NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 (UNAUDITED) 1. General ------- The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Cortech, Inc. ("Cortech" or the "Company") as of September 30, 2000 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 reflect all material adjustments consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or for any other period. 2. License Income -------------- In June 1999, the Company finalized an Agreement to license to Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of Osaka Japan ("Ono") the worldwide rights to the oral elastase inhibitor program on which the two companies have been collaborating. Prior to this Agreement, Ono's rights to this technology were limited to the territories of Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan. In connection with the expansion of Ono's rights to the technology, Cortech received a $2,000,000 payment less applicable taxes both in the United States and Japan. Ono withheld at the source $200,000 of withholding taxes which they remitted directly to the Japanese taxing authorities. If Ono's studies of the technology are favorable, Cortech could also receive milestone payments of up to $9.5 million. Ono also agreed to pay Cortech a royalty on sales generated outside the original territories on products using Cortech's technology. Milestone payments or royalties are not assured and in any event could be expected only after several more years of continued evaluation of the technology by Ono. 6 3. Legal Proceedings - -------------------- On February 27, 1998, a complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, naming the Company, the Company's then current directors and BioStar, Inc., as defendants. The complaint, filed by a stockholder of the Company, claimed to be on behalf of a class of all the Company's stockholders and the Company and contended that the then current directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholder when they unanimously approved the proposed combination with BioStar. The complaint originally sought to enjoin the proposed combination with BioStar as well as the operation of the Company's stockholder rights plan and sought an order rescinding the proposed combination with BioStar upon its consummation as well as compensatory damages and costs. The complaint was amended following termination of the proposed BioStar merger to seek to force an auction of the Company's assets and other relief. Thereafter, the parties negotiated a settlement of the claims. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement a payment in the amount of $235,000 was made to Cortech on behalf of Defendants by Cortech's directors and officers insurance carrier. On April 6, 2000, the Court held a hearing approved the settlement and ordered Cortech to pay $129,261.88 in attorney's fees and expenses from the insurance proceeds. There were no objectors to the settlement and on May 11, 2000 Cortech received the settlement payment and paid the attorney's fees and expenses. 4. Related Party Transactions -------------------------- An administrative fee of $15,000 per month is paid to Asset Value Fund Limited Partnership ("AVF") for management services performed for the Company. These services include corporate governance, financial management and accounting services. AVF is the beneficial owner of approximately 39% of the Company's Common Stock at October 31, 2000. 5. Stock Options ------------- On June 19, 2000, the Board of Directors restored the 1986 stock option plan and the 1993 equity incentive plan. Both plans had been suspended in 1997. On July 18, 2000 a total of 180,000 stock options were issued to the officers and directors of the Company. On August 9, 2000 10,000 stock options were issued to a newly appointed director. Of the 190,000 stock options issued, 75,000 were incentive stock options and 115,000 were non-qualified stock options. 6. Common Stock ------------ On October 30, 2000 the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 160,000 shares of its Common Stock at prices deemed favorable from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, the Company's financial position and other considerations. 7 7. Net Income Per Share -------------------- Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of stock options. The shares used for basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are reconciled below (in 000's).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - ------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations ------------- The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Cortech, Inc.'s ("Cortech" or the "Company") 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB as well as the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. When used in this discussion, the word "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. General - ------- Until 1998, Cortech operated as a biopharmaceutical company whose research and development efforts focused primarily on bradykinin antagonists and protease inhibitors. Those efforts produced a technology portfolio which may have potential therapeutic application across a broad range of medical conditions. Cortech's strategy is to seek collaborative partners to conduct and fund future research and development on the components of its portfolio, although there can be no assurance that any particular agreement will be completed. At the same time, the Company is seeking to redeploy its assets into an operating business. Results of Operations - --------------------- Cortech had net income of $100,000 or $.05 basic and fully diluted earnings per share and $332,000 or $.18 basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to net income of $263,000 or $.14 basic and fully diluted earnings per share and $2,305,000 or $1.24 basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the same periods in 1999, respectively. Interest income was $200,000 and $575,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $157,000 and $408,000 for the same periods in 1999, an increase of $43,000 and $167,000 in the three and nine month periods, respectively. Higher yields on investments and higher invested balances were the primary reasons for this increase. Gains on disposition of property and equipment were $125,000 and $435,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. Licensing income of $2,000,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 relates to an agreement to license to Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of Osaka, Japan ("Ono") the worldwide rights to an oral elastase inhibitor program. (See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements.) Other income in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 relates to the settlement of a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company in which the Company recovered $96,000 net of court ordered payments. For more information on the settlement, see Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements. 9 Other income of $92,000 and $152,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, relate to the reimbursement by one of the Company's insurance carriers of legal fees previously expensed and the reversal of previously accrued expenses in connection with the closing of the Company's Denver facilities. General and administrative expenses were $98,000 and $326,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and $101,000 and $462,000 in the same periods in 1999, respectively, a decrease of $3,000 and $136,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, general and administrative expenses consisted of administrative fees of $135,000; legal fees of $68,000; insurance fees of $48,000 and all other expenses of $75,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, general and administrative expenses consisted of patent related costs of $75,000; legal fees of $225,000; insurance fees of $70,000 and all other expenses of $92,000. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- At September 30, 2000, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of approximately $13,543,000. Cash equivalents of $6,905,000 consisted of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase with yields ranging between 5.29% and 6.18%. Short term investments of $6,498,000 consisted of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of greater than three months at the date of purchase with yields ranging between 5.85% and 6.167%. Management believes its cash and cash equivalents are sufficient for its remaining business activities and for the costs of seeking an acquisition of an operating business. Net cash of $327,000 was provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to a net use of $586,000 for the same period in 1999. In 2000, cash flows from net income of $332,000 was the primary reason for the cash provided by operations. In 1999, cash flows from net income of $2,305,000 were offset by the gain on dispositions of equipment of $435,000 and license income of $2,000,000 (classified as investing activities), a decrease in accounts payable of $133,000 and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $392,000. Net cash of $70,000 was provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, due to the purchase and maturities of short-term investments. Net cash of $2,435,000 was provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 1999, due to the sale of property and equipment of $435,000 and license income of $2,000,000. 10 ITEM 6.
