NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2007

(Unaudited)

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Medivation, Inc., together with its operating subsidiaries, is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the acquisition, research and development of promising medical technologies. The Company focuses particularly on technologies that have strong intellectual property positions, address large unmet medical needs, and have the potential to enter clinical development within 12 to 18 months after acquisition, and on driving development in a rapid, cost-effective manner. Medivation intends to build and maintain a portfolio of four to six development programs at all times, and remains actively engaged in evaluation of new technologies to further expand its portfolio.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements of financial condition, operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management of Medivation, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herewith contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary for their fair presentation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, which contains the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The interim results for the period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 2007 fiscal year or any other future interim periods.

 

3. THE MERGER

On December 17, 2004, the Company acquired its operating subsidiary Medivation Neurology, Inc. (MNI) by merger (the Merger). Because the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger under generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods prior to December 17, 2004 reflect only the operations of MNI.

 

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Development Stage Company

For the period from inception (September 4, 2003) to date, the Company’s operations have been directed primarily toward developing its proprietary technologies. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage.

We have not generated any revenue from operations to date, and do not expect to generate revenue for several years, if ever. We have incurred aggregate net losses of $41,263,045 through June 30, 2007, and we expect to incur substantial and increasing additional losses in the future as we expand our research and development activities. In particular, we expect total operating expenses for the remainder of 2007 to continue to increase beyond second quarter 2007 levels. All of our operations to date have been funded through the sale of our debt and equity securities, and we expect this to continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2007, we had cash, cash equivalents and other current assets of $38,016,777, accounts payable and other current liabilities of $2,804,614, and no long-term debt. We expect that our current cash, cash equivalents and other current assets will be sufficient to fund the presently budgeted costs of executing our development plan through June 30, 2008. However, we caution you that this is a forward-looking statement and is subject to significant risk and uncertainty, and that we may require additional financing sooner than expected for any of a number of reasons, including without limitation if we were to incur significant delays or cost overruns in the execution of our development plan or if we were to expand our portfolio to include new product development programs. Our ability to raise additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, is subject to significant risks, many of which are beyond our control.

(b) Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions principally relate to services performed by third parties but not yet invoiced, estimates of the fair value and forfeiture rates of stock options issued to employees and consultants, and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

5


(c) Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents.

(d) Short-Term Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of more than three months but no longer than twelve months at the time of acquisition to be short-term investments.

(e) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment purchases are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the period incurred. Items of property and equipment with costs greater than $5,000 are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Description

   Estimated Useful Life

Office equipment and furniture

   3 years

Laboratory equipment

   5 years

Leasehold improvements and fixtures

   Lesser of estimated useful life or life of lease

(f) Intellectual Property

The costs of acquiring intellectual property rights to be used in the research and development process, including licensing fees and milestone payments, are charged to research and development expense as incurred in situations where the Company has not identified an alternative future use for the acquired rights, and are capitalized in situations where it has identified an alternative future use. Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the applicable intellectual property right. Legal and other costs of prosecuting and maintaining intellectual property rights are expensed as incurred.

(g) Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, primarily its intellectual property, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets or intangibles may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

(h) Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.

(i) Stock-Based Compensation; Adoption of SFAS No. 123R

Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the Company to record as an expense in its financial statements the fair value of all stock-based compensation awards.

(j) Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

The following outstanding potential common shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, because they are antidilutive:

 

     Six Months ended June 30,
     2007    2006

Warrants

   321,979    500,104

Options

   2,557,746    1,549,250
         

Total

   2,879,725    2,049,354

(k) Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provision of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 as a result of implementing FIN48. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.

The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress nor has it had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception. As a result of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, all of its tax years are subject to federal and state tax examination.

(l) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). This standard establishes the framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosure requirement for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which specifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that the Company firstly determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, and secondly measure the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements for a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As discussed in Note 4(k), the Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.

 

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

At June 30, 2007, intellectual property consisted of patents and patent applications acquired from third parties. This intellectual property is being amortized over periods ranging from 156 months to 248 months. Amortization expense on the Company’s intellectual property was $1,103 and $1,103 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, $2,206 and $3,172 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $22,130 for the period from inception (September 4, 2003) to June 30, 2007. In the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company wrote off $68,238 of its historical patent acquisition costs to reflect management’s decision to stop work on a patent application that is unrelated to the Company’s ongoing development programs.

 

6. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting, and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Company has outstanding 110 shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, which it issued for an aggregate purchase price of $11,000. The Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock is non-voting, does not bear dividends, and is not convertible into Common Stock or any other securities of the Company. The Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time, at the option of the holders thereof, for a redemption price equal to its original purchase price. No other preferred stock of the Company is outstanding.

 

7. STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

(a) Common Stock

At June 30, 2007, 27,795,743 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

In May and December 2006, the Company issued 5,215,384 shares of its Common Stock in registered direct offerings, raising gross proceeds of $50,249,990. Placement agent, legal, accounting, printing and other costs related to these offerings, in the aggregate amount of $3,498,533 and $5,207, were charged to additional paid-in capital in the year ended December 31, 2006 and in the six month period ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

In December 2005, the Company issued 5,635,000 shares of its Common Stock in an underwritten public offering, raising net proceeds of $10,452,925. Legal, accounting, printing, travel and other costs related to this offering, in the aggregate amount of $689,227, were charged to additional paid-in capital in the year ended December 31, 2005.

In December 2004, the Company issued 7,741,935 shares of its Common Stock in a private placement, 6,903,399 of which were sold for cash, generating $10,700,270 in gross proceeds. The remaining 838,536 shares were issued in exchange for cancellation of outstanding bridge notes of MNI, in the aggregate amount of $1,299,731. Medivation also issued an aggregate of 625,699 shares of its Common Stock to two investment banking firms as partial compensation for placement agent services provided in connection with this offering. The cost of these shares, in the aggregate amount of $969,834, was charged to additional paid-in capital in the year ended December 31, 2004.

(b) Stock Purchase Rights

Common shares outstanding are subject to stock purchase rights. The rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires twenty percent or more of the Company’s Common Stock or announces a tender or exchange offer which would result in ownership of twenty percent or more of the Company’s Common Stock. Following the acquisition of twenty percent or more of the Company’s Common Stock, the holders of the rights, other than the acquiring person or group, may purchase Medivation Common Stock at half of its fair market value. In the event of a merger or other acquisition of the Company, the holders of the rights, other than the acquiring person or group, may purchase shares of the acquiring entity at half of their fair market value. The rights were not exercisable at June 30, 2007.

(c) Medivation Equity Incentive Plan

The Medivation Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the Medivation Equity Incentive Plan), which is stockholder-approved, provides for the issuance of options and other stock-based awards, including restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, covering up to 7,500,000 shares of Medivation’s Common Stock. Shares issued upon exercise of stock-based awards are new shares that have been reserved for issuance under the plan. The amendment and restatement of the Medivation Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the board of directors and by the stockholders in March and May 2007, respectively.

The Medivation Equity Incentive Plan is administered by our board of directors, or a committee appointed by the Board, which determines recipients and types of awards to be granted, including the number of shares subject to the awards, the exercise price and the vesting schedule. The term of stock options granted under the Medivation Equity Incentive Plan cannot exceed ten years. Options generally have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the grant date, and generally vest over a period of four years. The options may contain an early exercise feature, pursuant to which the optionee may exercise the option before it has vested. However, so long as an option remains unvested, all shares purchased upon early exercise remain subject to repurchase by Medivation at the option exercise price if the optionee’s service with Medivation terminates. For purposes of the following disclosures, early exercise options are not considered to have been exercised, or to be exercisable, until this repurchase right has lapsed. In addition, all outstanding awards under the Medivation Equity Incentive Plan will accelerate and become immediately exercisable upon a “change of control” of Medivation, as defined in the Medivation Equity Incentive Plan.

At June 30, 2007, the total outstanding, and the total exercisable, options under the Medivation Equity Incentive Plan were as follows:

 

     Number
Outstanding at
June 30, 2007
   Weighted-

Total exercisable options

   825,085    $ 2.32    7.6 Years    $ 15,168,892

(d) Warrants

At June 30, 2007, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 321,979 shares of Medivation Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.93 per share were outstanding. These outstanding warrants expire between 2009 and 2017.

In December 2004, the Company issued warrants to an investment banking firm in return for placement agent services provided in connection with a stock offering. The grant date fair value of these warrants was $633,149 (based on the Black- Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: stock price of $1.55; historical volatility of 90%; risk free rate of 3.59%; dividend yield of 0%; and warrant life of 5.0 years).

 

8


In November 2004, the Company issued warrants to two officers of Medivation in return for their agreement to guarantee certain corporate obligations. The grant date fair value of these warrants was $17,505 (based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: stock price of $1.55; historical volatility of 90%; risk free rate of 4.5%; dividend yield of 0%; and warrant life of 10.0 years).

(e) Stock-Based Compensation

Medivation estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Estimated volatility is based on the historical stock price volatility of Medivation and comparable companies. Estimated dividend yield is 0%. Estimated term is six years for awards granted to employees and directors, and four years for awards granted to consultants. The risk-free rate is estimated to equal U.S. Treasury security rates for the applicable terms.

Options and warrants granted to employees and directors are valued at their respective grant dates and expensed over the remaining vesting period of the award. Options and warrants granted to consultants are valued at their respective measurement dates, and recognized as expense based on the portion of the total consulting services provided during the applicable period. As further consulting services are provided in future periods, Medivation will revalue the associated awards and recognize additional expense based on their then-current fair values.

Total stock-based compensation recognized by the Company in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the period from inception (September 4, 2003) to June 30, 2007, all of which relates to stock options and warrants, is as follows:

Stock-based compensation attributable to consultant awards was $938,381 and $184,488 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, $1,757,714 and $471,636 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $4,375,352 in the period from inception (September 4, 2003) to June 30, 2007.

Unearned stock-based compensation attributable to employee and director awards totaled $7,749,621 at June 30, 2007.

(f) Presentation of Unearned Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to the first quarter of 2007, the Company presented unearned stock-based compensation attributable to employee and director awards both within the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet (as deferred compensation, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital) and in the financial statement footnotes. In the first quarter of 2007 the Company concluded that a more appropriate interpretation of SFAS No. 123R is that unearned stock-based compensation attributable to employee and director awards be presented only in the financial statement footnotes and not within the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. Accordingly, the Company has revised its deferred compensation and additional paid-in capital accounts at December 31, 2006 and 2005 as follows:

 

     December 31,  
     2006     2005  

Deferred compensation

    

as previously reported

   $ (4,813,229 )   $ (1,757,366 )

   $ 74,052,004     $ 24,687,233  

The revision does not affect the Company’s previously reported statement of operations, statement of cash flows, assets, liabilities, total stockholders’ equity or unearned stock-based compensation for any period.

 

8. THIRD PARTY EQUITY INTERESTS IN OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES

(a) Medivation Neurology, Inc.

At June 30, 2007, Medivation owned all of the issued and outstanding stock of its operating subsidiary Medivation Neurology, Inc. (MNI), and there were no outstanding options, warrants or any other third party rights to acquire any MNI stock.

(b) Medivation Prostate Therapeutics, Inc.

At June 30, 2007, Medivation owned all 11,610,798 shares of the issued and outstanding stock of its operating subsidiary MPT, and is entitled to receive one additional share for each dollar that Medivation invests, directly or indirectly,

 

9


in MPT. MPT has reserved an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance upon the exercise of awards granted under the Medivation Prostate Therapeutics, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the MPT Equity Incentive Plan). At June 30, 2007, one option was outstanding under the MPT Equity Incentive Plan. This option, which was issued to the licensor of MPT’s MDV300 series technology, is exercisable without cash payment for 150,000 shares of MPT Common Stock, but vests and becomes exercisable only upon the occurrence of specified MPT liquidity events including a sale of MPT, a public offering of MPT’s Common Stock, a corporate partnership involving MPT, or receipt of regulatory approval to market any MPT product. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” no expense will be recognized with respect to this option unless and until such a liquidity event occurs.

 

9. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO RELATED AND OTHER PARTIES

In the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded aggregate liquidated damages of $1,610,430 to investors in its 2004 private placement as a result of the inability to register by an agreed-upon date certain shares sold in that offering. Of this amount, $1,102,530 pertains to related party investors, and $507,900 pertains to other investors. The formulas used to calculate the amounts payable to related party investors and to other investors were identical. Medivation paid $1,337,931 of this amount in the year ended December 31, 2005, and the remaining $272,499 in the three months ended March 31, 2006.

 

10. CONVERTIBLE NOTE TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTY

In October 2003 and April 2004, our subsidiary MNI received bridge loans from a related party in the aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000. Principal plus accrued interest on these loans in the amount of $688,955 was converted into Medivation Common Stock in the 2004 private placement. The remaining outstanding principal plus accrued interest of $622,720 was repaid in December 2004.

 

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has commitments under operating leases for its current and former offices in San Francisco, California, which leases run through August 2012 and April 2011, respectively. In April 2007, the Company provided a $500,000 letter of credit to the landlord of its current office as security. The Company’s contingent obligations under the letter of credit are collateralized by a $500,000 restricted account at the issuing financial institution. The Company is currently seeking to sublease its former office. Aggregate future minimum lease payments under the two operating leases are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, found in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend that these forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by those provisions. Forward-looking statements are generally written in the future tense and/or are preceded by words such as “may,” “should,” “forecast,” “could,” “expect,” “suggest,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” or other similar words. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results include, but are not limited to, the Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Readers are expressly advised to review and consider those Risk Factors, which include risks associated with (1) our ability to successfully conduct clinical and preclinical trials for our product candidates, (2) our ability to obtain required regulatory approvals to develop and market our product candidates, (3) our ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms, (4) our ability to execute our development plan on time and on budget, and (5) our ability to identify and obtain additional

 

10


product candidates. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements will be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved. Furthermore, past performance in operations and share price is not necessarily indicative of future performance. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The Company

We are a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the acquisition, research and development of promising medical technologies. We focus particularly on technologies that have strong intellectual property positions, address large unmet medical needs, and have the potential to enter clinical development within 12 to 18 months after acquisition, and on driving development in a rapid, cost-effective manner. We intend to build and maintain a portfolio of four to six development programs at all times, and remain actively engaged in evaluation of new technologies to further expand our portfolio.

Our Current Portfolio

Our current portfolio consists of pharmaceuticals in clinical development to treat three large, unmet medical needs –Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease and hormone-refractory prostate cancer. Our proprietary compound Dimebon has been shown to inhibit the death of brain cells (neurons) in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s disease, making it a novel potential treatment for many neurodegenerative diseases. Dimebon has successfully completed a Phase 2 clinical trial in Alzheimer’s disease and is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial in Huntington’s disease. Our proprietary compound MDV3100 is the lead clinical development candidate from a library of approximately 170 small molecules licensed by Medivation. These molecules were rationally designed to treat hormone-refractory prostate cancer by inhibiting the androgen receptor (AR) in a different manner from currently approved AR antagonist drugs, which are ineffective in treating prostate cancers that have become hormone-refractory. MDV3100 is currently in a Phase 1-2 clinical trial in hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Alzheimer’s Disease Program. In September 2006 we announced that Dimebon met all five efficacy endpoints in a six-month randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial of 183 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease conducted at 11 sites in Russia. The endpoints spanned all of the most frequently studied aspects of Alzheimer’s disease: cognition, overall clinical function, activities of daily living, and behavioral problems. After six months of treatment, Dimebon-treated patients scored significantly better on all of these tests than did placebo-treated patients. Dimebon-treated patients also improved significantly over their own starting baseline scores on all of these tests after six months of treatment. Medivation and its advisors designed this study to match closely the design of pivotal registration studies previously accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve drugs to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, including the six-month duration of treatment, clinical endpoints and patient inclusion/exclusion criteria.

After six months of dosing, patients were given the option of participating in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled six-month extension of this study, for a total of one year of therapy. All patients participating in the extension study remained in the same treatment group (Dimebon or placebo) to which they originally were randomized. In June 2007 we announced that Dimebon patients continued to perform significantly better than placebo patients on all five efficacy endpoints after one year of treatment. Importantly, the benefits of Dimebon over placebo on all five endpoints were either stable or greater at one year compared to the benefits seen at six months. After a full year of treatment, Dimebon patients were stabilized on all five endpoints, meaning that their level of function as assessed by those endpoints was preserved. By contrast, the placebo patients declined on all five endpoints, consistent with the natural history of Alzheimer’s disease as a progressive, neurodegenerative condition. Dimebon was well tolerated throughout the entire one-year treatment period, with significantly fewer serious adverse events in the Dimebon group than in the placebo group at the one year timepoint.

Based on the encouraging results of this study, we are aggressively pursuing further development of Dimebon for Alzheimer’s disease, and plan to begin our global Phase 3 clinical trials in 2008.

Huntington’s Disease Program. In July 2007 we began a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled U.S. Phase 2 clinical study of Dimebon in Huntington’s disease patients, which we are conducting in collaboration with the Huntington Study Group. In this study approximately 90 patients will be treated for a period of three months to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of Dimebon as a treatment for Huntington’s disease. We expect to report top-line results of this Phase 2 study in the first half of 2008. If the results of this study are supportive, we plan to begin global Phase 3 clinical trials in Huntington’s disease in 2008.

 

11


Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer Program. In July 2007 we began an open-label Phase 1-2 clinical trial of MDV3100, the lead development candidate from our MDV300 series compounds, in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer. The trial is being conducted at several clinical sites in the United States, including Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. The study is an open-label dose-escalation trial with each patient continuing on MDV3100 for at least three months in the absence of a significant safety issue or disease progression. Patients will be given the option in certain circumstances to continue treatment for longer periods of time. Study endpoints include safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, the effect of MDV3100 on serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (a frequently-used surrogate marker of prostate cancer progression), and disease progression following treatment with MDV3100. We expect to report PSA data from the first subset of patients by the end of 2007. If MDV3100 is tolerated and inhibits serum PSA levels in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer, we will seek approval to proceed directly to pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials for this indication and to expand clinical development to include the much larger population of patients with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Our current development plan for our Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease and hormone-refractory prostate cancer programs, and the presently estimated timeline for each development milestone, are as follows:

 

Program

  

Development Milestone

   Estimated
Start
   Estimated
Finish
Alzheimer’s disease:    Phase 2 twelve-month efficacy trial (Russia)       Completed
   Phase 1 clinical trials (U.S.)    In progress    2H 2007
   Phase 2 dose finding clinical trial (U.S.)    2H 2007    2008
   Phase 3 clinical trials (global)    2008    2010
   Apply for U.S. and European marketing approval    2010   
Huntington’s disease:    Phase 1 clinical trial (U.S.)       Completed
   Phase 2 clinical trial (U.S.)    In progress    1H 2008
   Phase 3 clinical trials (global)    2008    2009
   Apply for U.S. and European marketing approval    2009   
Hormone-refractory prostate cancer:    Phase 1-2 clinical trial (U.S.)    In progress    2008
   Report efficacy data from a subset of patients    2H 2007   
   Determine whether to proceed to Phase 3 clinical trials    2008   

Based on presently available information, our management believes that achievement of the above development milestones relating to our existing product candidates by the estimated dates set forth above is a reasonably achievable goal. However, both our proposed development milestones and their estimated start and finish dates are forward-looking statements, and as such are subject to significant risk and uncertainty. We caution you that the development of biomedical product candidates like ours is subject to high levels of risk, including risks presented by subsequent developments that are unforeseen or unforeseeable, as well as risks that are entirely outside of our control, including the risk of unfavorable results in any of our ongoing or planned preclinical and clinical studies. We also caution you that we have not yet received clearance from the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory agencies to begin any of the clinical trials listed above, except for those listed as “completed” or “in progress.” We thus face the risk that the FDA and/or comparable foreign regulatory agencies will deny, or impose burdensome conditions on, our requests to begin any of our proposed clinical studies, or require us to conduct additional studies not listed above. We thus cannot guarantee that we will be able to complete any of our projected milestone events, or that any of them that we do achieve will be on time or on budget.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred aggregate net losses of $41,263,045 through June 30, 2007, and we expect to incur substantial and increasing additional losses in the future as we expand our research and development activities. Total operating expenses increased to $7,663,637 in the second quarter of 2007 from $6,202,028, in the first quarter, an increase of $1,461,609 (or 24%). Total operating expenses include stock-based compensation, a non-cash expense, of $1,415,008 and $1,220,198 in the second and first quarters of 2007, respectively. We expect total operating expenses for the remainder of 2007 to continue to increase beyond second quarter 2007 levels due to expanded research and development of Dimebon and MDV3100 (including the Phase 2 clinical trial of Dimebon in Huntington’s disease and the Phase 1-2 clinical trial of MDV3100 in hormone-refractory prostate cancer that we began in July 2007), increases in our headcount to staff these activities, and relocation to our larger office facility in July 2007. Headcount at June 30, 2007 was 17 employees, and we expect that figure to roughly double by year end.

We have not generated any revenue from operations to date, and do not expect to generate revenue for several years, if ever. All of our operations to date have been funded through the sale of our debt and equity securities, and we expect this to continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2007, we had cash, cash equivalents and other current assets of $38,016,777, accounts payable and other current liabilities of $2,804,614, and no long-term debt. We expect that our current cash, cash equivalents and other current assets will be sufficient to fund the presently budgeted costs of executing our development plan through June 30, 2008. However, we caution you that this is a forward-looking statement and is subject to significant risk and uncertainty, and that we may require additional financing sooner than expected for any of a number of reasons, including without limitation if we were to incur significant delays or cost overruns in the execution of our development plan or if we were to expand our portfolio to include new product development programs. Our ability to raise additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, is subject to significant risks, many of which are beyond our control. For a discussion of these risks, we refer you to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment for the foreseeable future.

Item 3A(T). Controls and Procedures.

Medivation maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Commission Rule 13a-15(b), Medivation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Under current law, management’s internal controls certification requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley act will become applicable to Medivation for the first time this fiscal year. Management is in the process of preparing for Section 404 compliance, and has engaged an outside consulting firm to assist in that regard.
