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.
On November 4, 1996, the Company acquired the New Drug
Application, the U.S. trademark for Ethamolin Injection (the
"Ethamolin Assets") and the finished goods inventory on hand at
closing from Schwarz Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. 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.
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, CPC-111 and CPC-211, are in
various Phase II trials for cardiovascular and neurological
disorders.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements for the three and six months
ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 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 $24,570
and finished goods of $80,004.
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.
Sales are reported net of returns during the period in which
product is shipped. These sales are subsequently adjusted for
discounts and allowances due to contractual discounts on certain
pharmaceuticals under contracts with hospitals and hospital
buying groups. At January 31, 1997, such discounts and
allowances totalled $11,991.
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 1997 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 Events
On March 5, 1997, the Company entered into private placement
agreements for $5 million of the Company's Common Stock, no par
value, under SEC Regulation D. The placement was sold to two
institutions led by the President and Fellows of Harvard College.
The closing of the transaction is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of a registration statement which has been filed by
the Company covering resale of the acquired shares by the
purchasers.
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. 333-17501 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 $12,908,230 from inception through January
31, 1997. 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
Three Months Ended January 31, 1997 Versus Three Months Ended
January 31, 1996
During the quarter ended January 31, 1997, the Company reported
sales of $587,665, a 66% increase over the $353,990 reported in
the prior-year period, principally due to the acquisition of
Ethamolin, and a gross profit on sales of $452,924, a 113%
increase over the $212,646 reported in the prior-year period. As
a percent of sales, the gross margin in the current quarter was
77% compared to 60% in the prior-year period. Without the effect
of the recall of a lot of Inulin, the gross margin for the prior-
year period would have been 72%.
[For the quarter, the Company sustained a loss of $2,167,699 (or
$.19 per share), compared to a loss of $740,460 (or $.06 per
share) for the prior-year quarter, as expenses increased in all
operating areas. Sales and marketing expense increased by more
than 235% principally due to the tripling of the field sales
force, the hiring of a product manager, executive search fees
relating to these hires and increased travel expense by sales and
marketing personnel. General and administrative expense increased
more than 76% principally due to the launch of a substantial
investor relations program, the payment of 1996 and 1997 annual
product user fees to the Food and Drug Administration for Glofil
and Inulin, and increased payroll expense. Clinical testing and
regulatory expense increased more than 43% principally due to
increased enrollment at the various sites for the Phase II trials
of CPC-111 and CPC-211. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased more than 95% principally due to the amortization of
the purchased technology related to the acquisition of Ethamolin
during the current quarter.]
During the current quarter, research grant income decreased 65%,
principally due to the prior-year quarter receiving income from
a Phase II SBIR grant that was completed in September 1996. The
research and development expense for the quarter includes
expenses incurred in connection with the grant.
In addition, net interest income for the current quarter declined
more than 47% principally due to interest income received in the
prior-year quarter from fees and interest on a loan that the
Company made during that quarter which was subsequently repaid,
coupled with interest expense during the current quarter accruing
on the promissory note issued to Schwarz Pharma as part of the
acquisition of Ethamolin.
Six Months Ended January 31, 1997 Versus Six Months Ended January
31, 1996
During the six months ended January 31, 1997, the Company
reported sales of $954,796, a 65% increase over the $578,718
reported in the prior-year period, principally due to the
acquisition of Ethamolin, and a gross profit on sales of
$714,934, an 86% increase over the $383,649 reported in the prior-
year period, principally because the gross profit in the prior-
year period was adversely affected by the recall of a lot of
Inulin. As a percent of sales, the gross margin in the current
period was 75% compared to 66% in the prior-year period. Without
the effect of the recall of the Inulin lot, the gross margin for
the prior-year period would have been 74%.
[During the six months ended January 31, 1997, the Company
sustained a loss of $3,776,697 (or $.33 per share), compared to a
loss of $1,380,940 (or $.12 per share) for the prior-year period,
as expenses in all operating areas. Sales and marketing expense
increased more than 267% for the reasons set forth in the three-
month analysis above. General and administrative expense
increased 71% for the reasons set forth in the three-month
analysis above in addition to a one-time payment of $100,000 to a
financial advisor in September 1996. Clinical testing and
regulatory expense increased by more than 26% principally due to
increased payments to clinical research organizations managing
two of the Company's Phase II clinical trials and increased usage
of consultants to perform clinical monitoring, data base
management and statistical analysis functions. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased more than 61% for the reason set
forth in the three-month analysis above.]
During the current six-month period, research grant income
declined more than 52% for the reason set forth in the three-
month analysis above. The research and development expense for
the current six-month period includes expenses incurred in
connection with the SBIR grants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has principally funded its activities to date
through its initial public offering ("IPO") in November 1992,
which raised net proceeds of $5,951,000, subsequent exercises of
its Redeemable Class A Warrants in 1994 and early 1995, which
raised net proceeds of $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 net proceeds of
$1,681,000, that it had received as part of its compensation for
the IPO, and three private placements of mandatorily convertible
notes during April and July 1996, which raised $7,464,000. At
January 31, 1997, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments of $11,834,937 compared to $15,997,049 at
July 31, 1996. At January 31, 1997, working capital was
$10,205,944, compared to $15,384,449 at July 31, 1996.
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.
