(a development stage company) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Pharmacyclics, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pharmacyclics") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's interim financial information. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 1998. The results of operations for the nine-months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be reported for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999 or for any other future period. REVENUE RECOGNITION License fees are recognized as revenue when earned, as evidenced by achievement of the specified milestones and the absence of any ongoing performance obligation. Contract and grant revenues are recognized as earned, primarily based on costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion, pursuant to the terms of each agreement. License, contract and grant revenues are generally not subject to repayment. Any amounts received in advance of performance are recorded as deferred revenue. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include costs associated with collaborative agreements. Research and development costs consist of direct and indirect internal costs related to specific projects as well as fees paid to other entities which conduct certain research activities on behalf of the Company. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS All highly liquid investments purchased with maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and investments as "available-for-sale." For all periods presented, the cost of investments approximates their fair market value. NOTE 2 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and have been excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. 6 7 PHARMACYCLICS, INC. (a development stage company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 3 - EQUITY In February 1998, the Company sold 2,012,500 shares of its Common Stock in a public offering, at a price of $21.75 per share, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $40,800,000. In February 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 862,190 shares of Common Stock at $19.05 per share for net proceeds of $16,300,000. In November 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 580,000 shares of Common Stock at $14.00 per share for net proceeds of $8,100,000. The Company filed and had declared effective on April 22, 1997, a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resales of the securities purchased in both private placements. NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Effective July 1998, Pharmacyclics adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a year end financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Similar information should be provided in the notes to interim financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from nonowner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income (loss), which are currently excluded from the results of operations, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale securities. The Company's total comprehensive losses were as follows (in thousands):

7 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS In addition to historical information, this report contains predictions, estimates and other forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results could differ materially from any future performance suggested in this report as a result of the factors, including those discussed in "Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results," elsewhere in this report and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. OVERVIEW Pharmacyclics is a pharmaceutical company developing energy-potentiating drugs to improve radiation therapy and chemotherapy of cancer, and to enable or improve the photodynamic therapy of certain cancers, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and retinal diseases. The Company is currently in multicenter Phase III clinical trials with XCYTRIN(TM) (a gadolinium texaphyrin molecule also known as "Gd-Tex") as a radiation sensitizer to improve the efficacy of radiation therapy of brain metastases resulting from a variety of cancers, including those of the lung and breast. The Company has also completed enrollment in a Phase I clinical trial for ANTRIN(TM) photosensitizer to evaluate its safety and efficacy for photoangioplasty treatment of patients with atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease. LUTRIN(TM) photosensitizer is in multicenter Phase II clinical trials to evaluate its safety and efficacy for use in the treatment of recurrent breast cancers to the chest wall, which are accessible to illumination by externally-applied light. The National Cancer Institute ("NCI") intends to conduct several Phase I clinical trials of XCYTRIN and several Phase I clinical trials of LUTRIN, each for a variety of additional cancer indications. In addition, the Company has conducted preclinical studies with OPTRIN(TM) photosensitizer for use in certain ophthalmic diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration ("ARMD"). In October 1997, the Company entered into a collaborative agreement with Nycomed Imaging A/S ("Nycomed") to sell and market LUTRIN for cancer therapy outside the United States, Canada and Japan. In December 1997, the Company entered into an evaluation and license agreement with Alcon Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. ("Alcon") under which Alcon obtained the right to conduct worldwide development, marketing and sales of OPTRIN photosensitizer for ophthalmology indications. Alcon is conducting Phase I/II studies in patients with ARMD. To date, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to research and development. No revenues have been derived from product sales, and the Company does not expect to receive product revenues for at least the next several years. The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception in 1991 and, as of March 31, 1999, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.4 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses over the next several years as it continues to incur increasing costs of research and development, in addition to costs related to clinical trials and manufacturing activities. The Company expects that losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that such fluctuations may be substantial. The Company's ability to achieve profitability is dependent upon its ability, alone or with others, to successfully complete the development of its products under development, and obtain required regulatory clearances and successfully manufacture and market these products. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues Revenues were $246,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999, compared to $452,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 1998. Contract revenue in fiscal 1999 and 1998 consisted of the reimbursement of research and development costs associated with the Company's corporate collaboration agreements. Revenues for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1999 were $700,000 compared to $3,366,000 in the comparable fiscal 1998 period. License revenue in fiscal 1998 consisted of $2,700,000 of license fees related to non-refundable license payments received in connection with the Company's two corporate collaboration agreements. 8 9 Research and Development Research and development expenses for the three-months ended March 31, 1999, were $5,450,000 compared to $3,573,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 1998, which represents a 52.5% increase. For the nine-months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, research and development expenses were $14,787,000 and $9,655,000, respectively, an increase of 53.2%. The increases in research and development expenses in both periods were mainly attributable to increased clinical trial costs, greater drug purchases and greater personnel costs. Pharmacyclics has four drugs in clinical trials. XCYTRIN, a radiation sensitizer, is in a pivotal Phase III trial for the treatment of brain metastases; LUTRIN, a photosensitizer, is in a Phase II trial in breast cancer; ANTRIN, a photosensitizer for photoangioplasty, is in a Phase I trial for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease; and OPTRIN, a photosensitizer for the photodynamic treatment of age-related macular degeneration, is in a Phase I/II trial. The Company expects research and development spending to increase further over the next several years as product development, clinical trials and core research efforts continue to expand. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses for the three-months ended March 31, 1999, were $786,000 compared to $476,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 1998, which represents a 65.1% increase. For the nine-months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, general and administrative expenses were $2,034,000 and $1,376,000, respectively, or an increase of 47.8%. The increase in both periods was primarily related to increases in personnel and related expenses and costs associated with hiring new employees. Interest Income, Net Interest income, net was $807,000 and $768,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, representing an increase of 5.1%. For the nine-months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, interest income, net was $2,628,000 and $1,738,000, respectively, or an increase of 51.2%. The increases were primarily attributable to increased earnings from higher investment balances resulting from a public equity offering completed in February 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal sources of working capital have been private and public equity financings and proceeds from collaborative research and development agreements, as well as grant and contract revenues and interest income. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $56,834,000 in cash, cash equivalents and investments. Net cash used in operating activities of $12,855,000 during the nine-months ended March 31, 1999 resulted primarily from the net loss for the period. Net cash used in operating activities of $4,856,000 during the nine-months ended March 31, 1998 resulted primarily from the net loss for the period and an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, noncash charges for depreciation expense and a write-down of equipment. 9 10 Cash provided by investing activities of $3,687,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 1999, consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of investments, net of purchases. Cash used in investing activities of $27,796,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 1998, consisted primarily of purchases of investments, net of proceeds from the sale of investments. Net cash provided by financing activities of $246,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 1999 consisted of proceeds from the sale of stock, partially offset by payments under capital lease obligations. Net cash provided by financing activities of $40,806,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 1998, consisted of proceeds from the sale of Common Stock, partially offset by payments under capital lease obligations. Based on the current status of its product development and commercialization plans, the Company believes its cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments will be adequate to satisfy its capital needs through at least the calendar year 2000. However, the Company's actual capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the status of product development; the time and cost involved in conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals; filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims; competing technological and market developments; and the ability of the Company to market and distribute its products and establish new collaborative and licensing arrangements. The Company's forecast of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. The factors described above will impact the Company's future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds. The Company may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financings, collaborative relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that such additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to the Company, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to existing stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Collaborative arrangements, if necessary to raise additional funds, may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies, products or marketing territories. The failure of the Company to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results." IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 The Company believes that with upgrades to its existing software and conversions to new software, all of which are readily available in the market, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for its internal computer systems. All required modifications and conversions of computer systems that are critical to the Company's business operations are expected to be completed no later than June 30, 1999 which is prior to the estimated occurrence of any Year 2000 issues. The Company has initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers and service providers to determine the extent to which the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. There is no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted and will not have an adverse impact on the Company's systems. The Company estimates that the cost of required upgrades and conversions will not have a significant impact on its results of operations. 10 11 FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS UNCERTAINTIES RELATED TO CLINICAL TRIALS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT All of the Company's product candidates are in development and have not generated product sales revenue to date, and there can be no assurance that any of the Company's products under development will be commercialized or will generate product sales revenue in the future. To achieve profitable operations, the Company, alone or with collaborative partners, must successfully research, develop, obtain regulatory approval for, manufacture, introduce, market and distribute its products under development. The time frame necessary to achieve these goals for any individual product is long and uncertain. Most of the Company's product candidates are generally in early stages of development and will require significant additional research and development, preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. A number of factors will impact the timing and ability of the Company to successfully complete clinical trials for its products under development. Before obtaining regulatory clearance for the commercial sale of any of its products under development, the Company must demonstrate through preclinical studies and clinical trials that the potential product is safe and efficacious for use in humans for each target indication. The Company has conducted and plans to continue extensive and costly clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of its potential products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be permitted to undertake or continue its intended clinical trials for any of its potential products or, if permitted, that such products will be demonstrated to be safe and efficacious. The rate of completion of the Company's clinical trials is dependent upon, among other factors, the rate of patient enrollment. Patient enrollment is a function of many factors, including the nature of the Company's clinical trial protocols, existence of competing protocols, size and longevity of the target patient population, proximity of patients to clinical sites and eligibility criteria for the trials. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain adequate levels of patient enrollment in its clinical trials. Delays in planned patient enrollment may result in increased costs, delays or termination of clinical trials, which could have a material adverse affect on the Company. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") may suspend clinical trials at any time if, among other reasons, it concludes that patients participating in such trials are being exposed to unacceptable health risks. The Company also relies on third parties to assist the Company in conducting, overseeing and monitoring its clinical trials. If such third parties fail to perform under their agreements with the Company or fail to meet regulatory standards in the performance of their obligations under such agreements, such clinical trials may be delayed or halted. The Company's reliance on assistance from third parties with respect to its clinical trials is likely to increase as the Company expands the number and scope of its clinical trials. Additionally, demands on the Company's clinical staff have been increasing and are expected to continue to increase as a result of later-stage clinical trials of its products in development and its monitoring of additional Phase I clinical trials of XCYTRIN and LUTRIN for various indications which are being funded by the NCI. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively oversee and monitor these multiple clinical trials. The Company's inability to effectively manage multiple concurrent clinical trials would result in increased costs or delays of the Company's clinical trials. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the necessary data and submit a new drug application ("NDA") as scheduled even if clinical trials are completed or that such application will be reviewed and cleared by the FDA in a timely manner, if at all. Data obtained from preclinical studies and clinical trials of the products under development by the Company are not necessarily indicative of results that will be obtained from subsequent or more extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials. Moreover, such data is susceptible to varying interpretations which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. In advanced clinical development, numerous factors may be involved that may lead to different results in larger, later-stage trials from those obtained in earlier-stage trials. 11 12 A number of companies in the pharmaceutical industry, including biotechnology companies, have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after promising results in earlier trials. The failure to adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a product under development could delay or prevent regulatory clearance of the potential product and would have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's clinical trials will demonstrate the sufficient levels of safety and efficacy necessary to obtain the requisite regulatory approval or will result in marketable products. NO ASSURANCE OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE There can be no assurance that, if approved for marketing, any of the Company's products under development will achieve market acceptance. The degree of market acceptance will depend upon a number of factors, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, the establishment and demonstration in the medical community of the clinical efficacy and safety of the Company's product candidates and their potential advantages over existing therapeutic products, diagnostic and/or imaging techniques, and pricing and reimbursement policies of government and third-party payers. There can be no assurance that physicians, patients, payers or the medical community in general will accept and utilize any products that may be developed by the Company. HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES; UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception in April 1991 and, as of March 31, 1999, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.4 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses over the next several years as it continues to incur increasing costs of research and development, in addition to increasing costs related to later stage clinical trials and manufacturing activities. The Company's ability to achieve profitability is dependent upon its ability, alone or with others, to successfully complete the development of its proposed products, obtain the required regulatory clearances and manufacture and market its proposed products. To date, the Company has not generated revenue from the commercial sale of its products and does not expect to receive any such revenue in the near future. All revenues to date have resulted primarily from non-refundable license, contract research and development and milestone payments and, to a lesser extent, funding from one government research grant. GOVERNMENT REGULATION; NO ASSURANCE OF REGULATORY APPROVALS The manufacture and marketing of the Company's products and its research and development activities are subject to extensive regulation for safety, efficacy and quality by numerous government authorities in the United States and abroad. Before receiving FDA clearance to market a product, the Company will have to demonstrate that the product is safe and effective on the patient population that will be treated. Clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing of products are subject to the rigorous testing and approval process of the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory authorities. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern and influence the testing, manufacture, labeling, advertising, distribution and promotion of drugs and medical devices. As a result, clinical trials and regulatory approval can take a number of years to accomplish and require the expenditure of substantial resources. Data obtained from clinical trials are susceptible to varying interpretations which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory clearances. In addition, delays or rejections may be encountered based upon additional government regulation from future legislation or administrative action or changes in FDA policy during the period of product development, clinical trials and FDA regulatory review. Similar delays also may be encountered in foreign countries. There can be no assurance that requisite FDA approvals or those of foreign regulatory authorities will be obtained on a timely basis, if at all, or that any approvals granted will cover the clinical indications for which the Company may seek approval. Marketing or promoting a drug for an unapproved indication is subject to very strict controls under The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (the "1997 FDA Act"). Furthermore, clearance may entail ongoing requirements for postmarketing studies. The manufacture and marketing of drugs are subject to continuing FDA and foreign regulatory review and later discovery of previously unknown issues with a product, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions, 12 13 including withdrawal of the product from the market. Failure to obtain or maintain requisite governmental approvals, failure to obtain approvals of the clinically intended uses or the identification of adverse side effects of the Company's products under development could delay or preclude the Company from further developing a particular product or from marketing its products, or could limit the commercial use of its products, any of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Manufacturers of drugs also are required to comply with the applicable FDA good manufacturing practices ("GMP") regulations, which include requirements relating to quality control and quality assurance as well as the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Manufacturing facilities are subject to inspection by the FDA, including unannounced inspection, and must be licensed before they can be used in commercial manufacturing of the Company's products. There can be no assurance that the Company or its present or future suppliers will be able to comply with the applicable GMP regulations and other FDA regulatory requirements. The Company may elect to seek approval of XCYTRIN and LUTRIN under the fast track ("Fast Track") provisions codified in the 1997 FDA Act. Significant uncertainty exists as to the extent to which such changes will result in accelerated review and approval. Further, the FDA has not made available comprehensive information with respect to the 1997 FDA Act and retains considerable discretion to determine eligibility for Fast Track review and approval. Accordingly, the FDA could employ such discretion to deny eligibility of XCYTRIN or LUTRIN as a candidate for Fast Track review or to require additional clinical trials or other information before approving either product. A determination that XCYTRIN or LUTRIN is not eligible for accelerated review or delays and additional expenses associated with generating a response to any such request for additional trials could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition to the drug approval requirements applicable to the Company's LUTRIN, ANTRIN and OPTRIN photosensitizer products for photodynamic therapy of certain cancers, atherosclerosis and ARMD, the Company or its collaborators will also need to obtain the approval of the FDA and other foreign regulatory authorities for the laser, light emitting diodes ("LEDs") or associated light delivery devices used in such treatments. Such device approval requires additional regulatory submissions both by the Company or its collaborators and by the manufacturers of such devices, which must include clinical data obtained from the use of such light delivery devices, and may result in additional delays or difficulties in obtaining approval for the use of LUTRIN, ANTRIN or OPTRIN as photosensitizers. Manufacturers of such light delivery devices currently are under no obligation to the Company to file or pursue such applications and any delay or refusal on their part to do so could have a material adverse affect on the Company. The Company submitted an NDA for its GADOLITE(R) oral suspension product in September 1995 and received an "approvable" letter in December 1996 which included a number of issues that must be addressed by the Company. The Company is in the process of addressing these issues, which also require resolution of current manufacturing uncertainties relating to GADOLITE. There can be no assurance that the FDA will decide that the NDA satisfies the criteria for approval. In 1996, the Company received approval from the Medicines Control Agency to market GADOLITE in the United Kingdom. In April 1998, the Company received approval from the Health Protection Branch of Health Canada to market GADOLITE in Canada. GADOLITE will not be marketed in Europe or Canada until product manufacturing and product stability issues are resolved. Although the process for regulatory approval in Western Europe is similar to that in the United States, there are numerous and sometimes unique risks associated with the approval of a marketing authorization in Europe. There can be no assurance that authorization to market GADOLITE in other member states would be granted under the European Union's mutual recognition procedure. 13 14 UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS The Company believes its success depends upon, among other things, the Company's ability to protect its intellectual property position. The Company, therefore, aggressively pursues, prosecutes, protects and defends its patent applications, issued patents, trade secrets, and licensed patent and trade secret rights covering, e.g., compositions of matter, methods of use and synthetic methodology relating to its products under development. The Company owns or has licensed various rights to patents and pending applications in the U.S., Europe, Japan and elsewhere throughout the world. The issued U.S. patents expire between 2006 and 2016. There can be no assurance that the Company will have continued success in prosecuting its patent applications or that patents will issue in respect of those patent applications. Even if patents are issued and maintained, there can be no assurance that the patents are or will be of adequate scope to benefit the Company, or that any such patents would be upheld as valid and enforceable with respect to third parties. Because there are a number of third-party patents issued and third-party patent applications filed relating to biometallic and expanded porphyrin chemistries, the Company believes there is some risk that current and potential competitors and other third parties have filed or in the future will file applications for, or have received or in the future will receive, patents and will obtain additional proprietary rights relating to similar or even the same compositions, methods, or designs of the Company or its products. It is pertinent, however, that patents and patent applications owned or licensed by the Company cover various aspects, ranging from base compositions, to methods of manufacture, to processes for use and related applications, of the biometallic and expanded porphyrin chemistries peculiar to the Company's products. In any event, if any third-party patents include claims that are alleged to be infringed and are upheld as valid and enforceable, the Company could nonetheless be prevented from practicing the subject matter claimed in such patents, or would be required to obtain licenses from the patent owners of each of such patents or to redesign its products or processes to avoid infringement. There can be no assurance that any such licenses would be available or, if available, would be on terms acceptable to the Company, or that the Company would be successful in any attempt to redesign its products or processes to avoid infringement. Litigation or other legal proceedings may be necessary to defend against claims of infringement, to enforce patents of the Company, or to protect trade secrets, and could result in substantial cost to, and diversion of efforts by, the Company. The Company is aware of several U.S. patents owned or licensed to Schering AG ("Schering") that relate to the use of agents that enhance magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI") scans. The Company has obtained opinions of special patent counsel that the technologies employed by the Company for its imaging product under development and its therapeutic agent that is detectable by MRI do not infringe the claims of such patents; however, there can be no assurances that Schering would not allege infringement of one or more of those patents. If infringement were alleged, a legal determination of the infringement of any such patents by any Company product could have a material adverse affect on the Company's business. Further, any allegation by Schering of infringement of patent rights by the Company would likely result in significant legal costs and require substantial management resources. Schering has sent communications to the Company suggesting that GADOLITE may infringe certain of such Schering patents. The Company is aware that Schering has asserted patent rights against at least one other company in the contrast agent imaging market and that a number of companies have entered into licensing arrangements with Schering with respect to one or more of such patents. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain a license from Schering, if required. Even if a license could be obtained, there can be no assurance that the Company would receive commercially reasonable terms. The Company also relies upon trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain its competitive position. It is the Company's policy to require its employees, consultants and advisors to execute appropriate confidentiality and assignment-of-inventions agreements in connection with their employment, consulting or advisory relationships with the Company. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed by or made known to the individual during the course of the individual's relationship with the Company is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in 14 15 specific circumstances. The agreements also provide that all inventions conceived by an employee (or consultant or advisor to the extent appropriate for the services provided) during the course of the relationship shall be the exclusive property of the Company, other than inventions unrelated to the Company and developed entirely with the individual's own time and resources. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, and, in some instances, there may not be any appropriate remedy available to the Company for breach of the agreements. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that competitors will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques, reverse engineer such information and techniques, or otherwise gain access to the Company's proprietary technology, or that the Company can meaningfully protect the rights in unpatented proprietary technology. DEPENDENCE UPON THIRD PARTIES The Company is dependent upon third parties for support in product development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution. Pursuant to its collaboration with Nycomed, the Company is dependent upon Nycomed for a portion of its LUTRIN development costs in the form of milestone payments, and for the commercialization, when and if LUTRIN is approved, of this product outside the United States, Canada and Japan. In the field of macular degeneration, the Company is dependent upon Alcon for preclinical and clinical studies, regulatory filings and sales and marketing of OPTRIN for ophthalmology indications worldwide. The Company has entered into agreements with E-Z-EM, Inc. and E-Z-EM, Ltd. (together "E-Z-EM") for sales, marketing and distribution of GADOLITE in Europe and North America. The respective agreements may be terminated by E-Z-EM, Alcon or Nycomed, at their election. There can be no assurance that any of these parties will fulfill their obligations in a manner that maximizes revenues for the Company. The failure by the Company to receive milestone payments or any reduction or discontinuance of efforts by the Company's partners or the termination of these alliances could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company is also dependent upon the NCI for the sponsoring and funding of certain of the clinical trials of the Company's XCYTRIN radiation sensitizer and LUTRIN photosensitizer products in development. There can be no assurance that the NCI will enlist support for all such trials or that it will continue its funding. If such trials are not supported by the NCI, the Company may be required to fund its own continuation of such trials or reduce the number of indications for which it would pursue clinical trials. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in entering into additional strategic alliances for the development or commercialization of other product candidates, nor that any such alliances, if entered into, will be on terms favorable to the Company or that they will ultimately be successful. The Company has no expertise in the development of light sources and associated light delivery devices required for the Company's photoangioplasty and photodynamic therapy products under development. Successful development, manufacturing, approval and distribution of the Company's photosensitization products will require third party participation for the required light sources, associated light delivery devices and other equipment. The Company currently obtains lasers from Diomed, Inc.; LEDs from Quantum Devices, Inc.; and cylindrically diffusing light fibers from Rare Earth Medical on a purchase order basis, and such entities are under no obligation to continue to deliver light devices on an ongoing basis. Failure to maintain such relationships may require the Company to develop additional supply sources which may require additional regulatory approvals and could materially delay commercialization of the Company's LUTRIN and ANTRIN products under development. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish or maintain relationships with other supply sources on a commercially reasonable basis, if at all, or that the enabling devices will receive regulatory approval for use in photoangioplasty or photodynamic therapy. 15 16 LIMITED MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE; DEPENDENCE UPON CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS The Company must manufacture its products in commercial quantities either directly or through third parties, in compliance with regulatory requirements and at an acceptable cost. XCYTRIN, LUTRIN, ANTRIN and OPTRIN bulk drug substances are the subject of a manufacturing and supply agreement with Celanese, Ltd. ("Celanese"), an affiliate of Hoechst Celanese Corporation ("HCC"). The Company does not have its own manufacturing facilities. Supply agreements are being negotiated with additional manufacturers who have the ability to manufacture, fill, label and package such additional necessary materials prior to commercial introduction of its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into additional supply agreements on commercially acceptable terms or with manufacturers who will be able to deliver supplies in appropriate quantity and quality to meet commercial demand or that third party manufacturers will perform their contractual obligations. Any failure by these third parties to supply the Company's or the NCI's requirements for clinical trial materials would have a material adverse effect upon the completion of such trials and could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company. In September 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with HCC, a manufacturer of chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates, for the process optimization, scale-up and supply of the Company's texaphyrin-based products. In October 1997, HCC assigned its rights and obligations under that agreement to Celanese in connection with HCC's corporate restructuring. The agreement presently grants Celanese exclusive worldwide manufacturing rights and requires Celanese to supply all of Pharmacyclics' requirements of XCYTRIN and lutetium texaphyrin drug substance for late-stage clinical and commercial use. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company received indications from Celanese that, due to a change in its business focus, Celanese wishes to reduce the scope of its obligations under the agreement. The Company and Celanese then initiated discussions aimed at possible modifications to the Agreement to allow the Company to purchase commercial material from additional sources while relieving Celanese of certain obligations under the agreement. The Company believes it is in its best interest to have multiple sources of drug substance and has identified such multiple additional sources of intermediates and bulk drug substance. Such efforts are likely to consume time and expense and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional supplies of drug substance. Until such situation is resolved, the Company will be subject to uncertainties regarding the willingness or ability of Celanese or such additional suppliers to deliver bulk-drug substance for these products on a timely or commercially attractive basis. The Company is engaged in preliminary discussions with a number of manufacturers of parenteral products regarding process development and validation, filling, labeling and packaging of the finished dosage form of LUTRIN, ANTRIN and OPTRIN. A failure to successfully complete any such agreement could, if the Company could not locate alternate manufacturing capabilities, have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Prior to regulatory approval of the Company's products under development, the Company intends to negotiate supply agreements with manufacturers who will have the ability to manufacture, fill, label and package such materials prior to commercial introduction of such products. There are, however, only a limited number of contract manufacturers that operate under current federal and state GMP regulations and are capable of manufacturing the Company's products. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into supply agreements on commercially acceptable terms with manufacturers or that the Company will enter into supply agreements with manufacturers who will be able to deliver supplies in appropriate quantity and quality to develop and commercialize its products. Any interruption of supply of its products could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 16 17 LACK OF MARKETING AND SALES EXPERIENCE The Company currently does not have marketing, sales or distribution experience. Therefore, to service markets in which it has retained sales and marketing rights and in the event any of the above agreements is terminated, the Company must develop a sales force with technical expertise. The Company does not have any experience in developing, training or managing a sales force. The Company will incur substantial additional expenses in developing, training and managing such an organization. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to build such a sales force, that the cost of establishing such a sales force will not exceed any product revenues, or that the Company's direct marketing and sales efforts will be successful. In addition, the Company competes with many other companies that currently have extensive and well-funded marketing and sales operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's marketing and sales efforts will compete successfully against such other companies. RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND INTENSE COMPETITION The pharmaceutical industry is subject to rapid and substantial technological change. Technological competition in the industry from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, governmental entities and others diversifying into the field is intense and is expected to increase. Many of these entities have significantly greater research and development capabilities than the Company, as well as substantially more marketing, manufacturing, financial and managerial resources. These entities represent significant competition for the Company. Acquisitions of, or investments in, competing pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies by large corporations could increase such competitors' financial, marketing, manufacturing and other resources. The Company is a relatively new enterprise and is engaged in the development of novel therapeutic technologies. As a result its resources are limited and it may experience technical challenges inherent in such novel technologies. There can be no assurance that developments of others will not render the Company's products under development or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete, or that the Company will be able to keep pace with technological developments or other market factors Competitors have developed or are in the process of developing technologies that are, or in the future may be, the basis for competitive products. Some of these products may have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing similar therapeutic, diagnostic and/or imaging effects than products being developed by the Company. The Company is aware that one of its competitors in the market for photodynamic therapy drugs has received marketing approval of a product for certain indications in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not develop products that are safer, more effective or less costly than the products developed by the Company and, therefore, present a serious competitive threat to the Company's product offerings. The medical indications for which the Company is developing its therapeutic products can also be treated, in the case of cancer, by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, in the case of atherosclerosis, by surgery (e.g., bypass), angioplasty, atherectomy, the use of stents and drug therapy and in the case of ARMD by laser photocoagulation. These treatments are widely accepted in the medical community and have a long history of use. In addition, technological advances with other therapies for cancer, atherosclerosis and ARMD could make such other therapies more efficacious or cost-effective than XCYTRIN, LUTRIN, ANTRIN or OPTRIN and could render the Company's technology noncompetitive or obsolete. Also, there can be no assurance that physicians will use XCYTRIN as a radiation sensitizer or chemosensitizer in cancer treatment, LUTRIN as a photosensitizer in cancer treatment, ANTRIN as a photosensitizer in photoangioplasty of atherosclerosis or OPTRIN as a photosensitizer in ARMD to replace or supplement established treatments for such diseases or that the therapeutic products the Company is developing will become competitive with current or future treatments. Further, some companies developing photodynamic therapy products are developing specialized light delivery devices for such products, which, when integrated with their product offering, may afford them a competitive advantage relative to the Company's strategy of sourcing such devices from third parties. 17 18 FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS; UNCERTAINTY OF ACCESS TO CAPITAL MARKETS The Company has expended and will continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of its products. The Company will require additional funds for these purposes, to establish additional clinical- and commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to provide for the marketing and distribution of its products. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among others, continued scientific progress of its research and development programs, the ability of the Company to establish additional collaborative arrangements, changes in its existing collaborative relationships, progress with preclinical studies and clinical trials, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory clearance, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and competing technological and market developments. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents, and short-and long-term investments will be adequate to fund the Company's operations through at least the calendar year 2000. However, the Company's actual capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the status of product development; the time and cost involved in conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals; filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims; competing technological and market developments; and the ability of the Company to market and distribute its products and establish new collaborative and licensing arrangements. The Company may seek to raise any necessary additional funds through equity or debt financings, collaborative arrangements with corporate partners or other sources which may be dilutive to existing stockholders. In addition, in the event that additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners or other partners, such arrangements may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies, product candidates or products under development that the Company would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize itself. No assurance can be given that such additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which would materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. DEPENDENCE UPON QUALIFIED AND KEY PERSONNEL The Company's ability to maintain its competitive position depends on its ability to attract and retain qualified management and scientific personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract or retain such persons. The loss of key personnel or the failure to obtain additional needed personnel or expertise could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company relies on consultants and advisors to assist in formulating its research and development strategy. All of the Company's consultants and advisors are employed by entities other than the Company and may have commitments to, or consulting or advisory contracts with, other entities that may affect their ability to contribute to the Company. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 The Company believes that with upgrades to its existing software and conversions to new software, all of which are readily available in the market, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for its internal computer systems. All required modifications and conversions of computer systems that are critical to the Company's business operations are expected to be completed no later than June 30, 1999 which is prior to the estimated occurrence of any Year 2000 issues. The Company has initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers and service providers to determine the extent to which the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. There is no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted and will not have an adverse impact on the Company's systems. The Company estimates that the cost of required upgrades and conversions will not have a significant impact on its results of operations. 18 19 VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE The market prices for securities of small capitalization biotechnology companies (including the Company) have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Future announcements concerning the Company, its competitors or other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including the results of preclinical testing and clinical trials, technological innovations or new therapeutic products, governmental regulation, developments in patent or other proprietary rights, litigation, public concern as to the safety of products developed by the Company or others, comments by securities analysts and general market conditions may have a significant effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, the realization of any of the risks described in these "Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results" could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING HEALTH CARE REIMBURSEMENT AND REFORM The future revenues and profitability of pharmaceutical and related companies as well as the availability of capital to such companies may be affected by the continuing efforts of government and third-party payers to contain or reduce costs of health care through various means. For example, in certain foreign markets pricing or profitability of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to government control. In the United States, given recent federal and state government initiatives directed at lowering the total cost of health care, it is likely that the U.S. Congress and state legislatures will continue to focus on health care reform and the cost of prescription pharmaceuticals and on the reform of the Medicare and Medicaid systems. While the Company cannot predict whether any such legislative or regulatory proposals will be adopted, the announcement or adoption of such proposals could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's ability to commercialize its products successfully will depend in part on the extent to which appropriate reimbursement levels for the cost of such products and related treatment are obtained by governmental authorities, private health insurers and other organizations, such as health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"). Third-party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. Also, the trend toward managed health care in the United States and the concurrent growth of organizations such as HMOs, which could control or significantly influence the purchase of health care services and products, as well as legislative proposals to reform health care or reduce government insurance programs, may all result in lower prices for the Company's products. The cost containment measures that health care payers and providers are instituting and the effect of any health care reform could materially adversely affect the Company's ability to operate profitably. PRODUCT LIABILITY EXPOSURE The testing, manufacture, marketing and sale of the products under development by the Company entail an inherent risk that product liability claims will be asserted against the Company. Although the Company is insured against such risks up to $10,000,000 annual aggregate limit in connection with clinical trials and commercial sales of its products under development, there can be no assurance that the Company's present product liability insurance is adequate. A successful product liability claim in excess of the Company's insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations and may prevent the Company from obtaining adequate product liability insurance in the future on commercially desirable or reasonable terms. In addition, there can be no assurance that product liability coverage will continue to be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost. An inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of pharmaceutical products developed by the Company. A product liability claim or recall would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 19 20 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS; ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS In connection with its research and development activities and its manufacture of materials and products under development, the Company is subject to federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and policies governing the use, generation, manufacture, storage, air emission, effluent discharge, handling and disposal of certain materials, biological specimens and wastes. Although the Company believes that it has complied with the applicable laws, regulations and policies in all material respects and has not been required to take significant action to correct any material noncompliance, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental and health and safety regulations in the future. The Company's research and development involves the controlled use of hazardous materials, including but not limited to certain hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials. Although the Company believes that its safety procedures for handling and disposing of such materials comply with the standards prescribed by state and federal regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of such an occurrence, the Company could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could exceed the resources of the Company. NO DIVIDENDS The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock to date and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS The ability of the Board of Directors of the Company to issue shares of Preferred Stock without stockholder approval and a stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company may, alone or in combination, have certain anti-takeover effects. The Company is also subject to provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law which may make certain business combinations more difficult. 20 21 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
