PART I

Item 1.                        Business.

General

CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries is a specialty pharmaceutical company currently focused on developing and marketing innovative proprietary medical therapies to the dermatology market. We currently market three prescription pharmaceutical products to the dermatology market through our professional dermatology sales force and generate revenues from four prescription pharmaceutical products that we continue to sell to the dental market.

Our strategy is to become a leading developer and marketer of innovative prescription pharmaceutical products to the dermatology market. We intend to continue to market our current products and develop and launch new products based on our proprietary platform technologies as well as other technologies. Our lead development candidates are: Oracea™, for which a New Drug Application, or NDA, is currently under review by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the treatment of rosacea; incyclinide (formerly known as COL-3), which is currently in Phase II dose-finding clinical trials for the treatment of acne; COL-118, a pre-clinical topical compound based upon the SansRosa technology that we are developing for the treatment of erythema (skin redness) associated with dermatological conditions; and our Restoraderm® Dermal Drug Delivery System, which is currently under development.

Our marketed dermatology products are: Pandel®, a prescription corticosteroid; Alcortin™, a prescription topical antifungal steroid combination; and Novacort™, a prescription topical steroid and anesthetic. In May 2002, we executed a sublicense agreement with Altana Inc. to market and distribute Pandel to dermatologists in the United States and Puerto Rico. In June 2005, we executed a Promotion and Cooperation Agreement with Primus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Primus, to market Alcortin and Novacort to dermatologists.

Our original dental product, Periostat®, is an orally administered, prescription pharmaceutical product that was approved by the FDA in September 1998 for the treatment of adult periodontitis. We launched Periostat in January 1999, and by 2005 Periostat was the largest branded prescription pharmaceutical product in the dental market. Between April 2004 and June 2005, we also sold a separately branded version of Periostat to United Research Laboratories, Inc./Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc., or Mutual, pursuant to a License and Supply Agreement executed in April 2004 as part of a settlement of our outstanding patent litigation with Mutual. On May 20, 2005, we terminated our dental sales force and promotional activities for Periostat following the introduction of a third party generic version of the product and, as a result of this generic launch, Mutual ceased purchasing product from us during June 2005. We also discontinued the promotion of our other dental products on May 20, 2005. We continue to generate sales from Periostat and the other dental products, which include Atridox®, Atrisorb FreeFlow® and Atrisorb-D®, also referred to as the Atrix Products, and are licensed from Atrix Laboratories, Inc. (now known as QLT USA, Inc.). Based on data provided by a leading independent prescription tracking service, we estimate that Periostat’s share of the 20 mg doxycycline market was approximately 14% at December 31, 2005.

In addition to our marketed products, we have a pipeline of product candidates in clinical and preclinical development. These products are based on our proprietary platform technologies, IMPACS™, SansRosa™ and Restoraderm.

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. Oracea and incyclinide are IMPACS compounds currently in clinical development for the treatment of rosacea and acne, respectively. Our 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 SansRosa technology, which we acquired in connection with the acquisition of SansRosa Pharmaceutical Development Inc., or SansRosa,




in December 2005, is a class of compounds that have shown promise in reducing the redness associated with rosacea, and we intend to formulate and develop a topical treatment for rosacea based on one or more of these compounds. Our Restoraderm technology is a proprietary, foam-based, topical drug delivery technology that originated from a Swedish collaborator. We have acquired all rights, title and interest to the Restoraderm technology. We have formulated various prescription and over the counter products based on the Restoraderm technology, although we do not currently have a timetable for either the initiation of clinical development or the launch of any Restoraderm products.

We recently completed two Phase III clinical trials for our leading IMPACS product development candidate, Oracea, for the treatment of rosacea, a dermatological condition. Oracea is a modified release formulation of a sub-anti-microbial dose of doxycycline, the same active ingredient as Periostat. On June 6, 2005, we announced the results of our two double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical studies for Oracea. The two Phase III clinical trials were identical in design and conducted concurrently. Both studies achieved their primary endpoint by demonstrating a greater reduction in inflammatory lesion count from baseline for the Oracea-treated patients compared to the patients receiving placebo. In the two trials, patients receiving Oracea experienced a 61% and 46% mean reduction in inflammatory lesions compared to 29% and 20% mean reduction in patients receiving placebo. On August 3, 2005, we announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, had published on its website that U.S. Patent Application, serial no. 10/117,709, had been allowed. This patent covers the use of sub-anti-microbial tetracyclines, including Oracea, and non-antimicrobial tetracyclines, including incyclinide, for the treatment of acne and acne rosacea. This patent application has a priority date of April 5, 2002 and an expiration date 20 years from that date. We submitted our NDA for Oracea to the FDA on August 1, 2005. On October 3, 2005, we announced that the NDA for Oracea had been accepted for review by the FDA. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target date for reviewing the submission is May 31, 2006.

In April 2005, we announced the completion of a Phase II proof-of-concept clinical trial for our second generation IMPACS compound, incyclinide, for the treatment of rosacea. On August 2, 2005, the results from this Phase II clinical trial evaluating incyclinide as a treatment for rosacea were presented at a major dermatology conference. The Phase II trial was designed to establish proof of principle for incyclinide as a potential treatment for inflammatory dermatologic conditions. In this double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial, patients were administered either incyclinide or placebo once a day for 28 days. The study achieved its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant, greater reduction in inflammatory lesion count from baseline for the incyclinide treated patients compared to patients on placebo. On September 26, 2005, we announced the initiation of a Phase II, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-finding clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of incyclinide for the treatment of acne. This trial will enroll approximately 300 patients at approximately 20 investigational centers throughout the United States. The trial will evaluate three dosage strengths of incyclinide and a placebo over a 12-week period with the objective of determining a dose for Phase III testing. We anticipate that the “last patient out” date will take place by the end of 2006. On November 9, 2005, we announced that the National Institutes of Health had awarded a grant of approximately $962,000 for additional research and development of incyclinide.

On December 14, 2005, we executed a Share Purchase Agreement, or the SansRosa Purchase Agreement, with SansRosa and all of the existing shareholders of SansRosa, or the SansRosa Shareholders, pursuant to which we acquired 51% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of SansRosa. SansRosa is the assignee of certain U.S. Patent Cooperation Treaty and foreign patent applications covering methods for treatment of redness associated with rosacea and other skin disorders. Under the SansRosa Purchase Agreement, we have a right to purchase all of the remaining shares of SansRosa capital stock upon the achievement of specified regulatory and development milestones. If all milestones are achieved and a patented product is developed and approved for sale, we will pay the shareholders of

2




SansRosa an additional $4.0 million to $6.0 million. The agreement also provides for earn-out payments linked to future product sales.

On December 15, 2005, we executed a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement with each of the holders of our outstanding Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D Stock, pursuant to which, among other things, the Series D stockholders agreed to effect an exchange, or the Exchange, whereby we exchanged all 200,000 outstanding shares of our Series D Stock for 200,000 shares of our Series D-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D-1 Stock.

Through the Exchange, the Series D stockholders have agreed to, among other things (i) permanently waive their right to approve our research and development expenditures in excess of $7.0 million annually in exchange for a reduction in the conversion price of the Series D Stock from $9.89 per share to $8.50 per share, and (ii) a reduction in the number of consecutive trading days during which the closing price of our common stock must exceed two times the conversion price of the Series D-1 Stock before we can require mandatory conversion of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock into common stock from 40 trading days to 30 trading days. As a result of the Exchange, the price at or above which our common stock must initially trade for such 30-day period before we can require mandatory conversion of the Series D-1 Stock, has been reduced from $19.78 per share to $17.00 per share.

On December 21, 2005, we entered into definitive agreements with institutional and other investors to sell 2.9 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of $29.0 million. The first closing of this transaction, for $15.5 million of the gross proceeds, was held on December 23, 2005. The second closing of the transaction, for $13.5 million of the gross proceeds, occurred on January 6, 2006. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $27.1 million after deducting the placement agency fees and all offering expenses that were payable by us. Roth Capital Partners, LLC acted as placement agent and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Capital Markets acted as financial advisor to us in connection with the offering.

During 2005, we added Douglas A. Poedtke to our management team as Vice President of Sales. In September 2005, we also announced the appointment of George Lasezkay, Pharm.D., J.D., to our Board of Directors.

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 number is (215) 579-7388.

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 paid Altana an aggregate sublicense fee of $1.7 million in 2002. We purchase from Altana all Pandel products to be sold and promotional samples, and we are required to pay Altana a royalty fee equal to a percentage of the net sales of Pandel.

Alcortin and Novacort

On June 6, 2005, we executed a Promotion and Cooperation Agreement with Primus. Under this agreement, we acquired the right to promote Alcortin and Novacort to dermatologists in the United States. Alcortin (1% iodoquinol and 2% hydrocortisone) is a prescription topical antifungal steroid combination, and Novacort (2% hydrocortisone acetate and 1% pramoxine HCl) is a prescription topical steroid and anesthetic. Both products contain a proprietary Biopeptide Aloe Complex™ which is designed to improve skin penetration and help reduce inflammation. We have agreed to (i) maintain, manage and compensate a direct sales force sufficient to make the products the subject of an agreed number of detail calls in the United States, and (ii) achieve certain agreed combined levels of sales of the products during a three-year period. In exchange for our services, we earn a quarterly fee from Primus based on a percentage of the gross profit arising from prescriptions written by dermatologists that result in sales of the products in the United States. The majority of marketing expenses, excluding sales force compensation and sample product costs, related to the direct promotion of the Primus products are funded by Primus. The majority of product sample product costs and all sales force compensation are funded by us. The Promotion and Cooperation Agreement has an initial term that extends through June 30, 2008 and then renews automatically for successive additional terms of one year unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

Other Product Offerings

Periostat

Periostat, a 20 mg dose of doxycycline hyclate, is a unique sub-anti-microbial dosage strength of doxycycline that suppresses the chronic and progressive tissue degradation characteristic of adult periodontitis, without exerting any anti-microbial effect. 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. Doxycycline is an active ingredient of several FDA approved drugs and has been in use, at higher dosages, for approximately 40 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.

In September 1998, the FDA granted United States marketing approval for Periostat as an adjunct to scaling and root planing, or 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. In May 2005, a third party generic version of Periostat was introduced to the dental market, and we discontinued all direct selling and promotional activities for Periostat. We had also sold a separately branded version of Periostat to Mutual pursuant to a License and Supply Agreement executed in April 2004 as part of a settlement of our outstanding patent litigation with Mutual. As a result of the launch of a third party generic version of Periostat in May 2005, Mutual ceased purchasing product from us during June 2005.

Atridox, Atrisorb FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D

Pursuant to the terms of an exclusive License and Marketing Agreement that we executed with Atrix Laboratories, Inc. (now known as QLT USA, Inc.) in August 2001, we obtained the right to market, sell and distribute Atrix’s proprietary dental products, Atridox, Atrisorb FreeFlow and Atrisorb-D to the United States dental community.

Atridox is a locally-applied, anti-microbial therapy for the treatment of chronic adult periodontitis. Atridox uses Atrix’s 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

5




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 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.

On February 22, 2006, we amended our License and Marketing Agreement with QLT, and have agreed to continue to sell the Atrix Products through our distributor and pay an increased royalty on net sales and an increased transfer price, but we are no longer required to make annual minimum expenditures for advertising and promotional activities. In May 2005, we discontinued all direct selling and promotional activities for the Atrix Products. Pursuant to the amended agreement, either party may terminate the License and Marketing Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon six (6) months prior written notice. The amendment extends the term of the License and Marketing Agreement through December 31, 2007.

Our Previously Marketed Products

Vioxx

Pursuant to a Co-Promotion Agreement we executed with Merck & Co., Inc., or Merck, 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. 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, 2005, we recorded $153,000 in residual contract revenues under this agreement. We do not expect to earn any further residual contract revenues from this agreement beyond December 31, 2005.

AVAR

In March 2003, we executed co-promotion agreements with Sirius Laboratories, Inc. pursuant to which we jointly marketed Sirius Laboratories’ AVAR™ product line and Pandel to dermatologists in the United States. These agreements were mutually terminated on December 31, 2003. We did not receive any revenue during the years ended December 31, 2004 or December 31, 2005 and do not expect to receive any future contract revenues from AVAR.

Denavir

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 years ended

6




December 31, 2004 or December 31, 2005 and do not expect to receive any future contract revenues from Novartis with respect to Denavir.

Sales and Marketing

On May 16, 2005, we announced the restructuring of our sales force following the FDA’s approval of a third-party generic version of Periostat. As a result of the restructuring, we discontinued all direct selling promotional activities for our dental products and, as of December 31, 2005, employed a 33-person, dedicated dermatology sales force. We are currently expanding our sales force to 80 professionals in preparation for an anticipated approval and launch of Oracea during 2006.

We produce educational marketing materials, detail aids and product samples that are used extensively by our representatives in their presentations to dermatology professionals. We also focus on providing continuing medical education programs and convention activities.

Sales training is an important component of our sales and marketing efforts. New representatives receive four weeks of field training and three weeks of intensive office training in 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.

Manufacturing, Distribution and Suppliers

In 1995, we entered into a supply agreement with Hovione International Limited, or Hovione, 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., or PMRS, for the tablet formulation of Periostat. This agreement was terminated at the time a generic 20 mg doxycycline hyclate tablet became available on the market. We now purchase the tablet formulation of Periostat from PMRS on a purchase order basis. Currently, PMRS is the sole third-party contract manufacturer to supply a tablet formulation of Periostat to us. 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 LaVergne, 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 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, as amended, SPD will also provide certain additional services, including marketing, sales detail report production and contract administration. The Wholesale Service Agreement had an initial term of three years and renews automatically for successive one-year periods unless notice of termination is provided by either party 90 days prior to expiration.

In October 2005, we entered into an agreement with a third party provider pursuant to which we have agreed to pay monthly invoiced costs and expenses in exchange for certain research and development services, process development and material preparation services relating to incyclinide.

In March 2006, we executed a Commercial Manufacturing Agreement effective December 31, 2005 with Cardinal Health PTS, LLC, or PTS, pursuant to which PTS has agreed to manufacture Oracea for us. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we agree to (i) furnish to PTS on a monthly basis a rolling forecast of product quantities for the subsequent twelve-month period, the first three months of which shall become binding, and (ii) pay PTS a fee for the product, subject to an annual adjustment. The Commercial Manufacturing Agreement has an initial term of four years unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms.

Customers/Backlog

During 2005, sales to Cardinal Health, Inc., McKesson Corporation, Amerisource Bergen Corporation and Mutual, represented approximately 37%, 24%, 12% and 22%, respectively, of our aggregate net product sales. We do not sell our products directly to drug chain retailers, supermarkets, independent pharmacies or other mass merchants.

Historically in the pharmaceutical wholesale distribution industry, wholesalers were speculative in their purchasing practices in anticipation of manufacturer product price increases. To manage this process, we maintain an Inventory Management Agreement with a major wholesale customer. Under this agreement we are provided with weekly retail product demand information and current stocking levels for our products; additionally this wholesaler has agreed to manage the variability of its purchases within specified limits. In return we provide this wholesaler the right to purchase a specific amount of inventory from us at the sales price in effect immediately prior to announced price increases.

In April 2005, we also executed Distribution Services Agreements with two wholesalers pursuant to which we agree to pay a percentage of the net invoice cost in exchange for certain product distribution, inventory management and administrative services.

Research and Development

Overview

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 research and development of novel and/or known compounds for application in a variety of inflammatory and tissue-destructive disorders.

Technology

Our core technology is the IMPACS technology and is licensed from SUNY. It involves the use 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 structure elements responsible for their antibiotic activity removed. These compounds inhibit the destruction of the connective tissues of the body and down-regulate the pathological host response to a variety of external and internal mediators of inflammation and tissue destruction.

8




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 numerous other disorders and conditions, including, but not to those in dermatology, such as acne and rosacea.

Our license from SUNY also covers certain compounds that have shown potential in a number of preclinical models of excessive connective tissue breakdown. Our current research and development programs focus on the potential use of IMPACS compounds 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 which we have conducted over the last three years include: (i) Oracea for the treatment of rosacea; (ii) the development of a “once-a-day” formulation of Periostat (Periostat-MR™), which was discontinued in 2005; (iii) the development of incyclinide for acne; and (iv) the development of our Restoraderm platform.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a condition that affects approximately 13.6 million adults in the United States. Rosacea affects primarily the face and is typically characterized by the appearance of inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules and nodules), erythema (skin redness) and telangiectasia (spider veins). If allowed to progress to a moderate or severe condition, rosacea can cause itching, pain and thickening of the skin. In severe cases, a disfiguring enlargement of the nose can develop, a condition known as rhinophyma.

In June 2005, we announced the positive outcome of two Phase III double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical studies designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Oracea, doxycycline (controlled release capsules) 40 mg, for the treatment of rosacea. The two double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical studies were identical in design and conducted concurrently.

Patients were administered either Oracea or placebo once a day for 16 weeks. A total of 537 patients were enrolled in 28 centers across the United States. At baseline, Oracea and placebo patients had a mean lesion count of 20.0 and 20.8, respectively. Using the Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) score, a subjective 5-point scale measuring disease severity, more than 90% of all patients in both treatment groups were characterized as moderately to severely affected.

Both studies achieved their primary endpoint by demonstrating a greater reduction in inflammatory lesion count from baseline for the Oracea-treated patients compared to the placebo controls. In the two studies, patients receiving Oracea experienced a 61% and 46% mean reduction in inflammatory lesions compared to 29% and 20%, respectively, in patients receiving placebo. The differences were clinically and statistically significant (p-values of less than 0.001 in each study).

As secondary endpoints, the change in IGA score and the “dichotomized” IGA at week 16 were analyzed. “Dichotomized” IGA measures the percentage of patients who were clear or near clear at the end of the study. Oracea-treated patients fared much better than placebo patients as evidenced by a statistically significant change from baseline in IGA with p-values of less than 0.001 and p=0.004 for the

9




two studies, respectively. In the analysis of “dichotomized” IGA, there was a statistically significant, greater number of patients who were clear or near clear at the end of the study in the Oracea group compared to the placebo group, with p=0.036 and p=0.012, respectively.

Another secondary endpoint was the analysis of the change in erythema over the course of the study. In one study, erythema showed a trend towards improvement. In the second study, the reduction in erythema achieved statistical significance as erythema scores improved from 9.7 at baseline to 7.0 at week 16 (p=0.017).

The total expenses incurred through December 31, 2005 relating to the development of Oracea were approximately $8.0 million. We expect to incur an additional $4.7 million in 2006 to complete the development, including potential future milestone payments.

Oracea

The development of a modified release technology for Oracea is being conducted in part through an agreement with Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Supernus, successor in interest to Shire Laboratories, Inc. Several patent applications relating to the new formulation have been filed with the USPTO and through the United States Patent Cooperation Treaty. We have incurred approximately $830,000 in milestone costs related to development work for a modified release formulation through December 31, 2005. The total future possible milestone payments that may be payable to Supernus related to the modified release formulation for Oracea are estimated to be $2.7 million. The possible future payments relate primarily to regulatory approval milestones, both domestic and international, of products utilizing the Supernus technology and domestic launch of such products.

COL-118

In December 2005, we announced that we executed the SansRosa Purchase Agreement with SansRosa. SansRosa is the assignee of certain U.S. Patent Cooperation Treaty and foreign patent applications covering methods for the treatment of redness associated with rosacea and other skin disorders.

Payment for shares of SansRosa will be made in installments tied to the achievement of various product development milestones. We will be solely responsible for product and clinical development. We made an initial payment of $750,000 for 51% of the shares of SansRosa. The remaining shares will be purchased upon the achievement of various milestones. If all milestones are achieved and a patented product is developed and approved for sale, we could pay the shareholders of SansRosa an additional $4.0 million to $6.0 million. The agreement also provides for earn-out payments linked to future product sales.

Restoraderm

In February 2002, we announced that we had licensed Restoraderm, a topical drug delivery technology. 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, or 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 milestone and sublicense fees had been paid by us. We paid an additional $150,000 in 2005. While we are currently conducting some formulation and stability work on products incorporating our Restoraderm technology, we have not developed a timetable for clinical development or commercial

10




launch. Accordingly, it is premature to estimate other future costs associated with the Restoraderm technology.

The Restoraderm technology is a unique, proprietary dermal drug delivery system, designed to enhance the dermal delivery of a variety of active ingredients and we believe it may be used 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 under development, and we continue to evaluate a number of Restoraderm product opportunities and their potential contribution to our portfolio of pipeline products.

IMPACS

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, our first FDA-approved IMPACS compound, and Oracea, our modified release formulation, include the same active ingredient. We have completed Phase III clinical trials for each of Periostat and Oracea to demonstrate their safety and efficacy in treating adult periodontitis and rosacea, respectively.

Incyclinide in Acne

incyclinide is a second generation compound from our IMPACS technology and has demonstrated a range of potent anti-inflammatory activities in various preclinical and clinical studies. In 2005, we announced results from a Phase II clinical trial evaluating incyclinide as a treatment for rosacea.

The Phase II study was designed to establish proof of principle for incyclinide as a potential treatment for a dermatologic condition. In this double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical study, patients were administered either incyclinide or placebo once a day for 28 days. Data was collected at baseline, day 14, day 28 and day 42. Primary efficacy parameters measured the changes from baseline to endpoint (day 42) in total inflammatory lesion count and the clinician’s erythema score.

The study enrolled 14 patients with a mean age of 50.1 years. Eight patients received 10 mg of incyclinide once daily and six patients received placebo once daily. At baseline, incyclinide and placebo patients had mean lesion counts of 23.4 and 23.0, respectively. Using the IGA score, the two patient groups were characterized as moderately to severely affected by the disease.

The study achieved its primary endpoint, demonstrating a greater reduction in inflammatory lesion count from baseline for the incyclinide treated patients compared to the patients on placebo. At endpoint (day 42), incyclinide patients had a mean reduction of 12.8 lesions while placebo patients showed an increase of 2.3 lesions. This difference was statistically significant (p=0.0213). Importantly, the onset of action was rapid, with approximately 80% of the reduction in lesion count observed at day 42 was already present at day 14. At endpoint, 75% of all incyclinide treated patients were clear or near clear of disease symptoms as measured by the IGA score. Erythema showed a slightly better improvement in the incyclinide group, with a 2.5 point reduction in the clinician’s erythema assessment score for the incyclinide group compared to a 1.7 point reduction for the placebo group. Incyclinide was well-tolerated and the adverse event profile was unremarkable.

Based on these encouraging results, we announced the initiation of a Phase II, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-finding clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of incyclinide for the treatment of acne. This study will enroll 300 patients with moderate to severe acne at approximately 20 investigational centers throughout the United States. The study design will evaluate three dosage strengths of incyclinide and a placebo over a 12-week period with the objective of determining a dose for Phase III testing. We anticipate that the last dose will be administered by the end of 2006.

11




incyclinide has also been in human clinical trials under the sponsorship of the National Cancer Institute for the treatment of various cancers, including HIV-related Kaposi’s sarcoma. A clinical trial that involved 75 patients who were administered solely incyclinide, showed a statistically significant tumor response rate from baseline. The study will be published in the March 20th issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. We intend to evaluate incyclinide as a treatment for acne during 2006. The total future anticipated expenses related to the development of incyclinide for acne are currently estimated to be $32.0 million at this time.

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 $14.0 million, $8.8 million, $5.5 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We expect to increase our investment in research and development to approximately $17.0 million in 2006.

Patents, Trade Secrets and Licenses

Our Patents

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 licensed products, with minimum annual royalty payments of $50,000 per year. The term of the license is until the later of: (i) the expiration of the last to expire of the licensed patents in each country; or (ii) 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. Over eighty patents have been issued in foreign countries. All of SUNY’s United States and foreign patents expire between 2004 and 2023.

On June 10, 2002, we executed a Development and Licensing Agreement with Supernus (successor in interest to Shire) pursuant to which we were granted an exclusive worldwide license (including the right to sublicense) to use Supernus 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 Supernus. We have committed to pay Supernus 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. The total future milestone payments that may be payable to Supernus related to the modified release formulation for Oracea are estimated to be $2.7 million. These possible future payments

12




relate primarily to regulatory approval, both domestic and international, of products utilizing the Supernus technology and domestic launch of such products.

As well as the patents and patent applications licensed from SUNY, which represent the core technology, and the technology licensed from Supernus, we own additional technology for which applications for United States patents have been filed and have been issued. This includes various independently developed inventions relating to the uses of tetracyclines, as well as the SansRosa technology and the Restoraderm technology. A total of eight United States patents are issued, and approximately fifteen United States patent applications are pending, relative to these technologies. Applications corresponding to each are pending pursuant to the United States Patent Cooperation Treaty in various foreign jurisdictions.

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, Alcortin and Novacort 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. Both before and after approval or clearance of our products, failure to comply with FDA requirements may subject us to administrative or judicial sanctions, such as the FDA’s 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 any of our product candidates may be marketed in the United States include:

·       preclinical 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.

Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, toxicity, and formulation, as well as animal studies. The results of the preclinical 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 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

13




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. The Atrix Products 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 Oracea, even though it has the same active ingredient as Periostat, we will be required to obtain an additional FDA approval.

The FDA is currently reviewing our application for approval of Oracea. The FDA has specified May 31, 2006 as the target date by which it is expected to complete its review. The FDA may not meet its target date, and it may not approve our application on that date, or at all. As a condition of approval of an application, the FDA may require postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the drug’s 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.

We market two products, Alcortin and Novacort, under a Promotion and Cooperation Agreement with Primus. Neither product has an approved NDA; whether either or both requires an NDA at this time is unclear. If the FDA believes that an approved NDA is required, it could at any time seek one or more of the administrative or judicial sanctions listed above, the result of which could be that we could no longer market these products.

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 and for market exclusivity for new chemical entities and for chemical entities approved for new indications. The FDA considered Periostat to be an antibiotic drug, and as such in a class of drugs for which optimal protection was not available. The decision in January 2005 by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to uphold the FDA’s classification of Periostat as an antibiotic drug meant that it was 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-anti-microbial doxycycline compounds, such as Oracea, will also be considered antibiotic drugs.

14




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 control and manufacturing procedures must continue to conform to the FDA’s 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 to maintain compliance with manufacturing requirements 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 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

Dental

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. In May 2005, a third party generic version of Periostat was introduced to the dental market and we discontinued all selling and promotional activities for Periostat and the Atrix Products. We had also sold a separately branded version of Periostat to Mutual pursuant to a License and Supply Agreement executed in April 2004. As a result of the launch of a third party generic version of Periostat in May 2005, Mutual ceased purchasing product from us during June 2005. Based on data provided by a leading independent prescription tracking service, we estimate that Periostat’s share of the 20 mg doxycycline market was approximately 14% at December 31, 2005. As a result of this decline, we have been forced to reduce our reliance on Periostat and our selling resources devoted to Periostat and the Atrix Products.

Dermatology

The market for dermatology products is characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition and a strong emphasis on proprietary products. We face competition from many different sources, including commercial pharmaceutical and biotechnology enterprises, technology companies, such as laser therapy providers and cosmeceutical companies.

Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources and experience in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than we do. Smaller or early stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. Our commercial opportunity will be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, have fewer side effects, are easier to administer or are less expensive than any products that we may develop. These third parties compete with us in recruiting and

15




retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies and technology licenses complementary to our programs or advantageous to our business.

If approved by the FDA, Oracea will compete against branded and generic oral tetracycline products, and topical formulations such as branded and generic metronidazole, azelaic acid and sodium sulfacetamide/sulfur products. Many of these products have been sold and promoted for years and have been established as useful and safe in the treatment of rosacea.

There are also many companies and academic and research institutions researching and developing potential treatments for acne and rosacea. Some of these companies are large pharmaceutical companies, while others are smaller companies that may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Companies with products either commercial or in human clinical trials include Connetics Corporation, Allergan, Inc., Roche Inc., Galderma Laboratories, L.P., Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, Dusa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and numerous generic pharmaceutical manufacturers.

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, 2005, we employed 80 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, 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.

Such factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those factors discussed below. We undertake no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer.

We are depending heavily on the success of our most advanced product candidate, Oracea, for the treatment of rosacea, which is still under regulatory review. If we are unable to obtain approval for and commercialize Oracea, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business will be materially harmed.

We have invested a significant portion of our recent efforts and financial resources in the development of our most advanced product candidate, Oracea, for the treatment of rosacea. Our ability to

16




generate substantial product revenues from Oracea, if ever, will depend heavily on the successful development and commercialization of Oracea. The success of Oracea will depend on several factors, including the following:

·       receipt of marketing approvals from the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities; and

·       acceptance of the product by patients, the medical community and third party payors.

If we are unable to obtain FDA approval for and successfully commercialize Oracea, we may never realize revenue from this product candidate and we may have to curtail our other product development programs. As a result, our business would be materially harmed.

We cannot rely on regulatory protections to prevent the approval of generic equivalents of our products.

In connection with the regulatory approval process, some approved new drug products can obtain exclusivity that will prevent generic versions of the products from entering the marketplace for a period of time. In the United States, market exclusivity is available for new chemical entities and for significant changes in already approved drug products, such as a new use.

Market exclusivity is, however, not available to drugs that contain an active ingredient that has already been approved as an antibiotic. On January 19, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia upheld the FDA’s application of this principle to Periostat and determined that Periostat was not entitled to market exclusivity because its active ingredient, doxycycline, had previously been approved as an antibiotic. Because Oracea also contains doxycycline as its active ingredient, it will also not be entitled to market exclusivity.

In the European Community regulatory market exclusivity is a function of how long the competent authorities may determine that data submitted in marketing approval applications may not be referenced by others. The period of so-called data exclusivity to which a new product may be entitled can vary from eleven years to none at all. This depends on how a product is classified and can turn on the application of regulatory standards of which there has been no authoritative interpretation to date. We cannot predict what period of data exclusivity, if any, may be enjoyed by Oracea in the European Community.

With limited or no market exclusivity it can be more difficult for us to prevent competitors from seeking approval for copies of our proprietary products, and in such a case the value of such products would be materially adversely affected. Without market exclusivity, generic versions of our products could quickly gain market entry if they meet regulatory approval criteria. Thus, even if we gain approval of Oracea, because it will not be entitled to patent or non-patent market exclusivity, third parties may enter the market which would materially harm our business.

If we are not able to obtain and enforce patent protection for Oracea or our other discoveries, our ability to commercialize our product candidates successfully will be harmed and we may not be able to operate our business profitably.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under the patent and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries, so that we can prevent others from using our inventions and proprietary information. However, we may not hold proprietary rights to some patents related to our current or future products and technologies. Because patent applications in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all, and because publications of discoveries in scientific literature lag behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we were the first to make the inventions claimed in issued patents or pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file for protection of the inventions set forth in our patent applications. There are, for instance, patent applicants that claim to have invented elements of the SansRosa technology prior to SansRosa’s patent application filing date. As a result, we

17




may be required to obtain licenses under third-party patents to market our proposed products. If licenses are not available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, we will not be able to market the affected products.

Our strategy depends on our ability to identify our discoveries rapidly and to seek patent protection for them. This process is expensive and time consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may be able to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The issuance of a patent does not guarantee that it is valid or enforceable, so even if we obtain patents, they may not be valid or enforceable against third parties. In addition, the issuance of a patent does not guarantee that we have the right to practice the patented invention. Third parties may have blocking patents that could be used to prevent us from marketing our own patented product and practicing our own patented technology.

Our pending patent applications may not result in issued patents. The patent position of pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, including ours, is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual considerations. The standards which the USPTO and its foreign counterparts use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change. There is also no uniform, worldwide policy regarding the subject matter and scope of claims granted or allowable in pharmaceutical or biotechnology patents. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary information to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and many companies have encountered significant problems and costs in protecting their proprietary information in these foreign countries. Accordingly, we do not know the degree of future protection for our proprietary rights or the breadth of claims allowed in any patents issued to us or to others. The allowance of broader claims may increase the incidence and cost of patent interference proceedings and/or opposition proceedings, and the risk of infringement litigation. On the other hand, the allowance of narrower claims may limit the value of our proprietary rights.

If issued, our patent for Oracea may not contain claims sufficiently broad to protect us against third parties with similar products, or provide us with any competitive advantage. Moreover, once issued, any of our patents may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, the patent rights in our products that derive from claims under method of use patents may be hard to assert or enforce if medical professionals prescribe similar (including generic), though non-approved, doxycycline products for indications covered by our patents. If our patents are invalidated or otherwise limited, other companies will be better able to develop products and technologies that compete with ours, which could adversely affect our competitive business position, business prospects and financial condition.

We cannot assure you that our pursuit of business in the dermatology market will be successful.

We continue to implement our plans to expand into the dermatology market. We recently submitted an NDA with the FDA for Oracea to treat rosacea, and we continue to seek additional product licensing opportunities to enhance our near-term offerings to the dermatology market. We have also been allowed by the USPTO a patent for the use of sub-anti-microbial tetracyclines for the treatment of acne and acne rosacea, including Oracea.

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 or excessive cost to manufacture and/or the infringement of

18




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.

If we are not able to obtain required regulatory approvals, we will not be able to commercialize our product candidates, and our ability to generate revenue will be materially impaired.

Failure to obtain regulatory approval for a product candidate will prevent us from commercializing the product candidate. Other than Periostat, we have not received regulatory approval to market any of our product candidates in any jurisdiction. We have only limited experience in filing and prosecuting the applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals. Securing FDA approval requires the submission of extensive preclinical and clinical data, information about product manufacturing processes and inspection of facilities and supporting information to the FDA for each therapeutic indication to establish the product candidate’s safety and efficacy. Our future products may not be effective, may be only moderately effective or may prove to have undesirable or unintended side effects, toxicities or other characteristics that may preclude our obtaining regulatory approval or prevent or limit commercial use.

The process of obtaining regulatory approvals is expensive, often takes many years, if approval is obtained at all, and can vary substantially based upon, among other things, the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates involved. Changes in the regulatory approval policy during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional statutes or regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted product application, may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application.

The FDA, and comparable authorities in other countries, have substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any application or may decide that our data is insufficient for approval and require additional preclinical, clinical or other studies. In addition, varying interpretations of the data obtained from preclinical and clinical testing could influence how a product candidate is classified and delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval of a product candidate. Any regulatory approval we ultimately obtain may be limited or subject to restrictions or post-approval commitments that render the product not commercially viable.

Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to the conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product.

If we lose our sole supplier of doxycycline or our manufacturer of Oracea, our sales of Oracea, if any, 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.

19




We rely on a single supplier, Hovione International Limited, or Hovione, for doxycycline, the active ingredient in Oracea. 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 achieve FDA approval for Oracea and 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 Oracea.

We entered into an agreement effective December 31, 2005 with PTS, pursuant to which PTS has agreed to manufacture Oracea for us. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we agree to (i) furnish to PTS on a monthly basis a rolling forecast of product quantities for the subsequent twelve-month period, the first three months of which shall become binding, and (ii) pay PTS a fee for the product, subject to an annual adjustment.  The agreement has an initial term of four years unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms.

We intend to contract with additional manufacturers for the commercial manufacture of an Oracea capsule.  We believe, however, that it could take up to one year to validate successfully a secondary 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 Oracea is approved by the FDA and we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities of doxycycline or Oracea on commercially reasonable terms, or in a timely manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

If the federal regulatory status of Alcortin or Novacort changes, we may be unable to continue to market one or both of these products.

We market two products, Alcortin and Novacort, under a Promotion and Cooperation Agreement with Primus. The majority of sample product costs and all sales force compensation related to our promotion of Alcortin and Novacort are funded by us. Primus is responsible for the manufacture of Alcortin and Novacort and it has not sought FDA approval for these products because it believes that no approval is required. We cannot be sure that FDA will not object to the lack of approval for these products. If the FDA were to assert that these products required approval, it could at any time seek to take administrative or judicial actions which could prevent us from marketing these products. Our inability to market these products could result in a temporary or permanent loss of revenue, which may be partially offset by a reduction in our promotional expenses related to these products.

Our products could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market and we may be subject to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements. Both before and after approval or clearance, we, our vendors and suppliers, and our products and product candidates are subject to extensive regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements could subject us to administrative and judicial sanctions.

Both before and after approval or clearance of our products, we, our products, and our manufacturers are subject to extensive regulatory requirements covering, among other things, manufacturing, advertising and promotion, labeling, adverse event reporting, post-approval commitments, registration, record-keeping, export, and distribution of samples. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements may result in:

·       restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;

·       warning letters;

20




·       withdrawal of the products from the market;

·       refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;

·       recall;

·       fines;

·       suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;

·       refusal to permit the import or export of our products;

·       product seizure; and

·       injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

We cannot predict with certainty the effect on our business of the decline in revenues generated by the dental business following the commercial launch of generic versions of Periostat and the termination of our dental sales force.

We have historically relied on sales of Periostat and Mutual’s branded version of Periostat, together with revenues generated by the other products that made up our dental business, for most of our revenue. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, Periostat and Mutual’s branded version of Periostat supplied by us (with respect to the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004), accounted for approximately 76%, 88% and 82% of our total net revenues, respectively.

On May 13, 2005, the FDA approved a third party generic version of Periostat and a generic product was launched soon thereafter in late May 2005. Upon this generic launch, Mutual was no longer obligated to purchase and is not expected to purchase their branded product from us. We do not anticipate future shipments of Mutual’s branded version of Periostat supplied by us. In addition, we have had to disband our dental sales force and delay or discontinue certain research and development activities in the dental business. Consequently, while we continue to generate cash flow from our dental business, our revenues and margins from Periostat and the other dental products we sell have decreased significantly and will likely continue to decrease as a result of the third party introduction of a generic version of Periostat. If this decrease is more significant than we expect, and is combined with slow growth in, or a lack of revenues, if any, from new products, we may experience difficulty in managing our cash, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability execute our strategies and develop our dermatology business.

We will need substantial additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs and commercialization efforts.

We expect that our research and development expenses will increase in connection with our ongoing activities and that we will incur significant commercialization expenses as we expand our marketing and sales efforts. We will need substantial additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs and commercialization activities.

We anticipate that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2005, together with the additional $11.7 million in net proceeds from the 1,350,000 additional shares of common stock sold in January 2006, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least mid-2007.  However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

·       the cost of commercialization activities, including product marketing and sales;

·       the success of our dermatology franchise;

21




·       the success of our preclinical, clinical and development programs;

·       revenues and profits from sales of Periostat, Pandel and our other product candidates, as well as the products we co-promote;

·       the terms and conditions of our outstanding Series D-1 Stock;

·       our ability to continue to meet the covenant requirements under our revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank;

·       the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other patent-related costs, including potential litigation costs and the results of such litigation;

·       the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies;

·       the costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals and clearances required to market and sell our products;

·       our ability to establish and maintain additional collaborations; and

·       the receptivity of the capital markets to our future financings.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings and corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements.  If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution.  Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.  Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences, that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, research programs or products or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

We cannot assure you that our clinical trials will be completed in a timely manner 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 or other regulatory agencies. 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.

Delays in patient enrollment in clinical 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;

22




·       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;

·       we may not be able to manufacture the investigational or commercial product in sufficient quantity or quality or at acceptable cost;

·       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.

If we infringe or are alleged to infringe intellectual property rights of third parties, it will adversely affect our business.

Our research, development and commercialization activities, as well as any product candidates or products resulting from these activities, may infringe or be claimed to infringe patents or patent applications under which we do not hold licenses or other rights. Third parties may own or control these patents and patent applications in the United States and abroad. These third parties could bring claims against us or our collaborators that would cause us to incur substantial expenses and, if successful against us, could cause us to pay substantial damages. Further, if a patent infringement suit were brought against us or our collaborators, we or they could be forced to stop or delay research, development, manufacturing or sales of the product or product candidate that is the subject of the suit.

As a result of patent infringement claims, or in order to avoid potential claims, we or our collaborators may choose or be required to seek a license from the third party and be required to pay license fees or royalties or both. These licenses may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if we or our collaborators were able to obtain a license, the rights may be nonexclusive, which could result in our competitors gaining access to the same intellectual property. Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializing a product, or be forced to cease some aspect of our business operations, if, as a result of actual or threatened patent infringement claims, we or our collaborators are unable to enter into licenses on acceptable terms. This could harm our business significantly.

23




There has been substantial litigation and other proceedings regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. In addition to infringement claims against us, we may become a party to other patent litigation and other proceedings, including interference proceedings declared by the USPTO and opposition proceedings in the European Patent Office, regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products and technology. The cost to us of any patent litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their substantially greater financial resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace. Patent litigation and other proceedings may also absorb significant management time.

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 independently to 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 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, or the SUNY License, and other academic and research institutions collaborating with SUNY. Under the SUNY License, we have an exclusive worldwide license to SUNY’s 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 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, liquidity and results of operations.

24




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 promotion and cooperation rights. We have an aggregate of $10 million in product liability insurance covering Periostat and Mutual’s branded version of Periostat, our product candidates and products for which we have licensing or promotion and cooperation rights.

Our insurer 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, incentive 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 Employees,” or APB 25, with a pro forma disclosure of the impact on net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders 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 SFAS No. 123 (revised), “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, which may be determined with references to various valuation models. These models may involve extensive and complex analysis. Statement 123R is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2006, which is the first day of our 2006 fiscal year. We are in the process of reviewing Statement 123R to determine which fair value determination model is most 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.

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.

On April 8, 2004, we settled all pending litigation between us and Mutual. As part of 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.

In connection with the settlement, we and Mutual entered into a License and Supply Agreement pursuant to which Mutual received a license to sell a branded version of Periostat and would purchase this product exclusively from us at prices below our average manufacturer’s price. The License and Supply Agreement also provided for us to make price adjustments to Mutual after a generic version of Periostat had become available on the market at a price lower than the selling price of Mutual’s branded version of Periostat. These adjustments were to take the form of rebates or credits to Mutual to reduce the acquisition cost of the branded version of Periostat in Mutual’s inventory or to offset rebates and similar retroactive price adjustments requested by, and actually provided by, Mutual to its customers. On May 13, 2005, the FDA approved a third party generic version of Periostat that was launched in late May 2005. Upon this generic launch, Mutual was no longer obligated to purchase and did not purchase its branded version of Periostat from us.

FDA

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, or the FDA Litigation, challenging the FDA’s decision

26




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. On July 23, 2003, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued an injunction in our favor. On January 20, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia reached its decision on the merits of the FDA Litigation, and dissolved the injunction that had prohibited the FDA from approving any ANDAs submitted for any generic version of Periostat. We lodged, but have now withdrawn, an appeal against this decision in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Ivax and CorePharma

On October 1, 2004, we filed a complaint for patent infringement against IVAX Pharmaceuticals Inc., or IVAX, and CorePharma LLC, or 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 sought an injunction preventing IVAX and CorePharma from introducing 20 mg tablets of doxycycline hyclate in the United States. The injunction was denied by the Court on June 16, 2005. The litigation on the merits of our patent infringement claims is still pending before the Court in the Eastern District of New York.

Under the SUNY License, we are entitled to deduct costs incurred to defend its patents, including the $2.0 million settlement payment to Mutual in April 2004, from current and future royalties due to SUNY on net sales of Periostat and sales to Mutual. We anticipate that our future legal costs in these matters relating to patent infringement and defense will be reimbursed by SUNY pursuant to the SUNY License to the extent that these legal expenses do not exceed royalties earned by SUNY. 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. The cumulative legal patent defense, litigation and settlement costs incurred as of December 31, 2005 exceed the amount of the royalties earned and payable to SUNY since our litigation commenced by approximately $4.1 million. 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.

As of March 1, 2006, the approximate number of holders of record of our common stock was 99 and the approximate number of beneficial holders of our common stock was 3,893 as of March 3, 2006.

Dividends

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 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 Stock, who now hold Series D-1 Stock as a result of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement we executed with such holders on December 15, 2005. Such 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 which expires on May 31, 2006.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The following information relates to all securities of the Company sold by us during the year ended December 31, 2005 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):

During the fourth quarter of 2005, we granted stock options pursuant to our 2005 Equity Incentive 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. The following table sets forth certain information regarding such grants during the quarter:

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations include the identification of certain trends and other statements that may predict or anticipate future business or financial results that are subject to important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Overview

CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries is a specialty pharmaceutical company currently focused on developing and marketing innovative proprietary medical therapies to the dermatology market. We currently market three prescription pharmaceutical products to the dermatology market through our professional dermatology sales force.

Our strategy is to become a leading developer and marketer of innovative prescription pharmaceutical products to the dermatology market. We intend to continue to market our current products and develop and launch new products based on our proprietary platform technologies as well as other technologies. Our lead development candidates are: Oracea™, for which a New Drug Application, or NDA, is currently under review by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the treatment of rosacea; incyclinide (formerly known as COL-3), which is currently in Phase II dose-finding clinical trials for the treatment of acne; COL-118, a pre-clinical topical compound based upon the SansRosa technology that we are developing for the treatment of erythema (skin redness) associated with dermatological conditions; and our Restoraderm Dermal Drug Delivery System, which is currently under development.

Our marketed dermatology products are: Pandel®, a prescription corticosteroid we licensed from Altana, Inc. in May 2002, Alcortin™, a prescription topical antifungal steroid combination, and Novacort™, a prescription topical steroid and anesthetic. In June 2005, we executed a Promotion and Cooperation Agreement with Primus Pharmaceuticals Inc., or Primus, to market Alcortin and Novacort to dermatologists.

We launched Periostat® in January 1999, and by 2005, Periostat was the largest branded prescription pharmaceutical product in the dental market. Between April 2004 and June 2005, we also sold a separately branded version of Periostat to United Research Laboratories, Inc./Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc., or Mutual, pursuant to a License and Supply Agreement executed in April 2004 as part of a settlement of our outstanding patent litigation with Mutual. On May 20, 2005, we terminated our dental sales force and promotion activities for Periostat following the introduction of a third party generic version of the product, and as a result of this generic launch, Mutual ceased purchasing product from us in June 2005. We also discontinued the promotion of our other dental products on May 20, 2005. We continue to generate sales from Periostat and other dental products, which all treat periodontal disease and include Atridox®, Atrisorb FreeFlow® and Atrisorb-D®, or the Atrix Products, which are licensed from Atrix Laboratories, Inc. (now known as QLT USA, Inc.).

In addition to our marketed products, we have a pipeline of product candidates in clinical and preclinical development. These products are based on our proprietary platform technologies, IMPACS™, SansRosa™ and Restoraderm®. 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. Oracea and incyclinide are IMPACS compounds currently in clinical development for the treatment of rosacea and acne, respectively. Our IMPACS technology is licensed on a perpetual basis from the Research Foundation of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, or SUNY. Our SansRosa technology was acquired in connection with our acquisition of SansRosa, and is an early stage project to develop a topical treatment (COL-118) for the redness associated with rosacea. Our Restoraderm technology is a proprietary, foam-based, topical drug delivery technology that originated from a Swedish collaborator. We

30




have acquired all rights, title and interest to the Restoraderm technology. We have formulated several potential products incorporating the Restoraderm technology with active ingredients commonly used to treat dermatological conditions, although we have not yet developed timetables for the initiation of clinical development or the commercial launch of any of these products.

We recently completed two Phase III clinical trials for our leading IMPACS product candidate, Oracea, for the treatment of rosacea, a dermatological condition. Oracea is a modified release form of a sub-anti-microbial dose of doxycycline, the same active ingredient as Periostat. We submitted our NDA for Oracea to the FDA on August 1, 2005. On October 3, 2005, we announced that the NDA for Oracea had been accepted for review by the FDA. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target date for reviewing the submission is May 31, 2006. In April 2005, we announced the completion of a Phase II proof-of-concept clinical trial for our second generation IMPACS compound, incyclinide for the treatment of rosacea. In September 2005, we initiated a 300-patient, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase II dose-finding clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of incyclinide for the treatment of acne. On November 9, 2005, we announced that the National Institutes of Health had awarded a grant of approximately $962,000 for additional research into the potent anti-inflammatory effects of incyclinide.

On December 21, 2005, we entered into definitive agreements with institutional and other investors to sell 2.9 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $29.0 million. The first closing of this transaction, for $15.5 million of the gross proceeds, was held on December 21, 2005. The second closing of this transaction, for $13.5 million of the gross proceeds, occurred on January 6, 2006. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $27.1 million after deducting the placement agency fees and all offering expenses that were payable by us. Roth Capital Partners, LLC acted as placement agent and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Capital Markets acted as financial advisor to us in connection with the offering.

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 $89.1 million at December 31, 2005.

Revenues during the year ended December 31, 2005 included approximately $25.7 million in net product sales of Periostat, Mutual’s branded version of Periostat, Pandel and the Atrix Products. During 2005, we recorded $5.6 million in sales to Mutual. The decrease in 2005 net product sales was primarily due to lower Periostat net sales as a result of the launch of a third party generic competitor in May 2005. Based on data provided by a leading independent prescription tracking service, we estimate that Periostat’s share of the doxycycline market was 14% at December 31, 2005. Contract revenues during the year ended December 31, 2005 were derived primarily from our Promotion and Cooperation Agreement with Primus and residual contract revenues from our expired agreement with Merck & Co., Inc., or Merck,

31




for Vioxx®. Licensing revenues during the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of international licensing revenues for Periostat and $132,000 in license revenue representing the unamortized portion of upfront license revenue received in 2000 from the License and Supply Agreement with Showa Yakuhin Kako Co., Ltd., which was terminated in March 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2004, contract revenues were primarily derived from residual contract revenues from our expired agreement with Merck and license revenues consisted primarily of international license fees for Periostat, including the amortization of the Showa Yakuhin Kako Co., Ltd. license.

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, Mutual’s branded version of Periostat, Pandel and the Atrix Products, as well as charges taken to reflect decreases in inventory carrying value, if any.

Cost of product sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 includes a charge of approximately $1.0 million associated with the estimated excess inventories of Periostat and Mutual’s branded version of Periostat as a result of the launch by a third party generic competitor. Cost of product sales also increased as a percentage of net product sales as a result of lower average selling prices to Mutual, a greater absorption of fixed overhead expense over a smaller net sales base and a change in product mix during the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared the year ended December 31, 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, purchased in-process research and development, statistical analysis and report writing and regulatory compliance costs (including a drug approval submission and filing fees).

Significant development projects conducted during the year ended December 31, 2005 included:

·       continuing clinical and manufacturing development work for Oracea accounted for total costs of approximately $5.0 million;

·       clinical and manufacturing development work for incyclinide was $3.1 million;

·       the initial purchase price installment for SansRosa technology totaling $750,000;

·       stability testing and formulation costs for potential products utilizing our Restoraderm technology, which accounted for total costs of approximately $1.1 million; and

·       clinical and manufacturing development and formulation work for Periostat-MR, our once daily, controlled release formulation of doxycycline, 40 mg, for the treatment of adult periodontitis, which accounted for total costs of approximately $1.3 million.

32




Personnel and direct internal overhead expenses, including consulting and regulatory costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005, were approximately $2.7 million.

We estimate that if Oracea and incyclinide are developed to the point of commercialization, the additional formulation and clinical development expenses and milestone fees expected to be incurred over the next five years would be approximately $35.0 to $38.0 million. We have discontinued all development work on Periostat-MR following the launch of generic competition to Periostat in May 2005 and our decision to exit the dental business. While we are currently conducting some formulation and stability work on products incorporating our Restoraderm technology, we have not developed a timetable for clinical development or commercial launch. Accordingly, it is premature to estimate other future costs associated with the Restoraderm technology. It is also premature to estimate future development and clinical costs associated with the SansRosa technology.

Significant development projects conducted during the year ended December 31, 2004 included:

·       clinical and manufacturing development work for Oracea which accounted for total costs of approximately $2.7 million;

·       clinical and manufacturing development and formulation work for Periostat-MR, 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

·       clinical and manufacturing development work for incyclinide was $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.

selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily attributable to decreased personnel costs as a result of the April 2004 sales force restructuring and the May 2005 termination of our dental sales and marketing activities and the corresponding reduction of 63 employees, including our dental sales force.

Legal settlement consisted of $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2004 that resulted from the accrual for a one-time payment to Mutual in connection with the settlement of all outstanding litigation between us and Mutual.

Restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted of $1.2 million related to a reorganization following the approval of a third party generic version of Periostat in May of 2005. As a result of the restructuring, we ceased all of our dental sales and marketing activities, including the termination of 63 employees. Restructuring expenses during the year ended December 31, 2004 consisted of $348,000 that resulted from the April 2004 reorganization of our sales organization into dedicated dental and dermatology sales forces. These charges consisted primarily of severance costs and the write-off of fixed assets. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had paid all but $96,000 of such restructuring charges, which related exclusively to the May 2005 restructuring.

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. 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.

Preferred Stock Dividend and Series D Preferred Stock Restructuring and Exchange

Preferred stock dividends included in net income allocable to common stockholders were $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 and $1.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2004. Such preferred stock dividends are paid in cash and are the result of our obligations in connection with the issuance of our Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D Stock, in May 1999. Pursuant to the terms of our Series D-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D-1 Stock, the holders of the Series D-1 Stock are entitled to dividends payable in cash at a current rate of 9.0% per annum, which are declared and paid every six months. The annual dividend rate increases by 1.0% per annum on May 19, 2006 and each subsequent anniversary thereof until the earlier of the date that all of the shares of Series D-1 Stock are (i) converted into shares of common stock, or (ii) redeemed. On December 15, 2005, certain terms of the Amended Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series D Stock were amended in connection with the execution of a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement, and the Series D Stock was exchanged for shares of Series D-1 Stock. In 2005, we recorded a $3.7 million non-cash charge in connection with the Series D Stock Restructuring and Exchange.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, net product sales included net sales of Periostat, Mutual’s 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 Mutual’s 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, Mutual’s 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, 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, or Alliance, as part of the sale of certain U.K. and European dental assets in October 2004, and $29,000 in licensing revenue from a Canadian distribution partner. We recorded licensing revenues of $699,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. This amount included $425,000 in milestones fees received from foreign marketing partners upon the achievement of certain milestones, $222,000 from the acceleration of previously unamortized deferred up-front licensing fees relating to a licensing agreement that was terminated in 2003, and $52,000 from the amortization of deferred up-front license fees over the expected performance periods of the agreements.

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 10.8% to approximately $29.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2004 from approximately $33.0 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 was 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, as well as decreased patent litigation costs in 2004 as compared to 2003.

Significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2004 included approximately $15.0 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 $6.9 million in general and administrative expenses, which include business development, finance, legal and corporate activities.

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 $8.5 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 $8.5 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 $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.

Legal settlement incurred during the year ended December 31, 2004 consisted of the $2.0 million payment to Mutual in connection with the settlement of all outstanding litigation. Legal settlement incurred during the year ended December 31, 2003 consisted of a $700,000 payment to West-ward Pharmaceutical Corporation in connection with the settlement of all outstanding litigation.

Restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2004 consisted of $348,000 that resulted from the April 2004 reorganization of our sales organization into dedicated dental and dermatology sales forces. All such charges were paid as of December 31, 2004.

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. 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 Dividend

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 are paid in cash and are the result of our obligations in connection with the issuance of our Series D 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-1 Stock. We have historically funded our cash requirements primarily through the following:

·       Public offerings and private placements of our preferred and common stock;

·       Cash flows 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 success of our dermatology franchise;

·       The success of our preclinical, clinical and development programs (research and development expenses are estimated to be approximately $17.0 million in 2006);

·       Revenues and profits from sales of Periostat, Pandel and our other product candidates, as well as the products we co-promote;

·       The terms and conditions of our outstanding Series D-1 Stock;

·       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.

In December 2005 and January 2006, we raised $27.1 million in a public offering, net of placement agency fees and all offering expenses that were payable by us from the sale of 2.9 million shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share.

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

38




available to us under the credit facility increases. 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, 2005, we had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit. We are currently in discussions with Silicon Valley Bank regarding the renewal of the line of credit, however, we cannot offer assurance that such discussions will result in a renewal.

At December 31, 2005, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $44.4 million, an increase of approximately $5.8 million compared to the approximately $38.6 million balance at December 31, 2004. This increase is a result of the proceeds received from the public offering of 1,550,000 shares of our common stock in December 2005, offset in part by net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2005 and net investments made in 2005. Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments at December 31, 2005 did not include the net proceeds of $11.7 million from the sale of 1,350,000 shares of common stock that closed in January 2006. 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 government notes, commercial paper and money market funds. Our working capital at December 31, 2005 was $34.6 million compared to $39.7 million at December 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we invested approximately $392,000 in capital expenditures and $900,000 for in-process research and development, paid $1.6 million in cash dividends to the holders of our Series D-1 Stock and liquidated approximately $8.6 million (net of purchases) of short-term investments.

We anticipate that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2005, together with the additional $11.7 million in net proceeds from the 1,350,000 additional shares of common stock sold in January 2006, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least mid-2007. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially.

Cash Flows/Cash Management

The principal use of cash in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2005 was the payment of operating expenses and related working capital liabilities. Cash flows from operations can vary significantly due to various factors including the timing of payments made to our vendors, including research and development vendors, vendor payment terms, customer mix and customer payment terms.

Investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of purchases and sales of short-term investments, capital purchases and acquired in-process research and development. Financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of the cash inflows from our December 2005 offering of 1,550,000 shares of our common stock, the exercise of common stock options, and the payment of preferred dividends to the holders of our Series D Stock.

Contractual Obligations

Our major outstanding contractual obligations relate to cash dividends on our outstanding Series D-1 Stock and operating leases for our office space.

(1)          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.

(2)          Pursuant to the terms of our Series D-1 Stock, the holders of the Series D-1 Stock are entitled to dividends payable in cash at a current rate of 9.0% per annum, which are declared and paid every six months. The annual dividend rate increases by 1.0% per annum on May 19, 2006 and each subsequent anniversary thereof until the earlier of the date that all of the shares of Series D-1 Stock are (i) converted into shares of common stock, or (ii) redeemed.

On June 10, 2002, we executed a Development and Licensing Agreement with Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Supernus (successor in interest to Shire Laboratories, Inc.) pursuant to which we were granted an exclusive worldwide license (including the right to sublicense) to use Supernus 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 Supernus. We have committed to pay Supernus 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. For rosacea-indicated development, these payments could total up to $2.7 million in the aggregate. Under the agreement we must also pay Supernus a percentage of net sales of any products utilizing any part of the licensed technology. We expect to make these payments in 2006 if we obtain FDA approval for Oracea in the United States and approval in various international locations and commercially launch Oracea in the United States.

On August 19, 2004, we executed an Asset Purchase and Product Development Agreement with respect to Restoraderm technology, or the Restoraderm Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Restoraderm 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 Restoraderm Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the assets shall be up to $1.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain milestones. We may be 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.

On December 14, 2005, we executed a Share Purchase Agreement, or the SansRosa Purchase Agreement, with SansRosa Pharmaceutical Development, Inc., or SansRosa, and all of the existing shareholders of SansRosa, or the SansRosa Shareholders, pursuant to which we acquired 51% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of SansRosa, or the Shares. SansRosa is the assignee of various U.S. Patent Cooperation Treaty and foreign patent applications covering methods for treatment of redness associated with rosacea and other skin disorders.

40




We made an initial payment of $750,000 for the Shares. Under the SansRosa Purchase Agreement, we have the right to purchase all of the remaining shares of SansRosa capital stock upon the achievement of specified regulatory and development milestones. In the event all such regulatory and development milestones are achieved and a patented product is developed and approved for sale, depending on the timing of such events, we could pay the SansRosa Shareholders $4.0 million to $6.0 million in additional consideration for the remaining outstanding shares of SansRosa capital stock. The SansRosa Purchase Agreement also provides for specified earn-out payments to the SansRosa Shareholders based on future product sales. In certain instances, we are entitled to offset certain expenses against future purchases of capital stock or earn-out payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s 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 the valuation of deferred taxes, acquired product rights and inventory.

Revenue Recognition

Except for Periostat and Mutual sales beginning in the second quarter of 2005, we recognize product sales revenue upon shipment to wholesale customers, net of estimated future returns, estimates for chargebacks, wholesale distribution fees, if applicable, rebates, generic introductions and current inventory levels in the distribution channel provided that collection was probable and no significant obligations remained. Following the launch of generic competition to Periostat, and commencing with the second quarter of 2005, we now recognize Periostat sales revenue primarily based on sales to end-users, which we estimate using prescription demand data generated by a leading independent prescription tracking service, as well as on-hand inventory estimates in the distribution channel. Accordingly, since the launch of generic competition to Periostat may increase the rate of product returns from the distribution channel, we have accrued $1.2 million for potential product returns in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005.

Upon the launch of the third party generic equivalent to Periostat, our agreement with Mutual provides for rebates to be paid to Mutual to compensate Mutual and its customers for price erosion on the value of certain of its inventories of Mutual’s branded version of Periostat. Accordingly, we have deferred revenues associated with our shipments of these products until such future time as the selling price becomes fixed and determinable. At December 31, 2005, our consolidated balance sheet included $3,000 in deferred revenue associated with sales of Mutual’s branded version of Periostat.

Pursuant to our Promotion and Cooperation Agreement with Primus contract revenues for Alcortin and Novacort are fee-based arrangements where revenue is earned as prescriptions are filled and recognized as a percentage of the gross profit earned by Primus. We do not take title to the inventory sold by Primus under the Promotion Agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

41




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 (loss) income would have varied from the reported net (loss) income 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.

Deferred Taxes

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider the likelihood that part 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 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 we were profitable for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we have incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 and uncertainty regarding our future profitability has prevented us from reaching the “more likely than not” conclusion required under the applicable literature to recognize deferred tax assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

Acquired Product Rights

Product rights are stated at cost, amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the products or the contract term which such rights have been licensed, using the straight-line method. Amortization of product rights is charged to cost of product sales.

We are required to test for asset impairment of acquired product rights 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. 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, we make assumptions relating to:  (i) the intended use of the product rights and the expected future cash flows resulting directly from such use; (ii) generic competitor activities and regulatory initiatives that affect our products; and (iii) customer preferences and expected managed care reimbursement.

As a result of a change in the contractual life of the Licensing and Marketing Agreement with Atrix, we adjusted the current and future amortization of its acquired product rights asset to reflect a useful life through December 31, 2007. (see note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

Inventories

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions, related to inventory carrying values are evaluated periodically and consider the saleable quantities of inventory versus quantities of inventory on-hand.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded a charge of $1.0 million for the estimated excess inventory of Periostat and Mutual’s branded version of Periostat due to decreased demand following the introduction of a third party generic version of Periostat.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25 (“Opinion No. 25”) “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Share-based payments include grants of employee stock options and liabilities that are based on the fair value of our equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 may no longer be provided in lieu of recording these payments in our financial statements.

We are required to adopt SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006, and we expect this adoption to have a material effect on our results of operations and earnings per share. We estimate the financial impact of expensing options in 2006 will result in additional expense of between $3.0 million and $3.5 million. We have not yet determined the precise method of adoption for SFAS 123R and whether it 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.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-based Payment Awards, that provides an elective alternative transition method of calculating the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R (the “APIC Pool”) to the method otherwise required by paragraph 81 of SFAS 123R. We may take up to one year from the effective date of the FSP to evaluate our available alternatives and make our one-time election. We are currently evaluating the alternative methods in connection with our adoption of SFAS 123R.

Item 7A.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2005 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, 2005. Our short-term investments in commercial paper, certificates of deposit and government notes are carried at fair value.

The carrying amount, which approximates fair value, and the annualized weighted average nominal interest rate of our short-term investment portfolio at December 31, 2005, was approximately $18.2 million and 2.6%, respectively. A one percent change in the interest rate would have resulted in a $415,000 impact to interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 9A.     Controls and Procedures.

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, 2005. 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 SEC’s 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 company’s 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 applies 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, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

2.   Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

(a)   Management’s 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, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s 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 company’s 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. 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.

CollaGenex’ management, including the supervision and participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the

44




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, as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report on our assessment and the effectiveness of the Company’s 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 management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s 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, 2005, 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 management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s 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 management’s 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 company’s 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 company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, 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 company’s 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.

45




In our opinion, management’s assessment that CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, 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, 2005, 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, 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005, and the related financial statement schedule, and our report dated March 15, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and related schedule.

(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, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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, 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule, “Valuation and Qualifying Accounts.” These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s 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, 2005 and 2004 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, 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, 2005, 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 15, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(1)   Business

CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company currently focused on developing and marketing innovative proprietary medical therapies to the dermatology market. The Company currently markets three prescription pharmaceutical products to the dermatology market through the Company’s professional dermatology sales force and generates revenue from prescription pharmaceutical products that the Company continues to sell to the dental market. The Company’s marketed dermatology products are Pandel®, a prescription corticosteroid cream the Company licensed from Altana, Inc. (“Altana”), the United States subsidiary of Altana Pharma AG in May 2002, Alcortin™, a prescription topical antifungal steroid combination, and Novacort™, a prescription topical steroid and anesthetic. The Company is promoting Alcortin and Novacort to dermatology offices pursuant to a Promotion and Cooperation Agreement executed in June 2005 (the “Promotion Agreement”) with Primus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Primus”).

Prior to the May 2005 introduction of a third party generic version of Periostat®, the Company’s dental sales force detailed four prescription pharmaceutical products to the dental market. On May 20, 2005, the Company discontinued all sales promotion activities for these products. The Company currently still generates sales from these dental products, which all treat periodontal disease and include the Company’s own product Periostat, as well as Atridox®, Atrisorb FreeFlow® and Atrisorb-D® (the “Atrix Products”) which are licensed from Atrix Laboratories, Inc. (now known as QLT USA, Inc.). The Company had also sold a separately branded version of Periostat to United Research Laboratories, Inc./Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. (“Mutual”) pursuant to a License and Supply Agreement executed in April 2004 as part of a settlement of the Company’s outstanding patent litigation with Mutual. As a result of the launch of a third party generic version of Periostat in May 2005, Mutual ceased purchasing product from the Company during June 2005.

During 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’ AVAR product line and the Company’s 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 continued to earn nominal residual revenues under its non-compete provisions from Merck through 2005.

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. All short-term investments have original maturity dates of between three months and one year. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, all of the Company’s short-term investments, carried at fair value, were classified as available-for-sale with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The accumulated net unrealized loss on short-term investments was $4 and $21 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Short-term investments consisted of the following at December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Estimates and assumptions related to inventory carrying values are evaluated periodically and consider the saleable quantities of inventory versus quantities of inventory on-hand.

Acquired Product Rights

Product rights are stated at cost, amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the products or the contract term for which such rights have been licensed, using the straight-line method. Amortization of product rights is charged to cost of product sales.

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.

Segment Information

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.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, 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.

Net Product Sales

Except for Periostat and Mutual sales beginning in the second quarter of 2005, the Company recognizes product sales revenue upon shipment to wholesale customers, net of estimated future returns and estimates for chargebacks, applicable wholesale distribution fees, rebates and current inventory levels in the distribution channel, provided that collection was probable and no significant obligations remained. Following the launch of a third party generic competitor to Periostat in May 2005 and commencing with the second quarter of 2005, the Company recognizes Periostat sales revenue primarily based on sales to end-users, which are estimated using prescription dispensing data generated by a leading independent prescription tracking service, as well as on-hand inventory estimates in the distribution channel. Since the launch of generic competition to Periostat may result in increased product returns existing in the wholesale and retail channel, the Company has accrued an estimated liability of $1,267 for potential Periostat and other product returns in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005. (See note 3)

Upon the May 2005 launch of a third party generic equivalent to Periostat, the Company’s agreement with Mutual provided for rebates to be paid to Mutual to compensate Mutual and its customers for price erosion on the value of certain of its inventories of Mutual’s branded version of Periostat. Accordingly, the Company has deferred revenues associated with such shipments of these products until such future time as the selling price becomes fixed and determinable. At December 31, 2005, the consolidated balance sheet included $3 in current deferred revenue associated with sales of Mutual’s branded version of Periostat. (See note 3)

Contract Revenues

Contract revenues are fee-based arrangements with third parties where revenue is earned as prescriptions are filled and recognized as a percentage of the gross profit earned in accordance with the related contract terms. The Company does not take title to the inventory sold under these fee-based arrangements.

License Revenue

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 SEC’s 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 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively, the Company recorded $12, $140 and $52 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.

Advertising Costs

The Company records advertising expense when incurred. Such amounts are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs for 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $55, $24 and $139, respectively.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development

Costs to acquire in-process research and development projects and technologies which have not achieved technical feasibility at the date of acquisition are expensed as research and development expense as incurred.

Research and Development

Research and product development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs 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, including governmental filing fees.

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.

Management Estimates

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.

Stock-Based Compensation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”) encourages but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee and director compensation plans at fair value. Rather than adopt the recommended fair value method, 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. Under Opinion No. 25, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees and directors is measured as the excess, if any, of the market price of the Company’s common stock over the exercise price at the date both the number of shares and exercise price per share are known (measurement date). Such amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods of the option grants. Transactions with non-employees (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 No. 123 and related interpretations.

Had the Company adopted the fair value method and recognized the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued (using one of the various valuation models permitted), the compensation cost relating to the Company’s share-based payment transactions would have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements. The pro forma net (loss) income allocable to common stockholders and net (loss) income per share allocable to common stockholders if the Company had adopted the fair value based method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting For Stock Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosures and Amendment of SFAS 123”, are set out below. Option forfeitures are accounted for as they occurred and no amounts of compensation expense have been capitalized into inventory or other assets, but instead are considered period expenses in the pro forma amounts.

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 2005, three distributors and Mutual accounted for 37%, 24%, 12% and 22% of net product sales, respectively. Three distributors accounted for 59%, 28% and 8% of gross accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2005. During 2004, three distributors and Mutual accounted for 33%, 29%, 19%, and 14% of net product sales, respectively. These same customers accounted for 30%, 26%, 8%, and 32% of the gross accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2004. During 2003, three distributors accounted for 43%, 31% and 20% of net product sales, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, Periostat and Mutual’s branded version of Periostat accounted for approximately 76%, 88% and 82% of the Company’s 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 asset’s projected undiscounted net cash flows to its carrying value. Impairment, if any, is recognized as the difference between the asset’s carrying value and its fair value. As a result of a change in the contractual life of the Licensing and Marketing Agreement with Atrix (the “Atrix License Agreement”), the Company has adjusted its current and future amortization of its acquired product rights asset to reflect a useful life through December 31, 2007 (see note 7).

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Basic income per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net (loss) income allocable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Net (loss) income allocable to common stockholders includes dividends and other charges 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, 2005, 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. Such stock options and warrants to purchase 3,345,267 shares of common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2005. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company had approximately 2,353,000, 2,020,000 and 2,020,000 of potential common stock shares from convertible preferred stock that were not included in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share allocable to common stockholders because doing so would have been anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, for diluted earnings per share there were common stock equivalents of 235,950 and 741,726, respectively, as a result of “in-the-money” stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury method. Excluded from the computation of diluted EPS were 2,213,550 and 860,280 shares of “out-of-the-money” stock options and warrants for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 as they were anti-dilutive.

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, 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 Company’s 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 No. 123, no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. 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 No. 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 No. 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 (see above) to these consolidated financial statements.

During year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded a charge to cost of product sales of $1,020 for excess inventory of Periostat and Mutual’s branded version of Periostat. The charge resulted from decreased demand for Periostat and the termination of the Company’s License and Supply Agreement with Mutual both of which resulted from the introduction of a third party generic version of Periostat in May 2005.

(4) Stockholders’ Equity—Common Stock

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 Company’s 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 Company’s common stock. Accordingly none of the 400,000 warrants remain outstanding at December 31, 2005. The Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company’s 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 Company’s common stock. During 2003, the remaining 142,860 warrants were exercised into 92,195 shares of the Company’s common stock. The majority of these warrant exercises were in cashless transactions. Accordingly, none of the 150,000 warrants remain outstanding at December 31, 2005. As a result of this financing, the conversion price of the Company’s Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Stock”) was reduced to $9.94 per share (See note 5). Such conversion price was

further reduced to $9.91 per share in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock to Atrix (See note 7), and was further reduced to $8.50 per share as a result of the exchange of all 200,000 outstanding shares of Series D Stock for 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series D-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D-1 Stock”).

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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s Series D Stock was further reduced to $9.89 as a result of the issuance of shares under the equity line and the issuance of such warrant (see note 5). Such warrant is exercisable as of August 14, 2002, and will expire on August 13, 2007. No warrants have been exercised and all 40,000 warrants are outstanding at December 31, 2005.

On May 29, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an Amended and Restated Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”). American Stock Transfer & Trust Company is the rights agent under the Rights Agreement.

Each Right, once exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of the Company’s 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, 2005, the Rights were neither exercisable nor traded separately from the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

On December 21, 2005, the Company entered into definitive agreements with institutional and other investors to sell 2,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $29,000. On December 23, 2005, the Company closed on the first tier of the offering issuing 1,550,000 shares of common stock in exchange for net proceeds of $14,388 after deducting approximately $1,069 in placement agency fees and other offering expenses that were accrued by the Company at December 31, 2005. This closing is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholder’s equity as of December 31, 2005. On January 6, 2006, the Company closed on the second tier of the offering issuing 1,350,000 shares of common stock in exchange for $12,667 of net proceeds.

(5) Preferred Stock Agreements

The Company’s Board of Directors may, without further action by the Company’s 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 Series D 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.

On December 15, 2005, the Company executed a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement with each of the holders of the Series D Stock pursuant to which the Series D stockholders agreed to effect an exchange whereby the Company would exchange all 200,000 outstanding shares of Series D Stock for 200,000 shares of the Series D-1 Stock. The Company recorded a non-cash charge to net (loss) income allocable to common stockholders on the consolidated statement of operations of $3,680 related to this Exchange Agreement in the fourth quarter of 2005.

On December 19, 2005, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series D-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and on December 21, 2005, the Company exchanged all 200,000 outstanding shares of Series D Stock for 200,000 shares of Series D-1 Stock. As of December 21, 2005, there were no outstanding shares of Series D Stock.

Beginning May 12, 2002, the holders of Series D Stock were paid dividends in cash at a rate of 8.0% per annum. Beginning May 12, 2005, the dividend rate, on the Series D Stock increases 100 basis points per year. Dividends on the Series D Stock and Series D-1 Stock totaling $1,727, $1,600 and $1,600 were declared in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series D-1 Stock, the holders of the Series D-1 Stock are entitled to dividends payable in cash at a rate of 9.0% per annum, which are declared and paid every six months. The annual dividend rate shall increase by 1.0% per annum on May 19, 2006 and each subsequent anniversary thereof until the earlier of the date that all of the shares of Series D-1 Stock are (i) converted into shares of common stock, or (ii) redeemed.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

The dividend payable to the holders of the Series D-1 Stock shall be doubled upon an event of default, which is defined as, among other things, default on the payment of dividends, material breaches of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 19, 1999, by and among the Company, OCM, and the purchasers set forth therein or that certain Stockholders and Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 19, 1999, as amended, by and among the Company, OCM and the purchasers set forth therein, the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Company, acceleration of indebtedness in excess of $1,000, a change in control, or the failure of the Company’s common stock to actively trade on the American Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market. The Company is entitled to pay the default dividends in shares of common stock in the event the Company cannot pay cash dividends because of a deficiency in cash or a prohibition under Delaware law, such that a cash payment would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Series D Stock was convertible into common shares of the Company at an initial conversion price of $11.00 per share, subject to adjustment (see below and note 7), at any time by the holder and under certain conditions by the Company. Each share of Series D-1 Stock is convertible, at the option of its holder, at any time, into shares of common stock determined by dividing $100 by the conversion price, which is currently $8.50 per share, for each share of Series D-1 Stock converted. The conversion price of the Series D-1 Stock shall be adjusted, on a weighted average basis, upon the issuance of securities, options or warrants at a price per share less than the then effective conversion price. In the event the Company fails to declare dividends after the Company has been notified of an event of default for failure to pay dividends, the holders of a majority of the Series D-1 Stock shall have the option to elect to have the conversion price of the Series D-1 Stock reset to the then fair value of the Company’s common stock, based upon the five-day trailing average closing price of the common stock (see below).

Each share of Series D-1 Stock is convertible, at the Company’s option, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the applicable conversion rate, at any time after the common stock has traded at a price per share of at least 200% above the conversion price then in effect for 30 consecutive trading days, provided that the shares of common stock to be issued upon such conversion are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Series D-1 Stock is entitled to vote together with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders generally, on an as-converted to common stock basis. The approval of the holders of at least 662¤3% of the Series D-1 Stock is required for certain actions by the Company, including creating or issuing stock ranking senior to the Series D-1 Stock. The approval of the holders of at least a majority of the Series D-1 Stock is required for certain actions by the Company, including paying dividends, other than those on the Series D-1 Stock, incurring indebtedness in excess of $10,000 for working capital purposes, disposing of the Company’s assets, except in the ordinary course of business, and acquisitions in any calendar year period in excess of $10,000.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of outstanding shares of Series D-1 Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders, an amount equal to $100 per share of Series D-1 Stock plus all cumulative dividends, whether or not earned or declared, which at December 31, 2005 equaled $20,900.

Each outstanding share of Series D-1 Stock is redeemable, at the Company’s option as follows:  at $100 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends if less than 5% of the Series D-1 Stock originally issued are outstanding and at $100 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends in the event of a change in control of the Company.

(6) Acquisition

On December 14, 2005, the Company executed a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SansRosa Purchase Agreement”), with SansRosa Pharmaceutical Development, Inc., (“SansRosa”), and all of the existing shareholders of SansRosa, (the “SansRosa Shareholders”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 51% or 2,483,830 shares of the outstanding shares of capital stock of SansRosa in exchange for a payment of $750. For accounting purposes, the SansRosa transaction was treated as the acquisition of in-process research and development. The cost of the acquisition was charged to in-process research and development since the SansRosa technology has not achieved technical feasibility at this time. SansRosa is the assignee of certain patent applications covering methods for treatment of redness associated with rosacea and other skin disorders. Under the SansRosa Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to purchase all of the remaining shares of SansRosa capital stock upon the achievement of specified regulatory and development milestones. If all milestones are achieved and a patented product is developed and approved for sale, the Company will pay the shareholders of SansRosa an additional $4,000 to $6,000. The agreement also provides for royalty payments currently, to minority shareholders linked to future product sales.

The Company’s policy is to consolidate the accounts and results of operations of its majority-owned subsidiaries, including SansRosa. SansRosa did not have significant operations during the period from December 14, 2005 through December 31, 2005. No expenses were incurred nor were revenues earned by SansRosa during the period from December 14, 2005 through December 31, 2005. Accordingly, no minority interest liability has been accrued at December 31, 2005. Since the minority shareholders have no obligation to fund the ongoing losses of SansRosa, no minority interest receivable will be recorded.

(7) Licensing/Co-Promotion Agreements

In June 2005, the Company entered into the Promotion Agreement with Primus under which the Company agreed to promote Alcortin, a prescription topical antifungal steroid combination, and Novacort, a prescription topical steroid and anesthetic. Under the Promotion Agreement, the Company will receive a percentage of the gross profit arising from prescriptions written by dermatology professionals (or offices) that result in sales of the products in the United States. The majority of marketing expenses, excluding sales force compensation and sample product costs, related to the promotion of the Primus products are funded by Primus. The majority of product sample costs and all sales force compensation are funded by the Company. The Company is required to deliver a minimum amount of annual contract year sales presentations to dermatologists. The Company has also agreed to achieve certain levels of product prescriptions as measured on an annual contract year basis. The Promotion Agreement has an initial term that extends through June 30, 2008 and then renews automatically for successive additional terms of one year unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

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 Restoraderm topical 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. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $133 related to the product development milestones, which was charged to research and development in the consolidated statements of operations. The purchase was charged to in-process research and development since the Restoraderm technology has not achieved technical feasibility when acquired.

Pursuant to a Co-Promotion Agreement the Company executed with Merck 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 continued 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 years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded $153 and $237, respectively, in residual contract revenues under this agreement.

On August 24, 2001, the Company signed the Atrix License Agreement with Atrix to market the Atrix Products 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 estimated useful life of the license on a straight-line basis (see below). On an annual basis commencing with fiscal year 2003, the Company was required to make marketing expenditures to promote the Atrix dental products equal to the lesser of $4,000 or 30% of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 2004. The Company terminated its dental promotional activities in May 2005 and was no longer required to meet the minimum annual spending requirements for 2005.

On February 22, 2006, the Company amended its Atrix License Agreement and has agreed to continue to sell the Atrix Products through its distributor and pay an increased royalty on net sales and an increased transfer price, but the Company is no longer required to make annual minimum expenditures for advertising and promotional activities. Pursuant to the amended agreement, either party may terminate the Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon six (6) months prior written notice. The amendment amends the term of the License and Marketing Agreement through December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the Company has adjusted the estimated remaining useful life of Atrix product right asset through December 31, 2007.

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 unregistered shares of the Company’s 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 Series D Stock was reduced to $9.91 per share.

On May 24, 2002, the Company executed a Sublicense Agreement with Altana 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 purchases all Pandel products to be sold from Altana.

Pursuant to the terms of its agreement, the Company paid Altana an aggregate sublicense fee of $1,700, of which $900 was paid in 2003. The sublicense fee has been capitalized and is fully amortized at December 31, 2005. 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, $132 of license revenues was recognized to reflect the elimination of any continuing involvement related to the upfront license revenue from the License and Supply Agreement with Showa Yakuhin Kako Co., Ltd. which was terminated in March 2005.

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 and also recognized $425 related to the collection of outstanding milestone payments from Roche.

(8) Line of Credit

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.

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.

No letter of credit was outstanding at December 31, 2005.

As a result of a transition agreement with Brian M. Gallagher, Ph.D., the Company’s 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 the acceleration of vesting of certain in-the-money stock options held by Dr. Gallagher.

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 Company’s 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 2003, 2004 or 2005.

(10) Income Taxes

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 carryforwards 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 Company’s 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, 2005 and 2004.

The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was an increase of approximately $6,456 and decrease of $1,677, respectively, related primarily to the increase in net operating losses in 2005 and utilization of net operating losses in 2004.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $74,000 of Federal and $38,000 of state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income for tax reporting purposes. The Federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2010. The state net operating losses have

begun to expire and will continue to expire through 2015, if not utilized. Included in the Company’s net operating loss carryforward are deductions relating to the exercise of non-qualified stock options in the amount of $8,266, 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 and Section 383 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 Company’s equity transactions, a portion of the Federal 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, 2005, approximately $59,000 is immediately available to offset future taxable income. The annual net operating loss utilization may be further limited if additional changes in ownership occur. The Company is currently evaluating such further limitations that could result from the December 2005 and January 2006 common stock sale of 2,900,000 shares of common stock. In addition to the section 382 and 383 limitations, the state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to a $2,000 annual limitation.

(11) Technology License

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 Company’s 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 required to pay all patent fees and related legal costs under the license, as well as to support certain additional research efforts. In addition, 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 15). 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 $899, $1,933 and $1,832 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

(12) Sales Force Restructuring

On May 16, 2005, the Company announced the restructuring of its sales force following the FDA’s approval of a third party generic version of Periostat. As a result of the restructuring, the Company ceased all dental promotional activities. The Company incurred a $1,184 restructuring charge during the year ended December 31, 2005. Of this charge, $813 related to employee severance costs while the remaining portion was primarily related to the write-off of tangible assets and payments due under an operating lease associated with the Company’s dental sales and marketing activities that could no longer be utilized by the Company. As of December 31, 2005, $96 of the restructuring charge had not yet been paid and is a

component of accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. (See note 3)  The accrued expense of $96 is expected to be paid during 2006.

On April 22, 2004, the Company announced the restructuring of its pharmaceutical sales organization into dedicated dental and dermatology sales forces. The Company incurred a $348 restructuring charge during the year ended December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2005, all of these costs have been paid by the Company.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company maintains various operating leases, primarily for office space and equipment. As of December 31, 2005, future minimum payments under noncancellable operating leases are as follows:

Expense under operating leases (including restructuring charges) for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 totaled $546, $520 and $327, respectively.

During December 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 through January 2007, based on the monthly number of users.

On June 10, 2002, the Company executed a Development and Licensing Agreement with Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Supernus, successor in interest to Shire Laboratories, Inc. pursuant to which the Company was granted an exclusive worldwide license (including the right to sublicense) to use Supernus’ 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 Supernus, in cash or, at the Company’s option, a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock, upon the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory milestones. The Company incurred $830 in such milestone costs in 2005 which was charged to research and development expense in 2005. The Company paid in cash $415 of this charge in 2005. The remaining $415 was paid in cash in January 2006. Future payments could be as much as $2,670 in the aggregate and relate primarily to regulatory approval, both domestic and international, of products utilizing the Supernus technology and domestic launch of such products. The Company will also pay a royalty on future net sales of products, if any, utilizing any part of the technology.

In December 2003, Brian M. Gallagher, Ph.D., the Company’s former chairman, chief executive officer and president, left the Company. Dr. Gallagher continues to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and, until December 2005, acted as a consultant to the Company. The Company incurred $304 and $324 respectively, in consulting fees to Dr. Gallagher in each of the years ended

December 31, 2005 and 2004. In 2003, the Company incurred $20 in such consulting expense and also recognized a non-cash stock compensation charge of approximately $251 relating to the acceleration of vesting of certain in-the-money stock options held by Dr. Gallagher.

(14) 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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-ward’s actual legal expenses in the amount of $700, which was recorded in 2003.

In July 2003, the Company commenced an action against 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 Company’s suit alleged infringement of patents covering the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 and would purchase this product exclusively from the Company at prices below the Company’s average manufacturer’s price. The License and Supply Agreement also provided for the Company to make price adjustments to Mutual after a generic version of Periostat had become available on the market at a price lower than the selling price of Mutual’s branded version of Periostat. These adjustments were to take the form of rebates or credits to Mutual to reduce the acquisition cost of the branded version of Periostat in Mutual’s inventory or to offset rebates and similar retroactive price adjustments requested by, and actually provided by, Mutual to its customers.

On May 13, 2005, the FDA approved a third party generic version of Periostat that was launched in late May 2005. Upon this generic launch, Mutual was no longer obligated to purchase its branded version of Periostat from the Company and ceased purchasing from the Company in June 2005.

In June 2003, the Company commenced an action and filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia challenging the FDA’s 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 United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued an injunction in favor of the Company. On January 20, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia reached its decision on the merits of the FDA Litigation, and dissolved the injunction that had prohibited the FDA from approving any ANDAs submitted for any generic version of Periostat. The Company lodged, but has now withdrawn, an appeal against this decision in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

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 its 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. The Company sought an injunction preventing IVAX and CorePharma from introducing 20 mg tablets of doxycycline hyclate in the United States. The injunction was denied by the Court on June 16, 2005. The litigation on the merits of the Company’s patent infringement claims is still pending before the Court in the Eastern District of New York.

In addition to the above proceedings, the Company is involved in, or has been involved in, arbitrations or various other legal proceedings that arise from the normal course of business. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and other proceedings. Currently, the Company is not involved in any arbitration and/or other legal proceedings that it expects to have a material effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. All legal costs are expensed as incurred.

(15) Legal Expenses to Defend Periostat Patents

Under the Company’s 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 years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company incurred $1,100, $4,116 (which included the $2,000 Mutual settlement), and $3,757 (which included the $700 West-ward settlement), in legal defense, litigation, and settlement costs, respectively, of which $899, $1,933, and $1,750 were deducted from royalties earned by SUNY during these periods, respectively (See note 11). 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, 2005 by $4,140. 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.

(16) 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 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-MR™, 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.

The Company recorded net proceeds of $2,980 from the sale during the year ended December 31, 2004. The net proceeds represent the $3,300 payment from Alliance less professional 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 December 31, 2004. In addition to these revenues, the Company also recognized $74 in net product sales related to bulk shipments of Periostat to Alliance during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

(17) 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 participant’s account. During each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company made a discretionary contribution of $100 to the 401(k) Plan. In 2005, the 401(k) plan was amended to allow an employer sponsored matching contribution of 20% on each dollar for the first 6% of the compensation deferred by the participant. During 2005, the Company made matching contributions of $78 to the 401(k) Plan.

(18) Related Party Transactions

A current member of the Company’s Board of Directors is also a 1.0% holder of the Company’s Series D-1 Stock which was exchanged for shares of Series D Stock in connection with the execution of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement in December 2005 (See note 5).

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 member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 15, 2005, is among

 

SansRosa Pharmaceutical Development, Inc. (“SansRosa”), a corporation established under the laws of Delaware, with offices at One Tower Bridge, Suite 1350, 100 Front Street, West Conshohocken, PA 19428 (“SansRosa”),

 

Those individuals listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Shareholders”); and

 

CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals Inc., a corporation established under the laws of Delaware with offices at 41 University Drive, Newtown, PA 18940, (“CollaGenex”).

 

CollaGenex, SansRosa and the Shareholders are from time to time referred to as “Parties” (and each a “Party”) to this Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, the Shareholders own all the issued and outstanding shares of SansRosa (the “Shares”); and

 

WHEREAS, SansRosa owns all the rights title and interest in the Patent Applications (as defined below);

 

WHEREAS, CollaGenex wishes to purchase all of the Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Shareholders are willing to sell the Shares.

 

The Shareholders, SansRosa and CollaGenex agree as follows:

 

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

 

In addition to those terms used and defined in particular sections of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meaning wherever they may be used in this Agreement:

 

“Patent Applications” means the applications currently pending under #’s [**] with the USPTO, and corresponding foreign or international applications having the same priority dates and filed, or to be filed within applicable deadlines under the PCT or equivalent regimen (collectively, the “Patent Applications”).  “Patent Applications” shall also mean United States patent applications that claim priority in whole or in part from the specified patent applications including but not limited to continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals, reexamination certificates and reissues of the specified patent applications.

 



 

“Patent Issuance” means issuance of a notice of allowance of the first US patent that includes a claim relating to the treatment or prevention of rosacea or the symptoms associated therewith and that arises out of the Patent Applications.

 

“SansRosa Product” means a product the making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing of which is covered by at least one of the claims set forth in any of the Patent Applications (a “SansRosa Product”), irrespective of whether any of the Patent Applications is then pending or whether any claim set forth therein is then valid.

 

“SansRosa Rosacea Product” means a SansRosa Product that treats or prevents rosacea or symptoms associated therewith.

 

“SansRosa Patented Product” means a SansRosa Product the making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing of which is covered by any claim under an issued U.S. patent arising out of the Patent Applications, which U.S. patent is in force and which claim has not been declared invalid or unenforceable by a U.S. court from which no appeal is or can be taken.

 

1.                                       PURCHASE OF THE SHARES

 

(a)                                  Agreement to Purchase and Sell.  CollaGenex agrees to buy from the Shareholders, and the Shareholders agree to sell to CollaGenex, all the Shares, being the aggregate of all the Shares identified to each Shareholder on the Schedule of Shareholders and Ownership attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Closings.  The sale shall take effect at a series of closings, each of which shall take place at the offices of CollaGenex on such date as may be agreed between the Parties, but in no event later than 30 days following the occurrence of each of the respective events identified as milestones below.

 

(c)                                  First Closing.  The first closing (the “First Closing”) shall take place at the offices of CollaGenex on Thursday, December 8, 2005, or at such other time or location as may be necessary to ensure timely review and delivery of the items referenced as deliveries in Article 5 of this Agreement (the “First Closing”).  At the First Closing CollaGenex shall purchase, and the Shareholders shall deliver to CollaGenex, 51% of the Shares at a price per share that results in the aggregate consideration payable at such time to the Shareholders being $750,000 less the $50,000 paid by CollaGenex as a non-refundable deposit to be applied toward the Purchase Price at the First Closing pursuant to the term sheet executed August 17, 2005, and less the amount by which SansRosa’s obligations payable on the date of the First Closing exceed SansRosa’s cash on such date.  The Purchase Price shall be paid to such accounts as the Shareholders shall nominate or by check issued at the First Closing.  All obligations of SansRosa that are due and payable on the date of the First Closing shall be paid or provided for in full at the First Closing, such that as of the time immediately following the First Closing SansRosa shall have no cash and no obligations payable, and CollaGenex shall have paid out, at the First Closing, no more than $700,000. The allocation of such $700,000

(i)                                     IND Filing.  Upon filing of the first IND with FDA that relates to a SansRosa Product, CollaGenex shall purchase, and the Shareholders shall deliver to CollaGenex, 10% of the Shares at a price per share that results in the aggregate consideration payable at such time being $[**];

 

(ii)                                  Phase I Studies.  When the last Phase I study relating to the first SansRosa Product is clinically complete, and CollaGenex has determined that the results of the Phase I studies support a decision to move on to Phase II studies, CollaGenex shall purchase, and the Shareholders shall deliver to CollaGenex, 10% of the Shares at a price per share that results in the amount of aggregate consideration payable at such time being $[**].

 

(iii)                               Phase II Studies.  When the last Phase II study relating to the first SansRosa Product is clinically complete, and CollaGenex has determined that the results of the Phase II studies support a decision to move on to Phase III studies, CollaGenex shall purchase, and the Shareholders shall deliver to CollaGenex, 5% of the Shares at a price per share that results in the aggregate consideration payable at such time being $[**];

 

(iv)                              Phase III Studies.  When the last Phase III study relating to the first SansRosa Product is clinically complete, and CollaGenex has determined that the results of the Phase III studies support a decision to assemble and submit a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA), CollaGenex shall purchase, and the Shareholders shall deliver to CollaGenex, 4% of the Shares at a price per share that results in the aggregate consideration payable at such time being $[**];

3



 

(1)                                  If Patent Allowability occurs before [**], the amount will be $[**];
 
(2)                                  If Patent Allowability occurs after [**], but on or before [**], the amount will be $[**];

5



 

(ii)                                  Net Sales in the U.S. of SansRosa Products, whether sold directly by CollaGenex or through a third party, if during any portion of any calendar year no SansRosa Patented Products were being sold, and Net Sales of SansRosa Products in the U.S. exceeded $[**] in such calendar year, as follows:

 

CollaGenex shall pay to the Shareholders, within [**] days of the end of each such calendar year, an amount equal to:

 

A.                                   $[**]; PLUS

 

B.                                     [**]% of the amount by which Net Sales of SansRosa Products in the U.S. exceeded $[**] in such calendar year; MINUS

and

 

(iii)                               Net Sales outside the U.S.  of SansRosa Products , where such sales are made directly by CollaGenex in a jurisdiction where a patent arising out of the Patent Applications is either issued or pending as follows:

 

CollaGenex shall pay the Shareholders an amount equal to [**]% of the Net Sales of SansRosa Products in such jurisdictions within [**] days after each calendar quarter (or after issuance of a patent which causes the amounts accrued pursuant to section 2(d) below to be released),

 

and

 

(iv)                              Out-License Payments received from licensees outside the U.S., as follows:

 

CollaGenex shall pay the Shareholders [**]% of any royalty, milestone payments and other consideration, including the fair market value of any non-monetary consideration, received from partners granted any license or other right to manufacture, produce, distribute, market, sell or otherwise commercially exploit any SansRosa Product(s) in a jurisdiction outside the United States where a patent arising out of the Patent Applications is either issued or pending, within [**] days after receipt by CollaGenex of such payments (or after issuance of a patent which causes the amounts accrued pursuant to section 2(d) below to be released);

 

Provided, however, that CollaGenex shall have no obligation to pay Shareholders any portion of any such payments received by CollaGenex

 

6



 

that are in consideration of or reimbursement for specific non-U.S. development activity to be performed by CollaGenex.

 

(d)                                 Accrual.  Any Earn Out Consideration earned pursuant to paragraphs 2(c)(iii) or (iv) in jurisdictions outside the United States where a patent arising out of the Patent Applications is pending but not issued, shall be accrued and held in a separate account by CollaGenex until such time as the patent in question is issued, at which time all such Earn Out Consideration shall be released and become payable to the Shareholders.  In the event that any such patent shall be abandoned or finally adjudged not issuable in any jurisdiction, then the Earn Out Consideration accrued in respect of it in such jurisdiction, shall be released to CollaGenex.

 

(e)                                  Limited Duration.  The obligation to make any payments of Earn Out Consideration shall expire on the earlier of the [**] anniversary of the Last Closing or [**].

 

(f)                                    Net Sales.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Net Sales” shall mean revenues less all trade or quantity discounts or rebates actually allowed, Government, HMO or PBM discounts or rebates actually allowed, wholesale distribution fees paid by CollaGenex, returns, freight, or other transportation costs paid or allowed, sales and excise tax paid by CollaGenex, and prompt payment discounts, calculated according to GAAP consistently applied.

 

(g)                                 Records and Audit.  CollaGenex shall keep records in sufficient detail to permit the determination of Earn Out Consideration payable hereunder and, at the request and expense of the Shareholders, shall permit an independent certified public accountant, reasonably acceptable to both parties, to examine, in confidence, during ordinary business hours once in each calendar year such records as may be necessary to verify or determine Earn Out Consideration paid or payable under this Agreement.  The Parties agree that Goldenberg Rosenthal LLP shall be acceptable to them to conduct these examinations.

 

(h)                                 Reconciliation.  If any such review results in a determination of any underpayment of Earn Out Consideration and other amounts payable under this Agreement to the Shareholders, such underpayment shall be promptly remitted to the Shareholders with accrued interest from the last day of the applicable calendar quarter at the prime rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal plus 2%, compounded daily.  If such review determines that actual Earn Out Consideration or other payments were more than 105% of the Earn Out Consideration reported by CollaGenex for any calendar quarter under review, CollaGenex shall pay all of the actual costs of such review.  If such review results in a determination of any overpayment of Earn Out Consideration to the Shareholders, the amount of such overpayment less the costs of the audit shall be credited against future Earn Out Payments to be made by CollaGenex hereunder.

 

7



 

3.                                       OFFSETS AGAINST THE PURCHASE PRICE

 

(a)                                  Expenses.  In the event that CollaGenex incurs Exceptional Patent Expenses (as defined in paragraph 3(c) below) during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the fifth anniversary of the first commercial sale of a SansRosa Product, such expenses shall be offset against the payments due to the Shareholders as follows:

 

(i)                                     Pre Purchase.  Any Exceptional Patent Expenses incurred before the purchase of all the Shares shall be offset [**]% against the consideration due for the next purchase of Shares, and [**]% against the Earn Out Consideration; and

 

(ii)                                  Post Purchase.  Any Exceptional Patent Expenses incurred after the purchase of all the Shares shall be offset [**]% against the Earn Out Consideration

 

Exceptional Patent Expenses are payable only out of future payments to be made by CollaGenex under this Agreement as provided above, and in no event shall the Shareholders be required to pay or reimburse any Exceptional Patent Expenses out of amounts previously paid by CollaGenex to the Shareholders.

 

(b)                                 Input of JDC.  Before CollaGenex incurs any Exceptional Patent Expenses, it shall notify the Joint Development Committee and provide such committee with a summary thereof and the opportunity to comment on the merits and amounts thereof.  The requirement to solicit the comments of the committee shall in no event be interpreted to mean that CollaGenex must obtain the consent of the committee before it incurs such expenses.

 

(c)                                  Exceptional Patent Expenses.  “Exceptional Patent Expenses” shall mean

 

(i)                                     legal fees incurred in prosecuting, dismissing or settling an interference or opposition proceeding (or the imminent prospect thereof) in the U.S. relating to the Patent Applications; and

 

(ii)                                  amounts paid in settlement of interference or opposition proceedings (or the prospect thereof), or other allegations of unpatentability of, or assertions of priority to or ownership of, the technology covered by the claims of the Patent Applications in the U.S., provided, however, that such amounts shall not constitute Exceptional Patent Expenses to the extent they exceed $[**].

 

Exceptional Patent Expenses shall not include Patent Defense Costs.

 

(d)                                 Annual Limit of Exceptional Patent Expenses.  In any year when there is an offset of Exceptional Patent Expenses against Earn Out Consideration, the amount of such offset shall not exceed [**] percent of the Earn Out Consideration that would otherwise be payable in such year, and the remaining Exceptional Patent Expenses that are subject to offset shall be offset against the Earn Out Consideration in future years, subject, in turn, to the same [**] percent limitation

 

8



 

in each succeeding year.  In no event shall the Shareholders have any further financial responsibility for payment of Exceptional Patent Expenses.

 

(e)                                  Patent Defense Costs.  In the event that after Patent Issuance CollaGenex incurs costs (“Patent Defense Costs”) by way of

 

(i)                                     legal fees incurred in defending in litigation any patent that issues out of the Patent Applications and covers a SansRosa Rosacea Product, against allegations of invalidity in the U.S., and or

 

(ii)                                  legal fees incurred in asserting any such patent in litigation against an alleged infringer of such patent in the U.S., and or

 

(iii)                               payments in settlement of litigation arising in either of the contexts described above, where the settlement maintains CollaGenex as the exclusive or co-exclusive seller of a SansRosa Rosacea Product in the U.S..

 

such Patent Defense Costs to the extent not recovered as provided in Section 3(g) shall be offset [**] percent ([**]%) against the Earn Out Consideration.

 

(f)                                    Annual Limit of Patent Defense Costs.  In any year when there is an offset of Patent Defense Costs against Earn Out Consideration, the amount of such offset shall not exceed [**] percent of the Earn Out Consideration that would otherwise be payable in such year, and the remaining Patent Defense Costs that are subject to offset shall be offset against the Earn Out Consideration in future years, subject, in turn, to the same [**] percent limitation in each succeeding year.  In no event shall the Shareholders have any further responsibility for payment of Patent Defense Costs.

 

(g)                                 Damage Awards.  In the event that CollaGenex receives damages as a result of any litigation described in paragraph (e) above, it shall allocate such damages, to the extent sufficient funds exist:

 

(i)                                     first to itself to fund any Patent Defense Costs that it incurred but did not offset against Earn Out Consideration that would otherwise have been due and payable;

 

(ii)                                  second to the Shareholders, to the extent that it did offset any Patent Defense Costs against Earn Out Consideration that would otherwise have been due and payable; and

 

(iii)                               any balance shall be distributed [**]% to CollaGenex and [**]%, collectively, to the Shareholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective ownership as shown on Exhibit A.

 

(h)                                 Royalties to Third Parties.  In the event that

 

9



 

(i)                                     CollaGenex is required to pay:

 

A.                                   royalties or equivalent payments to a third party or parties in order to settle any disputes with third parties, arising from interference or opposition proceedings (or the prospect thereof), and or

 

B.                                     royalties or equivalent payments to a third party or parties in order in any other context to obtain freedom to operate in connection with the sale of any SansRosa Product,

 

and

 

(ii)                                  the combination of such royalties and CollaGenex obligation to pay the Earn Out Consideration under paragraph 2(c)(i)A to the Shareholders with respect to such SansRosa Product, exceeds [**]% of the Net Sales of such SansRosa Product in any jurisdiction in any calendar year,

 

then the Shareholders and CollaGenex shall in good faith renegotiate the Earn Out Consideration, provided, however, that in determining whether or not the [**]% threshold has been met, royalties or equivalent payments payable to a third party or parties in order to settle any disputes arising from interference or opposition proceedings (or the prospect thereof) shall not be included to the extent they exceed [**]% of Net Sales.

 

4.                                       PRE-CLOSING COVENANTS

 

(a)                                  Access.  Shareholders shall give to CollaGenex and its representatives, from the date of this Agreement until the First Closing, such access as is reasonably requested by CollaGenex to the books, records, premises, and consultants of SansRosa, to enable CollaGenex to inspect and evaluate the assets, properties and operations of SansRosa.

 

(b)                                 Conduct of Business.  From the date of this Agreement until the First Closing, Shareholders shall, in consultation with CollaGenex, cause SansRosa to continue to:

 

(i)                                     Ordinary Course.  Operate and conduct its business diligently in the ordinary course for businesses of the same type; and

 

(ii)                                  Warranties.  Conduct its business in such a manner that all the warranties and representations of Shareholders in this Agreement will be true, complete and accurate in all respects as of the date of the First Closing.

(b)                                 Taxes.  The Shareholders shall be responsible for paying all taxes or other assessments that may be due in connection with the payments made under this Agreement for the purchase of the Shares, regardless of how such payments may be characterized by the relevant tax authority.  CollaGenex will provide such documentation as the Shareholders my reasonably request in connection with the payment of such taxes, but CollaGenex makes no representation as to the tax treatment that may apply to the sale of the Shares.

 

10.                                 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, CLAIMS

 

(a)                                  Survival of First Closing Warranties.  Except as provided below, all representations, warranties, covenants and other undertakings contained in this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable after the date of the First Closing and shall survive such Closing for a period of eighteen months.

 

(b)                                 Survival of Warranties Relating to the Shares.  The warranties given by SansRosa and the Shareholders with respect to the Shareholders title to the Shares and the capital structure of SansRosa shall survive until such time as SansRosa ceases to have any corporate existence.

 

(c)                                  Survival of CollaGenex Obligations.  All representations, warranties, covenants and other undertakings given by CollaGenex, including but not limited to those set forth in Section 8(b) shall survive for a period of eighteen months after the Last Closing.

(i)                                     any material representation or warranty of Shareholders or SansRosa in this Agreement, or any other written statement furnished by Shareholders to CollaGenex, being breached or misrepresented or proved to be false when made; provided, however, that no Shareholder shall indemnify CollaGenex for any representation or warranty made by any other Shareholder in paragraphs 6(f) (ii) or 6(g) as a representation or warranty made only as to itself and not jointly and severally; or

 

(ii)                                  any breach of a covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of any Shareholder; or

 

(iii)                               any event, fact or omission in the operation of the business which occurred prior to the Closing not expressly disclosed in the Financial Statements or otherwise disclosed in this Agreement.

 

Costs or expenses covered by this indemnity shall include, without limitation, all costs, expenses and interest including attorneys’ fees, but shall not include any consequential, punitive or other extraordinary damages

 

(f)                                    Timing and Size of Claims.  CollaGenex may, prior to the expiration of the respective survival period referenced in this Article 10, assert a right to indemnity under this Agreement, provided, however, that CollaGenex shall not have the right to bring a claim unless the Shareholders’ liability is for an aggregate sum exceeding $25,000, at which time the Shareholders shall be liable, jointly and severally on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective ownership as shown on Exhibit A (unless otherwise provided in this Agreement), for amounts exceeding such $25,000 threshold, to the extent that the claim is duly substantiated.  The Shareholders’ total liability for all such claims made, if any, under the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall not, absent fraud, exceed the amount of the maximum Purchase Price, excluding the Earn Out Consideration, that might be payable under this Agreement, and shall be payable only out of future amounts that might be payable by CollaGenex to the Shareholders.

 

(g)                                 Offset.  To the extent that any claim arises and is asserted in good faith, CollaGenex may, either as final resolution of such claim or as a provisional measure pending such final resolution, offset the amount of such claim against

 

24



 

future payments of Purchase Price installments (whether of Base Consideration or Earn Out Consideration).

(a)                                  CHANGE OF CONTROL; ASSIGNMENT[**]Change of Control.  This Agreement shall automatically be binding on the parties’ successors, which in the case of CollaGenex shall mean any entity that acquires a majority of its shares or assets in a merger or acquisition transaction.

(c)                                  Assignment of Patents.  CollaGenex shall not assign, transfer or license any rights to the Patent Applications, any patents issued thereon or any SansRosa Product in the United States, except to itself or any affiliate of CollaGenex, without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of the Shareholders, which consent shall be given, or denied, within 30 days of receipt by such representative of a notice from CollaGenex indicating its intention to enter into such a transaction.

Exhibit 10.33

 

Executive Officer Compensation Summary

 

CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) executive officers consist of: (i) Colin W. Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) Nancy C. Broadbent, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; (iii) David F. Pfeiffer, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing; (iv) Klaus Theobald, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer; and (v) Andrew Powell, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

 

The compensation structure for executive officers of the Company consists of three components: base salary, discretionary cash bonuses (typically paid annually) and stock options. The Company does not have employment agreements with any of its executive officers, but has executed indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers.  In addition, the Company has entered into change of control agreements with each of Mr. Stewart, Ms. Broadbent, Mr. Pfeiffer, Mr. Powell and Dr. Theobald.

 

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) seeks to establish base salaries for each position and level of responsibility that are competitive with those of executive officers at other emerging pharmaceutical companies. Annual cash bonuses are awarded to executive officers based on their achievements against a stated list of objectives developed at the beginning of each year by senior management and the Committee. All executive officers are awarded option grants upon joining the Company that are competitive with those at comparable emerging pharmaceutical companies. In addition, the Committee may award additional stock option grants annually. When granting stock options, the Committee considers the recommendation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the relative performance and contributions of each executive officer.

 

Compensation decisions affecting the Company’s executive officers are made on an annual basis by the Committee. On December 12, 2005, the Committee approved the terms of compensation (exclusive of option grants) to be paid to the Company’s executive officers, including the base salary for 2006, as follows:

 

                                          Mr. Stewart. The Committee approved a 3.6% increase in Mr. Stewart’s base salary for 2006, as well as a $238,420 bonus. As a result of the increase, Mr. Stewart’s base salary is now $377,000.

 

                                          Ms. Broadbent. The Committee approved a 7.0% increase in Ms. Broadbent’s base salary for 2006, as well as a $133,952 bonus. As a result of the increase, Ms. Broadbent’s base salary is now $256,000.

 

                                          Mr. Pfeiffer. The Committee approved a 3.5% increase in Mr. Pfeiffer’s base salary for 2006, as well as a $113,575 bonus. As a result of the increase, Mr. Pfeiffer’s base salary is now $264,750.

 



 

                                          Mr. Theobald. The Committee approved a 3.5% increase in Mr. Theobald’s base salary for 2006, as well as a $130,000 bonus. As a result of the increase, Mr. Theobald’s base salary is now $269,100.

 

                                          Mr. Powell. The Committee approved a 3.5% increase in Mr. Powell’s base salary for 2006, as well as a $97,060 bonus. As a result of the increase, Mr. Powell’s base salary is now $238,050.
