Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. General

 

Pain Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of innovative drugs. We specialize in developing safer or more efficacious drugs for use in pain management, particularly in the area of opioid painkillers, which are sometimes referred to as narcotic painkillers.

 

According to IMS Health, sales for opioid painkillers in the United States exceeded $5.6 billion in 2003. We own worldwide commercial rights to all of our drug candidates. We incorporated in Delaware in May 1998.

 

Our clinical pipeline consists of three proprietary drug candidates. We are developing these three oral, small molecule drugs to treat patients who suffer from severe chronic pain, such as pain associated with advanced osteoarthritis, low-back pain or irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS.

 

In the course of our development activities, we have sustained operating losses and expect such losses to continue through the next several years. We expect our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our planned working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all.

 

Our development activities involve inherent risks. These risks include, among others, dependence on key personnel and determination of patentability and protection of our products and processes. In addition, we have drug candidates that have not yet obtained FDA approval. Successful future operations depend on our ability to obtain approval for and commercialize these products.

 

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Pain Therapeutics, Inc. in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2005. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that management make estimates and assumptions

that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses incurred during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note 2. Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares plus potential dilutive common shares outstanding using the treasury-stock method. Potential dilutive common shares consist of outstanding stock options and outstanding warrants.

 

In all periods presented we have reported a loss and therefore all potential shares of common stock related to potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

 

Note 3. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is the sum of net loss and other comprehensive income (loss), which consists of net unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, as follows (in thousands):

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation

 

We use the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock-based awards granted to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and its related interpretations. Accordingly, we would recognize compensation expense in our financial statements in connection with stock options granted to employees with exercise prices less than fair value at the time the stock option is granted. We record stock-based compensation expense for non-employees at the fair value of the options granted in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, or SFAS 123, and Emerging Issues Task Force No 96-18, or EITF 96-18. The fair value of options granted to non-employees is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, or Black-Scholes. The model considers a number of factors, including the market price and volatility of our common stock at the date of measurement. We periodically re-measure the compensation expense for options granted to non-employees as the underlying options vest. The compensation expense

Table of Contents

related to all grants is being amortized using the graded vesting method, in accordance with SFAS 123, EITF 96-18 and FASB Interpretation No. 28, over the vesting period of each respective stock option, generally four years. The graded vesting method results in expensing approximately 57% of the total award in year one, 26% in year two, 13% in year three and 4% in year four.

 

If we had recorded compensation cost of our stock-based plans in a manner consistent with the fair value approach of SFAS 123, our loss and adjusted loss per share would have been increased as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
