TULARIK INC.

 

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Tularik Inc. (“Tularik” or the “Company”) reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at March 31, 2004 and the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Interim-period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for a full-year period.

 

The year-end balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes accompanying them should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Stockholders are encouraged to review the Form 10-K for a broader discussion of the Company’s business and the opportunities and risks inherent therein. Copies of the Form 10-K are available from the Company upon request.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tularik, its majority-owned subsidiary, Cumbre Inc., and Tularik’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Amplicon Corporation, Tularik Pharmaceutical Company, Tularik GmbH and Tularik Limited.

 

It is the Company’s policy to not allocate losses to any minority interests of Cumbre to the extent that such losses reduce the minority interests below the third-party minority stockholders’ liquidation preferences. As a result of this policy, 100% of Cumbre’s net loss has been included in the Company’s determination of net loss for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 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. Under previous guidance, issuers could account for those financial instruments as equity. SFAS No. 150 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. In November 2003, certain elements of SFAS No. 150 were deferred to fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004. SFAS No. 150 is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. The adoption of the effective elements of SFAS No. 150 had no material impact on our financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of the deferred elements of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51.” The FASB published the revision to clarify and amend some of the original provisions of FIN 46, which was issued in January 2003, and to exempt certain entities from its requirements. A variable interest entity (“VIE”) refers to an entity subject to consolidation according to the provisions of this Interpretation. FIN 46R applies to entities whose equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including equity holders, or where the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest. FIN 46R provides that if an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE should be consolidated in the entity’s financial statements. In addition, FIN 46R requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE provide additional disclosures. The provisions of FIN 46R are effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Outstanding options and warrants to purchase in the aggregate 8,968,674 shares of common stock at March 31, 2004 and 6,417,808 shares of common stock at March 31, 2003 were excluded from diluted earnings calculations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, because inclusion of options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses in these periods. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, 10,333 and 22,111 shares of common stock, respectively, were subject to repurchase.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive gain/loss. Other comprehensive loss includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net loss. Specifically, unrealized holding gains and losses on Tularik’s investments and the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Comprehensive loss and its components for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows (in thousands):

Restricted Investments

 

As of March 31, 2004, the Company held $2.3 million of bank certificates of deposit to collateralize the rent deposit on the Company’s new facilities in South San Francisco, California. Accordingly, the Company has classified these investments as restricted investments in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure.” The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and its related interpretations and has elected to follow the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the stock option grant between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of the stock option.

 

Pro forma net loss and net loss per share information is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and rights granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair market value method of that statement. For employee stock options granted prior to the Company’s initial public offering in December 1999, the fair value for these options and the related purchase rights was estimated at the date of grant using the minimum value method.

 

For employee stock options granted subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering, the value was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for 2004 and 2003, respectively: a risk free interest rate of 2.91%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 0.70 and 0.75; no dividend yield; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of 4.5 years. Pro forma information follows for the three-month periods ended March 31 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
