Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

DURECT Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 6, 1998. The Company is an emerging specialty pharmaceuticals systems company focused on the development of pharmaceutical systems based on its proprietary drug delivery technology platforms. The Company has several product candidates under development by itself and with third-party collaborators in the areas of pain and other chronic diseases and disorders. The Company also manufactures and sells osmotic pumps used in laboratory research. In addition, the Company conducts research and development of pharmaceutical product candidates with third-party pharmaceutical and biotechnology company partners.

 

The Company also designs, develops and manufactures a wide range of standard and custom biodegradable polymers for pharmaceutical and medical device clients for use as raw materials in their products. Until December 31, 2004, this business was conducted by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Absorbable Polymers International Corporation (API), formerly known as Birmingham Polymers Inc., an Alabama corporation. API was merged with and into the Company on December 31, 2004.

 

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, 2005, the operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 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.
