NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION CIMA LABS INC. is a Delaware corporation that develops and manufactures fast-dissolve and enhanced-absorption oral drug delivery systems. OraSolv and DuraSolv, our leading proprietary fast-dissolve technologies, are oral dosage forms incorporating taste-masked active drug ingredients into tablets, which dissolve quickly in the mouth without chewing or water. We develop applications for our technologies that are licensed to pharmaceutical company partners. We currently manufacture and package five commercial products incorporating our proprietary fast-dissolve technologies. Revenues are generated from the sale of products we manufacture, license agreements, product development fees and royalties. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. For further information, you should refer to the audited financial statements and accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. 2. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts we report in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We invest our cash and cash equivalents in money market funds, investment grade commercial paper and United States government agency securities, including discount notes and U.S Treasury obligations. Our short-term investments consist of investment grade commercial paper and United States government agency securities, including discount notes and U.S Treasury obligations, with maturities ranging from three to six months. We classify our short-term investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in the shareholders' equity. Fair values of investments are based on quoted market prices, 6 7 where available, and accrued interest, if applicable. No realized gains and losses have been recorded to date. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. 4. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are summarized in the following table: Three Months Ended March 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 ------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- Net Income Per Share Net Income Per Share (Loss) Shares Amount (Loss) Shares Amount ------------ ------------ ----------- -------------- ------------- ----------- Basic $ 7,937 9,898,551 $.00 $ (815,402) 9,610,394 $ (.08) Effect of dilutive stock options - 1,147,935 - - - - ------------ ----------- ---------- ------------- ------------ ----------- Diluted $ 7,937 11,046,486 $.00 $ (815,402) 9,610,394 $ (.08) ------------ ----------- ---------- ------------- ------------ ----------- 5.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON STOCK On March 17, 2000, we issued 1.1 million shares of Common Stock through a private placement. We received approximately $19.4 million in net cash proceeds and expect to use the funds for capital additions to our manufacturing facility and for working capital. We have invested the net proceeds in interest-bearing money market accounts, pending such uses. 7. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, or SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 requires that license and other up-front fees received from research collaborators be recognized over the term of the agreement unless the fee is in exchange for products delivered or services performed that represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. We currently expect to implement SAB 101 in the second quarter of 2000 and, if material to the first quarter, restate the first quarter at that time. We estimate that the cumulative effect of the accounting change will be in the range of $1.0 to $2.0 million. Had we implemented this accounting change in our first quarter of 2000, we would have reported a net loss in the range of $(1.0) to $(2.0) million. In addition, we estimate that most of the cumulative effect of the accounting change, which relates primarily to transactions occurring prior to 2000, will be amortized into revenue during 2000. However, the impact of this change in revenue recognition policy is 7 8 complex and will depend on, among other things, the economic terms of existing and future license agreements, the length of time over which the development activities occur, and the technical requirements the SEC may make public in any future accounting bulletins or implementation guides. 8. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform with the presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2000. These reclassifications have no impact on the net loss or shareholders' equity as previously reported. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations CAUTIONARY STATEMENT This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are not descriptions of historical facts and contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or our future performance. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date this report was filed. Forward-looking statements are not descriptions of historical facts. The words or phrases "will likely result," "look for," "may result," "will continue," "is anticipated," "expect," "project," or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, including those identified in the "Risk Factors" filed as Exhibit 99 to this Form 10-Q, and in our other filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to update or publicly announce revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments. GENERAL We develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products based on our proprietary OraSolv and DuraSolv technologies. We have agreements with several pharmaceutical companies regarding a variety of potential products, with an emphasis on prescription products. We currently manufacture five commercial products using our fast-dissolve technologies. These products include Triaminic for Novartis, Tempra for Bristol- Meyers Squibb and Zomig for AstraZeneca. We operate within a single segment: pharmaceutical product development. Our revenues are comprised of three components: net sales of products utilizing our proprietary fast-dissolve technologies; product development fees and licensing revenues for development activities we conduct through collaborative agreements with pharmaceutical companies; and royalties on the sales of products we manufacture, which are sold by pharmaceutical companies under licenses from us. In 8 9 addition, we are currently developing other drug delivery technologies. Revenues from product sales and from royalties will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from year to year depending on, among other factors, demand for our products by patients, new product introductions, the seasonal nature of some of our products and pharmaceutical company ordering patterns. Our ability to generate product sales and royalty revenues in excess of our current forecast for 2000 and 2001 may be constrained by our manufacturing capacity. We expect our second production line, now being developed, to be operational in the second half of 2001. Revenues from product development fees and licensing revenue will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from year to year depending on, among other factors, the number of new collaborative agreements that we enter into; the number of product development milestones we achieve under collaborative agreements, including making submissions to, and obtaining approvals from, the FDA for products in development; and the level of our development activity conducted for pharmaceutical companies under collaborative agreements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES. Our total revenues were $5.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The increase of $3.4 million in revenues was primarily due to higher sales volume of commercial products. All three components of revenues increased for the quarter in comparison to the same period in 1999. Revenues from net sales of products using our drug delivery technologies totaled $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to less than $0.1 million in the first quarter of 1999. The increase of over $2.7 million was primarily due to increased shipments of Triaminic to Novartis. We expect product sales for all of 2000 to be higher than full year 1999 because we have firm purchase order commitments for unit volume in excess of full year 1999 quantities. Although we expect additional growth in product sales in the last half of 2000, this growth will depend on pending FDA regulatory approvals for two new prescription products, FDA approval of our manufacturing compliance for prescription pharmaceuticals and the receipt of firm purchase order commitments for these new products. Revenues from product development fees and licensing were $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1.6 million for the comparable period in 1999. Licensing revenues for the quarter included payments attributable to a January 2000 agreement with American Home Products. Although we expect product development activities for the year 2000 to be comparable to 1999, a significant portion of the product development fees and licensing revenues associated with these activities will be subject to deferral due to SAB 101, the SEC accounting bulletin discussed earlier, which we expect to adopt in the second quarter. In addition, product development fees and licensing revenues in subsequent quarters will depend on our success in signing new license and 9 10 development agreements with pharmaceutical companies and on expected FDA regulatory approvals for two new pharmaceutical products late in 2000. Revenues from royalties totaled $0.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $0.1 million in the corresponding period of 1999. The increase of $0.6 million resulted primarily from increased sales of Triaminic by Novartis in the U.S., which was introduced in the second quarter of 1999, and sales of Zomig by AstraZeneca, which was introduced in several countries in Europe during the third quarter of 1999. We expect royalties for the year 2000 to be higher than 1999 due to expected increases in product shipments of Triaminic, which will be sold primarily to patients in the U.S., and Zomig, which will be sold primarily to patients in Europe. OPERATING EXPENSES AND GROSS MARGIN. Cost of sales totaled $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $0.9 million in the corresponding period of 1999. The increase of $2.3 million was primarily due to higher Triaminic unit volumes being manufactured and shipped to Novartis and due to costs incurred to gear up for multi-shift production capabilities. In subsequent quarters, we expect cost of sales to increase as a result of expected unit volume increases. Gross margins on product sales were negative in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and in the comparable period of 1999. To date, cost of sales have resulted in negative gross profit margins because we are operating at below manufacturing capacity, we have incurred additional costs to gear up for multi-shift production capabilities, and a product mix that has been weighted towards lower margin products. In subsequent quarters, we expect improved gross margins because manufacturing efficiencies should improve at higher unit volumes and with a more favorable mix of higher margin products. However, future gross margins will depend primarily, among other things, on the pricing of our products, our ability to effectively use our manufacturing and plant capacity, and changes in our product lines and mix of products. Research and product development expenses were $1.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. These expenses were consistent, as the level of product development activities between the periods was comparable. In subsequent quarters, we expect these expenses to increase. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $0.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The increase of $0.2 million from 1999 was primarily due to marketing and related consulting costs associated with our business development efforts. We expect these expenses to increase in 2000. OTHER INCOME. Other income was not significant for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 nor was it significant for the comparable period in 1999. Other income consists primarily of interest income on invested funds, net of interest expense on bank lines, loan agreements and 10 11 capitalized leases. In subsequent quarters, we expect interest income to increase from the investment of the proceeds of our March 2000 private placement. NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income of $8,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compares to a net loss of $(0.8) million for the corresponding period in 1999. The net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was due to an increase in total revenues of 189%, associated with an increase of total operating expenses of only 96% in 2000 compared to 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have financed our operations to date primarily through private and public sales of equity securities and revenues from product sales, product development fees and licensing revenue and royalties. Net working capital increased from $4.2 million at March 31, 1999 to $22.5 million at March 31, 2000. The increase of $18.3 million is primarily due to the positive effect of a $3.5 million loan we received from a pharmaceutical company partner and from $19.4 million we received from the private placement sale of 1.1 million shares of common stock, which were partially offset by approximately $5.1 million in expenditures for capital improvements to our manufacturing facility. We invest excess cash in interest-bearing money market accounts and investment grade securities. In December 1999, we received a $3.5 million unsecured loan from one of our pharmaceutical company partners. We may repay this loan at any time, but if the loan is not repaid by the time we are due royalties under a license agreement with an affiliate of the lender, the affiliate may offset up to half of the royalties otherwise due to us and the lender will treat the amount offset by its affiliate as a payment by us on this loan. Interest is payable on the outstanding balance of the loan at LIBOR plus one half of one percent. Interest accrues quarterly and is added to the then outstanding principal balance of the loan. In March 2000, we issued 1.1 million shares of common stock through a private placement. We received approximately $19.4 million in net cash proceeds and expect to use the funds for capital additions to our manufacturing facility and for working capital. We currently expect to spend approximately $10.0 to $12.0 million during 2000 and 2001 to complete various manufacturing facility improvements, including construction of a coating unit and a second production line. We believe our cash and cash equivalents, together with expected revenues from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may elect to pursue additional financing at any time to more aggressively pursue development of new drug delivery technologies and expand manufacturing capacity beyond that currently planned. In addition, other factors that will affect future capital requirements and may 11 12 require us to seek additional financing, include the level of expenditures necessary to develop new products or technologies, the progress of our research and product development programs, the need to construct a larger than currently anticipated manufacturing facility or to construct a new manufacturing facility at an alternative site to meet demand for our products, results of our collaborative efforts with current and potential pharmaceutical company partners, and the timing of and amounts received from future product sales, product development fees and licensing revenue and royalties. We cannot be sure that additional financing will be available to us or, if available, will be on acceptable terms. Item 3.
