The Company is a pharmaceutical company developing therapies for the treatment of chronic diseases and conditions with its proprietary drug formulations and delivery platform technologies. The Company’s lead product, the CHRONOGESIC® (sufentanil) Pain Therapy System, is intended for the treatment of chronic pain. The Company has several products under development in the areas of pain, cardiovascular diseases and central nervous system disorders.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore, do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at March 31, 2004, the operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
