 1.4 million eyes in the United States. The FDA has
granted fast track status to the approval process for two of these products.
Our pipeline also includes products for the treatment of brain tumors, dry age-
related macular degeneration, post-surgical pain and severe osteoarthritis. Our
products are currently at the following stages of development:

Industry Background

   Severe and chronic diseases, such as blinding eye diseases, cancer, severe
osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, afflict millions of
people each year and are becoming more prevalent as the population ages.
Despite continuing advances in medical and pharmaceutical technologies, current
treatment options for many of these diseases are inadequate. Drug treatments
for these diseases, where they exist, often offer only temporary or limited
therapeutic benefits and cause adverse side effects.


   The therapeutic value of a drug depends on its distribution throughout the
body, reaction with the targeted site, reaction with other tissues and organs
in the body, and elimination from the body. In an ideal treatment, the
appropriate amount of drug is delivered to the intended site in the body and
maintained there for an adequate period of time without adversely affecting
other tissues and organs. Accordingly, the manner in which a drug is delivered
can be as important to the ultimate therapeutic value of the treatment as the
intrinsic properties of the drug itself.

   Drugs are typically administered systemically by oral dosing or by injection
and then disperse throughout the body. In many cases, this administration
method does not deliver drugs to the intended site at an adequate concentration
for a sufficient period of time, fails to achieve the maximum potential
therapeutic benefit and results in adverse side effects.

                                       30


   Because systemically delivered drugs disperse throughout the body, they
often must be administered at high dosage levels in order to achieve sufficient
concentrations at the intended site. Some areas of the body, such as the eyes,
joints, brain and nervous system, have natural barriers that impede the
movement of drugs to those areas, requiring the administration of even higher
systemic doses. These high dosage levels can cause harmful side effects, called
systemic side effects, when the drug interacts with other tissues and organs.

   Most systemic delivery methods also result in variability in drug
concentration over the course of each dose. The high drug concentration
immediately after dosing can cause toxicity and harmful side effects. As time
elapses after dosing, the drug concentration can rapidly diminish to levels too
low to provide any therapeutic benefit. In many cases, the optimal
concentration of drug is present at the target site for only a small period of
time.

   Timely and repeated administration of drugs by the patient is often
necessary to maintain therapeutic drug levels over an extended period of time.
However, patients often fail to take drugs as prescribed and, as a result, do
not receive the potential therapeutic benefit. The risk of patient
noncompliance increases if multiple drugs are required, the dosing regimen is
complicated or the patient is elderly or cognitively impaired.

   Due to the drawbacks of traditional drug delivery, the development of novel
methods to deliver drugs to patients in a more precise, controlled fashion over
sustained periods of time has become a multibillion dollar industry. Recently
developed drug delivery methods include oral and injectable controlled-release
products and skin patches. These methods seek to improve the consistency of the
dosage over time and extend the duration of delivery. However, most of these
methods cannot provide constant, controlled dosage or deliver drugs for a
sufficiently long duration. This reduces their effectiveness for diseases that
are chronic or require precise dosing. In addition, most of these methods still
deliver drugs systemically and, as a result, can still cause adverse systemic
side effects.


The CDS Advantage

   We design our innovative sustained-release drug delivery products to provide
extended, controlled, localized delivery of approved drugs for the treatment of
severe and chronic diseases. Key advantages of our proprietary technologies
include:


  . Localized Delivery. We design our products to be implanted directly at a
    target site. By using the natural barriers of the body to isolate and
    maintain appropriate concentrations of drug at the target site, we
    believe our products will maximize the therapeutic effect of a drug,
    while minimizing unwanted systemic side effects.

  . Controlled Release Rate. We design our products to release drugs at a
    constant or other controlled rate. We believe this will allow our
    products to maintain the optimal drug concentration at a target site and
    eliminate variability in dosing over time. By controlling the quantity of
    drug delivered over the duration of treatment, we believe our products
    will significantly improve the therapeutic benefits of treatment.


  . Extended Delivery. We design our products to deliver drugs to target
    sites for predetermined periods of time ranging from days to years. We
    believe this uninterrupted, sustained delivery will reduce the need for
    repeat applications, eliminate the risk of patient noncompliance and
    provide more effective treatments.

  . Reduced Development Risk. Vitrasert demonstrated the commercial viability
    of our Aeon technology. Our products in clinical trials are based on this
    same technology and deliver drugs already approved by the FDA for the
    treatment of other diseases. As a result, we believe we may be able to
    develop these and future products in less time, at a lower cost and with
    less risk than is typically associated with drug discovery and
    development.


                                       31


  . Cost-effective Therapy. We believe that by delivering the appropriate
    amount of drug for an extended period of time, our products will reduce
    the need for costly repeat treatments, hospitalizations and chronic care.
    In addition, we believe that by virtually eliminating adverse systemic
    side effects, our products will further reduce the cost of treating the
    diseases we target.

Our Strategy

   Our proprietary technologies employ novel therapeutic approaches designed to
treat severe and chronic diseases that have limited or no effective treatment
options. Our objective is to revolutionize the treatment of the severe and
chronic diseases that we target and to develop products that become the
standard of care for these diseases. In order to achieve this objective, we
intend to:


  . Focus on Severe and Chronic Diseases that Represent Significant Market
    Opportunities. We focus our product development on severe and chronic
    diseases that we believe would be treatable with drugs already approved
    by the FDA for the treatment of other diseases if those drugs could be
    delivered safely and effectively to the disease site. These diseases
    represent significant market opportunities because they have limited or
    no currently effective treatments and affect large numbers of people. We
    are currently developing products to treat blinding eye diseases, brain
    tumors and post-surgical pain. In the future, we plan to target such
    diseases as severe osteoarthritis, prostate cancer, Alzheimer's disease
    and multiple sclerosis.


  . Rapidly Commercialize Our Products for Blinding Eye Diseases. We plan to
    pursue aggressively the development of our products for blinding eye
    diseases. We believe that the FDA approval and the commercial acceptance
    of Vitrasert, our product for the treatment of CMV retinitis, validated
    our Aeon technology for the treatment of eye disease. We are using the
    same technology to develop products for the treatment of three leading
    causes of blindness. The FDA has granted fast track status to the
    approval process for our products for the treatment of diabetic macular
    edema and posterior uveitis, which are now in Phase III and Phase IIb/III
    clinical trials, respectively. The third product, for the treatment of
    wet age-related macular degeneration, entered Phase II trials in 2001. We
    have selected Bausch & Lomb to help commercialize and market our products
    for the treatment of blinding eye diseases. Bausch & Lomb is publicizing
    our Aeon technology under the Envision TD brand name.


  . Extend Our Technologies into Additional Therapeutic Areas. We believe
    that we can easily adapt our existing technologies to treat additional
    diseases by modifying the design of the product or varying the drug
    delivered. For example, we have modified Vitrasert, our approved product
    for the treatment of CMV retinitis, to develop products designed to treat
    posterior uveitis and diabetic macular edema. These products are now in
    Phase IIb/III and Phase III clinical trials. By using drugs already
    approved by the FDA for the treatment of other diseases in our adaptable
    technologies, we believe we will be able to develop products more rapidly
    and with lower risk than conventional drug discovery and development.

  . Develop Multiple Distribution Channels. In order to distribute our
    products effectively, we expect to either enter into joint marketing or
    license arrangements with established, industry-leading marketing
    partners or independently commercialize our products using a targeted
    sales force. Our commercialization strategy for each product will depend
    upon many factors, including the market size, the expected cost and
    duration of the regulatory approval process and the projected costs and
    complexity of marketing the product. We expect to retain our rights to
    the underlying technology in any licensing arrangements.

  . Expand Internal Capabilities. To date, we have primarily been a research
    and development company. We intend to broaden our strengths to gain
    increased control over product development and greater flexibility in our
    commercialization strategy by developing our commercial manufacturing
    capacity and adding sales and marketing capabilities.


                                       32



Our Technologies


   Our two proprietary technologies are the Aeon system and the Codrug system.
Our one commercial product and all of our products currently in clinical trials
are based on our Aeon technology. Applications of our Codrug technology are in
pre-clinical trials.


 Aeon Technology


   The Aeon system is a drug reservoir or pellet surrounded by a series of
layers of polymer coatings. Several of these layers are permeable, allowing the
drug to pass through them into the target site at a controlled rate for a
predetermined period of time ranging from days to years. We believe our Aeon
technology can be used to deliver almost any drug that is stable at body
temperature for the expected duration of delivery. By changing the implant
design, we can control both the rate and duration of release to meet different
therapeutic needs. We are currently using our Aeon technology to develop or
research products for the treatment of three blinding eye diseases, diabetic
macular edema, posterior uveitis and wet age-related macular degeneration, as
well as severe osteoarthritis and brain tumors. We are currently testing
different dosages of the same drug for the treatment of the three eye diseases.
Depending on the results of clinical trials, the same implant may be approved
for the treatment of all three diseases.


  Blinding Eye Diseases

   Our first commercial product, Vitrasert, demonstrated the feasibility and
effectiveness of our Aeon technology by providing sustained, localized
treatment of CMV retinitis. We are now extending our Aeon technology to treat
diabetic macular edema, posterior uveitis and wet age-related macular
degeneration, three leading causes of blindness.


   CMV Retinitis. Cytomegalovirus, or CMV, retinitis, a blinding eye disease,
is a viral infection of the eye that frequently occurs in individuals with
AIDS. Although common in the early 1990s, improvements in the treatment of
AIDS/HIV have significantly decreased the incidence of CMV retinitis in more
developed countries. Our Vitrasert implant for CMV retinitis has been sold
since 1996 and provides sustained treatment of the disease for six to eight
months. Our implant gained greater than a 20% market share in its first year of
commercialization and has been used in over 10,000 eyes since 1996. Studies
show that Vitrasert is one of the most effective approved treatments for CMV
retinitis.

   Diabetic Macular Edema. Diabetic retinopathy is a disease that causes the
blood vessels in the eyes of diabetics to progressively deteriorate and leak
fluid, causing the retina to swell. This swelling is called edema. Diabetic
macular edema, a form of diabetic retinopathy, is a blinding eye disease that
occurs when diabetic retinopathy affects the macula, the most sensitive part of
the retina. Diabetic macular edema is a major cause of vision loss in
diabetics. We estimate that over 750,000 eyes in the United States and over 1.5
million eyes outside the United States suffer from diabetic macular edema of
sufficient severity to warrant treatment. We are not aware of any approved drug
treatment for this disease. The only current treatments are laser therapy which
burns the retina, either in specific sites or in a grid, and vitrectomy, a
major eye surgery which involves the removal of the vitreous gel from the
cavity of the eye and the surgical dissection of the scar tissue membranes off
the surface of the retina. Both treatments at best only temporarily reverse
vision loss and slow the progression of the disease.






   We are developing an Aeon implant designed to treat diabetic macular edema
for up to three years. In August 2001, we reported our preliminary analysis of
data from an investigator-sponsored Phase I/II clinical trial involving
patients who had not received long-term benefits from laser treatment. In this
trial, eight eyes of eight patients were treated with implants containing


                                       33



fluocinolone acetonide, an off-patent steroid. Five patients received a
6 milligram implant, one patient received a 2 milligram implant and two
patients received a 0.5 milligram implant. All subjects with the 6 milligram
and 2 milligram implants were followed for at least 12 months, and the patients
with the 0.5 milligram implants were followed for at least six months. All
treated eyes showed a resolution of swelling and an increase in visual acuity.
The mean visual acuity of the eight patients, including some who had been
functionally blind prior to treatment, improved from 20/240 to 20/160 within
three months.




   The FDA has granted fast track designation for our Aeon implant designed to
treat diabetic macular edema. We are currently conducting Phase III clinical
trials for this product with a 0.5 milligram implant, and expect to seek
approval by filing a new drug application in 2003 under the FDA's accelerated
approval process. If we take advantage of the accelerated approval process, we
plan to file additional data following product approval to support supplemental
approval of the product as safe and effective for longer periods of up to three
years. For a detailed discussion of the accelerated approval process and its
ramifications, please see "--Government Regulation" and "Risk Factors--Fast
track designation and orphan drug designation may not actually lead to a faster
development, regulatory review or approval process."


   Uveitis. Uveitis is an autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation of
the inside of the eye that can cause sudden or gradual vision loss. We estimate
that over 175,000 eyes in the United States suffer from uveitis. Treatments
include steroidal eye drops, ocular injections of steroids, oral systemic
steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and chemotherapy.
These treatments, if successful, generally only slow the progression of
uveitis. In addition, systemic treatment and chemotherapy often cause severe
side effects.


   We are developing an Aeon implant designed to treat uveitis affecting the
back of the eye, or posterior uveitis, for up to three years. In August 2001,
we reported our preliminary analysis of data from an investigator-sponsored
Phase I/II clinical trial involving patients with posterior uveitis and
significant vision loss after systemic or local therapy with steroids or other
immunosuppressants. In this trial, 19 eyes of 15 patients were treated with
implants containing fluocinolone acetonide. Four patients received a 2
milligram implant in both eyes, eight received one 2 milligram implant and
three received one 0.5 milligram implant. As of August 2001, the 11 eyes that
had been monitored for six months showed an improvement in mean visual acuity
from 20/496 to 20/290, and the seven eyes that had been monitored for 12 months
showed an improvement in mean visual acuity from 20/501 to 20/181. Posterior
uveitis was effectively controlled in all treated eyes.




   The FDA has granted fast track and orphan drug designations for our Aeon
implant designed to treat posterior uveitis. Bausch & Lomb is currently
conducting Phase IIb/III clinical trials with 0.5 milligram and 2 milligram
versions of this implant in patients with poorly controlled posterior uveitus.
We expect that Bausch & Lomb will file a new drug application for our uveitis
implant in 2003 using expedited procedures under the FDA's discretion within
the orphan drug or fast track program. For a detailed discussion of fast track
and orphan drug designations and their ramifications, please see "Government
Regulation" and "Risk Factors--Fast track designation and orphan drug
designation may not actually lead to faster development, regulatory review or
approval."



   Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Age-related macular degeneration, or ARMD,
is the leading cause of severe visual impairment and blindness in Americans
over 60 and affects more than five million people in the United States. ARMD
has two forms, dry and wet. With dry ARMD, the cells in the central retina die
slowly resulting in gradual central vision loss. Wet ARMD occurs when blood
vessels grow abnormally beneath the most sensitive part of the retina, the
macula. The abnormal blood vessels leak, bleed and form scar tissue under the
macula, resulting in sudden and severe loss of central vision. Approximately
10% to 15% of ARMD patients have wet ARMD, but it

                                       34



is responsible for 85% to 90% of all vision loss resulting from ARMD. There are
currently no approved treatments for dry ARMD. Forms of therapy for wet ARMD
include laser treatment and photodynamic therapy, a treatment that employs a
laser to activate a drug administered intravenously. Only 10% to 15% of
patients with wet ARMD can be treated with laser therapy, which generally
causes an immediate and substantial loss of vision, followed by a stabilization
in vision at the reduced level. Approximately 30% of patients with wet ARMD can
be treated with photodynamic therapy. The most favorable expected outcome of
photodynamic therapy is vision stabilization. However, photodynamic therapy
achieves this result in only approximately 15% of patients treated and must be
performed three to four times per year.


   We are developing an Aeon implant designed to treat wet ARMD for up to three
years. In an investigator-sponsored Phase I/II clinical trial, 22 eyes of 21
patients received either a 6 milligram implant, 2 milligram implant or 0.5
milligram implant of fluocinolone acetonide. The patients in this study
suffered from various forms of abnormal new blood vessel growth beneath the
macula due to a variety of conditions, including three with ARMD. In 2001,
based in part on preliminary data from this study, we started two multi-center
Phase II clinical trials of a 0.5 milligram Aeon implant in patients suffering
from wet ARMD.











  Non-Ophthalmic Diseases

   We believe our Aeon technology can be adapted for other parts of the body
which, like the eye, are difficult to treat.





     Brain Tumors. Each year, over 20,000 people in the United States develop
primary brain tumors. Patients with brain tumors are generally treated with
surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Surgery usually cannot completely
remove tumor cells in the brain. Radiation and chemotherapy generally cause
significant systemic side effects and cannot be safely given at levels
sufficient to eradicate all malignant brain cells. As a result, in most cases,
these treatments cannot prevent brain tumors from recurring.

   We are developing an Aeon implant, called Ceredur, that is designed to
increase the life expectancy of patients with primary brain tumors. Similar to
our other Aeon implants, our Ceredur implant releases a drug at a controlled
rate for a predetermined period of time. However, unlike our other implants,
Ceredur is refillable from outside the body and can deliver drugs such as
proteins and peptides. During therapy, the physician can change the release
rate by changing the concentration of drug used. Since Ceredur is refillable,
it can potentially deliver drugs indefinitely. A third-party investigator has
completed a Phase I/II trial studying patients with recurrent glioblastoma, a
serious form of brain cancer with an average life expectancy for patients of
eight weeks when left untreated.


  Future Disease Targets

   We are currently evaluating the feasibility of using Aeon products to treat
various forms of cancer, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis.

 Codrug Technology


   Our proprietary Codrug technology allows the simultaneous release of
multiple drugs from the same product at the same, controlled rate over a
predetermined period of time. Using this technology, we chemically link two or
more drugs together creating a new compound. This compound can then be
delivered to the target site by virtually any delivery method. Once delivered,
the compound dissolves at a predetermined rate and separates into the original
drugs as the


                                       35



chemical bond breaks apart. We believe that most drugs can be chemically linked
with our Codrug technology, and we have synthesized a Codrug library of
approximately 400 drug combinations. We are currently evaluating Codrug
products for the treatment of post-surgical pain and osteoarthritis through the
sustained release of anti-inflammatory and pain-killing drugs directly at the
affected site.




  Severe Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a disease that attacks cartilage.
Surfaces of joint cartilage and underlying bone compress and become irregular,
leading to pain, inflammation, bone spurs and limited movement. Osteoarthritis
is one of the most common disabilities in the United States, affecting
approximately 30 million Americans. As osteoarthritis progresses, serious joint
damage and chronic pain can result. The goal of treatment is to reduce joint
pain and inflammation while improving and maintaining joint function. Current
treatments for osteoarthritis are weight reduction, physical therapy and oral
anti-inflammatory and anti-pain medications. However, there is no evidence that
drug treatment changes the course of the disease. The effectiveness of these
treatments decreases as the disease progresses. In cases of severe
osteoarthritis, joint replacement surgery is common, but is sometimes
forestalled with injections of steroids into the affected joint. Nevertheless,
in recent years, there have been in excess of 500,000 knee or hip replacement
surgeries in the United States annually, which we believe were mainly due to
osteoarthritis. We are conducting preliminary research of the application of
our Codrug technology to treat severe osteoarthritis.



Strategic Collaborations

   We have entered into two collaboration agreements to develop and
commercialize our initial products. In both of these agreements, we retained
our rights to the underlying technologies.


 Chiron Vision Corporation

   Our first collaboration was with Chiron Vision Corporation, a subsidiary of
Chiron Corporation. Under a 1992 licensing and development agreement, Chiron
Vision financed the development of Vitrasert, and we granted Chiron Vision a
worldwide, exclusive license to make and sell products based on the Aeon
technology used in Vitrasert for the treatment of conditions of the eye. Chiron
Vision commenced commercial sales of Vitrasert following FDA approval in 1996.
Bausch & Lomb acquired Chiron Vision in 1997, assumed this agreement and
currently markets and sells Vitrasert. Bausch & Lomb pays us royalties on net
sales of Vitrasert under this agreement. Bausch & Lomb may terminate this
agreement at any time on 180 days' written notice.


 Bausch & Lomb Incorporated

   In 1999, we expanded our relationship with Bausch & Lomb by entering into a
licensing and development agreement for additional products for the treatment
of eye diseases. We granted Bausch & Lomb a worldwide, exclusive license for
the life of the relevant patents to use our technologies for the treatment,
prevention or diagnosis of any disease, disorder or condition of the eye in
humans or in animals.

   Under our licensing and development agreement, Bausch & Lomb has agreed to
fund the development of our products in clinical trials for the treatment of
diabetic macular edema, posterior uveitis and wet age-related macular
degeneration. Bausch & Lomb has committed to fund budgeted research and
development performed by them and by us, and to make license fee and milestone
payments to us. The total commitment under this agreement is approximately $206
million through 2008. Included in this commitment is a total of approximately
$137 million of collaborative research and development, milestone and license
fee payments Bausch & Lomb has agreed to make to us, approximately $37 million
of which we have received as of March 31, 2002. Under the agreement, we
manufacture products for clinical trials and may serve as a primary or
secondary manufacturing source for commercial products.




   The licensing and development agreement contains a budget that governs the
amounts to be spent by Bausch & Lomb and us and reimbursed to us by Bausch &
Lomb. The agreement requires


                                       36



that we and Bausch & Lomb review and update the budget annually in accordance
with the process set out in the agreement. A joint steering committee,
comprised of two representatives from Bausch & Lomb and two of our
representatives, is responsible for managing and overseeing the development
process under the licensing and development agreement. The agreement contains a
research and development plan and contemplates that the steering committee will
approve market projection plans that will set forth sales minimums to be met by
Bausch & Lomb. These sales minimums apply to the first product that receives
regulatory approval for uveitis and for the earlier of the first product that
receives regulatory approval for wet age-related macular degeneration or the
first product that receives regulatory approval for diabetic macular edema. The
agreement requires the steering committee to meet periodically to monitor
projects under the research and development plan, to revise the research and
development plan annually, if needed, and to update the market projection plans
annually once they have been approved. In addition, the steering committee is
required to update the market projection plan for a product no more than 60
days prior to the first sale of that product. Any changes to the research and
development plans or the marketing projection plans require the consent of the
steering committee or of the parties. The agreement provides for a dispute
resolution process to resolve any disputes of the steering committee or other
disputes arising out of the agreement. Since the inception of the agreement, we
have twice increased the budget.




   Bausch & Lomb has agreed to pay us royalties on net sales of licensed
products. If Bausch & Lomb fails to achieve sales minimums set forth in the
applicable updated market projection plans for two specified products, Bausch &
Lomb must pay us the royalties due under those sales minimums or the license
becomes non-exclusive for the applicable product in the applicable market.
Bausch & Lomb may terminate the agreement at any time on 90 days' written
notice, subject to wind-down provisions, including payment of all milestone and
budgeted research and development payments due and payable to us within that
90-day period and some budgeted research and development payments due and
payable within the following 90-day period.


   Bausch & Lomb has begun publicizing our Aeon technology under the Envision
TD brand name and has publicly identified our proposed ophthalmic products as
its highest development priority. As of April 15, 2002, Bausch & Lomb owned
approximately 23% of our outstanding common stock. We derived 86% of our total
revenue in 1999, 89% of our total revenue in 2000 and 98% of our total revenue
in 2001 from our agreements with Bausch & Lomb.


Sales and Marketing

   Bausch & Lomb currently markets and sells Vitrasert and has the right to
market and sell the other ophthalmic products we are developing and may
develop. In the future, we may independently commercialize some of our proposed
non-ophthalmic products using a targeted sales force that we plan to develop.
In appropriate cases, we may enter into joint marketing or license arrangements
for non-ophthalmic products with established, industry-leading marketing
partners. Because our products in clinical trials use a proven technology to
deliver drugs that have already been approved for the treatment of other
diseases by the FDA, we believe the development cycle for these products will
be shorter than traditional drug discovery and development. We believe this
will allow us to enter into marketing alliances at a later stage of clinical
development, when the product development risk is diminished, and retain
greater economic participation. When determining our commercialization strategy
for a product, we will consider the market size, the expected cost and duration
of the regulatory approval process, the projected costs and complexity of
marketing the product, competition and other factors. We expect to retain our
rights to the underlying technology in any licensing arrangements.


                                       37


Reimbursement

   Our ability to successfully commercialize our products will depend in
significant part on the extent to which reimbursement of the cost of the
products and the related implantation procedure will be available from
government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other
organizations. The cost of Vitrasert and the associated surgical fee are
covered by Medicaid and Medicare, most major health maintenance organizations
and most health insurance carriers. We believe that the Medicare reimbursement
code for the Vitrasert implantation procedure will cover the implantation
procedure for our other ophthalmic Aeon products once they are approved by the
FDA. Based on our experience with Vitrasert, we believe that we will be able to
obtain Medicare reimbursement codes for additional Aeon products. Based in part
on our success in obtaining coverage for Vitrasert and our Vitrasert pricing
strategy, we believe that third-party payor reimbursement will be available for
our other proposed Aeon products. However, third-party payors are increasingly
challenging the price of medical products and services. Significant uncertainty
exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved health care products,
and adequate third-party coverage for our proposed products may not be
available.


Manufacturing

   We own a 34,000 square foot facility in Watertown, Massachusetts that serves
as our manufacturing facility, and we are in the process of further developing
this facility to expand our manufacturing, research and development
capabilities. We believe that manufacturing our products is a complex process
involving our proprietary know-how. Under our 1999 agreement with Bausch &
Lomb, we have agreed to manufacture implants for all of our ophthalmic clinical
trials, and are developing the production capability to serve as a primary or
secondary commercial manufacturing source for our proposed Aeon products for
diabetic macular edema, posterior uveitis and wet age-related macular
degeneration. We believe that we can achieve significant economies of scale by
manufacturing several different products based on our Aeon technology.


   The drug we are using in our ophthalmic products currently in clinical
trials is currently available from a single outside source, and the supply of
this drug could be terminated at any time. If we experience a delay in
obtaining or are unable to obtain this drug on terms we find commercially
acceptable, or at all, from our current source, we may be required to attempt
to obtain it from another source. Failure to identify and make commercially
acceptable arrangements with such an alternate source could delay or stop
development of our Aeon products currently in clinical trials.


Patents, Licenses and Intellectual Property

 Intellectual Property Strategy

   Our commercial success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patent
protection in the United States and elsewhere for our products or our
processes. We therefore seek, whenever possible, to obtain protection for these
products and processes. We also seek to expand our product and process
portfolio through collaborations, funded research and licensing technology from
others.

 Patents and Patent Applications

   We have filed and continue to file patent applications with respect to
multiple aspects of our technologies, products and processes. As of April 15,
2002, we had, or had exclusive rights to, nine United States patents and 21
foreign patents that have been issued or allowed. In addition, as of that date,
we had, or had exclusive rights to, 20 patent applications pending in the
United States and 59 patent applications pending in foreign countries. Our
patents expire at various dates starting in 2012. We believe that our patent
applications include novel technologies of potential commercial significance.
However, due to the extended period of time for review of patent applications
in the medical device and pharmaceutical field, we cannot be certain as to when
decisions regarding our


                                       38



patent applications will be made. Moreover, we do not know if any additional
patents will be granted to us or, if issued to us, will be sufficiently broad
to provide a competitive advantage. Any patent granted to us may be challenged
or circumvented by a competitor.


   The University of Kentucky Research Foundation holds six United States
patents and related foreign patents on aspects of our Aeon and Codrug
technologies. We have exclusive licenses for these patents and related know-how
and are obligated to pay the University of Kentucky Research Foundation
royalties based on sublicensing of these patents and sales of products
utilizing these patents.


   The enactment of the legislation implementing the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade resulted in changes to United States patent laws that became
effective on June 8, 1995. Most notably, the term of patent protection for
patent applications filed after June 8, 1995 is no longer a period of 17 years
from the date of grant. The new term of United States patents for applications
filed after June 8, 1995 commences on the date of issuance and terminates 20
years from the earliest effective filing date of the application in the United
States. Because the time from filing to issuance of medical device and
pharmaceutical patent applications is often more than three years, the 20-year
term from the effective date of filing may result in a substantially shortened
term of patent protection which may adversely impact our patent position.
However, legislation effective for patent applications filed on or after May
29, 2000 allows the opportunity to recover or adjust patent terms under limited
circumstances. The opportunity for recovery or adjustment of patent terms will
not be available for most of our patents and patent applications since the
filing dates of these patents and patent applications precede the effective
date of the legislation. If the patent term is shorter in the United States,
our business could be adversely affected to the extent that the duration and
level of the royalties we are entitled to receive from licenses of our
strategic patents are based on the existence of a valid patent.

 Other Proprietary Rights

   Some elements of our products, processes and methods of manufacturing
involve unpatented proprietary technology, processes, know-how or data. With
respect to proprietary technology, know-how and data that are not patentable or
potentially patentable or processes other than production processes for which
patents are difficult to enforce, we have chosen or may chose to protect our
interests by relying on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements
with our employees, consultants and contractors. To maintain the
confidentiality of trade secrets and proprietary information, we maintain a
policy of requiring employees, scientific advisors, consultants and
collaborators to execute confidentiality and invention assignment agreements
upon commencement of a relationship with us. These agreements are designed both
to enable us to protect our proprietary information by controlling the
disclosure and use of technology to which we have rights, and to provide for
our ownership of proprietary technology that we develop. However, we cannot
assure you that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our
trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such
information.


Competition

   The pharmaceutical and drug delivery industries are highly competitive. Our
one commercial product, Vitrasert, primarily competes with treatments involving
the systemic delivery of ganciclovir, a Roche Holdings AG product, and other
drugs. We must obtain regulatory approval to market our proposed products in
order to compete. We expect that our proposed products, if approved, will
compete with existing therapies for our targeted diseases as well as new drugs,
therapies, drug delivery systems or technological approaches that may be
developed to treat these diseases or their underlying causes. Any of these
drugs, therapies or systems may receive government approval or gain market
acceptance more rapidly than our proposed products, may offer therapeutic or
cost

                                       39


advantages or may cure our targeted diseases or their underlying causes
completely. As a result, our proposed products may become noncompetitive or
obsolete.

   We believe that pharmaceutical, drug delivery and biotechnology companies,
research organizations, governmental entities, universities, hospitals and
other nonprofit organizations and individual scientists are seeking to develop
therapies for our targeted diseases. For many of our targeted diseases,
competitors have alternate therapies that are already commercialized or are in
various stages of development ranging from discovery to advanced clinical
trials. For example, Eli Lilly and Company is in advanced trials for its
protein kinase C beta inhibitor for the treatment of diabetic macular edema.
Novartis AG and QLT Inc. are currently marketing their Visudyne(TM)
photodynamic therapy for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration.
Octreotide, a Novartis product approved for cancer chemotherapy, is currently
in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
Novartis also markets a cyclosporine product for the treatment of uveitis.
Oculex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Allergan, Inc. have entered into a
collaboration agreement to develop products to treat diseases occurring in the
retina and the back of the eye based on Oculex's drug delivery technologies. In
addition, Allergan, EntreMed, Inc. and Oculex are collaborating on a program to
develop a treatment for age-related macular degeneration that is at the pre-
clinical development stage. Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has an intraocular
injectable product in Phase II clinical trials to treat both wet age-related
macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. Alcon, Inc. is developing an
ocular injection for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration and
has recently reported promising data from its Phase II clinical trials of this
product. Guilford Pharmaceuticals Inc. has developed its Gliadel(R) wafer
implant for the treatment of brain tumors. Various cyclooxygenase 2, or COX-2,
inhibitors, such as VIOXX(R) marketed by Merck & Co., Inc. and Celebrex(R) co-
marketed in the United States by Pharmacia Corporation and Pfizer Inc., are
used for the treatment of osteoarthritis.


   Many competitors and potential competitors have greater research and
development, financial, regulatory, manufacturing, marketing, and sales
experience and resources than we do and represent significant potential
competition to us. We believe our ability to protect our products and
intellectual property from challenges by others and to enforce our patent
rights against potential infringement will be important to our competitive
position.


Government Regulation

   The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in state and local jurisdictions
and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the clinical
development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products. These
agencies and other federal, state and local entities regulate research and
development activities and the testing, manufacture, quality control, safety,
effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and
promotion of our drug delivery products.

   The process required by the FDA under the new drug provisions of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act before our products may be marketed in the United
States generally involves the following:


  . pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests,

  . submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND,
    which must become effective before clinical trials may begin,

  . adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the
    safety and efficacy of the proposed pharmaceutical in our intended use,

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

  . FDA review and approval of the new drug application.

                                       40



The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort, and
financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approval will be granted
on a timely basis, if at all.


   Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of the product, its
chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as animal studies to assess the
potential safety and efficacy of the product. The results of the pre-clinical
tests, together with manufacturing information, analytical data and protocols
for proposed human clinical trials, are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND,
which must become effective before we may begin human clinical trials. The IND
automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the
FDA, within the 30-day time period, raises concerns or questions about the
conduct of the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and imposes a
clinical hold. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any
outstanding concerns before clinical trials can begin. There is no certainty
that pre-clinical trials will result in the submission of an IND or that
submission of an IND will result in FDA authorization to commence clinical
trials.


   Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational product to
human subjects under the supervision of a qualified principal investigator.
Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with protocols that detail the
objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to monitor safety and any
efficacy criteria to be evaluated. Each protocol must be submitted to the FDA
as part of the IND. Further, each clinical study must be conducted under the
auspices of an independent institutional review board at the institution where
the study will be conducted. The institutional review board will consider,
among other things, ethical factors, the safety of human subjects and the
possible liability of the institution. Some clinical trials, called
"investigator-sponsored" clinical trials, are conducted by third-party
investigators. The results of these trials may be used as supporting data by a
company in its application for FDA approval, provided that the company has
contractual rights to use the results.


   Human clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases
which may overlap:

  . PHASE I: The drug is initially introduced into healthy human subjects or
    patients and tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism,
    distribution and excretion.

  . PHASE II: Studies are conducted in a limited patient population to
    identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to determine the
    efficacy of the product for specific targeted diseases and to determine
    dosage tolerance and optimal dosage.

  . PHASE III: Phase III trials are undertaken to further evaluate clinical
    efficacy and to further test for safety in an expanded patient
    population, often at geographically dispersed clinical study sites.


   In the case of products for life-threatening diseases such as cancer, or
severe conditions such as blinding eye disease, the initial human testing is
often conducted in patients with the disease rather than in healthy volunteers.
Since these patients already have the targeted disease or condition, these
studies may provide initial evidence of efficacy traditionally obtained in
Phase II trials and so these trials are frequently referred to as Phase I/II
trials. If a product uses a combination of drugs, the FDA requires that
clinical trials demonstrate that the combination is safe and effective and that
each drug contributes to efficacy. We cannot be certain that we will
successfully complete Phase I, Phase II or Phase III testing of our product
candidates within any specific time period, if at all. Furthermore, we, the
FDA, the institutional review board or the sponsor, if any, may suspend
clinical trials at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the
subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.


   The results of product development, pre-clinical studies and clinical
studies are submitted to the FDA as part of a new drug application, or NDA, for
approval of the marketing and commercial shipment of the product. The FDA may
deny an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied or may
require additional clinical data. Even if the additional data are submitted,
the FDA


                                       41



may ultimately decide that the new drug application does not satisfy the
criteria for approval. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require post-
marketing "Phase IV" clinical trials to confirm that the drug is safe and
effective for its intended uses. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product
approval if compliance with regulatory standards for production and
distribution is not maintained or if safety problems occur after the product
reaches the market. The FDA requires surveillance programs to monitor approved
products which have been commercialized, and the agency has the power to
require changes in labeling or to prevent further marketing of a product based
on the results of these post-marketing programs.


   If a drug is intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening
condition and has the potential to address unmet medical needs for this
condition, the drug sponsor may apply for FDA "fast track" designation. The
fast track designation applies only for the specific indications for which the
product satisfies these two requirements. Under fast track provisions, the FDA
is committed to working with the sponsor for the purpose of expediting the
clinical development and evaluation of the drug's safety and efficacy for the
fast track indication.


   Marketing applications filed by sponsors of products in fast track
development often will qualify for expedited review under policies or
procedures offered by the FDA, but fast track designation does not assure this
qualification. One of these expedited review procedures, known as "accelerated
approval," allows a sponsor to seek product approval on the basis of data from
a study using an endpoint that is a surrogate for the actual clinical endpoint.
A surrogate endpoint is an observation or physical indicator that, while not
providing a direct clinical benefit, is considered likely to predict a clinical
benefit for the patient. Where accelerated approval is granted, the FDA will
generally require subsequent submission of additional clinical studies that
corroborate data based on the surrogate endpoint and formally demonstrate the
clinical benefit to the patient. During the time the additional trials are
being conducted, the sponsor is allowed to manufacture, distribute and sell the
approved product. The FDA would generally withdraw its approval for the
product, however, if it found the additional data from the subsequent trials
inadequate to support the safety or efficacy of the product.






   If a drug treats a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000
people in the United States, the drug sponsor may apply to the FDA for "orphan
drug" designation under the Orphan Drug Act. Sponsors are granted seven years
of exclusive rights to market an orphan drug for treatment of that disease or
condition, independent of any additional patent protection that may apply to
the product. This marketing exclusivity does not prevent a competitor from
obtaining approval to market a different drug that treats the same disease or
condition or the same drug to treat a different disease or condition. Sponsors
also are granted tax incentives for clinical research undertaken to support an
application for an orphan drug, and grants to defray some of these clinical
costs may also be available. In addition, the FDA will typically coordinate
with the sponsor on research study design for an orphan drug and may exercise
its discretion to grant marketing approval on the basis of more limited product
safety and efficacy data than would ordinarily be required. If the FDA
withdraws a product's orphan drug designation, however, these various benefits
no longer apply.


   Satisfaction of FDA requirements or similar requirements of state, local and
foreign regulatory agencies typically takes several years and the actual time
required may vary substantially, based upon factors including the type,
complexity and novelty of the pharmaceutical product. Such 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 pre-clinical or early stage clinical trials does not assure success
in later stage clinical trials. Data from pre-clinical and clinical activities
is not always conclusive and may be susceptible to varying interpretations
which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. Even if a product
receives regulatory approval, the


                                       42



approval may be subject to significant limitations. Further, even after the FDA
approves a product, 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.


   Any products we manufacture or distribute under FDA clearances or approvals
are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including
record-keeping requirements and reporting of adverse experiences with the
products. Drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register
with the FDA and state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced
inspections by the FDA and state agencies for compliance with good
manufacturing practices, which impose procedural and documentation requirements
upon us and our third-party manufacturers.


   We are also subject to numerous other federal, state and local laws relating
to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices,
environmental protection, fire hazard control, and disposal of hazardous or
potentially hazardous substances. We may incur significant costs to comply with
such laws and regulations now or in the future. In addition, we cannot predict
what adverse governmental regulations may arise from future United States or
foreign governmental action.

   We also are subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human
clinical trials and marketing approval for pharmaceutical products which we
sell outside the United States. The requirements governing the conduct of
clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary widely from
country to country. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval, we must obtain
approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign
countries before manufacturing or marketing the product in those countries. The
approval process varies from country to country and the time required for these
approvals may differ substantially from that required for FDA approval. We
cannot assure you that clinical trials conducted in one country will be
accepted by other countries or that approval in one country will result in
approval in any other country. For clinical trials conducted outside the United
States, the clinical stages generally are comparable to the phases of clinical
development established by the FDA.

Employees

   As of April 15, 2002, we had 93 full-time employees, including 50 in
research and development and 43 in general and administrative roles. Of the 93
employees, 39 hold Ph.D., M.D. or masters degrees. None of our employees is
represented by a collective bargaining unit, and we have never experienced a
work stoppage. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.


Facilities

   We lease approximately 28,000 square feet of space at two locations in
Watertown, Massachusetts, located approximately eight miles from downtown
Boston. Our leased facilities are composed of 10,000 square feet of laboratory
space, including a Class 100,000 clean room, a synthetic chemistry laboratory,
analytical laboratory, pre-production laboratory and a pharmaceutical
development laboratory. The remaining 18,000 square feet is dedicated to
general office space. Our leases concurrently run through November 2003, with
three-year extensions at our option.


   We also own a 34,000 square foot facility in Watertown, Massachusetts. This
building is being further developed during 2002 to include manufacturing,
office and laboratory space.

   Paul Ashton, Ph.D. is one of our founders. He has served as a director since
our inception in 1991 and as President and Chief Executive Officer since 1996.
Since 1998, Dr. Ashton has had a faculty appointment at the University of
Kentucky. From 1996 to 2000, he served on the faculty of Tufts University. Dr.
Ashton received a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Durham University, England and a
Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Wales.

Officers

   Each officer serves at the discretion of the board of directors and holds
office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier
resignation or removal. There are no family relationships among any of our
directors or officers.


Employment Agreements

   In June 2001, we entered into three-year employment agreements, renewable
for successive one-year terms, with each of Dr. Ashton and Mr. Soja. We amended
these agreements in February 2002. Each of these agreements provides a salary
of $250,000 annually, subject to increase from time to time by the board of
directors, plus an annual performance-based bonus.


   Each agreement provides that we may terminate the executive's employment
upon 30 days' notice. If we terminate his employment without cause, or if he
terminates his employment for good reason, we must pay the executive 50% of his
base salary and a pro-rated portion of his maximum potential annual bonus for
the year of termination, within 30 days of termination, and continue to provide
medical and life insurance benefits for six months following termination. Also,
any options to purchase our common stock held by that executive that were
vested as of the termination date will remain exercisable for six months (or
three months in the case of incentive stock options).


   If we terminate Dr. Ashton or Mr. Soja without cause, or either of them
terminates his employment for good reason, during the two-year period following
a change of control, in lieu of the benefits outlined above, we must pay that
executive 200% of the sum of his base salary and his previous year's bonus
together with a pro-rated portion of his annual bonus for the year of
termination, within 30 days of termination, and continue to provide medical and
life insurance benefits for two years following termination. Upon a termination
without cause or for good reason during this two-year period, all options to
purchase our common stock or restricted stock held by that executive will vest
and remain exercisable for a period of one year. If change of control payments
and benefits to either of Dr. Ashton or Mr. Soja were to result in an excise
tax under the so-called "golden parachute" provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code, we would be obligated to pay the executive a tax gross-up payment.




   We have also entered into change of control agreements with Ms. Freedman,
Ms. Karloff and Dr. Walters. These agreements have generally the same terms
relating to a change of control as our


                                       45



agreements with Dr. Ashton and Mr. Soja, except that upon a qualifying
termination, we will pay these executives 100% of their base salary in the year
of termination.




   We also entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Thomas Smith, our
former Medical Director and Chairman of our Board of Directors, that was
similar to our agreements with Dr. Ashton and Mr. Soja. Following Dr. Smith's
resignation in November 2001, this agreement was terminated, and we paid
severance to Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith continued to participate in our health, life
insurance and disability plans for six months from the date of his resignation.

Board Composition

   Our board of directors currently consists of five directors. Each of the
directors serves on the board of directors pursuant to the terms of an
agreement that will terminate upon the closing of this offering. Following this
offering, the board of directors will be divided into three classes, each of
the members of which will serve for a three-year term. Dr. Ashton and Mr.
Currie will serve in the class with a term expiring in 2003, Messrs. Crane and
Karol will serve in the class with a term expiring in 2004, and Mr. McCluski
will serve in the class with a term expiring in 2005. At each annual meeting of
stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to
succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring.


Board Committees

   Our board of directors has established an audit committee and a compensation
committee. The audit committee, consisting of Messrs. Karol, Crane and Currie,
reviews our internal accounting procedures and consults with and reviews the
services provided by our independent accountants. The compensation committee,
consisting of Messrs. Crane, Currie and Karol, reviews and determines the
compensation and benefits of all of our officers, establishes and reviews
general policies relating to the compensation and benefits of all of our
employees, and administers our 1997 Stock Option Plan and 2001 Incentive Plan.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

   Prior to establishing the compensation committee, the board of directors as
a whole performed the functions delegated to the compensation committee. No
member of our current compensation committee has ever served as one of our
officers or employees. None of our executive officers serves as a member of the
board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more
executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Director Compensation



   Under our 2001 Incentive Plan, upon joining our board of directors, each
non-employee director who owns or controls less than 5% of our outstanding
capital stock will receive options to purchase 18,000 shares of our common
stock upon joining our board of directors and options to purchase 4,950 shares
of our common stock at each annual meeting at which the director continues or
is reelected to serve. Each initial grant will vest as to one-third of the
shares on the day prior to each of the ensuing annual meetings, and each annual
grant will vest on the day prior to the ensuing annual meeting.


   Our directors currently do not receive any cash compensation from us for
their services as members of the board of directors. We reimburse our directors
for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attendance at board and committee
meetings. All of our directors, including non-employee directors, are eligible
to participate in our 2001 Incentive Plan and our 1997 Stock Option Plan.

                                       46



   In November 1999, we granted options to purchase 157,500 shares of common
stock to Mr. Crane for his services as a director. Options to purchase 67,500
shares vested immediately upon grant, and the remainder were scheduled to vest
ratably each year over the ensuing five-year period. In June 2001, we granted
options to purchase 18,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Karol. One third
of the options initially vested one year from the date of grant, and the
remainder were scheduled to vest ratably yearly over the ensuing two-year
period. Effective April 1, 2002, in connection with a change to all existing
option grants designed to harmonize the vesting schedule of existing options
with our vesting policy for future grants, the options granted to Messrs. Crane
and Karol in November 1999 and June 2001 were revised such that they vested or
will vest yearly for the first two years, then pro-rata monthly thereafter over
the ensuing three-year period in the case of Mr. Crane and over the ensuing
one-year period in the case of Mr. Karol.



Executive Compensation

   The following table sets forth compensation information relating to our
Chief Executive Officer, our other executive officers whose salary and bonus
exceeded $100,000 during the year ended December 31, 2001 and one additional
person who was an executive officer for part of 2001 and whose salary and bonus
exceeded $100,000 in 2001. We refer to these five persons as the named
executive officers.

    the named executive officers to match a portion of the deferral
    contributions made by each to the plans. For Dr. Smith, this amount also
    includes $278,608 in severance and related items for 2001. For Dr. Walters,
    this amount represents compensation received as a consultant in 2001 until
    he joined us as an employee in April 2001.




(2) Mr. Soja joined us in February 2001.




(3) Dr. Smith resigned as an officer and employee in November 2001 and as one
    of our directors in February 2002.


Stock Option Grants

   The following table contains summary information regarding stock option
grants made during the year ended December 31, 2001 by us to the named
executive officers. We granted these options at an exercise price equal to the
fair value of the common stock on the date of grant as determined by


                                       47



our board of directors. When granted, these options were scheduled to vest
ratably annually over a four-year period. The vesting schedules for these
options were revised, effective April 1, 2002, in connection with a change to
all existing option grants designed to harmonize the vesting schedule of
existing options with our vesting policy for future grants. Following this
change, the option granted to Mr. Soja vested as to 25% of the shares in
February 2002, vests as to an additional 25% of the shares in February 2003,
and vests pro-rata monthly thereafter over the ensuing two-year period.
Following this change, the option granted to Dr. Walters vested as to 25% of
the shares in November 2001, vests as to an additional 25% of the shares in
November 2002, and vests pro-rata monthly thereafter over the ensuing two-year
period.


   There was no public market for our common stock on the grant dates of these
options. Accordingly, we calculated the potential realizable value of these
options assuming our initial public offering price appreciates at the indicated
rate for the entire term of the option and that the option holder exercises his
option on the last day of its term at the appreciated price. All options listed
have a term of 10 years. We assumed stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% per
year pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We cannot
assure you that our actual stock price will appreciate over the 10-year option
term at the assumed 5% and 10% levels, or at any other rate.

Year End Option Values


   The following table provides information about the number and value of
unexercised options to purchase common stock held on December 31, 2001 by the
named executive officers. There was no public market for our common stock on
December 31, 2001. Accordingly, we have calculated the values of the
unexercised options on the basis of our assumed initial public offering price
per share, less the applicable exercise price, multiplied by the number of
shares underlying the option.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers and Limitation on Liability

   Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be
liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty, except to the extent otherwise required by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. This provision will not prevent our stockholders from
obtaining injunctive or other relief against our directors nor does it shield
our directors from liability under federal or state securities laws.

                                       48


   Our certificate of incorporation also requires us to indemnify our directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, subject to a few very limited exceptions where indemnification
is not permitted by applicable law. Our certificate of incorporation also
requires us to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in
connection with any legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. These rights are not exclusive.

   We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors.

Incentive Plans

 2001 Incentive Plan

   Our 2001 Incentive Plan has been adopted by our board of directors and
approved by our stockholders. The plan provides for the issuance of up to
2,700,000 shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock
available for issuance under the plan will increase at the beginning of each of
our fiscal years, beginning in 2003, by an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) 1,170,000 shares, (ii) 3% of the number of shares of common stock
outstanding as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year or (iii)
such other amount as may be determined by our compensation committee, provided
that in no event will more than 14,400,000 shares be issued upon the exercise
of stock options under the plan.



   The compensation committee of our board of directors administers the plan.
The compensation committee has authority to interpret the plan, grant awards
and make all other determinations necessary to administer the plan.

   The plan provides for the grant of stock, stock options, stock appreciation
rights and performance awards. Stock may be granted with or without vesting
restrictions. Stock options may be issued either as incentive stock options,
commonly called ISOs, that qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code or as nonqualified stock options, commonly called NQOs. ISOs may be
granted only to our employees or employees of a parent or subsidiary. NQOs may
be granted to our employees, directors and consultants. Generally, the exercise
price of ISOs must be at least equal to the fair market value of our common
stock on the date of grant. Any grant of an ISO to a holder of 10% or more of
our outstanding shares of common stock must have an exercise price of at least
110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options
granted under the plan have a maximum term of 10 years. Options granted under
the plan may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. They generally also must be exercised during the lifetime of
the optionee and only by the optionee. Performance awards may be awarded upon
attainment by employees of performance criteria specified by the committee and
may consist of cash or a combination of cash and stock.


   Options granted under the plan generally expire three months after the
termination of the optionee's service, except in the case of death, in which
case the options generally may be exercised up to 12 months following the date
of death. If we are dissolved or liquidated or experience a change in control,
all awards granted under the plan will become exercisable, then terminate,
unless the successor corporation, if any, assumes or substitutes for
outstanding awards. Unless otherwise provided in an individual award, if,
within 12 months following a change of control of us, a holder of an award
granted under the plan is terminated or his or her principal place of work is
relocated more than 50 miles from its current location, all outstanding awards
held by the participant will vest and become exercisable.


 1997 Stock Option Plan

   Our board of directors and shareholders adopted our 1997 Stock Option Plan
in July 1997. The plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,700,000 shares of
common stock. The plan terminates in


                                       49



July 2007, unless terminated earlier by our board of directors. The
compensation committee of our board of directors administers the plan and has
authority to interpret the plan, grant awards and make all other determinations
necessary to administer the plan. The plan provides for the grant of stock
appreciation rights, commonly called SARs, and both ISOs and NQOs, which are
subject to the same restrictions as ISOs and NQOs granted under our 2001
Incentive Plan.


   Options or SARs granted under the plan generally expire three months after
the termination of the optionee's service, except in the case of death or
disability, in which case the options or SARs generally may be exercised up to
12 months following the date of death. If we are dissolved or liquidated or
experience a change in control, all options and SARs granted under the plan
will become exercisable, then terminate, unless the successor corporation, if
any, assumes or substitutes for outstanding awards. Unless otherwise provided
in an individual award, if, within 12 months following a change of control of
us, a holder of an award granted under the plan is terminated or his or her
principal place of work is relocated more than 50 miles from its current
location, all outstanding awards held by the participant will vest and become
exercisable.





 408(k) Plan

   In 1997, we adopted a Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension Plan
under Section 408(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for all employees who earn at
least $3,000 in gross salary per year. A participant may contribute up to a
maximum of $6,000 of his or her salary annually, subject to some limitations.
We match employee contributions at a rate of 3% of the employee's annual
salary, up to a maximum of $6,000 per employee. For the year ended December 31,
2000, we contributed $39,000 to the plan in matching contributions. We and our
employees stopped contributing to this plan effective December 31, 2000.


 401(k) Plan

   Effective January 1, 2001, we established a savings plan for our employees
which is designed to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Eligible employees are permitted to contribute to the 401(k) plan through
payroll deduction, subject to statutory and plan limits. We match 100% of the
employee contributions up to 5% of each employee's qualified compensation. We
contributed $200,000 to the plan during 2001.

                           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   Bausch & Lomb Incorporated, from which we have received a substantial
portion of our revenues, owns 5,400,000 shares of our common stock. In
addition, Stephen McCluski, a member of our board of directors, is the Senior
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Bausch & Lomb. Under a licensing
and development agreement we entered into on December 3, 1992, originally with
Chiron Vision Corporation, Bausch & Lomb has exclusive rights to market and
sell our Vitrasert product and pays us royalties on these sales. Under our 1999
agreement, Bausch & Lomb has the exclusive right to market and sell any
products we develop for the treatment of eye disease, including our Aeon
products under development for the treatment of diabetic macular edema,
posterior uveitis and wet age-related macular degeneration. Under this
agreement, we will manufacture products for all clinical trials and expand our
commercial manufacturing capacity. This agreement was amended effective January
2001 and again effective December 2001.


   In June 1999, we entered into a Stock Option and Purchase Agreement with
Bausch & Lomb under which Bausch & Lomb had an option to purchase shares of
preferred stock. Bausch & Lomb never exercised its option to purchase these
shares. In June 2000, we terminated this agreement.

   Under a bridge financing agreement, on various dates we issued an aggregate
of 1,074,015 shares of our common stock to Bausch & Lomb for aggregate
consideration of $1,250,000, including an issuance of 157,545 shares on
February 10, 1999. All issuances were made at the fair market value on the date
of issue. On June 9, 2000 we redeemed 1,074,015 shares of our common stock held
by Bausch & Lomb in exchange for aggregate consideration valued at $1,250,000,
consisting of cash and waivers of license fees otherwise due to us.






   Vincent Manopoli is a former director and officer who held in excess of 5%
of our outstanding shares until August 8, 2000. On January 10, 1999, we
redeemed 58,500 shares of our common stock held by Mr. Manopoli for $65,000. On
June 15, 2000, we redeemed 1,381,500 shares of our common stock held by Mr.
Manopoli in exchange for $150,000 and a note in the amount of $2,065,000. We
have satisfied our obligations under this note.


   Under agreements with the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, or the
UKRF, Drs. Ashton and Smith receive a portion of the royalties received by the
UKRF from us for technology we have licensed from the UKRF. These royalties
pertain to technology developed by Drs. Ashton and Smith while they were
performing research at the University of Kentucky. During 1999, these royalties
totaled $75,000 for Dr. Ashton and $25,000 for Dr. Smith. During 2000, these
royalties totaled $28,000 for Dr. Ashton and $28,000 for Dr. Smith. During
2001, these royalties totalled $46,000 for Dr. Ashton and $22,000 for Dr.
Smith.


   Kenneth Walters, our Vice President of Research and Discovery, owns 33% of,
and serves as an officer and director of, An-Ex Analytical Services Ltd. Under
agreements with us, An-Ex Analytical Service Ltd. is performing research on
aspects of our Ceredur product and our Co-drug technology. We expect to pay a
total of approximately $100,000 to An-Ex Analytical Services Ltd. under these
agreements.

                             PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

   The following table sets forth information known to us with respect to the
beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 15, 2002 by the following
persons:


  . each stockholder known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our
     common stock,

  . each of our directors,

  . each of the named executive officers, and

  . all directors and executive officers as a group.

   This table lists applicable percentage ownership based on 23,516,766 shares
of common stock outstanding as of April 15, 2002, and also lists applicable
percentage ownership based on 28,916,766 shares of common stock outstanding
after completion of this offering. Percentage ownership assumes conversion of
all shares of preferred stock outstanding as of April 15, 2002 into shares of
common stock, which will occur upon the closing of this offering.


   We have determined beneficial ownership in the table 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, we have deemed shares of common stock subject to options or warrants
held by that person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable
within 60 days of April 15, 2002 to be outstanding, but we have not deemed
these shares to be outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any
other person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes below,
each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment
power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by
that stockholder.


   Unless otherwise noted, the address for each person listed in the chart
below is c/o Control Delivery Systems, Inc., 313 Pleasant Street, Watertown, MA
02472. The address for Bausch & Lomb Incorporated is One Bausch & Lomb Place,
Rochester, NY 14604. The address for Essex Woodlands Health Ventures is 190
South LaSalle Street, Suite 2800, Chicago, IL 60603.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

   Upon the completion of this offering, we will be authorized to issue
100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 20,000,000
shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The
following description of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and
is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, our certificate of
incorporation and by-laws, which we have included as exhibits to the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.


Preferred Stock

   As of April 15, 2002 there were 641,642 shares of Series A convertible
preferred stock outstanding, held of record by 49 stockholders. Upon the
closing of this offering, all outstanding shares of Series A convertible
preferred stock will convert into 5,774,778 shares of common stock. Our board
of directors will have the authority, without further action by the
stockholders, to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or
more series and to designate the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions of each series. The issuance of preferred stock could have the
effect of restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power
of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock or
delaying or preventing a change in control without further action by the
stockholders. We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock
after the completion of this offering.


Common Stock

   As of April 15, 2002 there were 17,741,988 shares of common stock
outstanding, held of record by 46 stockholders. In addition, as of April 15,
2002, there were 2,800,053 shares of common stock subject to outstanding
options. Upon completion of this offering, there will be 28,916,766 shares of
common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of outstanding stock options and
conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into common stock.


   Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to
be voted upon by stockholders. Subject to preferences that may apply to any
outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock will receive ratably any
dividends that the board of directors may declare out of funds legally
available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all
assets remaining after payment of liabilities and any liquidation preference of
preferred stock that may be outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive
rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking
fund provisions. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-
assessable, and the shares of common stock that we will issue upon completion
of this offering will be fully paid and non-assessable.




Registration Rights

   We have granted demand registration rights to the holders of our Series A
convertible preferred stock and Bausch & Lomb. Beginning 180 days after this
offering, if the requisite percentage of these stockholders so request, we
must register their shares of common stock, provided the aggregate value
exceeds $10.0 million. We are not obligated to effect more than two required
registrations in total or more than one in any 12-month period. In addition,
these holders, together

                                       54


with Drs. Smith and Ashton, may require us to register their shares any time we
propose a registered offering, subject to our right to decrease the number of
shares included if market conditions prevent the registration of all shares.
Twelve months after this offering, holders of registration rights may request
that we register their shares on Form S-3, provided that each proposed
registration exceeds $2.5 million. Holders of registration rights may not
require us to register shares on Form S-3 more than twice in any 12-month
period or more than once in any six-month period.

   If our board of directors determines that a registration would be materially
detrimental to us, we may suspend these rights for up to 180 days, but we may
not do so more than once in any one-year period. Registration rights are
transferable, provided the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of our
registration rights agreement and is an affiliate of an existing holder of
registration rights or acquires at least 10% of the shares entitled to
registration rights initially held by the transferor. We must bear all expenses
associated with the filing of registration statements on behalf of holders of
registration rights except for underwriting discounts and selling commissions.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 Delaware Law

   We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which
regulates acquisitions of some Delaware corporations. In general, Section 203
prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business
combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years
following the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless:

  . the corporation's board of directors approved the business combination or
    the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder
    prior to the time the person attained this status,

  . upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming
    an interested stockholder, the person owned at least 85% of the voting
    stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction
    commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also
    officers, or

  . at or subsequent to the time the person became an interested stockholder,
    the corporation's board of directors approved the business combination
    and the stockholders other than the interested stockholder authorized the
    transaction at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the
    affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock not
    owned by the interested stockholder.

   A "business combination" generally includes a merger, asset or stock sale or
other transaction with or caused by the interested stockholder. In general, an
"interested stockholder" is a person who, together with the person's affiliates
and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of
interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation's voting
stock.

   This statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change-in-
control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts
to acquire us.

 Certificate of Incorporation and By-law Provisions

   Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation divides our board of
directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms. In addition, our
certificate of incorporation provides that directors may be removed only for
cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of our shares

                                       55


of capital stock entitled to vote. Under our certificate of incorporation, any
vacancy on our board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an
enlargement of our board of directors, may only be filled by vote of a majority
of our directors then in office. The classification of our board of directors
and the limitations on the removal of directors and filling of vacancies could
make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third
party from acquiring, control of us.

   Stockholder Meetings. Under our by-laws to be effective upon the closing of
this offering, special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the
board of directors, the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer.
Our by-laws will also provide that stockholders wishing to propose business to
be brought before a meeting of stockholders will be required to comply with
various advance notice requirements. Finally, our certificate of incorporation
and by-laws will provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by
our stockholders at an annual or special meeting may be taken only if properly
brought before the meeting, and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of
a meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next
stockholders' meeting stockholder actions which are favored by the holders of a
majority of our outstanding voting securities. These provisions may also
discourage a third party from making a tender offer for our common stock,
because even if it acquired a majority of our outstanding voting securities,
the third party would be able to take action as a stockholder (such as electing
new directors or approving a merger) only at a duly called stockholders'
meeting, and not by written consent.

   Undesignated Preferred Stock. The authorization of undesignated preferred
stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock
with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any
attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of
deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control of us.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

   The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company. The transfer agent's address is 59 Maiden Lane, New
York, NY 10038.


                                       56


                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

   Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our common stock.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market
could adversely affect prevailing market prices. Sales of substantial amounts
of our common stock in the public market after any restrictions on sale lapse
could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common stock and
impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

   Upon completion of the offering, we will have 28,916,766 outstanding shares
of common stock, and outstanding options to purchase 2,800,053 shares of common
stock assuming no additional option grants, exercises or forfeitures after
April 15, 2002. None of the shares sold in the offering will be subject to the
lock-up agreements described below. We expect that all shares sold in the
offering, plus any shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option, will be freely tradable without restriction under the
Securities Act, unless purchased by our "affiliates" as that term is defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In general, affiliates include officers,
directors and 10% or greater stockholders.


   The remaining 23,516,766 shares outstanding and 2,800,053 shares subject to
outstanding options are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144.
Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if the sale is
registered or if it qualifies for an exemption from registration, or if the
securities can be sold under Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 promulgated under the
Securities Act, which are summarized below. Sales of restricted securities in
the public market, or the availability of these shares for sale, could
adversely affect the market price of the common stock.


Lock-Up Agreements

   We, our directors, officers, and various other stockholders and employees,
who together hold substantially all of our securities, have entered into lock-
up agreements in connection with this offering. These lock-up agreements
generally provide that these holders will not offer, sell, contract to sell,
grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of our common stock or any
securities exercisable for or convertible into our common stock owned by them
prior to this offering for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
Notwithstanding possible earlier eligibility for sale under the provisions of
Rules 144, 144(k) and 701, shares subject to lock-up agreements may not be sold
until these agreements expire or are waived. Assuming that Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. does not release any securityholders from the lock-up
agreements, the following shares will be eligible for sale in the public market
at the following times:


  .  Beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of which
     this prospectus forms a part, all of the shares sold in this offering
     will be immediately available for sale in the public market.

  .  Beginning 180 days after the effective date, approximately an additional
     23,175,000 shares will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144, Rule
     144(k) and Rule 701, subject to the volume and other restrictions
     described below.


Rule 144

   In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, after the expiration of
the lock-up agreements, a person who has beneficially owned restricted
securities for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any three-
month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

  .  1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will
     equal approximately 289,167 shares immediately after this offering, and

                                       57


  .  the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four
     calendar weeks preceding the sale.

   Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to requirements with respect to manner
of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144(k)

   Under Rule 144(k) as currently in effect, a person who is not deemed to have
been our affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and
who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two
years, may sell these shares without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice requirements of Rule 144.


Rule 701

   Rule 701, as currently in effect, permits our employees, officers, directors
or consultants who purchased shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or
contract to resell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without
compliance with certain restrictions. Rule 701 provides that affiliates may
sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 ninety days after effectiveness
without complying with the holding period requirement and that non-affiliates
may sell these shares in reliance on Rule 144 ninety days after effectiveness
without complying with the holding period, public information, volume
limitation or notice requirements of Rule 144.

Incentive Plans

   We intend to file one or more registration statements under the Securities
Act after the effective date of this offering to register shares to be issued
pursuant to our 1997 Stock Option Plan and 2001 Incentive Plan. As a result,
shares issued under our 1997 Stock Option Plan or our 2001 Incentive Plan will
generally be freely tradable in the public market. However, shares held by
affiliates will still be subject to the volume limitation, manner of sale,
notice and public information requirements of Rule 144, unless otherwise
resellable under Rule 701. As of April 15, 2002, we had granted options to
purchase 2,800,053 shares of common stock to employees, directors and
consultants that had not been exercised or canceled. See "Management--Incentive
Plans" and "Description of Capital Stock--Registration Rights."

   The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several
underwriters to purchase the shares of common stock we are offering are subject
to conditions precedent and that the underwriters will purchase all of the
shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, other than those covered by
the over-allotment option described below, if they purchase any of these
shares.

   The representatives of the underwriters have advised us that the
underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the
public offering price shown on the cover of this prospectus and to dealers at a
price that represents a concession not in excess of $     per share under the
public offering price. The underwriters may allow, and these dealers may re-
allow, a concession of not more than $     per share to other dealers. After
the initial public offering, representatives of the underwriters may change the
offering price and other selling terms.

   We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable not later than 30
days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 810,000 additional
shares of common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting
discounts and commissions shown on the cover page of this prospectus. The
underwriters may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments made in
connection with the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus. To the
extent that the underwriters exercise this option, each of the underwriters
will become obligated, subject to conditions, to purchase approximately the
same percentage of these additional shares of common stock as the number of
shares of common stock to be purchased by it in the above table bears to the
total number of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. We will be
obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell these additional shares of common
stock to the underwriters to the extent the option is exercised. If any
additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer
the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being
offered.


   The underwriting discounts and commissions per share are equal to the public
offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the
underwriters to us per share of common stock. The underwriting discounts and
commissions are   % of the initial public offering price. We have

                                       59


agreed to pay the underwriters the following discounts and commissions,
assuming either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of the
underwriters' over-allotment option:

   In addition, we estimate that our share of the total expenses of this
offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be
approximately $2,000,000.


   We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against some specified types of
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute
to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of any of these
liabilities.

   Each of our officers and directors, and various other stockholders and
employees, who together hold substantially all of our securities, have agreed,
subject to limited exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction that is designated to, or
could be expected to, result in the disposition of any shares of our common
stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
shares of our common stock or derivatives of our common stock owned by these
persons prior to this offering or common stock issuable upon exercise of
options held by these persons for a period of 180 days after the effective date
of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part without the
prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. They may give this
consent at any time without public notice. We have entered into a similar
agreement with the representatives of the underwriters except that without such
consent we may grant options and sell shares pursuant to our stock option plan
and we may issue shares of our common stock in connection with a strategic
partnering transaction or in exchange for all or substantially all of the
equity or assets of a company in connection with a merger or acquisition. There
are no agreements between the representatives and any of our stockholders or
affiliates releasing them from these lock-up agreements prior to the expiration
of the 180-day period.


   The representatives of the underwriters have advised us that the
underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any account over which they
exercise discretionary authority.

   In connection with the offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing
transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions and
penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.


  . Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security
    so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price
    per share.

  . Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of
    the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which
    creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a
    covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short
    position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not
    greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-
    allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares
    involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment
    option. The underwriters may close out any short position by either
    exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the
    open market.

  . Syndicate-covering transactions may involve purchases of the common stock
    in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to
    cover syndicate short positions.


                                       60


   In determining the source of shares to close out the 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. If the
   underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment
   option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by
   buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to
   be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could 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.



  . Penalty bids permit the representatives of the underwriters to reclaim a
    selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock
    originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or
    syndicate-covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.


   These stabilizing transactions, syndicate-covering transactions and penalty
bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our
common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our
common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the
price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be
affected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.


   At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial
public offering price up to 270,000 shares of our common stock being sold in
this offering for our directors, officers, employees, business associates and
their respective friends and family members. The number of shares of our common
stock available for the sale to the general public will be reduced to the
extent these reserved shares are purchased. Any reserved shares not purchased
by these persons will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on
the same basis as the other shares in this offering.


   A prospectus in electronic format is being made available on Internet web
sites maintained by one or more of the lead underwriters of this offering and
may be made available on web sites maintained by other underwriters. Other than
the prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriter's web
site and any information contained in any other web site maintained by an
underwriter is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of
which the prospectus forms a part.

Pricing of this Offering

   Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price of our common stock will
be determined by negotiation among us and the representatives of the
underwriters. Among the primary factors that will be considered in determining
the public offering price are:

  .  prevailing market conditions,

  .  our results of operations in recent periods,

  .  the present stage of our development,

  .  the market capitalizations and stages of development of other companies
     that we and the representatives of the underwriters believe to be
     comparable to our business, and

  .  estimates of our business potential.

   Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. acted as a placement agent in connection with
the private placement of our Series A convertible preferred stock and, in
connection with that placement


                                       61



received compensation consisting of cash and warrants to purchase our common
stock. We issued 164,826 shares of our common stock to Deutsche Bank Securities
Inc. upon the cashless exercise of these warrants on April 2, 2002. In
addition, several employees of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. purchased a total
of 4,280 shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock on the same terms
as those on which such securities were offered to other investors in the Series
A placement. These shares will convert into 38,520 shares of our common stock
upon the completion of this offering. The holders of these shares have entered
into lock-up agreements that prevent transfers of the shares for a period of
180 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part.

                       Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Control Delivery Systems, Inc.:


The stock split described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements
has not been consummated at May 31, 2002. When it has been consummated, we
will be in a position to furnish the following report:


   "In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
   related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' deficit and
   comprehensive income (loss) and of cash flows present fairly, in all
   material respects, the financial position of Control Delivery Systems, Inc.
   and its subsidiary at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
   operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
   ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally
   accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are
   the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to
   express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
   conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing
   standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting
   principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
   evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
   our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion."


   As discussed in Note 14, the Company has revised its financial statements
   for the year ended December 31, 2000 with respect to its recognition of
   government research grant revenues.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Stock Split

   On June 12, 2001, the Company's board of directors approved a nine-for-one
stock split of the Company's common stock to be effected prior to the initial
public offering (the "IPO"). In accordance with the terms of the Series A
redeemable convertible preferred stock, the conversion ratio will be adjusted
so that each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock is convertible
into nine shares of common stock. All common stock share and per share amounts
and stock option data in these consolidated financial statements were restated
to reflect this split.


 Change in Company Fiscal Year End

   In November 2000, the Company changed its fiscal year end from November 30
to a calendar year end. Accordingly, previously prepared financial statements
were restated to reflect the revised year end.


 Basis of Presentation; Principles of Consolidation

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of
the Company and CDS Securities Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiary. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 Interim Financial Information


   The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31,
2001 and 2002 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal, recurring adjustments), which the Company considers necessary for a
fair presentation of the operating results and cash flows for such periods. The
results of operations for such interim periods may not be indicative of the
results to be achieved for the full year.





 Use of Estimates and Assumptions

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information as of March 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001
                          and 2002 is unaudited)


 Cash and Cash Equivalents


   The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents, which consist of money market funds, municipal notes and bonds,
and commercial paper, are valued at cost plus accrued interest.


 Investments

   Investments consist of marketable securities, which are classified as
available for sale. Investments are stated at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss), which is a separate component of stockholders' deficit, until realized.
The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices. Realized
gains and losses are determined on the specific identification method and are
included in investment income.


 Concentration of Credit Risk

   Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk primarily consist of money market funds and marketable
securities. The Company places these investments with financial institutions
which management believes are of high credit quality.


   At December 31, 2000 and 2001 and at March 31, 2002, all of the Company's
accounts receivable were due from one customer. Revenue from one customer
represented 86%, 89% and 98% of total revenues during the years ended December
31, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and 95% and 100% of total revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.


 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, at December 31, 2000 and 2001 and at March 31, 2002 approximated
their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.


 Derivative Instruments

   In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities--an Amendment to
FASB Statement No. 133." This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively
referred to as "derivatives") and for hedging activities. The statement
requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities, with the instruments measured at fair value. The accounting for
changes in fair value, gains or losses, depends on the intended use of the
derivative and its resulting designation.


 Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over the shorter of the asset life or the lease term. Property
and equipment held under capital leases are initially recorded at the lower of
the fair market value of the related asset or the present value of the minimum
lease payments at the inception of the lease. Repairs and maintenance that do
not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to
operations. On disposal, the related accumulated depreciation or amortization
is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the
results of operations.

                         CONTROL DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information as of March 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001
                          and 2002 is unaudited)


 Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets


   The Company evaluates the recoverability of its property and equipment and
other long-lived assets when circumstances indicate that an event of impairment
may have occurred in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be
Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 requires recognition of impairment of long-
lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future
undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which
such assets relate. Impairment is measured based on the difference between the
carrying value of the related assets or businesses and the discounted future
cash flows of such assets or businesses. No impairment was required to be
recognized for any of the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001.


   On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. This statement develops one accounting model for long-lived
assets that are to be disposed of by sale, as well as addresses the principal
implementation issues. The Company's adoption of SFAS 144 had no impact on its
financial position and results of operations.


 Pro Forma Stockholders' Equity (Unaudited)

   The Company has filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to sell shares of its common stock in an IPO. Upon the IPO,
all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock will convert
into common stock. Also, the Company's board of directors has approved an
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizing the Company to
issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, which the Company expects to file prior to the IPO. The unaudited pro
forma balance sheet presentation of Stockholders' Equity has been prepared
assuming the filing of an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into common stock
on March 31, 2002.


 Revenue Recognition

   The Company enters into licensing and development agreements with
collaborative partners for the development of products. The terms of the
agreements may include nonrefundable license fees, funding for research and
development and payments based on the achievement of certain milestones, all of
which the Company reports as collaborative research and development revenue, as
well as royalties on product sales, which the Company records as royalties
revenue.


   The Company recognizes collaborative research and development payments under
licensing and development agreements as revenue on a percentage of completion
accounting basis, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB
101"). Application of this policy requires that the Company make the following
calculations at the end of each reporting period to determine the Company's
revenue from these agreements during that period. First, the Company determines
the actual costs it has incurred through the end of the reporting period
related to the agreement, and adds to that amount the costs it expects to incur
in the future to complete the agreement, to arrive at the total cost the
Company expects to incur from inception to completion of the agreement. The
Company then divides the actual costs it has incurred through the end of the
reporting period related to the agreement by the total costs it expects to
incur from inception to completion to arrive at the percentage of the agreement
the Company has completed at the end of the reporting period. The Company
multiplies this percentage by the sum of total license fees received,
milestones earned and research and development payments received and expected
to be received under the agreement, and subtracts revenue it has recognized
under the agreement during previous reporting periods, to arrive at the amount
of revenue related to the agreement it will recognize for the current


                                      F-9


                        CONTROL DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  (Information as of March 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March 31,
                       2001 and 2002 is unaudited)


reporting period. The Company considers contingent payments, such as milestone
payments, to be earned only after the Company has satisfied all the
contingencies related to the payment and the Company's collaboration partner
is obligated to make the payment to the Company. Revisions in cost estimates
and contractual payments, as contracts progress, have the effect of increasing
or decreasing revenue recognized in the current and future periods.


   When the total amounts received and due under an agreement exceed the
revenue the Company has recognized under that agreement, then the Company
records the difference as deferred revenue. Such deferred revenue is
recognized as revenue over the remaining performance period in a manner
similar to that described above.




   Government research grants are recognized as revenue when the related
expense is incurred.


   Royalty revenue is recognized based on actual sales of licensed products in
licensed territories as reported by licensees and is generally recognized in
the period the sales occur. If a portion of the royalty revenue relates to
sponsored research and development, it is deferred and amortized consistent
with percentage of completion for that contract.

   The Company evaluates all collaborative agreements each reporting period to
determine the appropriate revenue recognition for that period. The evaluation
includes all of the potential revenue components from each specific
collaborative agreement.


 Research and Development


   All costs associated with internal research and development, research and
development conducted for others and research and development services for
which the Company has externally contracted are expensed as incurred. Costs
allocated to research and development expense include, but are not limited to,
salaries and benefits, clinical trial costs, outside consultants, cost to
manufacture clinical trial materials and facility related expenses.


 Patents


   All costs to secure patents are expensed as incurred.


 Stock-based Compensation

   SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation," ("SFAS 123")
encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation costs for
stock-based employee compensation at fair value. The Company has chosen to
adopt SFAS 123 for disclosure purposes only. In accounting for its stock-based
compensation plan, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 ("APB 25"), and related interpretations for all awards granted to
employees, including FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion
No. 25" ("FIN 44"). Under APB 25, when the exercise price of options granted
to employees under the plan equals or exceeds the market price of the common
stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. When the
exercise price of options granted to employees under the plan is less than the
market price of the common stock on the date of grant, related compensation
costs are expensed over the vesting period.

                         CONTROL DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          and 2002 is unaudited)


For stock options granted to non-employees, the Company recognizes compensation
costs in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that Are
Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling
Goods or Services" ("EITF 96-18"). SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18 require that
companies recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options and
other equity instruments based on fair value.

 Income Taxes

   The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and
assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement
and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as net operating loss
carryforwards, and are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year
in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets may be
reduced by a valuation allowance to reflect the uncertainty associated with
their ultimate realization.

 Comprehensive Income (Loss)

   The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) under SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards
for reporting comprehensive income and its components in the financial
statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity
during a period from non-owner sources. The Company had no items of other
comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company had
$70,000 in unrealized holding losses on its investments for the year ended
December 31, 2000, $102,000 in unrealized holding gains for the year ended
December 31, 2001, $74,000 in unrealized holding gains for the three months
ended March 31, 2001, and $60,000 in unrealized holding losses for the three
months ended March 31, 2002.


 Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share


   The Company accounts for and discloses net income (loss) per common share in
accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," ("SFAS 128") and SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB
98, basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is
computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by
the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common
share equivalents during the period. Common share equivalents are not included
in the per share calculations where the effect of their inclusion would be
antidilutive. Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the
exercise of stock options and warrants and the weighted average conversion of
the preferred stock into shares of common stock. The calculations of the net
loss per share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 and for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002 do not include common share
equivalents as their impact would be antidilutive.


 Segment Reporting

   SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" ("SFAS 131") requires companies to report information about
operating segments in interim and

annual financial statements. It also established standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
The Company has determined that it operates in only one segment.



 Recent Accounting Pronouncements


   In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS
141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142").
These statements eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for
business combinations and require that goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite lives not be amortized. Instead, these assets will be reviewed for
impairment annually with any related losses recognized when incurred. SFAS 141
is generally effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
The provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001, and were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. The
Company's adoption of these statements did not have an impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.


   In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"), which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. This statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-
lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS 143 requires,
among other things, that the retirement obligations be recognized when they are
incurred and displayed as liabilities on the balance sheet. In addition, the
asset's retirement costs are to be capitalized as part of the asset's carrying
amount and subsequently allocated to expense over the asset's useful life. The
Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 143 will not have a significant
impact on the Company's financial statements.

   Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed using the

   Because their effect was antidilutive, potentially dilutive common share
equivalents of 2,535,318 and 3,136,671 related to the assumed exercise of the
outstanding warrants and stock options were excluded from the pro forma
diluted calculations for the year ended December 31, 2001 and for the three

7. Preferred Stock



   In August 2000, the Board of Directors designated 650,000 shares of
preferred stock as Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par
value ("Series A preferred stock"). Also, in August 2000, the Company sold
641,642 shares of Series A preferred stock to third-party investors at $53.74
per share for total gross proceeds of $34.5 million. The Company recorded the
Series A preferred stock at $31.2 million, which is net of $2.2 million of cash
issuance costs and the $1.1 million fair value of warrants issued in
conjunction with the preferred stock offering. The carrying value of the Series
A preferred stock is being accreted to the redemption value on a straight-line
basis through the first redemption date of August 2007.

                         CONTROL DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information as of March 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001
                          and 2002 is unaudited)



   Series A preferred stockholders vote together with the common stockholders
as a single class. Series A preferred stock is convertible into nine shares of
common stock and is entitled to non-cumulative dividends when and if declared,
at the annual rate of $4.30 per share. Holders of a majority of the outstanding
Series A preferred stock may elect on and after August 8, 2007 to have the
Company redeem all then outstanding Series A preferred stock at the issue price
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. On liquidation, the holders of the
Series A preferred stock are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the
issue price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A preferred stock
outstanding will automatically be converted into shares of common stock upon
the earliest of (1) the closing by the Company of a public offering raising
gross proceeds of $20 million or more at an offering price per share greater
than or equal to $11.94, (2) following completion of a public offering not
triggering conversion under (1) above, the date on which the average closing
price of the common stock has exceeded $11.94 for any 20 consecutive trading
days, or (3) the receipt by the Company of a written consent of the holders of
at least 66 2/3% of the Series A preferred stock then outstanding or conversion
of at least 66 2/3% of the Series A preferred stock originally issued.

8. Warrants

   In connection with its issuance of the Series A preferred stock, the Company
issued warrants to a third party to purchase up to 336,618 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.97 per share. On April 2,
2002, the Company issued 164,826 shares of its common stock upon the cashless
exercise of the warrants.


   The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes
pricing model and $1.1 million was recorded in equity as additional paid-in
capital and as a discount on the preferred stock, to be accreted on a straight
line basis through the first redemption date of August 2007.


9.Common Stock

   In 1998 and 1999, Bausch & Lomb Incorporated ("Bausch & Lomb") purchased
916,470 and 157,545 shares of common stock for $1.0 million and $250,000,
respectively. In April 1998, the Company gave Bausch & Lomb the right to pay
license fees and royalties owed to the Company by transferring these shares of
common stock back to the Company at their original purchase price, and Bausch &
Lomb gave the Company the right to require payment of royalties due from Bausch
& Lomb with such shares at such price. In June 2000, these agreements were
terminated, and Bausch & Lomb sold all of these shares to the Company in
consideration of the waiver of the payment of $1.0 million in license
maintenance fees and a $250,000 cash payment made in November 2000 by the
Company. As of March 31, 2002, Bausch & Lomb continues to own 5,400,000 shares
of common stock which it or one of its subsidiaries has held since 1992.


   In September 1999, the Company gave a shareholder a right to require the
Company to repurchase over a period of years up to 1,800,000 shares at $1.11
per share. Prior to 2009, the Company had a right to purchase such shares at
$1.60 with cash and a promissory note. In January 2000, the Company purchased
58,500 shares for cash at $1.11 per share. On June 15, 2000, the Company and
the shareholder terminated this agreement and the Company purchased 1,381,500
shares at a price of $1.60 per share. The Company paid $150,000 in cash and
$2.1 million with an 8.75% promissory note due June 2001, collateralized by
1,287,945 shares of the Company's common stock. In August 2000, the Company
paid the principal amount of the note, plus interest.

(Information as of March 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001
                          and 2002 is unaudited)


   In November 2000, the Company approved for issuance 280,800 shares of common
stock to non-employees for services previously rendered. The shares of common
stock were issued in January 2001. The Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.


10.Stock Option Plan

   The Company has adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan and reserved 2,700,000
shares of common stock for issuance under the plan. The Company has also
adopted the 2001 Incentive Plan, which provides for the issuance of up to
2,700,000 shares of common stock. At December 31, 2001, the Company has
reserved 900,000 shares for issuance under the plan. In March 2002, the Company
increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan to
1,350,000.


   Both plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options ("ISOs") as well
as nonqualified stock options to employees, directors and other individuals
providing services to the Company. The 2001 Incentive Plan also provides for
the issuance of other stock and non-stock incentives. The Board of Directors
determines the term of each award, exercise price, number of shares for which
each award is granted, whether restrictions will be imposed on the shares
subject to awards and the vesting period over which each award is exercisable.
The exercise price for ISOs cannot be less than the fair market value per share
of the underlying common stock on the date granted. The term of ISOs cannot
exceed ten years. The awards typically vest over three to five years.


   A summary of the status of options granted to employees and directors under
the Company's stock option plans as of December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001 and

   The Company granted some options to employees of the Company at a price it
subsequently deemed to be less than fair market value. Under APB 25, the
Company recorded stock-based compensation expense associated with employee
stock option grants of $13,000, $73,000 and $128,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively.


   During 1997, the Company granted an option to purchase 45,000 shares of
common stock to a non-employee. Under EITF 96-18, the Company recorded
compensation expense of $27,000, $186,000, and $27,000 for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001. The option became fully vested in
September 2001.


   During 2001, in connection with severance arrangements, the Company modified
three existing stock option agreements. In accordance with FIN 44, the
modifications resulted in new measurement dates for each stock option grant.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense of $1.5 million related to the three modified existing
stock option agreements.


   If compensation costs for the Company's stock-based compensation plan had
been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates as calculated in
accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per common share
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 would have increased to
the pro forma amounts shown below:

which must be substantiated in accordance with government record-keeping
requirements and are subject to government review and audit. Government grant
recipients are also required to submit various reports and certifications. As a
result of a recent internal compliance review, the Company determined that it
had some deficiencies in grant administration that do not affect the scientific
integrity of the grants, including expense reimbursements that do not satisfy
government requirements and overdue reports. The Company has disclosed these
deficiencies to the government and expects to make repayment to the government
when the amounts are finalized and to file overdue reports when they are
completed.


   Also, based on the Company's internal compliance review, management has
determined that grant revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and
the three months ended March 31, 2001 were overstated and net loss was
understated as follows:





                          Year ended December 31, 2000  Three months ended March 31, 2001
                          ----------------------------- ---------------------------------------

   Grant recipients are subject to government review and audit which may result
in refunds or penalties such as restrictions or prohibitions on eligibility for
future grants. The Company does not believe that its deficiencies in grant
administration will have any material adverse effect on it or its financial
position. The Company does not intend to conduct further research under
existing government grants or to seek future government grants.

at least $3,000 in gross salary. Each participant could contribute up to a

The Company matches 100% of the employee contributions up to 5% of each

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

   Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").

   As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate of
incorporation of the Registrant provides that its directors shall not be liable
to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that the exculpation from
liabilities is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law as in
effect at the time the liability is determined. As permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the certificate of incorporation of the Registrant
also provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors to the full
extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.

   The Registrant has obtained policies of insurance under which coverage is
provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims
made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts, including
claims relating to public securities matters and (b) to the Registrant with
respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to these officers and
directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a
matter of law.

   The Underwriting Agreement provides for the indemnification of officers and
directors of the Registrant by the Underwriters against some types of
liability.

   In addition, the Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement
with each of its directors which requires the Registrant to indemnify the
director in certain circumstances and provides procedures that govern the
indemnification.

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

   We have sold and issued the following unregistered securities in the past
three years:

   On June 9, 1999, we issued to one investor an option to purchase 50,000
shares of a series of our preferred stock which we have since eliminated in
connection with a licensing and development

                                      II-1


agreement. This option was never exercised and has since been terminated.



   On August 8, 2000, we issued 641,642 shares of Series A convertible
preferred stock to 45 investors for aggregate consideration of $34,482,000.


   On August 8, 2000, we issued warrants to purchase 336,618 shares of our
common stock at a purchase price of $5.97 per share to the placement agent for
our Series A convertible preferred stock financing in exchange for services.


   On November 3, 2000, we granted to three consultants the right to receive an
aggregate of 280,800 shares of common stock on January 2, 2001, in exchange for
services rendered. These shares were issued on January 2, 2001.


   On April 2, 2002, we issued 164,826 shares of our common stock upon a
cashless exercise of the warrant described above.


   Since January 1, 1999, we have granted options to purchase an aggregate of
3,164,175 shares of common stock to a number of our employees, directors and
consultants. We have not received consideration from any grantee of any of our
options. Since January 1, 1999, options to purchase 377,865 shares have been
exercised for aggregate consideration of $289,000.



   We intended that the above issuances of our securities be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
In addition, we intended that the issuances of options to purchase our common
stock be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon
Rule 701 and/or Section 4(2) promulgated under the Securities Act. The
recipients of securities in each transaction described above represented to us
their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a
view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution. We affixed
appropriate legends to the share certificates, warrants and options issued in
the transactions described above. We believe that all recipients had adequate
access, through their relationships with us, to information about us.

Item 17. Undertakings.

   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above, 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 Securities 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 its 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 Securities 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,
  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 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, 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 the offering of such securities at that time shall be
  deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                   SIGNATURES

has duly caused this Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of
Watertown, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on the 31st of May, 2002.
