NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation, Reclassification and Stock-Based Compensation

 

The accompanying financial statements of Genaera Corporation (“Genaera” or the “Company”) are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. The December 31, 2004 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes that the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be achieved for full fiscal years. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. There have been no material changes in accounting policies from those stated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

The Company’s stock-based compensation awards include stock options granted to employees, restricted stock granted to employees and stock options granted to non-employee service providers. The Company accounts for its fixed-plan stock options under the intrinsic-value-based method set forth by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, issued in March 2000. Under this method, compensation cost is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. As allowed by SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above. With regard to stock option grants to employees, the Company has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss applicable to common stockholders if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested stock-based awards for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands, except per share amounts).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The resulting effect on pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share disclosed above may not be representative of the effects on a pro forma basis in future years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

On December 16, 2004, the FASB published SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective as of the first annual period that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The implications of this revised standard will materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and thereafter. If the Company had applied the provisions of SFAS 123R to the financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, net loss attributed to common stockholders would have increased by approximately $359,000.

NOTE 3. Common Stock

 

On January 21, 2004, the Company sold 4,950,500 shares of its common stock to four institutional investors in a private placement at a purchase price of $4.04 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from the offering totaled $19,925,000 after offering costs of approximately $75,000. The share price was calculated based on a 10% discount to the five day moving average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on January 20, 2004. In addition, an aggregate of 990,100 warrants to purchase 990,100 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the institutional investors (see “NOTE 4
