Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared from the books and records of Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
information pursuant to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Certain prior year balances were reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. The
interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

(2) Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company's
available-for-sale securities to be included in other comprehensive income.

The following table reconciles net income to comprehensive income (in
thousands):



Three months ended
September 30,
------------------------
2003 2002

Net income $2,804 $ 12,784

income, net of tax -- (55)

Total other comprehensive income 1,628 2,081
------ --------

Comprehensive income $4,432 $ 14,865
====== ========


For the three months ended September 30, 2003, a substantial portion of
the unrealized gain relates to the Company's investment in 1.5 million shares of
common stock of NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NPS") (see Note 13).

(3) New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,
an interpretation of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 51. FIN 46
requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary
beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the
characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient
equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all
new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For
variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the
provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period
beginning after December 15, 2003. At September 30, 2003 we were not a party to
transactions contemplated under FIN 46.

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus
opinion on EITF 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. The
consensus provides that revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables should
be divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met. The
consideration for the arrangement should be allocated to the separate units of
accounting based on their relative fair values, with different provisions if the
fair value of all deliverables is not known or if the fair value is contingent
on delivery of specified items or performance conditions. Applicable revenue
recognition criteria should be considered separately for each separate unit of
accounting. EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in
fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. This adoption did not have any
impact on our financial position or results of operations.

(4) Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available
to common shareholders adjusted for cumulative undeclared preferred stock
dividends for the relevant period, by the weighted average number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding during the periods. For purposes of
calculating diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30,
2003 and 2002, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding and the number of dilutive Common Stock
equivalents. The number of dilutive Common Stock equivalents includes the effect
of non-qualified stock options calculated using the treasury stock method and
the number of shares issuable upon conversion of certain Series A Preferred
Stock that were outstanding as of September 30, 2002. The number of shares
issuable upon conversion of the Company's 4.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes
due 2008 (the "Notes") and the effect of the vesting of certain restricted stock
using the treasury stock method have not been included as the effect of their
inclusion would be antidilutive. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had 6.8
million dilutive potential common shares outstanding that could potentially
dilute future earnings per share calculations.

(5) Stock Based Compensation

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation",
the Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance
with provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees". Compensation expense for stock options issued to employees is based
on the difference on the date of grant between the fair value of the Company's
stock and the exercise price of the option. No stock option-based employee
compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those
plans had exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying common
stock at the date of grant.

compensation expense of approximately $1.9 million is being recognized over a
five year period.

During the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company granted
336,660 stock options to its employees at an average exercise price of $11.61

(7) Acquisition of ABELCET Product Line

On November 22, 2002, the Company acquired the North American rights and
operational assets associated with the development, manufacture, sales and
marketing of ABELCET(R), (Amphotericin B Lipid Complex Injection) (the "ABELCET
Product Line") from Elan Corporation, plc, for $360.0 million plus acquisition
costs of approximately $9.3 million.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for
the three months ended September 30, 2002, assumes the acquisition of the
ABELCET Product Line occurred as of July 1, 2002 and assumes the purchase price
has been allocated to the assets purchased based on fair values at the date of
acquisition (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(8) Intangible Assets

The Company's intangible assets are primarily related to its November 22,
2002 acquisition of the ABELCET product line and are amortized over their
estimated useful lives. The gross carrying amount, estimated lives and
accumulated amortization, by major intangible asset class at September 30, 2003
was as follows:

ENZON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Amortization of intangible assets for the three month period ended
September 30, 2003 was $4.5 million. Assuming no changes in the gross carrying
amount of intangible assets, the amortization of intangible assets for the next
five fiscal years is estimated to be approximately $17.9 million per year.

(9) Goodwill

The amount assigned to goodwill in connection with the ABELCET product
line acquisition was recorded at $151.0 million. In accordance with SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill is not amortized, but
rather is reviewed at least annually for impairment.

(10) Cash Flow Information

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash payments for
interest were approximately $9.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 2003 and September 30, 2002. Income tax payments for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 were $2.5 million. There were no income tax payments made for
the three months ended September 30, 2002.

(11) Income Taxes

The Company recognized a tax provision for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 at an estimated annual effective tax rate of 36%, which is
based on the projected income tax expense and taxable income for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2004.

At June 30, 2003, the Company recognized approximately $67.5 million as a
net deferred tax asset related to expected future profits, because management
concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be
realized, including the net operating losses from operating activities and stock
option exercises, based on future operations. As of September 30, 2003, the
Company retained a valuation allowance of $12.8 million with respect to certain
capital losses and federal research and development credits as the ultimate
utilization of such losses and credits is uncertain and will continue to
reassess the need for such valuation allowance based on the future operating
performance of the Company.

The tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2002 represents
the Company's anticipated Alternative Minimum Tax liability based on the
anticipated taxable income for the full fiscal year.

(12) Business Segments

A single management team that reports to the Chief Executive Officer
comprehensively manages the business operations. The Company does not operate
separate lines of business or separate business entities with respect to any of
its approved products or product candidates. In addition, the Company does not
conduct any operations outside of the United States. The Company does not
prepare discrete financial statements with respect to separate product areas.
Accordingly, the Company does not have separately reportable segments as defined
by SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information".

(13) Derivative Instruments

In August 2003, the Company entered into a Zero Cost Protective Collar
arrangement (the "Collar") with a financial institution to reduce the exposure
associated with the 1.5 million shares of common stock of NPS it received as
part of the merger termination agreement between the Company and NPS. By
entering into this equity collar arrangement and taking into consideration the
underlying put and call option strike prices, the terms are structured so that
the Company's investment in NPS stock, when combined with the value of the
Collar, should secure ultimate cash proceeds in the range of 85%-108% of the
negotiated fair value per share of $23.47 (representing a 4.85% discount off of
the closing price of NPS common stock on the day before the Company executed the
Collar). The Collar is considered a derivative hedging instrument under SFAS No.
133 and as such, the Company periodically measures its fair value and recognizes
the derivative as an asset or a liability. The change in fair value is recorded
in other comprehensive income (See Note 2) or in the Statement of Operations
depending on its effectiveness. As of September 30, 2003, the market value of
NPS' common stock was $27.86 per share. The increase in the aggregate value of
the NPS shares above the base price of $23.47 per share up to the $25.35 per
share Collar limit, or $2.8 million, has been recorded in comprehensive income,
net of income taxes. The fair value of the Collar represented a liability of
$3.5 million, which is included under "Other Liabilities" in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, the difference in the fair value of the
Collar compared to the fair market value of the NPS common stock of $307,000 was
recorded as "Other Income" in the Statement of Operations for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003. When the underlying shares become unrestricted and freely
tradable, the Company will be required to deliver to the financial institution
as posted collateral, a corresponding number of shares of NPS common stock. The
Collar will mature in four separate three-month intervals beginning November
2004 through August 2005, at which time the Company will receive the proceeds
from the sale of the securities. The amount due at each maturity date will be
determined based on the market value of NPS' common stock on such maturity date.
The contract requires the Company to maintain a minimum cash balance of $30.0
million and additional collateral up to $10.0 million (as defined) under certain
circumstances with the financial institution. The strike prices of the put and
call options are subject to certain adjustments in the event the Company
receives a dividend from NPS.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Information contained herein contains forward-looking statements which can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes,"
"expects," "may," "will," "should," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or
other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of
strategy. We cannot assure you that the future results covered by the
forward-looking statements will be achieved. The matters set forth in the "Risk
Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference, constitute
cautionary statements identifying important factors with respect to such
forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties, that
could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results indicated
in such forward-looking statements. Other factors could also cause actual
results to vary materially from the future results indicated in such
forward-looking statements.

Acquisition of ABELCET(R) Business

On November 22, 2002, we acquired the North American rights and
operational assets associated with the development, manufacture, sales and
marketing of ABELCET (Amphotericin B Lipid Complex Injection) ("the ABELCET
Product Line") from Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan") for $360.0 million, plus
approximately $9.3 million of acquisition costs. This transaction was accounted
for as a business combination.

Unless otherwise indicated, the discussions in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 and financial condition at September 30, 2003 include the
results of operations of the ABELCET Product Line commencing from November 23,
2002. Comparisons are made to the results of operations and the financial
condition for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, which include only our
historical results prior to our acquisition of the ABELCET Product Line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total cash reserves, which include cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities, were $155.6 million as of September 30, 2003, as compared to $153.3
million as of June 30, 2003. The increase is primarily due to the positive cash
flow from operations. We invest our excess cash primarily in United States
government-backed securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2003, net cash generated from
operating activities was $3.9 million, compared to $7.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2002, primarily reflecting our net income of $2.8
million, depreciation and amortization of $5.9 million, deferred income taxes of
$1.2 million and lower working capital of $6.1 million.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $7.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2003 compared to an inflow of $34.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2002. Cash used in investing activities during
the three months ended September 30, 2003, consisted of $1.6 million of capital
expenditures and net purchases of marketable securities of $6.0 million.

As of September 30, 2003, we had $400.0 million of 4.5% convertible
subordinated notes outstanding. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of
4.5%. Interest is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year beginning January
2, 2002. Accrued interest on the notes was $4.5 million as of September 30,
2003. The holders may convert all or a portion of the notes into common stock at
any time on or before July 1, 2008. The notes are convertible into our common
stock at a conversion price of $70.98 per share, subject to adjustment in
certain events. The notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior
indebtedness. On or after July 7, 2004, we may redeem any or all of the notes at
specified redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the day
preceding the redemption date. The notes will mature on July 1, 2008 unless
earlier converted, redeemed at our option or redeemed at the option of the
note-holder upon a fundamental change, as described in the indenture for the
notes. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are subject to any financial
covenants under the indenture. In addition, neither we nor any of our


12


subsidiaries are restricted under the indenture from paying dividends, incurring
debt, or issuing or repurchasing our securities.

In August 2003, we entered into a Zero Cost Protective Collar arrangement
(the "Collar") with a financial institution to reduce the exposure associated
with the 1.5 million shares of common stock of NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NPS")
we received as part of the merger termination agreement with NPS. By entering
into this equity collar arrangement and taking into consideration the underlying
put and call option strike prices, the terms are structured so that our
investment in NPS stock, when combined with the value of the Collar, should
secure ultimate cash proceeds in the range of 85%-108% of the negotiated fair
value per share of $23.47 (representing a 4.85% discount off of the closing
price of NPS common stock on the day before we executed the Collar). The Collar
is considered a derivative hedging instrument under the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 and as such, we periodically measure its fair value
and recognize the derivative as an asset or a liability. The change in fair
value is recorded in other comprehensive income or in the Statement of
Operations depending on its effectiveness. As of September 30, 2003, the market
value of NPS' common stock was $27.86 per share. The increase in the aggregate
value of the NPS shares above the base price of $23.47 per share up to the
$25.35 per share Collar limit, or $2.8 million, has been recorded in
comprehensive income, net of income taxes. The fair value of the Collar
represented a liability of $3.5 million, which is included under "Other
Liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, the
difference in the fair value of the Collar compared to the fair market value of
the NPS common stock of $307,000 was recorded as "Other Income" in the Statement
of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. When the underlying
shares become unrestricted and freely tradable, we will be required to deliver
to the financial institution, as posted collateral, a corresponding number of
shares of NPS common stock. The Collar will mature in four separate three-month
intervals beginning November 2004 through August 2005, at which time we will
receive the proceeds from the sale of the securities. The amount due at each
maturity date will be determined based on the market value of NPS' common stock
on such maturity date. The contract requires us to maintain a minimum cash
balance of $30.0 million and additional collateral up to $10.0 million (as
defined) under certain circumstances with the financial institution. The strike
prices of the put and call options are subject to certain adjustments in the
event we receive a dividend from NPS.

Our current sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents, and interest
earned on such cash reserves, marketable securities, sales of ADAGEN(R),
ONCASPAR(R), DEPOCYT(R) and ABELCET, royalties earned on sales of PEG-INTRON(R)
and other products and sales of our products for research purposes and license
fees. Based upon our currently planned research and development activities and
related costs and our current sources of liquidity we anticipate our current
cash reserves and expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet
our capital, debt service and operational requirements for the foreseeable
future.

While we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and investments will be
adequate to satisfy our capital needs for the foreseeable future, we may seek
additional financing, such as through future offerings of equity or debt
securities or agreements with collaborators with respect to the development and
commercialization of products, to fund future operations and potential
acquisitions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to obtain
additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

Contractual Obligations

Our major outstanding contractual obligations relate to our operating
leases, our convertible debt and our license and development agreements with
collaborative partners. Since June 30, 2003, there has been no material change
with respect to our contractual obligations as disclosed under Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Contractual Obligations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2003.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002

Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003
increased by 62% to $40.6 million, as compared to $25.1 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2002. The components of revenues are product sales
and certain contract manufacturing revenues, royalties we earn on the sale of
our products by others and contract revenues.

Net sales and manufacturing revenue increased by 305% to $26.6 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $6.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in net sales was due to our
commencing of sales of ABELCET in North America in November 2002 and DEPOCYT in
January 2003, and increased sales of ADAGEN and ONCASPAR. During November 2002,
we acquired the ABELCET Product Line from Elan. During the three months ended
September 30, 2003, we recorded $16.6 million of sales related to the ABELCET
Product Line, of which $15.0 million related to sales of the product in North
America and $1.6 million related to the manufacture and sale of ABELCET to Elan
for the international market and other contract manufacturing revenue. In
January 2003, we obtained an exclusive license to sell, market and distribute
SkyePharma's DEPOCYT. During the three months ended September 30, 2003, we
recorded DEPOCYT sales of $1.3 million. Sales of ONCASPAR increased by 48% to
$4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $2.8 million in
the corresponding period in the prior year. This was a result of our resumption
of marketing efforts in connection with reacquiring from Aventis in June 2002
the right to market and distribute ONCASPAR for certain territories previously
licensed to Aventis. Sales of ADAGEN increased by 21% for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 to $4.6 million as compared to $3.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 due to an increase in the number of patients
receiving the drug.

Royalties for the three months ended September 30, 2003, decreased to
$13.8 million as compared to $18.4 million in the same period in the prior year.
The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales by Schering-Plough, our
marketing partner, of PEG-INTRON due to the introduction of a competitive
product, PEGASYS(R).

During December 2002 Hoffman-LaRoche launched PEGASYS, a pegylated version
of its interferon product ROFERON-A(R). Since its launch, PEGASYS has taken
market share away from PEG-INTRON. As a result, quarterly sales of PEG-INTRON
and the royalties we receive on those sales have declined in recent quarters. We
cannot assure you that PEGASYS will not continue to gain market share at the
expense of PEG-INTRON which could result in lower PEG-INTRON sales and lower
royalties to us.

As a result our focused marketing efforts for ABELCET, we believe that we
have been able to stabilize the pressure from the introduction of new products
in the antifungal market and that the product is now back on a growth pattern.
We expect sales of DEPOCYT, which are currently running at an annual rate of
approximately $5.0 million, to increase in this fiscal year compared to the last
fiscal year. We expect ADAGEN and ONCASPAR sales to grow in this fiscal year at
similar levels as achieved during the last fiscal year. However, we cannot
assure you that any particular sales levels of ABELCET, ADAGEN, ONCASPAR,
DEPOCYT or PEG-INTRON will be achieved or maintained.

Contract revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased
to $268,000 as compared to $84,000 in the previous year. The increase was
related to revenue received from the licensing of our PEG technology to
SkyePharma. In connection with such licensing, we received a payment of $3.5
million in January 2003 which is being recognized into income based on the term
of the related agreement.

During the three months ended September 30, 2003, we had export sales and
royalties on export sales of $9.6 million, of which $8.2 million were in Europe.
Export sales and royalties recognized on export sales for the prior year quarter
were $8.1 million, of which $7.2 million were in Europe.

Cost of Sales and Manufacturing Revenue. Cost of sales and manufacturing
revenue, as a percentage of net sales and manufacturing revenue increased to 41%
for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 38% for the same
period last year. The increase was due to higher cost of sales for ABELCET
manufacturing revenue and higher cost of sales for DEPOCYT.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased by
61% to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $4.1
million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to (i)
increased spending of approximately $600,000 related to our SCA collaboration
with Micromet AG, (ii) increased spending on our two late stage development
programs, PEG-Camptothecin and ATG Fresenius S, of approximately $900,000, and
(iii) increased payroll related expenses of approximately $500,000 and other
expenses of approximately $500,000 related to our internal research and
preclinical activities.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased by 187% to
$11.2 million, as compared to $3.9 million in the same period last year. The
increase was primarily due to (i) increased sales and marketing expense of
approximately $5.6 million related to the ABELCET acquisition and the sales
force acquired from Elan, (ii) increased sales and marketing expense of
approximately $700,000 related to the establishment of an oncology sales force
for ONCASPAR and DEPOCYT and (iii) increased general and administrative
personnel and other costs of approximately $1.0 million.

Amortization. Amortization expense increased to $3.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $35,000 in the same period last
year as a result of the intangible assets acquired in connection with the
ABELCET acquisition during November 2002. Amortization of intangible assets is
provided over their estimated lives ranging from 1-15 years on a straight-line
basis.

Other Income/Expense. Interest and dividend income for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 decreased to $474,000, as compared to $3.5 million for
the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in our
interest-bearing investments resulting from our purchase of the ABELCET Product
Line in November 2002 for a cash payment of $360.0 million, plus acquisition
costs, as well as a decrease in interest rates. Interest expense remained
unchanged from the same period last year. Interest expense is related to the
$400.0 million in 4.5% convertible subordinated notes, which were outstanding
for both periods. Other income increased to $307,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, due to income recognized with the respect to the Collar
associated with the 1.5 million shares of NPS common stock we hold.

Income Taxes. During the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 we
recognized net tax expense of approximately $1.6 million and $261,000,
respectively. The Company recognized a tax provision for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 at an estimated annual effective tax rate of 36%, which is
based on the projected income tax expense and taxable income for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2004.

At June 30, 2003, the Company recognized approximately $67.5 million as a
net deferred tax asset related to the expected future products, since management
concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be
realized, including the net operating losses from operating activities and stock
option exercises, based on future operations. As of September 30, 2003, the
Company retained a valuation allowance of $12.8 million with respect to certain
capital losses and credits is uncertain and will continue to reassess the need
for such valuation allowance based on the future operating performance of the
Company.

The tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2002 represents
the Company's anticipated Alternative Minimum Tax liability based on the
anticipated taxable income for the full fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants discuss their
most "critical accounting policies" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The SEC indicated that a
"critical accounting policy" is one which is both important to the portrayal of
the company's financial condition and results of operations and requires
management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain.

Our consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with
accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States. All
professional accounting standards effective as of September 30, 2003 have been
taken into consideration in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and
complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following accounting policies have been highlighted as significant because
changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could
affect our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues from product sales and manufacturing revenue are recognized at
the time of shipment and a provision is made at that time for estimated future
credits, chargebacks, sales discounts, rebates and returns. These sales
provision accruals are presented as a reduction of the accounts receivable
balances. We continually monitor the adequacy of the accruals by comparing the
actual payments to the estimates used in establishing the accruals. We ship
product to customers primarily FOB shipping point and utilize the following
criteria to determine appropriate revenue recognition: pervasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, selling price is fixed and
determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Royalties under our license agreements with third parties are recognized
when earned through the sale of the product by the licensor. We do not
participate in the selling or marketing of products for which we receive
royalties.

Contract revenues are recorded as the earnings process is completed.
Non-refundable milestone payments that represent the completion of a separate
earnings process are recognized as revenue when earned, upon the occurrence of
contract-specified events and when the milestone has substance. Non-refundable
payments received upon entering into license and other collaborative agreements
where we have continuing involvement are recorded as deferred revenue and
recognized ratably over the estimated service period.

Under the asset and liability method of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A
valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets is provided for when it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. We have significant net deferred tax assets, primarily related to net
operating loss carryforwards, and continue to analyze what level of the
valuation allowance is needed.

We assess the carrying value of our cost method investments in accordance
with SFAS No. 115 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59. An impairment
write-down is recorded when a decline in the value of an investment is
determined to be other-than-temporary. These determinations involve a
significant degree of judgment and are subject to change as facts and
circumstances change.


16


In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible
assets determined to have an indefinite useful life acquired in a purchase
business combination are not subject to amortization, are tested at least
annually for impairment, and are tested for impairment more frequently if events
and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is
reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value to its fair value.
Recoverability of amortizable intangible assets is determined by comparing the
carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted net cash flow to be
generated by the asset. The evaluations involve amounts that are based on
management's best estimate and judgment. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. If recorded values are less than the fair values, no impairment is
indicated. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimated
useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following discussion about our exposure to market risk of financial
instruments contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ
materially from those described.

Our holdings of financial instruments are comprised of debt securities and
time deposits. All such instruments are classified as securities
available-for-sale. We do not invest in portfolio equity securities or
commodities or use financial derivatives for trading purposes. Our debt security
portfolio represents funds held temporarily pending use in our business and
operations. We manage these funds accordingly. We seek reasonable assuredness of
the safety of principal and market liquidity by investing in rated fixed income
securities while at the same time seeking to achieve a favorable rate of return.
Our market risk exposure consists principally of exposure to changes in interest
rates. Our holdings are also exposed to the risks of changes in the credit
quality of issuers. We typically invest the majority of our investments in the
shorter-end of the maturity spectrum, and at September 30, 2003 all of our
holdings were in instruments maturing in three years or less.

The table below presents the principal amounts and related weighted
average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio as of
September 30, 2003 (in thousands):



2004 2005 2006 Total Fair Value
---- ---- ---- ----- ----------

Fixed Rate $24,664 $27,628 $40,105 $92,397 $92,519
Average Interest Rate 3.31% 1.78% 2.18% 2.36% --
Variable Rate -- -- -- -- --
Average Interest Rate -- -- -- -- --
------- ------- ------- ------- -------
$24,664 $27,628 $40,105 $92,397 $92,519
======= ======= ======= ======= =======


Our 4.5% convertible subordinated notes in the principal amount of $400.0
million due July 1, 2008 have fixed interest rates. The fair value of the notes
was approximately $335.0 million at September 30, 2003. The fair value of fixed
interest rate convertible notes is affected by changes in interest rates and by
changes in the price of our common stock.

As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources, in August 2003, we
entered into a Zero Cost Protective Collar arrangement (the "Collar") with a
financial institution to reduce the exposure associated with the 1.5 million
shares of common stock of NPS we received as part of the merger termination
agreement with NPS.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September
30, 2003, the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date").
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information
relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
