PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
Repros Therapeutics Inc., formerly known as Zonagen, 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 new drugs to treat hormonal and reproductive system
disorders. We are developing Proellex, a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor in women,
for the treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis. We are also developing Androxal, which
causes increased testosterone secretion from the testes, for the treatment of testosterone
deficiency in men resulting from secondary hypogonadism. During December 2006 we conducted interim
analyses of each of our three ongoing clinical trials to determine whether our calculation
regarding the number of patients enrolled in each study is appropriate and to assess whether
further clinical development of each product candidate, beyond completion of the current trials, is
warranted. These interim analyses were conducted internally and were not audited by a third party.
Upon completion of each of these trials, we will complete formal analyses of efficacy and safety
data and hold discussions with the appropriate regulatory agencies about further clinical
development requirements.
An interim analysis of our ongoing U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial of Proellex in uterine fibroid
patients demonstrated statistically significant reductions in excessive menstrual bleeding and an
improvement in quality of life scores versus placebo. Furthermore, after three months treatment,
no statistically significant change in endometrial thickness was observed. An interim analysis of
our ongoing European endometriosis Phase 1/2 clinical trial of Proellex demonstrated that treatment
with the highest dose of Proellex, 50 mg, achieved statistically significant reduction in days of
pain compared to treatment with Lupron®, the current pharmaceutical standard of care for the
treatment of endometriosis.
We have completed a U.S. Phase 1/2 clinical trial and an interim analysis from an ongoing
non-pivotal U.S. Phase 3 trial of Androxal for the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men
resulting from secondary hypogonadism. Both trials demonstrated statistically significant increases
in testosterone levels versus placebo, without suppression of luteinizing hormone, or LH. In our
current U.S. Phase 3 trial, at three months, Androxal restored testosterone levels to the normal
range in over 80% of patients treated.
We also continue to maintain our patent portfolio on 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 February 5, 2007, we completed a public offering of 2,610,000 shares of our common stock at
a purchase price of $13.75 per share. As a result of the offering, we received approximately $33.0
million in net proceeds which we intend to use to continue our clinical development of Proellex and
Androxal.

Business Strategy
Our primary business strategy is to concentrate our resources on the clinical development of
Proellex and Androxal. We intend to continue to outsource the clinical development programs for
both drugs and we will continue to operate in a near virtual manner. We have no current plans to
build manufacturing or sales and marketing capabilities, or to add additional technologies through
in-licensing at this time. We will seek to create value by developing our technologies to a point
that one or more significant corporate transactions can be completed. If necessary, we will seek to
access the capital markets at appropriate times based on our clinical trial results and development
needs.
Proellex
Market Overviews
Our lead product candidate, Proellex, is an orally active small molecule which we are
developing for two indications: the treatment of uterine fibroids and the treatment of
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 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 follicle stimulating hormone and leuteinizing
hormone.
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.
We believe Proellex may have advantages in treating uterine fibroids and endometriosis as
compared to treatment with GnRH agonists. In our previous and current human clinical trials, and
consistent with our preclinical studies, women treated with Proellex maintain baseline estrogen
levels. Therefore, we believe Proellex treatment may not result in estrogen-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 means that the compound will be required to undergo
the full regulatory approval process. Among other requirements, this includes a two-year
carcinogenicity study, which we began in mid-2006. We have also completed a nine-month primate
study to evaluate the effects of Proellex on the endometrium. This study showed no significant
toxicity at any dose, with the highest dose comparable to the highest dose in our human clinical
trials.
All clinical trial results are subject to review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or
FDA, and the FDA may disagree with our conclusions about safety and efficacy. We caution that the
results discussed herein are based on interim data from non-pivotal trials and that final Phase 2
and 3 data may not agree with these interim results.
Uterine Fibroids
Current Phase 2 Trial. We have completed enrollment of 128 patients in a randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial of Proellex. We are enrolling patients
that complete the blinded portion of this trial in a 12-month open label extension to gather
additional safety data. This trial is designed to assess both improvement of symptoms associated
with uterine fibroids as well as effects on the fibroid itself. The three-arm trial compares two
doses of Proellex, 12.5 mg and 25 mg, to placebo over a 12-week period. The primary endpoint is
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, also known
as PBAC. Further, pain associated with fibroids was assessed using a well validated tool, the
McGill pain score, and various other symptoms associated with fibroids were assessed using the
validated Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life, or UFS-QOL, questionnaire.
In December 2006, we announced an interim analysis of data from this trial. At that time of
analysis, 63 patients had completed the 12-week trial and had completed analyses for their trial
parameters. The data indicate that the women on Proellex in this trial experienced a dramatic
reduction in PBAC from mean scores of over 100 to scores less than 10, where higher scores indicate
greater
-3-
pain. The mean scores after three months of dosing for the 25 mg and 12.5 mg dose of
Proellex were 6.9 and 12.6, respectively. Women on placebo, on the other hand, exhibited a score of
91 after three months of treatment. The scores above represent a percentage reduction in PBAC
scores for placebo, the 12.5 mg arm of Proellex and the 25 mg arm of Proellex of 30.7%, 92.2% and
94.7%, respectively. The 12.5 mg and 25 mg doses were statistically superior to placebo.
Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Baseline versus Month 3
Women treated with 12.5 mg and 25 mg of Proellex for three months also experienced a reduction
in UFS-QOL measures from an average baseline of 16 to scores of 5.3 and 5.15, respectively. UFS-QOL
scores for women in the placebo arm decreased from an average baseline of 16 to 12.6 after three
months. The 12.5 mg and 25 mg doses were statistically significant as compared to placebo.
Women on Proellex experienced on average a reduction of 33.6 and 33.2 in McGill pain scores
for the 25 mg and 12.5 mg dose respectively. Women on placebo experienced an average reduction of
8.4 over the same three-month period. The 12.5 mg and 25 mg doses were statistically superior to
placebo.
After three months on treatment, no statistically significant changes in endometrial thickness
were detected among 100 women who underwent ultrasound measurements of endometrial thickness at
various time points. This trial uses an endometrial thickness cut-off of 14 mm after three months
of dosing to determine whether or not a woman is allowed to proceed into an ongoing open label
trial. At this time 16 patients have had endometrial thicknesses greater than 14 mm. Seven of the
patients were on placebo, six were on the 12.5 mg dose and three were on the 25 mg dose.
Importantly, to date, of the women who have had endometrial biopsies and have been on active drug
there has been no evidence of endometrial hyperplasia with atypia, a potential precursor for
endometrial cancer. We did not undertake a statistical analysis of safety data in our interim
assessment for this trial. In our previous clinical trial of Proellex for the treatment of uterine
fibroids, none of the patients in the Proellex dose arms or placebo arms of such trial exhibited
any statistically significant changes in biomarkers for bone resorption while patients on Lupron
exhibited statistically significant increases in biomarkers of bone resorption. The most frequent
adverse event observed in our current trial was amenorrhea, or lack of menstrual bleeding, which is
expected based on our previous clinical data for Proellex as well as its mechanism of action.
We have complied with an FDA request by forming an outside safety review board. The board
reviews unblinded safety data from the trial and has the ability to halt the trial at any time if
it determines that the data indicates that Proellex is not safe. To date, the board has taken no
action based on its ongoing review of our safety data other than to report the patient described
below with elevated liver enzymes as a serious adverse event. We have had two patients in this
trial exhibit serious adverse events, one of which was on placebo. The other patient, who was in
the 25 mg arm of our trial, exhibited elevated liver enzymes. After review of the patient by a
physician, it was determined that the liver enzymes were not seriously elevated.
Development Plan
We intend to discuss our pivotal clinical program with the FDA in mid-2007. We currently
anticipate that the pivotal program will include two additional placebo-controlled clinical trials
to demonstrate efficacy, which we expect to begin around year-end 2007. As with our current trial,
the primary endpoint will be reduction in PBAC versus placebo. PBAC is a validated and published
questionnaire designed to measure menorrhagia, or blood loss related to excessive menstrual
bleeding. Pursuant to FDA requirements, we are currently validating the PBAC endpoint for Proellex
for uterine fibroids. We anticipate completing this validation prior to commencing a Phase 3
clinical trial. Consistent with current regulatory policies, we will have to complete a number of
additional safety-focused clinical trials and preclinical studies, including the effect of Proellex
on the QT interval, a measure of the heart rate designed to provide information about potential
arrhythmia. We also expect to begin a larger open-label safety trial in late 2007. We believe the
earliest we can submit a New Drug Application, or NDA, for this indication would be in the fourth
quarter of 2008.

Endometriosis
Current Phase 1/2 Trial. We are currently conducting a six-month Phase 1/2 clinical trial
of Proellex in 39 endometriosis patients in a European trial being conducted in Bulgaria. The
primary objective of this trial is to assess the safety of Proellex in endometriosis patients. We
consider this trial to be a pilot trial with efficacy being a secondary objective, and we designed
the trial to determine whether we would commence development of Proellex for endometriosis in the United States. We
completed enrollment in October 2006. This trial compares three doses of double-blinded Proellex
against open label Lupron for up to six months of treatment. Proellex was administered in a
double-blind manner as a daily oral dose of 12.5 mg, 25 mg or 50 mg capsules. Patients in the trial
maintained daily pain diaries to record severity and frequency of pain as well as filling out an
endometriosis symptom survey at each office visit that included a questionnaire that evaluated,
among other related elements, distress associated with pain on a scale of 0-10 with 10 being the
greatest amount of distress. Although this trial was primarily designed to assess safety, we
evaluated patient responses to multiple exploratory pain-related endpoints.
As of December 2006, 34 women of the 39 enrolled had completed three months of dosing. We
conducted an interim analysis of data from these women. These data demonstrate that treatment with
the highest dosage of Proellex, 50 mg, achieved statistically significant pain reduction compared
to treatment with Lupron, the current pharmaceutical standard of care for the treatment of
endometriosis. On average, women treated with 50 mg Proellex reported 85.5 pain free days during
three months of treatment which amounts to 95% of the study days, compared to 61 pain free days, or
67.8% of study days, reported by patients on Lupron, a statistically significant difference
(p=0.02). Patients treated with 25 mg and 12.5 mg Proellex exhibited a dose-dependent reduction in
pain that did not reach statistical significance compared to Lupron (71.9% and 49.4% of study days
pain free, respectively). On days when pain was reported, the 50 mg dose of Proellex also exhibited
a statistically significant improvement in pain severity over Lupron (p=0.02) as well as over the
25 mg and 12.5 mg doses of Proellex.
Women treated with 50 mg Proellex also reported a significant reduction in pain-associated
distress after three months with only one woman reporting mild distress (scored at 1). Average
distress score for the 50 mg group was 0.125. Compared to baseline (average 50 mg group baseline
distress score was 6.8 out of 10 possible), the 50 mg dose of Proellex exhibited a highly
statistically significant reduction in distress score (p <0.001). Women treated with Lupron also
reported a significant, but less robust, reduction in pain-associated distress (average score equal
to 1.4 compared to average baseline score of 5.8). In this trial, we evaluated patient responses to
a non-validated questionnaire that contained eight questions relating to the number of days with
pain, severity, location and type of pain and distress. Overall, our data indicate a favorable
treatment effect for Proellex. For example, with respect to one of the questions, women in the 50
mg arm reported a 98% reduction in days of pain compared to baseline (p=0.009) whereas women in the
Lupron arm reported a 76% reduction in recollected days of pain compared to baseline (change not
significant).
The 12.5 mg and 25 mg doses of Proellex exhibited a dose-dependent reduction in distress as
measured by pain scores, but the reductions did not achieve statistical significance (3.2 compared
to 6.7 baseline for 25 mg and 3.8 compared to 4.8 baseline for 12.5 mg).
On average, the women in this treatment group receiving Lupron in the trial experienced a
reduction of estrogen to post-menopausal levels. Consistent with other clinical trials of Lupron,
women in this treatment group also experienced a statistically significant increase in biomarkers
of bone resorption and therefore an increased risk of bone loss over time. Significantly, all doses
of Proellex maintained estrogen concentrations in the low normal range. Furthermore, there were no
significant changes in biomarkers of bone resorption in any of the dose arms of Proellex.
The data also suggest an inverse dose dependent effect on endometrial thickness as measured by
ultrasound at baseline and three months. After three months on treatment, women receiving 50 mg
Proellex achieved a non-significant reduction in the thickness of the endometrium compared to
baseline, whereas women receiving 12.5 mg and 25 mg Proellex experienced a non-significant
thickening of the endometrium. Importantly, no women in the trial showed evidence of endometrial
hyperplasia with atypia, a potential precursor for endometrial cancer.
In this clinical trial to date, side effects of Proellex were generally mild with no apparent
drug-related toxicity to the liver. In two cases where non-menstrual spotting and bleeding was
observed in patients with excessive endometrial thickening, a dilation and curettage procedure was
administered to stop the bleeding. These cases occurred only at the lower doses of Proellex. A
similar event has not been seen at the 50 mg dose even though two of the patients have completed
the 6-month trial. We are enrolling patients that complete the randomized portion of this trial
into a 12-month open label extension to gather additional safety data.
Development Plan
We intend to submit a separate IND with the FDA for Proellex for the treatment of
endometriosis in the second quarter of 2007. With a favorable review of this IND by the FDA, we
plan to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of Proellex for the treatment of
-5-
endometriosis around mid-year 2007. We expect that this trial will compare 25 mg and 50 mg of Proellex to placebo. The
primary endpoint of this trial will be a clinically validated measure of dysmenorrhea, or pelvic
pain.
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 results obtained in early stage clinical
trials may be reversed by the results of later stage clinical trials with significantly larger and
more diverse patient populations treated for longer periods of time.
Androxal
Market Overview
Our second product candidate, Androxal (the trans isomer of clomiphene), is designed to
restore normal testosterone production in males with functional testes yet diminished pituitary
function, a common condition in the aging male. We believe Androxal may have advantages over
current therapies because it is being 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 will require additional clinical trials with more patients and
for a longer duration.
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 industry sources,
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, with reported sales of approximately $282
million in 2005 in North America.
Based on our own 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). The 194 patients enrolled were determined to have secondary
hypogonadism, which is caused by the pituitary deficiency described above. Secondary hypogonadism
is not relegated only to older men although the condition becomes more prevalent as men age.
Androxal is being considered as a new chemical entity by the FDA which means that the compound
will be required to undergo the full regulatory approval process. Among other requirements, this
includes a two-year carcinogenicity study, which we began in September 2006. 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 current clinical trial to date, we
have observed no evidence of any of these events except for certain adverse ophthalmologic events
in our preclinical study at doses significantly higher than those administered in the clinical
trials.
We have had previous discussions with the FDA regarding a special protocol assessment, or SPA,
for our registrational program for Androxal. When we complete our current Phase 3 trial and
validate our clinical endpoint, we intend to review the data with the FDA and continue the SPA
process.
Current Non-Pivotal Phase 3 Trial
We are currently conducting a 24-week 194 patient U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial of Androxal in
men with testosterone deficiency resulting from secondary hypogonadism. We consider this trial to
be non-pivotal for U.S. approval. However, it may serve as one of two pivotal efficacy trials for
approval in the European Union. We are enrolling patients that have completed the 24-week trial
into a 12-month open label extension to gather additional safety data. Interim data from this trial
suggest that, at this time in the trial, treatment with Androxal results in a statistically
significant increase in mean testosterone. Further, Androxal demonstrates non-inferiority in all
parameters measured, in all the primary endpoints of the trial, compared to Androgel.
This double-blind trial compares two doses of Androxal, 12.5 mg and 25 mg, to both placebo and
open-label Androgel, which was dosed according to physician instructions (including use of higher
doses where indicated). Testosterone levels as well as subjective measures of libido and distress
were assessed in trial participants. Distress was assessed using an unvalidated measure. The
-6-
primary endpoint of this trial is non-inferiority of Androxal in comparison to Androgel. During
December 2006, 112 patients completed 12 weeks of treatment and have had analyses completed for
their trial parameters.
In this interim analysis, men treated with 12.5 mg of Androxal experienced an increase in mean
testosterone of 210 ng/dL over baseline; those treated with 25 mg of Androxal experienced an
increase of 241 ng/dL over baseline; and those treated with open-label Androgel, administered at
any dose, experienced an increase of 167 ng/dL over baseline. As expected, men receiving placebo
experienced no statistically significant change in mean testosterone. After three months, the
percentage of men with a morning testosterone level above 300 ng/dL and below 1,040 ng/dL (the
range of testosterone levels in the blood generally considered normal) for placebo, Androgel, the
12.5 mg arm of Androxal and the 25 mg arm of Androxal were 26.7%, 58.6%, 81.5% and 80.8%,
respectively. The changes versus baseline for the 12.5 mg and 25 mg arms were statistically
significant.
Although neither men treated with Androxal nor those treated with Androgel reported a
significant increase in libido as determined using the DeRogatis Interview for Sexual Functioning,
also known as the DISF-SR scale, at this interim analysis, both doses of Androxal performed
comparably to Androgel. Likewise, although no statistically significant differences in distress, as
measured by the Male Sexual Dysfunction Survey, or MSDS scale, were recorded for men receiving
Androxal or Androgel, both doses of Androxal performed in similar fashion to Androgel. Numerically,
the 25 mg dose of Androxal produced the greatest reduction in distress followed by the 12.5 mg
dose. Both the DISF-SR, a validated libido questionnaire, and the MSDS, a questionnaire focusing on
distress associated with low testosterone, have been developed by Dr. Leonard DeRogatis, Ph.D.,
Director of the Center for Sexual Medicine at Sheppard Pratt, a private non-profit provider of
behavioral health services based in Maryland.
Although safety data for emergent side effects has not been completed during our interim
analysis, we have found no adverse events of concern in the trial. There was one reported serious
adverse event reported during the trial for one patient on placebo, but we have no additional
information relating to this event.
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
interim data and that final data may not agree with these interim results.
Development Plan
Unlike testosterone replacement therapies in which efficacy can be shown through mere
elevation of testosterone levels back to normal ranges, the FDA has noted that Androxal must
demonstrate a benefit over placebo on a relevant clinical endpoint. We intend to comply with the
FDAs request, develop a validated clinical test and revise our proposed Phase 3 pivotal efficacy
protocol to incorporate the FDAs other suggestions. We anticipate that this trial will begin
around the end of 2007, subject to available funding and timely and successful completion of our
initial Phase 3 trial. Consistent with guidance for approval of new chemical entities, we believe
that we will be required to study Androxals effect on the QT interval.
Other Products
We are continuing our limited development assessment and 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. These products have been on partial clinical hold in the United
States since 2000 due to brown fat being discovered in a two-year rat carcinogenicity study. The
United States is the only country where phentolamine-based products to treat sexual dysfunction are
on partial clinical hold. During the first quarter 2006, we met with the Ministry of Health in
Mexico regarding our second generation phentolamine-based products for the treatment of erectile
dysfunction: Bimexes, an oral therapy for men with mild to moderate impotence, and ERxin, an
injectable therapy for the treatment of severe erectile dysfunction. Initial assessment of the
outcome from this meeting suggests that both drugs could potentially be approved in Mexico after
completion of a successful single positive controlled registration trial to the satisfaction of the
Mexican Ministry of Health. Approval in Mexico can potentially lead to approvals in other Latin
American countries. We believe the current Latin American market for erectile dysfunction
therapies exceeds $230 million annually.
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 2006 were for the payment of
consultants and contract research organizations in connection with our clinical trials for Proellex
for the treatment of uterine fibroids and for Androxal for testosterone deficiency. In addition, we
anticipate incurring expenses relating to the clinical development of Proellex for endometriosis
and in obtaining regulatory approval. We believe that these expenses will continue to be our primary R&D expenses in the near
future.

Agreement with National Institutes of Health
In 1999, we licensed rights to Proellex from the 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 the treatment of
uterine fibroids. 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 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. We recently 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.
We have no long-term contract with suppliers of 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.
Sales and Marketing
We have no experience in the sales, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products. We
anticipate that we will outsource such activities, as well as possibly later stage pivotal trials
of our product candidates, to larger pharmaceutical companies more capable of distributing the
products to the market place, and we are presently engaged in exploring possible partnerships with
several companies. If in the future we fail to reach or elect not to enter into an arrangement with
a collaborative partner with respect to the sales and marketing of any of our future potential
product candidates, we would need to develop a sales and marketing organization with supporting
distribution capability in order to market such products directly. Significant additional
expenditures would be required for us to develop such a sales and marketing organization.
-8-
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, and a foreign filing made by the NIH regarding
Proellex. We also have five provisional U.S. patent applications and two non-provisional patent
applications pending in the United States and one foreign PCT application 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 three pending
patent applications and one issued U.S. patent. Foreign coverage of our Androxal product candidate
includes two issued foreign patents and 25 foreign pending patent applications and three PCT
applications. The issued patents and pending applications relate to methods and compositions for
treating certain conditions including the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men. Androxal
(the trans isomer of clomiphene) is purified from clomiphene citrate. A third party individual
holds two issued patents related to the use of an anti-estrogen such as clomiphene citrate and
others for use in the treatment of androgen deficiency and disorders related thereto. In our prior
filings with the SEC, we have described our request to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or
PTO, for re-examination of one of these patents based on prior art. The third party amended the
claims in the reexamination proceedings, which has since led the PTO to determine that the amended
claims are patentable in view of those publications under consideration and a reexamination
certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended claims are invalid based on additional
prior art publications, and our request for reexamination by the PTO
in light of a number of these additional publications and other
publications cited by the PTO, has been granted. We also believe that the
second of these two patents is invalid in view of published prior art not considered by the PTO. A
request for reexamination of this patent is pending. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that
either patent will ultimately be found invalid over the prior art. If such patents are not
invalidated, we may be required to obtain a license from the holder of such patents in order to
develop Androxal further. 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, with annual sales of $787.8 million in 2003 in the United States and Canada for all
indications. Lupron is marketed by TAP Pharmaceuticals, which has far greater resources and
marketing capabilities than we have. 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 being developed by TAP
Pharmaceuticals in partnership with Schering AG, is currently in Phase III 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 $310 million.
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. We believe we can compete with Androgel and
the other replacement therapies because we believe that Androxal avoids the 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.
-9-
The erectile dysfunction market is well established and intensely competitive. Our main
competitors are already existing products such as Viagra, which is marketed by Pfizer; Levitra®,
which is being marketed by Bayer AG outside the United States and GlaxoSmithKline and
Schering-Plough Corporation in the United States; and Cialis, which is being marketed by Icos
Lilly. In addition, there are several other biopharmaceutical companies that are also developing
products that would directly compete with our phentolamine-based products.
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
-10-
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 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.
Exchange Listings
On August 21, 2006 we transferred the listing of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital
Market to the NASDAQ Global Market under our ticker symbol, RPRX. Effective January 8, 2007, 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.
Employees and Consultants
Employees
At March 11, 2007, we had 8 full-time
employees. We also utilize part-time consultants as well as
-11-
contract research organizations and other outside specialty firms for various services such as clinical trial support, manufacturing
and regulatory approval advice. We may hire up to five employees over the next two years. 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 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, we have engaged two U.S. contract research
organizations to conduct our clinical trials. Pharm-Olam International Ltd. conducts our clinical
trials in the United States and Europe for Proellex for the treatment of uterine fibroids and for
Androxal for the treatment of testosterone deficiency, and Synergos to assist in the assessment and
preparation of the data for resubmission to the FDA. Under our arrangements with these contract
research organizations, we design the protocols for the clinical trials and direct the contract
research organizations in their efforts. Both Pharm-Olam and Synergos have agreed that we own all
of the data associated with the clinical trials.
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
Our product candidates are at an early clinical stage of development, and if we are not able
to successfully develop 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 trials. Androxal is in a
194 patient non-pivotal Phase 3 safety trial in the United States for the treatment of men with
testosterone deficiency, and Proellex is presently in a 128 patient Phase 2 trial in the United
States for the treatment of uterine fibroids and in a 39 patient Phase 1/2 trial in Europe for the
treatment of endometriosis. Based on our current interim data from the Phase 1/2 trial for Proellex
for the treatment of endometriosis, we intend to submit a U.S. investigational new drug
application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. 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.
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. Initial clinical
trials for Proellex and Androxal have been conducted only in small 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 and endometriosis or Androxal to treat testosterone deficiency. We will be
required to
-12-
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. There is typically an extremely high rate of attrition from the failure of drug
candidates proceeding through clinical trials. We will also be required to complete a two-year rat
carcinogenicity study 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.
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. Our existing
financial resources together with the $33.0 million from our 2007 offering are expected to be
sufficient to fund our operations into 2008, 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.
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, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $108.3 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.
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
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
-13-
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.
We recently commenced our non-pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for Androxal in the United States
for the treatment of men with testosterone deficiency and our Phase 2 clinical trial for Proellex
in the United States for the treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids. We also
recently commenced a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in Europe for the treatment of women suffering from
endometriosis. While interim results are encouraging, the final results from these programs may be
negative, may not meet expectations or may be perceived negatively. The design of these 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. We recently
commenced our non-pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for Androxal in the United States for the
treatment of men with testosterone deficiency and our Phase 2 clinical trial for Proellex in the
United States for the treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids. We also recently
commenced a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for Proellex in Europe for the treatment of women suffering
from endometriosis. We have limited experience conducting clinical trials for these product
candidates. In part, because of this limited experience, 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; |
|
|
|
|
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.
-14-
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; |
|
|
|
|
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 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
-15-
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 may 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. For example, clinical results that we have obtained for Androxal may not
predict results from studies in larger numbers of subjects drawn from more diverse populations
treated for longer periods of time. They also may not predict the ability of Androxal to achieve or
sustain the desired effects in the intended population or to do so safely. 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.
In addition, even if our products achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to maintain
that market acceptance over time if:
-16-
|
|
|
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. We recently 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.
We have no long-term contract with suppliers of 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 we will need to arrange for the production of significantly
larger quantities of Androxal, for future clinical trials and 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 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
-17-
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
and universities, in certain areas that are particularly relevant to our research and product
development plans, such as the conduct of clinical trials. Pharm-Olam International Ltd. conducted
our previous clinical trial in Poland for Proellex for the treatment of uterine fibroids and has
been engaged to conduct our clinical trials in the United States for Proellex for uterine fibroids
and Androxal for the treatment of testosterone deficiency and our clinical trial in Europe for
Proellex 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.
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 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.
-18-
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, which is marketed by TAP Pharmaceuticals.
There are additional companies developing similar progesterone-blocking technology. Asoprisnil, an
anti-progestin being developed by TAP Pharmaceuticals in partnership with Schering AG, is currently
in Phase 3 clinical trials. TAP Pharmaceuticals is a much larger company than we are with greater
resources and greater ability to promote their products than we currently have. 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.
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 eight full-time employees at the present time,
including our President and CEO, Joseph S. Podolski, our Vice President, Business Development and
CFO, Louis Ploth, Jr. and our Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Andre van As. We
are highly dependent on Messrs. Podolski and Ploth and Dr. van As for the management of our company
and the development of our technologies. Messrs. Podolski and Ploth and Dr. van As have employment
agreements with us. There can be no assurance that Mr. Podolski, Mr. Ploth or Dr. van As 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 Mr.
Podolski, Mr. Ploth or Dr. van As could delay or curtail our research and product development
efforts.
Additionally, in order to commercialize our products successfully, we will be required to
expand our workforce, particularly in the areas of clinical trials management, regulatory affairs,
business development, sales and marketing and administrative and accounting functions. These
activities will require the addition of new personnel and the development of additional expertise
by management. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous
biopharmaceutical companies, as well as academic and other research institutions. We may hire up to
five employees over the next two years. To the extent we are not able to attract and retain
employees on favorable terms; we may face delays in the development or commercialization of our
product candidates and extensive costs in retaining current employees or searching for and training
new employees.
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 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.
-19-
Healthcare reform measures could adversely affect our business.
The business and financial condition of pharmaceutical companies are affected by the efforts
of governmental and third-party payers to contain or reduce the costs of healthcare. In the United
States and in foreign jurisdictions there have been, and we expect that there will continue to be,
a number of legislative and regulatory proposals aimed at changing the healthcare system. For
example, in some countries other than the United States, pricing of prescription drugs is subject
to government control, and we expect proposals to implement similar controls in the United States
to continue. The approval of such proposals could result in a decrease in our stock price or limit
our ability to raise capital or to obtain strategic collaborations or licenses.
We may incur increased costs as a result of laws and regulations relating to corporate governance
matters.
Laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley, and rules adopted or proposed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or SEC, and by NASDAQ, will result in increased costs to us as we evaluate the
implications of any new rules and respond to their requirements. We are currently an accelerated
filer and, as a result, are subject to additional regulatory requirements, including Section 404 of
Sarbanes-Oxley which requires us to include in our annual report for the period ending December 31,
2006 a report by management on our internal control over financial reporting and an accompanying
auditors report. Additionally, new rules could
make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including
director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and
coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of
these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to
serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers. We cannot predict
or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs to comply
with such new rules and regulations.
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. As previously described, we recently entered
into a supply agreement with Gedeon Richter, a non-U.S. based company, to manufacture the API for
Proellex, for final packaging in the United States.
We are in the process of obtaining clarification with respect to the domestic production
requirement from NIH or, if necessary, a waiver and acknowledgement of the current commercial
development plan. If NIH does not grant the acknowledgement and either clarify, or grant us a
waiver with respect to this domestic production requirement, we may be required to either engage
another manufacturer to make the API for Proellex or risk being in breach of the license agreement.
Should NIH terminate the license agreement, we would lose all rights to commercialize Proellex,
which would harm our business. We also have five patent applications pending in the United States
and one foreign PCT application that cover various formulations of Proellex and methods of using
Proellex.
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 reexamination proceedings, which has since led the PTO to
determine that the amended claims are patentable in view of those publications that were under
consideration and a reexamination certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended
claims are invalid based on additional prior art publications, and
our request for reexamination by the PTO in light of a number of
these additional publications and other publications cited by the
PTO, has
been granted. We also believe that the
-20-
second of these two patents is invalid in view of published
prior art not yet considered by the PTO. A request for reexamination of this patent is pending.
Nevertheless, there is no assurance that either patent will ultimately be found invalid over the
prior art. If such patents are not invalidated, we may be required to obtain a license from the
holder of such patents in order to develop Androxal further. 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.
-21-
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 enforceability
-22-
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.
Risks Relating to our Securities
Our stock price will likely be volatile, and your investment in our stock could decline in value.
Our stock price has fluctuated historically. From January 1, 2005 to March 6, 2007, the market
price of our stock was as low as $2.79 per share and as high as $14.67 per share.
Very few biotechnology drug candidates being tested will ultimately receive FDA approval, and
a biotechnology company may experience a significant drop in its stock price based on a clinical
trial result or regulatory action. Our stock price may fluctuate significantly, depending on a
variety of factors, including:
|
|
|
the success or failure of, or other results or decisions affecting, our clinical trials; |
|
|
|
|
the timing of the discovery of drug leads and the development of our drug candidates; |
|
|
|
|
the entrance into a new collaboration or the modification or termination of an existing collaboration; |
|
|
|
|
changes in our research and development budget or the research and development
budgets of our existing or potential collaborators; |
|
|
|
|
the introduction of new drug discovery techniques or the introduction or withdrawal
of drugs by others that target the same diseases and conditions that we or our
collaborators target; |
|
|
|
|
regulatory actions; and |
|
|
|
|
expenses related to, and the results of, litigation and other proceedings relating to
intellectual property rights or other matters. |
We are not able to control all of these factors. Period-to-period comparisons of our financial
results are not necessarily indicative of our future performance. In addition, if our revenues or
results of operations in a particular period do not meet stockholders or analysts expectations,
our stock price may decline and such decline could be significant.
Any future equity or debt issuances by us may have dilutive or adverse effects on our existing
stockholders.
We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations,
primarily by issuing and selling our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for
shares of our common stock. In light of our need for additional financing, we may issue additional
shares of common stock or convertible securities that could dilute your ownership in our company
and may include terms that give new investors rights that are superior to yours. For example, we
completed a public offering in February 2007 of 2,610,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase
price of $13.75 per share. This public offering represented 52% of our current shelf registration
of 5,000,000 shares. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the
prevailing market price of our common stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your
ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, and the holders of any debt
we may issue would have rights superior to your rights in the event we are not successful and are
forced to seek the protection of bankruptcy laws.
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.
-23-
We have adopted certain anti-takeover provisions, including a Rights Agreement, dated as of
September 1, 1999, between us and Computershare Trust Company, Inc. (as successor in interest to
Harris Trust & Savings Bank), as Rights Agent. 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.
The Rights Agreement and Certificate of Designations for the Series One Junior Participating
Preferred Stock dated September 2, 1999, as well as other 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. |
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We lease our current property under a lease agreement that expires in June 2010. This lease
is for approximately 7,100 square feet of our laboratory and office space located in The Woodlands,
Texas. We do not own or lease any other property and believe that our current facilities are
sufficient for our needs for the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of our security holders in the fourth quarter of 2006.

All of the foregoing prices reflect interdealer quotations, without retail mark-up, markdowns
or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions in the common stock.
On March 6, 2007, the last sale price of our common stock, as reported by the Nasdaq Global
Market, was $10.01 per share. On March 6, 2007, there were approximately 195 holders of record and
approximately 3,052 beneficial holders of our common stock.
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
On September 1, 1999, our board of directors adopted a stockholder rights plan, which has been
subsequently amended on September 6, 2002, October 30, 2002, and June 30, 2005, 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 percent or more of our outstanding common stock.
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
3, 1999, and as amended by amendments to such Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A filed on

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, or we, us or our) was organized on
August 28, 1987 and is a development stage company. We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on
the development of new drugs to treat hormonal and reproductive system disorders. Our lead product
candidate, Proellex, is an orally available small molecule compound that we are developing for the
treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis. We are also developing Androxal, which causes
increased testosterone secretion from the testes, for the treatment of testosterone deficiency in
men resulting from secondary hypogonadism.
We are currently conducting a U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial with Proellex for the treatment of
uterine fibroids and are also conducting a European Phase 2 clinical trial with Proellex for the
treatment of endometriosis. During December 2006 we provided an internally generated interim
analysis of our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of Proellex in uterine fibroid patients which
demonstrated statistically significant reductions in excessive menstrual bleeding and an
improvement in quality of life versus placebo. Furthermore, after three months of treatment, no
statistically significant change in endometrial thickness was observed. Also during December 2006
we provided an internally generated interim analysis of our ongoing European endometriosis Phase
1/2 clinical trial of Proellex which demonstrated that treatment with the highest dose of Proellex,
50 mg, achieved statistically significant reduction in days of pain compared to treatment with
Lupron, the current pharmaceutical standard of care for the treatment of endometriosis.
We have completed a Phase 1/2 clinical trial and during December 2006 we provided an internally
generated interim analysis from an ongoing non-pivotal Phase 3 trial of Androxal for the treatment
of testosterone deficiency in men resulting from secondary hypogonadism. Both trials demonstrated
statistically significant increases in testosterone levels versus placebo. In our current Phase 3
trial, at three months, Androxal restored testosterone levels to the normal range in over 80% of
patients treated.
On February 5, 2007, we completed a public offering of 2,610,000 shares of our common stock at
a purchase price of $13.75 per share. As a result of the offering, we received approximately $33.0
million in net proceeds which we intend to use to continue our clinical development of Proellex and
Androxal.
Effective January 8, 2007, 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.
On December 16, 2006, we hired Dr. Andre van As, M.D., Ph.D., to serve as our Chief Medical
Officer and Senior Vice President of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. Dr. van As has extensive
experience in drug development and regulatory approvals, including as Executive Director of the
Novartis team responsible for gaining regulatory approval of Xolair, the first monoclonal antibody
for the management of severe asthma.
On August 21, 2006 we transferred the listing of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital
Market to the NASDAQ Global Market under our ticker symbol, RPRX.
On May 2, 2006, we changed our legal name from Zonagen, Inc. to Repros Therapeutics Inc. to
better reflect our focus on the reproductive and hormonal health market.
We are now 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 8 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.
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
-28-
number of eligible patients necessary to complete our clinical trials and any difficulty in
enrolling these patients, and the length of time to complete our clinical trials. Given the
uncertainty of these potential costs, we recognize that the total costs we will incur for the
clinical development of our product candidates may exceed our current estimates. We do, however,
expect these costs to increase substantially in future periods as we continue later-stage clinical
trials, 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.
We have not generated any substantial revenue from commercial sale of our current product
candidates. We will not receive any revenue from commercial sales unless we complete the clinical
trial process, obtain regulatory approval, and successfully commercialize one or more of our
product candidates. If we were to obtain regulatory approval of Proellex, we will need to develop a
long-term, commercially viable source of bulk Proellex to successfully commercialize the product
candidate. We cannot be certain when or if any net cash inflow from any of our current product
candidates will commence.
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 believe that
our existing capital resources under our current operating plan will be sufficient to fund our
operations through at least March 31, 2008. There can be no assurance that changes in our current
strategic plans or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.
We may need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities and/or through
partnerships to continue the clinical development of our products. If we are not able to raise
capital through 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.
As of December 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $108.3 million. Due to various tax
regulations, including change in control provisions in the tax code, the value of our tax assets to
us 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.
Losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in conducting clinical 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 its 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-Trading 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 we have the ability and intent to hold to maturity are classified
as held to maturity. Securities classified as trading securities are recorded at fair value.
Gains and losses on trading securities, realized and unrealized, are included in earnings and are
calculated using the specific identification method. Any other securities are classified as
available for sale. At December 31, 2006 all securities were classified as trading securities.
The fair value and cost basis including purchased premium for these securities was $5.6 million and $14.7 million
at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
-29-
Our
investments typically include 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. The average life of the investment portfolio may not
exceed 24 months.
Capitalized Patent Costs
We capitalize the cost associated with building our patent library. As of December 31, 2006
other assets consist of capitalized patent costs in the amount of $823,000. 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 $71, zero and $7,000 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Of the $823,000 in capitalized patents, $391,000 related to patents for Proellex, which is
being developed as an oral treatment for uterine fibroids and endometriosis and $432,000 related to
Androxal, which is being developed as an oral treatment for testosterone deficiency.
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
We have two stock-based compensation plans at December 31, 2006, 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 used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate
the fair value of our stock options. We follow the expanded guidance in SFAS 123(R) for the
development of our assumptions used as inputs to the Black-Scholes model. 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.
Use of Estimates
Actual results could differ materially from our estimates. The items in our financial
statements requiring significant estimates and judgments are as follows:
|
|
|
We have had losses since inception and, therefore, have not been subject to federal
income taxes. We have accumulated approximately $2.7 million of research and development
tax credits. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had approximately $96.0 million and
$84.3 million, respectively, of net operating loss, or NOL, carry-forwards for federal
income tax purposes. Additionally, approximately $1.8 million of NOLs, and approximately
$72,000 of research and development tax credits, expired in 2006. 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. |
|
|
|
|
We review for the impairment of capitalized patent costs 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. We have
determined that our capitalized patent costs are not impaired as of December 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
|
The amount of compensation cost recognized in each period is based on our estimate of
fair value of stock options granted on their grant date. Our estimate of fair value is
derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model and that |
-30-
|
|
|
fair value is significantly
influenced by the assumptions we have made regarding volatility and expected term, which
are somewhat subjective. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable and based on
the best available information, changes in those assumptions could have a material
impact on our financial statements. |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption
of this interpretation will have on our consolidated financial statements.
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. This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the reporting entity has not
yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year including financial statements for an interim
period within that fiscal year. We are assessing SFAS No. 157 and have not determined yet the
impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our results of operations or financial
position.
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretative guidance on how public companies quantify financial
statement misstatements. There have been two common approaches used to quantify such errors. Under
an income statement approach, the roll-over method, the error is quantified as the amount by
which the current year income statement is misstated. Alternatively, under a balance sheet
approach, the iron curtain method, the error is quantified as the cumulative amount by which the
current year balance sheet is misstated. In SAB 108, the SEC established an approach that requires
quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on
each of the companys financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This
model is commonly referred to as a dual approach because it requires quantification of errors
under both the roll-over and iron curtain methods. SAB 108 is effective for us as of January 1,
2007. The adoption of SAB 108 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
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 are currently evaluating the impact that
SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
Revenues. Total revenues for 2006 decreased 6% to $596,000 as compared to $634,000 for 2005.
Research and development grants for 2006 were zero as compared to $4,000 for 2005 which was the
remaining amount under our Small Business Innovative Research, or SBIR, grants.
Interest income decreased 5% to $596,000 for 2006 as compared to $630,000 for 2005. The
decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower cash balances.
Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses include contracted research, regulatory
affairs activities and general research and development expenses. R&D expenses increased 95% to
$11.9 million in 2006 as compared to $6.1 million in 2005. The increased expenses for 2006 are
primarily due to increased spending in our clinical development programs ($3.5 million for Proellex
and $2.1 million for Androxal), an increase of $142,000 in personnel costs, an increase in non-cash
stock option compensation expense of $107,000 and a $71,000 increase in consulting fees.
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses increased
50% to $2.9 million for 2006 as compared to $1.9 million for 2005. The increase in expenses is
primarily due to an increase of $593,000 in non-cash stock option compensation expense, an increase
of $184,000 in investor relations expenses and an increase of $66,000 in costs associated with
meeting the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
-31-
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Revenues. Total revenues for 2005 increased 147% to $634,000 as compared to $257,000 for
2004. Research and development grants for 2005 were $4,000 as compared to $118,000 for 2004 which
amounts all related to our SBIR grants.
Interest income increased 506% to $630,000 for 2005 as compared to $104,000 for 2004. The
increase is primarily due to an increase in marketable securities as a result of the completion of
our follow-on public offering on February 1, 2005 in which we received approximately $18.1 million
in net proceeds, and an increase in interest rates.
Other income for 2005 was zero as compared to $35,000 for 2004. Other income in 2004 was from
the sale of some of our preclinical phentolamine data that was to be used for a purpose that does
not compete with our sexual dysfunction technologies.
Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses increased 144% to $6.1 million in 2005 as
compared to $2.5 million in 2004. The increased expenses for 2005 is primarily due to increased
spending in our clinical development programs ($1.9 million for Proellex and $1.9 million for
Androxal), partially offset by a decrease of $308,000 in costs associated with the 2004 write-off
of our patent portfolio related to our vaccine adjuvants, prostate cancer vaccines and hCG
immuno-contraceptive vaccine.
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses increased 27% to $1.9 million for 2005 as
compared to $1.5 million for 2004. The increase in expenses is primarily due to an increase in
professional services in the amount of $280,000, which includes a non-recurring $200,000
reimbursement in 2004 of the deductible from our directors and officers insurance policy relating
to our previous class action lawsuit, personnel costs in the amount of $185,000, costs associated
with strategic administrative fees in the amount of $99,000 and investor relations expenses in the
amount of $63,000, offset by a decrease in costs associated with potential funding activities in
the amount of $117,000, and a $60,000 decrease in non-cash stock option compensation expense.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2006, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
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. We recently completed, on February 5, 2007, a public offering 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 $33.0 million. 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, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $6.7 million as
of December 31, 2006 as compared to $16.8 million as of December 31, 2005. The decrease in cash
balance as of December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005 is primarily due to an increase in
costs related to our clinical development programs for Androxal and Proellex and associated
administrative costs.
Excluding maturities and purchases of marketable securities, net cash of approximately $10.1
million, $7.4 million, and $3.0 million was used in operating activities during 2006, 2005, and
2004, respectively. The major uses of cash for operating activities during 2006 was to fund our
clinical development programs and associated administrative costs of $14.2 million, partially
offset by a $3.3 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash used in investing
activities was $287,000 in 2006 primarily for investments in technology rights related to our
Proellex and Androxal patent portfolios. Cash provided by financing activities in 2006 was
approximately $241,000 relating to the exercise of 71,361 stock options.
As of December 31, 2006, we had future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases with
ongoing terms in excess of one year of $59,000, $60,000, $60,000 and $30,000 in 2007, 2008, 2009
and 2010 and later, respectively.

We have had losses since inception and, therefore, have not been subject to federal income
taxes. We have accumulated approximately $2.7 million of research and development tax credits. As
of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had approximately $96.0 million and $84.3 million, respectively,
of NOLs for federal income tax purposes. Additionally, approximately $1.8 million of NOLs, and
approximately $72,000 of research and development tax credits expired in the year 2006. 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. We believe that our existing capital resources under
our current operating plan will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least March 31, 2008. 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, including the assumption 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.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Interest Rate Risk. Cash, cash equivalents and investments were approximately $6.7 million at
December 31, 2006. These assets were primarily invested in investment grade corporate bonds and
commercial paper with maturities of less than 18 months, which are classified as Trading
Securities. We do not invest in derivative securities. Although our portfolio is subject to
fluctuations in interest rates and market conditions, no significant gain or loss on any security
is expected to be recognized in earnings due to the expected short holding period.

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
-33-
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
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
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, 2006.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited and
issued their report on managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Repros Therapeutics Inc.:
We have completed an integrated audit of Repros Therapeutics Inc.s 2006 consolidated financial
statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 and audits
of its 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are
presented below.
Consolidated financial statements
In our
opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Repros Therapeutics Inc. and its subsidiary (a development
stage company) at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit of financial statements includes 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of
accounting for share based payments effective January 1, 2006.
Internal control over financial reporting
Also, in our opinion, managements assessment, included in Managements Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established
in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those
criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Companys
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on managements assessment and on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted
F-1
our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control
over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
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 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.

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS:
Repros Therapeutics Inc. (the Company, RPRX, or we, us or our) was organized on
August 28, 1987 and is a development stage company. We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on
the development of new drugs to treat hormonal and reproductive system disorders. Our lead product
candidate, Proellex, is an orally available small molecule compound that we are developing for the
treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis. We are also developing Androxal, which causes
increased testosterone secretion from the testes, for the treatment of testosterone deficiency in
men resulting from secondary hypogonadism.
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 continue
to 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. We believe that our existing
capital resources under our current operating plan will be sufficient to fund our operations
through at least the first quarter of 2008. There can be no assurance that changes in our current
strategic plans or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.
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, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $108.3 million. Losses have resulted
principally from costs incurred in conducting clinical trials of our phentolamine-based products
which include VASOMAX® and the related female sexual dysfunction product and more
recently for the clinical development of Androxal and Proellex; in research and development
activities related to efforts to develop our products 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.
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
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash
accounts and highly liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less to be
cash and cash equivalents.
F-11
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. At December 31, 2006 and 2005 all securities were classified as
trading securities. The fair value and cost basis including purchased premium for these securities was $5.6
million and $14.7 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The
Companys investments typically include corporate bonds and notes, Euro-dollar bonds, taxable
auction securities and asset-backed securities. The Companys policy is to require minimum credit
ratings of A2/A and A1/P1 with maturities of up to three years. The average life of the investment
portfolio may not exceed 24 months.
Marketable securities, which are held to maturity, are reviewed for other-than-temporary
impairment at the individual security level in each reporting period. The Company has determined
that its marketable securities are not impaired as of December 31, 2006 or 2005 due to the high
credit quality of the issuers of the securities.
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.
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 remaining term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs that do not
improve or extend the life of assets are 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. As of December
31, 2006 other assets consist of capitalized patent costs in the amount of $823,000. 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 $71, zero and $7,000 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Of the $823,000 in capitalized patents, $391,000 related to patents for Proellex, which is
being developed as an oral treatment for uterine fibroids and endometriosis and $432,000 related to
Androxal, which is being developed as an oral treatment for testosterone deficiency.
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, 2006.
The Company no longer maintains its previous patent portfolio for its vaccine adjuvants,
prostate cancer vaccines, hCG and zona pellucida immuno-contraceptive vaccines. This decision
resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $308,000 during 2004.
F-12
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Research and Development Grants
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 bills 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
essentially depleted during 2004.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
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. The Company expenses 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 behalf of the Company.
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 all applicable
years all potential common stock equivalents were antidilutive and accordingly were not included in
the computation.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has two stock-based compensation plans at December 31, 2006, which are described
more fully in note 8.
On January 1, 2006, we 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 we
previously used (see pro-forma disclosure of prior period included herein). 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. The effect of adoption of the
new standard related to stock option plans was an additional expense of $219,000 ($0.02 per share,
basic and diluted) for the three-months ended December 31, 2006, of which $37,000 was recorded to
Research and Development expense and $182,000 was recorded to General and Administrative expense
and $789,000 ($0.08 per share, basic and diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2006, of
which $127,000 was recorded to Research and Development expense and $662,000 was recorded to
General and Administrative expense. At December 31, 2006, there was $764,000 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 year.
Under SFAS 123(R), we continue to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the
fair value of our stock options. However, we will apply the expanded guidance under SFAS 123(R)
for the development of our assumptions used as inputs for the Black-Scholes option pricing model
for grants issued after January 1, 2006. 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. Options to purchase an
aggregate of 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
F-13
price of $12.70 per share were granted to non-employee members of the Companys Board of
Directors for their re-election to the Board at the Companys Annual Meeting held on May 2, 2006.
Additionally, options to purchase 20,000, 20,000, and 50,000 shares of common stock were granted to
three employees on June 14, August 16 and December 16, 2006 at exercise prices of $8.41, $8.00
and $6.17 per share, respectively. All stock options were granted at the closing price of the
Companys common stock on the date of grant. The following assumptions were used for stock option
grants: risk-free interest rate of 3.5% to 5.0%; no expected dividends; expected lives of 4.2 to 7
years; and expected volatility of 81% to 90%.
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. Due to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1,
2006, we reclassified $130,000 from deferred compensation to additional paid in capital.
Under the modified prospective application method, results for prior periods have not been
restated to reflect the effects of implementing SFAS 123(R). The following pro forma information,
as required by SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-an Amendment to FAS 123, is
presented for comparative purposes and illustrates the effect on our net loss and loss per share if
we had applied the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) during the years ended 2005 and 2004 (in thousands,
except for per share amounts):

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used
for grants in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 4.8%, 4.0%, and 3.5%;
with no expected dividends; expected lives of 7.0, 5.8, and 6.4 years; expected volatility of 85%,
86%, and 88%. The weighted average fair value of options, all of which were granted at market for
2006, 2005 and 2004 was $6.49, $2.88 and $1.99, respectively.
The Black-Scholes option valuation 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This
interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of
this interpretation will have on its consolidated financial statements.
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. This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the reporting entity has not
yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year including financial statements for an interim
period within that fiscal year. The company is assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not determined yet
the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its result of operations or financial
position.
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretative guidance on how public companies quantify financial
statement misstatements. There have been two common approaches used to quantify such errors. Under
an income statement approach, the roll-over method, the error is quantified as the amount by
which the current year income statement is misstated. Alternatively, under a balance sheet
approach, the iron curtain method, the error is quantified as the cumulative amount by which the
current year balance sheet is misstated. In SAB 108, the SEC established an approach that requires
quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on
each of the companys financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This
model is commonly referred to as a dual approach because it requires quantification of errors
under both the roll-over and iron curtain methods. SAB 108 is effective for the Company as of
January 1, 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
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 are currently evaluating the impact that
SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Company has had losses since inception and, therefore, has not been subject to federal
income taxes. The Company has accumulated approximately $2.7 million of research and development
tax credits. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had approximately $96.0 million and
$84.3 million, respectively, of net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards for federal income tax
purposes. Additionally, approximately $1.5 million of NOLs, and approximately $64,000 of research
and development tax credits will expire in 2007.
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 in 1996, together with previous changes in
stock ownership, resulted in an ownership change in 1996 for federal income tax purposes. The
Company estimates that the amount of pre-1997 NOL carryforwards and the credits available to offset
taxable income is limited to approximately $5.4 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 redemption of shares under the Companys tender offer in January 2004 (Note 1) and the
Companys follow-on public offering completed on February 1, 2005 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.

7. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY:
TREASURY STOCK
On January 13, 2004 the Company announced the final results of its self tender offer, which
expired on January 7, 2004. Zonagen accepted for purchase 6,547,635 shares at a purchase price of
$2.10 per share in accordance with the terms of the offer, which included 60,888 shares issuable
upon exercise of options tendered by directors, for a total aggregate cost of approximately $14.0
million, which is inclusive of costs associated with the offer.
In April 2003, the Company bought back an additional 34,100 treasury shares at an aggregate
purchase price of $49,000 for an average price of $1.44 per share.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had 6,997,035 shares of treasury stock. The Company sold
5,060,000 of these shares in its public offering which was completed on February 1, 2005. As of
December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company had 1,937,035 shares of treasury stock.

8. STOCK OPTIONS AND EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN:
During 2006 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.
As of December 31, 2006, there were 202,935 options available under the 2004 Plan and 500,000
available under the 2000 Plan. The 2000 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.
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.
F-17
During the 2003 Annual Shareholders Meeting which was concluded on January 14, 2004, four
prior Board Members did not stand for re-election and four new Board Members were elected which
consisted of 3 outside directors and the Companys Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the terms
of the Companys 2000 Director Plan, each of the three new non-employee directors were
automatically granted options to purchase 40,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an
exercise price of $2.40, which was the closing price on the date of grant. On February 24, 2004,
the Board of Directors approved an amendment to these options to provide that such options vest in
quarterly installments over a three year period.
Under the general terms of the 2000 Director Plan the four prior Board Members who did not
stand for re-election at the Companys 2003 Annual Shareholders Meeting were automatically granted
a 2 year extension to January 14, 2006 to exercise their fully vested options. These options
consisted of 140,715 shares with exercise prices ranging from $1.70 to $5.65. In addition, these
same Directors also received an extension to January 14, 2006 for any fully vested options granted
under other option plans. These options consisted of 112,500 shares with exercise prices ranging
from $4.00 to $22.25. In January 2006, we received $203,600 from former Board Members for the
exercise of their soon to be expired options to purchase 66,361 shares of common stock with
exercise prices ranging from $1.70 to $3.47. The remaining 176,854 stock options held by prior
Board Members were canceled on January 14, 2006.
On March 29, 2004, the Compensation Committee approved grants to the Companys executive
officers of incentive options to purchase 358,763 shares of its common stock that vest quarterly
over three years and to non-executive employees of (i) incentive options to purchase 123,350 shares
that vest quarterly over three years and (ii) incentive options to purchase 22,361 shares (granted
in lieu of additional increases in cash compensation) that vested in equal increments through
December 31, 2004. All of the options were granted at an exercise price of $2.72, the fair market
value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.
In addition, the Compensation Committee approved grants to the Companys executive officers
for incentive options to purchase 79,486 shares of its common stock and also granted incentive
options to purchase 17,504 shares to non-executive employees. Vesting of these options was tied to
attaining certain milestones and all options were granted at an exercise price of $2.72, the fair
market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The Company recorded compensation
expense as performance milestones were achieved for these incentive options. Five of the ten
milestones were met resulting in non-cash compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2004
of $55,000 under these incentive option grants. Three additional milestones were met resulting in
additional compensation expense of $8,000 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2005. The
two remaining performance milestones expired without being met.
Of all of the options granted to both executive officers and employees, options to purchase
150,000 shares were granted under the Companys 1994 Plan and the remaining options were granted
under the 2004 Employee and Consultant Stock Option Plan. All of the options granted under the 1994
Plan are immediately valid and all of the options granted under the new 2004 Plan were subject to
shareholder approval. The 2004 Plan was approved by shareholders at the September 29, 2004 Annual
Shareholders Meeting. Due to the approval of these options, the Company recorded non-cash
compensation expense of $78,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and will record additional
non-cash compensation expense of $26,000 per quarter through the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This
expense represents the difference between the grant price of $2.72, which was the closing price of
the Companys common stock on the date of grant on March 29, 2004, and $3.60, the closing price of
the Companys common stock on September 29, 2004, the date under which these options were approved
by stockholders at the Companys 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
During 2000, the Company amended the 2000 Director Plan to allow for issuance of stock awards
and options in lieu of cash for fees owed to directors and consultants. In connection with this
amendment, no shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock were issued to directors
and consultants in 2006, 2005 or 2004.
A summary of the status of the Companys option plans at December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 and
changes during the years then ended is presented in the tables below:

On May 23, 2000, the shareholders also approved the Companys 2000 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan). The Purchase Plan provides all eligible full-time employees
with an opportunity to purchase common stock through accumulated payroll deductions. Purchases of
common stock are made at the lower of 85% of the fair market value at the beginning or end of each
six-month offering period. A total of 150,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance under the Purchase Plan through December 2000. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides for
annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance under the Purchase Plan on the
first day of each year, beginning January 1, 2001, in an amount equal to 50,000 shares. In 2006,
the Company did not issue any common stock and there was no participation under the Purchase Plan
in 2006. The Board of Directors terminated the Purchase Plan on March 9, 2007.
9. LICENSE, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS:
NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH)
In 1999, we licensed rights to Proellex from the 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 the treatment of
uterine fibroids in 2008. 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. 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. During the period when we were considering
redeployment of our assets, we were not in compliance with all of the original requirements stated
in the commercial development plan. In July 2002, we and the NIH amended the license agreement to
include a revision of the original commercial development plan relating to the targeted dates for
certain objectives. Additional updates of the original commercial development plan have been
reached with the NIH thereafter in order to expedite development. 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
F-19
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.
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.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2007, we received approximately $32,000 from the exercise of 13,333 stock options
that were exercised by a former Board Member. These options were scheduled to expire on March 23,
2007 and had an exercise price of $2.40.
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 $33.0 million.
On March 9, 2007 the Companys Board of Directors voted to terminate its current 2000 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan.
