ALLERGAN LIGAND RETINOID THERAPEUTICS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
BUSINESS
Allergan Ligand Retinoid Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in
Delaware in 1994 and commenced operations on June 3, 1995 to continue the
efforts of the Allergan Ligand Joint Venture (Joint Venture), established by
Allergan, Inc. (Allergan) and Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Ligand) in
June 1992, to discover, develop and commercialize drugs based on retinoids (the
Products).
On June 3, 1995, the Company and Ligand completed a public offering (the
Offering) of 3.25 million units, each unit consisting of one share of the
Company's callable common stock and two warrants, each to purchase one share of
Ligand common stock. The Offering raised net proceeds for the Company of $26.8
million. At the completion of the Offering, Ligand contributed $17.5 million in
cash, as well as warrants in exchange for (i) a right to acquire all of the
Callable Common Stock at specified future dates and amounts and (ii) a right to
acquire all rights to the Panretin (ALRT1057) products, jointly with Allergan,
currently under development by the Company. At the same time, Allergan
contributed $50.0 million in cash to the Company in exchange for (i) the right
to acquire one-half of all technologies and other assets in the event Ligand
exercises its right to acquire all of the Callable Common Stock, (ii) a similar
right to acquire all of the Callable Common Stock if Ligand does not exercise
its right and (iii) a right to acquire all rights to the Panretin (ALRT1057)
products, jointly with Ligand.
ALRT's Board of Directors recently approved a research and development plan for
the year ending December 31, 1997 which represents an acceleration in spending
on ALRT's retinoid programs. The accelerated spending is the result of more
rapid discovery and development of a significantly larger library of viable
retinoid compounds than anticipated at the time of formation of ALRT. ALRT
anticipates the acceleration in spending could result in the use of
substantially all of the funds available for research and development remaining
in ALRT in late 1997 or early 1998. Ligand and Allergan have certain purchase
options over the Callable Common Stock and the assets of ALRT which could be
triggered by the use of substantially all of ALRT's funds. There can be no
assurance that Ligand or Allergan will exercise these options.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS RISK
The Company conducts research and development for the purpose of identifying and
developing retinoid drugs for therapeutic uses and is subject to intense
competition and technological changes in the biotechnology industry. The Company
is also dependent upon Allergan and Ligand who are primarily responsible for
research, development, marketing and manufacturing on behalf of the Company.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consists of demand deposits and bank certificates of
deposit carried at cost which approximates fair value.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities consist of United States Treasury Bills and debt
instruments of financial institutions and corporations with strong credit
ratings. The Company determines the fair value of marketable securities based
upon quoted market values. At December 31, 1996, the fair value of marketable
securities was $169,753 less than cost. Such reduction in value was recorded as
a charge in stockholders' equity as the marketable securities are available for
sale.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
The Company invests its excess cash in certificates of deposit and marketable
securities. The Company has established guidelines with respect to
diversification and maturities designed to maintain safety and liquidity.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
The Company contracts with Allergan and Ligand to conduct research, development
and initial clinical testing. The costs of such work are expensed as incurred.
INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates.

Allergan may purchase all, but not less than all, of the Callable Common Stock
outstanding at specified prices, subject to adjustment. The option becomes
exercisable on the earlier of (i) June 3, 1997 or (ii) the quarter in which the
Company's available funds, as defined, decline below $10 million and expires on
the earlier of (a) June 3, 2000 or (b) 90 days subsequent to such a decline in
cash. The option is not exercisable prior to June 3, 1998 unless the available

dividends, issue additional shares of capital stock, borrow money in excess of
$1 million, merge, liquidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets.
WARRANTS
Each unit sold by the Company in its initial public offering includes two
warrants, each warrant giving the holder the right to purchase one share of

at any time from June 3, 1997 through June 2, 2000, subject to certain
acceleration provisions including the exercise or expiration of the Stock
Purchase Option. The warrants will trade with the Company's Callable Common
Stock as units until they become exerciseable on June 3, 1997. After such date,
the warrants will separate from the Company's common stock and become
independently tradable.
