and regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions, uncertainty relating to the Companys patent

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
The following unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented have been included. The
year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys
annual report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2007.

REPROS THERAPEUTICS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 Organization, Operations and Liquidity
Repros Therapeutics Inc. (the Company, or we, us or our), was organized on August 28,
1987. We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral
small molecule drugs to treat male and female reproductive disorders.
Our lead drug, Proellex®, is a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor and is being
developed for the treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis. We are
also developing Proellex as a short course pre-surgical treatment for anemia associated with
excessive menstrual bleeding related to uterine fibroids.
Our second product candidate, Androxal®, is a single isomer of clomiphene citrate and is an
orally active proprietary small molecule compound. We are developing Androxal for men of
reproductive age with low testosterone levels who want to improve or maintain their fertility
and/or sperm function while being treated for low testosterone and for men with low testosterone
and adult-onset idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (AIHH) with concomitant plasma glucose
and lipid elevations, all of which are components of Metabolic Syndrome.
We were previously developing Androxal in the United States to treat testosterone deficiency
due to secondary hypogonadism by restoring normal testosterone production in males with functional
testes and diminished pituitary function, a common condition in the aging male. At this time, we
do not believe we have a clear clinical path to develop Androxal for this indication in the United
States and although we believe Androxal could be developed outside of the U.S., due to the limited
European market for this indication and our limited internal resources, we do not intend to pursue
approval outside of the U.S. at this time.
We also continue to maintain our patent portfolio of our phentolamine-based products for the
treatment of sexual dysfunction. We continue to try to create value from these assets in various
ways which includes the potential for product out-licensing.
As of June 30, 2008, we had accumulated losses of $134.8 million and had cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities of $13.7 million. We have experienced negative cash flows
from operations since inception and have funded our activities to date primarily from equity
financings and corporate collaborations. Based on our current planned clinical programs, we will
need to raise additional capital in the fourth quarter of 2008 in order to continue our development
efforts, and there is no assurance we will be able to raise such capital.
We believe we can secure additional cash resources through the sale of our equity securities,
assuming that the results of our current ongoing clinical trials with Proellex are favorable and
financial market conditions are acceptable to the placement of our equity securities.
9
There can be
no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional capital on acceptable
terms, or at all, in amounts sufficient to continue to fund our operations and clinical product
development. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, and
depend, among other factors, on our ability to be successful in our clinical trials, the regulatory
approval process in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions and the ability to complete
new licenses and product development agreements. The timing of our revenues do not match the
timing of our associated product development expenses. To date, research and development expenses
have generally exceeded revenue in any particular period and/or fiscal year.
Our losses from Inception to date have resulted principally from costs incurred in conducting
clinical trials and in research and development activities related to efforts to develop our
products and from the associated administrative costs required to support those efforts. Under
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, a net operating loss (NOL), requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets. As the Company has incurred losses since inception, and since there is no
certainty of future profits, a valuation allowance has been provided in full on our deferred tax
assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Company has an opportunity to
use this NOL to off-set tax liabilities in the future, the use of this asset would be restricted
based on Internal Revenue Service, state and local NOL use guidelines.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Issued in February 2008, FSP 157-1 Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to
FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for
Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 removed leasing transactions
accounted for under Statement 13 and related guidance from the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP 157-2
Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157 (FSP 157-2), deferred the effective date
of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. The implementation of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and financial
liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position and results of operations. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS
No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on its consolidated financial position
and results of operations.
10
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This pronouncement
permits entities to use the fair value method to measure certain financial assets and liabilities
by electing an irrevocable option to use the fair value method at specified election dates. After
election of the option, subsequent changes in fair value would result in the recognition of
unrealized gains or losses as period costs during the period the change occurred. SFAS No. 159
becomes effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007,
with early adoption permitted. However, entities may not retroactively apply the provisions of
SFAS No. 159 to fiscal years preceding the date of adoption. We did not apply the fair value
option under SFAS 159, which is elective. We have reclassified all cash flows, related to our
trading securities, from operating to investing activities in the accompanying statement of cash
flows to reflect the nature of the investments in accordance with paragraph 16 of SFAS 159.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141R), which replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental
requirements in Statement 141 that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations. This statement further establishes principles and requirements for how the acquiring
entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
including goodwill, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS
141R also determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning
of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and the Company
cannot estimate any impact this statement may have on the Companys results of operations or
financial position as any potential business combinations after the implementation date are
unknown.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 addresses the accounting
and reporting for entities that consolidate a noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority
interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, but is not
expected to have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements as the Company does
not currently consolidate any noncontrolling interest entities.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133
by requiring expanded disclosures about an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities.
SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives,
quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative
instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative
instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company does not
expect any impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
11
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets, (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on
its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No.
162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. The implementation of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 2 Marketable Securities

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described below:
12
Basis of Fair Value Measurement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible
at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or
financial instruments for which all significant inputs are
observable, either directly or indirectly; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both
significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
|
|
|
|
|
A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of
any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the
Company first determines what level of measurements are applicable in the fair value hierarchy.
The Companys marketable securities are generally classified within level 1 or level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices or broker or dealer
quotations with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Companys money market securities,
totaling $12.7 million (included in cash equivalents) at June 30, 2008, are classified within level
1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.
The Companys investment grade bonds totaling $900,000 at June 30, 2008 are classified within
level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These instruments trade in markets that are not considered to
be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices or broker or dealer quotations with
reasonable levels of price transparency.
At December 31, 2007 the Company held $6.4 million in taxable auction rate securities (ARS).
These securities were sold or redeemed at par value from January 1, 2008 through June 18, 2008 and
as of June 30, 2008 the Company did not hold any ARS.
Valuations are adjusted if necessary to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and
such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such
evidence, managements best estimate is used.
Management determines the appropriate classification of investments in debt and equity
securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each subsequent balance
sheet date. Securities for which the Company has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are
classified as held to maturity. Securities classified as trading securities are recorded at
fair value. Gains and losses on trading securities, realized and unrealized, are included in
earnings and are calculated using the specific identification method. Any other securities are
classified as available for sale. At June 30, 2008, all securities were classified as trading
securities and were classified as current assets.
NOTE 3 Patents
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $1,414,000 in internal capitalized patent
costs reflected on its balance sheet. Of this amount, $595,000 relates to patent costs for
Proellex and $819,000 relates to patent costs for Androxal.

NOTE 5 Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the
average share price for the period and applying the treasury stock method to potentially dilutive
outstanding options. In all applicable periods, all potential common stock equivalents were
antidilutive and, accordingly, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.
The following table presents information necessary to calculate loss per share for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Such statements reflect the Companys current views with respect to future events and
financial performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking
statements. The following discussion of financial condition should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Overview
Repros Therapeutics Inc. (the Company, or we, us or our), was organized on August 28,
1987. We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral
small molecule drugs to treat male and female reproductive disorders.
Our current product pipeline consists of the following (with the respective status of
development):
Proellex® (female reproductive health)
|
|
|
Phase 3 three-month short course treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids
associated with anemia in women who may consider having a subsequent hysterectomy |
|
|
|
|
Phase 3 for the chronic treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids |
|
|
|
|
Phase 2 for the treatment of symptomatic endometriosis |
Androxal® (male reproductive health)
|
|
|
Phase 2b proof-of-concept trial in men with low testosterone levels wanting to
improve or maintain their fertility and/or sperm number and function |
|
|
|
|
Planned Phase 2b proof-of-concept trial to treat men with AIHH, with concomitant
plasma glucose elevations |
Proellex
Our lead drug, Proellex, is a selective progesterone receptor modulator (PRM) and is being
developed for the treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis. We are
also developing Proellex as a short course pre-surgical treatment for anemia associated with
excessive menstrual bleeding related to uterine fibroids. During the first quarter of 2008, we
filed an Investigational New Drug Application, or IND, for Proellex for the treatment of anemia
associated with uterine fibroids and also initiated two 65-patient Phase 3 pivotal clinical trials
with Proellex for this indication. Our goal is to file a New Drug Application, or NDA, for this
indication as soon as practicable in 2009.
15
During the first quarter of 2008, we initiated two 75-patient Phase 3 pivotal clinical trials
with Proellex for the chronic treatment of uterine fibroids and anticipate filing a NDA for this
indication in the fourth quarter of 2009. In addition, during the first quarter of 2008, we also
initiated two 400 patient Proellex Open Label Safety Studies. We intend to complete patient
enrollment for one 400 patient Open Label Safety Study then start enrollment in the second Open
Label Safety study.
The initiation of these Phase 3 clinical trials and Open Label Studies included awarding the
trials to three clinical research organizations, the process of identifying and contracting the
clinical sites to be used as well as other various activities required to complete these clinical
trials. During the second quarter of 2008 we implemented a centralized patient recruitment
advertisement campaign for our Phase 3 Proellex clinical trials and in July 2008 we have taken the
necessary steps to begin additional patient recruitment advertising for one of our 400 patient
Proellex Open Label Safety Studies.
During 2008 we disclosed the following clinical trial and animal safety data relating to
Proellex:
|
|
|
initial results from 13 women who had endometrial biopsies post menses following
last dose of drug in a two drug cycle extension study showed that results of
assessments of the post menses tissues are that of a benign endometrium. While
previous end of drug cycle biopsies from these subjects all had histological
changes consistent with those induced by progesterone receptor modulators (Proellex
class of drugs), none of these post drug cessation biopsies reflected any of those
histological changes. These key findings indicate that the effects of Proellex on
the endometrium are present during drug exposure and are reversible upon cessation
of drug treatment; |
|
|
|
|
results from a pilot study of the potential for adverse cardiac events
associated with administration of doses of Proellex up to four times higher than
the intended marketed dose showed that despite up to a four fold increase in
Proellex plasma concentrations over seven days the QTc did not change; and |
|
|
|
|
initial macroscopic findings from a two-year rat carcinogenicity study and a
six-month mouse carcinogenicity study showed no potential for tumor induction as
compared to placebo. |
To review all of the clinical development information that has been disclosed regarding our
products please go to www.reprosrx.com and also see our files at www.sec.gov.
We are also currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial with Proellex for the treatment of
endometriosis. We provided initial interim data from this trial in July 2008 which showed that
severe pain, the most troublesome symptom associated with endometriosis was significantly reduced
in one to two months of treatment.
Uterine fibroids, anemia associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis affect a
16
significant number of women of childbearing age in the developed world. There is no
currently-approved effective long-term drug treatment for uterine fibroids or endometriosis. In
the United States alone, 300,000 women per year undergo a hysterectomy as a result of severe
uterine fibroids.
In addition to the clinical trials discussed above we are also conducting other human clinical
trials and animal safety studies with Proellex to support our future NDA submissions.
Androxal
Our second product candidate, Androxal, is a single isomer of clomiphene citrate and is an
orally active proprietary small molecule compound.
During the second quarter of 2008 we initiated a Phase 2b Androxal clinical trial in men of
reproductive age with low testosterone levels who want to improve or maintain their fertility
and/or sperm function while being treated for low testosterone. This trial includes a control
group that will be given Testim®, a popular testosterone replacement therapy. We believe Androxal
will be superior to the existing drugs used to normalize testosterone as, to our knowledge, only
Androxal has the property of restoring both luteinizing hormone, or LH, and follicle stimulating
hormone, or FSH, levels. LH and FSH are the pituitary hormones that stimulate testicular
testosterone and sperm production, respectively. According to the Urology Channel, recent
estimates show that approximately 13 million men in the United States experience testosterone
deficiency.
During the second half of 2008 we intend to initiate a Phase 2b clinical trial in men with low
testosterone and adult-onset idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, or AIHH, with concomitant
plasma glucose and lipid elevations, all of which are components of metabolic syndrome. Recent
published studies in older men show a link of low testosterone with higher incidences of insulin
resistance, diabetes and consequently mortality rates. Based on a retrospective review of our
previously completed six-month clinical trial with Androxal for the treatment of low testosterone
due to secondary hypogonadism, our findings showed that Androxal therapy resulted in a significant
reduction in mean glucose levels in men with a body mass index, or BMI, greater than 26 and glucose
levels greater than 104 md/dL, an outcome not seen in the placebo or AndroGel® arms of this study.
AndroGel® is the current leading therapy for testosterone replacement.
In addition to the clinical trials discussed above we are also conducting a long-term Open
Label Safety Study and animal safety studies with Androxal to support our future NDA submissions.
We were previously developing Androxal in the United States to treat testosterone deficiency
due to secondary hypogonadism by restoring normal testosterone production in males with functional
testes and diminished pituitary function, a common condition in the aging male. Based on a Type
C meeting held with the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, on October 15, 2007 we do not
believe we have a clear clinical path to develop Androxal for this indication in the United States
at this time. Although we believe Androxal could be developed outside of the United States, due to
the limited European market for this indication and our limited
internal resources we do not intend
to pursue approval outside of the United
States at this time.
17
Our Androxal product candidate and its uses are covered in the United States by two issued
U.S. patents and seven pending patent applications. Foreign coverage of our Androxal product
candidate includes eight issued foreign patents and 68 foreign pending patent applications. The
issued patents and pending applications relate to methods and compositions for treating certain
conditions including the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men, the treatment of metabolic
syndrome and conditions associated therewith, and the treatment of infertility in hypogonadal men.
Androxal (the trans-isomer of clomiphene) is purified from clomiphene citrate. A third party
individual holds two issued patents related to the use of an anti-estrogen such as clomiphene
citrate and others for use in the treatment of androgen deficiency and disorders related thereto.
In our prior filings with the SEC, we have described our request to the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office, or PTO, for re-examination of one of these patents based on prior art. The third party
amended the claims in the reexamination proceedings, which led the PTO to determine that the
amended claims are patentable in view of those publications under consideration and a reexamination
certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended claims are invalid based on
additional prior art publications, and our request for reexamination by the PTO in light of a
number of these additional publications and other publications cited by the PTO, has been granted.
In November, 2007, the PTO issued a final Office action, rejecting all of the claims. In January,
2008, the patent holder responded to the final Office action. In February, 2008, the PTO issued an
Advisory Action stating that the patent holders response failed to overcome the rejections. The
patent holder filed an Appeal Brief on April 11, 2008. The Examiner has filed an Answer
maintaining the rejections. We also believe that the second of these two patents is invalid in
view of published prior art not considered by the PTO. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that
either patent will ultimately be found invalid over the prior art. If such patents are not
invalidated by the PTO we may be required to obtain a license from the holder of such patents in
order to develop Androxal further or attempts may be made to undertake further legal action to
invalidate such patents. If such licenses were not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we
may not be able to successfully commercialize Androxal.
General
We continue to maintain our patent portfolio of our phentolamine-based products for the
treatment of sexual dysfunction.
The clinical development of pharmaceutical products is a complex undertaking, and many
products that begin the clinical development process do not obtain regulatory approval. The costs
associated with our clinical trials may be impacted by a number of internal and external factors,
including the number and complexity of clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval, the
number of eligible patients necessary to complete our clinical trials and any difficulty in
enrolling these patients, and the length of time to complete our clinical trials. Given the
uncertainty of these potential costs, we recognize that the total costs we will incur for the
clinical development of our product candidates may exceed our current estimates. We do, however,
expect these costs to increase substantially in future periods as we continue
later-stage clinical development trials. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in
obtaining, regulatory approvals could cause our research
18
and development expenditures to increase
and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We have not generated any substantial revenue from commercial sale of our current product
candidates. We will not receive any revenue from commercial sales unless we, or a potential
partner, complete the clinical trial development process, obtain regulatory approval, and
successfully commercialize one or more of our product candidates. We cannot be certain when or if
any of our current product candidates will ever generate cash flow.
As of June 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $134.8 million. Losses have resulted
principally from costs incurred in conducting clinical trials and in research and development
activities related to efforts to develop our products and from the associated administrative costs
required to support those efforts. Under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, a net
operating loss (NOL) requires the recognition of deferred tax assets. As the Company has
incurred losses since inception, and since there is no certainty of future profits, a valuation
allowance has been provided in full on our deferred tax assets in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. If the Company has an opportunity to use this NOL to off-set tax liabilities
in the future, the use of this asset would be restricted based on Internal Revenue Service, state
and local NOL use guidelines.
We have 7 full-time employees who utilize the services of contract research organizations,
contract manufacturers and various consultants to assist us in performing clinical and regulatory
services for the clinical development of our products as well as administrative services. We are
substantially dependent on our various contract groups to adequately perform the activities
required to obtain regulatory approval of our products as well as other consultants that perform
various administrative services.
Our results of operations may vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter, and
depend, among other factors, on our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at
all, on our ability to be successful in our clinical trials, the regulatory approval process in the
United States and other foreign jurisdictions and the ability to complete new licenses and product
development agreements. The timing of our revenues may not match the timing of our associated
product development expenses. To date, research and development expenses have generally exceeded
revenue in any particular period and/or fiscal year.
On July 28, 2008, the Company and Efficacy Capital, LTD (Efficacy) entered into an amendment
(the Amendment) effective March 13, 2008 to a Standstill Agreement (the Standstill
Agreement) dated as of January 9, 2008 by and between the Company and Efficacy to provide that the
Standstill Agreement will remain in effect until the first to occur of the date on which the
aggregate beneficial ownership by Efficacy of the Companys common stock is less than the greater
of fifteen percent (15%) of the then-outstanding common stock of the Company or 2,200,000 shares or
certain other specified events.
On July 3, 2008, Efficacy paid $327,320 to the Company as disgorgement of short swing profits
under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act as a result of certain inadvertent sales by Efficacy that
occurred in March 2008 and that were within six months of certain purchases by
Efficacy. The amount received from Efficacy will be reported as additional paid in capital in the third quarter.
Efficacy is an affiliate of the Company as a result of its beneficial ownership of
more than 10% of the Companys common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Issued in February 2008, FSP 157-1 Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to
FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for
Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 removed leasing transactions
accounted for under Statement 13 and related guidance from the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP 157-2
Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157 (FSP 157-2), deferred the effective date
of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. The implementation of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and financial
liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position and results of operations. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS
No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on its consolidated financial position
and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This pronouncement
permits entities to use the fair value method to measure certain financial assets and liabilities
by electing an irrevocable option to use the fair value method at specified election dates. After
election of the option, subsequent changes in fair value would result in the recognition of
unrealized gains or losses as period costs during the period the change occurred. SFAS No. 159
becomes effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007,
with early adoption permitted. However, entities may not retroactively apply the provisions of
SFAS No. 159 to fiscal years preceding the date of adoption. We did not apply the fair value
option under SFAS 159, which is elective. We have reclassified all cash flows, related to our
trading securities, from operating to investing activities in the accompanying statement of cash
flows to reflect the nature of the investments in accordance with paragraph 16 of SFAS 159.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141R), which replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental
requirements in Statement 141 that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations. This statement further establishes principles and requirements for how the acquiring
entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
including goodwill, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS
141R also determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning
of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and we cannot
estimate any impact this statement may have on our results of operations or financial position as
any potential business
combinations after the implementation date are unknown.
20
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 addresses the accounting
and reporting for entities that consolidate a noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority
interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, but is not
expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements as we do not currently
consolidate any noncontrolling interest entities.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133
by requiring expanded disclosures about an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities.
SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives,
quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative
instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative
instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company does not
expect any impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets, (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on
its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No.
162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. The implementation of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Results of Operations
Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Revenues and Other Income. Total revenues and other income for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2008 decreased to $91,000 as compared to $442,000 for the same period in the prior year
and decreased to $359,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $759,000 for
the same period in the prior year.
Interest income decreased 79% to $91,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as
compared to $442,000 for the same period in the prior year and decreased 53% to $359,000 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $759,000 for the same
period in the prior year. The decrease in interest income for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily due to
lower combined cash,
21
cash equivalents and marketable securities balances and reduced interest rate
yields.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development (R&D) expenses primarily
include clinical regulatory affairs activities and preclinical and clinical study development
expenses. R&D expenses increased 71% to approximately $5.5 million for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to approximately $3.2 million for the same period in the prior year
and increased 87% to approximately $11.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to $6.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in R&D expenses for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior year is
primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million in our current clinical and preclinical activities and
an increase in consulting expenses of $132,000, partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing
activities of $435,000. The increase in R&D expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008
as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to an increase of $5.9 million in
our current clinical and preclinical activities and an increase in consulting expenses of $206,000,
partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing activities of $785,000.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 13% to
$689,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $609,000 for the same period
in the prior year and remained constant at approximately $1.5 million for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The increase in expenses for the three-month period ended June 30,
2008 as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to an increase in
professional services of $106,000 and an increase in personnel costs of $33,000, partially offset
by a decrease in non-cash stock compensation expense of $20,000. Although the expenses for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 remained constant, there was a decrease in non-cash
stock compensation expense of $117,000, partially offset by an increase in professional services of
$96,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from public
offerings and private placements of equity securities and with funds received under collaborative
agreements. We completed a public offering on February 5, 2007 of 2,610,000 shares of our common
stock at a purchase price of $13.75 per share resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately
$33.1 million. This public offering utilized 2,610,000 shares under our effective Form S-3 shelf
registration statement which still has 2,000,000 shares available out of the original 5,000,000
shares registered.
Net cash of approximately $11.9 million was used in operating activities during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $7.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The
major uses of cash for operating activities during the first half of 2008 was to fund our clinical
development programs and associated administrative costs of $12.8 million, net of interest income,
partially offset by an increase in our accrued liabilities.
We had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $13.7 million
as of June 30, 2008 as compared to $25.9 million as of December 31, 2007. As of June 30,
2008, we had accumulated losses of $134.8 million. We have experienced negative cash flows from
operations
22
since inception and have funded our activities to date primarily from equity financings
and corporate collaborations. We will require substantial funds for research and development,
including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, and to commence sales
and marketing efforts if appropriate, if the FDA or other regulatory approvals are obtained. Based
on our current planned clinical programs, we will need to raise additional capital in the fourth
quarter of 2008 in order to continue our development efforts. Therefore, there is substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. It is also
possible that our current clinical trial activities will be more costly and take longer than we
anticipate; accordingly, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be necessary
prior to the time anticipated.
We believe we can secure additional cash resources through the sale of our equity securities
in an amount sufficient to continue our currently planned clinical programs assuming that the
results of our current ongoing clinical trials with Proellex are favorable and financial market
conditions are acceptable to the placement of our equity securities. There can be
no assurance that our current clinical trial activities will not be more costly and take longer
than we anticipate; accordingly, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be
necessary prior to the time anticipated.
Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the costs and timing of
seeking regulatory approvals of our products; the problems, delays, expenses and complications
frequently encountered by development stage companies; the progress of our preclinical and clinical
activities; the costs associated with any future collaborative research, manufacturing, marketing
or other funding arrangements; our ability to obtain regulatory approvals; the success of our
potential future sales and marketing programs; the cost of filing, prosecuting and defending and
enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; changes in economic, regulatory
or competitive conditions of our planned business; and additional costs associated with being a
publicly-traded company. Estimates about the adequacy of funding for our activities are based on
certain assumptions, including the assumption that our cash equivalents and investments will be
sold at their current fair values ($13.6 million); that the development and regulatory approval of
our products can be completed at projected costs; and that product approvals and introductions will
be timely and successful. There can be no assurance that changes in our research and development
plans, acquisitions or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures. To
satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to raise additional funds in the public or private
capital markets. We may seek additional funding through corporate collaborations and other
financing vehicles. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on
favorable terms or at all. If we are successful in obtaining additional financing, the terms of
such financing may have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of
holders of our common stock. Because of the above factors, there is substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. See Item 1A. Risk
Factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Note 1. Organization and
Operations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk. Cash, cash equivalents and investments were approximately $13.7
23
million at
June 30, 2008. These assets were primarily invested in money market funds and investment grade
corporate bonds with maturities of less than 18 months, which are classified as Trading Securities.
We do not invest in derivative securities. Although our portfolio is subject to fluctuations in
interest rates and market conditions, no significant gain or loss on any security is expected to be
recognized in earnings.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the Exchange Act), are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation described above, we identified no change in internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
