NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

     Genitope Corporation is a development stage enterprise focused on the research and development of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. Immunotherapies are treatments that utilize the immune system to combat diseases. Our lead product candidate, MyVax Personalized Immunotherapy, is a patient-specific active immunotherapy that is based on the unique genetic makeup of a patient’s tumor and is designed to activate a patient’s immune system to identify and attack cancer cells. MyVax is currently in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial and additional Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (“NHL”). We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 15, 1996 and have incurred significant losses since our inception.

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the financial statements, have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. Further, the preparation of condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts reported therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A change in facts or circumstances surrounding the estimate could result in a change to estimates and impact future operating results.

     The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial statements have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Liquidity

     We have not generated any revenues to date, and we have financed our operations and internal growth through private placements of common and preferred stock, our lines of credit, our public offerings of common stock, and interest income earned from our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We are a development stage enterprise and have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1996 as we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development activities, including clinical trials. As of March 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $121.8 million. As of March 31, 2005, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $109.4 million.

Stock-based compensation

     We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and comply with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”). Under APB 25, unearned stock compensation is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the deemed fair value of our common stock and the exercise price of stock option grants to employees.

     We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”). The equity instruments, consisting of stock options, are valued using the Black-Scholes Model. All unvested shares are marked to market until such options vest.

Table of Contents

     All stock compensation is amortized and expensed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans: an Interpretation of APB Opinions No. 15 and 25,” (“FIN 28”). We are amortizing stock compensation to expense over the period during which the periods vest, generally four years, using an accelerated vesting model consistent with FIN 28. Amortization of stock-based compensation for employees and non-employees is as follows (in thousands):

                 
    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2005     2004  
Amortization of stock-based compensation:
               
Research and development
  $ 90     $ 275  
Sales and marketing
    19       46  
General and administration
    48       (51 )
 
           
 
  $ 157     $ 270  
 
           

     Amortization of stock-based compensation will be reduced in future periods to the extent options are terminated prior to full vesting.

     The determination of the fair value of each option and employee purchase right has been estimated at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes Model, assuming the following weighted-average assumptions:

                                 
    Employee Stock     Employee Stock  
    Options     Purchase Plan  
    For the Three     For the Three  
    Months Ended     Months Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2005     2004     2005     2004  
Average risk-free interest rates
    3.70 %     2.70 %     1.51 %     N/A  
Average expected life (in years)
    4.00       4.00       0.90       N/A  
Dividend yield
    0 %     0 %     0 %     N/A  
Volatility
    66 %     80 %     61 %     N/A  

     Had compensation cost for our stock-based compensation plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date of the awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS 148, our net loss would have been increased to the amounts below (in thousands, except per share data):

                 
    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2005     2004  
Net loss attributable to common stockholders, as reported
  $ (6,996 )   $ (6,654 )
Add: Employee stock-based compensation included in reported net earnings
    141       270  
Deduct: Employee total stock-based compensation determined under fair value method
    (1,571 )     (578 )
 
           
Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders
  $ (8,426 )   $ (6,962 )
 
           
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:
               
As reported
  $ (0.25 )   $ (0.40 )
 
           
Adjusted
  $ (0.30 )   $ (0.42 )
 
           

     The resulting effect on net loss attributable to common stockholders and net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is not likely to be representative of the effects in future periods, due to subsequent periods including additional grants and periods of vesting.

Recent accounting pronouncements

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment — An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95” (“SFAS 123R”). The new pronouncement replaces the existing requirements under SFAS 123 and APB 25. According to SFAS

7


Table of Contents

123R, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options and employee stock purchase plans, would be treated the same as any other form of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the statement of operations. This pronouncement eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method. The statement requires companies to assess the most appropriate model to calculate the value of the options. We currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value options and are currently assessing which model we may use in the future under the new statement and may deem an alternative model to be the most appropriate. The use of a different model to value options may result in a different fair value than the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In addition, there are a number of other requirements under the new standard that would result in differing accounting treatment than currently required. These differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for the tax benefit on employee stock options and for stock issued under our employee stock purchase plan, and the presentation of these tax benefits within the statement of cash flows. In addition to the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, we will also be required to determine the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The allowed transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated.

     In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the effective date of SFAS 123R. The effective date of the new standard under these new rules for our financial statements is January 1, 2006. Adoption of this statement could have a significant impact on our financial statements as we will be required to expense the fair value of our stock option grants and stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) rather than disclose the impact on our net loss within our footnotes, as is our current practice. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.

Comprehensive loss

     Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and changes in unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale securities. There were no material differences between net loss and comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

NOTE 2. NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period excluding those shares that are subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders should give effect to the dilutive effect of potential issuances of common stock consisting of stock options, stock issuable under our ESPP, warrants, and common stock subject to repurchase. However, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share computations as they have an antidilutive effect due to our net loss.

     A reconciliation of shares used in the calculation is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
