2.     Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to these rules and regulations. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

3.     Acquisition of Assets

On March 5, 2003, the Company completed an acquisition of certain assets from Gliatech Inc. related to its ADCON^® Gel technology for $8.4 million in cash and a royalty contingent upon future product sales. The Company paid $840,000 of the purchase price as a deposit in the fourth quarter of 2002, and $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2003. The remaining $4.2 million has been recorded in accrued expenses as of March 31, 2003, and will be paid upon final receipt of all respective assets. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):

In connection with the acquisition of these assets, the Company engaged an independent third party to conduct a valuation of the intangible assets acquired. The value assigned to acquired in-process research and development (“IPRD”) was $4.6 million of the purchase price. Accordingly, this amount was expensed in the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by estimating the costs to develop the IPRD into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting cash flows from such projects, and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. The discount rate utilized in discounting the net cash flows from IPRD was 32%. This discount rate reflects uncertainties surrounding the successful development of the IPRD.
