CYPROS PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Business Activity Cypros Pharmaceutical Corporation (the "Company") is engaged in the development and marketing of acute-care, hospital-based products. Through July 31, 1995, the Company was considered to be in the development stage. In connection with the acquisitions of Glofil and Inulin, two injectable renal diagnostic products, on August 9, 1995, the Company commenced product sales and became an operating company. The Company's pre-clinical and clinical development programs focus on cytoprotective drugs designed to reduce ischemia (low blood flow) induced tissue damage in acute-care settings. The Company's two clinical programs are currently in six Phase II trials, which include four for CPC-111 (acute complications of angioplasty, coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, congestive heart failure and sickle cell anemia crises), and two for CPC-211 (stroke and head injury). Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial statements for the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 1996 and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. For more complete financial information, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended July 31, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results and increases in expenses and losses since inception and it expects these fluctuations, expenses and losses will continue. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and is comprised of raw materials of $24,663 and finished goods of $41,054. Revenue Recognition Revenues from product sales of whole vials of Glofil and Inulin are recognized upon shipment. Revenues from Glofil unit sales are recognized upon receipt by the Company of monthly sales reports from Syncor, the exclusive marketing agent for Glofil in this form. The Company is not obligated to accept returns of products sold that have reached their expiration date. Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Reclassifications Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. Subsequent Event On November 4, 1996, the Company acquired the New Drug Application, the U.S. trademark for Ethamolinr Injection (the "Ethamolin Assets") and the finished goods inventory on hand at closing from Schwarz Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The acquisition was accomplished in an arm's length negotiation through a purchase of assets and accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price was $3,286,642, of which the Company paid $2,086,642 in cash and issued a $1,200,000 note bearing interest at 8% per annum at closing. The principal and accrued interest on the note are due and payable on November 3, 1997. Repayment of the principal and interest on the note is secured by the Ethamolin Assets. The Company used its working capital to make the cash payment at closing. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the period of time during which the Company's existing capital resources and income from various sources will be adequate to satisfy its capital requirements. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to, those discussed in this section, as well as in the sections entitled "Business", "Licenses", "Manufacturing", "Sales and Marketing", "Competition", "Government Regulation", "Patents and Proprietary Rights"of the Company's Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996 and those discussed in the S-3 Registration Statement File No. 333-3507 filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as those discussed in any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein.. [The Company was founded in 1990, commenced its research and development activities in 1991, completed an initial public offering (the "IPO") in November 1992, commenced clinical trials in December 1994 and acquired two FDA-cleared products, Glofil and Inulin, in August 1995. The Company has sustained an accumulated deficit of $12,091,231 from inception through October 31, 1996. As the Company will not have significant positive net operating cash flow for the next few years and the Company's sales and marketing, research and development, clinical testing and regulatory and general and administrative expenses during these years will be substantial and increasing, the Company expects to incur increasing losses for the foreseeable future.] Results of Operations [During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1996, the Company sustained a loss of $1,608,999 (or $.14 per share) compared to a loss of $640,480 (or $.06 per share) for the prior-year quarter. Sales for the current quarter were $367,131, a 63% increase over the $224,728 in sales reported in the prior-year quarter. Sales and marketing expense increased by 332% to $162,456 in the current quarter due to increased payroll expense related to additional field sales representatives, their travel and related expense and increased promotional expense.] General and administrative expense increased by 50% to $756,962 in the current quarter. While increases were recorded in payroll, rent (related to leasing the Company's new executive offices), investor relations, business development and travel related to investor relations and business development, a one-time payment of $100,000 to a financial advisor accounted for nearly 40% of the increase. During the current quarter, research grant income decreased by 36% to $47,400, as a result of the Phase II SBIR Grant for the Company's NCCB program coming to an end. In addition, net interest and other income for the current quarter increased by 51% to $284,496 during the prior-year quarter due principally to the interest income from a larger investment portfolio. [During the current quarter, the Company recognized $676,515 of expense related to the amortization of (i) the discount available upon conversion of the $8 million in principal amount of mandatorily convertible notes issued in three private placements between April and July of 1996 and (ii) the deferred financing costs related to these placements.] Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has principally funded its activities to date through its initial public offering ("IPO") in November 1992, in which it raised net proceeds of $5,951,000, subsequent exercises of its Redeemable Class A Warrants in 1994 and early 1995, which raised $10,497,000, exercises by the underwriter of the IPO of its unit purchase options (and the Redeemable Class A Warrants within such options), which raised $1,681,000, that it had received as part of its compensation for the IPO, and two private placements of mandatorily convertible notes during July 1996, which raised $7,000,000. through the issuance of 1,150,000 units, each comprising a share of Common Stock, a Redeemable Class A Warrant ("Class A Warrant") and a Redeemable Class B Warrant ("Class B Warrant"). In October 1993, the Company received proceeds of $725,625 from the exercise of "bridge" warrants for 537,500 shares of Common Stock (the "Bridge Warrant Exercise") which had been issued in connection with a bridge loan to the Company prior to the IPO. From December 1993 to March 1994, the Company conducted a special program designed to encourage holders of Class A Warrants to exercise their warrants immediately (the "Class A Warrant Program") in order to provide the Company with additional working capital prior to commencing clinical testing. The holders of the Class A Warrants were offered one-half of a Class B Warrant and 1.175 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of each Class A Warrant at an adjusted price of $9.253 (equal to 117.5% of the original exercise price of $7.875). This program resulted in the Company's receipt of net proceeds of $2,355,123 from the exercise of 258,831 Class A Warrants and the Company's issuance of 304,123 shares of Common Stock and 129,414 Class B Warrants. At October 31, 19964, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $14,945,124, compared to $15,997,049, compared to $4,444,259 at July 31, 19936. Bridge Warrant Exercise and the At October 31, 1996, working capital was $14,634,578, compared to $15,384,449, compared to $4,311,350 at July 31, 19963. The Company expects that its cash needs will increase significantly in future periods due to expansion of research and development programs, increased clinical testing activity, growth of administrative, clinical and laboratory staff and expansion of facilities to accommodate increased numbers of employees. The Company's management believes that the Company's working capital will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company for more than two years dependent, in part, on the timing of the commencement of each phase of the clinical trials on CPC-111 and CPC-211 and the funding priorities that it gives its various research programs, the results of clinical tests and research programs; competing technological and market developments; the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals and in obtaining, maintaining and enforcing patents; the cost of product acquisitions and their resulting cash flows and other factors. The Company is funding a significant portion of its operating expenses through cash flow from product sales, but expects to seek additional funds through exercises of its currently outstanding options and warrants, public or private equity financings, collaborations or from other sources. There can be no assurance that additional funds can be obtained on desirable terms or at all. The Company may seek to raise additional capital whenever conditions in the financial markets are favorable, even if the Company does not have an immediate need for additional cash at that time.
