DYAX CORP.

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                                       NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Dyax Corp. (Dyax or the Company) is a biopharmaceutical company principally focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of antibody, small protein and peptide therapeutic products to be used as anti-inflammatory agents and in oncology. The Company has two product candidates in clinical trials, DX-88 and DX-890, and has collaborative agreements for the development of both of these product candidates. The Company is currently conducting a worldwide phase II 48-patient, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of DX-88 for the treatment of patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE). During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company completed a phase II nine-patient, open-label, European study in hereditary and acquired angioedema and was granted orphan drug designation for DX-88 for the angioedema indication in both the U.S. and in Europe. The Company is also conducting a phase I/II study of DX-88 in cardiopulmonary bypass in the U.S. The Company’s collaborator for DX-890 has completed a phase IIa trial in adult patients with cystic fibrosis and has initiated a second phase IIa trial in children with cystic fibrosis. The Company and its collaborator were granted orphan drug designation in Europe for DX-890 for the cystic fibrosis indication.

 

The Company uses its proprietary, patented technology, known as phage display, to identify human monoclonal antibodies, small proteins and peptides as potential therapeutics for the treatment of various conditions and diseases.  The Company is using phage display technology to build a broad portfolio of product candidates that it plans to develop and commercialize on its own or with others. The Company is further leveraging its phage display technology through collaborations and licenses that are structured to generate revenues through research funding, license fees, technical and clinical milestone payments, and royalties.

 

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Biotage, Inc. (Biotage), develops, manufactures and sells chromatography separations systems and products and is a leading supplier of chromatography separations systems that use disposable cartridges to separate and purify pharmaceuticals being produced for research or clinical development.

 

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with FDA and other governmental regulations and approval requirements.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in order to be consistent with current year classifications.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

 

6



 

It is management’s opinion that the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

2.                                       PRODUCT WARRANTY

 

The Company provides separations product customers with a twelve-month warranty for performance in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specifications on its chromatography separations systems from the date of shipment. Estimated warranty obligations based on prior claim history, are included in the results of operations as cost of products sold and are evaluated and provided for at the time of sale.

 

Accrued warranty cost activity during the six months ended June 30, 2003 consists of the following:

3.                             STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Stock Options:  The Company’s Amended and Restated 1995 Equity Incentive Plan is an equity plan under which equity awards, including awards of restricted stock and incentive and nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock, may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company by action of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company accounts for the plan using the intrinsic value method prescribed under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to stock-based employee compensation.

7.                                       NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Net loss per share is computed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”.  Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted net loss per share does not differ from basic net loss per share since potential common shares from the exercise of stock options are antidilutive for all periods presented and, therefore, are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share.  Stock options totaling 4,010,459 and 3,544,850 were outstanding at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

9.                                       BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Company discloses business segments under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.  Segment data does not include allocations of corporate administrative costs to each operating segment.  The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on losses before corporate administrative costs, interest and taxes.

 

The Company has two reportable segments: (i) Separations and (ii) Biopharmaceutical.  The Separations segment, which is conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Biotage, develops, manufactures and sells chromatography separations systems.  The Biopharmaceutical segment is principally focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products.  It also licenses its proprietary technology to third parties and licenses affinity ligands developed using the Company’s phage display technology to third parties for separations and other applications.

 

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services.  They are managed separately because each business requires different technologies and marketing strategies.

 

The following table presents certain segment financial information and the reconciliation of segment loss from operations to consolidated totals.

10.                                 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). SFAS 142 requires that ratable amortization of goodwill be replaced with periodic tests of the goodwill’s impairment and that intangible assets other than goodwill be amortized over their useful lives.  The provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  Pursuant to SFAS 142, the Company ceased amortizing goodwill on January 1, 2002 and has completed its annual test for goodwill impairment. No impairment charge was required.  Intangible assets other than goodwill continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining estimated useful lives. Capitalized license rights are amortized using a systematic method over their useful lives.  Useful lives are based on management’s estimate of the period that the capitalized license will generate revenues directly or indirectly, currently seven years.  Capitalized software development costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related software products, currently three to five years.  Patents are amortized over a period of fifteen years.  The covenant not to compete is amortized over a period of five years.  The remaining goodwill balance of  $111,000 as of June 30, 2003 has been allocated to the Company’s Separations business segment.

On March 28, 2003, the Company’s Biotage subsidiary entered into a master capital lease for the purchase of qualified fixed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, Biotage sold to and leased back from the lender a total of  $194,000 of laboratory equipment. Interest pursuant to this capital lease ranges between 9.77% and 9.90%. Principal and interest payments are payable ratably over 36 months. No gain or loss was recorded as part of this transaction. The Company was required to provide cash collateral in the amount of $500,000, of which  $204,000 is included in restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet. As of June 30, 2003, there was $182,000 (included in obligations under capital lease arrangements) outstanding under the loan, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

In connection with the construction of Biotage’s facility in Charlottesville, Virginia, Biotage executed a loan agreement for approximately $4.3 million from a commercial bank.  Construction was completed during the forth quarter of 2002.  The note will be converted to a term loan in August 2003 and will be repaid over 20 years with interest at a rate fixed for five-year periods based on the five-year U.S. Treasury note rate in effect plus 1.58%.  Interest is fixed at 5.83% for the first five years and will be adjusted once every five years thereafter, but may be adjusted earlier if Biotage fails to maintain an average non-interest bearing compensating balance of $750,000 at the lending bank, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s balance sheet.  As of June 30, 2003, there was $4.3 million (included in obligations under promissory notes) outstanding under the loan, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

On August 29, 2002, the Company’s Biotage subsidiary signed a $400,000 promissory note with a commercial bank to fund the purchase of furniture and fixtures.  The note is payable ratably over 60 months, beginning October 1, 2002, and carries an interest rate of 7.0%.  Under the terms of the note, Biotage has assigned $400,000 to the bank as collateral, which is included in restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet.  As of June 30, 2003, there was $349,000 (included in obligations under promissory notes) outstanding under the loan, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

On May 31, 2002, the Company and Genzyme Corporation amended and restated their collaboration agreement for the development of DX-88 (the Amended Collaboration Agreement).  The Company and Genzyme also executed a senior secured promissory note and security agreement under which Genzyme agreed to loan the Company up to $7.0 million and the Company pledged a percentage interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Biotage.  The security agreement provides for the Company to pledge a higher percentage interest in Biotage should the Company, under the Amended Collaboration Agreement, fail to meet certain financial covenants.  The financial covenants state that the Company must

 

12



 

maintain at least $20.0 million in cash or cash equivalents based on the Company’s quarterly consolidated financial statements and that the Company maintains at least one continued listing standard for the Nasdaq National Market.  As of October 18, 2002, the Company had received the $7.0 million under this Genzyme note.  The note bears interest at the prime rate (4.00% at June 30, 2003)plus 2%.  Interest is payable quarterly.  The principal and all unpaid interest will be due on the maturity date of May 31, 2005.  The Company may extend the maturity date to May 31, 2007 if the Amended Collaboration Agreement is in effect, no default or event of default exists and the Company satisfies the financial covenants as of the initial maturity date.  As of June 30, 2003, there was $7.0 million (included in obligation to related party) outstanding under the loan, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

In June 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to initially lease approximately 67,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Under the terms of the agreement, the landlord loaned the Company approximately $2.4 million to be used towards the cost of leasehold improvements. The loan bears interest at a rate of 12.00% and is payable in 104 equal monthly installments through February 2012. As of June 30, 2003, there was $2.2 million (included in obligations under leasehold improvement arrangements) outstanding under the loan, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company's balance sheet.

 

During 2001, Dyax S.A., the Company’s research subsidiary located in Belgium, signed a capital lease for the purchase of qualified fixed assets.  During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, Dyax S.A. sold to and leased back from the lender  $151,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, of laboratory and office equipment. Interest pursuant to this capital lease ranges between 4.55% and 5.60%. Principal and interest are payable quarterly over 60 months.  No gain or loss was recorded as part of these transactions. Dyax S.A. was required to provide cash collateral in the amount of $571,000, which is included in restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet. As of June 30, 2003, there was $1.5 million (included in obligations under capital lease arrangements) outstanding under the loan, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

During 2001, the Company signed a capital lease and debt agreement for the purchase of qualified fixed assets and leasehold improvements.  Interest pursuant to this agreement ranges between 10.01% and 10.33%.  Principal and interest are payable ratably over 36 or 42 months. Capital lease obligations are collateralized by the assets under lease.  Other debt obligations are collateralized by a stand-by letter of credit for the amount financed.  If at the end of any fiscal quarter the Company’s unrestricted cash is less than the greater of $25.0 million or the Company’s annualized cash needs, the Company must provide an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount equal to the amount of debt financed, decreased on the anniversary date to then outstanding principle balance, which was $2.0 million at June 30, 2003.  Annualized cash needs are determined by multiplying cash used in operations for the most recently ended quarter by four.  The lender has no obligation to fund any further amounts.  During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold to and leased back from the lender  $306,000 and $2.0 million, respectively, of leasehold improvements, laboratory, production and office equipment.  No gain or loss was recorded as part of these transactions. As of June 30, 2003, there was $2.9 million (included in obligations under capital lease arrangements) outstanding related to capital leases and $1.6 million (included in obligations under leasehold improvement arrangements) outstanding related to the leasehold improvements debt agreement, totaling $4.5 million outstanding under the loan, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

During 1997, the Company signed a capital lease agreement for the purchase of qualified fixed assets from a lender for a total of $2.9 million of laboratory and office equipment.  Interest pursuant to this agreement ranges between 10.42% and 14.02%.  Principal and interest are payable ratably over 60 months. The capital lease obligations are collateralized by the assets under the lease. As of June 30, 2003, there was $709,000 (included in obligations under capital lease arrangements) outstanding under the agreement, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

The Company also has a capital lease for equipment in the Netherlands, the former site of its European research facility. In 2000, the Company sold to the lessor and leased back $297,000 of laboratory equipment under this facility. Interest pursuant to this agreement is at 5.60%. Principal and interest is payable ratably over 60 months.  No gain or loss was recorded as part of this transaction.  As of June 30, 2003, there was $125,000 (included in obligations under capital lease arrangements) outstanding under the capital lease, which is included in long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

The Company had additional capital lease arrangements totaling $53,000 (included in obligations under capital lease arrangements) outstanding at June 30, 2003.

 

12.                                 COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS

 

On May 31, 2002, the Company and Genzyme Corporation amended their collaboration agreement for the development and commercialization of DX-88.  Under the Amended Collaboration Agreement, the

 

13



 

Company had an option until March 31, 2003 to purchase Genzyme’s interest in the application of DX-88 for the prevention of blood loss and other systemic inflammatory responses in cardiopulmonary bypass and other surgery. The Company exercised its option to purchase Genzyme’s interest in the cardiopulmonary bypass and other surgery indication in the first quarter of 2003, which required the Company to pay $1.0 million to Genzyme in the second quarter of 2003. Upon exercise, the security agreement provided that Genzyme release its security interest in the portion of the DX-88 program relating to the cardiopulmonary bypass and other surgery indication and that the Company pledge a percentage of its interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Biotage, as additional collateral for the Genzyme loan (see note 11).

 

Under the Amended Collaboration Agreement, Dyax was responsible for funding the development of DX-88 for the treatment of HAE until the later of incurring $8.0 million of development costs or completion of the first phase II clinical trial for HAE, which occurred in the second quarter of 2003. In June 2003, Genzyme notified the Company of its decision to participate in a joint venture by exercising its option to acquire a 50% interest in the DX-88 program for the treatment of HAE. Genzyme is now responsible for 50% of the development costs incurred subsequent to completion of the first phase II clinical trial. These costs, all incurred during the second quarter of 2003, totaled $1.7 million. One half of these costs is $833,000 and is included in accounts receivable with an offset to research and development expenses at June 30, 2003.  Upon dosing the first patient in a pivotal clinical trial of DX-88 for HAE, Genzyme will be obligated to pay Dyax a milestone payment of approximately $3 million, representing 50% of the development costs in excess of $6.0 million that we incurred through completion of the first phase II clinical trial.  Dyax will also be entitled to receive potential milestone payments from Genzyme of $10.0 million for the first FDA approved product derived from DX-88, and up to $15.0 million for additional therapeutic indications developed under the collaboration, as well as 50% of the profits from sales of such products to third parties. The term of this collaboration is perpetual unless terminated by either party with prior written notice, or upon a material breach by the other party or immediately upon a change of control, or bankruptcy of the other party.

 

On January 3, 2003, the Company and Cambridge Antibody Technology Limited (CAT) amended a licensing agreement between the parties dated December 31, 1997. Under the expanded terms of the amended agreement, CAT granted the Company worldwide licenses for research and certain other purposes for all CAT antibody phage display patents (the CAT patents). The Company also received options for licenses to develop therapeutic and diagnostic antibody products under the CAT patents. CAT will receive milestone and royalty payments in connection with antibody products advanced into clinical trials by the Company, its collaborators or its customers. CAT will have the option to co-fund and co-develop antibodies developed by the Company and to share the Company’s revenues from certain other applications of antibody phage display technology.  Additionally, CAT is no longer required to pay the Company royalties related to the Company’s Ladner patents on antibody products developed by CAT, except in relationship to Humira™. CAT currently has options to buy the Company out of any future royalties it may owe on Humira™ under a predetermined schedule.  The companies are currently in dispute regarding these royalties and are in settlement negotiations regarding potential alternative considerations to resolve this matter.

 

13.                                 LITIGATION

 

George Pieczenik and I.C. Technologies America, Inc. sued the Company in 1999 for patent infringement of three United States patents. The complaint was initially filed against the Company in New York, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction and then refiled in the United States District Court in Massachusetts. On February 25, 2003, the District Court granted summary judgment of noninfringement in the Company’s favor with respect to the three asserted patents.  On March 5, 2003, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC).  The CAFC is scheduled to consider the Appeal on September 3, 2003.

14.                                 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”.  EITF Issue 00-21 provides guidance on how to determine when an arrangement that involves multiple revenue-generating activities or deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and if this division is required, how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting.  The guidance in the consensus is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003.  The adoption of EITF Issue 00-21 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46), which is effective for the Company on July 1, 2003. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The adoption of SFAS 149 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The discussion in this item and elsewhere in this report contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties include those described under “Important Factors That May Affect Future Operations and Results” below.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company principally focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of antibody, small protein and peptide based therapeutics to be used as anti-inflammatory agents and in oncology. We have two product candidates in clinical trials, DX-88 and DX-890, and have collaborative agreements for the development of both of these product candidates. We are currently conducting a worldwide phase II 48-patient, double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial of DX-88 for the treatment of patients with hereditary angioedema. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we completed a phase II nine-patient, open-label, European study in hereditary and acquired angioedema and were granted orphan drug designation for DX-88 for the angioedema indication in both the U.S. and in Europe. We are also conducting a phase I/II study of DX-88 in cardiopulmonary bypass in the U.S. Our collaborator for DX-890 has completed a phase IIa trial in adult patients with cystic fibrosis and has

 

15



 

initiated a second phase IIa trial in children with cystic fibrosis.  We and our collaborator were granted orphan drug designation in Europe for DX-890 for the cystic fibrosis indication.

 

We use our proprietary, patented technology, known as phage display, to identify human monoclonal antibodies, small proteins and peptides as potential therapeutics for the treatment of various conditions and diseases. We are using phage display technology to build a broad portfolio of product candidates that we plan to develop and commercialize either ourselves or with others. We are further leveraging our phage display technology through collaborations and licenses that are structured to generate revenues through research funding, license fees, technical and clinical milestone payments, and royalties.

 

We also develop, manufacture and sell chromatography separations systems and products through our Biotage subsidiary. We are a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of chromatography separations systems that use disposable cartridges to separate and purify pharmaceuticals being produced for research and clinical development.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002

 

Total revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 (the 2003 Quarter) were $8.4 million, compared with $10.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 (the 2002 Quarter), a decrease of $2.2 million or 21%. Separations product revenues and Biopharmaceutical product development and license fee revenues accounted for 60% and 40%, respectively, of our total revenues in the 2003 Quarter, as compared with 55% and 45% in the 2002 Quarter. Separations product sales decreased to $5.0 million in the 2003 Quarter from $5.8 million in the 2002 Quarter, a decrease of $800,000 or 14%. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in revenues in non-core product lines, specifically our KiloprepÒ and Flex Systems. Management believes that the decrease is partially due to a tightening of capital budgets within its largest customer base and that this business condition may persist for the balance of this fiscal year.  For the second half of 2003 this trend should be partially offset by the introduction and commercialization of new products introduced in the 2003 Quarter. This decrease was partially offset by increases in our HorizonÔ and FLASHÔ consumables product lines and service revenue.

 

Biopharmaceutical product development and license fee revenues decreased to $3.3 million in the 2003 Quarter from $4.8 million in the 2002 Quarter, a decrease of $1.4 million or 30%. This decrease was primarily due to a $873,000 quarter-to-quarter reduction in revenue arising from the reimbursement of our costs of drug manufacture from our DX-890 product collaboration with Debiopharm S.A. DX-890 manufacturing revenue is recognized when the product is shipped from the third party contract manufacturer to Debiopharm S.A.  As of June 30, 2003, reimbursable costs totaling $3.2 million were billed to Debiopharm S.A. but not recognized as revenue.  We expect the manufactured product to be shipped during the third quarter of 2003. These amounts billed along with the offsetting costs are included in deferred revenue and other current assets on the balance sheet at June 30, 2003. On a quarter-to-quarter basis our DX-890 manufacturing revenue may vary substantially due to the timing of production activities.  The decrease in revenue is also related to lower revenues in our funded research and collaboration efforts in the areas of therapeutics, affinity separations and research reagents.

 

Cost of products sold for the 2003 Quarter was $2.2 million compared to $2.6 million for the 2002 Quarter, a decrease of $400,000 or 16%.  The gross margin on product revenues for the 2003 Quarter was 56.7% compared to 55.4% for the 2002 Quarter, primarily reflecting a change in the product mix to more higher margin FLASH systems and consumables sales during the 2003 Quarter as compared to the product mix for the 2002 Quarter.

 

Research and development expenses for the 2003 Quarter were $6.0 million, compared with $8.1 million for the 2002 Quarter, a decrease of $2.2 million or 27%.  The decrease resulted primarily from reduced employee costs, Genzyme’s agreement in June 2003 to partially reimburse our costs of clinical drug manufacture and clinical trial costs under our DX-88 product collaboration, and reimbursable expenses under our DX-890 product collaboration. Reimbursable manufacturing expenses are recognized with the related revenue upon shipment of material

from the third party manufacturer to Debiopharm S.A. and are included in other current assets on the balance sheet at June 30, 2003.  These decreased costs were partially offset by clinical costs for the phase II trial of DX-88 in HAE.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $6.0 million for the 2003 Quarter compared to $7.5 million for the 2002 Quarter, a decrease of $1.5 million or 20%. The decrease primarily reflects the effects of our September 2002 staff reduction in our Cambridge, Massachusetts facility, as well as lower outside patent legal costs, and the benefits received from subletting a portion of our Cambridge facility.  Marketing costs decreased at our Biotage subsidiary but were offset by staff increases at its foreign subsidiaries.

 

Interest income decreased to $67,000 for the 2003 Quarter compared to $148,000 for the 2002 Quarter due to lower average cash and cash equivalent balances and lower interest rates.  Interest expense increased to $427,000 for the 2003 Quarter compared to $264,000 for the 2002 Quarter due to additional long-term debt obligations.

 

Our net loss for the 2003 Quarter was $6.1 million compared to $7.7 million for the 2002 Quarter.

 

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002

 

Total revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 (the 2003 Period) were $17.7 million, compared with $19.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 (the 2002 Period), a decrease of $1.9 million or 9%. Separations product revenues and Biopharmaceutical product development and license fee revenues accounted for 59% and 41%, respectively, of our total revenues in the 2003 Period, as compared with 56% and 44% in the 2002 Period. Separations product sales decreased to $10.5 million in the 2003 Period from $10.8 million in the 2002 Period, a decrease of $400,000 or 3%. This decrease is primarily due to decrease in our sale of Flex, Kiloprep and Production FLASH systems.  Management believes that the decrease is partially due to a tightening of capital budgets within its largest customer base and that this business condition may persist for the balance of this fiscal year.  For the second half of 2003 this trend should be partially offset by the introduction and commercialization of new products introduced in the 2003 Quarter. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our Horizon and FLASH consumables product lines and an increase in service revenue.

 

Biopharmaceutical product development and license fee revenues decreased to $7.2 million in the 2003 Period from $8.7 million in the 2002 Period, a decrease of $1.5 million or 17%.  This decrease was primarily due to a $2.0 million period-to-period reduction in revenue arising from the reimbursement of our costs of drug manufacture from our DX-890 product collaboration with Debiopharm S.A. DX-890 manufacturing revenue is recognized when the product is shipped from the third party contract manufacturer to Debiopharm S.A.  As of June 30, 2003, reimbursable costs totaling $3.2 million were billed to Debiopharm S.A. but not recognized as revenue.  We expect the manufactured product to be shipped during the third quarter of 2003.  These amounts billed along with the offsetting costs are included in deferred revenue and other current assets on the balance sheet at June 30, 2003. On a period-to-period basis our DX-890 manufacturing revenue may vary substantially due to the timing of production activities.  This decrease was partly offset by higher revenues in our funded research and collaboration efforts in the areas of therapeutics, affinity separations and research reagents.

 

Cost of products sold for the 2003 Period was $4.6 million compared to $4.8 million for the 2002 Period, a decrease of $200,000 or 3%.  The reduction in cost of products sold resulted from lower than expected volume of product sales in the first half of 2003, for which fixed manufacturing costs on the lower than expected volume resulted in a nominal decline in gross margin.

 

Research and development expenses for the 2003 Period were $13.4 million, compared with $15.7 million for the 2002 Period, a decrease of $2.3 million or 15%.  The decrease resulted primarily from reduced employee costs, Genzyme’s agreement in June 2003 to partially reimburse a potion of our costs of clinical drug manufacture and clinical trial costs under our DX-88 product collaboration, and reimbursable expenses under our DX-890 product collaboration.  Reimbursable manufacturing expenses are recognized with the related revenue upon shipment of material

from the third party manufacturer to Debiopharm S.A. and are included in other current assets on the balance sheet at June 30, 2003.  These decreased costs were partially offset by clinical costs for the phase II trial of DX-88 in HAE.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $11.4 million for the 2003 Period compared to $13.6 million for the 2002 Period, a decrease of $2.2 million or 16%.  The decrease primarily reflects the effects of our September 2002 staff reduction in our Cambridge facility as well as lower outside patent legal costs and the benefits received from subletting a portion of our Cambridge facility.  Marketing costs decreased at our Biotage subsidiary but were offset by staff increases at its foreign subsidiaries.

 

Interest income decreased to $161,000 for the 2003 Period compared to $325,000 for the 2002 Period due to lower average cash and cash equivalent balances and lower interest rates.  Interest expense increased to $843,000 for the 2003 Period compared to $467,000 for the 2002 Period due to additional long-term debt obligations.

 

Our net loss for the 2003 Period was $12.4 million compared to $14.8 million for the 2002 Period.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Through June 30, 2003, we have funded our operations principally through the sale of equity securities, which have provided aggregate net cash proceeds since inception of approximately $141.0 million, including net proceeds of $62.4 million from our August 2000 initial public offering and net proceeds of $8.3 million from our March 2003 registered directed offering.  We have also generated funds from separations product sales, biopharmaceutical product development revenues, biopharmaceutical license fees, interest income, long-term debt obligations and other sources.  As of June 30, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $25.6 million, a decrease of approximately $2.6 million from December 31, 2002.  We primarily invest excess cash in U.S. Treasury obligations and certificates of deposit.

 

Our operating activities used cash of $10.2 million and $13.7 million for the 2003 Period and 2002 Period, respectively.  Our operating activities for the 2003 Period consisted primarily of our net loss of $12.4 million, and an increase in other assets of $2.0 million and accounts receivable of $1.1 million, partially offset by depreciation and amortization costs totaling $2.4 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.7 million.  The activities for the 2002 Period consisted primarily of our net loss of $14.8 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.0 million and an increase in other assets of $750,000, partially offset by depreciation and amortization costs totaling $1.7 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.2 million.

 

Our investing activities provided cash of $492,000 for the 2003 Period and used cash of $10.9 million for the 2002 Period.  Our investing activities for the 2003 Period included repayments on notes receivable, employees of $1.3 million, including approximately $1.2 million received from our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board for full payment on the related note and proceeds of $45,000 from the sale of assets, partially offset by $433,000 in fixed asset purchases, a $313,000 increase in restricted cash and an increase in capitalized software development costs of $125,000.  The 2002 Period includes purchases of fixed assets relating to our move to a new corporate and research facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

 

Our financing activities provided cash of $7.1 million for the 2003 Period and $12.8 million of cash during the 2002 Period.  Our financing activities for the 2003 Period consisted primarily of the $8.3 million net proceeds from the registered directed offering, completed in March 2003 and proceeds from long-term obligations of $703,000.  These proceeds were partly offset by repayments of long-term obligations of $1.9 million.  Our financing activities for the 2002 Period consisted primarily of proceeds of $2.4 million from our Cambridge landlord for leasehold improvements, borrowings under long-term obligations of $10.8 million, and the exercise of stock options and the sale of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan totaling $520,000.  These proceeds were partially offset by $871,000 in repayments of long-term obligations.

 

18



 

We have financed fixed asset purchases through capital leases and debt. Capital lease obligations are collateralized by the assets under the leases. Certain debt obligations are collateralized by a stand-by letter of credit for the amount financed, of which none is outstanding at June 30, 2003.  If, at the end of any quarter, our unrestricted cash is less than the greater of $25.0 million or our annualized cash needs, we must provide to the lender an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to the amount financed by that lender, which was $2.0 million at June 30, 2003.  Annualized cash needs are determined by multiplying cash used in operations for the most recently ended quarter by four. We anticipate we will be required to provide this letter of credit during the third quarter of 2003.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, we outlined our commitments and contingencies. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, there have been no material changes in our commitments and contingencies except for those disclosed in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements (see Note 11).

 

OUTLOOK

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, we anticipate modest revenue growth over fiscal year 2002 revenues. This modified projection of revenue for 2003 is primarily a result of our belief that the recognition of Genzyme’s anticipated funding for the hereditary angioedema program will continue to be a reduction in research and development expense rather than as revenue, as well as lower than anticipated revenues from Biotage.  As most of our revenue changes have little effect on net cash consumption, we do not expect our net cash used in operations plus capital expenditures to exceed $20 million for the year.

 

Separations product revenues should continue to grow in Biotage’s core discovery equipment and consumables product lines. We anticipate Biotage’s continued strength in the chromotography separations systems market to be bolstered by it’s recent launch of two new products. We believe increased sales of Biotage’s core discovery product lines will be offset by lower anticipated revenues from sales of large capital equipment and non-core production scale systems.

 

We anticipate Biopharmaceutical product development and license fee revenues to grow based primarily on our expectations regarding additional collaboration and licensing opportunities available to us in the therapeutic antibody area.

 

Statements about our expectations of the period of time through which financial resources will be adequate to support our operations are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, many of which are included in the section entitled, “Important Factors That May Affect Future Operations and Results”, below. We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents plus anticipated cash flow from product revenues and collaborations will be sufficient to support our current operating plans into 2004. If our existing resources and cash flows from product sales and collaborations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may need to sell assets, issue additional equity or debt securities or otherwise further leverage assets. We have filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the potential issuance of up to $40 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or warrants.  The sale of any equity or debt securities may result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain any required additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned research, development and commercialization activities, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, our most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which our financial status depends upon were identified as those relating to inventories, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, revenue recognition and litigation claims. We reviewed our policies and determined that those policies remain our most critical accounting policies for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.  We did not make any changes in those policies during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATIONS AND RESULTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements appear principally in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements may appear in other sections of this report, as well. Generally, the forward-looking statements in this report use words like “expect,” “believe,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “opportunity,” “future,” “project,” and similar expressions.

 

The forward-looking statements include statements about our:

 

                                          results of operations;

 

                                          research and development programs;

 

                                          clinical trials; and

 

                                          collaborations.

 

Statements that are not historical facts are based on our current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates, forecasts and projections for our business and the industry and markets in which we compete. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in such forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. These statements speak only as of the date of this report, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise them, except as required by law.

 

The following factors, among others, create risks and uncertainties that could affect our future or other performance:

 

                  our history of operating losses and our expectation that we will incur significant additional operating losses;

 

                  any inability to raise the capital that we will need to sustain our operations;

 

                  any inability to successfully and expeditiously complete the rigorous clinical trials and regulatory approvals processes that any biopharmaceutical or diagnostic product candidates that we develop must undergo, which could substantially delay or prevent their development or marketing;

 

                  our dependence on third parties to manufacture biopharmaceuticals, which may adversely affect our ability to commercialize any biopharmaceuticals we may develop;

 

                  our lack of experience in conducting clinical trials, regulatory processes, and conducting sales and marketing activities, any or all of which may adversely impact our ability to commercialize any biopharmaceuticals we may develop;

 

                  our dependence on the expertise, effort, priorities and contractual obligations of our collaborators, any changes in our collaborators’ business direction or priorities or defaults in their obligations may have an adverse impact on our research revenues and ultimately our license revenues and expenses;

 

                  any failure by us or our collaborators to gain market acceptance of our biopharmaceuticals;

 

20



 

                  competition and technological change that may make our potential products and technologies less attractive or obsolete;

 

                  any inability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products and technologies;

 

                  time consuming and expensive proceedings to obtain, enforce or defend patents and to defend against charges of infringement that may result in unfavorable outcomes and could limit our patent rights and our activities;

 

                  significant fluctuations in our revenues and operating results, which have occurred in the past and which we expect to continue to fluctuate in the future;

 

                  any loss or inability to hire and retain qualified personnel;

 

                  difficulties in managing our growth;

 

                  our dependence on one supplier for a key component in our separations products;

 

                  our handling, storage or disposal of hazardous materials used and generated in our business may be time-consuming and expensive;

 

                  our exposure to product liability;

 

                  risks associated with international sales and operations and collaborations;

 

                  failure to acquire technology and integrate complementary businesses;

 

                  our common stock may continue to have a volatile public trading price and low trading volume; and

 

                  anti-takeover provisions in our governing documents and under Delaware law and our shareholder rights plan that may make an acquisition of us more difficult.

 

As a result of these and other factors, we may experience material fluctuations in our future operating results, which could materially affect our business, financial position, and stock price. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in Exhibit 99.1 entitled, “Important Factors Affecting Future Operations and Results” filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Item 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our exposure to market risk consists primarily of our cash and cash equivalents. We place our investments in high-quality financial instruments, primarily U.S. Treasury funds and certificates of deposit, which we believe are subject to limited credit risk. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. As of June 30, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $25.6 million consisting of cash and highly liquid, short-term investments. Our short-term investments will decline by an immaterial amount if market interest rates increase, and therefore, our exposure to interest rate changes is immaterial. Declines of interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income from our short-term investments.

 

As of June 30, 2003, we had $20.8 million outstanding under long-term obligations.  Interest rates on $9.5 million of these obligations are fixed and therefore are not subject to interest rate fluctuations.  Interest rates on the remaining $11.3 million are variable as follows:  i) Interest on the $7.0 million

 

21



 

Genzyme note is variable based on the prime interest rate and is therefore subject to interest rate fluctuations.  A 1% increase in the prime rate will result in an additional $70,000 in annual interest expense; and, ii) Interest on Biotage’s $4.3 million Charlottesville facility loan is fixed over the next five years and therefore would not be subject to interest rate fluctuations over that period.

 

Most of our transactions are conducted in U.S. dollars. We have collaboration and technology license agreements, product sales, sales office subsidiaries and a research subsidiary located outside the United States. Transactions under certain of these agreements and by our subsidiaries are conducted in local foreign currencies.  If exchange rates undergo a change of up to 10%, we do not believe that it would have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.

 

(b)  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 2 – CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On August 18, 2000, we sold 4,600,000 shares of common stock (including 600,000 shares pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of their over allotment option) at a price of $15.00 per share in our initial public offering and received proceeds of approximately $62.4 million, net of underwriter commissions.  From August 18, 2000 through June 30, 2003, we used approximately $45.3 million of the proceeds to fund operating activities and $17.1 million for the purchase of fixed assets.

 

Item 4 – SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 

We held our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 15, 2003.  The following represents the results of the voting on proposals submitted to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting:
