Proellex
Product and Clinical Development Overview
Our lead drug, Proellex®, is a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor. We are
developing Proellex for three indications: 1) anemia associated with uterine fibroids, 2) chronic
treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and 3) chronic treatment of symptoms
associated with endometriosis.
The National Uterine Fibroid Foundation estimates that as many as 80% of all women in the
United States have uterine fibroids, and one in four of these women have symptoms severe enough to
require treatment. According to The Endometriosis Association, endometriosis affects 5.5 million
women in the United States and Canada and millions more worldwide.
The current standards of care for uterine fibroids, anemia associated with uterine fibroids
and endometriosis include surgery and treatment with drugs. The most effective drugs on the market
are gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists, or GnRH agonists, such as Lupron® (leuprolide
acetate). GnRH is a peptide hormone that plays an important role in the regulation of the human
reproductive system. Chronic administration of GnRH agonists reduce the number of GnRH receptors
and thereby block the action of GnRH and its activity in stimulating the pituitary to secrete FSH
and LH.
GnRH agonists induce a low estrogen, menopausal-like state in women. Because estrogen is
necessary for the maintenance of bone mineral density, GnRH agonists tend to promote bone loss and
are not recommended to be used for more than six months at a time. When women cease treatment with
GnRH agonists, fibroids generally regenerate rapidly in the case of uterine fibroids and symptoms
associated with endometriosis generally reappear quickly in the case of endometriosis.
-2-
We believe Proellex may have advantages in treating uterine fibroids, anemia associated with
uterine fibroids and endometriosis compared to treatment with GnRH agonists. In our clinical
trials, which are consistent with our preclinical studies, women treated with Proellex maintain
physiological estrogen levels. Therefore, we believe Proellex treatment may not result in estrogen
deprivation mediated loss of bone mineral density. We believe Proellex may provide an attractive
alternative to surgery because of its potential to treat these conditions in a long-term or chronic
fashion, resolving the symptoms that most commonly lead to surgical treatment.
Proellex is a new chemical entity which is required to comply and meet full regulatory
approval requirements which include pre-clinical animal safety studies; Phase 1, Phase 2 and
Pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials; long-term Open Label Safety Studies; manufacturing related
activities as well as other requirements requested by the FDA to receive marketing approval for
each of our disease indications. In addition, the FDA may request additional previously
unanticipated clinical data before approval can be obtained.
All clinical trial results are subject to review by the FDA, and the FDA may disagree with our
conclusions about safety and efficacy. We caution that the results discussed herein are based on
data from non-pivotal trials and that our pivotal Phase 3 and long-term Open Label Safety Study
data may not agree with these results which will be based upon a significantly larger and more
diverse patient population treated for longer periods of time.
We currently do not have reliable estimates regarding the timing of our Proellex clinical
trials. The length of time required to complete Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials and
long-term open label safety studies may vary substantially according to factors relating to the
particular clinical trial, such as the type and intended use of the drug candidate, the clinical
trial design and the ability to enroll suitable patients. We have had difficulty recruiting
patients into our Proellex clinical trials primarily due to the various test procedures that are
required for a patient to be treated for these three indications,
which includes multiple endometrial biopsies.
In addition, the protocol for patients being treated for anemia associated with uterine fibroids
who may elect to have hysterectomies post treatment have encountered both patients and
doctors not wanting to be a part of those clinical trials due to this requirement. We have
recently removed this requirement and will leave this procedure up to the patient and their
physician. Notwithstanding the uncertainty described above, we currently estimate completion of
our Proellex projects and the submission of a New Drug Application, or NDA, under the following
timelines:

Anemia Associated with Uterine Fibroids
We filed a new IND for Proellex as a pre-surgical short-course treatment of anemia associated
with uterine fibroids which became effective in February 2008. We initiated this new clinical
indication with Proellex based upon the results observed from a subset of anemic patients in our
U.S. Phase 2 trial with Proellex for the treatment of uterine fibroids which was completed in 2007.
In that study, women with hemoglobin levels of less than 11.5 g/dl improved by up to 2 g/dl, or
the equivalent of two pints of blood, after three months of treatment with Proellex. Even though
only approximately 15-17 patients per active treatment arm were able to be evaluated for anemia,
the improvement of hemoglobin in Proellex-treated subjects was both clinically and statistically
highly significant (p<0.002) compared with placebo. Oral iron supplements for correction of
anemia were used by a similar number of women in the placebo and 25 mg Proellex arms of the trial.
A slightly higher percentage of women in the Proellex 12.5 mg arm used oral iron supplements. This
suggests that reversal of the anemia with Proellex treatment was largely due to the very effective
prevention of severe blood loss experienced by these patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids.
Current Phase 3 Trials. In the first quarter of 2008 we contracted two clinical
research organizations, or CROs, to conduct our registration Phase 3 pivotal clinical trials
(ZPU-301 and ZPU-302) and began selecting the clinical sites to conduct these trials. We recently
revamped this clinical program by engaging additional investigator
sites as a means of completing these studies as quickly as practicable.
We are currently conducting these Phase 3 Pivotal clinical trials in both the U.S. and Latin
America. These trials consist of three parallel arms each consisting of placebo, 25 and 50 mg
Proellex. Each trial will enroll 65 patients unevenly distributed between placebo (15 patients)
and 25 and 50 mg Proellex (25 patients each). Patients are being treated with Proellex or placebo
for three months. The primary endpoint of both of these clinical trials is improvement in
hemoglobin concentration. All patients will receive a fixed dose of daily iron supplementation as
well. All patients that complete these two Pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials are now eligible to
enroll in a 12-month Open Label Safety study (ZPU-307).
Development Plan. In addition to our Phase 3 pivotal trials listed above, the FDA will
require data from 100 patients that have been exposed to Proellex for a six-month period. Our goal
is to file a NDA for Proellex for the treatment of anemia associated with uterine fibroids in 2010.
Such filing depends on a variety of factors, including the timing of enrollment of patients in our
two clinical
-3-
trials as well as the outcome and results of such clinical trials. We will also have to
provide the FDA with data from additional Phase 1 studies, other safety and efficacy data as
requested, preclinical safety data and meet all manufacturing requirements. No assurance can be
given that such filing will be made at such time or at all.
Symptomatic
Uterine Fibroids Chronic Management
We completed a Phase 2 clinical trial (ZPU-003) with Proellex for the treatment of uterine
fibroids during 2007. This study consisted of 128 patients in a randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled trial. The analysis of the clinical trial data demonstrated statistically
significant reductions in excessive menstrual bleeding and an improvement in quality of life scores
versus placebo. Furthermore, after three months of treatment, no statistically significant change
in endometrial thickness was observed and 48 women consenting to
endometrial biopsy had no evidence of hyperplasia with atypia the
diagnosis in all being benign endometrium by WHO criteria. This trial was designed to assess both improvement of
symptoms associated with uterine fibroids as well as effects on the actual fibroids. The three-arm
trial compared two doses of Proellex, 12.5 mg and 25 mg, to placebo over a 3-month period. The
primary endpoint was a reduction in excessive menstrual bleeding, a common symptom of uterine
fibroids. This endpoint was assessed using a visual analog scale known as the Pictorial Blood Loss
Assessment Chart, or PBAC. Various other symptoms associated with fibroids were assessed using the
validated Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life, or UFS-QOL, questionnaire. Patients that
completed the blinded portion of this clinical trial were enrolled into a 12-month Open Label
Safety extension study (ZPU-003ext).
Current Phase 3 Trials. As a result of a Type B meeting with the FDA at the end of
November 2007, two registration Phase 3 (ZPU-303 and ZPU-304) pivotal four-month double blind
placebo controlled clinical trials with Proellex for the treatment of uterine fibroids were
initiated in the first quarter of 2008. At that time we contracted two CROs to conduct these
registration Phase 3 Pivotal clinical trials and began selecting the clinical sites that will
conduct these trials. We recently revamped this clinical program to
increase the number of investigator sites as a means of completing these studies as quickly as
practicable.
We are currently conducting these Phase 3 Pivotal clinical trials in both the U.S. and Latin
America. These trials consist of three parallel arms each consisting of placebo, 25 and 50 mg
Proellex. Each trial is scheduled to enroll 75 patients evenly distributed between placebo, 25 and
50 mg Proellex. Patients are being treated with Proellex or placebo for four months.
Current and Upcoming Open Label Safety Studies. We are currently
conducting a second small
12-month Open Label Safety extension study (ZPU-003ext 2) with patients from our previously completed
U.S. Phase 2 (ZPU-003) clinical trial.
We also initiated two 400-patient long-term Open Label Safety Studies during the first quarter
of 2008. We contracted one CRO to conduct both studies that will enroll patient in the U.S. as
well as Latin America.
The first long-term 400-patient Open Label Safety Study (ZPU-305) is a twelve-month on drug
study which will incorporate two off-drug intervals between three four-month drug treatment
periods. After patients complete a four-month course of treatment, they will be taken off the drug
until they menstruate normally before commencing further treatment. Then they will begin the next
four-month drug treatment until three drug treatments have been completed. We began randomizing
patients into this study during 2008 and we continue to randomize patients into this clinical
trial.
The second long-term 400-patient Open Label Safety Study (ZPU-306) will enroll patients after
the initial 400-patient Open Label Safety Study (ZPU-305) has been fully recruited. This study
will consist of two four-month drug treatment periods, separated by one off-drug interval. After
patients complete a four-month course of treatment they will be taken off the drug until their
symptoms return and then they will begin the final four-month drug treatment period. We anticipate
patient randomization to begin during the second half of 2009 for this clinical trial.
Development Plan. In addition to our ongoing two Pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials, the
FDA will require data from 200 patients that have been exposed to Proellex for one year with the
final duration of drug exposure to be determined as data from ongoing trials continues to evolve.
We will also need to provide the FDA with data from approximately 300 to 600 patients that have
been on Proellex for six months. The FDA has suggested a total safety data base of 1,500 patients
which may be derived from all of our trials and studies of Proellex for all indications, doses and
durations of exposure.
We
anticipate that a NDA for this indication will be filed in late 2010 or 2011. Such filing
depends on a variety of factors, including the timing of enrollment of patients in the two pivotal
clinical and open label safety trials described above, as well as the outcome and results of the
trials. We will also incorporate any data submitted in the NDA for the anemia associated with
uterine fibroids indication into this NDA submission as well as any other additional data that the
FDA may require. No assurance can be given that such filing will be made at such time or at all.
Endometriosis
Recent Phase 2 Trial. During February 2009, we reported data from our recently
completed U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial (ZPE-201) with Proellex for the treatment of endometriosis.
This trial was conducted in the United States and was designed to assess the
-4-
improvement of symptoms associated with endometriosis. The trial tested two doses of
Proellex, 25mg and 50mg, as a once-a-day oral therapy versus placebo in a double-blind design and
was four-months in duration. The trial utilized a daily diary into which patients recorded their
endometriosis symptom scores as a primary endpoint. Per a request from the FDA, the diary was
derived from the symptom section of the previously validated Biberoglu and Behrman Symptom Score,
or BBSS.
The endometrium, or lining of the uterus, was monitored monthly using ultrasound and
endometrial biopsies which was done at baseline and the end of four-month treatment exposure. The
four-month duration of the trial is similar to the duration of treatment in previously conducted
trials with Proellex. After the double-blind treatment period,
patients will roll over to an Open Label Safety Extension Study
(ZPE-201 ext) on Proellex 25 mg with the option to up-titrate to
50 mg if symptoms are not adequately controlled. This
extension study will allow these completed patients to be treated for two additional four-month
cycles with an intervening menstruation between each cycle if symptoms recur.
Doses used in this trial were previously tested in a 24-week clinical trial (ZPE-002) with
Proellex for the treatment of endometriosis in 40 patients which was conducted in Bulgaria. The
trial compared Proellex to Lucrin®, also known as Lupron®, an approved GnRH agonist, commonly used
to treat the symptoms associated with endometriosis. The 50mg dose of Proellex achieved
statistical significance (p=0.0012) when compared to Lucrin in reducing the number of days of
pelvic abdominal pain over the course of the trial. In addition, a statistically significant
greater percentage of patients had a reduction in pain in the 50 mg treatment arm compared with the
other treatments. There was no statistical difference between the 25 mg dose of Proellex and
Lucrin. There was a clear dose response in the Proellex treatment groups, and Proellex was well
tolerated over the course of the trial.
Development Plan. We are preparing to request an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA
that we anticipate could occur mid-year 2009. Pending positive FDA outcome from that meeting and
acceptance of clinical protocols, we plan to initiate registration Phase 3 pivotal trials as soon
as practicable. We estimate the filing of a NDA for endometriosis in late 2010-2011. Such filings
depend on a variety of factors, including the timing of enrollment of patients in the trials as
well as the outcome and results of the trials. No assurance can be given that such filings will be
made at such time or at all.
Management of Increasing Endometrial Thickening and Uterine Bleeding
During the six-month study of endometriosis in Bulgaria (ZPE-002) it was observed that the
development of endometrial thickening was dependent on duration of exposure and the dose that was
used. In summary, the lower the dose and the longer the exposure beyond 4 months, the greater the
risk became for endometrial thickening and severe uterine bleeding. Four instances of severe
bleeding, all managed successfully by intervention with Dilatation and Curettage, occurred after 5
months. In addition there was a very strong tendency for endometrial thickening to occur in the
12.5 mg dose by month three of exposure. These results were corroborated by the fact that none of
the 127 women in the U.S. Phase 2 (ZPU-003) uterine fibroid study, who were exposed to treatment
for 3 months, had similar events. The increase in endometrial thickening correlates well with the
development of cystic dilatation of the glands in the endometrium which has been observed
histologically on endometrial biopsy. These observations have led Repros to develop a proactive
strategy to manage these events. A dosing regimen consisting of sequential four-month treatment
cycles, each followed by an off drug interval, in order to refresh the endometrium after a
withdrawal bleed has occurred, has been developed and we believe this treatment regimen will allow
Proellex® to be used in a safe and practical manner for longer term treatment exposures and
subsequently avoid the development of endometrial thickening with the attendant risk of severe
bleeding.
Androxal
Product Overview
Our second product candidate, Androxal® (the trans isomer of clomiphene) is a single isomer of
clomiphene citrate and is an orally active proprietary small molecule compound. 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 FDA, on October 15, 2007 we believe that we do not have a clear clinical path to
develop Androxal for this indication in the U.S. at this time. 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 intend to development 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. In addition, we received guidance from the FDA in November 2008 suggesting
submission of a new IND to the Division of Metabolic and Endocrine Products, or DMEP, for the
investigation of Androxal as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes.
We plan to submit a new IND for this indication to the DMEP as soon
as practicable. This new indication replaces our previously announced plan to develop Androxal in
men with adult-onset idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, or AIHH, with concomitant plasma
glucose and lipid elevations, all of which are components of Metabolic Syndrome.
-5-
Data relating to the findings of Androxals beneficial effect on fertility and as a treatment
for AIHH associated with glucose and lipid dysregulation was discovered after a retrospective
review of our clinical data from our 200 patient non-pivotal U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial. Our
findings showed that Androxal therapy resulted in a significant reduction in mean glucose levels in
men with a body mass index, or BMI, >26 and glucose levels >104 mg/dL, an outcome not seen in
the placebo or AndroGel® arms of this study. AndroGel is the current leading therapy for
testosterone replacement. Men with AIHH are characterized as having both low testosterone and LH,
often accompanied by obesity and elevated blood glucose, among other signs. Our clinical trial
data suggests that Androxal modifies the endocrinologic profile in terms of both hormones and
glucose. There can be no assurance that clinical trials performed for these two new indications
will be successful.
We believe Androxal may have advantages over current therapies for the treatment of low
testosterone due to secondary hypogonadism because it is designed as an oral therapy that acts
centrally to restore normal testosterone function in the body, as compared to currently approved
products that simply replace diminished testosterone either through injections, nasal spray or the
application of a gel or cream containing testosterone over a large percentage of body area. The
administration of replacement testosterone has been linked to numerous potential adverse effects,
including shrinkage of the testes. We believe that Androxal may not cause these adverse effects to
the extent that such other replacement therapies do.
We believe Androxal will be superior to the existing administration of exogenous testosterone
products used to normalize testosterone as only Androxal has the property of restoring both LH and
FSH levels. LH and FSH are the pituitary hormones that stimulate testicular testosterone and sperm
production, respectively.
Testosterone is an important male hormone. Testosterone deficiency in men is linked to
several negative physical and mental conditions, including loss of muscle tone, reduced sexual
desire, and deterioration of memory and certain other cognitive functions. Testosterone production
normally decreases as men age, sometimes leading to testosterone deficiency. According to the
Urology Channel, recent estimates show that approximately 13 million men in the United States
experience testosterone deficiency. The leading therapy is AndroGel, a commercially available
testosterone replacement cream marketed by Solvay Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of low
testosterone, which had reported sales of approximately $282 million in 2005 in North America.
Based on our own clinical trial screening data, we believe over 70% of men that have low
testosterone suffer from secondary hypogonadism, caused by failure of the pituitary to provide
appropriate hormone signaling to the testes, which we believe causes testosterone levels to drop to
the point where pituitary secretions fall under the influence of estrogen. In this state, we also
believe that estrogen further suppresses the testicular stimulation from the pituitary. These men
are readily distinguished from those that have primary testicular failure via assessment of the
levels of secretions of pituitary hormones (i.e., men with primary testicular failure experience
elevated secretions of pituitary hormones). Secondary hypogonadism is not relegated only to older
men although the condition becomes more prevalent as men age.
Androxal is considered a new chemical entity by the FDA which means that the compound will be
required to undergo the full regulatory approval process. We must still meet additional clinical
requirements including pre-clinical, Phase 1, Phase 2b trials, pivotal Phase 3 trials, long-term
Open Label Safety Studies as well as other requirements. Although Androxal is considered a new
chemical entity for purposes of requirements for approval, it is closely related chemically to the
drug, Clomid®, which is approved for use in women to treat certain infertility disorders. The FDA
has indicated that testicular tumors, gynecomastia and adverse ophthalmologic events, which have
been reported in males taking Clomid, are potential risks that should be included in informed
consent forms for our Androxal clinical trials. We do not believe that Androxal will present with
the same adverse events given its accelerated half-life in the human body as compared to Clomid.
In our preclinical studies and our clinical trials to date, we have observed no evidence of any of
these events except for certain ophthalmologic events in our preclinical dog study at doses
significantly higher than those administered in the clinical trials.
All clinical trial results are subject to review by the FDA, and the FDA may disagree with our
conclusions about safety and efficacy. We caution that the results discussed herein are based on
data from non-pivotal trials and that our Phase 2b trials, pivotal Phase 3 and long-term Open Label
Safety Trial data may not agree with these results which will be based upon significantly larger
and more diverse patient populations treated for longer periods of time.
Secondary Hypogonadism with Fertility Maintenance/Improvement
During the second quarter of 2008, we initiated a 24-patient Phase 2b proof-of-concept
clinical trial (ZA-201) for a new indication in which we are monitoring the effects of Androxal on
male fertility and testicular function in patients being treated for low testosterone as compared
to Testim®, a popular marketed topical testosterone medication. We anticipate holding an end of
Phase 2 meeting with the FDA during the second half of 2009. At this time it is too early in the
clinical development process to estimate when or even if a NDA will be filed with Androxal for this
indication.

Type 2 Diabetes
In April 2008, we submitted a White Paper, based on the results from a previously conducted
non-pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial (ZA-003) with Androxal® for the treatment of testosterone
deficiency due to secondary hypogonadism, to the Division of Reproductive and Urology Products. The
data we believe demonstrated that in subjects with a serum glucose of greater than or equal to
105mg/dL, there was a statistically significant reduction in fasting serum glucose and a higher
response rate to treatment in the Androxal®-group than the placebo or Androgel® groups. In November
2008, after the FDA reviewed this paper we received guidance from them suggesting that we open a
new IND with the Division of Metabolic and Endocrine Products, or DMEP, for the investigation of
Androxal as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. We plan to submit a new IND for
this indication to the DMEP in the first half of 2009. We anticipate conducting a Phase 2b
proof-of-concept clinical trial with Androxal after feedback from the FDA. At this time it is too
early in the clinical development process to estimate when or even if a NDA will be filed with
Androxal for this indication. This new indication replaces our previously announced plan to
develop Androxal in men with adult-onset idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, or AIHH, with
concomitant plasma glucose and lipid elevations, all of which are components of Metabolic Syndrome.
Secondary Hypogonadism
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 FDA on October 15, 2007 we believe that we do not have a clear clinical
path to develop Androxal for this indication in the U.S. at this time. 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.
During 2008, we continued our Androxal long-term Open Label Safety Study (ZA-003ext) for the
treatment of low testosterone due to secondary hypogonadism and preclinical animal safety studies
that we believe can be used to support potential future Androxal clinical NDA regulatory
submissions.
Other Products
We continue limited out-licensing efforts for our phentolamine-based product candidates,
including VASOMAX®, which had previously been approved for marketing in several countries in Latin
America for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction under the brand name, Z-Max. VASOMAX is
currently on partial clinical hold in the U.S.
Business Strategy
Our business strategy is to concentrate our resources on the clinical development of Proellex
for uterine fibroids, anemia associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis in order to achieve
commercialization as soon as practicable. In addition, we are accumulating safety results from all
three Proellex indications in order to expedite the development of Proellex. Secondarily we are
continuing to pursue proof-of-concept clinical trials of Androxal for treatment of patients that
want to maintain their fertility while being
treated for testosterone deficiency and also to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. We intend to expand the development of Androxal after
receiving the proper feedback from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, once our Phase 2b
proof-of-concept clinical trials are completed and when funding permits.
We continue to utilize third party clinical regulatory organizations for assistance with our
clinical development programs for both drugs; however, we anticipate adding certain critical
functions, including but not limited to employees experienced in drug commercialization, during the
next several years as the products complete their clinical development programs in order to be able
to commence product sales efforts in the event FDA approval is achieved. We will continue to
explore corporate partner opportunities for assistance in the clinical development and
commercialization of our products or for capital funding, as appropriate.
Research and Development
We have limited resources and utilize consultants and outside entities to perform clinical
development and limited research activities in connection with preclinical studies and clinical
trials. Our primary research and development, or R&D, expenses for 2008 were for the
payment of
contract research organizations and consultants in connection with our clinical trials of Proellex
for the treatment of uterine fibroids, endometriosis and for Androxal for testosterone deficiency.
We believe that these expenses will continue to be our primary R&D expenses in the near future.
Proellex License Agreement with National Institutes of Health
In 1999, we licensed rights to Proellex from the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, under
an exclusive, worldwide license in the field of treatment of human endocrinologic pathologies or
conditions in steroid sensitive tissues which expires upon the expiration of
-7-
the last licensed patent. Under the terms of the agreement, we are obligated to meet
developmental milestones as outlined in a commercial development plan. This development plan
outlines a preclinical and clinical program leading to the stated objective of submitting an NDA
for regulatory approval of Proellex for a first indication by June 30, 2009. We have requested a
meeting with the NIH to defer such date along with certain other milestones prior to such deadline.
Although we believe we have a good working relationship with the NIH and even though the NIH has
amended our agreement on several other occasions, no assurances can be given that such date or
milestones will be revised.
We provide annual updates to the NIH on the progress of our development of Proellex. Based on
our interaction with the NIH to date, we believe our license and relationship with NIH are in good
standing. The NIH has the ability to terminate the agreement for lack of payment or if we are not
meeting milestones as outlined in the commercial development plan and for other reasons as outlined
in the agreement. Although we believe that we have a good working relationship with the NIH, there
can be no assurance that all of the objectives and conditions in the commercial development plan
will be met on a timely basis or at all, or that, if we fail to meet any of such objectives, the
NIH will again agree to amend this agreement to our satisfaction. Failure to comply with the
material terms contained in the license agreement could result in termination of such agreement,
which would prohibit us from further development of Proellex and severely harm our business
prospects. The NIH retains, on behalf of the government, a nonexclusive, nontransferable,
worldwide license to practice the inventions licensed under the licensed patents by or on behalf of
the government. For the purpose of encouraging basic research, the NIH retains the right to grant
nonexclusive research licenses to third parties. Due to the work that was done on Proellex at the
NIH prior to our license agreement, the government also has certain rights to use the product in
the event of a national emergency pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Laws Amendments Act of 1980,
as amended.
Manufacturing
Currently, we do not have the ability internally to manufacture the product candidates that we
need to conduct our clinical trials. In 2006, we entered into a development and supply contract
with Gedeon Richter for the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, for
Proellex due to their extensive experience in the manufacture of similar compounds and the cost
savings they offered compared to other qualified manufacturers. Pursuant to the terms of this
supply contract, we are required, with certain limited exceptions, to purchase all of our future
requirements of Proellex from this single supplier for a period of five years after the first sale
of Proellex in the United States, to the extent that such supplier is able to satisfy our
requirements. The contract may be terminated by either party for failure to remedy a default of
any material provision of the contract. Should the contract be terminated for any reason, we would
in all likelihood be required to obtain the API from an alternate manufacturer which may increase
the costs associated with our clinical trials and result in delays to our clinical trial program
for Proellex.
In addition, under a December 2008 Purchase Request, we committed to the purchase of $3
million of the bulk active ingredient of Proellex which is to be produced under a new scaled-up
amended manufacturing process by Gedeon Richter. Under this Purchase Request we are obligated to
make four payments of $750,000 each aggregating $3 million which are expected to be made during
2009, assuming that the manufacturer meets the criteria of the Purchase Request. We expect to
receive this material in the fourth quarter of 2009 and recognize the expense associated with this
purchase when this material is received from the manufacturer. This Purchase Request contains
certain provisions in which any dollars paid to this manufacturer under the Purchase Request will
be returned if the manufacturer cannot meet their obligations under this Purchase Request by March
31, 2010. This Purchase Request also provides that the payment criteria and terms of the purchase
shall be amended if the new terms are agreed to by both parties.
We have a five year supply agreement with Diagnostic Chemical Limited, doing business as
BioVectra, for the supply of the bulk active pharmaceutical ingredient used in Androxal. We have
obtained all of our supply of Androxal to date from BioVectra. We have not faced any material
problems with BioVectra in supplying us with our necessary quantities of Androxal for our clinical
trials and anticipate utilizing them for commercial production if Androxal is approved. There are
numerous other suitable manufacturers capable of manufacturing Androxal.
For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to rely on third-party manufacturers and
other third parties to produce, package and store sufficient quantities of Proellex, Androxal and
any future product candidates for use in our clinical trials. These product candidates are
complicated and expensive to manufacture. If our third-party manufacturers fail to deliver our
product candidates for clinical use on a timely basis, with sufficient quality, and at commercially
reasonable prices, we may be required to delay or suspend clinical trials or otherwise discontinue
development and production of our product candidates. While we may be able to identify replacement
third-party manufacturers or develop our own manufacturing capabilities for these product
candidates, this process would likely cause a delay in the availability of our product candidates
and an increase in costs. In addition, third-party manufacturers may have a limited number of
facilities in which our product candidates can be produced, and any interruption of the operation
of those facilities due to events such as equipment malfunction or failure or damage to the
facility could result in the cancellation of shipments, loss of product in the manufacturing
process or a shortfall in available product candidates.
Sales and Marketing
We intend to develop capabilities for the marketing, sale and distribution of pharmaceutical
products. We anticipate that we will market and sell Proellex in the U.S. and potentially
out-license Proellex outside of the U.S. if such out-licensing is appropriate. In the future we
will incur significant additional expenditures to develop a sales and marketing organization.

Patents and Proprietary Information
Our ability to compete effectively with other companies is materially dependent on the
proprietary nature of our patents and technologies. We actively seek patent protection for our
proprietary technology in the United States and abroad.
Under a license agreement with the National Institutes of Health, we have exclusive rights to
three issued U.S. patents, which expire in 2017, two pending U.S. patent applications, and several
foreign patents and pending applications made by the NIH regarding Proellex. We also have five
pending U.S. patent applications, four foreign PCT applications and 45 foreign pending patent
applications that cover various formulations of Proellex and methods for using Proellex.
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 33 issued foreign patents and 63 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 re-examination proceedings, which led the PTO to determine that the
amended claims are patentable in view of those publications under consideration and a
re-examination certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended claims are invalid
based on additional prior art publications, and our request for re-examination by the PTO in light
of a number of these additional publications and other publications cited by the PTO, has been
granted. All of the claims have been finally rejected in the re-examination. The patent holder has
appealed the rejections and has recently filed a Request for Oral Hearing. 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.
All of our employees and consultants have signed assignment of invention and confidentiality
agreements, and each corporate partner we enter into discussions with or engage to assist in our
clinical trials or manufacturing process is also required to execute appropriate confidentiality
and assignment agreements protecting our intellectual property.
Competition
We are engaged in pharmaceutical product development, an industry that is characterized by
extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. Many established pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies, universities and other research institutions with financial, scientific
and other resources significantly greater than ours are marketing or may develop products that
directly compete with any products we may develop. These entities may succeed in developing
products that are safer, more effective or less costly than products we may develop. Even if we
can develop products which should prove to be more effective than those developed by other
companies, other companies may be more successful than us because of greater financial resources,
greater experience in conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials and in obtaining
regulatory approval, stronger sales and marketing efforts, earlier receipt of approval for
competing products and other factors. If we commence significant commercial sales of any products,
we or our collaborators may compete in areas in which we have no experience, such as manufacturing
and marketing. There can be no assurance that our products, if commercialized, will be accepted
and prescribed by healthcare professionals.
Our main competitors for the treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis are GnRH
agonists, especially Lupron, the current most common therapeutic standard of care for uterine
fibroids. In addition, surgical treatment of both uterine fibroids and endometriosis competes with
Proellex by removing uterine fibroids and by removing misplaced tissue in women with endometriosis.
We believe we can potentially compete with Lupron and other GnRH agonists because we believe that
Proellex will not present the same side effect of a decrease in bone mineral density given its
specific focus on progesterone inhibition, which differentiates it from GnRH agonists that create a
low estrogen state. There are additional companies developing similar progesterone-blocking
technology. Asoprisnil, an anti-progestin, formerly being developed by TAP Pharmaceuticals in
partnership with Schering AG, has been tested and discontinued due to side effects up through Phase
3 clinical trials.
Our main competitors for the treatment of testosterone deficiency are the testosterone
replacement therapies currently being marketed. The current most common standard of care is
AndroGel, a topical gel for the replacement of testosterone, with 2005 sales of $282 million in
North America. AndroGel is marketed by Solvay Pharmaceuticals, a considerably larger company than
we are. There is another topical gel, Testim®, currently marketed by Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, and
a transdermal patch, AndroDerm®, marketed by Watson Pharmaceuticals. In addition, other companies
are developing other products that would compete with Androxal. We believe we can compete with
AndroGel and the other replacement therapies because we believe that Androxal avoids the
-9-
abnormally high peaks of testosterone levels and elevated levels of DHT which can be
associated with current testosterone replacement therapies like AndroGel. Based on our clinical
trial supply cost to date, we currently expect that Androxal, if approved, can compete favorably on
a cost basis with current testosterone replacement therapies.
Governmental Regulation
Our research and development activities, preclinical studies and clinical trials, and the
manufacturing, marketing and labeling of any products we may develop, are subject to extensive
regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries.
The U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and other
federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, the testing, manufacture,
storage, record keeping, labeling, advertising, promotion, marketing and distribution of any
products we may develop. Preclinical study and clinical trial requirements and the regulatory
approval process take many years and require the expenditure of substantial resources. Additional
government regulation may be established that could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our
product candidates. Delays in obtaining or rejections of regulatory approvals would adversely
affect our ability to commercialize any product candidate we develop and our ability to receive
product revenues or to receive milestone payments or royalties from any product rights we might
license to others. If regulatory approval of a product candidate is granted, the approval may
include significant limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or may
be conditioned on the conduct of post-marketing surveillance studies.
The standard process required by the FDA before a pharmaceutical agent may be marketed in the
United States includes: (1) preclinical tests; (2) submission to the FDA of an IND application
which must become effective before human clinical trials may commence; (3) adequate and
well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the drug for its
intended application; (4) submission of a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA; and (5) FDA
approval of the NDA prior to any commercial sale or shipment of the drug.
Clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential phases, but the phases may
overlap. Phase 1 typically involves the initial introduction of the drug into human subjects. In
Phase 1, the drug is tested for safety and, as appropriate, for absorption, metabolism,
distribution, excretion, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Phase 2 usually involves studies
in a limited patient population to evaluate preliminarily the efficacy of the drug for specific
targeted indications, determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage and identify possible adverse
effects and safety risks.
Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to further evaluate clinical efficacy and to test
further for safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical study
sites. Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3 testing may not be completed successfully within any specific
time period, if at all, with respect to any products being tested by a sponsor. Furthermore, the
FDA or the Investigational Review Board, or IRB may suspend clinical trials at any time on various
grounds, including a finding that the healthy volunteers or patients are being exposed to an
unacceptable health risk.
Even if regulatory approvals for any products we may develop are obtained, we, our potential
collaborators, our products, and the facilities manufacturing our products would be subject to
continual review and periodic inspection. The FDA will require post-marketing reporting to monitor
the safety of our products. Each drug-manufacturing establishment supplying the United States must
be registered with the FDA. Manufacturing establishments are subject to periodic inspections by
the FDA and must comply with the FDAs requirements regarding current Good Manufacturing Practices,
or GMP. In complying with current GMP, manufacturers must expend funds, time and effort in the
area of production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance. We do not have any
drug manufacturing capabilities and must rely on outside firms for this capability. The FDA
stringently applies regulatory standards for manufacturing. Identification of previously unknown
problems with respect to a product, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions on the
product, manufacturer or facility, including warning letters, suspensions of regulatory approvals,
operating restrictions, delays in obtaining new product approvals, withdrawal of the product from
the market, product recalls, fines, injunctions and criminal prosecution.
Before any products we may develop could be marketed outside of the United States, they would
be subject to regulatory approval similar to FDA requirements in the United States, although the
requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing, and
reimbursement vary widely from country to country. No action can be taken to market any drug
product in a country until the regulatory authorities in that country have approved an appropriate
application. FDA approval does not assure approval by other regulatory authorities. The current
approval process varies from country to country, and the time spent in gaining approval varies from
that required for FDA approval. In some countries, the sale price of a drug product must also be
approved. The pricing review period often begins after market approval is granted. Even if a
foreign regulatory authority approves any products we may develop, no assurance can be given that
it will approve satisfactory prices for the products.
Our research and development involves the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals.
Although we believe that our procedures for handling and disposing of those materials comply with
state and federal regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials
cannot be eliminated. If such an accident occurs, we could be held liable for resulting damages,
which could be material to our financial condition and business. We are also subject to numerous
environmental, health and
-10-
workplace safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures,
exposure to blood-borne pathogens, and the handling of biohazardous materials. Additional federal,
state and local laws and regulations affecting us may be adopted in the future. Any violation of,
and the cost of compliance with, these laws and regulations could materially and adversely affect
us.
Third-Party Reimbursement and Pricing Controls
In the United States and elsewhere, sales of pharmaceutical products depend in significant
part on the availability of reimbursement to the consumer from third-party payers, such as
government and private insurance plans. Since we have no commercial products, we have not had to
face this issue yet. However, third-party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged
for medical products and services. It will be time consuming and expensive for us to go through
the process of seeking reimbursement from Medicaid, Medicare and private payers.
Our products may not be considered cost effective, and coverage and reimbursement may not be
available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a competitive and profitable basis.
The passage of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act of 2003 imposes new
requirements for the distribution and pricing of prescription drugs which may affect the marketing
of our products.
In many foreign markets, including the countries in the European Union, pricing of
pharmaceutical products is subject to governmental control. In the United States, there have been,
and we expect that there will continue to be, a number of federal and state proposals to implement
similar governmental pricing control. While we cannot predict whether such legislative or
regulatory proposals will be adopted, the adoption of such proposals could have a material adverse
effect on our profitability.
The Hatch-Waxman Act
Under the U.S. Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, known as the
Hatch-Waxman Act, newly approved drugs and indications benefit from a statutory period of
non-patent marketing exclusivity. The Hatch-Waxman Act provides five year marketing exclusivity to
the first applicant to gain approval of an NDA for a new chemical entity, or NCE, meaning that the
FDA has not previously approved any other new drug containing the same active ingredient. Both of
our current product candidates are considered NCEs. The Hatch-Waxman Act prohibits approval of an
abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA, for a generic version of the drug during the five-year
exclusivity period. Protection under the Hatch-Waxman Act will not prevent the filing or approval
of another full NDA, however, the applicant would be required to conduct its own adequate and
well-controlled clinical trials to demonstrate safety and effectiveness. The Hatch-Waxman Act also
provides three years of marketing exclusivity for the approval of new NDAs with new clinical trials
for previously approved drugs and supplemental NDAs, for example, for new indications, dosages, or
strengths of an existing drug, if new clinical investigations are essential to the approval. This
three year exclusivity covers only the new changes associated with the supplemental NDA and does
not prohibit the FDA from approving ANDAs for drugs containing the original active ingredient or
indications.
The Hatch-Waxman Act also permits a patent extension term of up to five years as compensation
for patent term lost during product development and the FDA regulatory review process. However,
patent extension cannot extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years. The
patent term restoration period is generally one-half the time between the effective date of an IND
and the submission date of an NDA, plus time of active FDA review between the submission date of an
NDA and the approval of that application. Only one patent applicable to an approved drug is
eligible for the extension and it must be applied for prior to expiration of the patent and within
60 days of the approval of the NDA. The PTO, in consultation with the FDA, reviews and approves or
rejects the application for patent term extension.
Litigation
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
Employees and Consultants
Employees
As of March 13, 2009, we had 10 full-time employees. We also utilize consultants as well as
contract research organizations and other outside specialty firms for various services such as
preclinical and clinical trial support, manufacturing, regulatory approval advice and accounting
and human resource management. We believe our relationship with our employees is good.
Scientific Advisors and Consultants
We benefit from consultation with prominent scientists active in fields related to our
technology. For this purpose, we have part-time consulting relationships with a number of
scientific advisors. At our request, these advisors review the feasibility of product development
programs under consideration, provide advice about advances in areas related to our technology, and
aid in recruiting personnel. All of the advisors are employed by academic institutions or other
entities and may have commitments to or advisory
-11-
agreements with other entities that limit their availability to us. Our advisors are required
to sign an agreement providing that, if appropriate, they are to disclose and assign to us any
ideas, discoveries and inventions they develop in the course of providing consulting services. We
also use consultants for various administrative needs. None of our advisors are otherwise
affiliated with us.
In addition to the advisors described above, during the year 2008 we engaged five U.S.
contract research organizations to conduct our clinical trials in the United States and ex-U.S. for
the treatment of anemia associated with uterine fibroids, chronic treatment of symptoms associated
with uterine fibroids and for the treatment of symptoms associated with endometriosis. In
addition, one of these CROs is also conducting our current open label safety study with Androxal
for the treatment of testosterone deficiency. Under our arrangements with these CROs, we design
the protocols for the clinical trials and direct the CROs in their efforts.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. You
should also refer to the other information in this report, including our financial statements and
the related notes incorporated by reference. The risks and uncertainties described below are not
the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known
to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could
suffer. In that event the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or
part of your investment in our common stock. The risks discussed below also include
forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in
these forward-looking statements.
Risks Relating to Our Business
If we fail to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations, we will have to delay, reduce or
eliminate our research and development programs or commercialization efforts.
We expect to make additional capital outlays and to increase operating expenditures over the
next several years to support our preclinical development and clinical trial activities,
particularly with respect to pivotal clinical trials for Proellex and Androxal. We expect our
current capital to be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the second quarter of
2009, depending on the timing and success of our clinical trials. Thereafter we will need to seek
additional funding through public or private financings, including equity or debt financings,
and/or through other means, including collaborations and license agreements. We do not know
whether additional financing will be available when needed, or that, if available, we will obtain
financing on terms favorable to our stockholders or us. If adequate funds are not available to us,
we may be required to:
|
|
|
delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our development programs; |
|
|
|
|
relinquish, license or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidate
or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves at an
earlier stage or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or |
|
|
|
|
liquidate and dissolve our company. |
Our future capital requirements will depend upon a number of factors, including:
|
|
|
the size, complexity, results and timing of our clinical programs; |
|
|
|
|
the cost to obtain sufficient supply of the compounds necessary for our product
candidates at a reasonable cost; |
|
|
|
|
the time and cost involved in obtaining regulatory approvals; |
|
|
|
|
the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and
enforcing patent claims; and |
|
|
|
|
competing technological and market developments. |
These factors could result in variations from our currently projected operating and liquidity
requirements.
The current worldwide financial crisis and economic downturn may likely affect our suppliers and
contractors, and could materially affect our ability to do business.
The current worldwide financial crisis has reduced the availability of liquidity and credit to
fund or support the continuation and expansion of business operations worldwide. Recent financial
market conditions have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial
institutions, and have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to merge with
larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail. Many lenders and institutional
investors have reduced and, in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers. Continued
disruption of the credit markets could adversely affect the credit capacity of our suppliers,
contractors and insurance providers and could result in cancellations, suspensions or project
delays. If one or more of our suppliers or contractors experiences difficulties that result in a
reduction or interruption in supplies or services to us, or they fail to meet any of our
manufacturing requirements, our business could be adversely impacted until we are able to secure
alternative sources, if any. If our insurance providers are not able to meet their obligations, we
could also be adversely impacted. In addition to these factors, please refer to the risk factor
titled, We rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates, and their
failure to timely and properly perform their obligations may result in costs and delays that
prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval or successfully commercializing our product
candidates for a discussion of additional adverse events that could arise from the failure of our
independent contractors.
-13-
The U.S. governments actions to address the financial crises may not be effective to stabilize the
financial markets or to increase the availability of credit.
In response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and
going concern threats to investment banks and other financial institutions, legislation was enacted
that provides the U.S. Treasury the authority to, among other things,
purchase mortgage-backed and other securities from financial institutions for the purpose of
stabilizing the financial markets. In addition, legislation has been enacted to stimulate general
U.S. and global economic recovery, both in the United States and overseas. Since enactment of the
legislation, the global capital markets have continued to experience extreme levels of volatility
and the credit markets have not yet shown any significant increase in the availability of credit.
There can be no assurance what impact this legislation ultimately will have on the financial
markets. If actions taken pursuant to the legislation are not successful in stabilizing the
financial markets and increasing the availability of credit, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or the trading price of our
common stock.
Our product candidates are in clinical development, and if we are not able to successfully complete
their development and commercialize them, we may not generate sufficient revenues to continue our
business operations.
We currently have only two product candidates that are in clinical development. We have
expended significant time, money and effort in the development of Proellex and Androxal, and we
will have to spend considerable additional time, money and effort before seeking regulatory
approval to market these product candidates. In addition, we are focusing our resources on the
development of Proellex which will further delay the development and commercialization of Androxal.
Our business depends primarily on our ability to successfully complete clinical trials, obtain
required regulatory approvals and successfully commercialize our product candidates. If we fail to
commercialize one or more of our product candidates, we may be unable to generate sufficient
revenues to attain profitability or continue our business operations and our reputation in the
industry and in the investment community could likely be significantly damaged, each of which would
cause our stock price to decline.
Because the data from our preclinical studies and early clinical trials for our product candidates
are not necessarily predictive of future results, we can provide no assurances that any of them
will have favorable results in clinical trials or receive regulatory approval.
Before we can obtain regulatory approval for the commercial sale of any product candidate that
we develop, we are required to complete preclinical development and extensive clinical trials in
humans to demonstrate its safety and efficacy. Positive data from preclinical studies or early
clinical trials should not be relied upon as evidence that those studies or trials will produce
positive results, or that later or larger-scale clinical trials will succeed. Previous clinical
trials for Proellex and Androxal have been conducted only in limited numbers of patients that may
not fully represent the diversity present in larger populations. In addition, these studies have
not been subjected to the exacting design requirements typically required by FDA for pivotal
trials. Thus the limited data we have obtained may not predict results from studies in larger
numbers of patients drawn from more diverse populations, and may not predict the ability of
Proellex to treat uterine fibroids, anemia associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis.
Furthermore, the only data that we obtained to date relating to Androxal is to treat testosterone
deficiency. We will be required to demonstrate through larger-scale clinical trials that these
product candidates are safe and effective for use in a diverse population before we can seek
regulatory approvals for their commercial sale which we have only recently initiated for Proellex
in our registration Pivotal Phase 3 trials. There is typically an extremely high rate of attrition
from the failure of drug candidates proceeding through clinical trials. We are also required to
complete our two-year rat carcinogenicity studies as well as other preclinical studies before we
are permitted to file a new drug application, or NDA, for Androxal and Proellex. If Proellex,
Androxal, or any other potential future product candidate fails to demonstrate sufficient safety
and efficacy in any clinical trial, we would experience potentially significant delays in, or be
required to abandon, development of that product candidate. If we delay or abandon our development
efforts related to Proellex or Androxal, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to
continue operations or become profitable.
We have a history of operating losses, and we expect to incur increasing net losses and may not
achieve or maintain profitability for some time or at all.
We have experienced significant operating losses in each fiscal year since our inception. As
of December 31, 2008, we had a deficit of approximately $147.2 million. We expect to continue
incurring net losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability for some time if at all. As
we increase expenditures for the clinical development of Proellex and Androxal, we expect our
operating losses to increase for at least the next few years. Our ability to achieve profitability
will depend, among other things, on successfully completing the development of Proellex and
Androxal, obtaining regulatory approvals, establishing marketing, sales and manufacturing
capabilities or collaborative arrangements with others that possess such capabilities, and raising
sufficient funds to finance our activities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
achieve profitability or that profitability, if achieved, can be sustained. The uncertainties
relating to the foregoing matters raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
-14-
Raising additional funds by issuing securities or through collaboration and licensing arrangements
may cause dilution to existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish
proprietary rights.
We
may raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or
potential regional
corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements. We cannot be certain that additional funding
will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital
by issuing equity securities, our stockholders ownership will be diluted. Any debt financing we
enter into may involve covenants that restrict our operations. These restrictive covenants may
include limitations on borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of our assets, as well as
prohibitions on our ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make investments. In addition, if we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing
arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our potential
products or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. For
example, we might be forced to relinquish all or a portion of our sales and marketing rights with
respect to Proellex, Androxal or other potential products or license intellectual property that
enables licensees to develop competing products.
Our stock price could decline significantly based on the results and timing of clinical trials of,
and decisions affecting, our product candidates.
Results of clinical trials and preclinical studies of our current and potential product
candidates may not be viewed favorably by us or third parties, including the FDA or other
regulatory authorities, investors, analysts and potential collaborators. The same may be true of
how we design the clinical trials of our product candidates and regulatory decisions affecting
those clinical trials. Biopharmaceutical company stock prices have declined significantly when such
results and decisions were unfavorable or perceived negatively or when a product candidate did not
otherwise meet expectations. The final results from our clinical development programs may be
negative, may not meet expectations or may be perceived negatively. The designs of our clinical
trials (which may change significantly and be more expensive than currently anticipated depending
on our clinical results and regulatory decisions) may also be viewed negatively by third parties.
We may not be successful in completing these clinical trials on our projected timetable, if at all.
Failure to initiate additional clinical trials or delays in existing clinical trials of
Androxal and Proellex or any of our other current or future product candidates, or unfavorable
results or decisions or negative perceptions regarding any of such clinical trials, could cause our
stock price to decline significantly.
Delays in the commencement of preclinical studies and clinical trials testing of our current and
potential product candidates could result in increased costs to us and delay our ability to
generate revenues.
Our product candidates will require continued preclinical studies and extensive clinical
trials prior to the submission of a regulatory application for commercial sales. Because of the
nature of clinical trials, we do not know whether future planned clinical trials will begin on
time, if at all. Delays in the commencement of preclinical studies and clinical trials could
significantly increase our product development costs and delay any product commercialization. In
addition, many of the factors that may cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement of clinical
trials may also ultimately lead to denial of regulatory approval of a product candidate.
The commencement of clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays
in:
|
|
|
demonstrating sufficient safety and efficacy in past clinical trials to obtain
regulatory approval to commence a further clinical trial; |
|
|
|
|
convincing the FDA that we have selected valid endpoints for use in proposed clinical
trials, such as those we recently changed in our Androxal clinical trials after our
meeting with the FDA; |
|
|
|
|
reaching agreements on acceptable terms with prospective contract manufacturers for
manufacturing sufficient quantities of a product candidate; and |
|
|
|
|
obtaining institutional review board approval to conduct a clinical trial at a
prospective site. |
In addition, the commencement of clinical trials may be delayed due to insufficient patient
enrollment, which is a function of many factors, including the size of the patient population, the
nature of the protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the availability of effective
treatments for the relevant disease, and the eligibility criteria for the clinical trial.
Delays in the completion of, or the termination of, clinical testing of our current and potential
product candidates could result in increased costs to us, and could delay or prevent us from
generating revenues.
-15-
Once a clinical trial has begun, it may be delayed, suspended or terminated by us or the FDA,
or other regulatory authorities due to a number of factors, including:
|
|
|
lack of effectiveness of any product candidate during clinical trials; |
|
|
|
|
side effects experienced by trial participants or other safety issues; |
|
|
|
|
slower than expected rates of patient recruitment and enrollment or lower than
expected patient retention rates; |
|
|
|
|
delays or inability to manufacture or obtain sufficient quantities of materials for
use in clinical trials; |
|
|
|
|
inadequacy of or changes in our manufacturing process or compound formulation; |
|
|
|
|
delays in obtaining regulatory approvals to commence a trial, or clinical holds or
delays requiring suspension or termination of a trial by a regulatory agency, such as
the FDA, after a trial is commenced; |
|
|
|
|
changes in applicable regulatory policies and regulations; |
|
|
|
|
delays in identifying and reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective
clinical trial sites; |
|
|
|
|
uncertainty regarding proper dosing; |
|
|
|
|
unfavorable results from on-going clinical trials and preclinical studies; |
|
|
|
|
failure of our clinical research organizations to comply with all regulatory and
contractual requirements or otherwise fail to perform their services in a timely or
acceptable manner; |
|
|
|
|
scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions; |
|
|
|
|
failure to construct appropriate clinical trial protocols; |
|
|
|
|
insufficient data to support regulatory approval; |
|
|
|
|
inability or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow our clinical protocols; |
|
|
|
|
difficulty in maintaining contact with subjects during or after treatment, which may
result in incomplete data; |
|
|
|
|
ongoing discussions with the FDA or other regulatory authorities regarding the scope
or design of our clinical trials; as was the case with our development for the initial
indication of Androxal that we are no longer pursuing; |
|
|
|
|
acceptability to the FDA of data obtained from clinical studies conducted in Europe
or other non-United States jurisdictions; and |
|
|
|
|
lack of adequate funding to continue clinical trials. |
Many of these factors that may lead to a delay, suspension or termination of clinical testing
of a current or potential product candidate may also ultimately lead to denial of regulatory
approval of a current or potential product candidate.
If we experience delays in the completion of, or termination of, clinical testing of any
product candidates in the future, our financial results and the commercial prospects for our
product candidates will be harmed, and our ability to generate product revenues will be delayed.
Even if we successfully complete clinical trials for Proellex and Androxal, there are no assurances
that we will be able to submit, or obtain FDA approval of, a new drug application.
There can be no assurance that, if our clinical trials for Proellex and Androxal are
successfully completed, we will be able to submit a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA or
that any NDA we submit will be approved by the FDA in a timely manner, if at all. After completing
clinical trials for a product candidate in humans, a drug dossier is prepared and submitted to the
FDA as an NDA, and includes all preclinical studies and clinical trial data relevant to the safety
and effectiveness of the product at the suggested dose and duration of use for the proposed
indication, in order to allow the FDA to review such drug dossier and to consider a product
candidate for approval for commercialization in the United States. If we are unable to submit an
NDA with respect to Proellex or
-16-
Androxal, or if any NDA we submit is not approved by the FDA, we
will be unable to commercialize that product. The FDA can and does reject NDAs and requires
additional clinical trials, even when drug candidates achieve favorable results in large-scale
Phase 3 clinical trials. If we fail to commercialize Proellex or Androxal, we will be unable to
generate sufficient revenues to continue operations or attain profitability and our reputation in
the industry and in the investment community would likely be damaged.
The results of preclinical studies and completed clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of
future results, and our current drug candidates may not have favorable results in later studies or
trials.
Preclinical studies and Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials are not primarily designed to test
the efficacy of a drug candidate, but rather to test safety, to study pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics, and to understand the drug candidates side effects at various doses and
schedules. To date, long-term safety and efficacy have not yet been demonstrated in clinical
trials for any of our product candidates. Favorable results in our early studies or trials may not
be repeated in later studies or trials, including continuing preclinical studies and large-scale
clinical trials analyzed with more rigorous statistical methods, and our drug candidates in
later-stage trials may fail to show desired safety and efficacy despite having progressed through
earlier-stage trials. Unfavorable results from ongoing preclinical studies or clinical trials
could result in delays, modifications or abandonment of ongoing or future clinical trials. Clinical
results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent
regulatory approvals. Negative or inconclusive results or adverse medical events during a clinical trial could cause a clinical
trial to be delayed, repeated or terminated. In addition, we may report top-line data from time to
time, which is based on a preliminary analysis of key efficacy and safety data; such data may be
subject to change following a more comprehensive review of the data related to the applicable
clinical trial.
If commercialized, our product candidates may not be approved for sufficient governmental or
third-party reimbursements, which would adversely affect our ability to market our product
candidates.
In the United States and elsewhere, sales of pharmaceutical products depend in significant
part on the availability of reimbursement to the consumer from third-party payers, such as
government and private insurance plans. Since we have no commercial products, we have not had to
face this issue yet; however, third-party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged
for medical products and services. It will be time consuming and expensive for us to go through
the process of seeking reimbursement from Medicaid, Medicare and private payers for Proellex and
Androxal. Our products may not be considered cost effective, and coverage and reimbursement may
not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a competitive and profitable
basis. The passage of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act of 2003 imposes new
requirements for the distribution and pricing of prescription drugs which may negatively affect the
marketing of our potential products.
If we successfully develop products but those products do not achieve and maintain market
acceptance, our business will not be profitable.
Even if our product candidates are approved for commercial sale by the FDA or other regulatory
authorities, the degree of market acceptance of any approved product by physicians, healthcare
professionals and third-party payers and our profitability and growth will depend on a number of
factors, including:
|
|
|
relative convenience and ease of administration; |
|
|
|
|
the prevalence and severity of any adverse side effects; |
|
|
|
|
availability, effectiveness and cost of alternative treatments; |
|
|
|
|
pricing and cost effectiveness of our drugs; |
|
|
|
|
effectiveness of our or collaborators sales and marketing strategies; and |
|
|
|
|
our ability to obtain sufficient third-party insurance coverage or reimbursement. |
If Proellex does not provide a treatment regimen that is more beneficial than Lupron, a GnRH
agonist and the current therapeutic standard of care for uterine fibroids, or otherwise provide
patient benefit, it likely will not be accepted favorably by the market. Similarly, if Androxal
does not provide a treatment regime that is more beneficial than AndroGel, the current standard of
care for the treatment of testosterone deficiency, or otherwise provide patient benefit, it likely
will not be accepted favorably by the market. If any products we may develop do not achieve market
acceptance, then we will not generate sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability.
-17-
In addition, even if our products achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to maintain
that market acceptance over time if:
|
|
|
new products or technologies are introduced that are more favorably received than our
products, are more cost effective or render our products obsolete; |
|
|
|
|
unforeseen complications arise with respect to use of our products; or |
|
|
|
|
sufficient third-party insurance coverage or reimbursement does not remain available. |
We currently rely on third-party manufacturers and other third parties for production of our
product candidates, and our dependence on these manufacturers may impair the development of our
product candidates.
Currently, we do not have the ability internally to manufacture the product candidates that we
need to conduct our clinical trials. In 2006, we entered into a long-term supply contract with
Gedeon Richter for the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, for Proellex due
to their extensive experience in the manufacture of similar compounds and the cost savings they
offered compared to other qualified manufacturers. Pursuant to the terms of this long-term supply
contract, we are required, with certain limited exceptions, to purchase all of our future
requirements of Proellex from this single supplier for a period of five years after the first sale
of Proellex in the United States, to the extent that such supplier is able to satisfy our
requirements. The contract may be terminated by either party for failure to remedy a default of any material provision of the
contract. Should the contract be terminated for any reason, we would in all likelihood be required
to obtain the API from an alternate manufacturer which may increase the costs associated with our
clinical trials and result in delays to our clinical trial program for Proellex. This was recently
modified under the December 2008 purchase request described above under Business-Manufacturing.
We have a five year supply agreement with Diagnostic Chemical Limited, doing business as
BioVectra, for the supply of the bulk active pharmaceutical ingredient used in Androxal. We have
obtained all of our supply of Androxal to date from BioVectra. We have not faced any material
problems with BioVectra in supplying us with our necessary quantities of Androxal for our clinical
trials and anticipate utilizing them for commercial production if Androxal is approved. There are
numerous other suitable manufacturers capable of manufacturing Androxal.
For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to rely on third-party manufacturers and
other third parties to produce, package and store sufficient quantities of Proellex, Androxal and
any future product candidates for use in our clinical trials. These product candidates are
complicated and expensive to manufacture. If our third-party manufacturers fail to deliver our
product candidates for clinical use on a timely basis, with sufficient quality, and at commercially
reasonable prices, we may be required to delay or suspend clinical trials or otherwise discontinue
development and production of our product candidates. While we may be able to identify replacement
third-party manufacturers or develop our own manufacturing capabilities for these product
candidates, this process would likely cause a delay in the availability of our product candidates
and an increase in costs. In addition, third-party manufacturers may have a limited number of
facilities in which our product candidates can be produced, and any interruption of the operation
of those facilities due to events such as equipment malfunction or failure or damage to the
facility by natural disasters could result in the cancellation of shipments, loss of product in the
manufacturing process or a shortfall in available product candidates.
Our product candidates have only been manufactured in small quantities to date, and we may face
delays or complications in manufacturing quantities of our product candidates in sufficient
quantities to meet the demands of late stage clinical trials and marketing.
We cannot assure that we will be able to successfully increase the manufacturing capacity or
scale-up manufacturing volume per batch, whether on our own or in reliance on third-party
manufacturers, for any of our product candidates in a timely or economical manner, or at all. To
date our product candidates have been manufactured exclusively by third parties in small quantities
for preclinical studies and clinical trials. We have arranged for the production of significantly
larger quantities of Proellex and Androxal, for future clinical trials but may need to arrange for
increased quantities for future commercial sale in the event that such product candidates are
approved by the FDA or foreign regulatory bodies. Significant scale-up of manufacturing requires
certain additional developmental work, which the FDA must review and approve to assure product
comparability. If we or our third-party manufacturers are unable to successfully increase the
manufacturing capacity for a product candidate, the regulatory approval or commercial launch of
that product candidate may be delayed or there may be a shortage in supply of that product
candidate.
Our product candidates require precise, high-quality manufacturing which may not be available at
acceptable costs.
Proellex and Androxal are novel compounds that have never been produced in large scale. As in
the development of any new compound, there are underlying risks associated with their manufacture.
These risks include, but are not limited to, cost, process scale-up, process reproducibility,
construction of a suitable process plant, timely availability of raw materials, as well as
regulatory issues associated with the manufacture of an active pharmaceutical agent. Any of these
risks may prevent us from successfully
-18-
developing Proellex or Androxal. Our failure, or the
failure of our third-party manufacturers to achieve and maintain these high manufacturing
standards, including the incidence of manufacturing errors and reliable product packaging for
diverse environmental conditions, could result in patient injury or death, product recalls or
withdrawals, delays or failures in product testing or delivery, cost overruns or other problems
that could seriously hurt our business.
We may experience delays in the development of our product candidates if the third-party
manufacturers of our product candidates cannot meet FDA requirements relating to Good Manufacturing
Practices.
Our third-party manufacturers are required to produce our product candidates under FDA current
Good Manufacturing Practices in order to meet acceptable standards for our clinical trials. If
such standards change, the ability of third-party manufacturers to produce our product candidates
on the schedule we require for our clinical trials may be affected. In addition, third-party
manufacturers may not perform their obligations under their agreements with us or may discontinue
their business before the time required by us to gain approval for or commercialize our product
candidates. Any difficulties or delays in the manufacturing and supply of our product candidates
could increase our costs or cause us to lose revenue or postpone or cancel clinical trials.
The FDA also requires that we demonstrate structural and functional comparability between the
same drug product produced by different third-party manufacturers. Because we may use multiple
sources to manufacture Proellex and Androxal, we may need to conduct comparability studies to
assess whether manufacturing changes have affected the product safety, identity, purity or potency
of any commercial product candidate compared to the product candidate used in clinical trials. If
we are unable to demonstrate comparability, the FDA could require us to conduct additional clinical
trials, which would be expensive and significantly delay commercialization of our product
candidates.
We rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates, and their failure
to timely and properly perform their obligations may result in costs and delays that prevent us
from obtaining regulatory approval or successfully commercializing our product candidates.
We rely on independent contractors, including researchers at clinical research organizations,
or CROs, and universities, in certain areas that are particularly relevant to our research and
product development plans, such as the conduct of clinical trials. We have hired four CROs to
conduct our Pivotal Phase 3 and Open Label Safety clinical trials with Proellex for the treatment
of anemia associated with uterine fibroids and chronic treatment of uterine fibroids. In addition,
we also hired one of these same CROs to conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial for endometriosis. The
competition for these relationships is intense, and we may not be able to maintain our
relationships with them on acceptable terms. Independent contractors generally may terminate their
engagements at any time, subject to notice. As a result, we can control their activities only
within certain limits, and they will devote only a certain amount of their time conducting research
on and trials of our product candidates and assisting in developing them. If they do not
successfully carry out their duties under their agreements with us, fail to inform us if these
trials fail to comply with clinical trial protocols, or fail to meet expected deadlines, our
clinical trials may need to be extended, delayed or terminated. We may not be able to enter into
replacement arrangements without undue delays or excessive expenditures. If there are delays in
testing or regulatory approvals as a result of the failure to perform by our independent
contractors or other outside parties, our drug development costs will increase and we may not be
able to attain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our product candidates.
In addition, we have no control over the financial health of our independent contractors. The
current worldwide financial crisis, described in our second risk factor above, may contribute to
the likelihood of the financial failure of one or more of our independent contractors. Several of
our independent contractors are in possession of valuable and sensitive information relating to the
safety and efficacy of our product candidates, and several others provide services to a significant
percentage of the patients enrolled in the respective clinical trials in which such independent
contractors participate. Should one or more of these independent contractors become insolvent, or
otherwise are not able to continue to provide services to us, as a result of the current worldwide
financial crisis or otherwise, the clinical trial in which such contractor participates could
become significantly delayed and we may be adversely affected as a result of the delays and
additional expenses associated with such event.
Our liability insurance may neither provide adequate coverage nor may it always be available on
favorable terms or at all.
Neither Proellex nor Androxal has been approved for commercial sale. However, the current and
future use of our product candidates by us and potential corporate collaborators in clinical
trials, and the sale of any approved products in the future, may expose us to liability claims.
These claims might be made directly by consumers or healthcare providers or indirectly by
pharmaceutical companies, potential corporate collaborators or others selling such products. We
may experience financial losses in the future due to product liability claims. We have obtained
limited general commercial liability insurance coverage for our clinical trials. We intend to
expand our insurance coverage to include the sale of commercial products if we obtain marketing
approval for any of our product candidates. However, we may not be able to maintain insurance
coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses. If a
successful product liability claim or series of claims is brought against us for uninsured
-19-
liabilities or for liabilities in excess of our insurance limits, our assets may not be sufficient
to cover such claims and our business operations could be impaired.
We face significant competition with many companies with substantially greater resources than we
have and other possible advantages.
We are engaged in biopharmaceutical product development, an industry that is characterized by
extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. The biopharmaceutical industry is
also highly competitive. Our success will depend on our ability to acquire, develop and
commercialize products and our ability to establish and maintain markets for any products for which
we receive marketing approval. Potential competitors in North America, Europe and elsewhere
include major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology firms,
universities and other research institutions and government agencies. Many of our competitors have
substantially greater research and development and regulatory capabilities and experience, and
substantially greater management, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and financial resources,
than we do. Accordingly, our competitors may:
|
|
|
develop or license products or other novel technologies that are more effective,
safer or less costly than the product candidates that we are developing; |
|
|
|
|
obtain regulatory approval for products before we do; or |
|
|
|
|
commit more resources than we can to developing, marketing and selling competing
products. |
The main therapeutic products competitive with Proellex for the treatment of uterine fibroids
and endometriosis are GnRH agonists, including Lupron. and the use of approved progestin-based
contraceptives for the treatment of endometriosis. In addition, surgical treatment of both uterine
fibroids and endometriosis would compete with Proellex, if approved, by removing uterine fibroids
and by removing misplaced tissue in women with endometriosis. Furthermore, Neurocrine
Biosciences Inc. is developing a GnRH antagonist for the treatment of endometriosis.
Our main competitors for the treatment of testosterone deficiency are the testosterone
replacement therapies currently being marketed. The current standard of care is AndroGel, a
topical gel for the replacement of testosterone developed by Solvay Pharmaceuticals. Solvay is a
much larger company than we are, with greater resources and marketing ability. Androxal would also
compete with other forms of testosterone replacement therapies such as oral treatments, patches,
injectables and a tablet applied to the upper gum. There is another topical gel currently marketed
by Auxilium Pharmaceuticals called Testim, and a transdermal patch marketed by Watson
Pharmaceuticals called AndroDerm. There can be no assurance that our product candidates will be
more successful than competitive products. In addition, other potential competitors may be
developing testosterone therapies similar to ours.
We are thinly staffed and highly dependent on a limited number of management persons and key
personnel, and if we lose these members of our team or are unable to attract and retain additional
qualified personnel, our future growth and ability to compete would suffer.
The competition for qualified personnel in the biopharmaceutical field is intense, and our
future success depends upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled scientific,
technical and managerial employees. We have only 10 full-time employees at the present time,
including Joseph S. Podolski, Paul Lammers, Louis Ploth, Jr., Andre van As and Ronald Wiehle. We
are highly dependent on Messrs. Podolski and Ploth and Drs. Lammers, van As and Wiehle for the
management of our company and the development of our technologies. Messrs. Podolski and Ploth and
Drs. Lammers and van As have employment agreements with us. There can be no assurance that any of
these officers will remain with us through development of our current product candidates. We do
not maintain key person life insurance on any of our directors, officers or employees. The loss of
the services of any of our officers could delay or curtail our research and product development
efforts.
Our plan to use collaborations to leverage our capabilities may not be successful.
As part of our business strategy, we intend to enter into collaboration arrangements with
strategic partners to develop and commercialize our product candidates. For our collaboration
efforts to be successful, we must identify partners whose competencies complement ours. We must
also successfully enter into collaboration agreements with them on terms attractive to us and
integrate and coordinate their resources and capabilities with our own. We may be unsuccessful in
entering into collaboration agreements with acceptable partners or negotiating favorable terms in
these agreements. In addition, we may face a disadvantage in seeking to enter into or negotiating
collaborations with potential partners because other potential collaborators may have greater
management and financial resources than we do. Also, we may be unsuccessful in integrating the
resources or capabilities of these collaborators. In
-20-
addition, our collaborators may prove difficult to work with or less skilled than we originally expected. If we are unsuccessful in our
collaborative efforts, our ability to develop and market product candidates could be severely
limited.
Our rights agreement and certain provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could delay
or prevent a change in management or a takeover attempt that you may consider to be in your best
interest.
We have adopted certain anti-takeover provisions, including a rights agreement. The rights
agreement will cause substantial dilution to any person who attempts to acquire us in a manner or
on terms not approved by our board of directors. We recently amended the rights agreement to
permit Efficacy Capital to acquire up to 40% of our outstanding common stock subject to a
standstill agreement.
The rights agreement and certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and
under Delaware law could delay or prevent the removal of directors and other management and could
make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us that you may consider to
be in your best interest. For example, these provisions:
|
|
|
allow our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval; |
|
|
|
|
limit who can call a special meeting of stockholders; and |
|
|
|
|
establish advance notice requirements for nomination for election to the board of
directors or for proposing matters to be acted upon at stockholder meetings. |
Our largest equity investor may exert control over important decisions affecting our governance and
our operations, and their interests may differ from those of the other stockholders.
Efficacy Capital Ltd. (Efficacy) currently owns, directly or indirectly, 28.3% of our common
stock and is permitted under our rights plan to own up to 40% of our common stock. In addition,
Mark Lappe, a managing partner of Efficacy Capital, serves as our chairmen of the board of
directors. Circumstances may arise in which Efficacys interests could be in conflict with those
of our other stockholders. Because Efficacy can exert significant control given their large equity
position, conflicts of interest could be resolved in a manner adverse to us. It is possible that there will be situations where Efficacys
interests are in conflict with our interests, and they could exert influence to resolve these
conflicts in a manner adverse to us.
Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property
We licensed our rights to Proellex from NIH and our inability to fulfill our commitments and
obligations under such license may result in forfeiture of our rights.
Our rights to Proellex are licensed exclusively to us from NIH under a license agreement.
This license agreement contains numerous detailed performance obligations, with time sensitive
dates for compliance, relating to clinical development and commercialization activities required by
us or our designated third-party providers, as well as additional financial milestones and
royalties. Failure to achieve the benchmarks specified in the commercial development plan attached
to the license agreement or meet payment obligations could result in termination of the license
agreement and the loss of our rights to develop and commercialize Proellex. We periodically update
the commercial development plan as such plans evolve. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to meet any or all of the performance objectives in the future on a timely basis or at all, or
that, if we fail to meet any of such objectives, NIH will agree to revised objectives. NIH has the
ability to terminate the agreement for an uncured material breach of the agreement, if we made a
false statement or willful omission in our license application, if we do not keep Proellex
reasonably available to the public after commercial launch, if we cannot reasonably satisfy unmet
health and safety needs, or if we cannot reasonably justify a failure to comply with the domestic
production requirement unless such requirement has been waived.
There is a third party individual patent holder that claims priority over our patent application
for Androxal.
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 re-examination proceedings, which led the PTO to
determine that the amended claims are patentable in view of those publications under consideration
and a re-examination certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended claims are
invalid based on additional prior art publications, and our request for re-examination by the PTO
in light of a number of these additional publications and other publications cited by the PTO, has
been granted. All of the claims have been finally rejected in the re-examination. The patent holder
has appealed the rejections and has recently filed a Request for Oral Hearing. 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
-21-
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.
We cannot assure that our manufacture, use or sale of our product candidates will not infringe on
the patent rights of others.
There can be no assurance that the manufacture, use or sale of any of our product candidates
will not infringe the patent rights of others. We may be unable to avoid infringement of the
patent rights of others and may be required to seek a license, defend an infringement action or
challenge the validity of the patents in court. There can be no assurance that a license to the
allegedly infringed patents will be available to us on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at
all, or that we will prevail in any patent litigation. Patent litigation is extremely costly and
time-consuming, and there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to defend any
possible litigation related to such infringement. If we do not obtain a license on acceptable
terms under such patents, or are found liable for infringement, or are not able to have such
patents declared invalid, we may be liable for significant money damages, may encounter significant
delays in bringing our product candidates to market, or may be precluded from participating in the
manufacture, use or sale of any such product candidates, any of which would materially and
adversely affect our business.
A dispute regarding the infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights or the
proprietary rights of others could be costly and result in delays in our research and development
activities.
Our commercial success also depends upon our ability to develop and manufacture our product
candidates and market and sell drugs, if any, and conduct our research and development activities
without infringing or misappropriating the proprietary rights of others. We may be exposed to
future litigation by others based on claims that our product candidates, technologies or activities
infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Numerous United States and foreign issued
patents and pending patent applications owned by others also exist in the therapeutic areas in, and
for the therapeutic targets for, which we are developing drugs. These could materially affect our
ability to develop our product candidates or sell drugs, and our activities, or those of our
licensor or future collaborators, could be determined to infringe these patents. Because patent
applications can take many years to issue, there may be currently pending applications, unknown to
us, which may later result in issued patents that our drug candidates or technologies may infringe.
There also may be existing patents, of which we are not aware, that our product candidates or
technologies may infringe. Further, there may be issued patents and pending patent applications in
fields relevant to our business, of which we are or may become aware, that we believe we do not
infringe or that we believe are invalid or relate to immaterial portions of our overall drug
discovery and development efforts. We cannot assure you that others holding any of these patents
or patent applications will not assert infringement claims against us for damages or seeking to enjoin our activities. We also
cannot assure you that, in the event of litigation, we will be able to successfully assert any
belief we may have as to non-infringement, invalidity or immateriality, or that any infringement
claims will be resolved in our favor.
In addition, others may infringe or misappropriate our proprietary rights, and we may have to
institute costly legal action to protect our intellectual property rights. We may not be able to
afford the costs of enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights against others. There
could also be significant litigation and other administrative proceedings in our industry that
affect us regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Any legal action or
administrative action against us, or our collaborators, claiming damages or seeking to enjoin
commercial activities relating to our drug discovery and development programs could:
|
|
|
require us, or potential collaborators, to obtain a license to continue to use,
manufacture or market the affected drugs, methods or processes, which may not be
available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all; |
|
|
|
|
prevent us from importing, making, using, selling or offering to sell the subject
matter claimed in patents held by others and subject to potential liability for damages;
or |
|
|
|
|
consume a substantial portion of our managerial, scientific and financial resources;
or be costly, regardless of the outcome. |
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of pre-trial documents and witness discovery
required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is risk that some of our
confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In
addition, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public announcements of the
results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts
or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on
the trading price of our common stock.
-22-
We face substantial uncertainty in our ability to protect our patents and proprietary technology.
Our ability to commercialize our products will depend, in part, on our or our licensors
ability to obtain patents, to enforce those patents and preserve trade secrets, and to operate
without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. The patent positions of biopharmaceutical
companies are highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. There can be no
assurance that:
|
|
|
Patent applications for and relating to our products, Proellex and Androxal, will
result in issued patents; |
|
|
|
|
Patent protection will be secured for any particular technology; |
|
|
|
|
Any patents that have been or may be issued to us, such as our pending patent
applications relating to Proellex or Androxal, or any patents that have been or may be
issued to our licensor, such as the patent(s) and application(s) underlying our Proellex
compound, when issued, will be valid and enforceable; |
|
|
|
|
any patents will provide meaningful protection to us; |
|
|
|
|
others will not be able to design around the patents; or |
|
|
|
|
our patents will provide a competitive advantage or have commercial application. |
The failure to obtain and maintain adequate patent protection would have a material adverse
effect on us and may adversely affect our ability to enter into, or affect the terms of, any
arrangement for the marketing of any product.
We cannot assure that our patents will not be challenged by others.
There can be no assurance that patents owned by or licensed to us will not be challenged by
others. We could incur substantial costs in proceedings, including interference proceedings before
the PTO and comparable proceedings before similar agencies in other countries in connection with
any claims that may arise in the future. These proceedings could result in adverse decisions about
the patentability of our or our licensors inventions and products, as well as about the
enforceability, validity or scope of protection afforded by the patents. Any adverse decisions
about the patentability of our product candidates could cause us to either lose rights to develop
and commercialize our product candidates or to license such rights at substantial cost to us. In
addition, even if we were successful in such proceedings, the cost and delay of such proceedings
would most likely have a material adverse effect on our business.
Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade
secrets and other proprietary information, may not adequately protect our intellectual property,
and will not prevent third parties from independently discovering technology similar to or in
competition with our intellectual property.
We rely on trade secrets and other unpatented proprietary information in our product
development activities. To the extent we rely on trade secrets and unpatented know-how to maintain
our competitive technological position, there can be no assurance that others may not independently
develop the same or similar technologies. We seek to protect trade secrets and proprietary
knowledge, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors,
collaborators and contractors. Nevertheless, these agreements may not effectively prevent
disclosure of our confidential information and may not provide us with an adequate remedy in the
event of unauthorized disclosure of such information. If our employees, scientific consultants,
advisors, collaborators or contractors develop inventions or processes independently that may be
applicable to our technologies, product candidates or products, disputes may arise about ownership
of proprietary rights to those inventions and processes. Such inventions and processes will not
necessarily become our property, but may remain the property of those persons or their employers.
Protracted and costly litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our
proprietary rights. If we fail to obtain or maintain trade secret protection for any reason, the
competition we face could increase, reducing our potential revenues and adversely affecting our
ability to attain or maintain profitability.
We cannot protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Filing, prosecuting, and defending patents on all of our drug discovery technologies and all
of our potential drug candidates throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive.
Competitors may use our technologies to develop their own drugs in jurisdictions where we have not
obtained patent protection. These drugs may compete with our drugs, if any, and may not be covered
by any of our patent claims or other intellectual property rights. The laws of some foreign
countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United
States, and many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending such
rights in foreign jurisdictions. Many countries, including certain countries in Europe, have
compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third
parties (for example, the patent owner has failed to work the invention in that country or the
third party has patented improvements). In addition, many countries limit the
-23-
enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent
owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of the patent.
Compulsory licensing of life-saving drugs is also becoming increasingly popular in developing
countries either through direct legislation or international initiatives. Such compulsory licenses
could be extended to include some of our drug candidates, which could limit our potential revenue
opportunities. Moreover, the legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing
countries, do not favor the aggressive enforcement of patents and other intellectual property
protection, particularly those relating to biotechnology and/or pharmaceuticals, which makes it
difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights
in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and attention from
other aspects of our business.

Dividends
We have never paid dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain earnings, if
any, to support the development of our business and do not anticipate paying dividends in the
foreseeable future. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of
directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating
results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion.
Rights Plan
We are party to a rights agreement, as amended, pursuant to which a dividend consisting of one
preferred stock purchase right was distributed for each share of our common stock held as of the
close of business on September 13, 1999, and to each share of common stock issued thereafter until
the earlier of (i) the distribution date which is defined in the rights plan, (ii) the redemption
date which is defined in the rights plan or (iii) September 13, 2010. The rights plan is designed
to deter coercive takeover tactics and to prevent an acquirer from gaining control of us without
offering fair value to our stockholders. The rights will expire on September 13, 2010, subject to
earlier redemption or exchange as provided in the rights plan. Each right entitles its holder to
purchase from us one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of Series One Junior Participating
Preferred Stock at a price of $20.00 per one one-hundredth of a share, subject to adjustment. The
rights are generally exercisable only if a person acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of
our outstanding common stock, except that Efficacy Capital Ltd. is permitted to acquire beneficial
ownership of up to 40% of our common stock before these rights become exercisable.
A complete description of the rights, the rights plan with Computershare Trust Company, N.A.,
as rights agent, and the Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock is hereby incorporated by
reference from the information appearing under the caption Item 1. Description of the Registrants
Securities to be Registered contained in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on September

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following managements discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
historical consolidated financial statements and their notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to
future events and financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set
forth under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Overview
Repros Therapeutics Inc. (the Company, RPRX, Repros, 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 for major unmet medical needs.
Our current product pipeline (with the respective status of development) consists of the
following:
Proellex® (female reproductive health)
|
|
|
Phase 3 three-month pre-surgical treatment for women with anemia due to
excessive menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids, or anemia associated
with uterine fibroids, who may consider having a subsequent hysterectomy |
|
|
|
|
Phase 3 chronic treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids |
|
|
|
|
Phase 2 chronic treatment of symptoms associated with endometriosis |
Androxal® (male reproductive health)
|
|
|
Phase 2b proof-of-concept trial in men being treated for low testosterone levels
who want to improve or maintain their fertility and/or sperm number and function |
|
|
|
|
We intend to file an Investigational New Drug Application, or IND, in the first
half of 2009 for Androxal as a treatment for type 2 diabetes |
Our lead drug, Proellex®, is a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor and previously
was primarily being developed for the chronic treatment of symptoms associated with uterine
fibroids and endometriosis. During the first quarter of 2008 we filed an IND for Proellex for a
new indication as a short course pre-surgical treatment of anemia associated with uterine fibroids.
Uterine fibroids, anemia associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis affect a
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, approximately 300,000 women per year undergo a hysterectomy as a result of
severe uterine fibroids.
During the first quarter of 2008 we initiated activities relating to the following Proellex
clinical trials for patients with uterine fibroids:
|
|
|
Two 65-patient registration Pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials (ZPU-301 and ZPU-302)
with Proellex as a pre-surgical treatment for women with anemia associated with
uterine fibroids who may consider having a subsequent hysterectomy |
|
|
|
|
Two 75-patient registration Pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials (ZPU-303 and ZPU-304)
with Proellex for the chronic treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids |
|
|
|
|
Two 400-patient Open Label Safety Trials (ZPU-305 and ZPU-306) with Proellex for
the chronic treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids |
During 2008 we also had the following ongoing clinical development activities relating to
Proellex:
|
|
|
One U.S. Open Label Safety clinical trial (ZPU-003ext) with Proellex for the
treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids which was conducted with
patients previously treated in our prior U.S. Phase 2 (ZPU-003) clinical trial |
|
|
|
|
One U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial (ZPE-201) with Proellex for the treatment of
symptoms associated with endometriosis |
|
|
|
|
Several Phase 1 clinical safety trials |
-28-
|
|
|
Continued preclinical animal safety studies |
|
|
|
|
Manufacturing/production related activities |
We currently do not have reliable estimates regarding the timing of our Proellex clinical
trials. The length of time required to complete Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials and
long-term open label safety studies may vary substantially according to factors relating to the
particular clinical trial, such as the type and intended use of the drug candidate, the clinical
trial design and the ability to enroll suitable patients. We have had difficulty recruiting
patients into our Proellex clinical trials primarily due to the various test procedures that are
required for a patient to be treated for these three indications, which includes multiple
endometrial biopsies.
In addition, patients being treated for anemia associated with uterine fibroids who may elect to
have hysterectomies post treatment have encountered both patients and doctors not wanting to
be a part of those clinical trials due to this requirement. We have recently removed this
requirement and will leave this procedure up to the patient and their physician. Notwithstanding
the uncertainty described above, we currently estimate completion of our Proellex projects and the
submission of a NDA under the following timelines:
|
|
|
|
|
Pre-surgical treatment of anemia associated with uterine fibroids |
|
|
2010 |
|
Treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids |
|
Late 2010-2011 |
|

Our second product candidate, Androxal®, is a single isomer of clomiphene citrate and is an
orally active proprietary small molecule compound. 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 believe that we do not have a clear clinical path to
develop Androxal for this indication in the U.S. at this time. 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.
During the second quarter of 2008, we initiated a 24-patient Phase 2b proof-of-concept
clinical trial (ZA-201) for a new indication in which we are monitoring the effects of Androxal on
male fertility and testicular function in patients being treated for low testosterone as compared
to Testim®, a popular marketed topical testosterone medication. We anticipate holding an end of
Phase 2 meeting with the FDA during the second half of 2009. At this time it is too early in the
clinical development process to estimate when or even if a NDA will be filed with Androxal for this
indication.
In April 2008, Repros submitted a White Paper to the Division of Reproductive and Urology
Products, which we believe demonstrated in a previous conducted non-pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial
(ZA-003) with Androxal for the treatment of testosterone deficiency due to secondary hypogonadism,
that there was a statistically significant reduction in fasting plasma glucose and a higher
response rate in subjects with a plasma glucose of greater than or equal to 105mg/dL who were
treated with Androxal as compared with the placebo or Androgel®, a popular marketed topical
testosterone medication. In November 2008, we received guidance from the FDA suggesting submission
of a new IND to the Division of Metabolic and Endocrine Products, or DMEP, for the investigation of
Androxal as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes.
We plan to submit a new IND for this indication to the
DMEP in the first half of 2009. We anticipate conducting a Phase 2b proof-of-concept clinical
trial with Androxal post feedback from the FDA relating to this indication. At this time it is too
early in the clinical development process to estimate when or even if a NDA will be filed with
Androxal for this indication. This new indication replaces our previously announced plan to
develop Androxal in men with adult-onset idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, or AIHH, with
concomitant plasma glucose and lipid elevations, all of which are components of Metabolic Syndrome.
During 2008, we also continued our Androxal 104 patient long-term Open Label Safety Study
(ZA-003ext) and preclinical animal safety studies that will be used to support any potential future
Androxal clinical regulatory submissions.
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 product out-licensing.
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 in year 2009 as compared to year 2008 as we continue with
later-stage clinical trials, increase patient randomization into our larger open label safety
clinical trials, potentially initiate new clinical trials for additional indications and seek to
obtain regulatory approvals.

Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory
approvals could cause our research and development expenditures to increase and, in turn, have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations.
As with most biotechnology companies with drug candidates in development, the path to
marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, and comparable foreign
agencies for each such candidate is long and uncertain. The regulatory
process, both domestically and abroad, is a multi-year process with no certainty when and if a
drug candidate will be approved for commercial use. The development path for a particular drug
candidate typically includes a variety of clinical trials. While we have a general estimate of the
timeframe for our clinical trials, the actual anticipated completion dates for each of our drug
candidates are uncertain due to a wide variety of risks, including those described in the risk
factors in this 2008 Form 10-K. The length of time for a clinical trial may vary substantially
according to factors relating to the particular clinical trial, such as the type and intended use
of the drug candidate, the clinical trial design and the ability to enroll suitable patients. For
example, we have revised our original estimates for clinical trial completion and related New Drug
Application, or NDA, dates on several occasions over the past two years based on data received from
our clinical trials to date. In addition, it may be necessary to undertake additional
unanticipated clinical trials during the development path.
We will not receive any revenue from commercial sales unless we, or a potential partner,
complete the clinical trial process, obtain regulatory approval, and successfully commercialize one
or more of our product candidates. Similarly, we do not have a reasonable basis to predict when or
if material net cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of our drug candidates will occur.
To date, we have not commercialized any of our drug candidates to any material extent and in fact
may never do so. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with the timing and
costs of completing the development of the Companys drug candidates, see the section titled Risk
Factors.
Our results of operations may vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter, 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 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.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $147.2 million and had cash
and cash equivalents of $19.5 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 third quarter of 2009. We believe we can secure additional cash
resources through either the sale of our equity securities or through potential regional
out-licensing of
Proellex. It is 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 that we will secure sufficient capital to continue our currently planned clinical
programs without any significant delay or impact on such programs, assuming that the results of
our
ongoing Proellex clinical trials are favorable. If the
results of these trials are unfavorable, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in obtaining additional capital in amounts sufficient to continue to fund its operations
through either the out-licensing of Proellex, the sale of equity securities, or other alternative
sources of funding, which outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The
uncertainties relating to the foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern over the next twelve months.
Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under our ticker symbol, RPRX.
Effective January 8, 2008, we voluntarily withdrew the listing of our common stock from NYSE Arca,
Inc., formerly the Pacific Exchange, in order to streamline administrative requirements and reduce
expenses.
We are an accelerated filer and are subject to additional financial regulatory requirements,
including Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which requires us to include in this annual report a
report by management on our internal control over financial reporting and an accompanying auditors
report. These additional activities have resulted in increased costs to us and will result in
future increased costs as we maintain compliance with these requirements.
We have 10 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. We are substantially dependent on our
various contract groups to adequately perform the activities required to obtain regulatory approval
of our products.
We had an accumulated deficit of $147.2 million as of December 31, 2008. The value of the tax
asset associated with this accumulated deficit can be substantially diminished in value to us due
to various tax regulations, including change in control provisions in the tax code. For additional
information relating to our net operating loss carryforward, see Note 6. Federal Income Taxes of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Losses have resulted principally from costs
incurred in conducting clinical
-30-
trials for our product candidates, in research and development
activities related to efforts to develop our products and from the associated administrative costs
required to support those efforts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully
complete the transition from a development stage company to the successful introduction of
commercially viable products. Our ability to achieve profitability will depend, among other
things, on successfully completing the clinical development of our products in a reasonable time
frame and at a reasonable cost, obtaining regulatory approvals, establishing marketing, sales and
manufacturing capabilities or collaborative arrangements with others that possess such
capabilities, our and our partners ability to realize value from our research and development
programs through the commercialization of those products and raising sufficient funds to finance
our
activities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability or that
profitability, if achieved, can be sustained. See Item 1. Business Risk Factors and Note 1.
Organization and Operations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Please see Note 2, Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies, for a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies.
A brief summary of our accounting policies is provided below.
Investments
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. Debt securities for which we have the ability and intent to hold to maturity are
classified as held to maturity. Securities we designate 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. Due to the volatility of the financial markets at December 31,
2008, we had no marketable securities and held our cash in either an insured bank account or a
money market mutual fund backed by U.S. Securities. At December 31, 2007, all securities were
classified as trading securities.
Prior to the disruption of the financial markets, our investments typically included corporate
bonds and notes, Euro-dollar bonds, taxable auction securities and asset-backed securities. Our
policy is to require minimum credit ratings of A2/A and A1/P1 with maturities of up to three years,
excluding taxable auction securities. These securities were classified as trading securities and
were valued in our financial statements at their fair value. Our policy required that the average
life of the investment portfolio, excluding taxable auction securities, may not exceed 24 months.
Capitalized Patent Costs
We capitalize the cost associated with building our patent library for Proellex and Androxal.
As of December 31, 2008, other assets consist of capitalized patent costs in the amount of
$1,713,000. Patent costs, which include legal and application costs related to the patent
portfolio, are being amortized over 20 years, or the lesser of the legal or the estimated economic
life of the patent. Amortization of patent costs was $27,000, $10,350, and $71 in 2008, 2007 and
2006, respectively. Of the $1,713,000 in capitalized patents, $759,000 related to Proellex patents
and $954,000 related to Androxal patents.
We review capitalized patent costs for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when
estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the patent are less than its carrying
amount. The impairment loss recognized represents the excess of the patent cost as compared to its
estimated fair value. We believe that our capitalized patent costs are not impaired as of December
31, 2008.
Accrued Expenses
We estimate accrued expenses as part of our process of preparing financial statements.
Examples of areas in which subjective judgments may be required include costs associated with
services provided by contract organizations for clinical trials, preclinical development and
manufacturing of clinical materials. We accrue for costs incurred as the services are being
provided by monitoring the status of the trials or services provided and the invoices received from
our external service providers. In the case of clinical trials, a portion of the estimated cost
normally relates to the projected cost to treat a patient in our trials, and we recognize this cost
over the estimated term of the study based on the number of patients enrolled in the trial on an
ongoing basis, beginning with patient enrollment. As actual costs become known to us, we adjust
our accruals. To date, our estimates have not differed significantly from the actual costs
incurred. However, we are expanding the level of our clinical trials and related services. As a
result, we anticipate that our estimated accruals for clinical services will be more material to
our operations in future periods. Subsequent changes in estimates may result in a material change
in our accruals, which could also materially affect our balance sheet and results of operations.
-31-
R&D Expense
Research and development, or R&D, expenses include salaries and related employee expenses,
contracted regulatory affairs activities, insurance coverage for clinical trials and prior product
sales, contracted research and consulting fees, facility costs and internal research and
development supplies. We expense research and development costs in the period they are incurred.
These costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with specific projects as well as fees
paid to various entities that perform research on our behalf.
Share-Based Compensation
We have two stock-based compensation plans at December 31, 2008, the 2000 Non-Employee
Directors Stock Option Plan, or 2000 Director Plan and the 2004 Stock Option Plan, or 2004 Plan.
We account for our stock-based compensation plans under FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payments (SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) generally requires the recognition of the cost of employee
services for share-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability
instruments issued. Under SFAS 123(R), we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate
the fair value of our stock options. Expected volatility is determined using historical
volatilities based on historical stock prices for a period equal to the expected term. The
expected volatility assumption is adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical
experience. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are
expected to be outstanding and falls between the options vesting and contractual expiration dates.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield at the date of grant of a zero-coupon U.S.
Treasury bond whose maturity period equals the options expected term.
Income Taxes
We have had losses since inception and, therefore, have not been subject to federal income
taxes. We have accumulated approximately $2.6 million of research and development tax credits. As
of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $129.9 million of net operating loss, or NOL,
carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes. Additionally, approximately $2.4 million of NOLs,
and approximately $81,000 of research and development tax credits, expired in 2008. Under SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes, an NOL requires the recognition of a deferred tax asset.
However, a valuation allowance must be recorded for deferred tax assets whose recovery is deemed
unlikely. As we have incurred losses since inception, and there is no certainty of future
revenues, our deferred tax assets have been reserved in full in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
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 implementation of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities will not have a material impact on our 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 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 implementation of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Revenues and Other Income. Total revenues and other income, which was comprised of interest
income for the years ended 2008 and 2007, decreased 71% to $433,000 in 2008 as compared to $1.5
million for 2007. This decrease was primarily due to lower combined cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities balances and reduced interest rate yields that have occurred as we moved our
cash investments solely into money market mutual fund.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development, or R&D, expenses include
contracted services relating to our clinical product development activities which include
preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory affairs and bulk manufacturing scale-up activities
and bulk active ingredient purchases for preclinical and clinical trials primarily relating to our
two products in clinical development, which are Proellex and Androxal. Research and development
expenses also include internal operating expenses
relating to our general research and development activities. R&D expenses increased 82% or
approximately $10.2 million to $22.6 million for the year ended 2008 as compared to $12.4 million
in 2007. Our primary R&D expenses for 2008 and 2007 are shown in the following table (in

To date through December 31, 2008 we have incurred approximately $36.8 million for the
development of Proellex and approximately $13.6 million for the development of Androxal. These
accumulated costs exclude any internal operating expenses. We are currently developing Proellex
for three indications which include a pre-surgical treatment of anemia associated with uterine
fibroids, a chronic treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and as a chronic
treatment of symptoms associated with endometriosis. We are currently developing Androxal as a
treatment for men with low testosterone that want to maintain or improve their fertility and sperm
function. In addition, we are exploring the feasibility of developing Androxal as a treatment for
Type 2 diabetes. Prior to 2008, we were developing Androxal as a
treatment for men with low testosterone due to secondary hypogonadism.
Proellex clinical development expenses increased 167% or approximately $11.1 million to
approximately $17.8 million for the year ended 2008 as compared to $6.7 million in 2007. The
increase in Proellex clinical development expenses is shown in the following table (in thousands):

Prior to 2008 we were developing Proellex for two indications which include a chronic
treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis. During the first quarter
of 2008 we filed an IND with Proellex for a new indication as a short course pre-surgical treatment
of anemia associated with uterine fibroids. Proellex clinical expenses for the years ended 2008
and 2007 include Phase 1, Phase 2,
Phase 3 and long-term Open Label Safety study activities.
Preclinical study expenses reflect animal safety activities required by the FDA to file a NDA.
Formulation and dosage expenses reflect activities associated with the bulk scale-up and purchase
of active drug to conduct clinical trials and to meet any potential future NDA submission
requirements.

Androxal clinical development expenses decreased 40% or approximately $1.6 million to $2.4
million for the year ended 2008 as compared to $3.9 million in 2007. The decrease in Androxal

Prior to 2008 we were developing Androxal as a treatment for testosterone deficiency due to
secondary hypogonadism by restoring normal testosterone production in males with functional testes.
As a result of a Type C meeting held with the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, on October
15, 2007 we believe that we do not have a clear clinical path to develop Androxal for this
indication in the U.S. at this time and discontinued clinical efforts for that indication except
for the continuation of a long-term Open Label Safety study that was already underway and we
believe could be used as safety data for our other indications. During 2008 we initiated a
clinical development program with Androxal as a treatment for men being treated for low
testosterone that want to maintain or improve their sperm function during treatment.
Clinical trial expenses during 2008 and 2007 primarily reflect a non-Pivotal Phase 3 and
long-term Open Label Safety study activities. Preclinical study expenses reflect animal safety
activities required by the FDA to file a NDA. Formulation and dosage expenses reflect activities
associated with the bulk scale-up and purchase of active drug to conduct clinical trials and to
meet any potential future NDA submission requirements.
R&D payroll and benefit expense include salaries, non-cash stock option compensation expense
and fringe benefits which increased 30% or approximately $265,000 to $1.2 million for the year
ended 2008 as compared to $889,000 in 2007. This increase is primarily due to an increase in
headcount and an increase in non-cash stock option compensation of $135,000. Included in payroll
and benefit expense is a charge for non-cash stock option expense of $389,000 for the year ended
2008 as compared to $255,000 in the year 2007.
R&D operating and occupancy increased 36% or approximately $331,000 to approximately $1.3
million for the year ended 2008 as compared to $932,000 in 2007. The increase in 2008 is primarily
due to an increase in clinical development related consulting expenses of approximately $348,000.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses, or G&A, increased
10% to approximately $3.1 million for 2008 as compared to $2.8 million for 2007. Our primary G&A

G&A payroll and benefit expense of $1.5 million for both 2008 and 2007, include salaries,
bonuses, non-cash stock option compensation expense and fringe benefits. Included in payroll and
benefit expense is a charge for non-cash stock option expense of $482,000 for the year ended 2008
as compared to $625,000 in the year 2007. Additionally, salaries for the year ended 2008 were
$891,000 as compared to $763,000 for 2007.
G&A operating and occupancy expenses, which include expenses to operate as a public company,
increased 22% or approximately $283,000 to $1.6 million in 2008 as compared to $1.3 million in
2007. The increase is primarily due to an increase in professional services of $321,000 offset by
a decrease in various administrative and travel expenses.
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
Revenues and Other Income. Total revenues and other income, which was comprised of interest
income for the years ended 2007 and 2006, increased 153% to $1.5 million in 2007 as compared to
$596,000 for 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase
-34-
in invested marketable
securities as a result of the completion of our public offering on February 5, 2007 in which we
received approximately $33.1 million in net proceeds.
Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses include contracted services relating to our
clinical product development activities which include preclinical studies, clinical trials,
regulatory affairs and bulk manufacturing scale-up activities and bulk active
ingredient purchases for preclinical and clinical trials primarily relating to our two
products in clinical development, which are Proellex and Androxal. Research and development
expenses also include internal operating expenses relating to our general research and development
activities. R&D expenses increased 4% or approximately $508,000 to $12.4 million for the year
ended 2007 as compared to $11.9 million in 2006. Our primary R&D expenses for 2007 and 2006 are

During 2007 and 2006 Proellex was being developed to treat symptoms associated with uterine
fibroids and endometriosis. Clinical trial expenses primarily reflect Phase 1, Phase 2 and
long-term Open Label Safety study activities. Preclinical study expenses reflect animal safety
activities required by the FDA to file a NDA. Formulation and dosage expenses reflect activities
associated with the bulk scale-up and purchase of active drug to conduct clinical trial activities
and to meet any potential future NDA submission requirements.
Androxal clinical development expenses decreased 6% or approximately $242,000 to $3.9 million
for the year ended 2007 as compared to $4.2 million in 2006. The decrease in Androxal clinical
development expenses is shown in the following table (in thousands):

During 2007 and 2006 Androxal was being developed 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. Clinical trial expenses
during these periods primarily reflect non-Pivotal Phase 3 and long-term Open Label Safety study
activities. Preclinical study expenses reflect animal safety activities required by the FDA to
file a NDA. Formulation and dosage expenses reflect activities associated with the bulk scale-up
and purchase of active drug to conduct clinical trial activities and to meet any potential future
NDA submission requirements.
R&D payroll and benefit expense include salaries, non-cash stock option compensation expense
and fringe benefits which increased 71% or approximately $370,000 to $889,000 for the ended 2007 as
compared to $519,000 in 2006. This increase is
-35-
primarily due to the hiring of a Chief Medical
Officer in December 2006 and related expenses in which we incurred a full year of expense during
2007. We also incurred approximately $255,000 in non-cash stock option expense for the year ended
2007 as compared to $127,000 in the year 2006.
R&D operating and occupancy increased 47% or approximately $300,000 to $932,000 for the year
ended 2007 as compared to $632,000 in 2006. The increase in 2007 is primarily due to an increase
in clinical development related consulting expenses of approximately $242,000 and an increase in
travel expenses of $32,000.
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses decreased 3% to approximately $2.8 million
for 2007 as compared to $2.9 million for 2006. The decrease in expenses is primarily due to a
decrease of $156,000 in professional services. Our primary G&A expenses for 2007 and 2006 are shown
in the following table (in thousands):

G&A payroll and benefit expense, include salaries, bonuses, non-cash stock option compensation
expense and fringe benefits which decreased 2% or approximately $33,000 to $1,489,000 for the year
ended 2007 as compared to $1,522,000 in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in
non-cash stock option compensation which was approximately $625,000 for the year ended 2007 as
compared to $662,000 in the prior year.
G&A operating and occupancy expenses decreased 4% or approximately $58,000 to $1.3 million in
2007 as compared to $1.4 million in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in
professional services offset by an increase in various administrative and travel expenses.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As
of December 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements except operating leases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from private
placements and public offerings of equity securities and with funds received under collaborative
agreements.
On October 2, 2008, we completed a direct registered offering of 2.4 million shares of our
common stock at a purchase price of $6.50 per share for net proceeds after expenses of
approximately $15.6 million pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement. Certain of the
purchasers in this offering were granted in their purchase agreements an option to purchase an
aggregate of up to $10 million of additional shares of our common stock at the greater of the fair
market value, defined as the average of the closing prices for the 30 trading days immediately
prior to the date of exercise, or $7.80 per share. Such option becomes exercisable at such time as
we have less than $10 million in cash and cash equivalents and expires on September 29, 2009. In
addition, the purchasers who received such option also received a right of first offer to purchase
their respective pro-rata portion of any future financings, excluding certain corporate activities
that expire on September 29, 2010.
As part of the terms of the October 2, 2008 financing, we amended our Standstill Agreement
with Efficacy Capital Ltd. to permit Efficacy Capital to own up to 40% of our outstanding shares of
stock and to permit Efficacy Capital to designate two directors to serve on our Board of Directors.
Pursuant to that amendment, the Board increased its number to nine and appointed Mark Lappe, a
Managing Partner of Efficacy Capital, and John C. Reed, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of Burnham
Institute for Medical Research, to the vacancies on the Board created by such increase. The
Company amended its Rights Agreement to reflect the increase to 40% described above. Prior to this
on January 9, 2008, we entered into an amendment to our rights agreement to permit Efficacy Capital
to acquire up to 33% of our outstanding common stock, subject to a standstill agreement. The
standstill agreement contains customary covenants and obligations restricting Efficacy from taking
certain actions with respect to its shares.
We plan to use the proceeds from the October 2, 2008 financing to fund our research and
development activities, including the ongoing registration Pivotal Phase 3 trials of its lead
product candidate, Proellex, as a pre-surgical short course treatment of anemia associated with
uterine fibroids and as a chronic treatment of uterine fibroids and our Phase 2 clinical trial for
the treatment of endometriosis as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In November 2008, we filed a Form S-3 shelf registration statement (Reg. No. 333-155265) to
register up to 6,282,052 shares of our common stock, which includes 1,282,052 shares related to the
purchase option provided to the investors described above and an
-36-
additional 5 million shares for
future offerings. This registration statement was declared effective on November 26, 2008 and
remains effective for three years after such date.
We also 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 and in February 2005, we completed a public offering of 5,060,000 shares of our
common stock for net proceeds of approximately $18.1 million.
Our primary use of cash to date has been in operating activities to fund research and
development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials, and general and administrative
expenses. We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.5 million as of December 31, 2008
as compared to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $25.9 million as of December 31,
2007.
Net cash of approximately $21.7 million, $13.6 million, and $10.1 million was used in
operating activities during 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The major uses of cash for
operating activities during 2008 was to fund our clinical development programs and associated
administrative costs, net of interest income, of $25.2 million. Cash provided by investing
activities was $23.6 million in 2008 primarily from the sale of trading marketable securities.
Cash provided by financing activities in 2008 was approximately $15.9 million primarily relating to
the direct registered offering of 2.4 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of
$6.50 per share for net proceeds after expenses of approximately $15.6 and the payment of $327,320
by Efficacy Capital as disgorgement of short swing profits.
We have had losses since inception and, therefore, have not been subject to federal income
taxes. We have accumulated approximately $2.6 million of research and development tax credits. As
of December 31, 2008 we had approximately $129.9 million of NOLs for federal income tax purposes.
Additionally, approximately $2.4 million of NOLs, and approximately $81,000 of research and
development tax credits expired in the year 2008. Due to various tax regulations, including change
in control provisions in the tax code the value of this tax asset to us can be substantially
diminished. For additional information relating to our NOLs, see Note 6. Federal Income Taxes of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have experienced negative cash flows from operations 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 third quarter of 2009. There can be no assurance that
changes in our current strategic plans or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected
expenditures.
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, 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. The uncertainties relating to the foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The Company leases laboratory and office space, and equipment pursuant to leases accounted for
as operating leases. The lease for the Companys laboratory and office space expires in June 2010.
Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, was approximately $59,000,
$63,000 and $53,000, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases with
original terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2008, are as follows (in thousands):

In addition, in December 2008 we committed to the purchase of $3 million of the bulk active
ingredient of Proellex which is to be produced under a new scaled-up amended manufacturing process
by Gedeon Richter. Under this Purchase Request we are obligated to make four payments of $750,000
each aggregating $3 million which are expected to be made during 2009, assuming that the
manufacturer meets the criteria of the Purchase Request. We expect to receive this material in the
fourth quarter of 2009 and recognize the expense associated with this purchase when this material
is received from the manufacturer. This Purchase Request contains certain provisions in which any
dollars paid to this manufacturer under the Purchase Request will be returned if the manufacturer
can not meet their obligations under this Purchase Request by March 31, 2010. This Purchase
Request also contains language in which both parties may amend the payment criteria and terms of
the purchase if the new terms are agreed to by both parties.
In addition to our lease agreement listed above and manufacturing agreements disclosed under
Part I Item 1. Business Manufacturing, we have entered into several substantial agreements
with four CROs to conduct our Proellex clinical trials. Even though these are substantial
contracts and the term on one of them is estimated to potentially
last through the year 2010, all
contracts can be cancelled and we would only be responsible for services rendered through the
cancellation period.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk. We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.5 million as of
December 31, 2008 which is primarily held in a money market mutual fund backed by U.S. government
securities. Although this cash account is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and market
conditions, no significant gain or loss on this account is expected to be recognized in earnings.
We do not invest in derivative securities.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC,
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO
have each concluded that as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over
financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management evaluated the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on
the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of
-38-
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.
Based on managements evaluation, management has concluded that internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited and
issued their report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008, which appears herein.
Changes in Internal Control
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter
ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Repros Therapeutics, Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2008, and the statements of stockholders equity for each of the seven years in the period
ended December 31, 2008 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Repros
Therapeutics, Inc. and subsidiary (collectively, the Company), a development stage company, at
December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, and cumulatively for the period January 1,
2002 through December 31, 2008 (not separately presented) in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained,
in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management
is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing
under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the
Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We did not audit the
cumulative totals of the Company for the period from August 20, 1987 (date of inception) to
December 31, 2001, which totals reflect a deficit of $75.8 million accumulated during the
development stage. The cumulative totals for the period January 1, 1994 to December 31, 2001 were
audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed unqualified
opinions on the consolidated financial statements for the three years in the period ended December
31, 2001, the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999, the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1997, and the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 dated
February 6, 2002, February 2, 2001, February 2, 2000, January 26, 1999, March 24, 1998, and March
11, 1997, respectively. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over
financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company is a development stage company, has an accumulated deficit, and projects it will need
to raise additional capital in 2009. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to this matter are also
described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (iii) provide reasonable
F-1
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Zonagen, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zonagen, Inc. (a Delaware
corporation in the development stage), and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has operated as a
development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to
raising capital and performing research and development. In order to complete the research and
development and other activities necessary to commercialize its products, additional financing will
be required. Managements current projections indicate that the Company can conserve its cash
resources to maintain the Companys operations through 1997. Managements plans in regard to those
matters are also described in Note 1.
In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zonagen, Inc., and subsidiary
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS:
Repros Therapeutics Inc. (the Company, RPRX, 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 for major unmet medical needs that 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 associated with uterine fibroids, or anemia associated with uterine
fibroids. There is no currently approved effective long-term orally administered drug treatment
for uterine fibroids or endometriosis. In the United States alone, approximately 300,000 women per
year undergo a hysterectomy as a result of severe 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. In November 2008, we received
guidance from the FDA suggesting submission of a new IND to the Division of Metabolic and Endocrine
Products, or DMEP, for the investigation of Androxal as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes.
We plan to submit a new IND for this indication to the DMEP as soon as practicable.
Previously we were 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 believe we
do not have a clear clinical path to develop Androxal for this indication in the U.S. at this time.
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 product out-licensing.
On January 9, 2008, we entered into an amendment to our rights agreement to permit Efficacy
Capital to acquire up to 33% of our outstanding common stock, subject to a standstill agreement.
The standstill agreement contains customary covenants and obligations restricting Efficacy from
taking certain actions with respect to its shares. As part of the standstill agreement, we agreed
to appoint Mark Lappe, Managing Partner at Efficacy, as a director should he elect to do so, and to
provide Efficacy with observer rights at our board meetings.
On October 2, 2008, we completed a direct registered offering of 2.4 million shares of our
common stock at a purchase price of $6.50 per share for net proceeds after expenses of
approximately $15.6 million pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement. Certain of the
purchasers in this offering were granted in their purchase agreements an option to purchase an
aggregate of up to $10 million of additional shares of our common stock at the greater of the fair
market value, defined as the average of the closing prices for the 30 trading days immediately
prior to the date of exercise, or $7.80 per share. Such option becomes exercisable at such time as
we have less than $10 million in cash and cash equivalents and expires on September 29, 2009. In
addition, the purchasers who received such option also received a right of first offer to purchase
their respective pro-rata portion of any future financings, excluding certain corporate activities
that expire on September 29, 2010.
In connection with this sale of our common stock, we filed a Form S-3 shelf registration
statement (Reg. No. 333-155265) on November 10, 2008 to cover the issuance of up to 5,000,000
shares in future offerings and up to 1,282,052 shares underlying the purchase option described
above. This registration statement, as amended, was declared effective on November 26, 2008 and
will remain in effect for three years thereafter unless it is otherwise terminated or the shares
underlying such registration statement are exhausted. In addition, we submitted to our
stockholders at a special meeting held on December 16, 2008 a proposal to amend our Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 20
million shares to 30 million shares to cover the 5,000,000 shares that were registered in this
registration statement, among other things. Our stockholders approved this proposal at the special
meeting.
F-18
As part of the terms of the October 2, 2008 financing, we amended our Standstill Agreement
with Efficacy Capital Ltd. to permit Efficacy Capital to own up to 40% of our outstanding shares of
stock and to permit Efficacy Capital to designate two directors to serve on our Board of Directors.
Pursuant to that amendment, the Board increased its number to nine and appointed Mark Lappe, a
Managing Partner of Efficacy Capital, and John C. Reed, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of Burnham
Institute for Medical Research, to the vacancies on the Board created by such increase. The
Company amended its Rights Agreement to reflect the increase to 40% described above.
The Company plans to use the proceeds from the financing to fund its research and development
activities, including the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 trials of its lead product candidate, Proellex,
as a pre-surgical short course treatment of anemia associated with uterine fibroids and as a
chronic treatment of uterine fibroids and its Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of
endometriosis as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On July 3, 2008, Efficacy Capital 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 has been reported as additional paid in capital during
the year ended December 31, 2008. Efficacy is an affiliate of the Company as a result of its
beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the Companys common stock.
As of December 31, 2008, we had accumulated losses of $147.2 million and had cash and cash
equivalents of $19.5 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. Our goal, if possible, is to move certain clinical activities into the latter part
of the year post the receipt of additional funding without jeopardizing our current clinical
development timeline. Based on our current planned clinical programs, we will need to raise
additional capital in the third quarter of 2009. The uncertainties relating to the foregoing
matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next
twelve months.
We
believe we can secure additional cash resources through either the sale of our equity
securities or the potential regional out-licensing of Proellex.
However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in obtaining additional capital in amounts sufficient to continue to
fund its operations and product development. If we are not able to raise capital through
out-licensing Proellex or the sale of equity securities, or cannot locate an alternative source of
financing, the outcome would have a material adverse effect on us and the clinical development
timeline of our product candidates. If we are not able to raise adequate capital for our clinical
development plans, then we will have to adjust our plans, which will delay the approval process of
our product candidates.
Our results of operations may vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter, 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 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.
Our accumulated deficit of $147.2 million primarily relates to costs that were incurred in
research and development activities related to efforts to develop our product candidates and from
the associated administrative costs required to support those efforts. Due to various tax
regulations, including change in control provisions in the tax code, the value of the tax asset
created by these accumulated losses can be substantially diminished. For additional information
relating to our net operating loss carryforward see Note 6 Federal Income Taxes of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-19
CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Our product candidates under development require approval from the FDA or other international
regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance our product candidates
will receive the necessary clearance. If we are denied clearance or clearance is delayed, it may
have a material adverse impact on us.
Our product candidates are concentrated in rapidly changing, highly competitive markets, which
are characterized by rapid technological advances, evolving regulatory requirements and industry
standards. Any failure by us to anticipate or to respond adequately to technological developments
in our industry, changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, or any significant
delays in the development or introduction of products or services, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and future cash flows.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all cash accounts and highly liquid investments having original
maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
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. Due to the current financial markets, as of December 31, 2008,
as a means of protecting our cash resources, we invested all of our cash resources in either an
insured bank account or a money market mutual fund that is backed by U.S. government securities.
This money market mutual fund is recorded as cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance
sheet and is a level one security, as defined by SFAS 157. At December 31, 2007 all securities
were classified as trading securities and were all sold during 2008 without any losses.
Prior to September 30, 2008 the Companys investments typically included corporate bonds and
notes, Euro-dollar bonds, taxable auction securities and asset-backed securities. The Companys
investment policy is to require minimum credit ratings of A2/A and A1/P1 with maturities of up to
three years, except taxable auction securities. The average life of the investment portfolio,
other than taxable auction securities, may not exceed 24 months.

PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of prepaid insurance, prepaid
operating expenses and other miscellaneous assets, interest and other receivables. Please also see
discussion regarding Gedeon Richter in Note 10 for discussion of a prepaid commitment as of
December 31, 2008.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets include lab equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements and are recorded at
cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three to five years or, in the case of
leasehold improvements, amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining term of the
lease. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of assets are
F-20
expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in income during the
period in which the transaction occurred.
OTHER ASSETS
The Company capitalizes the cost associated with building its patent library for its Proellex
and Androxal products. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, other assets consist of capitalized
patent costs in the amount of $1,713,000 and $1,170,000 respectively. Patent costs, which include
legal and application costs related to the patent portfolio, are being amortized over the lesser of
20 years or the estimated economic life of the patent. Amortization of patent cost expense was
$27,000, $10,350 and $71 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Of the $1,713,000 in capitalized patent costs, $759,000 related to Proellex and $954,000
related to Androxal patents.
The Company reviews capitalized patent costs for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment
loss exists when estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the patent are less than
its carrying amount. The impairment loss recognized represents the excess of the patent cost as
compared to its estimated fair value. The Company has determined that its capitalized patent costs
are not impaired as of December 31, 2008.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GRANT REVENUE
The Company applies for research and development grants from the federal government usually in
the form of Small Business Innovation Research, or SBIR grants. When the Company is awarded one of
these research and development grants it is obligated to spend grant dollars on research activities
based on a budget that was submitted with the grant application. The Company typically billed the
federal government on a monthly basis after it has expended its funds for the grant activities. At
that time the Company recognizes research and development grant revenues. During 2002 the Company
was awarded three SBIR grants totaling in excess of $1 million. The last SBIR grant was depleted
during 2005.
R&D EXPENSE
Research and development, or R&D, expenses include salaries and related employee expenses,
contracted regulatory affairs activities, insurance coverage for clinical trials and prior product
sales, contracted research and consulting fees, facility costs and internal research and
development supplies. We expense research and development costs in the period they are incurred.
These costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with specific projects as well as fees
paid to various entities that perform research on our behalf.
We estimate accrued expenses as part of our process of preparing financial statements.
Examples of areas in which subjective judgments may be required include costs associated with
services provided by contract organizations for clinical trials, preclinical development and
manufacturing of clinical materials. We accrue for costs incurred as the services are being
provided by monitoring the status of the trials or services provided and the invoices received from
our external service providers. In the case of clinical trials, a portion of the estimated cost
normally relates to the projected cost to treat a patient in our trials, and we recognize this cost
over the estimated term of the study based on the number of patients enrolled in the trial on an
ongoing basis, beginning with patient enrollment. As actual costs become known to us, we adjust
our accruals. To date, our estimates have not differed significantly from the actual costs
incurred. However, we are expanding the level of our clinical trials and related services. As a
result, we anticipate that our estimated accruals for clinical services will be more material to
our operations in future periods. Subsequent changes in estimates may result in a material change
in our accruals, which could also materially affect our balance sheet and results of operations.
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 year. 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 applicable years all potential common stock equivalents were antidilutive
and accordingly were not included in the computation.
F-21
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has two stock-based compensation plans at December 31, 2008, which are described
more fully in Note 8.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123(R), Share-Based Payments (SFAS 123(R)) and are using the modified prospective method of
adoption, which does not require restatement of prior periods. SFAS 123(R) eliminated the
intrinsic value method of accounting for share-based employee compensation under APB Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which the Company previously used. SFAS 123(R)
generally requires the recognition of the cost of employee services for share-based compensation
based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.
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 implementation of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities will not have a material impact on our 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 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 implementation of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Company has had losses since inception and, therefore, has not been subject to federal
income taxes. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has accumulated approximately $2.6 million of
research and development tax credits. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately
$129.9 million of net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes.
Additionally, approximately $3.4 million of NOLs, and approximately $120,000 of research and
development tax credits will expire in 2009.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 provided for a limitation on the use of NOL and tax credit
carryforwards following certain ownership changes that could limit the Companys ability to utilize
these NOLs and tax credits. The sale of preferred stock, together with changes in stock ownership,
resulted in multiple ownership changes for federal income tax purposes. The Company estimates that
the amount of pre-2007 NOL carryforwards and the credits available to offset taxable income is
limited to approximately $7.6 million per year on a cumulative basis. Accordingly, if the Company
generates taxable income in any year in excess of its then cumulative limitation, the Company may
be required to pay federal income taxes even though it has unexpired NOL carryforwards.
Additionally, because U.S. tax laws limit the time during which NOLs and tax credit carryforwards
may be applied against future taxable income and tax liabilities, the Company may not be able to
take full advantage of its NOLs and tax credit carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
The Companys public offerings completed on February 5, 2007 and October 2, 2008 may have
created a change of ownership for Federal Income tax purposes. The Company has not undertaken a
study to determine if this has occurred. A change in ownership for Federal income tax purposes may
result in a limitation on the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in future
periods.
Under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, an NOL requires the recognition of a
deferred tax asset. As the Company has incurred losses since inception, and there is no certainty
of future revenues, a valuation allowance has been provided in full in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the
deferred tax assets are as follows (in thousands):

7. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY:
PUBLIC OFFERINGS
On October 2, 2008, we completed a direct registered offering of 2.4 million shares of our
common stock at a purchase price of $6.50 per share for net proceeds after expenses of
approximately $15.6 million pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement. Certain of the
purchasers under this offering were granted in their purchase agreements an option to purchase an
aggregate of up to $10 million of additional shares of our common stock at the greater of the fair
market value, defined as the average of the closing prices for the 30 trading days immediately
prior to the date of exercise, or $7.80 per share. Such option becomes exercisable at such time as
we have less than $10 million in cash and cash equivalents and expires on September 29, 2009. In
addition, the purchasers who received such option also received a right of first offer to purchase
their respective pro-rata portion of any future financings, excluding certain corporate activities
that expire on September 29, 2010.
On February 5, 2007, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 2,610,000 shares of
common stock at $13.75 per share. The net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this
offering were approximately $33.1 million.

8. STOCK OPTIONS AND EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN:
During 2008 the Company had two stock option plans available which were the 2000 Non-Employee
Directors Stock Option Plan, or 2000 Director Plan; and the 2004 Stock Option Plan, or 2004 Plan.
Due to the expiration of the Companys Amended and Restated 1993 Employee and Consultant Stock
Option Plan, or 1993 Plan, in May 2003, the Companys Board of Directors approved the 2004 Plan on
February 24, 2004. The 2004 Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2004 Annual Shareholders
Meeting which was held on September 29, 2004.
F-24
As of December 31, 2008, there were 221,326 options available under the 2004 Plan and no
available options under the 2000 Director Plan. The 2000 Director Plan has an evergreen provision
pursuant to which the number of shares available under such plan are automatically increased each
year on the day after the Companys Annual Shareholders Meeting by the number of shares granted
during the prior year under such plan (or by one-half percent of the Companys then outstanding
common stock, if greater). There are no significant differences between the provisions of the two
remaining plans other than with respect to the period of exercisability following termination of
services. Typically, options are granted with an exercise price per share which is equal to the
fair market value per share of common stock on the date of grant. Vesting provisions for each
grant are determined by the board of directors and typically vest quarterly over a three year
period. All options expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant date.
A summary of the status of the Companys option plans at December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 and
changes during the years then ended is presented in the tables below:

At December 31, 2008, there was approximately $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation
cost related to non-vested stock options. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over
a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.
Estimated fair values of stock options granted have been determined using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Due to our net operating loss position there are no anticipated windfall tax benefits upon
exercise of options.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) we recorded deferred compensation in equity for options
issued in the money under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Due to
the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, we reclassified $130,000 from deferred compensation
to additional paid-in capital.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model and other existing models were developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of and are highly sensitive
to subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The Companys employee
stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and changes
in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
9. LICENSE, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS:
NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH)
In 1999, we licensed rights to Proellex from the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, under
an exclusive, worldwide license in the field of treatment of human endocrinologic pathologies or
conditions in steroid sensitive tissues which expires upon the expiration of the last licensed
patent. Under the terms of the agreement, we are obligated to meet developmental milestones as
outlined in a commercial development plan. This development plan outlines a preclinical and
clinical program leading to the stated objective of submitting an NDA for regulatory approval of
Proellex for a first indication by June 30, 2009. We have requested a meeting with the NIH to
defer such date along with certain other milestones prior to such deadline. Although we believe we
have a good working relationship with the NIH and even though the NIH has amended our agreement on
several other occasions, no assurances can be given that such date or milestones will be revised.
We provide annual updates to the NIH on the progress of our development of Proellex. Based on
our interaction with the NIH to date, we believe our license and relationship with NIH are in good
standing. The NIH has the ability to terminate the agreement for lack of payment or if we are not
meeting milestones as outlined in the commercial development plan and for other reasons as outlined
in the agreement. Although we believe that we have a good working relationship with the NIH, there
can be no assurance that all of the objectives and conditions in the commercial development plan
will be met on a timely basis or at all, or that, if we fail to meet any of such objectives, the
NIH will again agree to amend this agreement to our satisfaction. Failure to comply with the
material terms contained in the license agreement could result in termination of such agreement,
which would prohibit us from further development of Proellex and severely harm our business
prospects. The NIH retains, on behalf of the government, a nonexclusive, nontransferable,
worldwide license to practice the inventions licensed under the licensed patents by or on behalf of
the government. For the purpose of encouraging basic research, the NIH retains the right to grant
nonexclusive research licenses to third parties. Due to the work that was done on Proellex at the
NIH prior to our license agreement, the government also has certain rights to use the product in
the event of a national emergency pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Laws Amendments Act of 1980,
as amended.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
See footnote 4 for a discussion of our operating lease commitments.
In addition, under a December 2008 Purchase Request, we committed to the purchase of $3
million of the bulk active ingredient of Proellex which is to be produced under a new scaled-up
amended manufacturing process by Gedeon Richter. Under this Purchase Request we are obligated to
make four payments of $750,000 each aggregating $3 million which are expected to be made during
2009, assuming that the manufacturer meets the criteria of the Purchase Request. We expect to
receive this material in the fourth quarter of 2009 and recognize the expense associated with this
purchase when this material is received from the manufacturer. This Purchase Request contains
certain provisions in which any dollars paid to this manufacturer under the Purchase Request will
be returned if the manufacturer cannot meet their obligations under this Purchase Request by March
31, 2010. This Purchase Request also provides that the payment criteria and terms of the purchase
shall be amended if the new terms are agreed to by both parties.
We have entered into several substantial agreements with four CROs to conduct our
Proellex clinical trials. Even though these are substantial contracts and the term on one of them
is estimated to potentially last through the year 2010, all contracts can be cancelled and we would
only be responsible for services rendered through the cancellation period.
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 33 issued foreign patents and 63 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 re-examination proceedings, which led the PTO to determine that the
amended claims are patentable in view of those publications under consideration and a
re-examination certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended claims are invalid
based on additional prior art publications, and our request for re-examination by the PTO in light
of a number of these additional publications and other publications cited by the PTO, has been
granted. All of the claims have been finally rejected in the re-examination. The patent holder
has appealed the rejections and has recently filed a Request for Oral Hearing. 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.
11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
A member of our Board of Directors is also a shareholder of a law firm that provides legal
services to the Company. Total fees charged by the firm to the Company during the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $275,000, $256,000 and $203,000, respectively.
