Note 1 — The Company and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of the Company

 

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company and operate in one reportable segment which is focused on discovering and developing innovative small-molecule drugs for the treatment of cancer and immune-mediated diseases. Our mission and goal is to build a viable biopharmaceutical company that commercializes novel therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase duration of life and resolve serious unmet medical healthcare needs. We identify promising product candidates using our scientific development expertise, develop our products in a rapid, cost-efficient manner and pursue commercialization and/or development partners when and where appropriate.

Presently, we have three product candidates in clinical development and several molecules in preclinical lead optimization. To date, nearly all of our resources have been dedicated to the research and development of our products, and we have not generated any commercial revenues from the sale of our products. We do not anticipate the generation of any product commercial revenues until we receive the necessary regulatory and marketing approvals to launch one of our products.

We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception in 1991, and as of September 30, 2011, had an accumulated deficit of $427,663,000. Based upon the current status of our product development and plans, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be adequate to satisfy our capital needs through at least the next twelve months. However, the process of developing and commercializing our products requires significant research and development, preclinical testing and clinical trials, manufacturing arrangements as well as regulatory and marketing approvals. These activities, together with our general and administrative expenses, are expected to result in significant operating losses until the commercialization of our products, or partner collaborations, generate sufficient revenues to cover our expenses. We expect that losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that such fluctuations may be substantial. Our achieving profitability depends upon our ability to successfully complete the development of our products, obtain required regulatory approvals and successfully manufacture and market our products. 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pharmacyclics, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmacyclics (Europe) Limited. There has been no significant financial activity to date related to the subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The U.S. dollar is our functional currency for all of our consolidated operations.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us, without audit, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
