NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Business
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Halozyme or the Company) is a biopharmaceutical company
developing and commercializing products based on the extracellular matrix for the drug delivery,
oncology and dermatology markets.
The Companys operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing the
Company, acquiring, developing and securing its technology and undertaking product development for
its existing products and a limited number of product candidates. The Company has two products:
Cumulase®, a product used for in vitro fertilization, and Hylenex, a product used as an
adjuvant to increase the absorption and dispersion of other injected drugs and fluids. The Company
has only limited revenues from the sales of these products.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to a quarterly
report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. These condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2006. The unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented
reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented, with such
adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments. Operating results for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for an entire fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Halozyme and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Halozyme, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts, as well as disclosures of
commitments and contingencies in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from product sales and collaborative agreements. Payments
received under collaborative agreements may include nonrefundable fees at the inception of the
agreements, milestone payments for specific achievements designated in the collaborative
agreements, reimbursements of research and development services and/or royalties on sales of
products resulting from collaborative arrangements.
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,
Revenue Recognition, and Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements
with Multiple Deliverables. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are
met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have
been rendered; (3) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4)
collectibility is reasonably assured.

Table of Contents
Product Sales Revenues from the sale of Cumulase are recognized when the transfer of
ownership occurs which is upon shipment to the distributors. The Company is not obligated to accept
returns for the sale of Cumulase once it has reached its expiration date. Therefore, no allowance
for product returns has been established.
In accordance with the Amended and Restated Development and Supply Agreement (the Development
and Supply Agreement) with Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Baxter), the Company supplies Baxter
with the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for Hylenex at its fully burdened cost plus a
margin. Baxter fills and finishes Hylenex and holds it for subsequent distribution. After
determining that Hylenex meets product specifications, the Company releases it. Because of the
Companys continued involvement in the development and production process of Hylenex, the earnings
process is not considered to be complete. Accordingly, the Company defers the revenue and related
product costs on the API for Hylenex until the product is filled, finished, packaged and released.
Baxter may only return the API for Hylenex to the Company if it does not conform to the specified
criteria set forth in the Development and Supply Agreement or upon termination of such Agreement.
The Company has historically demonstrated that the API shipped to Baxter has consistently met the
specified criteria. Therefore, no allowance for product returns has been established. In addition,
the Company receives product-based payments upon the sale of Hylenex by Baxter, in accordance with
the terms of the Baxter Agreements. Product sales revenues are recognized as the Company earns such
revenues based on Baxters shipments of Hylenex to its distributors when such amounts can be
reasonably estimated. Baxter prepaid $1 million of such product-based payments which was deferred
and is being recognized as earned.
Collaborative Agreements The Company analyzes each element of its collaborative agreements
to determine the appropriate revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on nonrefundable
upfront payments in which it has an ongoing involvement or performance obligation over the period
of significant involvement under the related agreements. The Company recognizes milestone payments
upon the achievement of specified milestones if (1) the milestone is substantive in nature, and the
achievement of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement and (2)
the fees are nonrefundable. Any milestone payments received prior to satisfying these revenue
recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue. Reimbursements of research and development
services are recognized as revenue during the period in which the services are performed. Royalties
to be received based on sales of licensed products by the Companys collaborators incorporating the
Companys products are recognized as earned.
Costs and Expenses
The Companys costs and expenses include the following:
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of raw materials, third-party manufacturing
costs, fill and finish costs and freight costs associated with the sales of Cumulase, and the API
for Hylenex.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of costs associated with the development and manufacturing of the Companys product
candidates, compensation and other expenses for research and development personnel, supplies and
materials, costs for consultants and related contract research, clinical trials, facility costs,
and depreciation. The Company charges all research and development expenses to operations as they
are incurred, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 2,
Accounting for Research and Development Costs. The Companys research and development activities
are primarily focused on the development of its Chemophase and Enhanze Technology product
candidates, both of which are based on the Companys proprietary recombinant human PH20 enzyme
(rHuPH20).
The Companys expenses related to clinical trials are based on estimates of the services
received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with multiple research institutions, clinical
research organizations, and other vendors that conduct and manage clinical trials on its behalf.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of compensation and other expenses related to the Companys corporate operations and
administrative employees, accounting and legal fees, other professional services expenses,
marketing expenses, as well as other expenses associated with operating as a publicly traded
company.

Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with
SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). Under SFAS 123R, share-based compensation
expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is
recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employees requisite service period.
Total share-based compensation expense related to all of the Companys share-based awards for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was allocated as follows:

agreement with F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. (collectively, Roche) for
Enhanze Technology (the Roche Agreement). Under the terms of the Roche Agreement, Roche will
obtain a worldwide, exclusive license to develop and commercialize product combinations of rHuPH20
and up to thirteen Roche target compounds resulting from the collaboration. Roche paid the Company
a nonrefundable initial license fee of $20 million in December 2006 for the application of rHuPH20
to three pre-defined Roche biologic targets. The $20 million upfront payment was deferred and is
being recognized over the term of the agreement. The Company recognized $289,854 and $579,708 in
revenues under the Roche Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
Baxter Agreements In February 2007, the Company amended certain agreements with Baxter for
Hylenex and entered into a new agreement for kits and co-formulations with rHuPH20 (the Baxter
Agreements). Under the terms of the Baxter Agreements, Baxter paid the Company a nonrefundable
upfront payment of $10 million. Due to the Companys continuing involvement obligations, the $10
million upfront payment was deferred and is being recognized over the term of the agreements. The

six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

under the Baxter Agreements. Baxter prepaid $1 million of such product-based payments in connection
with the execution of the Baxter Agreements and is obligated to prepay $9 million of additional
product-based payments on or prior to January 1, 2009. The $1 million prepaid product-based payment
was deferred and is being recognized as product sales revenues as the Company earns such revenues
from the sales of Hylenex by Baxter.
7. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is
computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period increased by the weighted average number of dilutive common share
equivalents, such as stock options, awards and warrants, outstanding during the period, using the
treasury stock method. Such common share equivalents have not been included in the Companys
computation of net loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Company royalties on product sales, if any, on the three pre-defined Roche biologic targets. Over
the next ten years, Roche will also have the option to exclusively develop and commercialize
rHuPH20 with an additional ten targets to be identified by Roche, provided that Roche will be
obligated to pay the Company continuing exclusivity maintenance fees in order to maintain its
exclusive development rights for these targets. For each of the additional ten targets, Roche will
pay the Company further upfront and milestone payments of up to $47 million per target, as well as
royalties on product sales, if any, for each of these additional ten targets. Additionally, Roche
will obtain access to the Companys expertise in developing and applying rHuPH20 to Roche targets.
In December 2006, the Company amended its Commercial Supply Agreement (the Amendment) with
Avid Bioservices, Inc. (Avid) which was originally entered into in February 2005. Under the terms
of the Amendment, the Company is committed to certain minimum annual purchases of API equal to two
quarters of forecasted supply. In addition, Avid has the right to manufacture and supply a certain
percentage of the API that will be used in the Companys Cumulase and Hylenex products.
In December 2005, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the License Agreement (the
Agreement) with the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC). The Agreement provided for
certain payments to be made to UCHC in connection with the development and commercialization of
certain products defined in the
10
Table of Contents
Agreement. The First Amendment to the Agreement (the First Amendment) required the Company
to pay a one time Supplemental License Fee of $25,000 and a Technology Access Fee of $250,000 in
2005. In addition, the First Amendment required the payment of a Technology Fee of $2,500,000 which
is payable to UCHC in annual installments of $250,000 through February 2015. Other terms of the
First Amendment include a termination clause which allows the Company to discontinue
commercialization of certain products covered under the Agreement and to cease making the annual
$250,000 technology fee payments with a one time termination fee of $250,000. The annual Technology
Fee is accrued monthly on a straight-line basis as research and development expense.
Legal Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company may face various claims
brought by third parties, including claims relating to the safety or efficacy of its products. Any
of these claims could subject the Company to costly litigation and, while the Company generally
believes that it has adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, its insurance
carriers may deny coverage or the Companys policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any
damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a
material adverse effect on the Companys operations and financial position. Additionally, any such
claims, whether or not successful, could damage the Companys reputation and business.
10. Segment Information
The Company operates in one segment which is the research, development and commercialization
of products for the drug delivery, oncology, and dermatology markets. The chief operating
decision-makers review the Companys operating results on an aggregate basis and manage its
operations as a single operating segment.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The
Company will be required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to significantly affect its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
In
June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Non-Refundable Advance Payments for Goods or
Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development
Activities, which requires that
non-refundable advance payments for goods or services that will be
used or performed in
future research and development activities pursuant to executory
contractual arrangements be deferred and recognized as an expense in
the period that the related goods are delivered or the related
services are performed. The Company will adopt EITF Issue No. 07-3 in the
first quarter of 2008, and it is not expected to have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
The
EITF is currently considering EITF Issue No. 07-1,
Accounting for Collaboration Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of
Intellectual Property, which is focused on how the parties to a collaborative agreement should account
for costs incurred and revenue generated on sales to third parties, how sharing payments pursuant
to a collaboration agreement should be presented in the income statement and certain related
disclosure questions. The Company will continue to monitor the development
of EITF Issue No. 07-1 and evaluate
the effects, if any, on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
12. Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. The
adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position
or results of operations. At the date of adoption and at June 30, 2007, the Companys unrecognized
income tax benefits and uncertain tax provisions were not material.
Interest and/or penalties related to uncertain income tax positions are recognized by the
Company as a component of income tax expense. Upon adoption of FIN 48 and for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and in various state jurisdictions. The
Companys tax years for 1998 and forward are subject to examination by the U.S. and California tax
authorities due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating losses and research and development
credits.
11
Table of Contents
At January 1, 2007, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $17.8 million. The deferred tax
assets are primarily comprised of federal and state tax net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards
and federal and state research and development (R&D) credit carryforwards. Due to uncertainties
surrounding the Companys ability to generate future taxable income to realize these assets, a full
valuation has been established to offset the Companys net deferred tax assets. Additionally, the
future utilization of the Companys NOL and R&D credit carryforwards to offset future taxable
income may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that may have
occurred previously or that could occur in the future. The Company has not yet determined whether
such an ownership change has occurred, however, the Company plans to complete a Section 382
analysis regarding the limitation of the net operating losses and research and development credits.
When this project is completed, the Company plans to update its unrecognized tax benefits under FIN
48. Therefore, the Company expects that the unrecognized tax benefits may change upon completion of
its Section 382 analysis. At this time, the Company cannot estimate how much the unrecognized tax
benefits may change. The deferred tax assets will be reduced by any carryforwards that expire prior
to utilization as a result of such limitations, with a corresponding reduction of the valuation
allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Companys
unrecognized tax benefits will not impact its effective tax rate.
13.
Subsequent Events
On July 2, 2007, the Company entered into two sublease agreements with Avanir Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (Avanir) for Avanirs excess leased facilities in San Diego, California (the Subleases).
The Company will sublease approximately 48,800 square feet of office and laboratory space for an
initial monthly rent expense of approximately $112,000, net of costs and property taxes associated
with the operation and maintenance of the subleased facilities. In addition, the Company will pay a
pro rata share of operating costs, insurance costs, costs of utilities and real property taxes
incurred by Avanir for the subleased facilities.
One of the Subleases is only applicable to a portion of the office and research facilities
through August 2008 so, on July 26, 2007, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the Lease)
with BC Sorrento, LLC (BC Sorrento) for these facilities through January 2013. Payment obligation
under the Lease will not commence until September 2008 after the obligations in the short-term
Sublease have concluded.
Connie Matsui, a director of the Company, and her husband have a controlling ownership
interest in an entity that holds a minority ownership position in BC Sorrento. In addition, this
entity currently serves as the managing member of BC Sorrento. The transaction with BC Sorrento
was reviewed and approved by the Companys Board of Directors in accordance with the Companys
related party transaction policy.

Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of
products based on the extracellular matrix for the drug delivery, oncology and dermatology markets.
Our existing products and our products under development are based on intellectual property
covering the family of human enzymes known as hyaluronidases. Hyaluronidases are enzymes (proteins)
that break down hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. Our
technology is based on our proprietary recombinant human PH20 enzyme, or rHuPH20, a human synthetic
version of hyaluronidase that degrades hyaluronic acid, a space-filling, gel-like substance that is
a major component of tissues throughout the body, such as skin and cartilage. The PH20 enzyme is a
naturally occurring enzyme that digests hyaluronic acid to temporarily break down the gel, thereby
facilitating the penetration and diffusion of other drugs and fluids that are injected under the
skin or in the muscle. It also degrades the cumulus matrix surrounding oocytes (eggs) facilitating
in vitro fertilization, or IVF.
Our operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing the Company, acquiring,
developing and securing our technology and undertaking product development for our existing
products and a limited number of product candidates. We have launched two products:
Cumulase®, a product used for IVF, and Hylenex, a product used as an adjuvant to
increase the absorption and dispersion of other injected drugs and fluids. Currently, we have only
limited revenue from the sales of Cumulase and Hylenex, in addition to revenues from collaborative
agreements with Baxter Healthcare Corporation, or Baxter, and F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. and
Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc., collectively Roche. Revenues from product sales depend on our ability to
develop, manufacture, obtain regulatory approvals for and successfully commercialize our product
candidates. All of our product candidates are in the research, pre-clinical, or clinical stage. It
may be years, if ever, before we are able to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to generate
meaningful revenue from the sale of these product candidates. We have incurred net operating losses
each year since inception, with an accumulated deficit of approximately $49.3 million as of June
30, 2007.
We currently have an effective universal shelf registration statement which will permit us,
from time to time, to offer and sell up to $32.5 million of additional equity or debt securities.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock pursuant to this registration statement
or in connection with other transactions, or even the potential for such sales through the exercise
of currently outstanding warrants, could lower the market price of our common stock and impair our
ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities. In the future, we may issue
13
Table of Contents
additional options, warrants or other derivative securities convertible into our common stock
to fund the continued development of our product candidates and for other general corporate
purposes.
Current Products and Product Candidates
We have two marketed products and multiple product candidates targeting several indications in
various stages of development. The following table summarizes our lead clinical product and
pipeline candidates:
Product | Indication (Brief Description) | Development Status | ||
Cumulase
|
In vitro fertilization | Marketed | ||
Hylenex
|
Agent for drug and fluid infusion | Marketed | ||
Chemophase
|
Chemoadjuvant for superficial bladder cancer | Phase I/IIa | ||
Enhanze Technology
|
Agent for enhanced drug delivery | Phase I | ||
HTI-101
|
Inflammation, oncology | Pre-Clinical |
Cumulase is an ex vivo (used outside the body) formulation of rHuPH20 to replace the bovine
enzyme currently used for the preparation of oocytes prior to IVF during the process of
intracytoplasmic sperm injection, in which the enzyme is an essential component. We launched
Cumulase in the European Union and the United States in June 2005.
Hylenex is a human recombinant formulation for rHuPH20 to facilitate the absorption and
dispersion of other injected drugs or fluids. When injected under the skin or in the muscle,
hyaluronidase can digest the hyaluronic acid gel, allowing for temporarily enhanced penetration and
dispersion of other injected drugs or fluids. We received approval from the Food and Drug
Administration, or FDA, for Hylenex in December 2005. In February 2007, we entered into an expanded
collaboration agreement with Baxter under which Baxter fills and finishes Hylenex and holds it for
subsequent distribution.
Chemophase, our lead oncology product candidate, is an investigative chemoadjuvant designed to
enhance the transport of chemotherapeutic agents to tumor tissue, potentially increasing diffusion
in tissues without affecting vascular permeability. Chemophase is being developed for potential use
in the treatment of patients with superficial bladder cancer. In April 2006, we commenced patient
enrollment in our Chemophase Phase I/IIa clinical trial.
Enhanze Technology, a proprietary drug enhancement system using rHuPH20, is our broader
technology opportunity that can potentially lead to proprietary partnerships with other
pharmaceutical companies. We are currently seeking partnerships with pharmaceutical companies that
market or develop drugs requiring or benefiting from injection via the subcutaneous or
intramuscular routes that could benefit from this technology. In December 2006, we signed our first
Enhanze Technology partnership with Roche.
Collaborative Agreements
Roche Agreement
In December 2006, we entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement with Roche, the Roche
Agreement, for Enhanze Technology. Under the terms of the Roche Agreement, Roche will obtain a
worldwide, exclusive license to develop and commercialize product combinations of rHuPH20 and up to
thirteen Roche target compounds resulting from the collaboration. Roche paid us $20 million as an
initial upfront license fee for the application of rHuPH20 to three pre-defined Roche biologic
targets. Pending the successful completion of a series of clinical, regulatory, and sales events,
Roche will pay us further milestones which could potentially reach a value of up to $111 million.
In addition, Roche will pay us royalties on product sales for these first three targets. Over the
next ten years, Roche will also have the option to exclusively develop and commercialize rHuPH20
with an additional ten targets to be identified by Roche, provided that Roche will be obligated to
pay continuing exclusivity maintenance fees to us in order to maintain its exclusive development
rights for these targets. For each of the additional ten targets, Roche may pay us further upfront
and milestone payments of up to $47 million per target, as well as royalties on product sales for
each of these additional ten targets. Additionally, Roche will obtain access to our expertise in
developing and applying rHuPH20 to Roche targets.

Table of Contents
Baxter Agreements
In February 2007, we amended certain agreements with Baxter for Hylenex and entered into a new
agreement, collectively the Baxter Agreements, for kits and co-formulations with rHuPH20. Under the
terms of the Baxter Agreements, Baxter paid us a nonrefundable upfront payment of $10 million and,
pending the successful completion of a series of regulatory and sales events, Baxter will make
milestone payments to us which could potentially reach a value of up to $25 million. In addition,
Baxter will make payments to us based on the sales of products covered under the Baxter Agreements.
Baxter prepaid $1 million of such product-based payments in connection with the execution of the
Baxter Agreements, and Baxter is obligated to prepay $9 million of additional product-based
payments on or prior to January 1, 2009. Baxter will also now assume all development,
manufacturing, clinical, regulatory, sales and marketing costs of the products covered by the
Baxter Agreements. We will continue to supply Baxter with the API for Hylenex, and Baxter will fill
and finish Hylenex and hold it for subsequent distribution. In addition, Baxter will obtain a
worldwide, exclusive license to develop and commercialize product combinations of rHuPH20 with
Baxter hydration fluids and generic small molecule drugs, with the exception of combinations with
(i) bisphosphonates, as well as (ii) cytostatic and cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, the rights
to which have been retained by us. Additionally, Baxter will make product-based payments on the
sales, if any, of the products that result from the collaboration.
Revenues
Revenues from product sales depend on our ability to develop, manufacture, obtain regulatory
approvals for and successfully commercialize our products and product candidates.
Revenues from license and collaboration agreements are recognized based on the performance
requirements of the underlying agreements. Revenue is deferred for fees received before earned.
Non-refundable upfront fees, where we have an ongoing involvement or performance obligation, are
recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the contract or development period.
Milestone payments are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in
the underlying agreement. Royalty revenues from the sale of licensed products are recognized upon
the sale of such products.
In February 2007 and December 2006, we entered into the Baxter Agreements and Roche Agreement,
respectively, which consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, reimbursements of research and
development services, various performance or sales milestones and future product-based or royalty
payments, as applicable. Due to our ongoing involvement obligations under the agreements, we
recorded the non-refundable upfront license fees as deferred revenues. Such revenues are being
recognized over the term of the agreements.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of raw materials, third-party manufacturing
costs, fill and finish costs, and freight costs associated with the sales of Cumulase, and the API
for Hylenex.
Research and Development. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs
associated with the development and manufacturing of our product candidates, compensation and other
expenses for research and development personnel, supplies and materials, costs for consultants and
related contract research, clinical trials, facility costs, and depreciation. We charge all
research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred. Our research and development
activities are primarily focused on the development of our Chemophase and Enhanze Technology
product candidates.
Since our inception in 1998 through June 30, 2007, we have incurred research and development
expenses of $35.2 million. From January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2007, approximately 48% of our
research and development expenses were associated with the research and development of our
recombinant human PH20 enzyme used in our Cumulase and Hylenex products, and approximately 16% of
our research and development expenses were associated with the development of our Chemophase
product candidate. Due to the uncertainty in obtaining FDA approval, our reliance on third parties,
and competitive pressures, we are unable to estimate with any certainty the additional costs we
will incur in the continued development of our Chemophase product candidate for commercialization.
However, we expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially if we are
15
Table of Contents
able to advance our Chemophase product candidate and our other product candidates into later
stages of clinical development.
Clinical development timelines, likelihood of success, and total costs vary widely. Although
we are currently focused primarily on advancing Chemophase, we anticipate that we will make
determinations as to which research and development projects to pursue and how much funding to
direct to each project on an ongoing basis in response to the scientific and clinical progress of
each product candidate and other market and regulatory developments.
Product candidate completion dates and costs vary significantly for each product candidate and
are difficult to estimate. The lengthy process of seeking regulatory approvals and the subsequent
compliance with applicable regulations require the expenditure of substantial resources. 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 cannot be certain when, or if, our Chemophase product candidate, or any
of our other product candidates, will receive regulatory approval or whether any net cash inflow
from our Chemophase product candidate, or any of our other product candidates, or development
projects, will commence.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of compensation and other expenses related to our corporate operations and administrative
employees, accounting and legal fees, other professional services expenses, marketing expenses, as
well as other expenses associated with operating as a publicly traded company. We anticipate
continued increases in selling, general and administrative expenses as our operations continue to
expand.
Interest Income. Interest income consists primarily of income earned on our cash and cash
equivalents. We anticipate increases in interest income due to increases in our cash and cash
equivalents.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations are based on
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We
review our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We
believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue
Recognition, and Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1)
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been
rendered; (3) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is
reasonably assured.
Product Sales
Revenues from the sale of Cumulase are recognized when the transfer of ownership occurs which
is upon shipment to the distributors. We are not obligated to accept returns for the sale of
Cumulase once it has reached its expiration date. Therefore, no allowance for product returns has
been established.
Under the terms of the Baxter Agreements, we supply Baxter the active pharmaceutical
ingredient, or API, for Hylenex at our fully burdened cost plus a margin, and Baxter fills and
finishes Hylenex and holds it for subsequent distribution. After determining that Hylenex meets
product specifications, we release it. Because of our continued involvement in the development and
production process of Hylenex, the earnings process is not considered to be
16
Table of Contents
complete. Accordingly, we defer the revenue and related product costs on the API for Hylenex
until the product is filled, finished, packaged and released. In addition, the Company receives
product-based payments upon the sale of Hylenex by Baxter, in accordance with the terms of the
Baxter Agreements. Product sales revenues are recognized as the Company earns such revenues based
on Baxters shipments of Hylenex to its distributors when such amounts can be reasonably estimated.
Baxter prepaid $1 million of such product-based payments which was deferred and is being
recognized as earned.
Revenues under Collaborative Agreements
Revenues from collaborative and licensing agreements are recognized based on the performance
requirements of the underlying agreements. Revenue is deferred for fees received before earned.
Nonrefundable upfront payments, in which we have an ongoing involvement or performance obligation,
are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the contract or development period.
In February 2007, we entered into the Baxter Agreements which consist of nonrefundable upfront
license fees, reimbursements of research and development services, various performance or sales
milestones and product-based payments. Due to our ongoing involvement obligations, the
nonrefundable upfront license fee received in February 2007 under the Baxter Agreements was
deferred and is being recognized over the term of the contract.
Reimbursements of research and development services are recognized as revenues during the
period in which the services are performed. Payments related to substantive, performance-based
milestones in a collaborative agreement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the
milestones as specified in the underlying agreements when they represent the culmination of the
earnings process. Royalties to be received based on sales of licensed products by our collaborators
incorporating our products are recognized as earned in accordance with the terms of the underlying
agreements.
Share-Based Compensation
We account for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment , or SFAS 123R, which we adopted
effective January 1, 2006, including the provisions of the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,
or SAB 107. W use the fair value method to account for share-based payments with a modified
prospective application which provides for certain changes to the method for valuing share-based
compensation. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new awards and awards that are
outstanding on the effective date and subsequently modified or cancelled. Under the modified
prospective application, prior periods were not revised for comparative purposes. Total
compensation cost for our share-based payments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was
$641,000 and $1,056,000, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expense and research and
development expense included share-based compensation of $483,000 and $158,000, respectively, for
the three months ended June 30, 2007, while selling, general and administrative expense and
research and development expense included share-based compensation of $753,000 and $303,000,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, $4.3 million of total
unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested awards is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 2.0 years.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, or Black-Scholes model, that uses assumptions regarding
a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our
expected stock price volatility, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors,
risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatilities are based on historical
volatility of our common stock and our peer group. The expected term of options granted is based on
analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercises. The risk-free interest
rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. Since we do not
expect to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, we estimated the dividend
yield to be 0%. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We estimate
pre-vesting forfeitures based on our historical experience and those of our peer group.
If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of SFAS 123R in
future periods, the compensation expense that we record under SFAS 123R may differ significantly
from what we have recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved
when using option pricing models to estimate share-
17
Table of Contents
based compensation under SFAS 123R. Certain share-based payments, such as employee stock
options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair
values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our consolidated financial
statements. Alternatively, values may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in
excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our consolidated
financial statements. There is currently no market-based mechanism or other practical application
to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models, nor
is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values. Although the fair value of
employee share-based awards is determined in accordance with SFAS 123R and SAB 107 using an
option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing
buyer/willing seller market transaction.
Clinical Trial and Contract Research Expenses
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Our expenses related
to clinical trials are based on estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to
contracts with multiple research institutions, clinical research organizations, and other vendors
that conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are
subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows.
Generally, these agreements set forth the scope of work to be performed at a fixed fee or unit
price. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients
or the completion of clinical trial milestones. Expenses related to clinical trials generally are
accrued based on contracted amounts applied to the level of patient enrollment and activity
according to the protocol. If timelines or contracts are modified based upon changes in the
clinical trial protocol or scope of work to be performed, we modify our estimates accordingly on a
prospective basis.
In addition, we have several contracts that extend across multiple reporting periods,
including our largest contract representing a $758,000 research contract. We recognize expenses as
the services are provided pursuant to managements assessment of the progress that has been made to
date. Such contracts require an assessment of the work that has been completed during the period,
including measurement of progress, analysis of data that justifies the progress and managements
judgment. Based on our experience and managements intimate involvement with these outsourced
contracts, it is reasonably likely that we may experience a 3% variance in our estimate of the work
completed. A 3% variance in our estimate of the work completed in our largest contract could
increase or decrease our operating expenses by approximately $22,700, which would not represent a
material change to historically reported results of operations.
Inventory
Inventory consists of our Cumulase product and our API for Hylenex. Inventory primarily
represents raw materials used in production, work in process, and finished goods inventory on hand,
valued at actual cost. Inventory is reviewed periodically for slow-moving or obsolete items. If a
launch of a new product is delayed, inventory may not be fully utilized and could be subject to
impairment, at which point we would record a reserve to adjust inventory to its net realizable
value.
The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all of our accounting
policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically
dictated by U.S. GAAP. There are also areas in which our managements judgment in selecting any
available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Please see our audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006, which contain accounting policies and other disclosures required by U.S.
GAAP.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Product Sales Product sales were $169,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$120,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $49,000 was primarily due to the
increase in sales of Cumulase and the API for Hylenex of $20,000 and $25,000, respectively.

Revenues Under Collaborative Agreements Revenues under collaborative agreements were $539,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. There were no revenues under collaborative agreements for the
three months ended June 30, 2006. Revenues under collaborative agreements primarily consist of the
amortization of upfront fees received from Baxter and Roche of $436,000 and reimbursements for
research and development services from Baxter and Roche of $103,000.
Cost of Sales Cost of sales were $76,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$17,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $59,000 was due to the increase
in sales of Cumulase and the API for Hylenex.
Research and Development Research and development expenses were $4.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase
of $2.2 million was primarily due to the increase in outsourced research and development costs of
$1.5 million due to our various pre-clinical programs and the manufacturing scale-up of our rHuPH20
enzyme. In addition, compensation costs increased by $361,000, of which $53,000 related to
share-based compensation, and recruiting and relocation expenses increased by $112,000 due to the
increase in our research and development headcount. We expect research and development costs to
increase in future periods as we continue to increase our research efforts, expand our clinical
trials, and develop and manufacture our product candidates.
Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $800,000 was primarily due to increased compensation costs of
$653,000, of which $283,000 related to share-based compensation. In addition, travel and facilities
expenses increased by $106,000 and marketing costs increased by $66,000. We expect selling, general
and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as we increase headcount.
Interest Income Interest income was $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $182,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in interest income was
due to higher average cash and cash equivalents balances and interest rates during 2007.
Net Loss Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.8 million, or $0.07 per common
share, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.05 per common share, for the three months ended June 30,
2006. The increase in net loss was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses, partially
offset by increases in revenues and interest income.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Product Sales Product sales were $356,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$193,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $163,000 was primarily due to the
increase in sales of Cumulase and the API for Hylenex of $118,000 and $41,000, respectively.
Revenues Under Collaborative Agreements Revenues under collaborative agreements were $1.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2007. There were no revenues under collaborative agreements for
the six months ended June 30, 2006. Revenues under collaborative agreements primarily consist of
the amortization of upfront fees received from Baxter and Roche of $803,000 and reimbursements for
research and development services from Baxter and Roche of $360,000.
Cost of Sales Cost of sales were $152,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$39,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $113,000 was due to the increase in
sales of Cumulase and the API for Hylenex.
Research and Development Research and development expenses were $6.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase
of $2.8 million was primarily due to the increase in outsourced research and development expenses
of $1.3 million due to our various pre-clinical programs and the manufacturing scale-up of our
rHuPH20 enzyme. In addition, compensation costs increased by $640,000, of which $100,000 related to
share-based compensation, clinical trial expenses increased by
19
Table of Contents
$311,000, research supplies expenses increased by $215,000, facilities and depreciation expenses
increased by $193,000 and recruiting and relocation expenses increased by $145,000. We expect
research and development costs to increase in future periods as we increase our research efforts,
expand our clinical trials, and continue to develop and manufacture our product candidates.
Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006. The increase of $1.3 million was primarily due to the increase in compensation costs
of $967,000, of which $379,000 related to share-based compensation. In addition, travel,
professional services and facilities expenses increased by $220,000 and marketing costs increased
by $116,000. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods
as we increase headcount.
Interest Income Interest income was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to $365,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in interest income was due to
higher average cash and cash equivalents balances and interest rates during 2007.
Net Loss Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $8.2 million, or $0.11 per common
share, compared to $6.7 million, or $0.11 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The increase in net loss was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses, partially offset
by increases in revenues and interest income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30,
2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $100.6 million. We expect our cash
requirements to increase significantly as we continue to increase our research and development for,
seek regulatory approvals of, and develop and manufacture our current product candidates. As we
expand our research and development efforts and pursue additional product opportunities, we
anticipate significant cash requirements for hiring of personnel, capital expenditures and
investment in additional internal systems and infrastructure. The amount and timing of cash
requirements will depend on the research, development, manufacture, regulatory and market
acceptance of our product candidates, if any, and the resources we devote to researching,
developing, manufacturing, commercializing and supporting our product candidates.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our
operations for at least the next twelve months. Until we can generate significant cash from our
operations, we expect to continue to fund our operations with existing cash resources that were
primarily generated from the proceeds from our recent Roche and Baxter collaborations and the sale
of our common stock to New River Management V, LP, or New River. We may finance future cash needs
through the sale of other equity securities, the exercise of our callable warrants, strategic
collaboration agreements, debt financing, or any combination of the foregoing.
In June 2005, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No.
333-125731) which initially allowed us, from time to time, to offer and sell up to $50 million of
equity or debt securities. We have previously sold common stock under this registration statement
for an aggregate of approximately $17.5 million, so we currently have the ability to issue debt and
equity securities for an aggregate of $32.5 million. We cannot be certain that our existing cash
and cash equivalents will be adequate for our anticipated needs or that additional financing will
be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us
or our stockholders. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate
some or all of our research and development programs or delay the launch of our product candidates.
If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing
stockholders could result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of
the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific
financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business.

Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operations was $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $6.3 million used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We received $11
million of initial upfront payments from Baxter in February 2007 of which $10.8 million was
recorded as deferred revenue as of June 30, 2007.
Net cash used in investing activities was $895,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $99,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was due to the increase
in purchases of property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $54.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended
June 30, 2007, we sold common stock for proceeds of approximately $52.0 million, net of issuance
costs. Additionally, we received approximately $2.8 million in proceeds from warrant and stock
option exercises during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2007, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or
financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose
entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet
arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we did not engage in
trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed
to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these
relationships.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosure about
fair value measurements. We will be required to adopt SFAS 157 in the
first quarter of 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to significantly affect its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
In
June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Non-Refundable Advance Payments for Goods or
Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development
Activities, which requires that
non-refundable advance payments for goods or services that will be
used or performed in
future research and development activities pursuant to executory
contractual arrangements be deferred and recognized as an expense in
the period that the related goods are delivered or the related
services are performed. We will adopt EITF Issue No. 07-3 in the
first quarter of 2008, and it is not expected to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
The
EITF is currently considering EITF Issue No. 07-1,
Accounting for Collaboration Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of
Intellectual Property, which is focused on how the parties to a collaborative agreement should account
for costs incurred and revenue generated on sales to third parties, how sharing payments pursuant
to a collaboration agreement should be presented in the income statement and certain related
disclosure questions. We will continue to monitor the development
of EITF Issue No. 07-1 and evaluate
the effects, if any, on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
Risk Factors
The following information sets forth factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those contained in forward-looking statements we have made in this Quarterly Report
and those we may make from time to time. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that could
cause actual results to differ, see the Risk Factors section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on March 9, 2007.

Risks Related To Our Business
We have generated only minimal revenue from product sales to date; we have a history of net losses
and negative cash flow, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.
We have generated only minimal revenue from product sales to date and may never generate
significant revenues from future product sales. Even if we do achieve significant revenues from
product sales, licensing revenues and milestone payments, we expect to incur significant operating
losses over the next several years. We have never been profitable, and we may never become
profitable. Through June 30, 2007, we have incurred aggregate net losses of approximately $49.3
million.
If we do not receive and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates, we will not be
able to commercialize our products, which would substantially impair our ability to generate
revenues.
With the exception of the December 2004 receipt of a CE (European Conformity) Mark and April
2005 FDA clearance for Cumulase, and the December 2005 FDA approval for our spreading agent,
Hylenex, none of our product candidates have received regulatory approval from the FDA or from any
similar national regulatory agency or authority in any other country in which we intend to do
business. Approval from the FDA is necessary to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products in
the United States. Most other countries in which we may do business have similar requirements.
Other manufacturers have FDA approved products for use as spreading agents, including ISTA
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., with an ovine-derived hyaluronidase, Vitrase®, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals,
Inc., with a bovine-derived hyaluronidase, Amphadase, and Primapharm, Inc., also with a
bovine-derived hyaluronidase, Hydase. The FDA has determined that Amphadase, Hydase, Hylenex and
Vitrase are each distinct new chemical entities and hence afforded five years of market
exclusivity. The five year market exclusivity precludes identical new chemical entity products
from being marketed for a period of five years. For so long as each of these products is
established as a distinctly different new chemical entity, the marketing exclusivity granted does
not prohibit the marketing of any of these products, including Hylenex. If the FDA changes its
earlier determination that Hylenex is a distinct new chemical entity, our ability to market Hylenex
will be materially impaired.
The process for obtaining FDA approval is extensive, time-consuming and costly, and there is
no guarantee that the FDA will approve any new drug applications, or NDAs, that we intend to file
with respect to any of our product candidates, or that the timing of any such approval will be
appropriate for our product launch schedule and other business priorities, which are subject to
change. We have not currently begun the NDA approval process for any of our other potential
products, and we may not be successful in obtaining such approvals for any of our potential
products.
We may not receive regulatory approvals for our product candidates for a variety of reasons,
including unsuccessful clinical trials.
Clinical testing of pharmaceutical products is also a long, expensive and uncertain process
and the failure of a clinical trial can occur at any stage. Even if initial results of pre-clinical
studies or clinical trial results are promising, we may obtain different results that fail to show
the desired levels of safety and efficacy, or we may not obtain FDA approval for a variety of other
reasons. The clinical trials of any of our product candidates could be unsuccessful, which would
prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval and commercializing the product. FDA approval can be
delayed, limited or not granted for many reasons, including, among others:
| FDA officials may not find a product candidate safe or effective enough to merit either continued testing or final approval; | ||
| FDA officials may not find that the data from pre-clinical testing and clinical trials justify approval, or they may require additional studies that would make it commercially unattractive to continue pursuit of approval; | ||
| the FDA may reject our trial data or disagree with our interpretations of either clinical trial data or applicable regulations; |
22
Table of Contents
| the cost of a clinical trial may be greater than what we originally anticipate, and we may decide to not pursue FDA approval for such a trial; | ||
| the FDA may not approve our manufacturing processes or facilities, or the processes or facilities of our contract manufacturers or raw material suppliers; | ||
| the FDA may change its formal or informal approval policies, act contrary to previous guidance, or adopt new regulations; or | ||
| the FDA may approve a product candidate for indications that are narrow or under conditions that place the product at a competitive disadvantage, which may limit our sales and marketing activities or otherwise adversely impact the commercial potential of a product. |
If the FDA does not approve our product candidates in a timely fashion on commercially viable
terms or if we terminate development of any of our product candidates due to difficulties or delays
encountered in the regulatory approval process, it will have a material adverse impact on our
business and we will be dependent on the development of our other product candidates and/or our
ability to successfully acquire other products and technologies. We may not receive regulatory
approval of our product candidate, Chemophase, or any other product candidates, in a timely manner,
or at all.
We intend to market certain of our products, and perhaps have certain of our products
manufactured, in foreign countries. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals in foreign
countries is subject to delay and failure for many of the same reasons set forth above as well as
for reasons that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The approval procedure varies among
countries and jurisdictions and can involve additional testing. The time required to obtain
approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. We may not obtain foreign
regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by
regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions, and approval by one foreign regulatory
authority does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign countries or
jurisdictions or by the FDA.
If we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, regulatory agencies may take action against us,
which could significantly harm our business.
Any approved products, along with the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data,
labeling, advertising and promotional activities for these products, are subject to continual
requirements and review by the FDA and other regulatory bodies. Regulatory authorities subject a
marketed product, its manufacturer and the manufacturing facilities to continual review and
periodic inspections. We will be subject to ongoing FDA requirements, including required
submissions of safety and other post-market information and reports, registration requirements,
current Good Manufacturing Processes, or cGMP, regulations, requirements regarding the distribution
of samples to physicians and recordkeeping requirements. The cGMP regulations include requirements
relating to quality control and quality assurance, as well as the corresponding maintenance of
records and documentation. We rely on the compliance by our contract manufacturers with cGMP
regulations and other regulatory requirements relating to the manufacture of our products. We are
also subject to state laws and registration requirements covering the distribution of our products.
Regulatory agencies may change existing requirements or adopt new requirements or policies. We
may be slow to adapt or may not be able to adapt to these changes or new requirements.
Later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes or
failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in any of the following:
| restrictions on our products or manufacturing processes; | ||
| warning letters; | ||
| withdrawal of the products from the market; | ||
| voluntary or mandatory recall; |
23
Table of Contents
| fines; | ||
| suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals; | ||
| suspension or termination of any of our ongoing clinical trials; | ||
| refusal to permit the import or export of our products; | ||
| refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit; | ||
| product seizure; or | ||
| injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties. |
If we are unable to sufficiently develop our sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or
enter into successful agreements with third parties to perform these functions, we will not be able to
fully commercialize our products.
We may not be successful in marketing and promoting our existing product candidates or any
other products we develop or acquire in the future. We are currently in the process of developing
our sales, marketing and distribution capabilities. However, our current capabilities in these
areas are very limited. In order to commercialize any products successfully, we must internally
develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or establish collaborations or
other arrangements with third parties to perform these services. We do not have extensive
experience in these areas, and we may not be able to establish adequate in-house sales, marketing
and distribution capabilities or engage and effectively manage relationships with third parties to
perform any or all of such services. To the extent that we enter into co-promotion or other
licensing arrangements, our product revenues are likely to be lower than if we directly marketed
and sold our products, and any revenues we receive will depend upon the efforts of third parties,
whose efforts may not meet our expectations or be successful.
We have entered into non-exclusive distribution agreements with MediCult AS, a Denmark-based
distributor, and MidAtlantic Diagnostics, Inc., a New Jersey-based distributor, to market and sell
our Cumulase product. We have entered into an exclusive sales and marketing agreement with Baxter
Healthcare Corporation (Baxter) to market and sell our Hylenex product in the United States and
Puerto Rico. Baxter also has the right to market and sell Hylenex on an exclusive basis in all
territories outside of the United States, if and when we seek and receive the applicable regulatory
approvals in those territories.
We
depend upon the efforts of these third parties, such as Baxter, to promote and sell our current products,
but there can be no assurance that the efforts of these third parties will meet our expectations or
result in any significant product sales. While these third parties
are largely responsible for the speed and scope of sales and
marketing efforts, they may not dedicate the resources necessary
to maximize product opportunities and our ability to cause these third
parties to increase the speed and scope of their efforts may be limited.
In addition, sales and marketing efforts could be negatively impacted
by the delay or failure to obtain additional supportive clinical
trial data for our products. Our third party partners are
responsible for conducting these additional clinical trials and our
ability to increase the efforts and resources allocated to these
trials may be limited.
If our
sole contract manufacturer is unable to manufacture significant
amounts of the active pharmaceutical ingredient used in our products, our product development
and commercialization efforts could be delayed or stopped.
We have signed a commercial supply agreement with Avid Bioservices, Inc. (Avid), a contract
manufacturing organization, to produce bulk recombinant human hyaluronidase for clinical trials and
commercial use. Avid will produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient used in each of Cumulase,
Hylenex, Chemophase, and Enhanze Technology under cGMP for commercial scale production and will
provide support for the chemistry, manufacturing and controls sections for FDA regulatory filings.
Avid has only limited experience manufacturing our active pharmaceutical ingredient batches, and we
rely on its ability to successfully manufacture these batches according to product specifications.
In addition, as a result of our contractual obligations to Roche, we
will be required to significantly scale up our active
pharmaceutical ingredient production during the next few years. We
do not currently have a significant inventory of the active
pharmaceutical ingredient used in our products and product
candidates, so if Avid does not
maintain its status as an FDA-approved manufacturing facility, is
unable to successfully scale up our
active pharmaceutical ingredient production, or is unable to manufacture the active pharmaceutical
ingredient used in our products and product candidates for any other reason, the commercialization
of our products and the development of our product candidates will be delayed and our business will
be adversely affected. We have not yet established, and may not be able
to establish, favorable arrangements with
additional manufacturers for these ingredients or products should the existing supplies become
unavailable or in the event that our sole contract manufacturer is unable to adequately perform its
responsibilities. Any delays or interruptions in the supply of materials by Avid could cause the
delay of clinical
24
Table of Contents
trials and could delay or prevent the commercialization of product candidates that may receive
regulatory approval. Such delays or interruptions would have a material adverse effect on our
business and financial condition.
If we have problems with the third parties that prepare, fill, finish, and package our product
candidates for distribution, our product development and commercialization efforts for these
candidates could be delayed or stopped.
In the event that any of our product candidates are used in clinical trials or receive the
necessary regulatory approval for commercialization, we rely on third parties to prepare, fill,
finish, and package the products prior to their distribution. If we are unable to locate third
parties to perform these functions on terms that are economically acceptable to us, the progress of
clinical trials could be delayed or even suspended and the commercialization of approved product
candidates could be delayed or prevented. We currently utilize a third-party to prepare, fill,
finish, and package Cumulase. This third party has only limited experience manufacturing Cumulase
batches and, to date, has not demonstrated a consistent ability to manufacture Cumulase according to product
specifications. In addition, one of our distributors, who utilizes our raw material for Cumulase
in production of their proprietary product, is experiencing technical challenges integrating our
raw material into their proprietary manufacturing process. If our third party manufacturer is
unable to successfully manufacture Cumulase, or if our distributor is unable to resolve their
technical issues, we may be unable to supply enough Cumulase product to meet demand. In addition,
we currently utilize a subsidiary of Baxter to prepare, fill, finish, and package Hylenex under a
development and supply agreement. Baxter has only limited experience manufacturing Hylenex
batches, and we rely on its ability to successfully manufacture Hylenex batches according to
product specifications. Any delays or interruptions in Baxters ability to manufacture Hylenex
batches in amounts necessary to meet product demand could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.
We may wish to raise funds in the next twelve months, and there can be no assurance that such funds
will be available.
During the next twelve months, we may wish to raise additional capital to complete or
accelerate the steps required to continue development of our product candidates and to fund general
operations. If we engage in acquisitions of companies, products, or technology in order to execute
our business strategy, we may need to raise additional capital. We may be required to raise
additional capital in the future through the public offering of securities, collaborative
agreements, private financings and various other equity or debt financings, including calling
outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock.
Currently, warrants to purchase approximately 5.6 million shares of our common stock are
outstanding and this amount of outstanding warrants may make us a less desirable candidate for
investment for some potential investors. Approximately 2.1 million of our outstanding warrants
contain a call feature that, potentially, may allow us to raise funds from the holders of these
warrants. We have the ability, at our sole discretion, to call warrants exercisable for up to
approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock and, upon such a call, the holders of these
warrants have thirty days to decide whether to exercise their warrants at a price of $1.75 per
share or receive $0.01 from us for each share of common stock that is not exercised.
Considering our stage of development and the nature of our capital structure, if we are
required to raise additional capital in the future, the additional financing may not be available
on favorable terms, or at all. If we are successful in raising additional capital, a substantial
number of additional shares may be issued and these shares will dilute the ownership interest of
our current investors.
If our product candidates are approved by the FDA but do not gain market acceptance, our business
will suffer because we may not be able to fund future operations.
Assuming that we obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, a number of factors may affect the
market acceptance of any of our existing product candidates or any other products we develop or
acquire in the future, including, among others:
25
Table of Contents
| the price of our products relative to other therapies for the same or similar treatments; | ||
| the perception by patients, physicians and other members of the health care community of the effectiveness and safety of our products for their prescribed treatments; | ||
| our ability to fund our sales and marketing efforts; | ||
| the degree to which the use of our products is restricted by the product label approved by the FDA; | ||
| the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; and | ||
| the introduction of generic competitors. |
If our products do not gain market acceptance, we may not be able to fund future operations,
including the development or acquisition of new product candidates and/or our sales and marketing
efforts for our approved products, which would cause our business to suffer.
In addition, our ability to market and promote our product candidates will be restricted to
the labels approved by the FDA. If the approved labels are restrictive, our sales and marketing
efforts may be negatively affected.
Developing and marketing pharmaceutical products for human use involves product liability risks,
for which we currently have limited insurance coverage.
The testing, marketing and sale of pharmaceutical products involves the risk of product
liability claims by consumers and other third parties. Although we maintain product liability
insurance coverage, product liability claims can be high in the pharmaceutical industry and our
insurance may not sufficiently cover our actual liabilities. If product liability claims were made
against us, it is possible that our insurance carriers may deny, or attempt to deny, coverage in
certain instances. If a lawsuit against us is successful, then the lack or insufficiency of
insurance coverage could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Furthermore, various distributors of pharmaceutical products require minimum product liability
insurance coverage before their purchase or acceptance of products for distribution. Failure to
satisfy these insurance requirements could impede our ability to achieve broad distribution of our
proposed products and the imposition of higher insurance requirements could impose additional costs
on us.
Our inability to attract, hire and retain key management and scientific personnel, and to recruit
qualified independent directors, could negatively affect our business.
Our success depends on the performance of key management and scientific employees with
biotechnology experience. Given our small staff size and programs currently under development, we
depend substantially on our ability to hire, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel,
especially our scientists and management team in this field. In addition, we rely on the expertise
and guidance of independent directors to develop business strategies and to guide our execution of
these strategies. Due to changes in the regulatory environment for public companies over the past
few years, the demand for independent directors has increased and it may be difficult for us, due
to competition from both like-sized and larger companies, to recruit qualified independent
directors.
Furthermore, if we were to lose key management personnel, particularly Jonathan Lim, M.D., our
chief executive officer, or Gregory Frost, Ph.D., our chief scientific officer, then we would
likely lose some portion of our institutional knowledge and technical know-how, potentially causing
a substantial delay in one or more of our development programs until adequate replacement personnel
could be hired and trained. For example, Dr. Frost has been with us from soon after our inception,
and he possesses a substantial amount of knowledge about our development efforts. If we were to
lose his services, we would experience delays in meeting our product development schedules. We have
not entered into any retention or other agreements specifically designed to motivate officers or
other employees to remain with Halozyme, other than standard agreements relating to the vesting of
stock options that every optionee of Halozyme must enter into as a condition of receiving an option
grant.
26
Table of Contents
We do not have key man life insurance policies on the lives of any of our employees, including
Dr. Lim and Dr. Frost.
Risks Related To Ownership of Our Common Stock
Future sales of shares of our common stock upon the exercise of currently outstanding securities or
pursuant to our universal shelf registration statement may negatively affect our stock price.
As a result of our January 2004 private financing transaction, we issued warrants to private
investors for the purchase of approximately 10.5 million shares of common stock at purchase prices
ranging from $0.77 to $1.75 per share. Currently, approximately 3.3 million shares of common stock
remain issuable upon the exercise of these warrants. As a result of our October 2004 financing
transaction, we issued warrants for the purchase of approximately 2.7 million shares of common
stock at a purchase price of $2.25 per share. The exercise of these warrants could result in
significant dilution to stockholders at the time of exercise which could negatively affect our
stock price.
We currently have the ability, from time to time, to offer and sell up to $32.5 million of
additional equity or debt securities under a currently effective universal shelf registration
statement. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock or other securities under
our universal shelf registration statement could lower the market price of our common stock and
impair the Companys ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities. In the
future, we may issue additional options, warrants or other derivative securities convertible into
our common stock.
Our stock price is subject to significant volatility.
We participate in a highly dynamic industry, which often results in significant volatility in
the market price of common stock irrespective of company performance. As a result, our high and
low stock prices during the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 were $11.00 and $2.15, respectively.
We expect our stock price to continue to be subject to significant volatility and, in addition to
the other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and all other risks
and uncertainties that are either not known to us at this time or which we deem to be immaterial,
any of the following factors may lead to a significant drop in our stock price:
| our failure, or the failure of one of our third party partners, to comply with the terms of our collaboration agreements; | ||
| general negative conditions in the healthcare industry; | ||
| general negative conditions in the financial markets; | ||
| the failure, for any reason, to obtain FDA approval for any of our products; | ||
| the failure, for any reason, to secure or defend our intellectual property position; | ||
| for those products that are approved by the FDA, the failure of the FDA to approve such products in a timely manner consistent with the FDAs historical approval process; | ||
| the suspension of our Chemophase clinical trial due to safety or patient tolerability issues; | ||
| the suspension of our Chemophase clinical trial due to market and/or competitive conditions; | ||
| our failure, or the failure of our third party partners, to successfully commercialize products approved by the FDA; | ||
| our failure, or the failure of our third party partners, to generate product revenues anticipated by investors; | ||
| problems with our sole API contract manufacturer or our sole fill and finish manufacturer for Hylenex; |
27
Table of Contents
| the exercise of our right to redeem certain outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock; | ||
| the sale of additional debt and/or equity securities by us; and | ||
| the departure of key personnel. |
Trading in our stock has historically been limited, so investors may not be able to sell as much
stock as they want to at prevailing market prices.
Notwithstanding recent increases to the daily trading volume, our stock has historically
traded at a lower daily trading volume. If current trading volumes do not continue and limited
trading in our stock returns, it may be difficult for stockholders to sell their shares in the
public market at any given time at prevailing prices.
Our decision to redeem outstanding warrants may drive down the market price of our stock.
We may have the ability to redeem certain outstanding warrants, under certain conditions, that
may be exercised for approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock. The redemption price for
these warrants is $0.01 per share, but the warrant holders have the opportunity to exercise their
warrants prior to redemption at the price of $1.75 per share. If we decide to redeem any portion of
our outstanding warrants in the future, some selling security holders may choose to sell
outstanding shares of common stock in order to finance the exercise of the warrants prior to their
redemption. This pattern of selling may result in a reduction of our common stocks market price.
Risks Related To Our Industry
Compliance with the extensive government regulations to which we are subject is expensive and time
consuming and may result in the delay or cancellation of product sales, introductions or
modifications.
Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our
business. All pharmaceutical companies, including Halozyme, are subject to extensive, complex,
costly and evolving regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA and, to a lesser
extent, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and foreign and state government agencies.
The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act and other domestic and
foreign statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacturing, packaging,
labeling, storing, recordkeeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution
of our products. Under certain of these regulations, Halozyme and its contract suppliers and
manufacturers are subject to periodic inspection of its or their respective facilities, procedures
and operations and/or the testing of products by the FDA, the DEA and other authorities, which
conduct periodic inspections to confirm that Halozyme and its contract suppliers and manufacturers
are in compliance with all applicable regulations. The FDA also conducts pre-approval and
post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems, or our contract
suppliers and manufacturers processes, are in compliance with cGMP and other FDA regulations. If
we, or our contract supplier, fail these inspections, we may not be able to commercialize our
product in a timely manner without incurring significant additional costs, or at all.
In addition, the FDA imposes a number of complex regulatory requirements on entities that
advertise and promote pharmaceuticals including, but not limited to, standards and regulations for
direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, industry-sponsored scientific and educational
activities, and promotional activities involving the internet.
We are dependent on receiving FDA and other governmental approvals prior to manufacturing,
marketing and shipping our products. Consequently, there is always a risk that the FDA or other
applicable governmental authorities will not approve our products, or will take post-approval
action limiting or revoking our ability to sell our products, or that the rate, timing and cost of
such approvals will adversely affect our product introduction plans or results of operations.
28
Table of Contents
Our suppliers and sole manufacturer are subject to regulation by the FDA and other agencies, and if
they do not meet their commitments, we would have to find substitute suppliers or manufacturers,
which could delay the supply of our products to market.
Regulatory requirements applicable to pharmaceutical products make the substitution of
suppliers and manufacturers costly and time consuming. We have no internal manufacturing
capabilities and are, and expect to be in the future, entirely dependent on contract manufacturers
and suppliers for the manufacture of our products and for their active and other ingredients. The
disqualification of these manufacturers and suppliers through their failure to comply with
regulatory requirements could negatively impact our business because the delays and costs in
obtaining and qualifying alternate suppliers (if such alternative suppliers are available, which we
cannot assure) could delay clinical trials or otherwise inhibit our ability to bring approved
products to market, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
condition.
We may be required to initiate or defend against legal proceedings related to intellectual property
rights, which may result in substantial expense, delay and/or cessation of the development and
commercialization of our products.
We rely on patents to protect our intellectual property rights. The strength of this
protection, however, is uncertain. For example, it is not certain that:
| our patents and pending patent applications cover products and/or technology that we invented first; | ||
| we were the first to file patent applications for these inventions; | ||
| others will not independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate our technologies; | ||
| any of our pending patent applications will result in issued patents; and | ||
| any of our issued patents, or patent pending applications that result in issued patents, will be held | ||
valid and infringed in the event the patents are asserted against others. |
We currently own or license several U.S. patents and also have pending patent applications.
There can be no assurance that our existing patents, or any patents issued to us as a result of our
pending patent applications, will provide a basis for commercially viable products, will provide us
with any competitive advantages, or will not face third party challenges or be the subject of
further proceedings limiting their scope or enforceability. Such limitations in our patent
portfolio could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In
addition, if any of our pending patent applications do not result in issued patents, this could
have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
We may become involved in interference proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to
determine the priority of our inventions. In addition, costly litigation could be necessary to
protect our patent position. We also rely on trademarks to protect the names of our products.
These trademarks may be challenged by others. If we enforce our trademarks against third parties,
such enforcement proceedings may be expensive. We also rely on trade secrets, unpatented
proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation that we seek to protect with
confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and others with whom we discuss our
business. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the
applicability or enforceability of these agreements, and we might not be able to resolve these
disputes in our favor.
In addition to protecting our own intellectual property rights, third parties may assert
patent, trademark or copyright infringement or other intellectual property claims against us based
on what they believe are their own intellectual property rights. If we become involved in any
intellectual property litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages, including but not
limited to treble damages, for past infringement if it is ultimately determined that our products
infringe a third partys intellectual property rights. Even if infringement claims against us are
without merit, defending a lawsuit takes significant time, may be expensive and may divert
managements attention from other business concerns. Further, we may be stopped from developing,
manufacturing or selling our products
29
Table of Contents
until we obtain a license from the owner of the relevant technology or other intellectual
property rights. If such a license is available at all, it may require us to pay substantial
royalties or other fees.
Future acquisitions could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition.
In order to augment our product pipeline or otherwise strengthen our business, we may decide
to acquire additional businesses, products and technologies. As we have limited experience in
evaluating and completing acquisitions, our ability as an organization to make such acquisitions is
unproven. Acquisitions could require significant capital infusions and could involve many risks,
including, but not limited to, the following:
| we may have to issue convertible debt or equity securities to complete an acquisition, which would dilute our stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock; | ||
| an acquisition may negatively impact our results of operations because it may require us to incur large one-time charges to earnings, amortize or write down amounts related to goodwill and other intangible assets, or incur or assume substantial debt or liabilities, or it may cause adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges; | ||
| we may encounter difficulties in assimilating and integrating the business, technologies, products, personnel or operations of companies that we acquire; | ||
| certain acquisitions may disrupt our relationship with existing customers who are competitive with the acquired business; | ||
| acquisitions may require significant capital infusions and the acquired businesses, products or technologies may not generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs; | ||
| an acquisition may disrupt our ongoing business, divert resources, increase our expenses and distract our management; | ||
| acquisitions may involve the entry into a geographic or business market in which we have little or no prior experience; and | ||
| key personnel of an acquired company may decide not to work for us. |
If any of these risks occurred, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition
and operating results. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or consummate any
future acquisitions on acceptable terms, or at all. If we do pursue any acquisitions, it is
possible that we may not realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions or that the market
will not view such acquisitions positively.
If third party reimbursement and customer contracts are not available, our products may not be
accepted in the market.
Our ability to earn sufficient returns on our products will depend in part on the extent to
which reimbursement for our products and related treatments will be available from government
health administration authorities, private health insurers, managed care organizations and other
healthcare providers.
Third-party payors are increasingly attempting to limit both the coverage and the level of
reimbursement of new drug products to contain costs. Consequently, significant uncertainty exists
as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. Third party payors may not
establish adequate levels of reimbursement for the products that we commercialize, which could
limit their market acceptance and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Customer contracts, such as with group paying organizations and hospital formularies, will
often not offer contract or formulary status without either the lowest price or substantial proven
clinical differentiation. If our products are compared to animal-extracted hyaluronidases by these
entities, it is possible that neither of these
30
Table of Contents
conditions will be met, which could limit market acceptance and result in a material adverse
effect on our financial condition.
The rising cost of healthcare and related pharmaceutical product pricing has led to cost
containment pressures that could cause us to sell our products at lower prices, resulting in less
revenue to us.
Any of our products that have been or in the future are approved by the FDA may be purchased
or reimbursed by state and federal government authorities, private health insurers and other
organizations, such as health maintenance organizations and managed care organizations. Such third
party payors increasingly challenge pharmaceutical product pricing. The trend toward managed
healthcare in the United States, the growth of such organizations, and various legislative
proposals and enactments to reform healthcare and government insurance programs, including the
Medicare Prescription Drug Modernization Act of 2003, could significantly influence the manner in
which pharmaceutical products are prescribed and purchased, resulting in lower prices and/or a
reduction in demand. Such cost containment measures and healthcare reforms could adversely affect
our ability to sell our products. Furthermore, individual states have become increasingly
aggressive in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical
product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on
certain product access, importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. Legally mandated
price controls on payment amounts by third party payors or other restrictions could negatively and
materially impact our revenues and financial condition. We anticipate that we will encounter
similar regulatory and legislative issues in most other countries outside the United States.
We face intense competition and rapid technological change that could result in the development of
products by others that are superior to the products we are developing.
We have numerous competitors in the United States and abroad, including, among others, major
pharmaceutical and specialized biotechnology firms, universities and other research institutions
that may be developing competing products. Such competitors include, but are not limited to,
Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, ISTA Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or ISTA, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or
Amphastar, and Primapharm, Inc. or Primapharm, among others. These competitors may develop
technologies and products that are more effective, safer, or less costly than our current or future
product candidates or that could render our technologies and product candidates obsolete or
noncompetitive. Many of these competitors have substantially more resources and product
development, manufacturing and marketing experience and capabilities than we do. In addition, many
of our competitors have significantly greater experience than we do in undertaking pre-clinical
testing and clinical trials of pharmaceutical product candidates and obtaining FDA and other
regulatory approvals of products and therapies for use in healthcare. Other manufacturers have FDA
approved products for use as spreading agents, including ISTA, with an ovine-derived hyaluronidase,
Vitrase®, Amphastar, with a bovine-derived hyaluronidase, Amphadase, and Primapharm,
also with a bovine-derived hyaluronidase, Hydase. The FDA has determined that Amphadase, Hydase,
Hylenex and Vitrase are distinct new chemical entities and hence afforded five years of market
exclusivity. The five year market exclusivity precludes identical new chemical entity products
from being marketed for a period of five years. As each of these products is established as
distinctly different new chemical entities, the marketing exclusivity granted does not prohibit the
marketing of the products.
We are exposed to product liability claims, and insurance against these claims may not be available
to us on reasonable terms, or at all.
We might incur substantial liability in connection with clinical trials or the sale of our
products. Product liability insurance is expensive and in the future may not be available on
commercially acceptable terms, or at all. We currently carry a limited amount of product liability
insurance. A successful claim or claims brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage
could materially harm our business and financial condition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity which is affected by
changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because the majority of our
investments are in short-term marketable securities. An immediate 10% change in interest rates
would not have a material effect on the fair market value of
31
Table of Contents
our portfolio; therefore, we believe that we are not subject to any material market risk
exposure. We do not have any foreign currency or other derivative financial instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our
operations in the normal course of business. Any of these claims could subject us to costly
litigation and, while we generally believe that we have adequate insurance to cover many different
types of liabilities, our insurance carriers may deny coverage or our policy limits may be
inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment
of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations
and financial position. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our
reputation and business. We currently are not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse
outcome of which, in managements opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material
adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
A description of the risk factors associated with our business is included under Risk
Factors in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, contained in Item 2 of Part I of this report. This description includes any changes to
and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously
disclosed in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There
have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, holders of the Companys various outstanding
warrants exercised rights to purchase 628,125 common shares for gross proceeds of approximately
$968,000. The shares and underlying warrants were purchased for investment in a private placement
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.
On May 31, 2007, the Company sold 3,500,000 common shares to New River Management V, LP (New
River) at a price of $9.17 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $32,095,000. New River
is a private equity fund managed by Third Security LLC and affiliated with the Companys largest
stockholder and director, Randal J. Kirk. No shareholder approval was required for the sale of the
shares. The shares were sold pursuant to exemptions from registration under Regulation D of the
Securities Act, and proceeds from the sale of the shares will be used to support our ongoing
operations, including research and development activities, as well as for other general corporate
purposes. We did not immediately file a registration statement covering the resale of these shares,
but we have agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC on or before November 1, 2007,
covering the resale of these shares.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Not applicable.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The Companys Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on May 15, 2007. Two proposals were
