NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

  1. Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Repligen Corporation (the “Company”, “Repligen” or “we”), in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

 

Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform to the current reporting period.

 

  2. Revenue Recognition

 

We apply Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” to our revenue arrangements. We generate product revenues from the sale of our Protein A products to customers in the pharmaceutical and process chromatography industries and from the sale of SecreFlo® to hospital-based gastroenterologists. In accordance with SAB No. 104, we recognize revenue related to product sales upon delivery of the product to the customer as long as there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of any related receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company generated $84,000 of non-product revenues from a sponsored research and development project under an agreement with the Stanley Medical Research Institute. Research revenue is recognized under costs plus fixed fee contracts as costs are incurred. Research expenses in the accompanying statements of operations include funded and unfunded expenses.

 

  3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

We apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Presenting Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share for the periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method in accordance with SFAS No. 128. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options.

Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution

   30,098,391    30,057,667    30,607,003    30,051,340

 

For the three month period ended September 30, 2005, options to purchase 2,475,100 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.92 per share, were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, options to purchase 1,194,100 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $4.42 per share, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the stock options were greater than or equal to the average price of the common shares.

 

For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2004, there were outstanding options to purchase 2,248,250 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.99 per share and outstanding warrants to purchase 154,946 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.82 per share were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive.

 

  4. Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” We continue to apply the intrinsic value method proscribed by APB No. 25 for employee stock options awards and elect the disclosure-only alternative for the same under SFAS No. 123. We follow the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (SFAS 148), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, and amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” SFAS 148 requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used to report results.

 

We have computed the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS Nos. 123 and 148 for all stock options granted to employees using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

 

If compensation expense for our stock plan had been determined in a manner consistent with SFAS No. 123, the pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:

 

     Three months ended

  5. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

 

We apply SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” At September 30, 2005, our investments included short-term marketable securities, the majority of which are classified as held-to-maturity investments as we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. As a result, these investments are recorded at amortized cost. Marketable securities are investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days.

 

At September 30, 2005, marketable securities also include investment grade auction rate securities, which provide higher yields than money market and other cash equivalent investments. Auction rate securities have long-term underlying maturities, but have interest rates that are reset every 90 days or less, at which time the securities can typically be purchased or sold, which creates a highly liquid market for these securities. We do not intend to hold these securities to maturity, but rather to use the securities to provide liquidity as necessary. Auction rate securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. Due to the reset feature and their carrying value equaling their fair value, there are no gross realized and unrealized gains or losses from these short-term investments.

Table of Contents
  8. Comprehensive Income/Loss

 

We apply SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS No. 130 requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. Our comprehensive income/ loss is equal to our reported net income/loss for all periods presented.

 

  9. Segment Reporting

 

We apply SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. The chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance, identifies operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation. To date, we view our operations and manage our business as one operating segment. As a result, the financial information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial information related to our principal operating segment.

During the three months ended September 30, 2005 there were two customers who accounted for approximately 53% and 15% of revenues, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, there were two customers who accounted for approximately 45% and 25% of revenues, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2005 there were two customers who accounted for 52% and 24% of revenues, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2004 there were two customers who accounted for approximately 61% and 10% of revenues, respectively. At September 30, 2005, one customer accounted for 50% of our accounts receivable. At March 31, 2005, three customers accounted for 54%, 13% and 11% of accounts receivable.

 

  10. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment—An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95 (“SFAS No. 123R”)”, which requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments, including employee stock options, at fair value, effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2005. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R may have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The Company is evaluating SFAS No. 123R and has not yet determined the impact of stock option expense which will be incurred in future periods.

In April 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, “Shares-Based Payment,” which expresses the SEC Staff’s views regarding the application of SFAS No. 123(R). At present, we have not evaluated the effect of this standard.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (“SFAS No. 151”), “Inventory Costs, an amendment of APB No. 43, Chapter 4.” The amendments made by SFAS No. 151 will improve financial reporting by requiring that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) be recognized as current-period charges and by requiring the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2005. The Company expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will not have a significant impact on its’ financial position and results of operations.

 

  11. Settlement Agreement

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, Repligen entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with ChiRhoClin, Inc., in full settlement of their arbitration proceedings. Under terms of the Agreement, Repligen is not required to pay approximately $1,170,000 of unremitted royalties to ChiRhoClin related to sales from February 2004 through March 2005. This amount, which was accrued at March 31, 2005, was reversed at the time the Agreement was signed and was recorded as other income in the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

 

In addition, Repligen received a payment of $750,000 and will be entitled to continue to market SecreFlo® for the next several years under a royalty structure more favorable to Repligen than under the original Licensing Agreement. ChiRhoClin is obligated to deliver a certain amount of SecreFlo® to Repligen over the next few years. This payment of $750,000 is recorded as “Accrued Liabilities” as of September 30, 2005. The provisions of The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor” (“EITF 02-16”) will result in the reduction of cost of goods sold as future inventory purchased from ChiRhoClin is sold. We anticipate that this will result in an improved gross margin for the remainder of fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapeutics for diseases that affect the central nervous system. A number of drug development programs are currently being conducted to evaluate our naturally occurring drug candidates in diseases such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and neurodegeneration. In addition, we sell Protein A for monoclonal antibody purification and SecreFlo® for assessment of pancreatic disorders. In fiscal 2005, we experienced significant growth in sales and profits from our commercial products business. Our business strategy is to deploy the profits from our current commercial products and any revenue that we may receive from our patents to enable us to invest in the development of our product candidates in the treatment area of neuropsychiatric diseases while at the same time minimize our operating losses.

 

We are subject to a number of risks typically associated with similar companies in the biotechnology industry. Principally those risks are associated with our dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by us or our competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, results of clinical trials, compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other governmental regulations and approval requirements, as well as the ability to grow our business and to obtain adequate capital to fund this growth, as well as other potential risk factors included in the filings made by us from time to time with the SEC, including under the section entitled “Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The SEC requires that reporting companies discuss their most “critical accounting policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The SEC indicated that a “critical

 

10


Table of Contents

accounting policy” is one that is important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

We have identified the policies and estimates below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We apply Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”) to our revenue arrangements. We generate product revenues from the sale of our Protein A products to customers in the pharmaceutical and process chromatography industries, and from the sale of SecreFlo® to hospital-based gastroenterologists. In accordance with SAB No. 104, we recognize revenue related to product sales upon delivery of the product to the customer as long as there is persuasive evidence of a sale, the price is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Additionally, during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2005 we generated non-product revenues from sponsored research and development projects under an agreement from the Stanley Medical Research Institute. Research revenue is recognized under costs plus fixed fees contracts as costs are incurred. Research expenses in the accompanying statements of operations include funded and unfunded expenses.

 

Accrued Liabilities

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require that we estimate accrued liabilities. This process involves identifying services, which have been performed on our behalf, and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for such service as of each balance sheet date in our financial statements. Examples of estimated expenses for which we accrue expenses include fees paid to our contract manufacturers in conjunction with the production of clinical materials and service fees paid to organizations for their performance in conducting our clinical trials. In the event that we do not identify certain costs which have begun to be incurred or we under or over-estimate the level of services performed or the costs of such services, our reported expenses for that period may be too low or too high. The date, on which certain services commence, the levels of services performed on or before a given date and the cost of such services are often judgmental. We make these judgments based upon the facts and circumstances known to us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, Repligen entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with ChiRhoClin, Inc., (CRC) in full settlement of their arbitration proceedings. Under the terms of the Agreement, Repligen received a payment of $750,000 and will be entitled to continue to market SecreFlo® for the next several years. This payment of $750,000 is recorded as “Accrued Liabilities” as of September 30, 2005. CRC also agreed to continue to supply additional product to the Company. The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor” (“EITF 02-16”) addresses the accounting and income statement classification for consideration given by a vendor to a customer in connection with the sale of the vendor’s products. The EITF concluded that such consideration received from vendors should be reflected as a decrease in prices paid for inventory and recognized in cost of sales as the related inventory is sold, unless specific criteria are met qualifying the consideration for treatment as reimbursement of specific, identifiable incremental costs. The provisions of EITF 02-16 will result in the reduction of cost of goods sold as future inventory purchased from CRC is sold. We anticipate this will result in an improved gross margin for the remainder of fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005.

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended September 30, 2005 vs. September 30, 2004

 

Total revenue

 

Total revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were approximately $2,800,000 and $1,296,000 respectively, an increase of $1,504,000 or 116%. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 Protein A sales accounted for the majority of the increase as they increased to $2,278,000 from $842,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. Our revenues are subject to significant quarterly fluctuations based on the timing of large-scale production orders of Protein A.

 

Operating expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were approximately $3,479,000 and $3,116,000, respectively, an increase of $363,000 or 12%.

 

Research and development expenses for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, were approximately $1,325,000 and $1,274,000, respectively, an increase of $51,000 or 4%. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, this increase is largely attributable to an increase in external research expenses of $53,000, clinical trial expenses of $29,000 and clinical material expenses of $47,000 off-set by a $68,000 decrease in personnel expenses. Significant fluctuations in research and development expenses may occur from period to period depending on the nature, timing, and extent of development activities over any given period of time.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were approximately $1,283,000 and $1,139,000 respectively, an increase of $144,000 or 13%. This increase is attributable to an increase in personnel related costs of $101,000, including executive level search fees and expenses associated with our independent accountants for audit and 404 compliance services of $51,000 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2005.

 

Cost of product revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were approximately $872,000 and $703,000, respectively, an increase of $169,000 or 24%. This increase in cost of goods sold primarily reflects costs associated with increased revenue in the period ended September 30, 2005 off-set by the discontinuation of royalty and amortization expense of license fees on the SecreFlo® product of $300,000 incurred during the period ended September 30, 2004. Gross profit for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $1,843,000 or 68% of product revenue and 593,000 or 46% of product revenue, respectively. Gross profit is positively impacted in periods when product sales are higher because there is more dilution of fixed costs. We anticipate that higher product sales and the aforementioned settlement with ChiRhoClin will result in an improved margin for the remainder of fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005.

 

Interest income

 

Interest income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 was approximately $212,000 and $101,000 respectively, a result of increased interest rates.

 

Six months ended September 30, 2005 vs. September 30, 2004

 

Total revenue

 

Total revenue for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, was approximately $7,038,000 and $4,106,000 respectively, an increase of $2,932,000 or 71%. During the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 Protein A sales increased to $5,757,000 from $3,079,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase in total revenue is attributable to increased demand for our Protein A products during the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Our revenues are subject to quarterly fluctuations, based on the timing of large-scale production orders of Protein A.

Operating expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, were approximately $6,838,000 and $6,668,000, respectively, an increase of $170,000 or 2%.

 

Research and development expenses for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, were approximately $2,514,000 and $2,663,000, respectively, a decrease of $149,000 or 6%. Significant fluctuations in research and development expenses may occur from period to period depending on the nature and extent of development activities over any given time frame. This decrease is largely attributable to decreases in personnel costs of $98,000, clinical material expenses of $76,000, contract research and trial expenses of $61,000, off-set by a an increase of $90,000 in consulting fees during the six month period ended September 30, 2005.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, were approximately $2,478,000 and $2,168,000, respectively, an increase of $310,000 or 14%. This increase is largely attributable to increased litigation expenses of $136,000, professional expenses of $116,000 as well as increased staffing of $64,000 in fiscal year 2006.

 

Cost of product revenue for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, was approximately $1,846,000 and $1,836,000, respectively, an increase of $10,000 or .5%. Gross profit for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $4,882,000 or 73% of total revenue and $2,270,000 or 55% of total revenue, respectively. This increase in cost of goods sold in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 is attributable to increases in direct material costs of $599,000 due to increased sales, increased personnel costs of $67,000 and $50,000 for a write-down of raw material inventory. These increases were off-set by the discontinuation of royalty and amortization expense of license fees on the SecreFlo® product of $716,000. Gross profit is positively impacted in periods when product sales are higher because there is more dilution of fixed costs. We anticipate that higher product sales and the aforementioned settlement with ChiRhoClin will result in an improved margin in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005.

 

Interest income

 

Interest income for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, was approximately $349,000 and $198,000, respectively, a result of increased interest rates.

 

Other income

 

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, Repligen entered into a Settlement Agreement with ChiRhoClin, Inc., in full settlement of their arbitration proceedings. Under terms of the Agreement, Repligen is not required to pay approximately $1,170,000 of previously accrued but unremitted royalties to ChiRhoClin related to SecreFlo® sales from February 2004 to March 2005. This amount, which was accrued at March 31, 2005, was reversed at the time of settlement and is recorded as other income in the six months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

We have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity securities and revenues derived from product sales and grant and research agreements. Our revenue for the foreseeable future will be primarily limited to our product revenue related to Protein A and SecreFlo®. Given the uncertainties related to pharmaceutical product development, we are currently unable to reliably estimate when, if ever, our therapeutic product candidates will generate revenue and cash flows. Total cash and marketable securities at September 30, 2005 totaled $24,875,000, an increase of $1,034,000 from $23,841,000 at March 31, 2005.

 

Our operating activities provided cash of approximately $1,253,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 consisting of net income of approximately $1,719,000 and non-cash charges of approximately $184,000 for depreciation and amortization. These sources of cash were offset by a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $66,000, a decrease in accrued liabilities of approximately $367,000, as well as an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $286,000.

 

In May 2005, we announced a settlement with our sole supplier of SecreFlo®. As a result of this settlement we received a payment of $750,000 in the period ended September 30, 2005 and will continue to market SecreFlo® for

 

13


Table of Contents

the next several years under a more favorable royalty structure. In addition as a result of this settlement we will be relieved of our previously accrued but unremitted obligation to pay approximately $1,170,000 in royalties related to prior sales. This was recorded as other income in the period ended June 30, 2005.

 

Our cash was reduced by capital expenditures of $244,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Our investing activities provided cash of approximately $1,662,000 primarily from redemptions of marketable securities. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments. We generally place our marketable security investments in high quality credit instruments, as specified in our investment policy guidelines. Our investment policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer (with the exception of U.S. treasury obligations) and type of investment. We do not expect any material loss from our investment in marketable securities.

 

Working capital increased to $15,782,000 at September 30, 2005 from $15,673,000 at March 31, 2005 primarily as a result of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:

 

    the success of our clinical studies;

 

    the scope of and progress made in our research and development activities;

 

    our ability to acquire additional product candidates;

 

    the success of any proposed financing efforts; and

 

    the ability to sustain sales and profits of our commercial products.

 

Our future capital requirements include, but are not limited to, continued investment in our research and development programs, capital expenditures primarily associated with purchases of equipment and continued investment in our intellectual property portfolio. We expect to incur a $1,000,000 of capital investment primarily to expand our Protein A manufacturing facility in the next twelve months.

 

We plan to continue to invest in key research and development activities. We actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses that would complement our existing portfolio of development programs. We continue to seek to acquire such potential assets that may offer us the best opportunity to create value for our shareholders. In order to acquire such assets, we may need to seek additional financing to fund these investments. This may require the issuance or sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Should we need to secure additional financing to acquire a product, fund future investment in research and development, or meet our future liquidity requirements, we may not be able to secure such financing, or obtain such financing on favorable terms because of the volatile nature of the biotechnology marketplace.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2005, we did not have any debt arrangements that were not reflected in our balance sheet.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as oral statements that may be made by Repligen or by officers, directors or employees of Repligen acting on its behalf, that are not historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not constitute guarantees of future performance. Investors are cautioned that statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not strictly historical statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding current or future financial performance, management’s strategy, litigation strategy, costs of legal proceedings, disputes with suppliers, plans and objectives for future operations, clinical trials and results, marketing plans, revenue potential of therapeutic product candidates, product research, intellectual property and development, manufacturing plans and performance, delays in manufacturing by us or our partners, timing of customer orders, the anticipated growth in our target markets, including, without limitation, the market for neuropsychiatric disorders treatment, the market for pancreatic disease treatment, the monoclonal antibody market and the process chromatography industry and projected growth in product sales, costs of operations, sufficiency of funds to meet management objectives and availability of financing and effects of accounting pronouncements constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from the historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, risks associated with: the success of current and future collaborative relationships, the success of our clinical trials and our ability to develop and commercialize products, our ability to obtain required regulatory approvals, our compliance with all Food and Drug Administration regulations, our ability to obtain, maintain and protect intellectual property rights for our products, the risk of current and future litigation regarding our patent and other intellectual property rights, the risk of litigation with collaborative partners, our limited sales and marketing experience and capabilities, our limited manufacturing capabilities and our dependence on third-party manufacturers and value-added resellers, our ability to hire and retain skilled personnel, the market acceptance of our products, our ability to compete with larger, better financed pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that may develop new approaches to the treatment of our targeted diseases, our history of losses and expectation of incurring continued losses, our ability to generate future revenues, our ability to raise additional capital to continue our drug development programs, our volatile stock price, and the effects of our anti-takeover provisions. Further information on potential risk factors that could affect our financial results are included in the filings made by us from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission including under the section entitled “Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We have investments in commercial paper, U.S. Government and agency securities as well as corporate bonds and other debt securities. As a result, we are exposed to potential loss from market risks that may occur as a result of changes in interest rates, changes in credit quality of the issuer or otherwise.

 

We generally place our marketable security investments in high quality credit instruments, as specified in our investment policy guidelines. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an approximate $126,000 decrease in the fair value of our investments as of September 30, 2005. We believe, however, that the conservative nature of our investments mitigates our interest rate exposure, and our investment policy limits the amount of our credit exposure to any one issue, issuer, (with the exception of U.S. treasury obligations) and type of instrument. We do not expect any material loss from our marketable security investments and therefore believe that our potential interest rate exposure is limited. We intend to hold the majority of our investments to maturity, in accordance with our business plans.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of September 30, 2005, Repligen, under the supervision and with the participation of Repligen’s management, including Walter C. Herlihy, Repligen’s Chief Executive Officer and President (Principal executive, accounting, and financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of Repligen’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, Repligen’s Chief Executive Officer and President (Principal executive, accounting, and financial officer) concluded that, as of September 30, 2005, Repligen’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information relating to Repligen required to be disclosed by Repligen in the reports that it files

 

16


Table of Contents

or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to Repligen’s management, including Repligen’s Chief Executive Officer and President (Principal executive, accounting, and financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in Repligen’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Repligen’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
