(7) Net Loss Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
-----------------------------------------------
Loss per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of
common shares and, as appropriate, dilutive potential common shares
outstanding during the period. Stock options and warrants are considered
to be potential common shares.
Basic loss per common share is the amount of loss for the period available
to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.
Diluted earnings per share is the amount of loss for the period available
to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period and
to each share that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of
common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during
the period.
In calculating loss per common and common-equivalent share the net loss and
the weighted average common and common-equivalent shares outstanding were
the same for both the basic and diluted calculation.
As of December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, there were antidilutive
potential common shares of 1,753,484 and 2,017,645, respectively.
Accordingly, these potential common shares were not included in the
computation of diluted loss per share for the years presented, but may be
dilutive to future basic and diluted earnings per share.
(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
On December 3, 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101). SAB 101
summarizes certain of the staff's views in applying generally accepted
accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The
Company will incorporate the guidance of SAB 101 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001. Management has not yet determined the impact that SAB 101
will have on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to
maintaining its research and development programs, supporting collaborative
research agreements, operating a molecular diagnostic laboratory, and more
recently establishing genomic sequencing, high throughput screening, and drug
development facilities. The Company's revenues have been primarily payments
received pursuant to collaborative research agreements, upfront fees, milestone
payments, and sales of molecular diagnostics. The Company has been unprofitable
since its inception and, for the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company
had a net loss of $1,877,150 and as of December 31, 1999 had an accumulated
deficit of $48,008,122.
In April 1995, the Company commenced a five-year collaborative research and
development arrangement with Novartis Corporation ("Novartis"). This
collaboration may provide the Company with an equity investment, research
funding and potential milestone payments of up to $60,000,000. The Company is
entitled to receive royalties from sales of therapeutic products sold by
Novartis.
In September 1995, the Company commenced a five-year collaborative research and
development arrangement with Bayer Corporation ("Bayer"). This collaboration
may provide the Company with an equity investment, research funding and
potential milestone payments of up to $71,000,000. In November 1997 and again
in December 1998, the Company announced expansions of its collaborative research
and development arrangement with Bayer. The expanded collaboration may provide
the Company with additional research funding and potential milestone payments of
up to $137,000,000. The Company is entitled to receive royalties from sales of
therapeutic products sold by Bayer.
In October 1996, the Company announced the introduction of BRACAnalysis, a
comprehensive BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene sequence analysis for susceptibility to
breast and ovarian cancer. In January 1998, the Company announced the
introduction of CardiaRisk, which may assist physicians both in (i) identifying
which hypertensive patients are at a significantly increased risk of developing
cardiovascular disease and (ii) identifying which patients are likely to respond
to low salt diet therapy and antihypertensive drug therapy. The Company,
through its wholly owned subsidiary Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc.,
recognized molecular diagnostic revenues, primarily from BRACAnalysis, of
$2,023,871 for the quarter ended December 31, 1999.
In April 1997, the Company commenced a three-year collaborative research and
development arrangement with Schering Corporation ("Schering-Plough"). This
collaboration may provide the Company with an equity investment, license fees,
research funding and potential milestone payments of up to $60,000,000. The
Company is entitled to receive royalties from sales of therapeutic products sold
by Schering-Plough.
In October 1998, the Company entered into a five-year collaboration with
Schering AG, Germany ("Schering AG"), to utilize the Company's protein
interaction technology ("ProNet) for drug discovery and development. Under the
agreement, the Company will have an option to co-promote all new therapeutic
products in North America and receive 50 percent of the profits from North
American sales of all new drugs discovered with ProNet. This collaboration may
provide the Company with licensing fees, subscription fees, option payments and
milestone fees with a value of up to $51,000,000. If the Company chooses to co-
promote a drug developed by Schering AG as a 50 percent partner, the Company may
be required to pay funds to Schering AG to establish equal ownership.
In November 1998, the Company entered into a 15 month collaboration with
Monsanto Company ("Monsanto"), to utilize ProNet for drug discovery and
development. In December 1999, Monsanto exercised its option to extend the
research term for an additional twelve months and exercised its option to expand
the research funding. This collaboration may provide the Company with research
funding, option payments, license fees and potential milestone payments of up to
$28,000,000. The Company is entitled to receive royalties from sales of
therapeutic products sold by Monsanto.
9
In July 1999, the Company entered into a two-year collaboration and license
agreement with the Novartis Agricultural Discovery Institute, Inc. ("NADII").
The genomic collaboration will focus on the discovery of the genetic structure
of cereal crops. The collaboration may provide the Company with an upfront
payment and research funding of up to $33,500,000. Upon completion, NADII and
the Company intend to jointly offer commercial access to the genomic databases
and share equally in any resulting proceeds.
In October 1999, the Company announced the expansion of its collaboration with
Schering AG to include research in the field of cardiovascular disease. The
Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and a Standstill
Agreement with Schering Berlin Venture Corporation ("Schering Berlin") to sell
to Schering Berlin 303,030 Shares. Schering Berlin acquired the Shares for an
aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000.
In December 1999, the Company entered into a 12 month collaboration with
Hoffmann-LaRoche Inc. ("Roche"), to utilize ProNet for drug discovery and
development in the area of cardiovascular disease. This collaboration may
provide the Company with research funding, licensing fees, and milestone
payments with a value of up to $13,000,000. The Company is entitled to receive
royalties from sales of therapeutic products sold by Roche.
The Company intends to enter into additional collaborative relationships to
locate and sequence genes and discover protein networks associated with other
common diseases as well as to continue to fund internal research projects. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into additional
collaborative relationships on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company
expects to incur losses for at least the next several years, primarily due to
expansion of its research and development programs, expansion of its drug
discovery efforts, increased staffing costs and expansion of its facilities.
Additionally, the Company expects to incur substantial sales, marketing and
other expenses in connection with building its molecular diagnostic business.
The Company expects that losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that
such fluctuations may be substantial.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
Research revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 were $6,255,872 as
compared to $4,536,512 for the same quarter of 1998. The increase in research
revenue is primarily attributable to revenue recognized from the NADII
collaboration which began in July 1999. Research revenue from the research
collaboration agreements is recognized as related costs are incurred.
Consequently, as these programs progress and costs increase or decrease,
revenues increase or decrease proportionately.
Molecular diagnostic revenues of $2,023,871 were recognized in the quarter ended
December 31, 1999, an increase of 67% or $812,912 over the same quarter of the
prior year. Molecular diagnostic revenue is comprised of sales of molecular
diagnostic tests. The Company's sales and marketing efforts since that time
have given rise to the increased revenues for the quarter ended December 1999.
There can be no assurance, however, that molecular diagnostic revenues will
continue to increase at the historical rate.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 were
$6,205,468 as compared to $5,681,806 for the same quarter of 1998. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in research activities as a result of
the Company's recent collaboration with NADII. The increased level of research
spending also includes the ongoing drug discovery efforts of Myriad
Pharmaceuticals, a wholly-owned subsidiary, continuing development and
utilization of ProNet, and third-party sponsored research programs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31,
1999 were $3,353,944 as compared to $2,760,301 for the same quarter of 1998.
The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with expansion of
the Company's sales force and start-up expenses for the sales staff including
recruiting, training, and sales supplies. The Company has also incurred
increased expenses for its ongoing promotion of its molecular diagnostic
business and the filing of patent applications both domestically and abroad.
The Company expects its selling, general and administrative expenses will
continue to fluctuate as needed in support of its molecular diagnostic business
and its research and drug development efforts.
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities were $60,042,507 at
December 31, 1999 as compared to $47,410,710 at December 31, 1998. This
increase in cash and investments is primarily attributable to the private
10
sale of approximately $10,000,000 worth of the Company's Common Stock, as well
as the receipt of advance payments from the Company's collaborators. These cash
receipts were offset by expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of
business. As a result of the Company's increased cash position, the Company's
interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was $736,664 as compared
to $579,471 for the same quarter of 1998. Interest expense for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998, amounting to $3,908, was due entirely to borrowings under the
Company's equipment financing facility. The loss on sale of assets of $344,989
in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 is the result of the Company retiring an
unproductive asset.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
Research revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1999 were $11,503,517 as
compared to $9,183,028 for the same period of 1998. The increase in research
revenue is primarily attributable to revenue recognized from the NADII
collaboration which began in July 1999. Research revenue from the research
collaboration agreements is recognized as related costs are incurred.
Consequently, as these programs progress and costs increase or decrease,
revenues increase or decrease proportionately.
Molecular diagnostic revenues of $3,638,157 were recognized in the six months
ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $1,513,728 over the same six month
period of 1998. Molecular diagnostic revenue is comprised of sales of
diagnostic tests. The Company's sales and marketing efforts have given rise to
the increased revenues for the six months ended December 1999. There can be no
assurance, however that molecular diagnostic revenues will continue to increase
at the historical rate.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1999
were $11,992,270 as compared to $11,499,295 for the prior year. This increase
was primarily due to an increase in research activities as a result of the
Company's recent collaboration with NADII. The increased level of research
spending also includes the ongoing drug discovery efforts of Myriad
Pharmaceuticals, a wholly-owned subsidiary, continuing development and
utilization of ProNet, and third-party sponsored research programs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December
31, 1999 were $6,375,930 as compared to $5,315,717 for the prior year. The
increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with expansion of the
Company's sales force and start-up expenses for the sales staff including
recruiting, training, and sales supplies. The Company has also incurred
increased expenses for its ongoing promotion of its molecular diagnostic
business and the filing of patent applications both domestically and abroad.
During the six months ended December 31, 1999, the Company also wrote off an
intangible asset resulting in a one-time expense of $344,531. The Company
expects its selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to
fluctuate as needed in support of its molecular diagnostic business and its
research and drug development efforts.
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities were $60,042,507 at
December 31, 1999 as compared to $47,410,710 at December 31, 1998. This
increase in cash and investments is primarily attributable to the private sale
of approximately $10,000,000 of Company Common Stock, as well as advance
payments received by the company from its collaborators. These cash receipts
were offset by expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business. As a
result of the Company's increased cash position, the Company's interest income
for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $1,310,453 as compared to
$1,275,690 for the six month period ended December 31, 1998. Interest expense
for the six months ended December 31, 1998, amounting to $6,279, was due
entirely to borrowings under the Company's equipment financing facility. The
loss on disposition of assets of $360,082 in the six months ended December 31,
1999 is primarily the result of the Company retiring an unproductive asset.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $11,493,157 during the six months
ended December 31, 1999 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of
$7,570,474 during the same six months of 1998. Trade receivables for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 increased by $510,936, from $1,396,389 to
$1,907,325. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in molecular
diagnostic revenue for the six month period ended December 31, 1999. Other
receivables decreased $1,742,247, from $1,855,696 to $113,449, for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 primarily as a result of the receipt of
collaborative partner payments for research work
11
performed in prior periods. Prepaid expenses decreased by $289,080 during the
six months ended December 31, 1999. The decrease is primarily due to advance
royalties and insurance premiums being expensed during the six month period.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $1,071,170 between June 30,
1999 and December 31, 1999 primarily as a result of a large order of laboratory
supplies which was received by the Company in December 1999 but not paid for
until after December 31, 1999. Deferred revenue, representing the difference in
collaborative payments received and research revenue recognized, increased by
$11,966,662, from $662,760 to $12,629,422, during the six months ended December
31, 1999 in large part due to an upfront payment by NADII.
The Company's investing activities used cash in the amount of $440,792 in the
six months ended December 31, 1999. Investing activities were comprised
primarily of capital expenditures for research equipment, office furniture, and
facility improvements and marketable investment securities. During the six
month period ended December 31, 1999, the Company shifted a portion of its
investment in marketable securities from longer term investments to cash and
cash equivalents in order to take advantage of more favorable interest rates.
Financing activities provided $11,222,686 during the six months ended December
31, 1999. Proceeds were recognized from two separate financings during the
period. In September 1999, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement
pursuant to which the Company sold 355,000 shares of the Company's unregistered
Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares") for a purchase price of
$4,987,750. The Company has no obligation to register the Shares with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In conjunction with the Subscription
Agreement, the Company issued a 3-year warrant to purchase an additional 17,750
Shares at a premium of 10%. In October 1999, the Company entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement and a Standstill Agreement with Schering Berlin to
sell to Schering Berlin 303,030 Shares. Schering Berlin agreed to acquire the
Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. Additional cash was
provided from the exercise of stock options during the six months ended December
31, 1999.
The Company anticipates that its existing capital resources will be adequate to
maintain its current and planned operations for at least the next two years,
although no assurance can be given that changes will not occur that would
consume available capital resources before such time. The Company's future
capital requirements will be substantial and will depend on many factors,
including progress of the Company's research and development programs and drug
discovery and drug development programs; the cost of developing and launching
additional molecular diagnostic tests; results and costs of clinical correlation
testing of the Company's molecular diagnostic tests; the costs of filing,
prosecuting and enforcing patent claims; competing technological and market
developments; payments received under collaborative agreements and changes in
collaborative research relationships; the costs associated with potential
commercialization of its gene discoveries, if any, including the development of
manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities; the cost and availability of
third-party financing for capital expenditures and administrative and legal
expenses. Because of the Company's significant long-term capital requirements,
the Company intends to raise funds when conditions are favorable, even if it
does not have an immediate need for additional capital at such time.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 Issue arose because many computer programs use a two-digit format,
as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Any of the Company's computer
programs or other information systems that have time-sensitive software or
embedded microcontrollers may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations.
State of Readiness
The Company completed its Year 2000 readiness testing in the quarter ended
December 31, 1999. Testing was performed on all of the Company's critical
systems and any necessary modifications have taken place. Where possible,
third-party certification of Year 2000 readiness was obtained on systems
purchased by the Company. Third-party systems which were not certified by the
supplier were tested internally or upgraded to compliant versions. The Company
has received assurances from its significant suppliers and customers that they
are Year 2000 ready. The Company has not experienced any significant Year 2000
problems, either before or after December 31, 1999.
12
Risks of the Year 2000 Issue
The Company is not aware of any Year 2000 compliance problems relating to its
information technology or non-information technology systems that would have a
material adverse effect on its business. If critical systems fail due to a lack
of Year 2000 readiness, or if any of the Company's suppliers or customers do not
successfully deal with the Year 2000 Issue, the Year 2000 Issue could have a
material impact on the operations of the Company. The Company could experience
delays in receiving or sending its molecular diagnostic products that would
increase its costs and that could cause the Company to lose business and even
customers and could subject the Company to claims for damages. Problems with
the Year 2000 Issue could also result in delays in the Company invoicing its
molecular diagnostic customers or in the Company receiving payments from them.
In addition, the Company's research and development efforts which rely heavily
on the storage and retrieval of electronic information could be interrupted
resulting in significant delays in discovering genes, the loss of current
collaborations, and the impairment of the Company's ability to enter into new
collaborations. The severity of these possible problems would depend on the
nature of the problem and how quickly it could be corrected or an alternative
implemented, which is unknown at this time. In the extreme, such problems could
bring the Company to a standstill.
Contingency Plan
As discussed above, the Company has conducted a Year 2000 assessment and has not
found it necessary to implement any contingency plans. Contingency plans will
be implemented if it appears that the Company or any of its vendors will not be
Year 2000 compliant and such noncompliance is expected to have a material
adverse impact on the Company's operations. The cost of developing and
implementing such plans may itself be material.
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations
The Company believes that this report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-
looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management's current
expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which
could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements. The Company cautions investors that there can be no
assurance that actual results or business conditions will not differ materially
from those projected or suggested in such forward-looking statements as a result
of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the timely
implementation by the Company of its plan to prepare its computer systems for
the Year 2000, the costs to the Company of such preparation, and the timely
conversion by other parties on which the Company's business relies; intense
competition related to the discovery of disease-related genes and the
possibility that others may discover, and the Company may not be able to gain
rights with respect to, genes important to the establishment of a successful
molecular diagnostic business; difficulties inherent in developing genetic tests
once genes have been discovered; the Company's limited experience in operating a
molecular diagnostic laboratory; the Company's limited marketing and sales
experience and the risk that tests which the Company has or may develop may not
be able to be marketed at acceptable prices or receive commercial acceptance in
the markets that the Company is targeting or expects to target; uncertainty as
to whether there will exist adequate reimbursement for the Company's services
from government, private health care insurers and third-party payors;
uncertainties as to the extent of future government regulation of the Company's
business; uncertainties as to whether the Company and its collaborators will be
successful in developing and obtaining regulatory approval for, and commercial
acceptance of, therapeutics based on the discovery of disease-related genes and
proteins; uncertainties as to the Company's ability to develop therapeutic lead
compounds, which is a new business area for the Company; and the risk that
markets will not exist for therapeutic lead compounds that the Company develops
or if such markets exist, that the Company will not be able to sell compounds
which it develops at acceptable prices. As a result, the Company's future
development efforts involve a high degree of risk. For further information,
refer to the more specific risks and uncertainties disclosed throughout this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
