1. Business Organization and Presentation
Business organization
Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Vanda or the Company) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on
the development and commercialization of products for the treatment of central nervous system
disorders. Vanda commenced its operations in 2003. The Companys lead product, Fanapt®
(iloperidone), which Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis) began marketing in the U.S. in the first quarter
of 2010, is a compound for the treatment of schizophrenia. On May 6, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) granted U.S. marketing approval of Fanapt® for the acute treatment of
schizophrenia in adults. On October 12, 2009, Vanda entered into an amended and restated
sublicense agreement with Novartis. Vanda had originally entered into a sublicense agreement with
Novartis on June 4, 2004 pursuant to which Vanda obtained certain worldwide exclusive licenses from
Novartis relating to Fanapt®. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Novartis
has exclusive commercialization rights to all formulations of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada.
Novartis is responsible for the further clinical development activities in the U.S. and Canada,
including the development of a long-acting injectable (or depot) formulation of Fanapt®. Pursuant
to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Vanda received an upfront payment of $200.0
million at the end of 2009 and is eligible for additional payments totaling up to $265.0 million
upon the achievement of certain commercial and development milestones for Fanapt® in the U.S. and
Canada. Vanda also receives royalties, which, as a percentage of net sales, are in the low
double-digits, on net sales of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, Vanda is no longer
required to make any future milestone payments with respect to sales of Fanapt® or any future
royalty payments with respect to sales of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Vanda retains exclusive
rights to Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada and Vanda has exclusive rights to use any of
Novartis data for Fanapt® for developing and commercializing Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada.
At Novartis option, Vanda will enter into good faith discussions with Novartis relating to the
co-commercialization of Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada or, alternatively, Novartis will
receive a royalty on net sales of Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada. Novartis has chosen not
to co-commercialize Fanapt with Vanda in Europe and will instead receive a royalty on net sales in
those countries. This includes the countries in the European Union as well as Switzerland, Norway,
Liechtenstein, and Iceland. Vanda continues to explore the regulatory path and commercial
opportunity for Fanapt® oral formulation outside of the U.S. and Canada. On November 1, 2010, the
Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australias Department of Health and Ageing, accepted for
evaluation Vandas application for marketing approval for the Fanapt® oral formulation. On July
22, 2011, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) notified Vanda that it had accepted for evaluation
the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for oral iloperidone tablets. Vanda has entered into
agreements with the following partners for the commercialization of Fanapt® in the countries set
forth below:
Country | Partner | |
Mexico
|
Probiomed S.A. de C.V. | |
Argentina
|
Biotoscana Farma S.A. |
Tasimelteon is an oral compound in development for the treatment of sleep and mood disorders
including Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders (CRSD). On January 19, 2010, the FDA granted orphan drug
designation status for tasimelteon in a specific CRSD, Non-24 Hour Sleep/Wake Disorder (N24HSWD) in
blind individuals without light perception. The FDA grants orphan drug designation to drugs that
may provide significant therapeutic advantage over existing treatments and target conditions
affecting 200,000 or fewer U.S. patients per year. Orphan drug designation provides potential
financial and regulatory incentives including study design assistance, waiver of FDA user fees, tax
credits, and up to seven years of market exclusivity upon marketing approval. On February 23, 2011,
the European Commission (EC) designated tasimelteon as an orphan medicinal product for the same
indication. Vanda initiated two clinical trials to pursue FDA approval of tasimelteon for the
treatment of N24HSWD in blind individuals without light perception in the third quarter of 2010.
The first trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a planned enrollment
of approximately 160 patients with N24HSWD. The trial has a six month treatment period and includes
measures of both nighttime and daytime sleep, as well as laboratory measures of the synchronization
between the internal body clock and the 24-hour environmental light/dark cycle. Vanda also
initiated a one-year safety study of tasimelteon for the treatment of N24HSWD. This trial is an
open-label safety study with a planned enrollment of approximately 140 patients with N24HSWD.
Vanda plans to conduct additional clinical trials over the next one to two years to support the use
of tasimelteon as a circadian regulator and the submission of a new drug application (NDA) to the
FDA and a marketing authorization application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). On January
6, 2011, an end-of-Phase II meeting was held with the FDA to discuss the development plan for
tasimelteon in the treatment of N24HSWD. Vanda is also evaluating tasimelteon in Major Depressive
Disorder (MDD) and plans to initiate a Phase IIb/III clinical trial of tasimelteon in patients with
MDD. The trial is expected to
7
Table of Contents
VANDA PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
begin during the second half of 2011 and will investigate the efficacy and safety of
tasimelteon versus placebo in the treatment of MDD. The study is expected to include an 8-week
treatment period and an optional open-label extension. Given the range of potential indications for
tasimelteon, Vanda may pursue one or more partnerships for the development and commercialization of
tasimelteon worldwide.
Throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Vanda refers to Fanapt® within the U.S. and
Canada as its partnered product and Vanda refers to Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada and
tasimelteon as its products. All other compounds are referred to as Vandas product candidates.
In addition, Vanda refers to its partnered products, products and product candidates collectively
as its compounds. Moreover, Vanda refers to drug products generally as drugs or products.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2010 included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K. The financial
information as of June 30, 2011 and for the period of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
is unaudited, but in the opinion of management all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of these interim periods have
been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2010 was derived
from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
The results of the Companys operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The
financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with consolidated financial
statements and notes in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows, cash equivalents represent highly-liquid investments with a maturity date
of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Marketable securities
The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities. The
Companys investment policy requires the selection of high-quality issuers, with bond ratings of
AAA to A1+/P1. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized
gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders equity in accumulated other comprehensive
income/loss. Interest and dividend income is recorded when earned and included in interest income.
Premiums and discounts on marketable securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to
maturity and included in interest income. The Company uses the specific identification method in
computing realized gains and losses on the sale of investments, which would be included in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations when generated. Marketable securities with a
maturity of more than one year as of the balance sheet date are classified as long-term securities.
Intangible asset, net
Costs incurred for products or product candidates not yet approved by the FDA and for which no
alternative future use exists are recorded as expense. In the event a product or product candidate
has been approved by the FDA or an alternative future use
8
Table of Contents
VANDA PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
exists for a product or product
candidate, patent and license costs are capitalized and amortized over the expected patent life of
the related product or product candidate. Milestone payments to the Companys partners are
recognized when it is deemed probable that the milestone event will occur.
As a result of the FDAs approval of the NDA for Fanapt® in May 2009, the Company met a
milestone under its original sublicense agreement with Novartis which required the Company to make
a payment of $12.0 million to Novartis. The $12.0 million is being amortized on a straight line
basis over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt®, which the Company expects to last
until May 15, 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that extends patent protection for
drug compounds for a period of up to five years to compensate for time spent in development and a
six-month pediatric term extension. This term is the Companys best estimate of the life of the
patent; if, however, the Hatch-Waxman or pediatric extensions are not granted, the intangible asset
will be amortized over a shorter period.
The carrying values of intangible assets are periodically reviewed to determine if the facts
and circumstances suggest that a potential impairment may have occurred. The Company had no
impairments of its intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, which include cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable, approximate their fair values due to
their short nature.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the lease term. The costs of additions and
improvements are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations in the
period incurred. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated
depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
reflected in the statement of operations for that period.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenues are derived primarily from the amended and restated sublicense
agreement with Novartis and include an up-front payment, product sales and future milestone and
royalty payments. Revenue is considered both realizable and earned when each one of the following
four conditions is met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the arrangement fee
is fixed or determinable, (3) delivery or performance has occurred and (4) collectability is
reasonably assured. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Novartis has the
right to commercialize and develop Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Under the amended and restated
sublicense agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $200.0 million in December of
2009. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, the Company and Novartis
established a Joint Steering Committee (JSC) following the effective date of the amended and
restated sublicense agreement. The Company expects to have an active role on the JSC and concluded
that the JSC constitutes a deliverable under the amended and restated sublicense agreement and that
revenue related to the upfront payment will be recognized ratably over the term of the JSC;
however, the delivery or performance has no term as the exact length of the JSC is undefined. As a
result, the Company deems the performance period of the JSC to be the life of the U.S. patent of
Fanapt®, which the Company expects to last until May 15, 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman
extension that provides patent protection for drug compounds for a period of up to five years to
compensate for time spent in development and a six-month pediatric term extension. This term is
the Companys best estimate of the life of the patent. Revenue will be recognized ratably from the
date the amended and restated sublicense agreement became effective (November 27, 2009) through the
expected life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt® (May 15, 2017). Revenue related to product sales is
recognized upon delivery to Novartis. The Company recognizes revenue from Fanapt® royalties and
commercial and development milestones from Novartis when realizable and earned.
Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company
places its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with what the Company believes to be
highly-rated financial institutions. At June 30, 2011, the Company maintained all of its cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities in three financial institutions. Deposits held with
these institutions may exceed the amount of
9
Table of Contents
VANDA PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand,
and the Company believes there is minimal risk of losses on such balances.
Accrued expenses
The Companys management is required to estimate accrued expenses as part of the process
of preparing financial statements. The estimation of accrued expenses involves identifying services
that have been performed on the Companys behalf, and then estimating the level of service
performed and the associated cost incurred for such services as of each balance sheet date in the
financial statements. Accrued expenses include professional service fees, such as lawyers and
accountants, contract service fees, such as those under contracts with clinical monitors, data
management organizations and investigators in conjunction with clinical trials, fees to contract
manufacturers in conjunction with the production of clinical materials, and fees for marketing and
other commercialization activities. Pursuant to managements assessment of the services that have
been performed on clinical trials and other contracts, the Company recognizes these expenses as the
services are provided. Such management assessments include, but are not limited to: (1) an
evaluation by the project manager of the work that has been completed during the period, (2)
measurement of progress prepared internally and/or provided by the third-party service provider,
(3) analyses of data that justify the progress, and (4) managements judgment. In the event that
the Company does not identify certain costs that have begun to be incurred or the Company under- or
over-estimates the level of services performed or the costs of such services, the Companys
reported expenses for such period would be too low or too high.
Research and development expenses
The Companys research and development expenses consist primarily of fees for services
provided by third parties in connection with the clinical trials, costs of contract manufacturing
services, milestone license fees, costs of materials used in clinical trials and research and
development, cost for regulatory consultants and filings, depreciation of capital resources used to
develop products, related facilities costs, and salaries, other employee related costs and
stock-based compensation for the research and development personnel. The Company expenses research
and development costs as they are incurred for compounds in the development stage, including
certain payments made under the license agreements. Prior to FDA approval, all
Fanapt® manufacturing-related and milestone costs were included in research
and development expenses. Subsequent to FDA approval of Fanapt®,
manufacturing and milestone costs related to this product are being capitalized. Costs related to
the acquisitions of intellectual property have been expensed as incurred since the underlying
technology associated with these acquisitions were made in connection with the Companys research
and development efforts and have no alternative future use. Milestone payments are accrued in
accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for contingencies which states that milestones
payments be accrued when it is deemed probable that the milestone event will be achieved.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, other employee related
costs and stock-based compensation for personnel serving executive, business development,
marketing, finance, accounting, information technology and human resource functions, facility costs
not otherwise included in research and development expenses, insurance costs and professional fees
for legal, accounting and other professional services. General and administrative expenses also
include third party expenses incurred to support business development, marketing and other business
activities related to Fanapt®.
Employee stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation expenses in accordance with the FASB
guidance on share-based payments which were adopted on January 1, 2006. Accordingly,
compensation costs for all stock-based awards to employees and directors are measured based on the
grant date fair value of those awards and recognized over the period during which the employee or
director is required to perform service in exchange for the award. The Company generally recognizes
the expense over the awards vesting period.
The fair value of stock options granted is amortized using the accelerated attribution method.
The fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded is amortized using the straight line
method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the
consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has
been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of
grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates. Pre-vesting forfeitures on the options granted prior to 2009 were estimated to be
approximately 2%. The forfeiture rate was increased to 4% in 2009, and currently remains so, on
subsequently granted options based on the Companys historical experience.

Total employee stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was comprised of the following:

As of June 30, 2011, $7.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to
non-vested awards are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.30 years.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had two equity incentive plans, the Second Amended and
Restated Management Equity Plan (the 2004 Plan) and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan)
that were adopted in December 2004 and April 2006, respectively. An aggregate of 680,754 shares
were subject to outstanding options granted under the 2004 Plan as of June 30, 2011, and no
additional options will be granted under this plan. As of June 30, 2011, there were 6,741,579
shares of the Companys common stock reserved under the 2006 Plan of which 3,864,563 shares
were subject to outstanding options and RSUs issued to employees and non-employees.
Options are subject to terms and conditions established by the compensation committee of the
board of directors. None of the stock-based awards are classified as a liability as of June 30,
2011. Option awards have 10-year contractual terms and all options granted prior to December 31,
2006, options granted to new employees, and certain options granted to existing employees vest and
become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date with respect to 25% of the shares
subject to the option awards. The remaining 75% of the shares subject to the option awards vest and
become exercisable monthly in equal installments thereafter over three years. Certain option
awards granted to existing employees after December 31, 2006 vest and become exercisable monthly in
equal installments over four years. The initial stock options granted to directors upon their
election vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a period of four years,
while the subsequent annual stock option grants to directors vest and become exercisable in equal
monthly installments over a period of one year. Certain option awards to executives and directors
provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company. Certain option
awards to employees and executives provide for accelerated vesting if the respective employees or
executives service is terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause or permanent
disability.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.
Expected volatility rates are based on the Companys historical volatility of its publicly traded
common stock blended with the historical volatility of the common stock of comparable entities.
The expected term of options granted is based on the transition approach provided by FASB guidance
as the options meet the plain vanilla criteria required by this guidance. The risk-free interest
rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the
option in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has not paid cash dividends to its
stockholders since its inception and does not plan to pay any such dividends in the foreseeable
future.
Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for employee and director
stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

2011 was $4.69 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the amounts received in
cash from options exercised under the stock-based arrangements were not material.
A RSU is a stock award that entitles the holder to receive shares of the Companys common
stock as the award vests. The fair value of each RSU is based on the closing price of the Companys
stock on the date of grant which equals the RSUs intrinsic value. As of June 30, 2011, there was
$3.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSU awards granted under
the Companys stock incentive plans.

Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with the FASB
provisions on accounting for income taxes, which requires companies to account for deferred income
taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset
12
Table of Contents
VANDA PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
and liability method, current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income taxes expected
to be payable or refundable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is
recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits
and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period such
changes are enacted. Changes in ownership may limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards
that can be utilized in the future to offset taxable income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which eliminates the option
to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in
stockholders equity. It requires an entity to present total comprehensive income, which includes
the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single
continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This pronouncement is effective
for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods within the first annual period
beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company believes the adoption of this pronouncement will
not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the revenue recognition
of multiple element arrangements. The new guidance states that if vendor-specific objective
evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, companies
will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and
allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The accounting guidance
will be applied prospectively and became effective during the first quarter of 2011. The Company
adopted this guidance beginning January 1, 2011, with no material impact to its financial
statements.
3. Earnings per Share
Net income is calculated in accordance with FASB guidance on earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding, reduced by the weighted average unvested shares of common stock
subject to repurchase. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of other potential common stock outstanding for the period. Other potential
common stock includes stock options and RSUs, but only to the extent that their inclusion is
dilutive.
The following schedule presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per
share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

On May 6, 2009, the Company announced that the FDA had approved the NDA for Fanapt®. As a
result of the FDAs approval of the NDA for Fanapt®, the Company met a milestone under its original
sublicense agreement with Novartis which required the Company to make a payment of $12.0 million to
Novartis. The $12.0 million is being amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining life of
the U.S. patent for Fanapt®, which the Company expects to last until May 15, 2017. This includes
the Hatch-Waxman extension that provides patent protection for drug compounds for a period of up to
five years to compensate for time spent in development and a six-month pediatric term extension.
This term is the Companys best estimate of the life of the patent; if, however, the Hatch-Waxman
or pediatric extensions are not granted, the intangible asset will be amortized over a shorter
period.
Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic life using the straight
line method. Amortization expense was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Vanda entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement with Novartis on October 12,
2009, pursuant to which Novartis has the right to commercialize and develop Fanapt® in the U.S. and
Canada. Under the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Vanda received an upfront payment of
$200.0 million in December of 2009. Revenue will be recognized ratably from the date the amended
and restated sublicense agreement became effective (November 27, 2009) through the expected life of
the U.S. patent for Fanapt® (May 15, 2017). This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that provides
patent protection for drug compounds for a period of up to five years to compensate for time spent
in development and a six-month pediatric term extension. This term is the Companys best estimate
of the life of the patent. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $13.3
million of revenue for the licensing agreement. Vanda recognized royalty revenue of $1.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Royalty revenue is based on a percentage of the quarterly
net sales of Fanapt® sold in the U.S. and Canada by Novartis and is recorded when reliably
measurable and earned.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating leases
The Company has commitments totaling $3.9 million under an operating real estate lease for its
headquarters located in Rockville, Maryland, which expires in 2016.
Please refer to note 13 (Subsequent Event) for a description of the Companys lease agreement with square 54 office owner LLC, which was entered into on July 25, 2011.
Guarantees and indemnifications
The Company has entered into a number of standard intellectual property indemnification
agreements in the ordinary course of its business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company
indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or
incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Companys business partners or customers, in
connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim
by any third party with respect to the Companys products. The term of these indemnification
agreements is generally perpetual from the date of execution of the agreement. The maximum
potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these
indemnification agreements is unlimited. Since inception, the Company has not incurred costs to
defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. The Company believes
that the fair value of the indemnification agreements is minimal, and accordingly the Company has
not recognized any liabilities relating to these agreements as of June 30, 2011.
License agreements
The Companys rights to develop and commercialize its products are subject to the terms and
conditions of licenses granted to the Company by other pharmaceutical companies.
Fanapt®. The Company acquired exclusive worldwide rights to patents and patent
applications for Fanapt® (iloperidone), in 2004 through a sublicense agreement with
Novartis. A predecessor company of sanofi-aventis, Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc. (HMRI), discovered
Fanapt® and completed early clinical work on the compound. In 1996, following a review of its
product portfolio, HMRI licensed its rights to the Fanapt® patents and patent applications to Titan
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Titan) on an exclusive basis. In 1997, soon after it had acquired its
rights, Titan sublicensed its rights to Fanapt® on an exclusive basis to Novartis. In June 2004,
the Company acquired exclusive worldwide rights to these patents and patent applications as well as
certain Novartis patents and patent applications to develop and commercialize Fanapt® through a
sublicense agreement with Novartis. In partial consideration for this sublicense, the Company paid
Novartis an initial license fee of $0.5 million and was obligated to make future milestone payments
to Novartis of less than $100.0 million in the aggregate (the majority of which were tied to sales
milestones), as well as royalty payments to Novartis at a rate which, as a percentage of net sales,
was in the mid-twenties. In November 2007, the Company met a milestone under this sublicense
agreement relating to the acceptance of its filing of the NDA for Fanapt® for the treatment of
schizophrenia and made a corresponding payment of $5.0 million to Novartis. As a result
of the FDAs approval of the NDA for Fanapt® in May 2009, the Company met an additional milestone
under this sublicense agreement which required the Company to make a payment of $12.0 million to
Novartis.

On October 12, 2009, Vanda entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement with
Novartis which amended and restated the June 2004 sublicense agreement with Novartis. Pursuant to
the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Novartis has exclusive commercialization rights to
all formulations of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Novartis began selling Fanapt® in the U.S.
during the first quarter of 2010. Novartis is responsible for the further clinical development
activities in the U.S. and Canada, including the development of a long-acting injectable (or depot)
formulation of Fanapt®. Pursuant to the amended and
restated sublicense agreement, Vanda received an upfront payment of $200.0 million and Vanda
is eligible for additional payments totaling up to $265.0 million upon the achievement of certain
commercial and development milestones for Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Vanda also receives
royalties, which, as a percentage of net sales, are in the low double-digits, on net sales of
Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, Vanda is no longer required to make any future
milestone payments with respect to sales of Fanapt® or any future royalty payments with respect to
sales of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Vanda retains exclusive rights to Fanapt® outside the
U.S. and Canada and Vanda has exclusive rights to use any of Novartis data for Fanapt® for
developing and commercializing Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada. At Novartis option, Vanda will
enter into good faith discussions with Novartis relating to the co-commercialization of Fanapt®
outside of the U.S. and Canada or, alternatively, Novartis will receive a royalty on net sales of
Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada. Novartis has chosen not to co-commercialize Fanapt with
Vanda in Europe and will instead receive a royalty on net sales in those countries. This includes
the countries in the European Union as well as Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland.
Vanda has entered into agreements with the following partners for the commercialization of Fanapt®
in the countries set forth below:
Country | Partner | |
Mexico | Probiomed S.A. de C.V. | |
Argentina | Biotoscana Farma S.A. |
Vanda may lose its rights to develop and commercialize Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada if
it fails to comply with certain requirements in the amended and restated sublicense agreement
regarding its financial condition, or if Vanda fails to comply with certain diligence obligations
regarding its development or commercialization activities or if Vanda otherwise breaches the
amended and restated sublicense agreement and fails to cure such breach. Vandas rights to develop
and commercialize Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada may be impaired if it does not cure breaches
by Novartis of similar obligations contained its sublicense agreement with Titan for Fanapt®.
Vanda is not aware of any such breach by Novartis. In addition, if Novartis breaches the amended
and restated sublicense agreement with respect to its commercialization activities in the U.S. or
Canada, Vanda may terminate Novartis commercialization rights in the applicable country and Vanda
would no longer receive royalty payments from Novartis in connection with such country in the event
of such termination.
Tasimelteon. In February 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) under which the Company received an exclusive worldwide license under
certain patents and patent applications, and other licenses to intellectual property, to develop
and commercialize tasimelteon. In partial consideration for the license, the Company paid BMS an
initial license fee of $0.5 million. The Company is also obligated to make future milestone
payments to BMS of less than $40.0 million in the aggregate (the majority of which are tied to
sales milestones) as well as royalty payments based on the net sales of tasimelteon at a rate
which, as a percentage of net sales, is in the low teens. The Company made a milestone payment to
BMS of $1.0 million under this license agreement in 2006 relating to the initiation of its first
Phase III clinical trial for tasimelteon. The Company is also obligated under this agreement to
pay BMS a percentage of any sublicense fees, upfront payments and milestone and other payments
(excluding royalties) that the Company receives from a third party in connection with any
sublicensing arrangement, at a rate which is in the mid-twenties. The Company has agreed with BMS
in the license agreement for tasimelteon to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and
commercialize tasimelteon and to meet certain milestones in initiating and completing certain
clinical work. The license agreement with BMS was amended on April 15, 2010 to, among other
things, extend the deadline by which the Company must enter into a development and
commercialization agreement with a third party for tasimelteon until the earliest of: (i) the date
mutually agreed upon by the Company and BMS following the provision by the Company to BMS of a full
written report of the Phase III clinical studies on which the Company intends to rely for filing
for marketing authorization for tasimelteon in its first major market country (Phase III report);
(ii) the date of the acceptance by a regulatory authority of the filing by the Company for
marketing authorization for tasimelteon in a major market country following the provision by the
Company to BMS of the Phase III report; or (iii) May 31, 2013.
If the Company has not entered into such a development and commercialization agreement with
respect to certain major market countries by the foregoing deadline, then BMS will have the option
to exclusively develop and commercialize tasimelteon on its own in those countries not covered by
such an agreement on pre-determined financial terms, including milestone and royalty
17

payments. In addition to the foregoing, pursuant to the April 15, 2010 amendment, Vandas deadline
for filing a NDA for tasimelteon was extended until June 1, 2013.
Either party may terminate the tasimelteon license agreement under certain circumstances,
including a material breach of the agreement by the other. In the event that BMS has not exercised
its option to reacquire the rights to tasimelteon and the Company terminates the license, or if BMS
terminates the license due to the Companys breach, all rights licensed and developed by the
Company under this agreement will revert or otherwise be licensed back to BMS on an exclusive
basis.
Future license payments. No amounts were recorded as liabilities nor were any contractual
obligations relating to the license agreements included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2011, since the amounts, timing and likelihood of these future payments
are unknown and will depend on the successful outcome of future clinical trials, regulatory
filings, favorable FDA regulatory approvals, growth in product sales and other factors.
Research and development and marketing agreements
In the course of its business the Company regularly enters into agreements with clinical
organizations to provide services relating to clinical development and clinical manufacturing
activities under fee service arrangements. The Companys current agreements for clinical services
may be terminated on no more than 60 days notice without incurring additional charges, other than
charges for work completed but not paid for through the effective date of termination and other
costs incurred by the Companys contractors in closing out work in progress as of the effective
date of termination. The Company has transitioned all outstanding manufacturing purchase orders
for the raw material supply of Fanapt® to Novartis.
11. Income Taxes
The Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.05 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and
a tax provision of $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2011, the
Company reflected a net deferred tax asset of $1.8 million associated with the Companys ability to
carryback current taxable losses to recover income taxes paid in 2010. During the six months ended
June 30, 2010, the Company released $1.8 million of valuation allowance due to the possibility of
offsetting the current year tax provision through the carryback of losses generated by the future
reversal of temporary differences. The remaining net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2011 and June
30, 2010 were offset by a valuation allowance since realization of any future benefit from
deductible temporary differences and net operating losses could not be sufficiently assured.
12. Fair Value Measurements
FASB guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used
in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
| Level 1 defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets | ||
| Level 2 defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable | ||
| Level 3 defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions |
Marketable securities classified in Level 1 and 2 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
include available-for-sale marketable securities. The valuation of Level 1 instruments is
determined using a market approach, and is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets
in active markets. The valuation of investments classified in Level 2 also is determined using a
market approach based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or other inputs that
are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 securities
primarily include commercial paper, corporate notes and government agency notes that use as their
basis readily observable market parameters.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair
value on a recurring basis.

13. Subsequent Event
On July 25, 2011, the Company and Square 54 Office Owner LLC (the Landlord) entered into a
lease for Vandas future headquarters, consisting of 21,400 square feet at 2200 Pennsylvania
Avenue, N.W. in Washington, DC (the Lease). Under the Lease, which will have an 11 year term
commencing on April 1, 2012, the Company will pay approximately $1.6 million in annual rent over
the term of the Lease, however rent will be abated for the first 12 months. The Landlord will
provide the Company with an allowance of approximately $1.9 million for construction of the
premises to the Companys specifications. Subject to the prior rights of other tenants in the
building, the Company will have the right to renew the Lease for five years following the
expiration of its original term. The Company will also have the right to sublease or assign all or
a portion of the premises, subject to standard conditions. The Lease may be terminated early by
either the Landlord or the Company upon certain conditions. The Company paid a security deposit of
$0.5 million upon execution of the Lease. The Company will likely incur a termination fee and
other costs in connection with an early termination of its lease for its current headquarters in
Rockville, Maryland.

Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of
products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. We believe that each of our
products and partnered products will address a large market with significant unmet medical needs by
offering advantages over currently available therapies. Our product portfolio includes:
Fanapt® (iloperidone). We have developed Fanapt®, and will continue to develop it outside
the U.S. and Canada, to treat schizophrenia. On October 12, 2009, we entered into an amended and
restated sublicense agreement with Novartis. We had originally entered into a sublicense agreement
with Novartis on June 4, 2004 pursuant to which we obtained certain worldwide exclusive licenses
from Novartis relating to Fanapt®. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement,
Novartis has exclusive commercialization rights to all formulations of Fanapt® in the U.S. and
Canada. On January 11, 2010, Novartis launched Fanapt® in the U.S. Novartis is responsible for
the further clinical development activities in the U.S. and Canada, including the development of a
long-acting injectable (or depot) formulation of Fanapt®. Pursuant to the amended and restated
sublicense agreement, we received an upfront payment of $200.0 million and are eligible for
additional payments totaling up to $265.0 million upon the achievement of certain commercial and
development milestones for Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. We also receive royalties, which, as a
percentage of net sales, are in the low double-digits, on net sales of Fanapt® in the U.S. and
Canada. In addition, we are no longer required to make any future milestone payments with respect
to sales of Fanapt® or any future royalty payments with respect to sales of Fanapt® in the U.S. and
Canada. We retain exclusive rights to Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada and we have exclusive
rights to use any of Novartis data for Fanapt® for developing and commercializing Fanapt® outside
the U.S. and Canada. At Novartis option, we will enter into good faith discussions with Novartis
relating to the co-commercialization of Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada or, alternatively,
Novartis will receive a royalty on net sales of Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada. Novartis
has chosen not to co-commercialize Fanapt with Vanda in Europe and will instead receive a royalty
on net sales in those countries. This includes the countries in the European Union as well as
Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland. We continue to explore the regulatory path and
commercial opportunity for Fanapt® oral formulation outside of the U.S. and Canada. On November 1,
2010, the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australias Department of Health and Ageing, accepted
for evaluation our application for marketing approval of the Fanapt® oral formulation. On July 22,
2011, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) notified Vanda that it had accepted for evaluation the
Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for oral iloperidone tablets. Vanda has entered into
agreements with the following partners for the commercialization of Fanapt® in the countries set
forth below:
Country | Partner | |
Mexico
|
Probiomed S.A. de C.V. | |
Argentina | Biotoscana Farma S.A. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 we incurred $1.0 million in research and development
costs directly attributable to our development of Fanapt®. As a result of the FDAs approval of the
new drug application (NDA) for Fanapt® in May 2009, we met a milestone under the original
sublicense agreement which required us to make a payment of $12.0 million to Novartis. The $12.0
million was capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for
Fanapt®, which we expect to last until May 15, 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that
extends patent protection for drug compounds for a period of up to five years to compensate for
time spent in development and a six-month pediatric term extension.
Tasimelteon. Tasimelteon is an oral compound in development for the treatment of
sleep and mood disorders, including Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders (CRSD). The compound
binds selectively to the brains melatonin receptors, which are thought to govern the bodys
natural sleep/wake cycle. Compounds that bind selectively to these receptors are thought to be
able to help treat sleep disorders, and additionally are believed to offer potential benefits
in mood disorders. We announced positive top-line results from our Phase III trial of
tasimelteon in transient insomnia in November 2006. In June 2008, we announced positive
top-line results from the Phase III trial of tasimelteon in chronic primary insomnia. The
trial was a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled study with 324 patients. The
trial measured time to fall asleep and sleep maintenance, as well as next-day performance. On
January 19, 2010, the FDA granted orphan drug designation status for tasimelteon in a specific
CRSD, Non-24-Hour Sleep/Wake Disorder (N24HSWD) in blind individuals without light perception.
The FDA grants orphan drug designation to drugs that may provide significant therapeutic
advantage over existing treatments and target conditions affecting 200,000 or fewer U.S.
patients per year. Orphan drug designation provides potential financial and regulatory
incentives, including study design assistance, tax credits, waiver of FDA user fees, and up to
seven years of market exclusivity upon marketing approval. On February 23, 2011, the European
Commission (EC) designated tasimelteon as an orphan medicinal product for the same indication.
We initiated two clinical trials to pursue FDA approval of tasimelteon for the treatment of
N24HSWD in blind individuals without light perception in the third quarter of 2010. The first
trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a planned enrollment of
approximately 160 patients with
21
Table of Contents
N24HSWD. The trial has a six month treatment period and
includes measures of both nighttime and daytime sleep, as well as laboratory measures of the
synchronization between the internal body clock and the 24-hour environmental light/dark
cycle. We also initiated a one-year safety study of tasimelteon for the treatment of N24HSWD.
This trial is an open-label safety study with a planned enrollment of approximately 140
patients with N24HSWD. We plan to conduct additional clinical trials
over the next one to two years to support the use of tasimelteon as a circadian regulator
and the submission of a NDA to the FDA and a marketing authorization application to the
European Medicines Agency (EMA). On January 6, 2011, an end-of-Phase II meeting was held with
the FDA to discuss the development plan for tasimelteon in the treatment of N24HSWD. We are
also evaluating tasimelteon in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and plan to initiate a Phase
IIb/III clinical trial of tasimelteon in patients with MDD. The trial is expected to begin
during the second half of 2011 and will investigate the efficacy and safety of tasimelteon
versus placebo in the treatment of MDD. The study is expected to include an 8-week treatment
period and an optional open-label extension. Given the range of potential indications for
tasimelteon, we may pursue one or more partnerships for the development and commercialization
of tasimelteon worldwide. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred $8.8 million in
direct research and development costs directly attributable to our development of tasimelteon.
Since we began our operations in March 2003, we have devoted substantially all of our
resources to the in-licensing and clinical development of our compounds. Our ability to generate
revenue and achieve profitability largely depends on Novartis ability to successfully
commercialize Fanapt® in the U.S. and to successfully develop and commercialize Fanapt® in Canada
and upon our ability, alone or with others, to complete the development of our products or product
candidates, and to obtain the regulatory approvals for and manufacture, market and sell our
products and product candidates. The results of our operations will vary significantly from
year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter and depend on a number of factors, including risks related to
our business, risks related to our industry, and other risks which are detailed in Item 1A of Part
II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, entitled Risk Factors and in Item 1A of Part I of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Revenues
Our revenues are derived primarily from our amended and restated sublicense
agreement with Novartis and include an up-front payment, product sales and future milestone and
royalty payments. Revenue is considered both realizable and earned when each one of the following
four conditions is met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the arrangement fee
is fixed or determinable, (3) delivery or performance has occurred and (4) collectability is
reasonably assured. Revenue from the $200.0 million upfront payment will be recognized ratably on a
straight-line basis from the date the amended and restated sublicense agreement became effective
(November 27, 2009) through the expected life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt®, which we expect to
last until May 15, 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that extends patent protection
for drug compounds for a period of up to five years to compensate for time spent in development and
a six-month pediatric term extension. We recognize revenue from Fanapt® royalties and commercial
and development milestones from Novartis when realizable and earned and product revenue upon
delivery of our products to Novartis.
Research and development expenses
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of fees paid to third-party
professional service providers in connection with the services they provide for our clinical
trials, costs of contract manufacturing services, costs of materials used in clinical trials and
research and development, costs for regulatory consultants and filings, depreciation of capital
resources used to develop our products, all related facilities costs, and salaries, benefits and
stock-based compensation expenses related to our research and development personnel. We expense
research and development costs as incurred for compounds in development stage, including certain
payments made under our license agreements prior to FDA approval. Prior to FDA approval, all
Fanapt® manufacturing-related and milestone costs were included in research
and development expenses. Subsequent to FDA approval of Fanapt®,
manufacturing and milestone costs related to this product are being capitalized. Costs related to
the acquisition of intellectual property have been expensed as incurred since the underlying
technology associated with these acquisitions were made in connection with the Companys research
and development efforts and have no alternative future use. Milestone payments are accrued in
accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for contingencies which states that milestone
payments be accrued when it is deemed probable that the milestone event will be achieved. We
believe that significant investment in product development is a competitive necessity and plan to
continue these investments in order to realize the potential of our products and product candidates
and pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics expertise. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we
incurred research and development expenses in the aggregate of $10.3 million, including stock-based
compensation expenses of $1.3 million. We expect our research and development expenses to increase
as we continue to develop our products and product candidates. We expect to incur licensing costs
in the future that could be substantial, as we continue our efforts to develop our products,
product candidates and partnered products and to evaluate potential in-license product candidates
or compounds.
The following table summarizes our product development initiatives for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010. Included in this table are the research and development expenses recognized
in connection with the clinical development of Fanapt® and tasimelteon.

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs
for personnel, including stock-based compensation, serving executive, finance, accounting,
information technology, marketing and human resource functions. Other costs include facility costs
not otherwise included in research and development expenses and fees for legal, accounting and
other professional services. General and administrative expenses also include third party expenses
incurred to support business development, marketing and other business activities related to
Fanapt®. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred general and
administrative expenses in the aggregate of $5.4 million, including stock-based compensation
expenses of $1.6 million.
Interest income
Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as
the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our annual report on Form
10-K. However, we believe that the following critical accounting policies are important to
understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and we have accordingly included them
in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Accrued expenses
As part of the process of preparing financial statements we are required to estimate accrued
expenses. The estimation of accrued expenses involves identifying services that have been
performed on our behalf, and then estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost
incurred for such services as of each balance sheet date in the financial statements. Accrued
expenses include professional service fees, such as lawyers and accountants, contract service fees,
such as those under contracts with clinical monitors, data management organizations and
investigators in conjunction with clinical trials, fees to contract manufacturers in conjunction
with the production of clinical materials, and fees for marketing and other commercialization
activities. Pursuant to our assessment of the services that have been performed on clinical trials
and other contracts, we recognize
23
Table of Contents
these expenses as the services are provided. Our assessments
include, but are not limited to: (1) an evaluation by the project manager of the work that has been
completed during the period, (2) measurement of progress prepared internally and/or provided by the
third-party service provider, (3) analyses of data that justify the progress and (4) managements
judgment. In the event that we do not identify certain costs that have begun to be incurred or we
under- or over-estimate the level of services performed or the costs of such services, our reported
expenses for such period would be too low or too high.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues are derived primarily from our amended and restated sublicense agreement with
Novartis and include an up-front payment, product revenue and future milestone and royalty
revenues. Revenue will be recognized ratably from the date the amended and restated sublicense
agreement became effective (November 27, 2009) through the expected life of the U.S. patent for
Fanapt®, which we expect to last until May 15, 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that
extends patent protection for drug compounds for a period of up to five years to compensate for
time spent in development and a six-month pediatric term extension. We recognize revenue related to
Fanapt® royalties and commercial and development milestones as they are realizable and earned, and
product revenue upon delivery of our products to Novartis.
Stock-based compensation
We currently use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of
stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an
option pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of
complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected stock price volatility over
the expected term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors,
risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility rates are based on our
historical volatility of our publicly traded common stock blended with the historical volatility of
the common stock of comparable entities. The expected term of options granted is based on the
transition approach provided by FASB guidance as the options meet the plain vanilla criteria
required by this method. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a
period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. We have
not paid cash dividends to our stockholders since our inception and do not plan to pay dividends in
the foreseeable future. The stock-based compensation expense for a period is also affected by
expected forfeiture rate for the respective option grants. If our estimates of the fair value of
these equity instruments or expected forfeitures are too high or too low, it would have the effect
of overstating or understating expenses.
Total employee stock-based compensation expense related to all of our stock-based awards
during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was comprised of the following:

Income taxes
On a periodic basis, we evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities
and will adjust such amounts in light of changing facts and circumstances, including but not
limited to future projections of taxable income, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax
legislation, rulings by relevant tax authorities and tax planning strategies. Settlement of filing
positions that may be challenged by tax authorities could impact our income taxes in the year of
resolution.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during
the period in which those temporary differences becomes deductible or the NOLs and credit
carryforwards can be utilized. When considering the reversal of the valuation allowance, we
consider the level of past and future taxable income, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the
utilization of the carryforwards and other factors. Revisions to the estimated net realizable value
of the deferred tax asset could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from
period to period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which eliminates the option
to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in
stockholders equity. It requires an entity to present total comprehensive income, which includes
the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single
continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This pronouncement is effective
for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods within the first annual period
beginning after December 15, 2011. We believe the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a
material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the revenue recognition
of multiple element arrangements. The new guidance states that if vendor-specific objective
evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an
arrangement cannot be determined, companies will be required to develop a best estimate of the
selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative
selling price method. The accounting guidance will be applied prospectively and became effective
during the first quarter of 2011. We adopted this guidance beginning January 1, 2011, with no
material impact to our financial statements.
Results of Operations
We have a limited history of operations. We anticipate that our results of operations will
fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, including any possible payments made
or received pursuant to licensing or collaboration agreements, progress of our research and
development efforts, the timing and outcome of clinical trials and related possible regulatory
approvals and our and our partners ability to successfully commercialize our products, product
candidates and partnered products. Our limited operating history makes predictions of future
operations difficult or impossible. Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses. As
of June 30, 2011, we had a deficit accumulated of $254.8 million.
Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to three months ended June 30, 2010
Revenues. Revenues were $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to
revenues of $8.3 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues for the three months ended June
30, 2011 included $6.7 million recognized from Novartis related to straight-line recognition of
up-front license fees and $0.8 million in royalty revenue based on second quarter 2011 sales of
Fanapt®. Novartis launched Fanapt® commercially in the U.S. in January 2010.
Intangible asset amortization. Intangible asset amortization was $0.4 million for both the
three months ended June 30, 2011 and the three months ended June 30, 2010. Intangible amortization
relates to the capitalized intangible asset related to the $12.0 million payment to Novartis in May
2009.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $3.6
million, or 149.6%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $2.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest income. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.3 million
compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011, our total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $188.4
million compared to $198.0 million at December 31, 2010. Our cash and cash equivalents
are deposits in operating accounts and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90
days or less at date of purchase and consist of time deposits, investments in money market funds
with commercial banks and financial institutions, and commercial paper of high-quality corporate
issuers. Our marketable securities consist of investments in government sponsored enterprises and
commercial paper. As of June 30, 2011, we also held a non-current deposit of $0.4 million that is
used to collateralize a letter of credit issued for our current office lease in Rockville, Maryland
which expires in 2016 and $0.1 million related to a letter of credit issued for the Maryland Board
of Pharmacy.
As of June 30, 2011, we maintained all of our cash and cash equivalents in three financial
institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on
such deposits, but we do not anticipate any losses with respect to such deposits.
We entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement in 2009 with Novartis to
commercialize Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Novartis is responsible for the further clinical
development activities in the U.S. and Canada, including the development of a long-acting
injectable (or depot) formulation of Fanapt®. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense
agreement, we received an upfront payment of $200.0 million, and are eligible for additional
payments totaling up to $265.0 million upon the achievement of certain commercial and development
milestones for Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. We will recognize the $200.0 million upfront
payment ratably from the date the amended and restated sublicense agreement became effective
(November 27, 2009) through the expected life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt®, which we expect to
last until May 15, 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that provides patent protection
for drug compounds for a period of up to five years to compensate for time spent in development and
a six-month pediatric term extension. We also receive royalties, which, as a percentage of net
sales, are in the low double digits, on net sales of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. During the
six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $13.3 million in licensing revenue. Since the launch
of Fanapt®, we have recognized product revenue of $5.3 million from product sold to Novartis and
$4.8 million in royalty revenue. We recognize product revenue on the sale of the existing Fanapt®
product to Novartis upon delivery to Novartis and royalty revenue when realizable and earned.
Other than
27
Table of Contents
participation in the Joint Steering Committee established following the effective date
of the amended and restated sublicense agreement with Novartis, we have no control over the
progress of Novartis commercial plans. We cannot forecast with any degree of certainty the
achievement of milestones and royalties under this agreement.
We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses relating to our research and development
efforts, as we focus on clinical trials and manufacturing required for the development of our
active product candidates. We initiated two clinical trials to pursue FDA approval of tasimelteon
for the treatment of N24HSWD in blind individuals without light perception beginning in the third
quarter of 2010. The first trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a
planned enrollment of approximately 160 patients with N24HSWD. The trial has a six month treatment
period and includes measures of both nighttime and daytime sleep, as well as laboratory measures of
the synchronization between the internal body clock and the 24-hour environmental light/dark cycle.
The second trial is a one-year safety study of tasimelteon for the treatment of N24HSWD. This trial
is an open-label safety study with a planned enrollment of approximately 140 patients with N24HSWD.
The duration and cost of clinical trials
are a function of numerous factors such as the number of patients to be enrolled in the trial,
the amount of time it takes to enroll them, the length of time they must be treated and observed,
and the number of clinical sites and countries for the trial. In addition, orphan clinical trials
create an additional challenge due to the limited number of available patients afflicted with the
disease. We are also evaluating tasimelteon in MDD and plan to initiate a Phase IIb/III clinical
trial of tasimelteon in patients with MDD. The trial is expected to begin during the second half
of 2011 and will investigate the efficacy and safety of tasimelteon versus placebo in the treatment
of MDD. The study is expected to include an 8-week treatment period and an optional open-label
extension. We plan to assess the antidepressant and circadian effects of tasimelteon, as well as
further characterize the safety profile of the compound.
We must receive regulatory approval to launch any of our products commercially. In order to
receive such approval, the appropriate regulatory agency must conclude that our clinical data
establish safety and efficacy and that our products and the manufacturing facilities meet all
applicable regulatory requirements. We cannot be certain that we will establish sufficient safety
and efficacy data to receive regulatory approval for any of our drugs or that our drugs and the
manufacturing facilities will meet all applicable regulatory requirements.
Because of the uncertainties discussed above, the costs to advance our research and
development projects are difficult to estimate and may vary significantly. We expect that our
existing funds, primarily consisting of the upfront payment received under the Novartis contract
and investment income will be sufficient to fund our planned operations. Our future capital
requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, primarily
including the scope and costs of our clinical development programs, the scope and costs of our
manufacturing and process development activities, the magnitude of our discovery and preclinical
development programs and the level of our pre-commercial launch activities. There can be no
assurance that any additional financing required in the future will be available on acceptable
terms, if at all.
Cash Flow
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Net cash used in operations was $8.9 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010. The increase is a result of
additional research and development expenses for tasimelteon. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash used in
operating activities included non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $1.5 million
and stock-based compensation of $2.9 million, increases in prepaid expenses and other assets and
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.3 million, decreases in accrued
income taxes and other liabilities of $0.1 million, and decreases in deferred revenue of $13.3
million. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was
$16.7 million and consisted of net maturities of marketable securities of $17.0 million, purchases
of property and equipment of $0.2 million and an increase in restricted cash of $0.1 million.

On July 25, 2011, the Company and Square 54 Office Owner LLC (the Landlord) entered into a
lease for Vandas future headquarters, consisting of 21,400 square feet at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
in Washington, DC (the Lease). Under the Lease, which will have an 11 year term commencing on April 1,
2012, the Company will pay approximately $1.6 million in annual rent over the term of the Lease, however
rent will be abated for the first 12 months. The Landlord will provide the Company with an allowance of
approximately $1.9 million for construction of the premises to the
Companys specifications. Subject to
the prior rights of other tenants in the building, the Company will have the right to renew the Lease for five
years following the expiration of its original term. The Company will also have the right to sublease or
assign all or a portion of the premises, subject to standard conditions. The Lease may be terminated early
by either the Landlord or the Company upon certain conditions. The Company paid a security deposit of
$0.5 million upon execution of the Lease. The Company will likely incur a termination fee and other costs
in connection with an early termination of its lease for its current headquarters in Rockville, Maryland.
Clinical research organization contracts and other contracts
Other contracts. We have entered into agreements for tasimelteon with clinical supply
manufacturing organizations and other outside contractors who will be responsible for additional
services supporting our ongoing clinical development processes. These contractual obligations are
not reflected in the table above because we may terminate them on no more than 60 days notice
without incurring additional charges (other than charges for work completed but not paid for
through the effective date of termination and other costs incurred by our contractors in closing
out work in progress as of the effective date of termination).
License agreements. In February 2004 and June 2004, we entered into separate licensing
agreements with BMS and Novartis, respectively, for the exclusive rights to develop and
commercialize tasimelteon and Fanapt®. On October 12, 2009, we entered into an amended and
restated sublicense agreement with Novartis. We are obligated to make (in the case of tasimelteon
and, in the case of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada, are entitled to receive certain royalties)
payments under the conditions in the agreements upon the achievement of specified clinical,
regulatory and commercial milestones. If the products are successfully commercialized we will be
required to pay certain royalties (and in the case of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada, will be
entitled to receive) based on net sales for each of the licensed products. See the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included with this report for a more detailed description of
these license agreements.
As a result of the successful commencement of the Phase III clinical study of tasimelteon in
March 2006, we met the first milestone specified in our licensing agreement with BMS and
subsequently paid a license fee of $1.0 million.
As a result of the acceptance by the FDA of the NDA for Fanapt® in October 2007, we met a
milestone under our original sublicense agreement with Novartis and subsequently paid a $5.0
million fee. As a result of the FDAs approval of the NDA for Fanapt® in May 2009, we met an
additional milestone under the original sublicense agreement with Novartis which required us to
make a payment of $12.0 million to Novartis. The $12.0 million was capitalized and will be
amortized over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt®, which we expect to last until May
15, 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that provides patent protection for drug
compounds for a period of up to five years to compensate for time spent in development and a
six-month pediatric term extension. This term is the Companys best estimate of the life of the
patent; if, however, the Hatch-Waxman or pediatric extensions are not granted, the intangible asset
will be amortized over a shorter period. No amounts were recorded as liabilities relating to the
license agreements included in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011, since the
amounts, timing and likelihood of these payments are unknown and will depend on the successful
outcome of future clinical trials, regulatory filings, favorable regulatory approvals, growth in
product sales and other factors.
Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Novartis has exclusive
commercialization rights to all formulations of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Novartis is
responsible for the further clinical development activities in the U.S. and Canada, including the
development of a long-acting injectable (or depot) formulation of Fanapt®. Pursuant to the amended
and
29
Table of Contents
restated sublicense agreement, we received an upfront payment of $200.0 million and are
eligible for additional payments totaling up to $265.0 million upon the achievement of certain
commercial and development milestones for Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. We also receive
royalties, which, as a percentage of net sales, are in the low double-digits, on net sales of
Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, we are no longer required to make any future milestone
payments with respect to sales of Fanapt® or any royalty payments with respect to sales of Fanapt®
in the U.S. and Canada. We retain exclusive rights to Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada and have
exclusive rights to use any of Novartis data for Fanapt® for developing and commercializing
Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada. At Novartis option, we will enter into good faith discussions
with Novartis relating to the co-commercialization of Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada or,
alternatively, Novartis will receive a royalty on net sales of Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and
Canada. Novartis has chosen not to co-commercialize Fanapt with Vanda in Europe and will instead
receive a royalty on net sales in those countries. This includes the countries in the European
Union as well as Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland. Vanda has entered into
agreements with the following partners for the commercialization of Fanapt® in the countries set
forth below:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Interest Rates
Our exposure to market risk is currently confined to our cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities and restricted cash. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. We have not used
derivative financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes. Because of the short-term
maturities of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, we do not believe that an
increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our
investments.
Marketable securities
We deposit our cash with financial institutions that we consider to be of high credit quality
and purchase marketable securities which are generally investment grade, liquid, short-term fixed
income securities and money-market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2011. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of
June 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
