TABLE OF CONTENTS
i
PART I
General
CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries is a specialty
pharmaceutical company currently focused on developing and
marketing innovative proprietary medical therapies to the dental
and dermatology markets. We currently market four pharmaceutical
products to the dental market through our professional dental
sales force, and we market one prescription product to the
dermatology market through our professional dermatology sales
force.
Our first product, Periostat®, is an orally administered,
prescription pharmaceutical product that was approved by the
United States Food and Drug Administration (the FDA)
in September 1998 and is the first and only dental
pharmaceutical to treat adult periodontitis. Periostat works by
inhibiting the enzymes that destroy periodontal support tissues
and by enhancing bone protein synthesis. Periostat is indicated
as an adjunct to scaling and root planing, or SRP, the most
prevalent therapy for adult periodontitis, to reduce pocket
depth and to promote attachment level gain in patients with
adult periodontitis. Adult periodontitis, a chronic disease
characterized by the progressive loss of attachment between the
tooth root and the surrounding periodontal structures, can cause
tooth loss if untreated.
Pursuant to an exclusive License and Marketing Agreement with
Atrix Laboratories, Inc. (Atrix, the predecessor to
QLT USA, Inc., who purchased the assets of Atrix in November
2004), we began, in October 2001, to actively market
Atrixs proprietary dental products, Atridox® and
Atrisorb FreeFlow®, and, in February 2002,
Atrisorb-D®, to the United States dental market. In May
2002, we executed a sublicense agreement with Altana Inc. to
market and distribute Pandel®, a prescription mid-potency
topical corticosteroid product developed by Altana Inc. to
dermatologists in the United States and Puerto Rico.
We distribute Periostat and Pandel primarily through drug
wholesalers in the United States. The Atrix dental products are
distributed through a specialty distributor who sells these
products directly to dental practitioners in the United States
and Puerto Rico.
We also sell a separately branded form of Periostat to United
Research Laboratories/ Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc.
(Mutual) pursuant to a License and Supply Agreement
we executed with Mutual in April 2004. This Agreement formed
part of a settlement of outstanding litigation with Mutual
relating to our patents for Periostat. In the settlement Mutual
agreed and confessed to judgment that our Periostat patents are
valid and infringed by Mutuals Abbreviated New Drug
Application (ANDA) for a generic form of Periostat.
The License and Supply Agreement provides for us to sell a
separately branded version of Periostat to Mutual at prices
below our average sales price for Periostat.
Prior to the sale of our U.K. and European dental assets in
November 2004 to Alliance Pharma plc (Alliance), a
U.K. specialty pharmaceuticals company, Periostat was also sold
through wholesalers and directly to dentists in the United
Kingdom through our wholly-owned subsidiary, CollaGenex
International, Ltd., and by distributors and licensees in
certain other overseas markets.
On April 22, 2004, we announced the restructuring of our
pharmaceutical sales organization into dedicated dental and
dermatology sales forces. The restructuring was intended to
increase our sales focus on high-prescribing dentists and
dermatologists while reducing our cost base. Prior to the
reorganization, virtually all of our 115-person pharmaceutical
sales force called on both dentists and dermatologists to market
our portfolio of dental and dermatology products. After the
restructuring, we have a 56-person dental sales force calling on
10,000 high prescribing dentists and a 33-person dermatology
sales force calling on the 5,600 dermatologists who comprise our
target market.
In addition to our marketed products, we have a pipeline of
products in clinical and pre-clinical development. These
products are based on our two proprietary platform technologies,
IMPACstm
and
Restoradermtm.
The IMPACs (Inhibitors of Multiple Proteases and Cytokines)
platform includes a series of novel, proprietary
tetracycline-based compounds discovered during the development
of Periostat. Research
has shown that certain unique properties of these tetracylines
may be applicable to other diseases involving inflammation
and/or destruction of the bodys connective tissues,
including acne, rosacea (a dermatological condition sometimes
referred to as acne rosacea), ocular rosacea, acute lung injury
and cancer metastasis, among others. We are further evaluating
various compounds to assess whether they are safe and effective
in these applications.
Periostat is our first FDA-approved IMPACs product.
Periostat-MRtm
is a once-a-day, modified-release formulation of Periostat
currently in a Phase III clinical trial for the treatment
of adult periodontitis.
Oraceatm,
which has the same active ingredient and modified-release
formulation as Periostat-MR, is in two Phase III clinical
trials for the treatment of rosacea. Col-3, a second generation
IMPACs compound, has completed Phase II trials for the
treatment of HIV-related Kaposis sarcoma and is currently
in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of rosacea.
Our core IMPACs technology is licensed on a perpetual basis from
the Research Foundation of the State University of New York at
Stony Brook, or SUNY. SUNY also conducts research and
development on other potential applications of this technology
on a project basis.
Our Restoraderm technology is a proprietary, foam-based, topical
drug delivery technology that originated from a Swedish
collaborator. We have acquired all right, title and interest to
the Restoraderm technology and are committed to initiate the
development of five products based on this technology before the
end of 2005. We are currently developing Restoraderm products
for the treatment of acne and psoriasis.
During 2004, we continued to implement our plans to expand into
the dermatology market. We completed and announced the
preliminary results of a double-blinded, placebo-controlled
134-patient Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the safety
and efficacy of Periostat to treat rosacea. We also completed
enrollment of two double-blinded, placebo-controlled
Phase III clinical studies to evaluate the use of Oracea to
treat rosacea. As noted above, we purchased the Restoraderm
topical drug delivery technology and in addition, we continue to
actively seek product licensing opportunities to enhance our
near-term offerings to the dermatology market.
During 2004, we also filled key spots on our management team
with the addition of Dr. Klaus Theobald as Senior Vice
President and Chief Medical Officer, Greg Ford as Vice President
of Business Development and Strategic Planning and Andrew Powell
as Vice President and General Counsel.
We are a Delaware corporation. We were incorporated and began
operations in 1992 under the name CollaGenex, Inc. and changed
our name to CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in April 1996. Our
principal executive offices are located at 41 University Drive,
Suite 200, Newtown, Pennsylvania 18940, and our telephone

Adult periodontitis is a chronic disease characterized by the
progressive loss of attachment between the periodontal ligament
and the surrounding alveolar bone, as well as breakdown of the
alveolar bone itself, ultimately resulting in tooth loss.
According to industry data, an estimated one-third of all adults
in the United States, or approximately 67 million people,
suffer from some form of periodontal disease. Approximately
13 million people seek professional treatment annually for
periodontal disease, resulting in over 15 million
periodontal procedures and annual expenditures of approximately
$6.0 billion, primarily for procedures and surgeries
performed by a periodontist or a dental professional.
The most prevalent therapy for adult periodontitis is SRP, a
mechanical procedure that removes bacteria deposits called
plaque from tooth and root surfaces above and below the gum
line. Periostat is the first orally administered, systemically
delivered pharmaceutical indicated as an adjunct to SRP to
promote attachment level gain and to reduce pocket depth in
patients with adult periodontitis. The Proceedings of the
American Academy of Periodontology 2003 Workshop on Contemporary
Sciences in Clinical Periodontics, published January 22,
2004, set out a detailed report and summary by leading United
States academic and clinical
3
periodontology experts who concluded that the peer-reviewed
scientific evidence strongly supports the use of Periostat as an
adjunct to conventional therapy, such as SRP, in the management
of chronic periodontitis.
Periostat, a 20 mg dose of doxycycline hyclate, is a unique
sub-anti-microbial dosage strength that suppresses the chronic
and progressive tissue degradation characteristic of
periodontitis, without exerting any anti-microbial effect.
Doxycycline is an active ingredient of several FDA approved
drugs and has been in use, at higher dosages, for approximately
35 years. At such higher doses, it is indicated for the
treatment of microbial infections and, along with other
tetracyclines, has a well established safety record. Periostat
is intended to be taken orally by the patient between dental
visits. Periostats primary mechanisms of action are
believed to be through the down-regulation of the activity of
collagenases, which belong to a broad class of enzymes known as
matrix metalloproteinases. Collagenase is excessively produced
as a result of the inflammation caused by bacterial infection in
the gums. In addition to, and independent of regulating
collagenases activity, doxycycline has also been shown to
enhance bone protein synthesis, thereby helping to restore the
damage caused by periodontitis.
In September 1998, the FDA granted United States marketing
approval for Periostat as an adjunct to SRP to promote
attachment level gain and reduce pocket depth in patients with
adult periodontitis. Periostat was made available for
prescription use in November 1998 and was fully launched
commercially in January 1999. Since January 1999, nearly
4.0 million prescriptions for Periostat and Mutuals
branded version of Periostat have been filled and over
40,000 dentists have written a prescription for either
Periostat or Mutuals branded version of Periostat.
Periostat tablets are manufactured for us by Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing Research Services, Inc., a contract manufacturing
company.
We currently actively sell Periostat in the United States and
Puerto Rico and our partner, Pharmascience Inc., has launched
sales of Periostat in Canada.
In April 2004, as part of a settlement of all outstanding
litigation with Mutual relating to our patents for Periostat, we
entered into a License and Supply Agreement with Mutual. The
License and Supply Agreement provides for us to sell a
separately branded version of Periostat to Mutual at prices
below our average wholesale acquisition cost for Periostat. The
Agreement runs through May 15, 2007, unless terminated
earlier.
Prior to September 2004, we sold Periostat to wholesalers and
directly to dentists in the United Kingdom, and our European
partners marketed and distributed Periostat in Israel, Portugal,
Austria and Switzerland. In November 2004, we sold all of our
U.K. and European dental assets to Alliance, a U.K. specialty
pharmaceuticals company, for gross proceeds of
$3.3 million. These assets consisted primarily of certain
trademark rights, marketing authorizations, customer lists and
other intangible assets. Pursuant to a Supply Agreement we
executed on November 3, 2004 with Alliance, we supply
Periostat in bulk tablet form to Alliance at a negotiated fair
value transfer price for sales in the U.K., Europe and Israel.

Atridox, Atrisorb FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D |
Pursuant to the terms of an exclusive License and Marketing
Agreement that we executed with Atrix Laboratories, Inc. in
August 2001 (now known as QLT USA, Inc.), we obtained the right
to market, sell and distribute Atrixs proprietary dental
products, Atridox, Atrisorb FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D to the
United States dental community. We believe that these products
generally complement Periostat in the treatment of adult
periodontitis.
Atridox is a locally-applied, anti-microbial therapy for the
treatment of chronic adult periodontitis. Atridox uses
Atrixs patented drug delivery technology, Atrigel®,
for the targeted delivery of doxycycline, which, in sufficient
concentrations, has been shown to reduce the levels of bacteria
in the periodontal pocket. Atridox is a gel that is placed into
affected periodontal pockets by a dental professional and
resorbs over a two week period. In pivotal double-blinded,
placebo-controlled clinical trials conducted by Atrix, the
administration of Atridox was shown to increase attachment level
between the gums and the teeth and decrease periodontal pocket
depth in patients with adult periodontitis.
Atrisorb FreeFlow is a guided tissue regeneration, or GTR,
barrier product used in the surgical treatment of periodontal
defects to help regenerate tissue. In periodontal surgery, a
section of the gums called a flap is
4
cut away from the underlying bone structure to allow the
periodontist to repair the periodontal support structure. When
the flap is subsequently repositioned, a membrane barrier
product such as Atrisorb FreeFlow is placed between the flap and
the bone to prevent the downgrowth of epithelial tissues, which
interferes with the re-attachment of the gums to the teeth.
Atrisorb-D is the first GTR barrier product to incorporate an
antibiotic, which has been shown to reduce the incidence of
infections during GTR procedures.
Under the terms of our License and Marketing Agreement with
Atrix, we are required to make certain annual minimum
expenditures for advertising and promotional activities over the
term of the agreement beginning January 1, 2003, including:
(i) the lesser of $4.0 million or 30% of our
contribution margin, as defined in the agreement, relating to a
specific Atrix product that we market, and (ii) the lesser
of $2.0 million or 30% of our contribution margin, as
defined in the agreement, relating to a separate Atrix product
that we market. These annual requirements were met by us in
2004. In 2003, we and Atrix agreed to share funding for training
and maintaining a corps of dental hygienists who would serve as
part-time, professional sales associates in the dental market,
with a specific focus on the Atrix products. This 2003
arrangement terminated on December 31, 2004.
The License and Marketing Agreement terminates incrementally
with respect to each Atrix product, upon each successive
expiration date of the patent protection afforded to such
product. We may terminate the License and Marketing Agreement at
any time, with or without cause, upon twelve (12) months
prior written notice to Atrix. Furthermore, either party may
terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain
conditions, as more fully set forth in the License and Marketing
Agreement.
In May 2002, we executed a Sublicense Agreement with Altana
Inc., the United States subsidiary of Altana Pharma AG, pursuant
to which we were granted the exclusive right to create
improvements to, market, advertise, promote, distribute, offer
for sale and sell, in the United States and Puerto Rico, Pandel
Cream, a mid-potency topical corticosteroid that is indicated
for the relief of mild-to-moderate inflammatory disorders of the
skin in adults, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Prior
to May 2002, we had detailed Pandel on a co-promotional basis
with Altana since October 2001. Altana currently licenses the
rights to Pandel from Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a company
organized and existing under the laws of Japan. Pursuant to the
terms of our sublicense, we agreed to pay Altana an aggregate
sublicense fee of $1.7 million. We purchase from Altana all
Pandel products to be sold and promotional samples, and are
required to pay Altana a royalty fee equal to a percentage of
the net sales of Pandel.

Our Previously Marketed Products |
Pursuant to a Co-Promotion Agreement we executed with
Merck & Co., Inc. in September 1999, we received the
exclusive right to co-promote Vioxx®, a prescription
strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, to the dental
community. The agreement provided for certain payments by Merck
to us upon sales of Vioxx. In September 2002, we executed an
amendment, extension and restatement of the Co-Promotion
Agreement which provided that the agreement would expire on
December 31, 2003. We will continue to earn nominal
residual contract revenues through December 2005 from this
agreement. The Co-Promotion Agreement provides for
indemnification of us by Merck against any claims arising from
manufacturing or design defects in the Vioxx product or for
which we, as the promoter of the product, may be strictly liable
as if we were a seller of an inherently dangerous product.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded
$237,000 in residual contract revenues under this agreement.
In March 2003, we executed co-promotion agreements with Sirius
Laboratories, Inc. pursuant to which we jointly marketed Sirius
Laboratories
AVARtm
product line and Pandel to dermatologists in the United
5
States. These agreements were mutually terminated on
December 31, 2003. We did not receive any revenue during
the year ended December 31, 2004 and do not expect to
receive any future contract revenues from Sirius
Laboratories AVAR.
In October 2002, we entered into a Product Detailing Agreement
with Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. pursuant to which we
co-promoted Denavir® to target dentists in the United
States and received detailing fees and performance incentives
from Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. The agreement with Novartis
to co-promote Denavir expired on September 30, 2003,
and we and Novartis decided not to renew the arrangement with
respect to Denavir. We did not receive any revenue during the
year ended December 31, 2004 and do not expect to receive
any future contract revenues from Novartis with respect to
Denavir.
Sales and Marketing
In an effort to increase our sales focus on high-prescribing
dentists and dermatologists while reducing our cost base, in
2004 we restructured our pharmaceutical sales organization into
dedicated dental and dermatology sales forces. Prior to the
reorganization, each representative was responsible for covering
a territory that included approximately 100 dentists and
periodontists believed to be potential high volume prescribers
of Periostat and was also expected to call on approximately 50
dermatology offices with a high potential for prescribing
Pandel. After the restructuring, we have a 56-person dental
sales force calling on a highly targeted group of 10,000 high
prescribing dentists and a 33-person dermatology sales force
calling on the 5,600 dermatologists who comprise our target
market.
We believe that our sales effort is distinguished from typical
dental and dermatology promotion by our focus on education. We
produce educational marketing materials, detail aids and product
samples that are used extensively by our representatives in
their presentations to dentists and in promoting Pandel to
dermatologists. Reprints of peer reviewed research and journal
articles that relate to our technologies are also provided, as
well as video presentations. We believe that peer-to-peer
communications are vital to increasing the acceptance of
Periostat by dentists and increasing our own understanding of
the dermatology market. Therefore, we arrange speaking
engagements and teleconferences where clinical experts and
practitioners share their experiences with other professionals.
Sales training is an important component of our sales and
marketing efforts. New representatives receive four weeks of
field training and two weeks of intensive office training in
periodontal disease, host response, dermatology, territory
management and selling skills. Training continues at
district-level meetings throughout the year. In a complex
regulatory environment, we also train sales personnel on
compliance with the relevant rules and guidelines of the FDA and
other government agencies.
In December 2000, the United Kingdom Medicines Control Agency
approved a tablet formulation of Periostat, and in June 2001, we
applied for the registration of Periostat tablets with the
European Union Member States and Norway. In 2002 and 2003, we
received approval for the marketing of Periostat in Austria,
Finland, Switzerland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, Portugal and Canada. On November 3, 2004,
CollaGenex International Limited (CIL), our
wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary, sold its U.K. and European dental
assets to Alliance, a U.K. specialty pharmaceuticals company,
for net proceeds of $3.0 million pursuant to a Sale of
Assets Agreement. This agreement provided for the sale by CIL to
Alliance of trademark rights, U.K. and European governmental
marketing authorizations, and distribution agreements and other
intangible assets relating to the sale or potential sale of
Periostat in the U.K., Europe, Israel, South Africa, New Zealand
and Australia. The agreement also granted Alliance an option to
acquire a license to register and market Periostat-MR in the
same territories. We have retained all rights to Periostat-MR
for all other clinical indications. We also entered into a
Supply Agreement with Alliance pursuant to which we will supply
Periostat in bulk tablet form to Alliance at a negotiated fair
value transfer price.
6
We continue to pursue foreign sales of Periostat in Canada under
a licensing agreement entered into with Pharmascience Inc. in
June 1999. In the fourth quarter of 1999, Pharmascience
submitted an application to the Canadian Therapeutic Products
Program of Health Canada for Canadian marketing approval of a
capsule formulation of Periostat which was approved in March
2003. In August 2003, Pharmascience launched Periostat in Canada
and accordingly, we began recognizing royalty income on
Pharmascience net product sales. Future milestones fees will be
due from Pharmascience upon individual provincial formulary
approval.
Our partner in Japan, Showa Yakuhin Kako Co., Ltd. has provided
us notice that it will terminate its License and Supply
Agreement with us in March 2005 without having obtained
regulatory approval for the sale of Periostat in that country.
Manufacturing, Distribution and Suppliers
In 1995, we entered into a supply agreement with Hovione
International Limited pursuant to which the active ingredient in
Periostat, doxycycline hyclate, is supplied to us by Hovione
from its offshore facilities. Hovione supplies a substantial
portion of the doxycycline used in the United States from two
independent facilities, providing for a back-up supply in the
event that one facility is unable to manufacture. The initial
term of the supply agreement expired on January 25, 2000
and, pursuant to an addendum to that agreement, the term was
extended to May 14, 2006 and thereafter automatically
renews for successive two-year periods unless, 90 days
prior to the expiration of any such periods, either party gives
the other party written notice of termination. In addition, in
the event of a default that remains uncured for 90 days,
the non-defaulting party can terminate the supply agreement
effective immediately at the end of such ninety-day period. We
rely on Hovione as our sole supplier of doxycycline, and have no
back-up supplier at this time.
In September 2000, we entered into a Service and Supply
Agreement with a contract manufacturer, Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing Research Services, Inc. (PMRS), for
the tablet formulation of Periostat. PMRS manufactures the
Periostat brand and Mutuals branded version of Periostat.
Our current arrangement with PMRS has been extended until the
earlier of March 30, 2007 or until a generic 20 mg
doxycycline hyclate tablet is available on the market.
Currently, PMRS is the sole third-party contract manufacturer to
supply a tablet formulation of Periostat to us. We intend to
contract with additional manufacturers for the commercial
manufacture of Periostat tablets. PMRS is required to comply
with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP, requirements.
In November 1998, we executed a Distribution Services Agreement
with Cardinal Health Specialty Pharmaceutical Services, or SPS,
pursuant to which SPS acts as our exclusive logistics provider
for Periostat in the United States and Puerto Rico. Under this
agreement, SPS warehouses and ships Periostat and Pandel from
its central distribution facility in Laverne, Tennessee to
wholesalers that distribute our products to pharmacies
throughout the United States for prescription sale to patients.
SPS also provides various customer and financial support
services to us, including billing and collections, contract
pricing maintenance, cash application, chargeback processing and
related reporting services. The Distribution Services Agreement
had an initial term of three years with automatic renewal for
successive one-year periods unless notice of termination was
provided by either party 90 days prior to expiration. We
negotiated a three-year extension of such agreement having
similar terms to the original agreement with an effective date
of March 1, 2002.
In February 2002, we executed a Wholesale Service Agreement
effective November 2001 with National Specialty Services, Inc.,
now known as Cardinal Health Specialty Pharmaceutical
Distribution, or SPD, pursuant to which SPD acts as our
non-exclusive authorized distributor of Atridox, Atrisorb
FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D. Under this agreement, SPD will also
provide certain additional services, including marketing, sales
detail report production and contract administration. The
Wholesale Service Agreement has an initial term of three years
and shall renew automatically for successive one-year periods
unless notice of termination is provided by either party
90 days prior to expiration.

Customers/ Backlog
During 2004, sales to Cardinal Health, Inc., McKesson
Corporation, Amerisource-Bergen Corporation and Mutual
represented approximately 33%, 29%, 19% and 14%, respectively,
of our aggregate net product sales.
Historically in the pharmaceutical industry, wholesalers have
been speculative in their purchasing practices in anticipation
of product price increases. To manage this process, we executed
Inventory Management Agreements with our major wholesaler
customers in 2003, which will expire in 2005. Under these
agreements, the wholesalers provide us with weekly retail demand
information and current stocking levels for our products;
additionally they agree to manage the variability of their
purchases within specified limits. In return we give the
wholesalers the right to purchase a specific amount of inventory
from us at the sales price in effect immediately prior to
announced price increases. In recent months, our wholesaler
customers, as well as others in the industry, have begun to
modify their business models from arrangements where they derive
profits from the management of various discounts and rebates, to
arrangements where they charge a fee for their services. We have
not yet reached agreement with our wholesaler customers
concerning the terms of our future relationship.
Research and Development
Our research and development activities are conducted primarily
by third parties including contract research organizations and
academic and government institutions. The main focus of these
activities is the identification and development of novel
tetracycline-based compounds for application in a variety of
inflammatory and tissue-destructive disorders.
Our core technology involves the use of pharmaceutical products
to inhibit the destruction of the connective tissues of the body
and to down-regulate the pathological host response to a variety
of external and internal mediators of inflammation and tissue
destruction.
The technology works in part by modulating the activity of
matrix metalloproteinases. Matrix metalloproteinases are
responsible for the normal turnover of collagen and other
proteins that are integral components of a variety of connective
tissues such as skin, bone, cartilage and ligaments.
Under normal physiological conditions, the natural breakdown of
collagen is in part regulated by the interaction between the
degradative properties of matrix metalloproteinases and a group
of naturally occurring biomolecules called tissue inhibitors of
metalloproteinases, which modulate the level of matrix
metalloproteinase activity. In many pathological conditions,
however, the balance between collagen production and degradation
is disrupted resulting in excessive loss of tissue collagen, a
process called collagenolysis. One such example is the
progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar
bone in adult periodontitis. Similar degradative activity is
associated with other disorders and conditions such as cancer
metastasis, wounds, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid
arthritis and diabetic nephropathy.
Elements of our core technology are licensed on an exclusive
basis from SUNY and results from the research of Drs. Lorne
M. Golub and Thomas F. McNamara and their colleagues at SUNY.
These researchers demonstrated that tetracyclines can
significantly reduce the pathologically excessive collagen
degradation associated with periodontitis. They also were able
to demonstrate that this result was unrelated to the antibiotic
properties of tetracyclines. Furthermore, they demonstrated that
the administration of doses of antibiotic tetracyclines well
below the dosage levels necessary to destroy microbes
(sub-antimicrobial doses) was effective in preventing the loss
of connective tissue in models of periodontitis. Studies
published in scientific journals support the hypothesis that the
mechanism of action for this activity is the result, in part, of
the direct binding of tetracyclines to certain metal binding
sites associated with the matrix metalloproteinase structure.
8
Additional research demonstrates that tetracyclines also have
the ability to stimulate new bone protein synthesis. These
properties, which are independent from the anti-collagenoyltic
properties of the compounds, are particularly important during
the development of certain types of bone deficiency diseases,
including periodontitis. In patients with concomitant disorders,
such as diabetic osteopenia and peri- or post-menopausal
osteoporosis, periodontitis can occur in the absence of
inflammatory-mediated elevated collagenolytic activity and is
primarily a function of alterations in the balance of osteoblast
and osteoclast mediated resorption and bone formation (in
particular a reduction of bone formation). In these and other
circumstances during development of the bony lesion
characterizing adult periodontitis, the property of
tetracyclines to stimulate new bone formation is the means by
which the compounds are able to effectively treat periodontitis.
Other commercially available antibiotic tetracyclines show
effective anti-collagenolytic and independent bone protein
synthesis stimulating potential. Long-term administration of
these compounds at normal antibiotic doses, however, can result
in well-known complications of antibiotic therapy, such as
gastrointestinal disturbance, overgrowth of yeast and fungi, and
the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Our
Phase III clinical trials with Periostat demonstrated that
the administration of sub-antimicrobial doses of doxycycline
over a twelve-month period exerted no anti-microbial effects.
Thus, the use of this dosage strength provides the
anti-collagenolytic and bone protein synthesis effects without
the complications of long-term antibiotic therapies. In
pharmacokinetic studies, Periostat-MR, our once-daily, modified
release formulation of Periostat, showed similar blood
concentration levels (bio availability) as Periostat, and we
believe Periostat-MR will show similar safety and efficacy as
Periostat.
Our license from SUNY also covers the uses of a broad class of
compounds (IMPACs) that have been chemically modified to retain
and enhance their anti-collagenolytic and other properties but
which may have the structural elements responsible for their
antibiotic activity removed. These compounds have shown
potential in a number of pre-clinical models of excessive
connective tissue breakdown. Our current research and
development programs focus on the potential use of Periostat as
well as the use of IMPACS for a variety of disorders
characterized by inflammation and connective tissue destruction.
Additional research by SUNY researchers has been conducted to
identify, synthesize and characterize a new generation of IMPACS
compounds, and we have filed patent applications on structure
and use of these compounds.
Major research programs conducted by us include: (i) the
clinical development of the sub-antimicrobial dose of
doxycycline for the treatment of rosacea; (ii) the
development of a once-a-day formulation of Periostat
(Periostat-MR); and (iii) the development of our
Restoraderm platform.
In February 2004, we announced the positive outcome of a
Phase III double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical study
designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Periostat for
the treatment of rosacea. The study enrolled 134 patients
and is the largest clinical trial ever conducted to evaluate a
systemic therapy for rosacea. The detailed study data was
presented at the Skin Disease Education Foundations
Dermatology Open Seminar on March 21, 2004.
The study results indicated that patients treated with Periostat
showed a continuous improvement during the 16-week course of the
study compared to patients on placebo. In the study, patients
that were administered Periostat had a significantly greater
reduction in the number of inflammatory lesions (papules and
pustules) compared to patients on placebo. This improvement was
both clinically and statistically significant.
Overall clinical disease severity based on the Clinicians
Global Severity Assessment Scale declined significantly in the
group of patients treated with Periostat compared to placebo,
with a greater number of patients on Periostat showing a
complete clearing of the disease at 16 weeks compared to
those patients on placebo. The erythema in patients in the
Periostat group showed a trend toward greater improvement
compared to patients in the placebo group.
The total expenses incurred to date on evaluating Periostat for
the treatment of Rosacea were $2.4 million.
9
Based on the these clinical results, we initiated two
Phase III clinical trials enrolling more than
550 patients to confirm the safety and efficacy of Oracea,
our once-a-day formulation of doxycycline for the treatment of
rosacea. Both studies are identical in design and conducted
concurrently. In December 2004, we announced that we had
completed enrollment for these two trials, which include a
16 week treatment period, and we expect the trials to be
completed in the second quarter of 2005.
The total expenses incurred to date relating to Oracea were
$2.9 million. We expect to incur an additional
$3.4 million in 2005 to complete this trial.

|
Modified Release Formulation |
The development of a modified release formulation for
Periostat-MR and Oracea is being conducted through an agreement
with Shire Laboratories. During 2003, we announced that a
suitable formulation had been developed, and Phase III
clinical trials using the new formulation were initiated during
2004 for both Periostat-MR and Oracea. A patent covering the new
formulation was filed with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (the USPTO) in 2003. We have
incurred approximately $2.4 million in expenses developing
a modified release formulation through December 31, 2004.
The total anticipated expenses, through commercialization of
both Periostat-MR and Oracea, including various milestone
payments to Shire, is estimated to be between $15.0 million
and $20.0 million.
In February 2002, we announced that we had licensed a topical
drug delivery technology named Restoraderm. In August 2004, we
purchased all right, title and interest in this technology,
pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase and Product
Development Agreement (the Purchase Agreement). The
Purchase Agreement superseded our Co-operation, Development and
License Agreement executed in February 2002. Under the terms of
the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the assets shall
be up to $1.0 million, subject to the achievement of
certain milestones. We are also required to pay certain product
development milestone payments in the aggregate amount of up to
approximately $2.0 million as well as royalty and
sublicense fees upon product commercialization. As of
December 31, 2004, approximately $283,000 of these fees had
been paid by us. We paid an additional $150,000 in January 2005.
We anticipate spending approximately $4.8 million in
development expenses through commercialization of our first two
prescription products to treat acne and psoriasis based on the
Restoraderm technology.
Restoraderm is designed to enhance the dermal delivery of a
variety of active ingredients and we intend to use it as the
platform on which to develop a portfolio of topical
dermatological pharmaceuticals. The Restoraderm technology
incorporates certain lipid compositions to enhance the natural
skin barrier and facilitate the delivery of therapeutic active
ingredients into the skin. The Restoraderm technology is
currently still under development, and we anticipate that the
first products to be developed using the technology will be
available towards the end of 2005.
Our IMPACs technology comprises a family of compounds which have
shown the ability to inhibit inflammation as well as the
activity of various enzymes in the inflammatory cascade that
lead to tissue destruction. Periostat is our first FDA-approved
IMPACs compound, and Periostat-MR and Oracea are currently in
Phase III clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and
efficacy in treating adult periodontitis and rosacea,
respectively. A next generation compound, Col-3, has been in
human clinical trials under the sponsorship of the National
Cancer Institute, or NCI, for the treatment of various cancers,
including HIV-related Kaposis sarcoma, and we intend
during 2005 to evaluate Col-3 as a treatment for acne.
Cancer metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from a diseased
organ to the lymphatic or circulatory system, where such cells
then migrate throughout the body causing tumor growth in other
organs. Tumor cell
10
invasion is a complex process that involves the destruction of
the basement membrane, or structural support tissue, of the
lymphatic or circulatory system, and the migration of tumor
cells to secondary sites, followed by proliferation of these
cells. Data from pre-clinical studies sponsored by us at two
major universities suggest that several of our IMPACS drug
candidates have potent activity in models of cancer invasion.
In 2001, at its cost, the NCI initiated an open-label, two-dose
study to determine clinical efficacy of Metastat®, our lead
compound for the treatment of metastatic cancer, in patients
with HIV-related Kaposis sarcoma. This multi-center,
Phase 2 study enrolled 75 patients with HIV-related
Kaposis sarcoma by March 2003. Patients received one of
two different doses of Metastat, in some cases for more than two
years. The NCI conducted an interim analysis that was published
in April 2004. The data suggests that some patients obtained
significant relief (both partial responses and complete
responses) of their tumor burden, which was maintained on
average for more than 12 months. The study is still ongoing
and awaiting final analysis.
We have not developed forecasts for the sale of products arising
from the commercialization of Metastat in Kaposis sarcoma,
nor do we anticipate spending significant resources on the
development of Metastat until it is clear from the currently
conducted studies that the drug has a tolerable safety profile
and a high likelihood of clinical and commercial success.

Preclinical and Other Research and Development Activities |
In October 2002, we announced the execution of a license
agreement with Medtronic, Inc. involving our IMPACS compounds,
pursuant to which Medtronic obtained an exclusive, worldwide
license to technology relating to the use of the compounds to
treat aortic aneurysms and other forms of vascular disease with
medical devices. This program is still underway.
Our research and development expenditures were approximately
$8.8 million, $5.5 million and $4.4 million in
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We expect to increase our
investment in research and development in 2005.
Patents, Trade Secrets and Licenses
Our success will depend in part on patent and trade secret
protection for our technologies, products and processes, and on
our ability to operate without infringement of proprietary
rights of other parties both in the United States and in foreign
countries. Because of the substantial length of time and expense
associated with bringing new products through development to the
marketplace, the pharmaceutical industry places considerable
importance on obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret
protection for new technologies, products and processes.
We depend on our license from SUNY for all of our IMPACs
technology. The SUNY License grants us an exclusive worldwide
license to make and sell products employing tetracyclines that
are designed or utilized to alter a biological process. In
consideration of the license granted to us, we: (i) issued
to SUNY 78,948 shares of our common stock in 1992; and
(ii) have agreed to pay SUNY royalties on the net sales of
products employing tetracyclines, with minimum annual royalty
payments of $50,000 per year. The term of the license is:
(i) until the expiration of the last to expire of the
licensed patents in each country; or (ii) until
November 18, 2018, at which time we have a fully paid,
non-exclusive license. Our rights under the SUNY License are
subject to certain statutory rights of the United States
government resulting from federal support of research activities
at SUNY.
Thirty one United States patents and United States patent
applications held by SUNY are licensed to us under the SUNY
License. SUNY also has obtained patents in certain European
countries, Canada and Japan, and has pending patent applications
in certain other foreign countries which correspond to its
United States patents relating to methods of use of
tetracyclines. Eighty-seven patents have been issued in foreign
countries. All of SUNYs United States and foreign patents
expire between 2004 and 2019.
11
In addition to the patents and patent applications licensed from
SUNY which represent the core technology, we own additional
technology for which applications for United States patents have
been filed and have been issued.
On June 10, 2002, we executed a Development and Licensing
Agreement with Shire Laboratories, Inc. pursuant to which we
were granted an exclusive worldwide license (including the right
to sublicense) to use Shire technology and patents to develop
prescription products for the treatment of various inflammatory
disorders. Under the agreement, certain product development
functions will be performed for us by Shire. We have committed
to pay Shire milestone payments in cash or, at our option, in a
combination of cash and our common stock, upon the achievement
of certain clinical and regulatory milestones. These payments
could total up to $5.2 million in the aggregate. Under the
agreement we must also pay Shire a percentage of net sales of
any products utilizing any part of the licensed technology. We
may terminate the agreement upon sixty days notice.
We are currently involved in litigation where we have filed a
complaint for patent infringement against IVAX Pharmaceuticals
Inc. (IVAX) and CorePharma LLC
(CorePharma) in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of New York.
Previously, we successfully settled various patent related
litigation with West-ward Pharmaceutical Corporation
(West-ward) in 2003. West-ward, a generic
pharmaceutical company, had filed an ANDA for a generic version
of Periostat. We sued West-ward and other defendants in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York, alleging that West-ward infringed our patents for
Periostat for the treatment of adult periodontitis by submitting
an ANDA with the FDA, seeking FDA approval to market a generic
capsule version of Periostat. In the settlement, West-ward
agreed and confessed to judgment that our Periostat patents are
valid and were infringed by the filing of West-wards ANDA.
We agreed to pay a portion of West-wards actual legal
expenses in the amount of $700,000.
In a similar case, we settled all pending litigation with Mutual
on April 8, 2004. Mutual, another generic
pharmaceutical company, had filed an ANDA for a generic version
of Periostat. We sued Mutual in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of New York, claiming that Mutual
infringed the claims of our Periostat patents. In the
settlement, Mutual agreed and confessed to judgment that our
Periostat patents are valid and were infringed by the filing of
Mutuals ANDA. We agreed to pay Mutual a portion of our
anticipated savings in legal expenses in the amount of
$2.0 million. In connection with the settlement, we entered
into a License and Supply Agreement pursuant to which Mutual
received a license to sell a branded version of Periostat. We
are the sole supplier of this product to Mutual, subject to
certain conditions. The product will be sold to Mutual at prices
below our average manufacturers price for Periostat
through May 15, 2007 or the earlier termination of such
supply arrangements. Early termination may occur under certain
circumstances, including the successful entry of a third party
generic competitor to Periostat. If at any time a generic
version of Periostat becomes available on the market at a price
lower than the selling price of Mutuals branded version of
Periostat, the value of the branded product then in
Mutuals or its customers inventory will decrease.
Under our License and Supply Agreement with Mutual, if the
generic product remains on the market for a specific period of
time, we will have to provide retroactive credit to Mutual to
offset such devaluations in Mutuals or its customers
inventory.
We vigorously enforce our patent rights against any and all
third-party infringers. This strategy remains unchanged,
although the decision in January 2005 of the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia affects the legal
framework and the process we must follow. That decision upheld
the FDAs classification of Periostat as an antibiotic drug
which is not entitled to the protection otherwise available to
non-antibiotic drugs under the Hatch Waxman amendments to the
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. According to the reasoning in that
decision, our future sub-antimicrobial doxycycline compounds,
such as Oracea, would also be considered antibiotic drugs. As a
consequence, unless we prevail in the appeal of that decision,
we will not receive automatic notice of drug approval
applications made by competitors for generic versions of
Periostat or of our future doxycycline compounds such as Oracea,
and we will not be entitled to an automatic
12
30 month stay of FDA approval of these applications while
patent litigation is pending. We are appealing the decision of
the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
Unless we are successful, our ability to exclude generic
competitors will depend on our ability to enforce our patents.
As another part of our strategy to maintain enforceability and
strengthen our Periostat patents, in 2003, we filed requests for
reexamination of the Periostat patents in the office of the
USPTO. The reexaminations were filed in view of additional prior
art raised by West-ward and Mutual while defending against our
patent infringement charges. In connection with the
reexamination process, the patent examiner initially rejected
the claims of the Periostat patents. However, following further
interviews with the USPTO, we have been notified that the USPTO
intends to issue a Reexamination Certificate confirming the
patentability of certain amended claims of the RE 34,656 patent
that we believe cover the use of Periostat. Although the
reexamination procedure has upheld the validity of the RE 34,656
patent, we can give no assurances that the validity of our
patents will be upheld in the litigation against IVAX and
CorePharma or that the court will agree that generic 20 mg
tablets of doxycycline hyclate sold by IVAX and CorePharma would
infringe the RE 34,656 patent.

Protecting our Trade Secrets |
Our success also depends on our know-how, trade secrets, and the
skills, knowledge and experience of our scientific and technical
personnel. We try to protect these assets by requiring all
employees to enter into confidentiality agreements that prohibit
the disclosure of confidential information to anyone outside
CollaGenex. We also seek such agreements from our consultants,
advisors and research collaborators. There can be no assurance
that adequate protection will be provided for our trade secrets,
know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any
unauthorized use or disclosure.
Government Regulation
Government authorities regulate research, development, testing,
manufacture, labeling, promotion, advertising, distribution, and
marketing of the products we develop and market. In the United
States, the FDA regulates Atridox, Pandel, Periostat and our
products in development as drugs under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act and implementing regulations. The FDA regulates
Atrisorb FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D as medical devices under the
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and implementing regulations.
Failure to comply with FDA requirements may subject us to
administrative or judicial sanctions, such as the FDAs
refusal to approve pending applications or warning letters,
product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension
of production or distribution, withdrawal of approvals, import
detentions, injunctions, and/or criminal prosecution.
Our products in development are classified as drugs. The steps
required before a drug may be marketed in the United States
include:
|
|
|
|
|
pre-clinical laboratory tests, animal studies, and formulation
studies; |
|
|
|
submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug exemption
for human clinical testing, which must become effective before
human clinical trials may begin; |
|
|
|
adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the
safety and efficacy of the drug for each indication; |
|
|
|
submission to the FDA of an NDA for approval; |
|
|
|
satisfactory completion of an FDA inspection of the
manufacturing facility or facilities at which the drug is
produced to assess compliance with cGMP; and |
|
|
|
FDA review and approval of the NDA. |
Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product
chemistry, toxicity, and formulation, as well as animal studies.
The results of the pre-clinical tests, together with
manufacturing information, analytical data, and a plan for
studying the product in humans, are submitted to the FDA as part
of an investigational new drug exemption, which must become
effective before human clinical trials may begin. An
investigational new
13
drug exemption automatically becomes effective 30 days
after receipt by the FDA, unless before that time the FDA raises
concerns or questions about issues such as the conduct of the
trials outlined in the investigational new drug exemption. In
that case, the investigational new drug exemption is placed on
clinical hold and the sponsor and the FDA must resolve any
outstanding FDA concerns or questions before clinical trials can
proceed. Submission of an investigational new drug exemption
does not always result in the FDA allowing clinical trials to
commence.
Clinical trials involve administration of the investigational
drug to human subjects under the supervision of qualified
investigators and are conducted under protocols detailing the
objectives of the study, the parameters to be used in monitoring
safety, and the effectiveness criteria to be evaluated. Each
protocol must be submitted to the FDA as part of the
investigational new drug exemption process, and must be reviewed
and approved by an independent Institutional Review Board before
it can begin.
Clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential
phases, but the phases may overlap or be combined. Phase I
usually involves the initial introduction of the investigational
drug into people to evaluate its safety, dosage tolerance,
phamacodynamics, and, if possible, to gain an early indication
of its effectiveness. Phase II usually involves trials in a
limited patient population to evaluate dosage tolerance and
appropriate dosage, identify possible adverse effects and safety
risks and evaluate preliminarily the efficacy of the drug for
specific indications. Phase III trials usually further
evaluate clinical efficacy and test further for safety by using
the drug in its final form in an expanded patient population.
Assuming successful completion of the required clinical testing,
the results of the preclinical studies and of the clinical
studies, together with other detailed information, including
information on the manufacture and composition of the drug, are
submitted to the FDA in the form of a new drug application
requesting approval to market the product for one or more
indications. Before approving an application, the FDA usually
will inspect the facility or the facilities at which the drug is
manufactured, and will not approve the product unless compliance
with cGMP is satisfactory. If the FDA determines the application
and the manufacturing facilities are acceptable, the FDA will
issue an approval letter. If the FDA determines the application
or manufacturing facilities are not acceptable, the FDA will
outline the deficiencies in the submission and often will
request additional testing or information. Notwithstanding the
submission of any requested additional information, the FDA
ultimately may decide that the application does not satisfy the
regulatory criteria for approval.
The FDA approved our NDA for Periostat in 1998. Atrisorb and
Pandel have also received FDA approval. However, we cannot be
sure that any additional approvals will be granted on a timely
basis, if at all. After approval, certain changes to the
approved product, such as adding new indications, manufacturing
changes, or additional labeling claims are subject to further
FDA review and approval. For example, before we can market
Periostat for additional indications now being evaluated, we
will be required to obtain an additional FDA approval.
As a condition of approval of an application, the FDA may
require postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the
drugs safety or efficacy. As part of the NDA for
Periostat, the FDA requested a post-market animal study related
to long-term dosing and carcogenicity, which was completed in
2000.
In some circumstances, approved drugs are provided protection
from generic versions of the approved drug for specified time
periods. For example, the law provides for patent protection or
market exclusivity in certain circumstances. The FDA has not
provided such protection to Periostat, and the recent decision
of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia
upheld the FDAs actions.
Like drugs, medical devices also require FDA authorization
before they can be marketed in the United States. Atrisorb
FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D have received clearance for marketing.
Modifications to those products, however, could require
additional approval or clearance. Approved and cleared drugs and
medical devices remain subject to comprehensive regulation by
the FDA while they are being marketed. For example, marketers
and manufacturers of approved and cleared drugs and medical
devices are required to report certain adverse reactions and
production problems, if any, to the FDA, and to comply with
requirements concerning advertising and promotional labeling for
their products. The FDA does not permit marketing or promotion
of an approved or cleared drug product or medical device for an
unapproved or uncleared use. Also, quality
14
control and manufacturing procedures must continue to conform to
the FDAs requirements for cGMP (for drugs) or Quality
Systems Regulation (for medical devices) after approval.
Accordingly, we, our manufacturers, and our suppliers must
continue to expend time, money, and effort in the area of
production and quality control to maintain compliance with these
and other aspects of regulatory compliance. The FDA periodically
inspects manufacturers to assess compliance with manufacturing
and other requirements. We buy bulk active ingredient for
Periostat, Mutuals branded version of Periostat and our
products in development from third party suppliers and finish
the products in third party manufacturing facilities. The other
products we market, Atridox, Atrisorb FreeFlow, Atrisorb-D and
Pandel are provided by suppliers.
In addition to the applicable FDA requirements, we are subject
to foreign regulatory authorities governing clinical trials and
drug sales. Whether or not FDA approval has been obtained,
approval of a pharmaceutical product by the comparable
regulatory authorities of foreign countries must be obtained
prior to the commencement of marketing of the product in those
countries. The approval process varies from country to country
and the time required may be longer or shorter than that
required for FDA approval.
Competition
The pharmaceutical industry is subject to intense competition as
well as rapid and significant technological change.
We expect that competition in the periodontal area will be based
on a variety of factors, including product efficacy, safety,
cost-effectiveness, ease of use, patient discomfort,
availability, price, patent position and effective product
promotion. We believe that Periostat is distinguished from other
existing and known periodontitis treatments in that it is the
only treatment that is directed to suppression of the enzymes
that degrade periodontal support tissues. We believe that all
other therapies of which we are aware focus on temporarily
removing the bacteria associated with periodontitis. Periostat
is a prescription pharmaceutical tablet indicated as an adjunct
to SRP to promote attachment level gain and to reduce pocket
depth in patients with adult periodontitis that is taken by the
patient between dental visits. We believe that the following
chart summarizes the pharmacotherapies available in the United
States and indicated for the treatment of adult periodontitis:

Many of the companies participating in the periodontal area have
substantially greater financial, technical and human resources
than we do, and may be better equipped to develop, manufacture
and market products. These companies may develop and introduce
products and processes competitive with or superior to ours.
In addition, we face competition from generic competitors. For
example, IVAX and CorePharma have stated that the FDA is ready
to approve their respective competitive generic versions of
Periostat and we cannot be sure that we will be able to enforce
our intellectual property rights to exclude them or other
generic competitors. If one or more generic versions of
Periostat are approved and marketed, our revenues and margins
from Periostat and Mutuals branded version of Periostat
would decrease significantly. As a consequence, we may be forced
to reduce our reliance on Periostat and our resources devoted to
Periostat. In addition, we would have to reduce our headcount
and our research and development activities would be delayed,
interrupted or discontinued. We may also experience difficulty
in managing our cash and in raising additional capital which may
not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
We sell Pandel cream, a mid-potency topical corticosteroid that
is indicated for the relief of mild-to-moderate inflammatory
disorders of the skin in adults, such as atopic dermatitis and
psoriasis. Pandel is considered to be a Class 4 strength
steroid, with Class 1 steroids being the most potent and
Class 7 being the mildest. We expect that competition in
the topical steroid area will be based on a variety of factors,
including product efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness, dosing
regimen, ease of use, patient discomfort, availability, price,
patent position and effective product promotion.
There are a number of patented and generic topical steroids with
which Pandel competes. We believe that the following chart
summarizes some of the Class 4 and 5 steroids available in
the United States and indicated for conditions similar to that
of Pandel:

Many of the companies participating in the mid-potency topical
steroid area have substantially greater financial, technical and
human resources than we do, and may be better equipped to
develop, manufacture and market products. These companies may
develop and introduce products and processes competitive with or
superior to ours.
In addition, we face competition from generic manufacturers.
While these generics are not directly substitutable for Pandel,
many dermatologists and other practitioners who use mid-potency
topical steroids consider them to be similar in efficacy and
safety. The availability of quality generic steroids and the
favorable co-pays given to generics by HMOs and PBMs may
adversely affect our ability to grow Pandel prescriptions, and
consequently our revenues and profits from the sale of Pandel.
Employees
We have historically outsourced our manufacturing, clinical
trials, new drug application preparation, warehousing,
distribution and other activities. We intend to continue to
outsource many of the activities which we have historically
outsourced. As of December 31, 2004, we employed 131
persons. Each of our management personnel has had extensive
prior experience with pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical
products companies. We cannot be certain that we will be able to
recruit and retain qualified inside sales and marketing
personnel, additional foreign sub-licensees or distributors or
marketing partners or that our marketing and sales efforts will
be successful. Currently, none of our employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements. In general, our employees are
covered by confidentiality agreements. We consider relations
with our employees to be excellent.

We Rely on One Product, Periostat, and Mutuals
Branded Version of Periostat, for Most of Our Revenue. The
Commercial Launch of Generic Versions of Periostat Would
Materially Reduce Our Revenues and Profitability and Force
Changes in Our Organization and Activities. |
We rely on sales of Periostat and Mutuals branded version
of Periostat for most of our revenue. During the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, Periostat and
Mutuals branded version of Periostat (with respect to the
year ended December 31, 2004), accounted for approximately
88%, 82% and 82% of our total net revenues, respectively. During
2004, we have generated gross margins on our sales of Periostat
and Mutuals branded version of Periostat of approximately
90%.
Our revenue and profitability in the near future will depend on
our ability to market and sell Periostat and Mutuals
branded version of Periostat, and to leverage our legal rights
to exclude generic competitors. Even though we may successfully
appeal the decision of the District Court for the District of
Columbia classifying Periostat as an antibiotic drug, we do not
currently enjoy the patent and exclusivity protection otherwise
granted to innovator drugs under the Hatch Waxman amendments to
the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Consequently, our ability to
exclude generic competitors depends on our ability to enforce
our patents. We continue to prosecute patent litigation with
CorePharma and IVAX and currently are awaiting the Courts
decision on our motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and for
Preliminary Injunctive relief in that case.
We cannot be sure that our patent litigation will succeed, or
that one or more generic competitors may not launch their
products at risk before the conclusion of the
litigation. It is possible that one or more generic versions of
Periostat will be marketed during 2005 or thereafter. If one or
more generic versions of Periostat are approved and marketed in
2005, our revenues and margins from Periostat and Mutuals
branded version of Periostat would decrease significantly. As a
consequence, we may be forced to reduce our reliance on
Periostat and our resources devoted to Periostat. In addition,
we would have to reduce headcount and our research and
development activities would be delayed, interrupted or
discontinued. We may also experience difficulty in managing our
cash and in raising additional capital which may not be
available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. As result, our
business, financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations would be materially adversely affected.
|
|
|
If a Generic Version of Periostat Becomes Available on the
Market, We will Likely Have to Pay Substantial Rebates or
Provide Credits to Mutual, and Mutual will be Permitted to
Manufacture its Own Generic Version of Periostat. |
If at any time a generic version of Periostat becomes available
on the market at a price lower than the selling price of
Mutuals branded version of Periostat, the value of the
branded product then in Mutuals or its customers
inventory will decrease. Under our License and Supply Agreement
with Mutual, if the generic product remains on the market for a
specific period of time, we will have to provide credit to
Mutual to offset such devaluations in Mutuals or its
customers inventory.
Specifically, we have agreed to pay rebates or provide credits
to Mutual to offset rebates and similar retroactive price
adjustments requested by, and actually provided by Mutual to its
customers, up to a maximum amount based in part on certain
inventory levels. We would also be required to pay rebates or
provide credits to Mutual to reduce the cost of a certain number
of bottles of the branded version of Periostat in Mutuals
inventory through a predetermined formula, reflecting the lower
price which Mutuals customers would be willing to pay. If
a generic product had been introduced at December 31, 2004
at an initial price equivalent to 60% of the wholesale
acquisition price of Periostat, we would have been obligated to
issue credits to Mutual for approximately $2.0 million to
$2.3 million, based on the estimated number of bottles in
Mutuals inventory and the inventory of Mutuals
customers at December 31, 2004.
Furthermore, upon a material default by us or a breach of our
obligations under our agreement with Mutual or if a generic
version of Periostat is shipped by a third-party generic
competitor and remains available for sale for a certain period
of time, Mutual would be entitled to manufacture and sell its
own generic version of Periostat under Mutuals ANDA, if
such were approved by the FDA. If Mutual manufactures and sells
its own generic version of Periostat under its ANDA, Mutual will
be entitled to sell its generic product to the market, including
to our Periostat customers, and we will not receive any fees,
royalties or other revenues from
18
these sales. If Mutual manufactures and sells its own generic
version of Periostat, our revenues could decline significantly
and our business will be materially harmed.

|
|
We Cannot Assure You that Our Clinical Trials will be
Timely Completed or will Meet Agreed Upon End-Points. |
As part of our plans to expand into the dermatology market, we
will need to conduct extensive testing of our products, pursuant
to protocols that measure end points agreed with the FDA. We
cannot guarantee that Phase I, Phase II, or
Phase III testing for our products in development will be
completed successfully within any specified period of time, if
at all. Many products that initially appear promising are found,
after clinical evaluation, not to be safe and effective. Also,
we, or the FDA, may suspend clinical trials at any time on
various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or
patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.
Our ongoing clinical trials for Periostat-MR and Oracea are
currently fully enrolled. We also may commence additional
clinical trials in the future. Although we have not to date
experienced any significant delays in enrolling clinical trial
patients for our ongoing clinical trials, delays in patient
enrollment for future trials may result in increased costs and
delays, which could have a harmful effect on our ability to
develop products.
It may take several years to complete the testing of a product,
and failure can occur at any stage of testing. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
interim results of preclinical or clinical studies do not
necessarily predict their final results, and results in early
studies might not be seen in later studies; |
|
|
|
potential products that appear promising at early stages of
development may ultimately fail for a number of reasons,
including the possibility that the products may be ineffective,
less effective than products of our competitors or cause harmful
side effects; |
|
|
|
any preclinical or clinical test may fail to produce results
satisfactory to the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities; |
|
|
|
preclinical and clinical data can be interpreted in different
ways, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval; |
|
|
|
negative or inconclusive results from a preclinical study or
clinical trial or adverse medical events during a clinical trial
could cause a preclinical study or clinical trial to be repeated
or a program to be terminated, even if other studies or trials
relating to the program are successful; |
|
|
|
the FDA can place a hold on a clinical trial if, among other
reasons, it finds that patients enrolled in the trial are or
would be exposed to an unreasonable and significant risk of
illness or injury; |
|
|
|
we may encounter delays or rejections based on changes in
regulatory agency policies during the period in which we develop
a drug or the period required for review of any application for
regulatory agency approval; and |
|
|
|
our clinical trials may not demonstrate the safety and efficacy
needed for our products to receive regulatory approval. |
If we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or
other studies beyond those that we currently contemplate, if we
are unable to successfully complete our clinical trials or other
studies or if the results of these trials or studies are not
positive or are only modestly positive, we may be delayed in
obtaining marketing approval, we may not be able to obtain
marketing approval or we may obtain approval for indications
that are not as broad as intended. Our product development costs
will also increase if we experience delays in testing or
approvals. Significant clinical trial delays could allow our
competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair
our ability to commercialize our products or potential products.
If any of this occurs, our business will be materially harmed.

Our Products, and Our Products Under Development, are
Subject to Extensive Regulation by the FDA. |
Drugs and medical devices generally require approval or
clearance from the FDA before they can be marketed in the United
States. Periostat and Mutuals branded version of
Periostat, Pandel and Atridox have been approved by the FDA as
drugs. Atrisorb FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D have been cleared by the
FDA as medical devices. Our drug products under development,
however, will have to be approved by the FDA before they can be
marketed in the United States. Also, we cannot market our
approved products for new indications unless the FDA approves
the product for that indication. We have significant new
products under development in the dermatology area. If the FDA
does not approve these products under development or delays or
withholds approval for additional indications for marketed
products, our ability to execute on our strategies according to
plan would be severely hampered, and our financial condition
could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, drug and medical device products remain subject to
comprehensive regulation by the FDA both before and after
approval or clearance. The drug and medical device regulatory
schemes differ in detail, but they are essentially similar. The
FDA regulates, for example, the safety, manufacturing, labeling,
and promotion of both drug and medical device products.
Our failure, or the failure of our manufacturers or suppliers,
to comply with FDA requirements could disrupt production and
subject us to adverse consequences, including recalls, civil
penalties, refusal to grant approvals, withdrawal of products
from the market, seizures, and/or the imposition of civil or
criminal sanctions.
We are, and will increasingly be, subject to a variety of
foreign regulatory regimes governing clinical trials, and
introduction and sales of our products. Our products in
development have not been approved in any foreign country.
Whether or not FDA approval has been obtained, approval of drug
products by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign
countries must be obtained prior to the commencement of
marketing of those products in those countries. The approval
process varies from country to country, and other countries may
also impose post-approval requirements. Our failure to comply
with or understand these processes would materially adversely
affect our ability to execute on our strategies and our
financial condition.
|
|
|
We Depend Upon Third Party Researchers and Providers of
Clinical Services to Perform as Contractually Required if We are
to be Successful in Bringing New Products to Market. |
We do not have the ability to independently conduct the clinical
trials required to obtain regulatory approval for our products.
We rely on independent clinical investigators, contract research
organizations and other third party service providers for
successful execution of our clinical trials, but do not control
many aspects of their activities. We are responsible for
ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in
accordance with the general investigational plan, protocols for
the trial, and applicable regulatory requirements. Moreover, the
FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to
as Good Clinical Practices, for conducting and recording and
reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and
reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,
integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are
protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control
does not relieve us of these responsibilities and requirements.
Third parties may not, however, complete activities on schedule,
or may not conduct our clinical trials in accordance with
regulatory requirements or our stated protocols. Furthermore the
data that they generate may not be accurate or may, in extreme
cases, be fraudulent.
Our ability to bring our future products to market depends on
the quality and integrity of the data we present to regulatory
authorities in order to obtain marketing authorizations. We
cannot guarantee the authenticity or accuracy of such data, nor
can we be certain that such data has not been fraudulently
generated. The failure of these third parties to carry out their
obligations would materially adversely affect our ability to
develop and market new products and implement our strategies.

We Cannot Assure You that Our Pursuit of Business in the
Dermatology Market will be Successful. |
During 2004, we continued to implement our plans to expand into
the dermatology market. We have completed and announced the
preliminary results of a double-blinded, placebo-controlled
134-patient Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the safety
and efficacy of Periostat to treat rosacea, and we purchased the
rights to the topical drug delivery technology called
Restoraderm. We also developed our relationship with Altana Inc.
for the marketing and distribution of Pandel. We continue to
seek additional product licensing opportunities to enhance our
near-term offerings to the dermatology market. On April 22,
2004, we also announced the restructuring of our pharmaceutical
sales organization into dedicated dental and dermatology sales
forces focused on high-potential prescribers of our products.
While we have experience in the sales and marketing of dental
products, we have limited experience in the dermatology market.
This market is very competitive and some of our competitors have
substantially greater resources than we have. Our future success
will depend on, among other things, our ability to:
(i) achieve market acceptance for any current or future
dermatological offerings; (ii) hire and retain personnel
with experience in the dermatology market; (iii) execute
our business plan with respect to this market segment; and
(iv) adapt to technical or regulatory changes once
operational.
At the same time, new product development is a lengthy, complex
and uncertain process that will require significant attention
and resources from management. A product candidate can fail at
any stage of the development process due to, among other things,
efficacy or safety concerns, the inability to obtain necessary
regulatory approvals, the difficulty of excessive cost to
manufacture and/or the infringement of patents or intellectual
property rights of others. Furthermore, the sales of new
products may prove to be disappointing and fail to reach
anticipated levels. We therefore cannot assure you that we will
be successful in our pursuit of business in the dermatology
market, or that we can sustain any business in which we achieve
initial success.
The success of our current technology platforms, and that of any
other future technology platforms we may purchase or in-license,
will depend on the quality and integrity of the technologies
licensed or sold to us. Despite our due diligence and the
safeguards we have in place, we cannot guarantee the
effectiveness or integrity of such technologies, nor can we be
certain that others do not have intervening rights in such
technologies. If any of our in-licensed technologies proved
ineffective, or if a third party successfully asserted any right
to such technologies, our ability to develop new products and
implement our strategies would be materially adversely affected.
|
|
|
Our Current Competitive Position in the Marketplace
Depends on Successfully Enforcing and Defending Our Periostat
Patents. |
On October 1, 2004, we filed a complaint for patent
infringement against IVAX and CorePharma in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York. In our
complaint, we alleged that the submission of ANDAs by each of
IVAX and CorePharma for 20 mg tablets of doxycycline
hyclate infringed United States Patent RE 34,656, for which we
are the exclusive licensee. We also alleged that any
manufacture, importation, marketing and sale of generic
20 mg tablets of doxycycline hyclate by IVAX and CorePharma
would infringe the RE 34,656 patent. We are seeking an
injunction preventing IVAX and CorePharma from introducing
20 mg tablets of doxycycline hyclate in the United States.
We cannot predict how this case will be decided.
As part of our strategy to maintain enforceability and
strengthen our Periostat patents, in 2003, we filed requests for
reexamination of the Periostat patents in the USPTO. As a result
of the reexamination process, the USPTO has provided
notification that it intends to issue a Reexamination
Certificate confirming the patentability of certain amended
claims of the RE 34,656 patent which we believe cover the use of
Periostat. We can, however, give no assurances that the validity
of this patent, or any of our patents, will be upheld in
litigation. If a patent were found invalid, this would limit our
right to exclude others from our markets, and may mean that we
will face increased competition in the United States and in
foreign countries. Specifically, if the RE 34,656 patent is
found invalid, or determined not to cover generic versions of
Periostat, competitors such as IVAX and CorePharma would be free
to introduce generic versions of Periostat in the marketplace.
We would not be able to maintain profitability during 2005 if a
generic equivalent of Periostat is launched into
21
the market. As result, our business, financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations would be materially adversely
affected, we would have to reduce our headcount and our research
and development activities would be delayed, interrupted or
discontinued. We may also experience difficulty in managing our
cash and in raising additional capital which may not be
available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
|
|
|
Our Future Competitive Position in the Marketplace Depends
on Obtaining, Enforcing and Successfully Defending Our
Patents. |
In order to be competitive in the pharmaceutical industry, it is
important to obtain, enforce, and successfully defend patent
rights in our established and new technologies. We must also
avoid liability for infringing the patent rights of others.
Our patent positions, like those of other pharmaceutical firms,
generally involve complex legal and factual questions. Even
though we are currently prosecuting patent applications with
United States and foreign patent offices, we do not know whether
any of such applications will result in the issuance of
additional patents. If any additional patents are issued, we do
not know whether they will provide significant proprietary
protection or will be circumvented or invalidated. We cannot be
certain that we were the first creator of inventions covered by
pending patent applications or that we were the first to file
patent applications for such inventions. The failure to obtain
and maintain patent protection limits our right to exclude
others from our markets. As a result, we would face increased
competition in the United States and in foreign countries, which
would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that patents to which we hold rights
will not be challenged and held to be invalid. We may be
required to bring expensive infringement actions to enforce our
patents and protect our technology, particularly since our
patent rights cover new treatments using tetracyclines, and
generic tetracyclines have long been generally available for use
as antibiotics. West-ward, Mutual, IVAX and CorePharma have
already challenged our patents by filing ANDAs for generic
equivalents of Periostat. Other generic manufacturers or others
may follow suit. We are already involved in infringement actions
and it is impossible to predict their outcome. We could become
involved in additional infringement actions. Regardless of the
outcome, defense or prosecution of patent disputes is expensive
and time consuming and results in the diversion of substantial
financial, management and other resources from our other
activities. We may not have sufficient resources to fund or
manage multiple or particularly complex litigations for
unlimited periods. Our inability to defend our patents would
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that others will not independently
develop substantially equivalent proprietary information not
covered by patents to which we own rights, or that others will
not be issued patents which may prevent the sale of one or more
of our products, or require licensing and the payment of
significant fees or royalties by us to third parties in order to
enable us to conduct our business. In the event that any
relevant claims of third-party patents are upheld as valid and
enforceable, we could be prevented from selling our products or
could be required to obtain licenses from the owners of such
patents. There can be no assurance that such licenses would be
available or, if available, would be on terms acceptable to us.
Our failure to obtain these licenses would have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
|
|
|
We Depend Upon Certain Key Relationships to Generate Much
of the Technology Required to Maintain Our Competitive Position
in the Marketplace. |
Our IMPACs technology is licensed from SUNY, and other academic
and research institutions collaborating with SUNY. Under the
SUNY License, we have an exclusive worldwide license to
SUNYs rights in certain patents and patent applications to
make and sell products employing tetracyclines to treat certain
disease conditions. The SUNY License imposes various payment and
reporting obligations on us, and our failure to comply with
these requirements permits SUNY to terminate the SUNY License.
If the SUNY License is terminated, we would lose our right to
exclude competitors from commercializing similar products, and
we could be excluded from marketing the same products if SUNY
licensed the underlying technology to a
22
competitor after terminating the SUNY License. The SUNY License
is terminable by SUNY on 90 days prior notice only upon our
failure to make timely payments, reimbursements or reports, if
the failure is not cured by us within 90 days. The
termination of the SUNY License, or the failure to obtain and
maintain patent protection for our technologies, would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

|
If We Lose Our Sole Supplier of Doxycycline Hyclate or Our
Current Manufacturer of Periostat, Our Sales of Periostat and
Mutuals Branded Version of Periostat will be Interrupted,
Halted or Less Profitable. |
We do not have the resources, facilities or capabilities to
manufacture any of our products or product candidates. We have
no current plans to establish a manufacturing facility. We
expect that we will be dependent, to a significant extent, on
contract manufacturers for commercial scale manufacturing of our
products or product candidates in accordance with regulatory
standards
We rely on a single supplier, Hovione International Limited, or
Hovione, for doxycycline, the active ingredient in Periostat and
Mutuals branded version of Periostat. There are relatively
few alternative suppliers of doxycycline and Hovione produces
the majority of the doxycycline used in the United States. Our
current supply agreement with Hovione expires on May 14,
2006 and thereafter automatically renews for successive two-year
periods unless, 90 days prior to the expiration of any such
periods, either party gives the other party written notice of
termination. In addition, in the event of a default, uncured for
90 days, the non-defaulting party can terminate the supply
agreement effective immediately at the end of such ninety-day
period. We rely on Hovione as our sole supplier of doxycycline
and have no back-up supplier at this time. Although Hovione
maintains two manufacturing locations, if we are unable to
procure a commercial quantity of doxycycline from Hovione on an
ongoing basis at a competitive price, if Hovione fails to comply
with cGMP, or if we cannot find a replacement supplier in a
timely manner or with favorable pricing terms, our costs may
increase significantly and we may experience delays in the
supply of Periostat and Mutuals branded version of
Periostat.
We have entered into an agreement with a contract manufacturer,
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Research Services, Inc., or PMRS,
for our tablet formulation for Periostat and Mutuals
branded version of Periostat. Our current arrangement with PMRS
has been extended until the earlier of March 30, 2007 or
until a generic 20 mg doxycycline hyclate tablet is
available on the market. Currently, PMRS is the sole third-party
contract manufacturer to supply a tablet formulation of
Periostat to us, including the branded version of Periostat that
we supply to Mutual. Any inability of PMRS to produce and supply
product on agreed upon terms, including the inability of PMRS to
comply with cGMP could result in delays in the supply of
Periostat and could result in a default in our agreement with
Mutual. This would in turn permit Mutual to manufacture and sell
its own branded version of Periostat. The introduction of a
generic 20 mg doxycycline hyclate tablet could also result
in the termination of our agreement with PMRS, and leave us
without a manufacturer or force us to negotiate a new
arrangement, possibly on less favorable terms.
We intend to contract with additional manufacturers for the
commercial manufacture of Periostat tablets. We believe,
however, that it could take up to one year to successfully
transition from PMRS to a new manufacturer. We cannot be certain
that we will be able to enter into additional agreements on
acceptable terms, if at all. In the event that we are unable to
obtain sufficient quantities of doxycycline hyclate or Periostat
on commercially reasonable terms, or in a timely manner, our
business, financial condition and results of operations would be
materially adversely affected.

A Small Number of Wholesale Customers, Large Retail
Chains, and Mutual, Account for the Majority of Our Sales, and
the Loss of One of Them, or Changes in Their Purchasing Patterns
or Business Model, Could Result in Reduced Sales and/or Higher
Costs, Thereby Adversely Affecting Our Operating Results. |
The majority of our sales are to a small number of wholesale
drug distributors and Mutual. For the year ended
December 31, 2004, sales to Cardinal Health, Inc., McKesson
Corporation, Amerisource-Bergen
23
Corporation and Mutual, represented approximately 33%, 29%, 19%
and 14%, respectively, of our aggregate net product sales. Our
small number of customers, consolidation in the pharmaceutical
wholesale industry or financial difficulties of these customers
could result in situations which could temporarily increase
returns of our products from our wholesalers or, as a result of
wholesalers and Mutual reducing their respective inventory
levels, delay the purchase of our products. In addition,
wholesalers and Mutual may increase purchase levels in
anticipation of future price increases. This may cause an
unexpected increase in the level of trade inventories normally
maintained by wholesalers.
Historically in the pharmaceutical industry, wholesalers have
been speculative in their purchasing practices in anticipation
of product price increases. To manage this process, we executed
Inventory Management Agreements with our major wholesaler
customers in 2003, which will expire in 2005. Under these
agreements the wholesalers provide us with weekly retail demand
information and current stocking levels for our products;
additionally, they agree to manage the variability of their
purchases within specified limits. In return we give the
wholesalers the right to purchase a specific amount of inventory
from us at the sales price in effect immediately prior to
announced price increases. In recent months our wholesaler
customers, as well as others in the industry, have begun to
modify their business models from arrangements where they
derived profits from the management of various discounts and
rebates, to arrangements where they charge a fee for their
services.
We have not yet reached agreement with our wholesaler customers
concerning the terms of our future relationship. We cannot
predict what the effect of any new relationship may be on our
costs or our ability to manage trade inventory levels of
Periostat and the branded version of Periostat exclusively
marketed to Mutual. If trade inventory levels of Periostat and
the branded version of Periostat become too high, or if
prescription growth of Periostat and the branded version of
Periostat, is lower than expected by the trade, wholesalers,
large retail chains and Mutual could reduce their orders from
us. This could result in reduced sales of Periostat and the
branded version of Periostat, and adversely affect our quarterly
operating results. Similarly, if the future fees charged by our
wholesaler customers are significantly higher than the margins
they achieve under our existing relationships, this could
adversely affect our profitability and our operating results.
|
|
|
If Our Products Cause Injuries, We May Incur Significant
Expense and Liability. |
Our business may be adversely affected by potential product
liability claims arising out of the testing, manufacturing and
marketing of Periostat and other products developed by or for us
or for which we have licensing or co-promotion rights. We have
an aggregate of $10.0 million in product liability
insurance ($5.0 million for pediatric claims) covering
Periostat and Mutuals branded version of Periostat, our
product candidates and products for which we have licensing or
co-promotion rights.
Our insurer, Chubb Group, has also notified us that our general
product liability policy will not cover claims arising from our
past sales of Vioxx, to the extent such claims are made after
December 31, 2004. This does not affect our rights under
the Co-Promotion Agreement with Merck, which provides for
indemnification of us by Merck against any claims arising from
manufacturing or design defects in the Vioxx product or for
which we, as the seller of the product, may be strictly liable
as a seller of an inherently dangerous product.
Our insurance may not adequately protect us against product
liability claims. Insufficient insurance coverage or the failure
to obtain indemnification from third parties for their
respective liabilities may expose us to product liability claims
and/or recalls and could cause our business, financial condition
and results of operations to decline.
|
|
|
Changes in Stock Option Accounting Rules May have a
Significant Adverse Affect on Our Operating Results. |
We have a history of using broad based employee stock option
programs to hire, incentivize and retain our workforce in a
competitive marketplace. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, allows companies the choice of either using
a fair value method of accounting for options that would result
in expense recognition for all options granted, or using an
intrinsic value method, as prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
24
Employees, or APB 25, with a pro forma disclosure of
the impact on net income (loss) of using the fair value option
expense recognition method. We have elected to apply APB 25
and accordingly we generally have not recognized any expense
with respect to employee stock options as long as such options
are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair value of our
common stock on the date of grant.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Share-Based Payment (Statement 123R).
Statement 123R requires that the compensation cost relating
to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial
statements. That cost will be measured based on the grant-date
fair value of the equity instruments issued. In determining the
fair value of options and other equity-based awards, companies
may use different valuation models that may involve extensive
and complex analysis. Statement 123R will be effective for
us no later than July 1, 2005, which is the first day of
the third quarter of our 2005 fiscal year. We are in the process
of reviewing Statement 123R to determine which model is
more appropriate for us. While we continue to evaluate the
effect that the adoption of Statement 123R will have on our
financial position and results of operations, we currently
expect that our adoption of Statement 123R will adversely
affect our operating results to some extent in future periods.
For example, if Statement 123, which also has a
fair-value-based compensation methodology, had applied to our
operating results for 2004, we would have recognized additional
expense of approximately $3.7 million, which would have
decreased our diluted net earnings per common share allocable to
common stockholders for 2004 from $0.34 to $0.09 per share.
|
|
|
Our Stock Price is Highly Volatile and, Therefore, the
Value of Your Investment May Fluctuate Significantly. |
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated and may
continue to fluctuate as a result of variations in our quarterly
operating results. These fluctuations may be exaggerated if the
trading volume of our common stock is low. In addition, the
stock market in general has experienced dramatic price and
volume fluctuations from time to time. These fluctuations may or
may not be based upon any business or operating results. Our
common stock may experience similar or even more dramatic price
and volume fluctuations that may continue indefinitely.
The following table sets forth the high and low closing market
price per share for our common stock for each of the quarters in
the period beginning January 1, 2001 through
December 31, 2004, as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market:

Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings. |
On April 8, 2004, we settled all pending litigation between
us and Mutual. In the settlement, Mutual agreed and confessed to
judgment that our Periostat patents are valid and would be
infringed by the commercial manufacture, use, sale, importation
or offer for sale of the generic version of Periostat for which
Mutual had submitted its ANDA.
In connection with the settlement, we paid to Mutual
$2.0 million, which represented a portion of the
anticipated fees and expenses that we would save as a result of
the settlement of the pending actions with Mutual. We also
entered into a License and Supply Agreement pursuant to which
Mutual received a license to sell a branded version of
Periostat. We will be the sole supplier of this product to
Mutual, subject to certain conditions. The product will be sold
to Mutual at prices below our average manufacturers price
for Periostat through May 15, 2007 or the earlier
termination of such supply arrangements. Early termination may
occur under certain circumstances, including the successful
entry of a third party generic competitor to Periostat. We also
agreed to provide price adjustment payments to Mutual if a
generic version of Periostat becomes available on the market at
a price lower than the selling price of Mutuals branded
version of Periostat.
In June 2003, we commenced an action and filed a motion for a
preliminary injunction in the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia challenging the FDAs decision to
treat Periostat as an antibiotic drug, thus denying Periostat
certain protections afforded non-antibiotic drugs under the
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and against FDA approval of generic
copies of Periostat (the FDA Litigation). On
July 23, 2003, the Court issued that injunction. On
August 19, 2004 and September 10, 2004, respectively,
IVAX and CorePharma intervened in the case, and moved to
dissolve the injunction. We successfully opposed the dissolution
of the injunction following a hearing on November 18, 2004,
and the injunction remained in place throughout 2004. On
January 20, 2005, however, the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia reached its decision on the merits
of the FDA Litigation, and dissolved the injunction prohibiting
the FDA from approving any ANDAs submitted for any generic
version of Periostat. We have lodged an appeal against this
decision in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit.
On October 1, 2004, we filed a complaint for patent
infringement against IVAX and CorePharma in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York. In our
complaint, we alleged that the submission of ANDAs by each of
IVAX and CorePharma for 20 mg tablets of doxycycline
hyclate infringed United States Patent RE 34,656, for which we
are the exclusive licensee. We also alleged that any
manufacture, importation, marketing and sale of generic
20 mg tablets of doxycycline hyclate by IVAX and CorePharma
would infringe the RE 34,656 patent. We are seeking an
injunction preventing IVAX and CorePharma from introducing
20 mg tablets of doxycycline hyclate in the United States.
As discussed above, during the pendency of this litigation, the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia
reached its decision in the FDA Litigation, and dissolved the
injunction that had prevented the FDA from approving any ANDAs
submitted for any generic version of Periostat. Consequently, we
immediately applied to the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of New York, seeking a temporary restraining
order and a preliminary injunction preventing IVAX and
CorePharma from introducing 20 mg tablets of doxycycline
hyclate into the market in the United States until our patent
claims have been resolved. Our motion was considered and
discussed during a telephone conference with the Court on
January 21, 2005. A full hearing on the merits of our
motion was conducted on January 31, 2005. We are currently
awaiting the Courts decision on our motion. We cannot
predict how this case will be decided.
In addition, on November 19, 2004, we submitted a Petition
for Stay of Action to the FDA asking it to refuse to approve any
ANDA covering a generic version of Periostat, submitted by IVAX,
CorePharma or any other party unless the bioequivalence study or
studies in the ANDA include female subjects.
26
We anticipate that our future legal costs in these matters
relating to patent infringement and defense will be reimbursed
by SUNY pursuant to our Technology License Agreement with SUNY
to the extent that these legal expenses do not exceed royalties
earned by SUNY during that period. During 2004 and 2003, we
incurred $4.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively,
in legal defense, litigation and settlement costs,
$1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of which
were deducted from royalties payable to SUNY during those
periods. In the event such cumulative legal costs exceed the
amount of the royalties payable to SUNY, we will not be able to
recover such legal costs from SUNY. As of December 31,
2004, we have $3.9 million in previously recognized legal
expenses available to offset future royalties which may become
payable to SUNY.

As of March 3, 2005, the approximate number of holders of
record of our common stock was 108.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common
stock. Except as set forth below, we intend to retain earnings,
if any, to fund future growth and the operation of our business.
On May 12, 1999, we consummated a $20.0 million
financing through the issuance of our Series D cumulative
convertible preferred stock. As a result of such financing, we
had certain common stock dividend obligations and continue to
have certain cumulative cash dividend obligations to the holders
of the Series D preferred stock. Such financing arrangement
also limits our ability to generally declare dividends to our
common stockholders. In addition, our ability to generally
declare dividends to our common stockholders is further limited
by the terms of our credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank.
The following information relates to all securities of the
Company sold by us during the year ended December 31, 2004
which were not registered under the securities laws at the time
of grant, issuance and/or sale (and which were not previously
reported on a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q):
Option Grants
During the fourth quarter of 2004, we granted stock options
pursuant to our 1996 Stock Plan and outside of our 1996 Stock
Plan which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the Securities Act). All of such option
grants were granted at the then current fair value of the common
stock.

We did not employ an underwriter in connection with the issuance
of the securities described above. We believe that the issuance
of the foregoing securities was exempt from registration under
either (i) Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as
transactions not involving any public offering and such
securities having been acquired for investment and not with a
view to distribution, or (ii) Rule 701 under the
Securities Act as transactions made pursuant to a written
compensatory benefit plan or pursuant to a written contract
relating to compensation. All recipients had adequate access to

Overview
CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries. is a
specialty pharmaceutical company currently focused on developing
and marketing innovative proprietary medical therapies to the
dental and dermatology markets. We currently market four
pharmaceutical products to the dental market through our
professional dental sales force, and we market one prescription
product to the dermatology market through our professional
dermatology sales force. Our dental products all treat
periodontal disease and include Periostat®, Atridox®,
Atrisorb FreeFlow® and Atrisorb-D® (the Atrix
Products). We developed and launched Periostat in late
1998 and licensed the Atrix Products from Atrix Laboratories,
Inc. (now known as QLT USA, Inc.) in August 2001. Our marketed
dermatology product is Pandel®, a prescription
corticosteroid we licensed from Altana, Inc. in May 2002. We
also sell a branded version of Periostat to United Research
Laboratories, Inc./ Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc.
(Mutual) pursuant to a License and Supply Agreement
with Mutual executed in April 2004 as part of a settlement of
outstanding patent litigation. Mutual distributes this product
through the major U.S. drug wholesalers.
In addition to our marketed products, we have a pipeline of
products in clinical and pre-clinical development. These
products are based on our two proprietary platform technologies,
IMPACstm
and
Restoradermtm.
IMPACs (Inhibitors of Multiple Proteases and Cytokines) are a
group of compounds that demonstrate a range of anti-inflammatory
activities as well as the ability to inhibit the breakdown of
connective tissue. Periostat is our first FDA-approved IMPACs
product.
Periostat-MRtm
is a once-a-day, modified-release formulation of Periostat
currently in a Phase III clinical trial for the treatment
of adult periodontitis.
Oraceatm,
which has the same active ingredient and modified delivery as
Periostat-MR, is in two Phase III clinical trials for the
treatment of rosacea, a dermatological condition. Col-3, a
second generation IMPACs compound, has completed Phase II
trials for the treatment of HIV-related Kaposis sarcoma
and is currently in a Phase II proof-of-concept clinical
trial for the treatment of rosacea.
Our Restoraderm technology is a proprietary, foam-based, topical
drug delivery technology that originated from a Swedish
collaborator. We have acquired all right, title and interest to
the Restoraderm technology and are committed to initiate the
development of five products based on this technology before the
end of 2005. We are currently developing Restoraderm products
for the treatment of acne and psoriasis.
Our strategy is to become a leading, research and
development-based specialty pharmaceutical company. We intend to
continue to market our current products and develop and launch
new products based on our two proprietary platform technologies.
Our current focus is on the dental and dermatology markets,
although we intend to seek partnerships with third parties to
develop potential uses of our technology outside of our core
focus.
In April 2004, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement as
part of a settlement of all outstanding litigation with Mutual
relating to our patents for Periostat. In the settlement, Mutual
agreed and confessed to judgment that our Periostat patents are
valid and would be infringed by Mutuals Abbreviated New
Drug Application (ANDA) for a generic form of
Periostat. Under the License and Supply Agreement Mutual
received a license to sell a branded version of Periostat. We
will be the sole supplier of this product to Mutual, subject to
certain conditions. The product will be sold to Mutual at prices
below our average manufacturers price for Periostat
through May 15, 2007 or the earlier termination of such
supply arrangements. Early termination may occur under certain
circumstances, including the successful entry of a third party
generic competitor to Periostat. We also agreed to provide price
adjustment payments to Mutual if a generic version of Periostat
becomes available on the market at a price lower than the
selling price of Mutuals branded version of Periostat.
During 2004, we made sales to Mutual of approximately
$7.0 million. We expect to earn gross
31
margins in the range of 88% to 90% of net sales on all future
sales of product to Mutual, assuming the License and Supply
Agreement is not terminated due to the entry of a third-party
generic competitor.
We were founded in 1992 and completed an initial public offering
of our common stock in 1996. We recorded our first profit in the
third quarter of 2002. Although we achieved net income of
$6.5 million, $6.4 million and $902,000 for the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, we
incurred losses in every other year since inception and have an
accumulated deficit of $64.9 million at December 31,
2004.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, net product sales
included net sales of Periostat, Mutuals branded version
of Periostat, the Atrix Products and Pandel. During the year
ended December 31, 2003, net product sales included net
sales of Periostat, the Atrix Products and Pandel. During 2004,
we recorded $7.0 million in sales to Mutual. Net product
sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased over
the prior year due to increases in the number of prescriptions
for Periostat, including Mutuals branded version of
Periostat, and Pandel as well as price increases in the products
we sell to wholesalers offset in part by the lower average
selling price recognized on sales to Mutual. During the year
ended December 31, 2004, Mutuals branded version of
Periostat accounted for approximately 20% of the tablets
dispensed to patients who received and filled a prescription for
Periostat.
Contract revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004
decreased 92.4% to $237,000 from approximately $3.1 million
during the year ended December 31, 2003, primarily due to
the expiration and/or mutual termination of our co-promotion
agreements with Merck & Co., Inc., Novartis Consumer
Health, Inc. and Sirius Laboratories, Inc. during 2003. The 2004
revenue consists of residual contract revenue from our expired
agreement with Merck for Vioxx®.
We recorded $170,000 and $699,000 in licensing revenues for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
respectively, relating to various international distribution
agreements. Our 2004 license revenues included $45,000 from the
amortization of previously deferred upfront licensing fees that
are being amortized over the expected performance periods of the
agreements, $96,000 from the acceleration of previously
unamortized deferred upfront licensing fees related to European
licensing agreements that were transferred to Alliance Pharma
plc (Alliance) as part of the sale of certain U.K.
and European dental assets in October 2004, and $29,000 in
licensing revenue from our Canadian distribution partner. We
recorded licensing revenues of $699,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2003. This amount included $52,000 from the
amortization of deferred up-front license fees over the expected
performance periods of the agreements, $222,000 from the
acceleration of previously unamortized deferred up-front
licensing fees relating to a licensing agreement that was
terminated in 2003, and $425,000 in milestone fees received from
foreign marketing partners upon the achievement of certain
milestones.

Cost of product sales includes product packaging, third-party
royalties, amortization of product licensing fees, and the costs
associated with the manufacturing, the acquisition of
manufactured product, and storage and stability of our current
products.
Cost of product sales were approximately $7.4 million, or
14.4% of net product sales during the year ended
December 31, 2004, compared to approximately
$7.4 million, or 15.0% of net product sales during the year
ended December 31, 2003. As a percentage of net product
sales, cost of net product sales decreased slightly compared to
the year ended December 31, 2003, due to Periostat price
increases and product mix that were partially offset by the
lower average selling price recognized on sales to Mutual in
2004.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of funds
paid to third parties for the provision of services and
materials for drug development, including milestone fees,
manufacturing and formulation enhancements, clinical trials,
statistical analysis, report writing and regulatory compliance
costs.
Research and development expenses increased approximately
$3.4 million, or 61.9%, to approximately $8.8 million
during the year ended December 31, 2004 from approximately
$5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2003.
Development projects conducted during the year ended
December 31, 2004 included:
|
|
|
|
|
our continuing clinical and manufacturing development work for
Oracea, our once-daily, modified formulation of doxycycline,
40 mg, for the treatment of rosacea, which accounted for
total costs of approximately $2.7 million; |
|
|
|
our continuing clinical and manufacturing development and
formulation work for Periostat-MR, our-once daily, modified
formulation of doxycycline, 40 mg, for the treatment of
adult periodontitis, which accounted for total costs of
approximately $2.2 million; |
|
|
|
in-process research and development charges associated with
developing our Restoraderm technology, including milestone fees
and formulation and stability testing costs for two potential
products, which accounted for total costs of approximately
$868,000; |
|
|
|
the completion of a Phase III clinical trial to evaluate
Periostat for the treatment of rosacea, which accounted for
$417,000 in expense; and |
|
|
|
our clinical and manufacturing development work for COL-3, a
second generation IMPACs compound, totaling $673,000. |
Personnel and direct internal overhead expenses, including
consulting and regulatory costs, incurred during the year ended
December 31, 2004 were approximately $2.0 million. We
estimate that if Periostat-MR, Oracea and our Restoraderm acne
and psoriasis products are developed to the point of market
launch, the additional formulation and clinical development
expenses and milestones fees would be approximately
$27.0 million. It is premature to estimate the future
development costs relating to Col-3.

approximately $269,000; |
|
|
|

products utilizing the Restoraderm technology, which accounted
for total costs of approximately $817,000; |
|
|
|

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily
of personnel salaries and benefits, direct marketing costs,
professional, legal, consulting fees, insurance and general
office expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 5.7% to
approximately $31.8 million during the year ended
December 31, 2004 from approximately $33.7 million
during the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses during the year
ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2003 is primarily due to reduced sales force
expenses as a result of our April 2004 sales force restructuring
and a significant decrease in marketing and promotional expenses
associated with products subject to third-party co-promotion
agreements that expired or were mutually terminated at the end
of 2003. These savings were partially offset by a
$2.0 million payment to Mutual as part of a settlement of
outstanding litigation as well as $348,000 in restructuring
costs associated with the April 2004 sales force restructuring.
Under our license agreement with State University of New York at
Stony Brook (SUNY), we are entitled to deduct costs
incurred to defend our patents from current and future royalties
due to SUNY. As of December 31, 2004, the cumulative amount
of such costs exceeded the cumulative amount of royalties due to
SUNY by $3.9 million. This excess is available to offset
future royalties, if any, due to SUNY. During the year ended
December 31, 2004, $1.9 million of the Companys
patent litigation costs of $2.1 million (excluding payment
made as part of the settlement with Mutual) were offset by
royalties that otherwise would have been paid to SUNY. During
the year ended December 31, 2003, $1.8 million of the
Companys patent litigation costs of $3.1 million
(excluding payment made as part of the settlement with West-ward
Pharmaceutical Corporation (West-ward)) were offset
by royalties that otherwise would have been paid to SUNY.
Significant components of selling, general and administrative
expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2004
included approximately $15.4 million in direct selling and
sales training expenses, approximately $7.5 million in
marketing expenses (including advertising and promotion
expenditures for Periostat, the Atrix Products and Pandel) and
approximately $8.9 million in general and administrative
expenses, which include business development, finance, legal and
corporate activities. General and administrative expenses for
the year ended December 31, 2004 also included the
$2.0 million payment to Mutual in connection with the
settlement of all outstanding litigation. Significant components
of selling, general and administrative expenses incurred during
the year ended December 31, 2003 included approximately
$15.7 million in direct selling and sales training
expenses, approximately $8.8 million in marketing expenses
(including advertising and promotion expenditures for Periostat,
the Atrix Products and Pandel and co-promotion expenses relating
to Vioxx and
AVARtm),
approximately $8.9 million in general and administrative
expenses, which include business development, finance, legal and
corporate activities. General and administrative
34
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 also included
a $700,000 payment to West-ward in connection with the
settlement of all outstanding litigation and a $251,000 non-cash
compensation expense related to the modifications of certain
stock options held by Brian M. Gallagher, who left the Company
in 2003 to pursue other interests.

Gain on Sale of U.K. and European Dental Assets |
During 2004, we sold our U.K. and European dental assets to
Alliance for net pretax proceeds of approximately
$3.0 million, and a provision of $945,000 was made for
anticipated U.K. income taxes due on this sale. In accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, the pretax gain
on this sale of assets is included within operating income and
the income tax provision is included within income taxes.

Interest income increased to $421,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2004 compared to $148,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase was due primarily to
higher average investment balances and investment yields in 2004.
Preferred stock dividends included in net income allocable to
common stockholders were $1.6 million during each of the
years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
Such preferred stock dividends were paid in cash and are the
result of our obligations in connection with the issuance of our
Series D preferred stock in May 1999.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, net product sales
included net product sales of Periostat, the Atrix Products and
Pandel. During the year ended December 31, 2002, net
product sales included net product sales of Periostat, the Atrix
Products and Pandel (from July 1, 2002 to December 31,
2002). Our agreement with Novartis Consumer Health Inc. to
co-promote Denavir® expired on September 30,
2003, and we and Novartis mutually decided not to renew our
arrangement. Our agreement with Merck to co-promote Vioxx
expired on December 31, 2003, and the parties mutually
decided not to renew such arrangement. In addition, our
co-promotion agreement with Sirius Laboratories, Inc. with
respect to our joint marketing of the AVAR product line and
Pandel was mutually terminated on December 31, 2003. Net
product sales increased $6.9 million, or 16.4%, during the
year ended December 31, 2003 to $49.0 million compared
to $42.1 million during the year ended December 31,
2002, mainly due to increased volume of prescriptions and price
increases relating to Periostat and the addition of the Pandel
product line, which we began selling in July 2002. Total
international sales increased to $558,000 in 2003 from $350,000
in 2002.
Contract revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003
increased 33.9% to $3.1 million from $2.3 million
during the year ended December 31, 2002. This was primarily
due to increased contract revenues relating to our co-promotion
activities with respect to Denavir and the AVAR product line.
These increases
35
were partially offset by lower Pandel contract revenues earned
during 2003 following our acquisition of a license to Pandel,
when we began selling Pandel directly and recording related
product sales. During 2003, our co-promotional agreements with
Merck, Novartis and Sirius generated approximately
$3.1 million in revenue.
We recorded $699,000 in total licensing revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2003. This amount included $52,000 from
the amortization of deferred up-front license fees over the
expected performance period of the agreements, $222,000 from the
acceleration of deferred up-front licensing fees relating to a
licensing agreement that was terminated in 2003, and $425,000 in
milestone fees received from foreign marketing partners upon the
achievement of certain milestones. For the year ended
December 31, 2002, we recorded $176,000 in total licensing
revenues. This amount included $59,000 from the amortization of
deferred up-front license fees over the expected performance
period of the agreements, $47,000 from the acceleration of
deferred up-front licensing fees relating to a licensing
agreement that was terminated in 2002, and $70,000 in milestone
fees received from foreign licensing partners upon the
achievement of certain milestones.

Cost of product sales includes product packaging, third-party
royalties, amortization of product licensing fees, and the costs
associated with the manufacturing, storage and stability of
Periostat, Pandel and the Atrix Products.
Cost of product sales were $7.4 million, or 15.0% of net
product sales for the year ended December 31, 2003,
compared to $6.7 million, or 15.9% of net product sales
during the year ended December 31, 2002. During the year
ended December 31, 2003, cost of product sales increased in
absolute dollars as a result of increased product sales. As a
percentage of net product sales, cost of product sales decreased
during the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the
year ended December 31, 2002, primarily due to product
sales price increases for Periostat in 2003, offset in part by
higher cost of product sales (as a percentage of net product
sales) for the Pandel product line, launched in July 2002.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily
of personnel salaries and benefits, direct marketing costs,
professional, legal and consulting fees, insurance and general
office expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2.9% to
$33.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2003
from $32.7 million during the year ended December 31,
2002, primarily due to higher legal fees and settlement costs
relating to patent litigation.
Significant components of selling, general and administrative
expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2003
included approximately $15.7 million in direct selling and
sales training expenses, approximately $8.8 million in
marketing expenses (including advertising and promotion
expenditures for Periostat, the Atrix Products and Pandel and
co-promotion expenses relating to Vioxx and AVAR), approximately
$8.9 million in general and administrative expenses, which
include business development, finance, legal and corporate
activities. General and administrative expenses for the year
ended December 31, 2003 also included a $700,000 payment to
West-ward in connection with the settlement of all outstanding
litigation and a $251,000 non-cash compensation expense related
to the modifications of certain stock options held by Brian M.
Gallagher, who left the Company in 2003 to pursue other
interests. Significant components of selling, general and

Interest income increased to $148,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2003 compared to $77,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2002. This increase was due to higher average
investment balances in 2003, partially
37
offset by lower average yields. There was no interest expense
for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $5,000
for the year ended December 31, 2002. Other expense was
$3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to
other income of $17,000 for the year ended December 31,
2002. Such other income (expense) was attributable to
foreign currency transaction gains (losses).
Preferred Stock Dividend
Preferred stock dividends included in net income (loss)
allocable to common stockholders were $1.6 million during
each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Such
preferred stock dividends were paid in shares of our common
stock through May 11, 2002, and thereafter in cash, as a
result of our obligations in connection with the issuance of our
Series D preferred stock in May 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
|
|
|
Cash Requirements/ Sources and Uses of Cash |
We require cash to fund our operating expenses, capital
expenditures and dividend payments on our outstanding
Series D preferred stock. We have historically funded our
cash requirements primarily through the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Public offerings and private placements of our preferred and
common stock; |
|
|
|
Cash from operations; and |
|
|
|
Exercise of stock options and warrants. |
We believe that other key factors that could affect our internal
and external sources of cash are:
|
|
|
|
|
The presence or absence of generic competition, which will be
influenced by the outcome and consequences of our litigation
with IVAX Pharmaceuticals Inc. and CorePharma LLC; |
|
|
|
The effect of our arrangement with Mutual, including product
payment terms and potential retroactive price adjustments; |
|
|
|
Revenues and profits from sales of Periostat, Mutuals
branded version of Periostat and other products and contracted
services; |
|
|
|
The success of our efforts to build a dermatology franchise; |
|
|
|
The success of our pre-clinical, clinical and development
programs; |
|
|
|
Our ability to continue to meet the covenant requirements under
our revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank; and |
|
|
|
The receptivity of the capital markets to our future financings. |
On June 7, 2004, we entered into a Loan Modification
Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to renew and amend our
revolving credit facility, which had expired on March 15,
2004. The amended credit facility expires on May 31, 2006.
Under the amended credit facility, we may borrow up to the
lesser of $5.0 million or 80% of eligible accounts
receivable, as defined under the amended credit facility. The
amount available to us is reduced by any outstanding letters of
credit which may be issued under the amended credit facility in
amounts totaling up to $2.0 million. As we pay down amounts
under any letter of credit, the amount available to us under the
credit facility increases. As of December 31, 2004, we had
an outstanding letter of credit approximating $544,000 that
serves as collateral for certain of our inventory purchase
commitments, if any. We are not obligated to draw amounts under
the amended credit facility and any borrowings shall bear
interest, payable monthly, at the current prime rate. As of
December 31, 2004, we had no borrowings outstanding.
At December 31, 2004, we had cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments of approximately $38.6 million, an
increase of $5.9 million from the approximately
$32.7 million balance at December 31, 2003. This
increase was primarily attributable to $2.7 million in net
cash flow from operations, $3.0 million in net
38
proceeds from the sale of our U.K. and European dental assets,
and the proceeds of stock option and warrant exercises, which
were partially offset by the payment of preferred dividends. In
accordance with investment guidelines approved by our Board of
Directors, cash balances in excess of those required to fund
operations have been invested in money market funds, commercial
paper and government notes. Our working capital at
December 31, 2004 was $39.7 million, an increase of
$7.7 million from $32.0 million at December 31,
2003. The increase was primarily attributable to
$6.5 million in net income, including a $3.0 million
pretax gain from the sale of our U.K. and European dental
assets, and the proceeds of stock option and warrant exercises,
offset by increases in accounts receivables and inventories
relating to our agreement with Mutual and the payment of
preferred dividends. During the year ended December 31,
2004, we invested approximately $292,000 in capital expenditures
and paid $1.6 million in cash dividends to the holders of
our Series D preferred stock.
|
|
|
Cash Flows/ Cash Management |
Investing activities during the year ended December 31,
2004 consisted primarily of the cash in-flows from the sale of
our U.K. and European dental assets to Alliance, capital
expenditures, purchase of in-process research and development
and the purchase of short-term investments such as commercial
paper and government notes.
Financing activities provided $752,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2004. The principal source of cash from
financing activities was proceeds from employee stock option
exercises, which were reduced by the payment of dividends to the
holders of our Series D preferred stock.
We currently believe that projected sales of our marketed
products combined with our working capital at December 31,
2004, will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital
expenditures and preferred stock dividend requirements for at
least the next twelve months. At this time, however, we cannot
accurately predict the effect of certain developments on future
product sales, such as our arrangement with Mutual, the
possibility of generic competition, the effectiveness of our
sales and marketing efforts and the outcome of our research and
development efforts to demonstrate the utility of Periostat in
indications beyond those already included in the FDA approved
label. We expect to modestly increase our annual investment in
research and development during 2005.
Our major outstanding contractual obligations relate to cash
dividends on our outstanding Series D preferred stock,
operating leases for our office space and contractual
commitments with our marketing partners for certain selling and
promotional expenses associated with the products we are
currently detailing.

Such amounts primarily include minimum rental payments for our
office lease in Newtown, Pennsylvania, as well as payments for
sales force computer equipment leases. In May 1999, we entered
into a lease agreement relating to our office space in Newtown,
Pennsylvania. The lease has an initial term of ten years. Rent
is expected to be approximately $337,000 per year. |

Pursuant to the terms of our Series D Cumulative
Convertible preferred stock and unless earlier converted
pursuant to its terms, the holders of the Series D
preferred stock are entitled to dividends payable in cash at a
rate of 8.0% per annum, which are declared and paid every
six months. Beginning on the sixth anniversary of the date of
the original issuance (May 12, 2005) of the Series D
preferred stock dividends payable will increase by 1% per
annum if the Series D preferred stock has not then been
converted or redeemed. |

Such amount represents consulting payments to be made to Brian
M. Gallagher, our former chief executive officer and president,
upon his separation from the Company and pursuant to the terms
of a consulting agreement executed March 18, 2003. |
On June 10, 2002, we executed a Development and Licensing
Agreement with Shire Laboratories, Inc. pursuant to which we
were granted an exclusive worldwide license (including the right
to sublicense) to use Shire technology and patents to develop
prescription products for the treatment of various inflammatory
disorders. Under the agreement, certain product development
functions will be performed for us by Shire. We have committed
to pay Shire milestone payments in cash or, at our option, in a
combination of cash and our common stock, upon the achievement
of certain clinical and regulatory milestones. These payments
could total up to $5.2 million in the aggregate. Under the
agreement we must also pay Shire a percentage of net sales of
any products utilizing any part of the licensed technology. We
expect to make these payments in 2005 and 2006 if the outcome of
our Phase III clinical trials for Periostat-MR and Oracea
is favorable. We may terminate the agreement upon sixty days
notice.
On August 19, 2004, we executed an Asset Purchase and
Product Development Agreement with respect to Restoraderm
technology (the Purchase Agreement). That Agreement
superseded our Co-operation, Development and License Agreement
executed in February 2002. Under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, we purchased all right, title and interest in the
intellectual property and related rights to the Restoraderm
topical drug delivery system, which we intend to develop for
dermatological applications. Pursuant to the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the assets shall be up
to $1.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain
milestones. We are also required to pay certain product
development milestone payments in the aggregate amount of up to
approximately $2.0 million as well as royalty and
sublicense fees upon product commercialization. As of
December 31, 2004, approximately $283,000 of these fees had
been paid by us. We paid an additional $150,000 in January 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Managements discussion and analysis of its financial
position and results of operations are based upon our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make judgments and estimates
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. Management believes the critical
accounting policies and areas that require the most significant
judgments and estimates to be used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements pertain to revenue
recognition, stock compensation and deferred taxes, asset
impairment and inventory obsolescence.
We recognize product sales revenue upon shipment, net of
estimated returns, provided that collection is determined to be
probable and no significant obligations remain. Certain sales
revenue from our customers, including Mutual, is subject to
agreements allowing limited rights of return, rebates and price
protection. Accordingly, we make provisions that reduce reported
revenue for estimated future returns, rebates and price
40
protection at the time the revenue is recorded. The estimates
for returns are adjusted periodically based upon historical
rates of returns, inventory levels in the distribution channel
and other related factors. If a generic version of Periostat,
other than Mutuals branded version, becomes available on
the market these estimates made for the returns, rebates and
price protection for Periostat and Mutuals branded version
of Periostat could vary materially from our current estimates
and affect the results of operations, financial condition and
our business in the period such generics become available on the
market.
Our contract revenues, which were substantially terminated by
December 31, 2003, were fee-based arrangements where
revenue was earned as prescriptions were filled. Accordingly,
since we never had title to the product being promoted, we had
no significant obligations after we recognized this revenue.
Since our inception, a portion of our revenue has been generated
from license and distribution agreements for our products. We
recognize nonrefundable signing or license fees that are not
dependent on future performance under these agreements as
revenue when received or over the term of the arrangement if we
have continuing performance obligations. Any amounts deferred
are amortized to revenue over the expected performance period of
each underlying agreement. The expected performance period is
based on managements best estimate and is subject to
change based on current market conditions. Deferred revenue
represents the portion of upfront license payments received that
has not been earned. Milestone revenue from licensing
arrangements is recognized upon completion of the milestone
event or requirement if it represents the achievement of a
significant step in the research, development or regulatory
process.
It is our policy to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations to account for our
stock option grants rather than Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation and related interpretations. As
such, compensation expense is recorded on fixed stock option
grants only if the market value of the underlying stock exceeds
the exercise price of the option at the date of grant and is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Had
we applied SFAS No. 123, which requires recording
stock option grants at their fair value, our net income (loss)
would have varied from the reported net income (loss) as we
would have recorded additional expenses in each period. See
Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the pro
forma effect of applying SFAS No. 123 to our results
of operations and earnings per share allocable to common
stockholders.
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. This
assessment requires significant judgment and estimates. The
ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent
upon the generation of future taxable income during the period
in which those temporary differences become deductible. We
consider our history of losses, scheduled reversal of deferred
tax assets and liabilities and projected future taxable income
over the periods in which the deferred tax asset items are
deductible. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that
may limit the net operating loss (NOL) and research and
experimentation credit carryforwards available to be used in any
given year upon the occurrence of certain events, including
significant changes in ownership interest. While the Company has
been profitable for the past two years, uncertainty regarding
patent litigation has prevented the Company from reaching the
more likely than not conclusion required under the
applicable literature to recognize deferred tax assets on our
consolidated balance sheet.
With respect to our acquired product rights, we are required to
test for asset impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be
recoverable. We apply SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in
order to determine whether or not an asset was impaired. This
standard requires an impairment analysis when indicators of
impairment are present.
41
If such indicators are present, the standard indicates that if
the sum of the future expected cash flows from the asset,
undiscounted and without interest charges, is less than the
carrying value, an asset impairment must be recognized in the
financial statements. The amount of the impairment is the
difference between the fair value of the asset and the carrying
value of the asset.
In making future cash flow analyses of our acquired product
rights, the Company makes assumptions relating to the following:
|
|
|
|
|
The intended use of the product rights and the expected future
cash flows resulting directly from such use. |
|
|
|
Generic competitor activities and regulatory initiatives that
affect our dental and dermatology franchise. |
|
|
|
Customer preferences and expected managed care reimbursement. |
We believe that an accounting estimate relating to asset
impairment is a critical accounting estimate because the
assumptions underlying future cash flow estimates are subject to
change from time to time and the recognition of an impairment,
as a result of the availability of a generic alternative, could
have a significant impact on our results of operations.
We record an inventory obsolescence reserve for obsolete, excess
and slow-moving inventory. In calculating our inventory
obsolescence reserve, management analyzes historical data
regarding customer demand for our product and generic
alternatives if they should become available. Management
believes that its accounting estimate related to inventory
obsolescence for our current products could vary materially if a
generic alternative becomes available for sale. As such, the
demand of our current products could become variable and changes
in our reserve for inventory obsolescence could materially
affect our financial position and results of operations.
Critical accounting estimates and the related assumptions are
evaluated periodically as conditions warrant, and changes to
such estimates are recorded as new information or changed
conditions require revision.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123R), which replaces
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25.
SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options and purchases under
the employee stock purchase plan and liabilities that are based
on the fair value of the Companys equity instruments or
that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments,
to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair
values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under
SFAS 123, no longer will be an alternative to financial
statement recognition. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R
no later than our third quarter of fiscal 2005. Under
SFAS 123R, we must determine the appropriate fair value
model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the
amortization method for compensation cost and the transition
method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods
include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the
retroactive options, prior periods may be restated either as of
the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods
presented. The prospective method requires that compensation
expense be recorded at the beginning of the first quarter of
adoption of SFAS 123R for all unvested stock options and
restricted stock based upon the previously disclosed
SFAS 123 methodology and amounts. The retroactive methods
would record compensation expense beginning with the first
period restated for all unvested stock options and restricted
stock. We expect the adoption of SFAS 123 will have a
material impact on our results of operations and earnings per
share. We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and
have not yet determined the method of adoption and we have not
determined whether this adoption will result in amounts that are
similar to the current pro forma disclosures under
SFAS No. 123 in Note 2 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
42
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs An amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151).
SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Among
other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle
facility expense, extensive spoilage, double freight, and
rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges
regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so
abnormal as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally,
SFAS No. 151 requires that the allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the
normal capacity of the production facilities.
SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by us in
the first quarter of 2006. We are currently in the process of
evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 151 will have on
our results of operations and financial position.

Item 7A. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk. |
We had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at
December 31, 2004 which are exposed to the impact of
interest rate changes and our interest income fluctuates as
interest rates change. Due to the short-term nature of our
investments in money market funds, the carrying values of our
cash equivalents approximate their fair value at
December 31, 2004. Our short-term investments in commercial
paper and government notes are carried at fair value.

1. |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2004. The term disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, means
controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company
in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs
rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the
companys management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
their objectives and management necessarily applied its judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of
December 31, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting |
(a) Managements Annual Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
The management of CollaGenex is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or
under the supervision of,
43
the companys principal executive and principal financial
officers and effected by the companys board of directors,
management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
includes those policies and procedures that:
|
|
|
|
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; |
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and |
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements. |
CollaGenex management, including the supervision and
participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004. In making this assessment, the
Companys management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment, management has concluded that the
Companys internal control over financial reporting is
effective based on those criteria as of December 31, 2004.
The Companys independent registered public accounting firm
has issued its report on our assessment and effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. This
report appears below.
(b) Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:
We have audited managements assessment, included in the
accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting that CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that,
44
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that CollaGenex
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also,
in our opinion, CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and
subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, and our
report dated March 9, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion
on those consolidated financial statements.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
March 9, 2005
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended as of
December 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting. There have been no significant changes
in internal controls subsequent to the assessment by the
Companys chief executive officer and chief financial
officer.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2004. In connection with our audits of the
consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the
consolidated financial statement schedule, Valuation and
Qualifying Accounts. These consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in
our opinion, the related financial statement schedule when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
aspects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
effectiveness of CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and
subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO), and our report dated March 9, 2005 expressed an
unqualified opinion on managements assessment of, and the
effective operation of, internal control over financial
reporting.

COLLAGENEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries
(CollaGenex or the Company) was
incorporated in Delaware on January 10, 1992. The Company
is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and
marketing innovative medical therapies to the dental and
dermatology markets. The Company, through its own sales and
marketing group, is currently marketing Periostat®, the
Companys lead drug for the treatment of adult
periodontitis, Atridox, Atrisorb FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D (the
Atrix Products) under an exclusive licensing and
marketing agreement with Atrix Laboratories, Inc.
(Atrix) and Pandel under a sublicensing agreement
with Altana, Inc. (Altana). The Company also sells a
branded version of Periostat to United Research Laboratories,
Inc./ Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. (Mutual)
pursuant to a licensing agreement with Mutual executed in April
2004 that was part of a settlement of outstanding patent
litigation. Mutual distributes this product through the major
U.S. drug wholesalers and retail chains.
During 2002 and 2003, the Company also co-promoted Vioxx®
under an agreement with Merck and Co. (Merck) and
Denavir® under an agreement with Novartis Consumer Health,
Inc. (Novartis) to dental professionals on a
contract basis. In March 2003, the Company was engaged in an
agreement with Sirius Laboratories, Inc. (Sirius) to
co-promote Sirius
AVARtm
product line and the Companys Pandel product line to
dermatologists in the United States. The co-promotion agreements
with Merck, Novartis and Sirius expired or were mutually
terminated as of December 31, 2003. The Company continues
to earn nominal residual revenues under its non-compete
provisions from Merck through 2005.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
results of operations of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
|
|
|
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. Cash equivalent investments are held at amortized
cost, which approximates fair value. The Companys
short-term investments are primarily composed of money market
funds, commercial paper and government notes. At
December 31, 2004, all of the Companys short-term
investments, carried at fair value, were classified as
available-for-sale with unrealized gains and losses included as
a separate component of equity. The gross unrealized loss on
short-term investments was $21 at December 31, 2004.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Product rights are stated at cost, amortized over the estimated
useful life of the products using the straight-line method and
have a weighted average useful life of 6 years.
Amortization of product rights is charged to cost of product
sales.

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
|
|
|
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements |
Equipment and leasehold improvements, consisting of computer and
office equipment, exhibit equipment and leasehold improvements,
are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets or the related lease term, whichever
is shorter, and are generally three to ten years. Expenditures
for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company operates as one business that is managed by a single
management team reporting to the chief executive officer. The
Company does not prepare discrete financial information with
respect to separate product or product candidate areas or by
location and does not have separately reportable segments.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and preferred
dividends payable approximate fair value because of the short
term nature of these instruments. Short-term investments are
carried at fair value.
Sales are reported net of allowances for discounts, rebates,
wholesaler and distributor chargebacks and product returns which
are provided for at the time of the sale.
Contract revenues for Vioxx, Denavir and the AVAR products were
fee-based arrangements and recognized according to the
provisions of each collaborative agreement. The Company did not
take title to the products being promoted under these
arrangements. These arrangements were terminated during 2003.
Contract revenues recorded during 2004 represent residual
contract revenues for Vioxx.
Milestone revenue from license arrangements is recognized upon
completion of the milestone event if it represents the
achievement of a significant step in the research, development
or regulatory process. Payments, if any, received in advance of
performance under a contract are deferred and recognized when
earned. Upfront license fees where the Company has continuing
involvement are deferred and recognized over the estimated
performance period of each individual licensing agreement in
accordance with the SECs Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition
(SAB 104).
In 2003, SAB 104 replaced Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), which the Company
adopted in 2000. The provisions related to up-front license fees
were unchanged in SAB 104 versus SAB 101. During 2004,
2003, and 2002, respectively, the Company recorded $140, $52 and
$59 in license revenues that were deferred upon the
implementation of SAB 101 and previously recognized as
license revenues under the historical revenue recognition policy
prior to the adoption of SAB 101. The Companys 2004
license revenues included $96 of previously unamortized upfront
licensing fees related to European licensing agreements that
were transferred to Alliance Pharma plc (Alliance)
as part of the sale of certain U.K. and European dental assets
in November 2004 (see note 11).

COLLAGENEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
The Company records advertising expense when incurred. Such
amounts are charged to selling, general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for 2004,
2003 and 2002 were $24, $139 and $3,091, respectively.
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel
costs, in-process research and development charges and funds
paid to third parties for the provision of services and
materials for drug development, manufacturing and formulation
enhancements, clinical trials, statistical analysis and report
writing and regulatory compliance costs. Research and product
development costs are expensed as incurred.
|
|
|
Accounting for Income Taxes |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the tax rates and
laws expected to be in effect when such differences are expected
to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced,
if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits that
are not expected to be realized. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, encourages but does not require
companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee
and director compensation plans at fair value. The Company has
elected to account for stock-based compensation under Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. Compensation cost for stock options
issued to employees and directors is measured as the excess, if
any, of the market price of the Companys common stock at
the date both the number of shares and price per share are known
(measurement date) over the exercise price. Such amounts are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting
periods of the option grants. Transactions with nonemployees (if
any), in which goods or services are the consideration received
for the issuance of equity instruments, are accounted for on a
fair value basis in accordance with SFAS 123 and related
interpretations.
As set forth below, the pro forma disclosures of net income
(loss) allocable to common stockholders and income (loss) per
share allocable to common stockholders are as if the Company had
adopted the fair value method of accounting in accordance with
SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148,

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks |
The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds with
major U.S. financial institutions, commercial paper and
government notes. The Company has established investment
guidelines focused on protecting the safety and liquidity of
this invested cash.
The Company currently contracts with a single source for the
domestic manufacturing of Periostat tablets and has an agreement
with a single company to supply the active ingredient in
Periostat. A single company also provides all warehousing and
distribution services to the Company.
During 2004, four customers accounted for 33%, 29%, 19% and 14%
of net product sales, respectively. These same customers
accounted for 32%, 30%, 26% and 8% of gross accounts receivable
balances as of December 31, 2004. During 2003, three
customers accounted for 43%, 31% and 20% of net product sales,
respectively. These same customers accounted for 49%, 28% and
18% of the gross accounts receivable balance as of
December 31, 2003. During 2002, three customers accounted
for 32%, 24% and 19% of net product sales, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
Periostat and Mutuals branded version of Periostat
accounted for approximately 88%, 82% and 82% of the
Companys total net revenues, respectively.

|
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangible assets
for impairment when factors indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that an
asset should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company
reviews the realizability of the long-lived assets by comparing
the assets projected undiscounted net cash flows to its
carrying value.
F-10
COLLAGENEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Impairment, if any, is recognized as the difference between the
asset carrying value and its fair value. No such adjustments
were recorded in 2004, 2003 or 2002.
|
|
|
Net Income (Loss) Per Share |
Basic income per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) allocable to common stockholders by the weighted
average shares of common stock outstanding. Net income (loss)
allocable to common stockholders includes dividends on the
preferred stock. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if outstanding options and warrants were
exercised and/or convertible securities were converted into
common stock.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding stock
options and stock warrants that were not included in the
calculation of diluted net loss per share allocable to common
stockholders because doing so would have been anti-dilutive.
During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
the Company had approximately 2,000,000 of potential common
stock shares from convertible preferred stock that were not
included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per
share allocable to common stockholders because doing so would
have been anti-dilutive. There were no common stock equivalents
used in the calculation of diluted loss per share in 2002. For
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, common stock
equivalents were 235,950 and 741,726, respectively, as a result
of in-the-money stock options and warrants calculated using the
treasury method.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123R), which replaces
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25.
SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options and purchases under
the employee stock purchase plan and liabilities that are based
on the fair value of the Companys equity instruments or
that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments,
to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair
values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under
SFAS 123, no longer will be an alternative to financial
statement recognition. The Company is required to adopt
SFAS 123R no later than its third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Under SFAS 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate
fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments,
the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition
method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods
include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the
retroactive options, prior periods may be restated either as of
the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods
presented. The prospective method requires that compensation
expense be recorded at the beginning of the first quarter of
adoption of SFAS 123R for all unvested stock options and
restricted stock based upon the previously disclosed
SFAS 123 methodology and amounts. The retroactive methods
would record compensation expense beginning with the first
period restated for all unvested stock options and restricted
stock. We expect the adoption of SFAS 123 will have a
material impact on our results of operations and earnings per
share. We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and
have not yet determined the method of adoption and we have not
determined whether this adoption will result in amounts that are
similar to the current pro forma disclosures under
SFAS No. 123 in Note 2 to these consolidated
financial statements.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs An amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151).
SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Among
other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle
facility expense, extensive spoilage, double freight, and
rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges
regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so
abnormal as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally,
F-11
COLLAGENEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
SFAS No. 151 requires that the allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the
normal capacity of the production facilities.
SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the
Company in the first quarter of 2006. The Company is currently
in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 151
will have on the results of operations and financial position of
the Company.
Certain amounts in the 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004
presentation.

The Companys Board of Directors may, without further
action by the Companys stockholders, direct the issuance
and determine the rights, preferences and limitations of one or
more series of shares of preferred stock. The holders of
preferred stock would normally be entitled to receive a
preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up of the Company before any payment is made to the
holders of the common stock.
On May 12, 1999, the Company consummated a $20,000
financing through the issuance of 200,000 shares of its
Series D Cumulative Convertible preferred stock (the
preferred stock), which generated net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $18,500. OCM Principal Opportunities Fund, L.P.
(OCM) led the investor group, which also included certain
then current stockholders of the Company.
During the first three years following issuance, the preferred
stock paid dividends in common stock at a rate of 8.4% per
annum. Beginning May 12, 2002, the preferred stock paid
dividends in cash at a rate of 8.0% per annum. Beginning
May 12, 2005, the dividend rate will increase
100 basis points per year if the preferred stock has not
yet been converted into common stock. Dividends totaling $1,600,
$1,600 and $1,629 were declared in 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
F-13
COLLAGENEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
The preferred stock was convertible into common shares of the
Company at an initial conversion price of $11.00 per share,
subject to adjustment (see below), at any time by the holder and
under certain conditions by the Company. The conversion price is
subject to adjustment in the event the Company fails to declare
or pay dividends when due or the Company issues new equity
securities or convertible securities at a price per share or
having a conversion price per share lower than the conversion
price of the preferred stock at that time (see below and
note 5).
The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote with the
holders of the Companys common stock on all matters to be
voted on by the Companys stockholders on an as-
converted-to-common stock basis, subject to adjustment. The
holders of the preferred stock are entitled to liquidation
preferences equal to the original purchase price plus dividends
accrued and unpaid plus other dividends in certain
circumstances. In connection with the issuance of the preferred
stock, the rights of the holders of the Companys common
stock may be limited in certain instances with respect to
dividend rights, rights on liquidation, winding up and
dissolution of the Company, and the right to vote in connection
with certain matters submitted to the Companys
stockholders.
Without written approval of a majority of the holders of record
of the preferred stock, the Company, among other things, shall
not: (i) declare or pay any dividend or distribution on any
shares of capital stock of the Company other than dividends on
the preferred stock; (ii) make any loans, incur any
indebtedness or guarantee any indebtedness, advance capital
contributions to, or investments in any person, issue or sell
any securities or warrants or other rights to acquire debt
securities of the Company, except that the Company may incur
such indebtedness in any amount not to exceed $10,000 in the
aggregate outstanding at any time for working capital
requirements in the ordinary course of business; or
(iii) make research and development expenditures in excess
of $7,000 in any continuous twelve month period, unless the
Company has reported positive net income for four consecutive
quarters immediately prior to such twelve month period.
On March 12, 2001, the Company consummated a private equity
offering of 1,500,000 shares of common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $7,500, which generated net proceeds
to the Company of approximately $6,800. In addition, the
investors in this financing were issued an aggregate of 400,000
warrants that were exercisable for up to three years into
400,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an
exercise price of $6.00 per share. The consideration
received for such warrants is included in the aggregate proceeds
received in the financing. During 2004, all 400,000 of these
warrants were exercised into 189,043 shares of the
Companys common stock. The Company also issued warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the
Companys common stock, exercisable for up to three years
at an exercise price of $5.70 per share, to its financial
advisor in this financing. During 2002, 7,140 warrants were
exercised into 4,654 shares of the Companys common
stock. During 2003, the remaining 142,860 warrants were
exercised into 92,195 shares of the Companys common
stock. The majority of these warrant exercises were in cashless
transactions. Accordingly, none of the 150,000 warrants remain
outstanding at December 31, 2004. As a result of this
financing, the conversion price of the preferred stock was
reduced to $9.94 per share. Such conversion price was
further reduced to $9.91 per share in connection with the
sale of shares of the Companys common stock to Atrix (see
note 5).
On February 14, 2002, the Company entered into an equity
line arrangement under the terms of a Common Stock Purchase
Agreement with Kingsbridge Capital Limited. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Company was able, at its sole discretion and from
time to time through February 13, 2003, to sell shares of
its common stock to Kingsbridge at a discount to market price,
as determined prior to each such sale. The equity line provided
for the sale of up to $8,500 in registered shares of the
Companys common stock to Kingsbridge. The equity line
terminated pursuant to its terms on February 13, 2003 and,
prior to such termination, the Company issued an aggregate of
151,522 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $1,266.
F-14
COLLAGENEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
In connection with the consummation of such equity line and
pursuant to the terms of a warrant agreement executed by the
Company, the Company issued Kingsbridge a warrant to
purchase 40,000 shares of its common stock at an
exercise price of $9.38 per share. The conversion price of
the Companys preferred stock was reduced to $9.89 as a
result of the issuance of shares under the equity line and the
issuance of such warrant. Such warrant is exercisable as of
August 14, 2002, and will expire on August 13, 2007.
The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the
Equity Line of approximately $248 has no net impact as the
increase to additional paid in capital representing the value of
the warrants issued is offset by the decrease in additional
paid-in capital representing a cost of the offering. No warrants
have been exercised and all 40,000 warrants are outstanding at
December 31, 2004.
On May 29, 2002, the Companys Board of Directors
approved an Amended and Restated Shareholder Protection Rights
Agreement (the Rights Agreement). The Rights
Agreement amended and restated, in its entirety, the
Companys then existing Shareholder Protection Rights
Agreement (the Prior Rights Agreement) dated
September 15, 1997, as amended, by and between the Company
and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as
rights agent there under. American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company remains as rights agent under the Rights
Agreement. Each right previously authorized and distributed
under the Prior Rights Agreement was deemed to constitute a
Right under the Rights Agreement effective May 29, 2002.
The Board of Directors further authorized the issuance of one
Right for each share of the Companys common stock issued
between the date of the Rights Agreement and the earlier of the
Distribution Date or the Expiration Date, as defined in the
Rights Agreement.
Each Right, once exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase
from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of the
Companys Series A Participating preferred stock at an
exercise price of $65 per share. All Rights expire on
September 26, 2007 unless earlier redeemed. At
December 31, 2004, the Rights were neither exercisable nor
traded separately from the Companys common stock, and
become exercisable only if a person or a group of affiliated or
associated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to
acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the voting power
of all outstanding shares of the Companys common stock and
in certain other limited circumstances. Upon separation from the
common stock, each Right will entitle the holder, other than the
acquiring person that has triggered such separation, to
effectively purchase certain shares of the Companys common
stock equal in market value to two times the then applicable
exercise price of the Right. If the Company is acquired in a
merger or other business combination transaction, or 50% or more
of the Companys assets or earning power are sold in one or
more related transactions, the Rights will entitle holders, upon
exercise of the Rights, to receive shares of common stock of the
acquiring or surviving company with a market value equal to
twice the exercise price of each Right.
In October 2003, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its
common stock in a public offering for an aggregate purchase
price of $20,000, which generated net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $18,703, after the payment of placement agent fees
and related expenses.

Acquisition/ Licensing/ Co-Promotion Agreements |
On August 19, 2004, the Company executed an Asset Purchase
and Product Development Agreement (the Purchase
Agreement) relating to its Restoraderm technology that
superseded its Co-operation, Development and License Agreement
executed in February 2002. Under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, the Company purchased all right, title and interest
in the intellectual property and related rights to the
Restoradermtmtopical
drug delivery system. The Company intends to develop Restoraderm
for dermatological applications. In accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the assets will be
up to $1,000 subject to the achievement of certain milestones.
The Company is also required to pay product development
milestone payments in the aggregate amount of up to
approximately $2,000 and royalty and sublicense fees, if
applicable, upon product commercialization. During the
year-ended December 31,

2004, the Company incurred approximately $300 in research and
development expenses related to the asset purchase and
approximately $133 related to the product development
milestones, which was charged to research and development in the
consolidated statement of operations. The purchase was charged
to in-process research and development since the Restoraderm
technology has not achieved technical feasibility at this time.
Pursuant to a Co-Promotion Agreement the Company executed with
Merck & Co., Inc. in September 1999, the Company
received the exclusive right to co-promote Vioxx®, a
prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The
agreement provided for certain payments by Merck to the Company
upon sales of Vioxx to the dental community. On
September 23, 2002, the Company executed an amendment,
extension and restatement of such Co-Promotion Agreement which
expired on December 31, 2003. The Company will continue to
earn nominal residual contract revenues through 2005 from this
agreement. The Co-Promotion Agreement also provides for
indemnification of the Company by Merck against any claims
arising from manufacturing or design defects in the product or
for which the Company, as the promoter of the product, may be
strictly liable as if it had been a seller of an inherently
dangerous product. During the year-ended December 31, 2004,
the Company recorded $237 in residual contract revenues under
this agreement.
On August 24, 2001, the Company signed an exclusive License
Agreement (the Atrix License Agreement) with Atrix
to market Atrixs proprietary dental products,
Atridox®, Atrisorb® FreeFlow and Atrisorb®-D, to
the United States dental markets. Pursuant to the terms of the
Atrix License Agreement, among other things, Atrix will
manufacture the dental products for the Company at an agreed
upon transfer price and will receive royalties on future net
sales of the products each calendar year. The Company paid a
$1,000 licensing fee to Atrix in 2001 to market such products in
the United States. The $1,000 license fee payment has been
capitalized and is being amortized to cost of product sales over
the ten year estimated term of the license on a straight-line
basis. On an annual basis commencing with fiscal year 2003, the
Company is required to make marketing expenditures to promote
the Atrix dental products equal to the lesser of $4,000 or 30%
of the Companys contribution margin, as defined in the
agreement, for the promotion of a specific Atrix product that
the Company markets plus the lesser of $2,000 or 30% of the
Companys contribution margin, as defined in the agreement,
for the promotion of a separate Atrix product that the Company
markets. These annual requirements were met by the Company in
2003 and 2004.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement
dated August 24, 2001 by and between the Company and Atrix,
Atrix purchased 330,556 of unregistered shares of the
Companys common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $3,000. As a result of the sale of such shares to
Atrix, the conversion price of the Companys preferred
stock was reduced to $9.91 per share.
On May 24, 2002, the Company executed a Sublicense
Agreement with Altana Inc. (Altana), the United
States subsidiary of Altana Pharma AG, pursuant to which the
Company was granted the exclusive right to create improvements
to, market, advertise, promote, distribute, offer for sale and
sell, in the United States and Puerto Rico, Pandel Cream, a
mid-potency topical corticosteroid indicated for the relief of
mild-to-moderate inflammatory disorders of the skin such as
atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Altana currently licenses such
rights from Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a company organized
and existing under the laws of Japan. The Company will purchase
from Altana all Pandel products to be sold.
Pursuant to the terms of its agreement, the Company paid Altana
an aggregate sublicense fee of $1,700, of which $800 was paid in
September 2002 and $900 was paid in May 2003. The sublicense fee
has been capitalized and is being amortized to cost of product
sales over the estimated term of agreement. In addition, the
Company is required to pay a royalty fee equal to a percentage
of the net sales of the product, if any. The agreement may be
terminated by the Company: (i) at any time, without cause,
upon twelve months prior written notice; (ii) if Altana
shall commit any uncured, willful or material breach of the
provisions of the agreement; or (iii) if Altana shall cease
to manufacture or supply the product to the Company. Altana may

terminate the agreement: (i) at any time, without cause,
upon twelve months written notice; (ii) if the Company
shall commit any uncured, willful or material breach of the
provisions of the agreement; (iii) if the Company shall
cease to offer the product for distribution to its customers; or
(iv) if the Company fails to make certain payments or
fulfill certain invoicing obligations.
On March 14, 2003, the Company terminated its license
agreement with Roche S.P.A. for the marketing and distribution
of Periostat in Italy. As a result of the termination of the
agreement, during 2003, the Company accelerated the recognition
of the remaining $222 of unamortized deferred revenue related to
the $400 up-front payment received in 1996. In June 2003, the
Company recognized $425 related to the collection of outstanding
milestone payments from Roche.
In March 2003, the Company executed co-promotion agreements with
Sirius pursuant to which the Company and Sirius jointly marketed
both the Sirius AVAR product line and Pandel to
dermatologists in the United States. This agreement was mutually
terminated in December 2003.
On October 1, 2002, the Company entered into a Product
Detailing Agreement with Novartis pursuant to which the Company
co-promoted Denavir to target dentists in the United States and
received detailing fees and performance incentives from
Novartis. The agreement with Novartis to co-promote Denavir
expired on September 30, 2003, and the Company and Novartis
decided not to renew the arrangement with respect to Denavir.
On June 7, 2004, the Company entered into a Loan
Modification Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to renew and
extend its revolving credit facility. The credit facility had
expired on March 15, 2004. The amended credit facility
expires on May 31, 2006. Under the amended credit facility,
the Company may borrow up to the lesser of $5,000 or 80% of
eligible accounts receivable, as defined under the amended
credit facility. The amount available to the Company is reduced
by any outstanding letters of credit which may be issued under
the amended credit facility in amounts totaling up to $2,000. As
the Company pays down amounts under any letter of credit, the
amount available to it under the credit facility increases. As
of December 31, 2004, the Company had an outstanding letter
of credit approximating $544 that served as collateral for
certain future inventory purchase commitments of the Company, if
any. The Company is not obligated to draw down any amounts under
the amended credit facility and any borrowings shall bear
interest, payable monthly, at the current prime rate. As of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no borrowings
outstanding.
The Company has three stock-based compensation plans:
The 1992 Stock Option Plan, as amended, (the 1992
Plan) provided for the granting of incentive and
nonqualified options to directors, employees and consultants to
purchase up to 291,000 shares of the Companys common
stock at a price, for the incentive options, not less than the
fair value on the measurement date. Such options are exercisable
for a period of ten years from the grant date and generally vest
over a four year period. All such 291,000 options available
under the 1992 Plan were granted by 1996.
The 1996 Stock Option Plan, as amended, (the 1996
Plan) provides for the granting of incentive and
nonqualified options to employees and consultants to purchase up
to 3,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a
price, for the incentive options, not less than the fair value
on the measurement date. Incentive and nonqualified options
granted to individuals owning more than 10% of the voting power
of all classes of stock at the time of grant must have an
exercise price no less than 110% of the fair value on the date
of grant. Such options are exercisable for a period of ten years
from the grant date and generally vest over a two to five year
period, and may be accelerated for certain grants in certain
circumstances.

The Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan (the
Nonemployee Director Plan) provides for the issuance
of stock options to new nonemployee directors to purchase up to
300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal
to the fair value on the date of grant. Such options vest
20% per annum commencing one year from the grant date.
During 2004, 2003 and 2002, certain existing members of the
Board of Directors were granted 116,907, 74,500 and 62,136
options, respectively, at a weighted average fair value exercise
price of $9.10, $10.80 and $6.60 per share, respectively.
These grants were issued under the 1996 Plan. Such options vest
25% per annum, commencing one year from the grant date.
At December 31, 2004, there were 533,819 shares
available for grant under the 1996 Plan and 75,000 under the
Nonemployee Director Plan.

On September 18, 2002, the Company executed agreements with
the current officers of the Company that provided, among other
things, for the accelerated vesting of unvested options upon a
change of control of the Company. As of December 31, 2004,
there were 76,000 options whose vesting would have accelerated
as a result of these agreements if a change of control had
occurred, and in this circumstance the Company would have
recorded compensation expense of $29, as measured by the
difference in the exercise price of the options with potentially
accelerated vesting and the fair value of the Companys
common stock on the date the agreements were executed. A
non-cash charge will be recorded in the future upon a change in
control for only those options which would have otherwise
expired unvested except for the resulting acceleration of
vesting as a result of these agreements.
As a result of a transition agreement with Brian M.
Gallagher, Ph.D., the Companys former chairman, chief
executive officer and president, the Company recognized a
non-cash compensation charge of $251 for the year ended
December 31, 2003 relating to certain modifications to
Dr. Gallaghers stock option agreements.
On December 8, 2003, the Company granted stock options to
Colin W. Stewart, its president and chief executive officer,
effective the date of commencement of his employment. These
options were granted without stockholder approval under the
following terms: 300,000 non-qualified stock options, exercise
price equal to the fair value on the grant date, ten-year term
and vesting at the rate of 20% for each year of service with the
Company. In certain circumstances, if the closing price of the
Companys common stock exceeds a pre-determined per share
price for a certain number of consecutive days, a portion of
such options will vest immediately; this did not occur during
2004.
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Under the asset and liability method, deferred taxes are
determined based on the differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for loss
and credit carry forwards using currently enacted tax rates. The
provision for income taxes is as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets,
management considers 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 periods in which temporary differences are deductible and
carryforwards are available. Due to the uncertainty of the
Companys ability to realize the benefit of the deferred
tax assets, the net deferred tax assets are fully offset by a
valuation allowance at December 31, 2004 and 2003. While
the Company has been profitable for the past two years,
uncertainty regarding patent litigation has prevented the
Company from reaching the more likely than not
conclusion required under the applicable literature to recognize
deferred tax assets on its consolidated balance sheet.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003 was a decrease of approximately
$1,677 and $1,816, respectively, related primarily to
utilization of net operating losses in 2004 and 2003.
At December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $57,000
of Federal and $32,000 of state net operating loss carryforwards
available to offset future taxable income. The Federal and state
net operating loss carryforwards will begin expiring in 2010 and

Companys net operating loss carryforward are deductions
relating to the exercise of non-qualified stock options in the
amount of $7,926, which tax benefit will be credited to
additional paid-in capital to the extent such tax assets

are realized in the future. The Company also has research and
development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $893
available to reduce Federal income taxes which begin expiring in
2007.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 subjects
the future utilization of net operating losses and certain other
tax attributes, such as research and development credits, to an
annual limitation in the event of an ownership change, as
defined. Due to the Companys equity transactions, a
portion of the net operating losses and tax credits of the
Company are subject to an annual limitation of approximately
$3,800. To the extent that any single-year limitation is not
utilized to the full amount of the limitation, such unused
amounts are carried over to subsequent years until the earlier
of its utilization or the expiration of the relevant
carryforward period. As of December 31, 2004, approximately
$38,000 is immediately available to offset future taxable
income. In addition to the section 382 limitation, the
state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to a $2,000
annual limitation.
At the time of its formation in 1992, the Company entered into
an agreement with the Research Foundation of the State
University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY) whereby
the Company received an option to acquire a technology license.
The Companys option to acquire the license was exercised
in 1995 and remains in effect for a period not to exceed twenty
years from the date of the first sale of product incorporating
the technology under license or the last to expire of the
licensed patents in each country. The Company is liable to SUNY
for annual royalty fees based on net Periostat sales, if any, as
defined in the agreement. Legal costs incurred by the Company in
defending the patents underlying the technology license are
deducted from royalties paid to SUNY (See note 14). A
minimum annual royalty of $50 per year is required for the
duration of the technology license. The Company incurred royalty
expense for this technology of $1,933, $1,832 and $1,563 in
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
In addition, the Company is required to reimburse SUNY for
certain patent related costs, as well as to support certain
additional research efforts.

Sales Force Restructuring |
On April 22, 2004, the Company announced the restructuring
of the Companys pharmaceutical sales organization into
dedicated dental and dermatology sales forces. The restructuring
is intended to increase the Companys sales focus on
high-prescribing dentists and dermatologists while reducing the
Companys cost base. The Company incurred a $348
restructuring charge included in SG&A during the year ended
December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004,
approximately $323 of these restructuring costs had been paid by
the Company.

Sale of U.K. and European Dental Assets |
On November 3, 2004, CollaGenex International Ltd
(CIL), a wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary of the
Company, sold its U.K. and European dental assets to Alliance, a
U.K. specialty pharmaceuticals company, for net proceeds of
$2,980. This agreement provided for the sale by CIL to Alliance
of certain trademark rights, U.K. and European governmental
marketing authorizations, distribution agreements and other
intangible assets relating to the sale or potential sale of
Periostat in the U.K., Europe, Israel, South Africa, New Zealand
and Australia. The agreement also granted Alliance an option to
acquire a license to register and market
Periostat-MRtm,
a once-daily, modified release form of Periostat, for adult
periodontitis in the same territories. The Company has retained
all rights to Periostat-MR for all other clinical indications.
The Company also entered into a Supply Agreement with Alliance
pursuant to which the Company will supply Periostat in bulk
tablet form to Alliance at a negotiated fair value transfer
price.

fees incurred in connection with the transaction. As a result of
the transaction, the Company also recognized $96 in previously
deferred license revenues during the year ended

During 2003, the Company entered into a three-year operating
lease agreement for certain sales force automation equipment.
Under this agreement the Company is required to make monthly
payments based on the monthly number of users.
Pursuant to the terms of the Atrix License Agreement (see
note 5), beginning in 2003, the Company is required to make
certain annual minimum expenditures equal to the lesser of
$4,000 or 30% of the Companys contribution margin, as
defined in the agreement, relating to the promotion of specific
Atrix product that the Company markets plus the lesser of $2,000
or 30% of the Companys contribution margin, as defined in
the agreement, relating to the promotion of a separate Atrix
product that the Company markets. The Company met these spending
requirements in 2004 and 2003.
On June 10, 2002, the Company executed a Development and
Licensing Agreement with Shire Laboratories, Inc.
(Shire) pursuant to which the Company was granted an
exclusive worldwide license (including the right to sublicense)
to use Shires drug delivery technology to develop, make,
have made, use, supply, export, import, register and sell
products for the treatment of various inflammatory disorders.
The Company committed to make certain future payments to Shire,
in cash or, at the Companys option, a combination of cash
and the Companys common stock, upon the achievement of
certain clinical and regulatory milestones. Assuming the
successful development of products currently in development
using the Shire technology, these future payments would be
$5,200 in the aggregate. The Company will also pay a royalty on
future net sales of products, if any, utilizing any part of the
technology. The Company may terminate the agreement upon sixty
days notice.
In December 2003, Brian M. Gallagher, Ph.D., the
Companys former chairman, chief executive officer and
president, left the Company to pursue other interests.
Dr. Gallagher will continue to serve as a member of the
Companys Board of Directors and, until December 2005, will
act as a consultant to the Company. The Company paid $324 and
$20 in consulting fees to Dr. Gallagher for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and expects to
pay $304 in consulting fees in 2005. In 2003, the Company also
recognized a non-cash stock compensation charge of approximately
$251 relating to certain modifications of
Dr. Gallaghers stock option agreements.

Legal Settlements and Proceedings |
In November 2002, the Company commenced an action in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York
seeking to prevent West-ward Pharmaceutical Corporation
(West-ward) from selling 20 mg capsules of
doxycycline hyclate to treat adult periodontitis, which the
Company believed would infringe patents covering the
Companys Periostat product. On November 7, 2003, the
Company settled all pending litigation between the Company and
West-ward. In the settlement, West-ward consented to a judgment
enjoining West-ward and any party acting in concert with
West-ward from making and selling a generic version of Periostat
until the Companys patents expire or are declared invalid
or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. In
connection with this settlement, the Company agreed to pay a
portion of West-wards actual legal expenses in the amount
of $700, which was recorded in 2003.
In July 2003, the Company commenced an action against United
Research Laboratories/ Mutual Pharmaceuticals Inc.
(Mutual) in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of New York seeking to prevent Mutual from
introducing 20 mg. tablets of doxycycline hyclate into the
market in the United States. The Companys suit alleged
infringement of patents covering the Companys Periostat
product. On April 8, 2004, the Company announced that it
had settled all pending litigation between the Company and
Mutual. In the settlement, Mutual agreed and confessed to
judgment that the Companys Periostat patents are valid and
would be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use, sale,
importation or offer for sale of the generic version of
Periostat for which Mutual had submitted its Abbreviated New
Drug Application, or ANDA. The Company paid to Mutual $2,000,
which represented a portion of the anticipated fees and expenses
that the Company would save as a result of the settlement of the
pending actions with Mutual. This charge was recorded in 2004.
In connection with the settlement, the Company and Mutual
entered into a License and Supply Agreement pursuant to which
Mutual received a license to sell a branded version of
Periostat. The Company will be the sole supplier of this product
to Mutual, subject to certain conditions. The product will be
sold to Mutual at prices below the Companys average
manufacturers price for Periostat through May 15,
2007 or the earlier termination of such supply arrangements.
Early termination may occur under certain circumstances,
including the successful entry of a third party generic
competitor to Periostat.
The Company also agreed to provide price adjustment payments to
Mutual if a generic version of Periostat becomes available on
the market at a price lower than the selling price of
Mutuals branded version of Periostat. If a generic product
had been introduced at December 31, 2004 at an initial
price equivalent to 60% of the wholesale acquisition price of
Periostat, the Company would have been obligated to provide
price adjustment payments to Mutual of approximately $2,000 to
$2,300, based on the estimated number of bottles in
Mutuals inventory and the inventory of Mutuals
customers at December 31, 2004.
On October 1, 2004, the Company filed a complaint for
patent infringement against Ivax Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(IVAX) and CorePharma LLC (CorePharma)
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
New York. In the Companys complaint, the Company alleged
that the submission of ANDAs by each of IVAX and CorePharma for
20 mg tablets of doxycycline hyclate infringed United
States Patent RE 34,656, for which the Company is the exclusive
licensee. The Company also alleged that any manufacture,
importation, marketing and sale of generic 20 mg tablets of
doxycycline hyclate by IVAX and CorePharma would infringe the RE
34,656 patent. In addition, the Company applied to the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York,
seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary
injunction preventing IVAX and CorePharma from introducing
20 mg tablets of doxycycline hyclate into the market in the
United States until its patent claims have been resolved. The
Companys motion was considered and discussed during a
telephone conference with the Court on January 21, 2005. A
full hearing on the merits of the motion was conducted on
January 31, 2005.

Legal Expenses to Defend Periostat Patents |
Under the Companys license agreement with SUNY covering
Periostat, the Company is entitled to deduct costs incurred to
defend its patents, including the $2,700 in settlement payments
to Mutual and West-Ward, from current and future royalties due
to SUNY on net sales of products based on the SUNY technology.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company
incurred $4,116 (which included the $2,000 Mutual settlement) in
legal defense, litigation and settlement costs, of which $1,933
was deducted from royalties payable to SUNY and reduced the
Companys general and administrative expenses during this
period. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company
incurred $3,757 (which included the $700 West-ward settlement)
in legal defense, litigation and settlement costs respectively,
of which $1,750 was deducted from royalties payable to SUNY
during this period. The cumulative legal patent defense,
litigation and settlement costs incurred to date exceed the
amount of the royalties payable to SUNY, earned during the
litigation period, as of December 31, 2004 by $3,931. These
amounts, which have been expensed, will be available to offset
future royalties earned by SUNY, if any, on net sales of
products based on the SUNY technology.

401(k) Salary Reduction Plan |
In January 1995, the Company adopted a 401(k) Salary Reduction
Plan (the 401(k) Plan) available to all employees meeting
certain eligibility requirements. The 401(k) Plan permits
participants to contribute up to 15% of their annual salary, as
defined, not to exceed the limits established by the Internal
Revenue Code. All contributions made by participants vest
immediately in the participants account. During each of
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the
Company made a discretionary contribution of $100 to the Plan.
|
|

Related Party Transactions |
During 2003, the Company engaged an outside firm to perform
certain consulting services for approximately $55. One of the
primary stakeholders in the outside firm is a current member of
the Companys Board of Directors.
