Page 4 ICOS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 1999 (unaudited) and December 31, 1998 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------------------ Basis of Presentation The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management of ICOS Corporation ("ICOS" or the "Company"), the information reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim period a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. For a presentation including all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, ICOS Development Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 2. Research and Development Arrangements ------------------------------------- Suncos The Company owns a 50% interest in Suncos Corporation ("Suncos"), a corporation formed for the development and commercialization of Pafase (TM). Pursuant to the terms of agreements entered into with Suncos, the Company conducts certain research and development activities on behalf of Suncos and is paid for such services based upon costs incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company recognized cost reimbursement revenue under this arrangement of $4.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively. In March 1999, the Company and Suntory Limited of Japan ("Suntory") each made an equity investment in Suncos of $10 million. Accordingly, the Company recognized $1.4 million of expense, equal to its 50% share of Suncos' 1999 first quarter net loss incurred subsequent to Suncos' expenditure of its initial capital of $30 million. Page 5 ICOS Clinical Partners, L.P. In 1997, ICOS Clinical Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), an affiliate of the Company, completed the sale to private investors of interests in the Partnership. Proceeds from the offering are being used by the Partnership to fund continued development of product candidates by the Company pursuant to the terms of a Product Development Agreement based on three compounds: LeukArrest (TM), Pafase(TM) and ICM3. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company recognized cost reimbursement revenue from the Partnership of $5.2 million and $3.7, respectively. Lilly ICOS, LLC In October 1998, the Company and Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") formed Lilly ICOS LLC ("Lilly ICOS"), a 50/50 owned limited liability company, to jointly develop and globally commercialize phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE 5) as oral therapeutic agents for the treatment of both male and female sexual dysfunction. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company recognized cost reimbursement revenue under this arrangement of $5.7 million. The joint venture is being capitalized by Lilly through cash infusions and the contribution by the Company of intellectual property associated with IC351 and its research platform. The technology contributed to Lilly ICOS by the Company had a zero basis for financial reporting purposes and accordingly, the Company has recorded its investment in Lilly ICOS as zero. The Company will not report its proportionate share of Lilly ICOS' results of operations until such time that the Company makes capital contributions to Lilly ICOS, if ever. 3. Net Loss Per Common Share ------------------------- Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the potential dilution that would occur on exercise or conversion of securities into common stock using the treasury stock method. Securities included in the Company's calculation of diluted EPS include all dilutive stock options, dilutive stock warrants and dilutive contingently issuable stock warrants. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, options to acquire 7.1 million shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $11.40 per share, warrants to acquire 5.2 million shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $9.45 per share and contingently issuable stock warrants to acquire 7.6 million shares of common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because they are antidilutive. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, options to acquire 6.3 million shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $8.58 per share, warrants to acquire 7.6 million shares of common stock with a Page 6 weighted average exercise price of $9.45 per share and contingently issuable stock warrants to acquire 7.6 million shares of common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because they are antidilutive. 4. Business Segments ----------------- In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS 131 requires an enterprise to report segment information based on how management internally evaluates the operating performance of its business units (segments). The Company's operations are confined to one business segment, the discovery and development of proprietary pharmaceuticals for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and other serious medical conditions. Page 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Risks and Uncertainties - ----------------------- The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied by the forward-looking statements discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed under "Important Factors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's annual report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Overview The Company is discovering and developing proprietary pharmaceuticals for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and other serious medical conditions. The Company's fundamental strategy is to identify and develop a significant number of potential product candidates into breakthrough products with high commercial potential. By understanding the underlying biochemical and physiological mechanisms and identifying the cellular and molecular entities involved in the disease process, the Company is developing product candidates that address important opportunities in the treatment of acute and chronic diseases that have inflammatory components as well as certain cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Through this strategy, the Company believes it will be able to develop novel therapeutics that are more selective than those presently available. Financial results for the first quarter of 1999 reflect planned increases in operating expenses necessary for advancing multiple therapeutic product candidates through the development process. Development activities include product development, process development and the establishment and management of clinical trials. The Page 8 Company expects increased clinical, regulatory, process development and product development activities over the remainder of the year and in future periods. The Company has an accumulated deficit at March 31, 1999 of $98.3 million. The Company's results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and will depend on, among other factors, the timing of certain expenses and payments received from certain collaborations, joint ventures, partnerships and other business relationships, as well as the progress of the Company's own research and development efforts, timing of clinical trials and the regulatory process. The Company expects increased expenditures over the next several quarters as it continues to expand the size and number of clinical trials of its product candidates, continues to expand preclinical research and development activities in support of additional potential product candidates, and initiates clinical trials of those product candidates deemed most promising. Revenues Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 totaled $16.1 million and consisted of (i) $5.2 million in cost reimbursement from ICOS Clinical Partners LLP ("the Partnership"), (ii) $4.7 million in cost reimbursement from Suncos Corporation ("Suncos"), (iii) $5.7 million in cost reimbursement from Lilly ICOS LLC ("Lilly ICOS"), and (iv) $0.5 million received under the Company's research and development agreement with Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott"). Revenues for the first quarter of 1998 totaled $6.6 million, and consisted of (i) $3.7 million in cost reimbursement from the Partnership, (ii) $2.4 million in cost reimbursement from Suncos, and (iii) $0.5 million received under the Company's research and development agreement with Abbott. Operating Expenses Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased to $23.1 million from $15.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 1999 increased to $22.3 million from $14.4 million for the first quarter of 1998. The increase in research and development expenses was due primarily to costs associated with the progression of clinical trials for LeukArrest(TM), Pafase(TM), IC351 and ICM3, and the expansion of other product development efforts. General and administrative expenses for both the first quarter of 1999 and 1998 totaled $0.8 million. Page 9 Other Income and Expense Other income primarily represents investment income earned on the Company's investment securities and interest accrued on the Company's loan to the Partnership. Investment income for the first quarter of 1999 totaled $1.1 million compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 1998. This increase was due primarily to higher average cash and investment balances during the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998. Total interest accrued on the loan to the Partnership was $0.2 million for both the first quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 1998. In March 1999, the Company and Suntory Limited of Japan ("Suntory") each made an equity investment in Suncos of $10 million. Accordingly, the Company recognized $1.4 million of expense, equal to its 50% share of Suncos' 1999 first quarter net loss incurred subsequent to Suncos' expenditure of its initial capital of $30 million. Net Loss For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company's net loss decreased to $7.2 million or $0.17 per share from $8.2 million or $0.21 per share for the first quarter of 1998. The decrease in net loss was due primarily to increased cost reimbursement revenues, partially offset by increased research and development expenses. Liquidity & Capital Resources The Company's future cash requirements and expense levels will depend on many factors, including continued scientific progress in its research and development programs, the results of research and development, preclinical studies and clinical trials, acquisitions of products or technology, if any, relationships with corporate collaborators, competing technological and market developments, the time and costs involved in filing and prosecuting patents and enforcing patent claims, the regulatory process, the time and costs of manufacturing scale-up and commercialization activities, and other factors. The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through private and public sales of the Company's common stock, investment income, and revenue from research and development collaborations, corporate joint ventures, limited partnerships and license payments. At March 31, 1999, the Company had $66.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, and interest receivable, a decrease of $11.8 million from December 31, 1998. This decrease is primarily attributable to continuing costs associated with clinical trials for LeukArrest(TM), Pafase(TM), IC351 and ICM3 and the Company's $10 million equity investment in Suncos, partially offset by increased cost reimbursement revenues and $11.9 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Page 10 For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company spent $1.5 million for the purchase of capital equipment and leasehold improvements to support research and development activities. To support its ongoing and future research and product development efforts over the next several years, the Company will need to purchase additional capital equipment and lease or purchase additional laboratory and administrative facilities. The Company anticipates that its operating expenses will continue to increase during 1999 and in subsequent quarters as it adds the personnel and facilities associated with advancing potential product candidates through development and clinical trials. Foreseeable incremental costs may include, but are not limited to, those associated with the Company's own product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials, patent filings and administrative activities. The Company may also incur costs and make capital contributions under its joint venture agreement with Suntory and Lilly related to the development of Pafase(TM) and IC351, respectively. Under provisions of the development agreements with Suncos and Lilly ICOS, the Company is to be reimbursed for certain of these costs. There can be no assurance that all such costs will be reimbursed. The Company anticipates that its existing cash, including interest income from investments and anticipated payments from Suncos, Lilly ICOS and the Partnership, will be adequate to satisfy its cash requirements until mid 2000. However, the amounts and timing of expenditures will depend on the progress of ongoing research and development, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the execution of development and licensing agreements with potential corporate partners, the Company's development of products, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulatory process, and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company has been successful in negotiating collaborations and joint development agreements with other parties where the work and strategies of the other parties complement those of the Company. In some instances, these relationships may involve commitments by the Company to fund some or all of certain development programs. Although corporate collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures have provided cost reimbursement revenue to the Company in the past, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available to the Company in the future. The Company intends to expand its operations and hire the additional personnel deemed necessary to continue development of its current portfolio of product candidates in clinical trials, as well as continuing discovery and preclinical research to identify additional potential drug candidates. The Company anticipates that expansion of these activities will increase operating expenses in future quarters. Further, incremental expenditures will be required for additional laboratory, production and office facilities to accommodate activities and the personnel associated with this increased development activity. As such, the Company will need to raise substantial additional funds to conduct its research and development activities, preclinical studies, clinical trials and pre-marketing activities necessary to bring its product candidates to market and to establish marketing capabilities if and when product candidates are ready for commercialization. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available as needed or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Insufficient funding will require the Page 11 Company to delay, scale-back or eliminate some or all of its research and development activities, planned clinical trials and administrative programs. Year 2000 - --------- Overview The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written using two, rather than four, digits to define the applicable year. Unless corrected, those systems with time-sensitive software may recognize a date ending in "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, potentially resulting in system failures or miscalculations. Readiness Based on an initial review of its computer systems and a survey of its key outside vendors, the Company presently believes that Year 2000 issues will not pose significant operational problems. The Company believes that it can correct the majority of its internal Year 2000 issues with certain modifications to existing software and selective conversion to new software and hardware. In addition, most of the Company's software and computer equipment have been purchased within the last five years and as such, have been manufactured with Year 2000 considerations in mind. Finally, all of the Company's critical software applications have been purchased from third-party vendors, the majority of which have already provided upgrades to bring their products into Year 2000 compliance. The Company estimates that it has already addressed the majority of expected internal Year 2000 issues through normal upgrades and new purchases of software and computer equipment. While the Company does not believe its Year 2000 issues will be significant to its operations, it has established a plan to proactively identify and address remaining Year 2000 issues. Currently, the Company is in the process of analyzing its software and computer systems and the Year 2000 status of its key outside vendors. The Company is contacting software and hardware vendors and its key outside vendors to confirm Year 2000 compliance for each item or vendor identified in the analysis. Based on the information gathered from each vendor, the Company will implement a Year 2000 solution if warranted. Finally, the Company will perform tests of relevant systems and correct any Year 2000 issues that are identified. Costs An initial review of the Company's computer systems showed that a majority of the Company's software, hardware, and embedded controllers have been manufactured with Year 2000 issues in mind. As such, the Company believes that the cost of identifying and correcting any internal Year 2000 issues will be minimal. Risks It is possible that after analyzing its systems for Year 2000 issues, making necessary upgrades and replacements to its systems and testing its systems, the Company may still encounter Year 2000 problems. Page 12 Furthermore, it is possible that some of the Company's key outside vendors will experience Year 2000 problems. Year 2000 problems with the Company's computer systems or its key outside vendors, might cause delays in development activities or in clinical trials and ultimately delay the launch of products or have other effects on the Company's operations. The Company anticipates that its highest Year 2000 risks are in the Clinical and Manufacturing areas, as failures in these areas may delay development or increase the time to bring a product to market. Contingency Plans The Company is in the process of establishing contingency plans to address any Year 2000 issues. Page 13 ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable and a note receivable from a related party. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its short-term investments, thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities.
