NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Development Stage Company

 

We are a pharmaceutical company seeking to develop therapeutic advancements in as cost effective a manner as possible. Our product development efforts are focused on diseases with unmet medical needs where we can improve efficacy, safety and/or patient convenience. Since our inception in 1996, our business activities have been associated primarily with the development of pharmaceutical product candidates for the treatment of migraine. We have developed what we believe to be one of the largest and most advanced product pipelines in the field of migraine. We are also exploring the development of product candidates in other pain-related therapeutic areas.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements—The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations for interim financial information. These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. It is presumed that users of this interim financial information have read or have access to the audited financial statements and footnote disclosure for the preceding fiscal year contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

 

Revenue Recognition—Our licensing and other collaborative agreements have terms that include up-front payments upon contract signing, additional payments if and when certain milestones in the product’s development or commercialization are reached, and royalty payments based on future product sales. These agreements are accounted for in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, “Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SAB 104, (“SAB 101”), and Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”

 

Revenue from non-refundable up-front payments is deferred by the Company upon receipt and recognized over the period ending on the anticipated date of regulatory approvals, as specified in the agreements relating to the product candidates.

 

Milestone payments are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of specified milestones if (i) the milestone is substantive in nature and the achievement of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement and (ii) the fees are non-refundable. Any milestone payments received prior to satisfying these revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.

 

Royalty revenue will be recognized with respect to the manufacture, sale or use of the Company’s products or technology. For those arrangements where royalties are reasonably estimable, the Company will recognize revenue based on estimates of royalties earned during the applicable period and adjust for differences between the estimated and actual royalties in the following period. For those arrangements where royalties are not reasonably estimable, the Company will recognize revenue up receipt of royalty statements from the licensee.

 

Stock-based Compensation—The Company accounts for non-cash stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. (“APB”) 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” which states that no compensation expense is recognized for stock options or other stock-based awards that are granted to employees with an exercise price equal to or above the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. In the event that stock options are granted with an exercise price below the estimated fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date, the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the stock option is recorded as deferred compensation.

In connection with the grant of stock options to employees, the Company recorded no deferred compensation in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Deferred compensation recognized in prior periods was recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity and was being amortized as charges to operations over the vesting period of the options using the straight-line method. The vesting period of the options is generally three or four years. The Company recorded no deferred compensation for the period ended March 31, 2004 and amortized $279,089 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation.
