Part 1 - Financial Information
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Results of Operations
Nine month period ended September 30, 1999 vs.
Nine month period ended September 30,1998
Total Revenues. The Company's total revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 increased significantly to approximately $16.8 million from
$1.1 million in the same period of 1998. 1999 revenue for the period consisted
of product sales of THALOMID, $15.1 million, and research contract revenue of
$1.7 million . The increase in revenue in 1999 was primarily due to a full nine
months of sales of THALOMID compared with sales from the initial launch of
THALOMID late in the third quarter of 1998, a milestone payment from an existing
d-methylphenidate research agreement, and several research agreements with
Celgro.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold during the first nine months of
1999 was approximately $2.1 million compared with approximately $59,000 in 1998
and relates to sales of THALOMID , the Company's first commercial pharmaceutical
product. The cost of goods sold is lower than anticipated as raw material,
formulation and encapsulation costs of the product were charged as research and
development expense prior to FDA approval.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses
increased 3 percent, to $14.4 million in 1999 from $14.0 million in the same
period in 1998. The increase in spending was due to clinical trial costs
primarily for Attenade (d-methylphenidate), approximately $3.1 million, offset
by a decrease in regulatory consulting fees, approximately $600,000, Quality
Assurance, which is recorded in Cost of Goods in 1999, approximately $633,000,
external University research programs, approximately $362,000, formulation and
encapsulation expenses for THALOMID, approximately $1.0 million, incurred in
1998 prior to the FDA approval to market THALOMID in July of 1998, and other
expenses of approximately $500,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased
by 59% to approximately $17.8 million from $11.2 million in the same period of
1998. The increase was due primarily to the expansion of a sales and marketing
organization and related expenses of approximately $2.4 million and warehousing
and distribution expenses, including the S.T.E.P.S program, of $2.9 million,
both to support the commercial sales of THALOMID. Other cost increases were
incurred for the Medical Affairs and Drug Safety department, approximately
$600,000, amortization of expenses related to the convertible notes,
approximately $500,000, and other miscellaneous expenses, $200,000.
12
Interest income and expense. Interest income for the first nine months
of 1999 increased 3% to approximately $512,000 from $497,000 in the same period
of 1998. The increase was due to higher average cash balances in 1999, primarily
from the convertible note issued in July. Interest expense increased
significantly to approximately $1.9 million from $45,000 in 1998. The increase
in expense was due to the placement of three convertible notes with coupon rates
of 9.25%, 9.0% and 9.0% in September of 1998, January of 1999, and July of 1999,
respectively.
Net loss from continuing operations. The net loss from continuing
operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 decreased by 20%
to $18.9 million from $23.6 million in the same period of 1998. The decrease was
due primarily to the gross profit on the sales of THALOMID and increased
research contract revenue offset by increased research and development and sales
and marketing expenses as described above.
Discontinued operations. Discontinued operations in 1998 reflects the
one time gain on the sale of the chiral intermediate assets of $7.0 million. The
$60,000 loss in 1998 represents expenses for the nine day period preceding the
sale. There were no discontinued operations in 1999.
Three month period ended September 30, 1999 vs.
Three month period ended September 30, 1998
Total Revenues. Revenues for the three month period ended September
30, 1999 were $6.7 million compared with revenues of $1.1 million for the same
period in 1998. 1999 third quarter revenues consisted of THALOMID sales of $6.3
million and research contract revenue of $425,000. Third quarter revenues in
1998 consisted of $1.0 million of THALOMID sales and $25,000 of research
contract revenue.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of Goods Sold, related to the sales of
THALOMID, were approximately $702,000 during the third quarter 1999 compared
with $59,000 in the comparable period in 1998. The cost of goods sold is lower
than expected as raw material, formulation and encapsulation costs of the
product were expensed as research and development cost prior to FDA approval.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses
for the third quarter 1999 were down 6% to approximately $4.9 million from $5.2
million in the comparable period in 1998. The decrease in spending was due to
lower spending for legal fees related to patent filings, approximately $251,000,
lower preclinical toxicology expenses, approximately $167,000, primarily related
to Attenade, as most of the toxicology work was completed in 1998, lower
spending on external University programs, approximately $198,000, and lower
requirements for internal consumable research
13
supplies, approximately $204,000, offset by increased clinical trial expenses,
primarily for Attenade, approximately $624,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by 70% to approximately $6.6 million in the
third quarter 1999 compared with $3.9 million during the same period in 1998.
The increase was primarily in sales and marketing, $1.2 million, as the sales
staff was expanded and marketing activities were increased, and warehousing and
distribution expenses were incurred, approximately $900,000, all related to the
sales and marketing of THALOMID, increased spending for Medical Affairs and Drug
Safety, approximately $300,000, and other miscellaneous general and
administrative expenses, approximately $300,000.
Interest income and expense. Interest income was up 88%, to $256,000
in the third quarter 1999 compared with $136,000 during the same period in 1998.
The higher interest resulted from higher cash balances related to the
convertible note issued in July, 1999. Interest expense increased significantly
to $861,000 from approximately $39,000 in the third quarter 1998 and is related
to the three convertible notes issued September 1998, January 1999, and July
1999.
Net loss. The net loss for the third quarter 1999 decreased 24% over
the same period in 1998 to approximately $6.1 million from $8.0 million. The
decreased loss is related primarily to the gross profit on THALOMID sales offset
by increases in sales and marketing and warehousing and distribution expenses as
described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company has financed its working capital
requirements primarily through private and public sales of its debt and equity
securities, income earned on the investment of the proceeds from the sale of
such securities, revenues from research contracts, product sales from certain
businesses which the company has since sold, and currently from revenues from
sales of THALOMID. The company has raised approximately $99.0 million in net
proceeds from three public and three private offerings, including its initial
public offering in July 1987, and an additional $38 million in convertible notes
issued in September 1998, January 1999, and July 1999.
The Company's net working capital at September 30, 1999 was $17.2
million compared with $2.5 million at December 31, 1998. The increase was
attributable to an increase in cash and marketable securities of $13.5 million,
an increase in accounts receivable and inventory of $780,000, and an increase in
other current assets of approximately $450,000, an decrease in account payable
of $800,000 offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $784,000. Net working
capital consisted principally of cash, cash equivalents, and
14
marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and
accrued expenses.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $11.3 million in the first nine
months of 1999 and marketable securities increased $2.2 million from December
31, 1998. The increase reflects the receipt in January 1999 and July 1999 of
funds from the issuance of two convertible notes as well as increasing revenues
from the sales of THALOMID.
The Company expects that its rate of spending will increase as the
result of increased clinical trial costs and expenses associated with the
regulatory approval process and commercialization of products now in development
as well as increased commercial costs related to the sales and marketing of
THALOMID and increasing working capital requirements. This increased spending
will be mitigated by the collection of receivables resulting from sales of
THALOMID. It is anticipated that the increasing sales of THALOMID as well as
existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund operations through midyear
2000 at which time it is expected that commercial operations alone will be
sufficient to fund the Company's ongoing financial requirements.
Year 2000 Computer Systems Compliance
Many older computer software programs refer to years in terms of their
final two digits only. Such programs may interpret the year 2000 (Y2K) to mean
the year 1900 instead. If not corrected, those programs could cause date-related
transaction failures. The Company's Chief Information Officer, in conjunction
with outside consultants has assessed the Company's systems with regard to Y2K
compliance and is nearing completion of the implementation of the Year 2000
compliance plan.
Since the Company was transitioning from a research and development
company to a commercial operation, pending FDA approval of the Company's lead
product THALOMID, the Company had already begun an assessment of Information
Technology needs to support the evolving structure. During 1998, the Company
replaced all personal computers, with the exception of several computers
connected to laboratory analytic equipment, with Year 2000 compliant machines.
All applications other than those used in the laboratory equipment, are Year
2000 Compliant. The Company has completed an assessment of the laboratory
computers and has begun the replacement of non-Y2K compliant machines. The
Company has spent less than $1.0 million on the systems upgrades to date.
Additional expenditures are expected to be less than $500,000. The Company uses
outside vendors to produce, encapsulate, package, process orders, invoice and
maintain accounts receivable records for THALOMID. The Company is in the process
of receiving certifications from such vendors that the systems utilized are or
will be Y2K compliant before the end of 1999. Based on current plans and efforts
to date, the Company
15
expects that there will be no material adverse effect on operations. There can
be no assurance, however, that all problems will be foreseen and corrected, that
Year 2000 problems at the Company's vendors, customers, and at governmental
agencies will not adversely affect the Company, or that no material disruption
of the Company's business will occur as a result of Year 2000 problems.
Accordingly, the Company has developed contingency plans to address the possible
occurrence of Year 2000 problems.
The statements contained in the foregoing Year 2000 readiness
disclosure are subject to certain protection under the Year 2000 Information and
Readiness Disclosure Act.
Cautionary Statements for Forward Looking Information

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments.
The warrants associated with the issuance of the Company's Series B Preferred
Stock currently have a conversion price of $7.48 which is based on 115% of a
defined conversion price which is currently $6.50. The conversion price can be
reset if the stock price were to fall below $6.50. Once the warrants are issued,
the conversion price can no longer be reset.
