UNITED THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

     United Therapeutics Corporation (United Therapeutics) is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of unique therapeutic products to treat patients with chronic and life-threatening cardiovascular, infectious and oncological diseases. United Therapeutics was incorporated on June 26, 1996 under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Lung Rx, Inc., Unither Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (UPI), Unither Telemedicine Services Corp. (UTSC), Unither.com, Inc., United Therapeutics Europe, Ltd., Unither Pharma, Inc., Medicomp, Inc., Unither Nutriceuticals, Inc. and Lung Rx, Ltd.

     United Therapeutics’ lead product is Remodulin®. On May 21, 2002, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Remodulin (treprostinil sodium) Injection for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with NYHA class II-IV symptoms to diminish symptoms associated with exercise. United Therapeutics agreed with the FDA that it would perform a post-marketing Phase IV clinical study to further assess the clinical benefits of Remodulin. The Phase IV study commenced in late 2002 and the final study report must be submitted to the FDA by December 2005. Continued FDA approval is conditioned on the completion and outcome of the Phase IV study. International applications for the approval of Remodulin are pending. United Therapeutics has generated pharmaceutical revenues from sales of Remodulin and arginine products in the United States and Europe. In addition, United Therapeutics has generated non-pharmaceutical revenues from telemedicine products and services in the United States.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in United Therapeutics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     In the opinion of United Therapeutics’ management, any adjustments contained in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2004 and results of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for an entire year.

3. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

     Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

     Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effects of outstanding stock options that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future. The effects of potentially dilutive stock options were calculated using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share for the periods in 2004 also include the effects of 591,832 shares of common stock that will be issued in 2004 to the sellers of Medicomp, Inc. and Telemedical Procedures LLC. The effects of outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share in 2003 because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented. As of June 30, 2003, those options totaled approximately 876,000 shares. The components of basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per share are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

     Stock Option Plan

     United Therapeutics applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to account for its stock options. SFAS No. 123 allows companies to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock options granted as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. United Therapeutics has elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123. United Therapeutics accounts for non-employee stock option awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees.

     As a result of applying APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations, no stock-based employee compensation expense is reflected in net loss, as all stock options granted to employees had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In accordance with SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, the effect on net loss and net loss per share if United Therapeutics had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

     During the six months ended June 30, 2004, options to purchase 121,521 shares were exercised.

4. INVENTORIES

     United Therapeutics manufactures certain compounds and purchases medical supplies for use in its product sales and ongoing clinical trials.
