NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Operations

 

Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alexion” or the “Company”) was organized in 1992 and is engaged in the development of therapeutic products for the treatment of a wide array of severe diseases, including cardiovascular, autoimmune, and hematologic disorders, inflammation, and cancer.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alexion Antibody Technologies (“AAT”) and Columbus Farming Corporation (“CFC”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future period. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002. The year end balance sheet data presented does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.

 

2. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of SFAS 123. SFAS No. 148 provides additional transition guidance for those entities that elect to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 also mandates certain new disclosures that are incremental to those required by SFAS No. 123. The provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 during the quarter ended April 30, 2003.

 

At April 30, 2003, the Company has two stock-based compensation plans for employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. The Company accounts for the plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2003 and 2002 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):
