See accompanying notes. 4 7 ARADIGM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Basis of Presentation Aradigm Corporation (the "Company") is a California corporation. Since inception, Aradigm has been engaged in the development and commercialization of non-invasive pulmonary drug delivery systems. Through June 1997, the Company was in the development stage. The Company does not anticipate receiving significant revenue from the sale of products in the upcoming year. Principal activities to date have included obtaining financing, recruiting management and technical personnel, securing operating facilities, conducting research and development, and expanding commercial production capabilities. These factors indicate that the Company's ability to continue its research, development and commercialization activities is dependent upon the ability of management to obtain additional financing as required. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. The results of the Company's operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full fiscal year or any future interim period. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents and Investments The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in money market funds, commercial paper and corporate notes. The Company's short-term investments consist of commercial paper and corporate notes with maturities ranging from three to twelve months. The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in the statement of shareholders' equity. Fair values of investments are based on quoted market prices, where available. Realized gains and losses, which have been immaterial to date, are included in interest and other income and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of investments sold. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Depreciation and Amortization The Company records property and equipment at cost and calculates depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to seven years. Machinery and equipment acquired under capital leases is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or useful lives of the improvements. Revenue Recognition Contract revenues consist of revenue from collaboration agreements and feasibility studies. The Company recognizes revenue under the agreements as reimbursable costs are incurred. Deferred revenue represents the portion of research payments received that has not been earned. In accordance with contract terms, milestone payments from collaborative research agreements are considered reimbursements for costs incurred under the agreements and, accordingly, are generally recognized as revenue either upon successful completion of the 5 8 ARADIGM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 milestone effort when payments are contingent upon completion of the effort or are based on actual efforts expended over the remaining terms of the agreements when payments precede the required efforts. Costs of contract revenues approximate such revenue and are included in research and development expenses. Refundable development and license fee payments are deferred until the specified performance criteria are achieved. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less the weighted average number of shares subject to repurchase during the period. No diluted loss per share information has been presented in the accompanying statements of operations since potential common shares from stock options and warrants are antidilutive. 2. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY In April 2000, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of common stock, which raised approximately $42.6 million in net proceeds with the issuance of 2,875,000 shares of common stock. In March 1999, the Company completed a private offering, which raised approximately $24.8 million in net proceeds with the issuance of 2,428,338 shares of common stock. 3. CONTINGENCIES In June 1998, Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The complaint made various allegations against the Company, arising from the Company's decision to enter into an exclusive collaboration with Novo Nordisk A/S with respect to the development and commercialization of a pulmonary delivery system for insulin and insulin analogs. The Company has sponsored various studies of the pulmonary delivery of insulin analogs using materials supplied by Lilly under a series of agreements dating from January 1996. The Company and Lilly had also conducted negotiations concerning a long-term supply agreement under which Lilly would supply bulk insulin to the Company for commercialization in the Company's AERx Diabetes Management System, and a separate agreement under which the Company would license certain intellectual property to Lilly. These negotiations were terminated after the Company proceeded with its agreement with Novo Nordisk A/S. The complaint seeks a declaration that Lilly scientists were co-inventors of a patent application filed by the Company relating to pulmonary delivery of an insulin analog or, in the alternative, enforcement of an alleged agreement to grant Lilly a nonexclusive license under such patent application. The complaint also contains allegations of misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment and seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief. The Company filed an answer denying all material allegations of the complaint and a motion for summary judgment directed against all claims in Eli Lilly's complaint. The Court has issued two written rulings on the Company's motion substantially limiting the claims against the Company. Specifically, the Court granted the Company's motion as to Lilly's claim to enforce an alleged license agreement, for misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, estoppel and breach of contract (in part) and dismissed those claims from the case. The Court denied the Company's motion to Lilly's claims for declaratory relief, unjust enrichment and breach of contract (in part), based on factual disputes between the parties, and those issues remain to be resolved. No trial date has been set. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses against each of Eli Lilly's claims and that this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this case. 6 9 ARADIGM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes some of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. In September 2000, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B, which defers the effective date of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth quarter 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of SAB 101 on its operations and financial position. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and for Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. In June 1999, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, which deferred the effective date of SFAS 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS 133 is not anticipated to have an impact on the Company's operations and financial position when adopted as the Company holds no derivative financial instruments and does not currently engage in hedging activities. In March 2000, the FASB issued No. 44 ("FIN 44") "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation -- An Interpretation of APB 25." This Interpretation clarifies (a) the definition of employee for purposes of applying APB 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. This Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in this Interpretation cover specific events that occur after December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000. To the extent that this Interpretation covers events occurring during the period after December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying this Interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. The adoption of FIN 44 does not have a material impact on the Company's operations and financial position. 7 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to management. Future results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in this section as well as in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2000. The business is subject to significant risks including, but not limited to, the success of research and development efforts, dependence on corporate partners for marketing and distribution resources, obtaining and enforcing patents important to the business, clearing the lengthy and expensive regulatory process and possible competition from other products. Even if the products appear promising at various stages of development they may not reach the market or may not be commercially successful for a number of reasons. Such reasons include, but are not limited to, the possibilities that the potential products may be found to be ineffective during clinical trials, fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals, are difficult to manufacture on a large scale, are uneconomical to market, are precluded from commercialization by proprietary rights of third parties or may not gain acceptance from health care professionals and patients. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. OVERVIEW Since our inception in 1991, we have been engaged in the development of pulmonary drug delivery systems. As of September 30, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $99.8 million. We have not been profitable since inception and expect to incur additional operating losses over the next several years as research and development efforts, preclinical and clinical testing activities and manufacturing scale-up efforts expand and as we plan and build our late-stage clinical and early commercial production capabilities. To date, we have not had any material product sales and do not anticipate receiving significant revenue from product sales during 2000. The sources of working capital have been equity financings, equipment lease financings, contract revenues and interest earned on investments. We have performed initial feasibility work on a number of compounds and have been compensated for expenses incurred while performing this work in several cases pursuant to feasibility study agreements with third parties. Once feasibility is demonstrated with respect to a potential product, we seek to enter into development contracts with pharmaceutical corporate partners. We currently have such agreements pursuant to which we are developing pulmonary delivery systems with Genentech, Inc., to manage cystic fibrosis with dornase alfa, the active ingredient in Pulmozyme, with Novo Nordisk A/S, to manage diabetes using insulin and other blood glucose regulating compounds and with SmithKline Beecham PLC, to manage acute and breakthrough pain using opioid analgesics. Our collaborative agreements with Novo Nordisk and SmithKline Beecham provide for reimbursement of research and development expenses as well as additional payments to us as we achieve certain significant milestones. We also expect to receive royalties from these development partners based on revenues from partner sales of product and to receive revenue from the manufacturing of unit dose packets and hand-held devices. We recognize revenues under the terms of these collaborative agreements as research and development expenses are incurred, but only to the extent that they are reimbursable. Our collaborative development agreement with Genentech, entered into May 21, 1999, provides that certain expense reimbursements received from Genentech under this agreement are subject to repayment if the product does not receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Genentech reimburses development expenses incurred in the form of loans supported by promissory notes bearing interest at 2% over the prime rate. Upon receipt of FDA approval, we will receive a milestone payment that is larger than the loan principal and accrued interest, allowing the loan to be fully repaid at that time. We will also receive certain milestone payments at various points of product development. 8 11 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 Contract Revenues: Contract revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased to $4.7 million from $5.0 million for the same period in 1999. The revenue decrease results primarily from a reduction in partner-funded project development revenue from SmithKline Beecham offset by an increase in partner-funded project development revenue from Novo Nordisk and the receipt of a milestone payment from Genentech. Costs associated with contract revenues are included in research and development expenses. Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $12.0 million from $9.2 million for the same period in 1999. The increase results primarily from the hiring of additional scientific personnel and the expansion of research and development efforts to support the ongoing programs with Novo Nordisk, SmithKline Beecham and Genentech. These expenses represent proprietary research expenses as well as costs related to contract revenues and include salaries and benefits of scientific and development personnel, laboratory supplies, consulting services and expenses associated with the development of manufacturing processes. We expect research and development spending to increase over the next few years as we continue to expand our development activities to support current and potential future collaborations and initiate commercial manufacturing of the AERx systems. The increase in research and development expenditures cannot be predicted accurately as it depends in part upon future success in pursuing existing development collaborations, as well as obtaining new collaborative agreements. General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $2.4 million from $2.2 million for the same period in 1999. The increase results primarily from additional personnel and leased facilities to support our expansion of research, development and manufacturing activities, and increased efforts to develop collaborative relationships with corporate partners. Interest Income: Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $936,000 from $500,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is due to the Company maintaining larger cash and investment balances. The higher cash and investment balances in the current period are due to the Company receiving net proceeds from a follow-on public offering of common stock for approximately $42.6 million in April 2000. The cash and investment balances for the same prior year period are due to the Company receiving net proceeds from a private offering of common stock for approximately $24.8 million in March 1999. Interest Expense and Other: Interest expense and other for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $413,000 from $183,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is primarily due to higher interest expense on increasing loan balances that result from reimbursement of development expenses from Genentech and interest expense on capital lease and equipment loan balances. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 Contract Revenues: Contract revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $15.2 million from $12.2 million for the same period in 1999. The revenue increase resulted primarily from the expansion of partner-funded project development revenue from Novo Nordisk and the receipt of a milestone payment from Genentech offset by a reduction in partner-funded project development revenue from SmithKline Beecham. Costs associated with contract revenues are included in research and development expenses. Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $34.4 million from $24.4 million for the same period in 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to the hiring of additional scientific personnel and the expansion of research and 9 12 development efforts to support the ongoing programs with Novo Nordisk, SmithKline Beecham and Genentech. General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $6.9 million from $6.1 million for the same period in 1999. The increase results primarily from additional personnel and leased facilities to support our expansion of research, development and manufacturing activities, and increased efforts to develop collaborative relationships with corporate partners. Interest Income: Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $2.3 million from $1.5 million for the same period in 1999. The increase is due to the Company maintaining larger cash and investment balances. The higher cash and investment balances in the current period are due to the Company receiving net proceeds from a follow-on public offering of common stock for approximately $42.6 million in April 2000. The cash and investment balances in the same prior year period are due to the Company receiving net proceeds from a private offering of common stock for approximately $24.8 million in March 1999. Interest Expense and Other: Interest expense and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $1.1 million from $700,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is primarily due to higher interest expense on increasing loan balances that result from reimbursement of development expenses from Genentech and interest expense on capital lease and equipment loan balances. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The business has financed its operations since inception primarily through private placements and public offerings of capital stock, proceeds from equipment lease financing, contract revenues and interest earned on investments. As of September 30, 2000, we have received approximately $145.3 million in net proceeds from sales of capital stock. During the quarter, the company established three new and negotiated an increase in one existing equipment lines of credit, which total approximately $15.7 million. None of these new equipment lines of credit had been utilized by September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2000, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $53.5 million. In April 2000, we completed a follow-on public offering of common stock, which raised approximately $42.6 million in net proceeds with the issuance of 2,875,000 shares of common stock. During November 2000, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund Ltd. for an equity financing agreement covering the sale of up to $50 million of the Company's common stock over the next 20 months. The total number of shares may be sold over time with the Company controlling the amount and timing of stock sales. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $20.9 million from $17.0 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in net cash used resulted from decreases in receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and deferred revenue combined with increases in accrued compensation and other accrued liabilities offset by an increase in the net loss. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $7.7 million from $2.9 million for the same period in 1999. The increase results primarily from increased maturities of available-for-sale investments partially offset by increased purchases of investments and capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $47.9 million from $29.8 million for the same period in 1999. The increase primarily reflects receipt of proceeds from the completion of a follow-on public offering of common stock in April 2000 which raised approximately $42.6 million in net proceeds, exercise of incentive stock options by Company employees and the issuance of notes payable supporting loans received under a collaborative development agreement with Genentech reduced by net payments from the use of equipment lines of credit. 10 13 The development of our technology and proposed products will require a commitment of substantial funds to conduct the costly and time-consuming research, preclinical studies and clinical trial activities necessary to develop and refine the technology and proposed products and bring such products to market. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including continued progress and results from research and development for the technology and drug delivery systems, the ability to establish and maintain favorable collaborative arrangements with others, progress with preclinical studies and clinical trials and the results thereof, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the cost of development and the rate of scale-up for the required production technologies, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and the need to acquire licenses or other rights to new technology. We expect that our cash requirements will increase in future periods and that the business will need to raise additional capital before it becomes profitable. Based on projected cash requirements, we believe that existing capital resources and committed funding from the collaborative partners, together with the proceeds from the April 2000 offering, projected interest income and the new equity financing agreement covering the sale of additional common stock should enable the business to maintain current and planned operations, including anticipated capital spending requirements of approximately $50 million, through the end of 2001. However, there can be no assurance the business will not need to raise substantial additional capital to fund the operations and capital spending during this period. We may seek additional funding through collaborations or through public or private equity or debt financing. There cannot be any assurance that additional financing can be obtained on acceptable terms, or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to shareholders may result. If adequate funds are not available, the business may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of the research and development programs, or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or other sources that may require the business to relinquish rights to certain technologies or products that would otherwise not be relinquished. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market Risk Disclosures In the normal course of business, our financial position is routinely subject to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movement. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against these and other exposures. As a result, we do not anticipate material potential losses in these areas. As of September 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $53.5 million consisting of cash and highly liquid short-term investments. Our short-term investments will decline by an immaterial amount if market interest rates increase, and therefore, our exposure to interest rate changes has been immaterial. Declines of interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income from our short-term investments. Our outstanding capital lease obligations are all at fixed interest rates and, therefore, have minimal exposure to changes in interest rates. 11 14 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2.
