NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations for
interim financial statements. These financial statements do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, the financial statements presented contain all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the
periods presented. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 which was declared effective on
October 26, 2000
(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities (FAS 133), which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for
hedging activities. FAS 133, as amended by FAS 138, requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (1) a hedge
of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability
or an unrecognized firm commitment, (2) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash
flows of a forecasted transaction, or (3) a hedge of the foreign currency
exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm
commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated
forecasted transaction. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative (that is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the
derivative and resulting designation.
As amended by FAS 137, FAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. At the date of initial application, an
entity shall choose to either (1) recognize as an asset or liability in the
statement of financial position all embedded derivative instruments that are
required to be separated from their host contracts or (2) select either January
1, 1998 or January 1, 1999 as a transition date for embedded derivatives. If the
entity chooses to select a transition date, it shall recognize as separate
assets and liabilities only those derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments
issued, acquired, or substantively modified by the entity on or after the
selected transition date. That choice is not permitted to be applied to only
some of an entity's individual hybrid instruments and must be applied on an all-
or-none basis.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the
provisions of FAS 133. Management does not expect the adoption of the provisions
of FAS 133, as amended by FAS 138, (and the method of adoption) to have a
material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities (FAS 140), which replaces Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (FAS 125). FAS 140 revises
the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of
financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries
over most of FAS 125's provisions without reconsideration.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the
provisions of FAS 140. Management does not expect the adoption of the provisions
of FAS 140 to have a material impact on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

<PAGE>
On December 3, 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB
101), which summarizes certain of the SEC Staff's views on applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
In general, SAB 101 provides that if a transaction is within the scope of
specific authoritative literature that provides revenue recognition guidance,
that literature should be applied. However, in the absence of authoritative
literature addressing a specific arrangement or a specific industry, the SEC
staff will consider the existing authoritative accounting standards as well as
the broad revenue recognition criteria specified in the FASB's conceptual
framework that contain basic guidelines for revenue recognition.
As amended, the guidance contained in SAB 101 is effective October 1, 2000.
Changes in the application of accounting principles resulting from the guidance
contained in SAB 101 are reported as accounting changes in interim financial
statements.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the
provisions of SAB 101. Management does not expect adoption of the provisions of
SAB 101 to have a material impact on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.
(3) Business Combinations
On May 31, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
ThermoGen, Inc. through the issuance of 3,452,909 shares of its Class A common
stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and the Company's results of operations include the results of
ThermoGen from the date of its acquisition. As additional consideration,
outstanding stock options of ThermoGen were converted into options to purchase
475,455 shares of Class B common stock of the Company. The total purchase price
for ThermoGen was determined to be $29,730,000 and has been allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair value as
follows: patents-$6,886,000; trade name-$3,057,000; contracts and customer base-
$15,629,000; net liabilities assumed-$1,365,000; and goodwill-$15,622,000.
Included in goodwill is approximately $10,101,000 related to the establishment
of deferred tax liabilities in conjunction with the purchase.
On May 31, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Emerald BioStructures, Inc. through the issuance of 1,576,602 shares of its
Class A common stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting, and the Company's results of operations include the
results of Emerald Biostructures from the date of its acquisition. The total
purchase price for Emerald BioStructures was determined to be $12,044,000 and
has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
relative fair value as follows: patents-$1,098,000; trade name-$599,000;
contracts and customer base-$4,437,000; proprietary technology-$289,000; net
assets assumed-$1,000; and goodwill-$8,157,000. Included in goodwill is
approximately $2,537,000 related to the establishment of deferred tax
liabilities in conjunction with the purchase.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents combined
results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as if ThermoGen and
Emerald BioStructures had been acquired on January 1, 1999. The pro forma
financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations
that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated on January 1,
1999.

(4) Debt
The Company has a term loan note payable in the amount of $5,000,000. The note
bears interest at the floating 30 day LIBOR rate plus 5.25%. Interest is payable
monthly. The note is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company
and is due on June 1, 2005.
The Company maintains a credit facility in the amount of $15,000,000 that is
available for working capital and acquisition purposes. Loans under this
facility bear interest at the floating 30 day LIBOR rate plus 4%. Amounts
borrowed under this credit facility were $4,700,000 and $0 at September 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively.
The Company has a $12,000,000 construction loan available for draws for the
construction of the Woodridge, Illinois facility. Interest is payable monthly at
the floating prime rate that was 9.5% at September 30, 2000. At September 30,
2000, $3,850,788 had been drawn on the construction loan.
Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company repaid the term loan note payable
and all outstanding debt under the working capital credit facility with a
portion of the net proceeds. In addition, the Company terminated the existing
credit facilities.
(5) Income Taxes
The Company applies the provisions of APB Opinion No. 28 in calculating income
taxes for interim periods and accordingly uses an expected annual effective tax
rate to provide for taxes. A $580,000 income tax benefit was recorded in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 to reflect expected utilization of
losses generated in the current year by carry-back to prior years in which
taxable income was generated.

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share
have been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Pro forma basic and diluted net earning (loss)
per common share, as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations, has been computed for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 as described above, and also gives effect to the
conversion of Class A preferred stock which automatically converted to common
stock immediately prior to the completion of the Company's initial public
offering on October 26, 2000 (using the "as if converted" method) from the
original date of issuance.

(8) Subsequent Events
On October 2, 2000, Dr. Michael T. Flavin, CEO and majority stockholder, made a
$1.5 million loan to the company. The purpose of this loan was to provide
supplemental working capital. However, since the Company cash balance was
sufficient to accommodate working capital requirements without these funds, the
loan was repaid on October 31, 2000.
In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company completed an initial public offering
of 7,360,000 shares of common stock. The Company received net proceeds of $45.5
million. This is net of $2.4 million in expenses relating to the issuance and
distribution of the securities and $3.6 million in underwriting discounts and
commissions. The Company used $9.7 million of the net proceeds to repay in full
and terminate its credit facility, $11.5 million for the mandatory redemption of
outstanding preferred stock and $2.2 million for the optional redemption of
outstanding warrants. Immediately prior to the initial public offering, the
Company reincorporated in Delaware and exchanged its outstanding shares of Class
A convertible preferred stock and Class D preferred stock into 19,044,747 shares
of common stock of the Company, reflecting an 18.65557 for one split of our
common stock. The following table provides information about stockholders'

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Founded in 1987, we believe we were the first independent chemistry company to
offer a broad array of discovery-related medicinal chemistry services to
pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. From a company focused exclusively
on medicinal chemistry services, we have evolved into a full-service drug
discovery technology and services company. Our development of strong
relationships with pharmaceutical companies by initially providing basic
medicinal chemistry services helped us to identify their unmet needs in the
later stages of the drug discovery process. In response, we expanded our service
offerings to include process development, analytical and separations chemistry
and chemical synthesis and scale up. To capitalize on recent advances in
genomics, we have developed technology and services in early-stage proteomics,
combinatorial chemistry and biocatalysis.
In November 2000, MediChem and Degussa-Huls, a premier German specialty
chemicals company, announced a three-year, $5.3 million strategic alliance
research and production agreement, which integrates MediChem's drug discovery
and development service offerings with Degussa's cGMP, large-scale production
capabilities. Under the agreement, MediChem is obligated to notify Degussa
promptly of any product opportunity and any project in the field which may lead
to a large scale manufacturing opportunity within one year, commit qualified and
experienced personnel, facilities, equipment and other resources necessary to
perform its obligation under the Research Program, and actively co-market the
combined capabilities of MediChem's discovery research and process development
and Degussa's manufacturing expertise in the field.
RECENT ACQUISITIONS
On May 31, 2000, we acquired all the outstanding common stock of ThermoGen and
Emerald BioStructures. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and our results of operations for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000 include the operations of ThermoGen and Emerald
BioStructures from their date of acquisition.
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On October 31, 2000, we completed our initial public offering of 7,360,000
shares of common stock (which included 960,000 over-allotment shares) at a
public offering price of $7.00 per share.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared with the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999
Contract revenue
Total contract revenue including related party increased 40% to $5.2 million for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $3.7 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999. A portion of this increase was due
to revenue generated from the May 2000 acquisitions, while the remainder of the
increase is due to general sales growth. Contract revenue excluding related
party increased 44% to $4.3 million for the three-month period ended September
30, 2000, from $3.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999.
Increased contract revenue excluding related party was achieved from chemical
process development, chemical synthesis and scale up. Contract revenue--related
party increased 23% to $843,000 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2000, from $685,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999.
Gross profit
Gross profit from total contract revenue increased 35% to $2.7 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $2.0 million for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit excluding related party
increased 26% to $2.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30,
2000, from $1.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999.
Related party gross profit increased 86% to $568,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000, from $305,000 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999.
11
<PAGE>
Gross profit as a percent of total contract revenue decreased to 51% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000, from 53% for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit excluding related party as a percent of
contract revenue decreased to 48% for the three-month period ended September 30,
2000, from 55% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 due to lower
utilization of scientific staff. The lower utilization is a result of new hires
in scientific staff to meet the needs associated with planned revenue growth.
Since the scientific staff represents a fixed cost to the Company, utilization
varies with changes in contract service revenue volume. Related party gross
profit increased to 67% of related party contract revenue for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000, from 44% for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999. This increase is attributed to a greater number of projects
at higher charge-out rates.
Milestone and intellectual property revenue
Milestone and intellectual property revenue decreased 45% to $650,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $1.2 million for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1999. The entire milestone revenue balance
represented related party activity and resulted from the achievement of contract
milestones with Advanced Life Sciences.
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 92% to $3.1 million for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $1.6 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total contract
revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 17% to 60% for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, from 43% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1999. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses was due primarily to an increase in marketing personnel
to support our expanding customer base, and an increase in facility costs
associated with facilities expansion and integration efforts relating to the
ThermoGen and Emerald BioStructures acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $1.6 million for the three-
month period ended September 30, 2000, from $236,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999. The increase was due to higher depreciation expense
associated with facilities expansion and the incurrence of $1.2 million of
amortization expense resulting from intangible assets acquired in the ThermoGen
and Emerald BioStructures acquisitions.
Other expenses, net
Interest income decreased to $30,000 in the three-month period ended September
30, 2000, from $79,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, as
cash balances decreased due to the payments made for the construction of the new
facility and other working capital requirements.
Other expenses, net increased to $544,000 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000, from $143,000 for the three-month period ended September 30,
1999. This increase included a charge of $264,000 which represented mark-to-
market costs associated with a redeemable stock warrant, and it also included an
increase in interest expense on additional borrowings primarily for the purchase
of land in Woodridge, Illinois and general corporate purposes.
Income taxes
A $580,000 income tax benefit was recorded in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000. This benefit was recorded as a result of expected
utilization of the current year operating loss by carry-back to prior years in
which taxable income was generated.
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared with the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1999
Contract revenue
Total contract revenue including related party increased 44% to $14.1 million
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $9.7 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. A portion of this increase was due
to revenue generated from the May 2000 acquisitions, while the remainder of the
increase is due to general sales growth. Contract revenue excluding related
party increased 51% to $11.9 million for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2000, from $7.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999.
Increased contract revenue excluding related party was achieved across all lines
of service offerings, with the largest increases attributable to combinational
chemistry, chemical process development, and analytical and separations
chemistry. Contract revenue--related party increased 16% to $2.2 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $1.9 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999.

Gross profit
Gross profit from total contract revenue increased 38% to $7.2 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $5.2 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit excluding related party increased
42% to $5.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, from
$4.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. Related party
gross profit increased 23% to $1.3 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000, from $1.1 million for the nine-month period ended September
30, 1999.
Gross profit as a percent of total contract revenue decreased to 51% for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, from 54% for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit excluding related party as a percent of
contract revenue decreased to 50% for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2000, from 53% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 due to lower
utilization of scientific staff. The lower utilization is a result of new hires
in scientific staff to meet the needs associated with planned revenue growth.
Since the scientific staff represents a fixed cost to the Company, utilization
varies with changes in contract service revenue volume. Related party gross
profit increased to 60% of related party contract revenue for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2000, from 57% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999. This increase is attributed to a greater number of projects
at higher charge-out rates.
Milestone and intellectual property revenue
In both the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, we derived
$1.2 million of milestone and intellectual property revenue. The majority of
this revenue, $1.0 million, was related party for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 while the entire $1.2 million was related party for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1999. These revenues resulted from the
achievement of contract milestones with Advanced Life Sciences. The remaining
$222,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 was earned as a
result of fulfilling third party project completion milestones in connection
with our strategic drug development program.
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 69% to $7.3 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $4.3 million for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total contract
revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8% to 52% for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, from 44% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses was due primarily to an increase in marketing personnel
to support our expanding customer base, and an increase in facility costs
associated with facilities expansion and integration efforts relating to the
ThermoGen and Emerald BioStructures acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $2.6 million for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 2000, from $549,000 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1999. The increase was due to higher depreciation expense
associated with facilities expansion and the incurrence of $1.6 million of
amortization expense resulting from the ThermoGen and Emerald BioStructures
acquisitions.
Other expenses, net
Interest income increased to $148,000 in the nine-month period ended September
30, 2000, from $91,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, as
cash balances rose from the sale of preferred stock, and the issuance of term
debt in June 1999.
Other expenses, net increased to $2.8 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000, from $263,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30,
1999. This increase included a charge of $2.2 million which represented mark-to-
market costs associated with a redeemable stock warrant, and it also included an
increase in interest expense on additional borrowings primarily for the purchase
of land in Woodridge, Illinois and general corporate purposes.
Income taxes
A $580,000 income tax benefit was recorded in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000. This benefit was recorded as a result of expected
utilization of the current year operating loss by carry-back to prior years in
which taxable income was generated.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Prior to the initial public offering, we have funded our business through cash
flows from operations, proceeds from borrowings and the issuance of preferred
stock. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, we used
$2.2 million and $.4 million, respectively, in cash flows from operations and in
addition we raised $12.0 million in 1999 through borrowings and the issuance of
preferred stock. On October 26, 2000, an initial public offering was completed
and the net proceeds, after deducting our expenses, were approximately $45.5
million. A portion of the net proceeds from this offering was used to repay in
full and terminate the credit facility.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 and the year ended
December 31, 1999, total capital expenditures were $8.0 million and $4.2
million, respectively. Capital expenditures were incurred predominantly in
connection with our expansion of service offerings, including analytical and
separations chemistry, chemical synthesis and scale up and with our facilities
expansions in 2000. In April 1999, we began to develop a 14-acre site in
Woodridge, Illinois for the construction of a new 100,000 square foot
headquarters and discovery laboratories center. This facility is estimated to
cost $17.5 million for construction and an additional $5.0 million for
laboratory instrumentation, software, furniture and equipment upgrades. A total
of $9.6 million of the estimated total costs of our new facility had been
incurred through September 30, 2000. In May 2000, we received an 18-month
construction commitment for an additional $12.0 million to finance the project.
Upon completion of the project, we anticipate entering into a mortgage loan as a
more permanent form of financing for our facility. The new facility is
anticipated to be operational by the first quarter of 2001. The new offices and
laboratories have been developed with the capability of being expanded an
additional 100,000 square feet.
We believe that the net proceeds from our initial public offering, together with
cash expected to be generated from operations and borrowings under the mortgage
loan, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital needs and
capital expenditures, other than financing necessary to complete future
acquisitions, if any, for at least the next 24 months. Future acquisitions, if
any, could be funded with the net proceeds of this offering and/or the issuance
of debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that attractive
acquisition opportunities will be available to us or will be available at prices
and upon such other terms that are attractive to us. We regularly evaluate
potential acquisitions of other businesses, products and product lines and may
hold discussions regarding such potential acquisitions. As a general rule, we
will publicly announce such acquisitions only after a definitive purchase
agreement has been signed. In addition, in order to meet our long-term liquidity
needs or consummate future acquisitions, we may incur additional indebtedness or
issue additional equity and debt securities, subject to market and other
conditions. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be
available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our failure to raise the funds
necessary to finance our future cash requirements or consummate future
acquisitions could adversely affect our ability to pursue our strategy and could
negatively affect our operations in future periods.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be
read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included within this report. This Form 10-Q
contains "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. Our actual results could differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking statements and therefore, prospective investors
are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results
may differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of
various factors, including, without limitation, a reduction in research and
development spending in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, our
ability to compete in multiple areas of the drug development technology and
services industry, the loss of a significant customer, the termination of
contracts on short notice, our ability to attract and retain scientific
personnel, the impact of government regulations on our service offerings, our
ability to produce proprietary technology, to protect our intellectual property
and to license technologies from others. We refer you to the detailed discussion
of these and other risk factors contained in our registration statement on Form
S-1, as declared effective on October 26, 2000.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal
while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our activities
without increasing risk. Some of the securities that we invest in may have
market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the
fair value of the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example,
if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the
prevailing rate and the prevailing rate later rises, the fair value of the
principal amount of our investment will probably decline. To minimize this risk
in the future, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and
short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper,
government and non-government debt securities and money market funds. The
average duration of all our investments has generally been less than one year.
Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe we have no
material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments. Therefore,
no quantitative tabular disclosure is required.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-39548) relating to our
initial public offering was declared effective by the SEC on October 26, 2000. A
total of 7,360,000 shares of our common stock were registered on our behalf and
sold at an aggregate offering price of $51.5 million. Our managing underwriters
in connection with our initial public offering were UBS Warburg LLC, Chase
Securities Inc. and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. Up to the date of the filing
of this Form 10-Q, we have incurred approximately $6.0 million of expenses in
connection with the issuance and distribution of our common stock. None of these
expenses were paid to any of our officers, directors, general partners or their
associates, our affiliates or holders of 10% or more of our securities.
The net offering proceeds after deducting our expenses were $45.5 million. We
have used the net proceeds as follows: (i) approximately $11.5 million for the
mandatory redemption of our outstanding preferred stock; (ii) approximately $9.7
million for the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness under an existing
credit facility; and (iii) approximately $2.2 million for the redemption of a
warrant to purchase our common stock. Of such uses of proceeds, approximately
$11.5 million was paid to certain affiliates, directors or officers in
connection with the mandatory redemption of our outstanding preferred stock. The
remaining portion of our net offering proceeds has been invested in short-term,
interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.
