NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We have used generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information to prepare unaudited consolidated financial statements:
o As of June 30, 1999;
o For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999; and
o For the period from inception (January 17, 1989) to June 30, 1999.
Our consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the unaudited information
includes all the normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows
for the periods presented. You should not base your estimate of our results of
operations for 1999 solely on our results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999. You should read these consolidated financial
statements in combination with:
o The other Notes in this section;
o "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" appearing in the following section; and
o The Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
2. SALE OF COMMON STOCK
On June 29, 1999, we completed a $14.25 million private placement of common
stock. We sold 1.5 million shares of common stock to a selected group of
institutional and individual investors at a price of $9.50 per share, the
closing bid price of the stock on June 17, 1999. After payment of finder's fees
and expenses, our net proceeds from the private placement were approximately
$13.4 million.
3. ACQUISITION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FROM CYTEL
On March 26, 1999, we acquired the carbohydrate manufacturing patents,
licenses, and other intellectual property of Cytel Corporation's Glytec business
unit. We paid $3.5 million in cash to Cytel and an additional $1.5 million in
cash into escrow, the release of which is conditioned on Cytel's satisfaction of
certain matters relating to the acquired patents and licenses. We may be
required to pay Cytel up to an additional $1.6 million in cash, contingent on
potential payments and revenues realized by us from certain future corporate
collaborations. We have capitalized $3.3 million of the amount paid to Cytel as
developed technology, which is classified on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as
Acquired Technology. The remaining $200,000 was paid to Cytel from an escrow
account funded by us in 1998. This amount was expensed to our Consolidated
Statement of Operations in
6
<PAGE>
1998. We have recorded the $1.5 million placed into escrow as Restricted Funds
on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Acquired Technology balance will be
amortized to our Consolidated Statement of Operations over eight years, which we
estimate to be the useful life of the technology. During the six months ended
June 30, 1999, we recorded amortization expense of $103,000 relating to the
acquired technology.
4. AGREEMENT WITH JOHNSON & JOHNSON
In 1997, we entered into a joint development agreement with McNeil
Specialty Products Company, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, for the joint
development of novel technologies for the efficient large-scale manufacture of a
particular class of complex carbohydrates for a number of human healthcare
applications. In January 1999, the joint development agreement was extended and
expanded, and Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation, another subsidiary of
Johnson & Johnson, made a $4 million investment in our common stock. Under the
joint development agreement, we jointly contemplate building and operating a
manufacturing facility capable of producing at least one commercially promising
complex carbohydrate by early 2000. Either party may terminate the agreement
upon sixty days prior notice.
5. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted net loss per share are presented in conformity with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the
potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common
stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, the effects of
the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive;
accordingly, they were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per
share.
6. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Our comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 was
$5,511,000 and $6,778,000, respectively. Comprehensive loss is comprised of net
loss and other comprehensive income or loss. Currently, our only source of other
comprehensive income or loss is unrealized gains and losses on our marketable
securities that are classified as available-for-sale.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The statements in this Form 10-Q and the Exhibits that are not facts are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve predictions. Our
actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from the
results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Potential
risks and uncertainties that could affect our actual results, performance, or
achievements include statements that address, among other things, increase of
losses, success, and profitability of the business, necessity to sell additional
securities, liquidity, and availability of additional funding sources,
development, and commercialization of our products, continuation of
collaboration with important business partners, dependence on licensors,
protection of intellectual property in foreign countries, ability to obtain
regulatory approvals for our products, development of commercial-scale
manufacturing facilities and development of marketing and sales experience.
These statements may be found in the "Risk Factors" in Item 1 of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, and general financial,
economic, regulatory, and political conditions affecting the biotechnology
industry in general. In addition, forward-looking statements that address the
Year 2000 issue can be found in our Year 2000 disclosure. Given these
uncertainties, you should not base your decision to invest in our common stock
on any forward-looking statements. In addition, we do not have any obligation or
intent to update any of these risk factors or forward-looking statements to
reflect future events or developments.
You should read this section in combination with the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 1998, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in
our 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders.
OVERVIEW
Neose, a development-stage company, is developing synthetic processes to
manufacture oligosaccharides, or complex carbohydrates. We are using these
manufacturing processes to discover, develop, and commercialize complex
carbohydrates for pharmaceutical, nutritional, and consumer uses. Due to their
structural complexity, oligosaccharides are difficult and expensive to produce.
Accordingly their commercial development has been significantly limited. We
believe our proprietary technologies enable the rapid and cost-efficient
enzymatic production of naturally occurring oligosaccharides.
We have not generated any material revenues from operations, except for
interest income and revenues from collaborative agreements, including our
agreements with Abbott Laboratories. Under our agreements, Abbott has the
exclusive right to use our technology to manufacture and commercialize, for
nutritional purposes only, any complex carbohydrate naturally found in breast
milk. We have received approximately $11.2 million in contract payments, license
fees, milestone payments, and equity investments from Abbott. Under our
agreements, we will receive further payments from Abbott only if Abbott
commercializes a product manufactured using our technology.
We have incurred increasingly large losses each year. As of June 30, 1999,
we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $53.4 million. We expect
increased losses over at least the next several years as we expand research and
development efforts, conduct additional clinical trials, expand manufacturing
scale-up activities, and begin sales and marketing activities.
8
<PAGE>
We have not yet commercialized any products or technologies. We do not know
if or when we will generate significant revenues from the commercialization of
our products or technologies. Before we can commercialize any of our products or
technologies, we must overcome many hurdles. Even if we commercialize one or
more of our products or technologies, we may not become profitable.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Revenues from collaborative agreements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999, were $0 and $125,000, respectively, compared to $254,000 and
$265,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The decreases
were primarily attributable to decreased non-recurring revenues received under
our agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999, were $2,720,000 and $5,191,000, respectively, compared to $2,137,000
and $4,852,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The
increases were primarily attributable to increased expenses associated with
funding of outside research and the acquisition of intellectual property from
Cytel Corporation. Specifically, we incurred expenses to retain certain former
Cytel employees, and we began amortizing the purchase price of the intellectual
property during the second quarter of 1999.
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999, were $1,192,000 and $2,195,000, respectively, compared to $1,024,000
and $1,739,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The
increases were primarily attributable to increased patent and general legal
expenses associated with the acquisition of intellectual property from Cytel
Corporation.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, was
$222,000 and $606,000, respectively, compared to $522,000 and $1,093,000,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The decreases were due to
lower average cash and marketable securities balances during the 1999 periods.
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, was
$102,000 and $209,000, respectively, compared to $140,000 and $278,000,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The differences were due to
lower average loan balances outstanding during the 1999 periods.
Net Loss
We incurred net losses of $3,792,000 and $6,864,000, or $0.38 and $0.69 per
share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared
to $2,525,000 and $5,511,000, or $0.26 and $0.58 per share, respectively, for
the corresponding periods in 1998.
9
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have incurred increasingly large losses each year since our inception.
As of June 30, 1999, we had a deficit accumulated during the development stage
of approximately $53.4 million. We have financed our operations through private
and public offerings of our securities and revenues from our collaborative
agreements. We had $38.9 million in cash and marketable securities as of June
30, 1999, compared to $32.0 million in cash and marketable securities as of
December 31, 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to our completion of
two private placements of common stock totalling $18.25 million. The increase
was partly offset by the use of funds for the acquisition of intellectual
property from Cytel Corporation and for our continuing operating activities.
On March 26, 1999, we acquired the carbohydrate manufacturing patents,
licenses, and other intellectual property of Cytel Corporation's Glytec business
unit. We paid $3.5 million in cash to Cytel and an additional $1.5 million in
cash into escrow, the release of which is conditioned on Cytel's satisfaction of
certain matters relating to the acquired patents and licenses. We may be
required to pay Cytel up to an additional $1.6 million in cash, contingent on
potential payments and revenues realized by us from certain future corporate
collaborations. We have capitalized $3.3 million of the amount paid to Cytel as
developed technology, which is classified on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as
Acquired Technology. The remaining $200,000 was paid to Cytel from an escrow
account funded by us in 1998. This amount was expensed to our Consolidated
Statement of Operations in 1998. We have recorded the $1.5 million placed into
escrow as Restricted Funds on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Acquired
Technology balance will be amortized to our Consolidated Statement of Operations
over eight years, which we estimate to be the useful life of the technology.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, we recorded amortization expense of
$103,000 relating to the Acquired Technology.
In 1997, we issued, through the Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) Industrial
Development Authority, $9.4 million of taxable and tax-exempt bonds. The bonds
were issued to finance the purchase of our previously leased building and the
construction of a pilot-scale manufacturing facility within our building. The
bonds are supported by a AA-rated letter of credit, and a reimbursement
agreement between our bank and the letter of credit issuer. The interest rate on
the bonds will vary weekly, depending on market rates for AA-rated taxable and
tax-exempt obligations, respectively. As of June 30, 1999, the effective,
blended interest rate was 6.5% per annum, including letter-of-credit and other
fees. To provide credit support for this arrangement, we have given a first
mortgage on the land, building, improvements, and certain machinery and
equipment to our bank. In addition, we have agreed to maintain at least $20
million of cash and short-term investments. If we fail to comply with this
covenant, we are required to deposit with the lender cash collateral up to, but
not more than, the unpaid balance of the loan, which as of June 30, 1999 was
$8.3 million.
If the technology development program with Johnson & Johnson is successful,
the parties will have to reach agreement upon the structure and financing of a
large-scale manufacturing facility.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, we purchased approximately
$445,000 of property, equipment, and building improvements.
10
<PAGE>
We expect that our existing cash and short-term investments will be
adequate to fund our operations through mid-2001; however, changes in our
collaborative relationships or our business, whether or not initiated by us, may
cause us to deplete our cash and short-term investments sooner than the above
estimate. The timing and amount of our future capital requirements and the
adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including:
o If or when any products covered by our existing collaborative
agreements are commercialized;
o The progress of our research and development activities, including our
pharmaceutical discovery and development programs;
o The safety and efficacy of our products in preclinical studies and
clinical trials;
o The costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, and
enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;
o Competing technological and market developments;
o Changes in our existing collaborative relationships;
o Our ability to establish additional collaborative agreements;
o The cost of manufacturing scale-up; and
o Developing effective marketing activities and arrangements.
We may need to sell additional stock, borrow additional money, or enter
into new collaborative agreements both to fund operations until we become
profitable and to make capital investments. The timing and amount of our future
capital requirements will depend on many factors including those discussed
above.
If we raise money by selling additional stock or borrowing additional
money, the terms may not be favorable and may be dilutive to our stockholders. A
debt financing may contain restrictive covenants, and, if we default, may
provide the lender with rights to some or all of our assets.
We may not be able to raise money when we need it. If we are unable to
obtain adequate funds when needed:
o We may delay or eliminate our research and development activities, or
other aspects of our business;
o We may have to license or sell our technologies on unfavorable terms;
or
o We may have to reduce or cease operations.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. In other
words, date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failures or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including an inability to
process transactions and information, operate certain laboratory and
manufacturing equipment, order raw materials, or engage in similar normal
business activities.
We do not believe we have a material exposure to the Year 2000 issue for
our information and non-information technology systems. We have reviewed these
existing systems and they either
11
<PAGE>
correctly define the Year 2000 or are expected to be replaced before Year 2000
issues will arise. Each of our major vendors has informed us that they are
taking appropriate steps to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. Our business,
financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected if our major vendors fail to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. We
have not yet developed any contingency plans to address situations that may
result if our operations are affected by Year 2000 issues that are not
remediated.
Our historical costs directly related to Year 2000 issue evaluation,
remediation, and validation have been immaterial as our systems have been on a
normal replacement schedule with only immaterial opportunity costs of personnel
to ensure new systems and third parties are Year 2000 compliant. We estimate
that the future expenses and capital expenditures necessary to complete our Year
2000 evaluation, remediation, and validation of all systems will not exceed
$200,000.
We are currently assessing the extent to which we would be vulnerable to
our vendors' failure to remediate any Year 2000 issues on a timely basis. We
plan to develop contingency plans if necessary during 1999. We have not deferred
any systems projects as a result of our efforts to evaluate, remediate, and
validate our systems for the Year 2000 issue.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not hold any investments in market risk sensitive instruments.
Accordingly, we believe that we are not subject to any material risks arising
from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity
prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive
instruments.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
