ADVANCED MAGNETICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2007

(Unaudited)

A.                                   Summary of Accounting Policies

Business

Founded in November 1981, Advanced Magnetics, Inc., or the Company, a Delaware corporation, is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutic iron compounds to treat anemia, as well as novel imaging agents to aid in the diagnosis of cancer and cardiovascular disease.  We have two approved products, Feridex I.V.® and GastroMARK®, and we have two product candidates, ferumoxytol and Combidex®.  Ferumoxytol, the Company’s key product candidate, is being developed for use as an intravenous, or IV, iron replacement therapeutic for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in chronic kidney disease.  Combidex is our investigational functional molecular imaging agent consisting of iron oxide nanoparticles for use in conjunction with magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, to aid in the differentiation of cancerous from normal lymph nodes.  Feridex I.V., the Company’s liver contrast agent, is approved and marketed in Europe, the United States and other countries.  GastroMARK, our oral contrast agent used for delineating the bowel in MRI, is approved and marketed in Europe, the United States and other countries.

Basis of Presentation

These condensed financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of such interim financial statements.  Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.  The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reports and the instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  Our accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Equity-Based Compensation

On October 1, 2005, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123R “Share-Based Payment,” or SFAS 123R, and its related implementation guidance as promulgated by both the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, and the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, or SAB 107, in connection with accounting for the share-based compensation arrangements of our employees and certain directors.  These pronouncements require that equity-based compensation cost be measured at the grant date (based upon an estimate of the fair value of the compensation granted) and recorded to expense over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period.

7




We estimate the fair value of equity-based compensation involving stock options utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  This model requires the input of several factors such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield over the expected option term, and an expected forfeiture rate, and is subject to various assumptions.  We believe this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options we grant to employees and directors which are subject to SFAS 123R requirements.  These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results or amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants.  These amounts, and the amounts applicable to future quarters, are also subject to future quarterly adjustments based upon a variety of factors, which include, but are not limited to, the issuance of new options.  The fair value of restricted stock units granted to employees and directors is determined at the grant date and is computed using the fair value method, which is based upon the estimated fair market value per share on the date of the grant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable.  Any net unrealized gain (loss) on investments is recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity entitled “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.”

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from the prior fiscal quarter have been reclassified to conform to the current quarter’s presentation.  The Company has changed from the direct method presentation of cash flows to the indirect method presentation of cash flows in order to conform to comparable industry presentations.

B.                                   Investments

We account for and classify our investments as either “available-for-sale,” “trading,” or “held-to-maturity,” in accordance with the guidance outlined in SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” or SFAS 115.  The determination of the appropriate classification by us is based on a variety of factors including management’s intent.

As of March 31, 2007, our investments amounted to $141.2 million, and consisted of various securities with effective maturity dates ranging up to 22 months, all of which were classified as either “held-to maturity” or “available-for-sale.”

D.                                   Income Taxes

There were no income tax provisions or benefits for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, as we incurred a net loss in all of those periods.  Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

E.                                     Net Loss per Share

We compute basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period.  Options to purchase a total of 1,157,873 and 1,113,603 shares of common stock that were outstanding as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because such options were anti-dilutive as we incurred a net loss in those periods.  In addition, 33,000 and 24,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units were outstanding as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because such units were anti-dilutive as we incurred a net loss in those periods.

Warrants to purchase 261,780 shares of common stock, issued in July 2003 at an exercise price of $15.50 per share (of which 135,097 were exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2006), were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2006 because such warrants were anti-dilutive as we incurred a net loss in those periods.  In addition, warrants to purchase 359,999 shares of common stock, issued in June 2005 at an exercise price of $13.00 per share (of which 287,368 were exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2006), were also excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2006 because such warrants were anti-dilutive as we incurred a net loss in those periods.  There were no warrants outstanding during the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2007.

The components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands except per share data):

F.                                     Common Stock Transactions

In December 2006, we sold an aggregate of 2,103,000 shares of our common stock, $.01 par value per share, in an underwritten public offering at a price to the public of $62.00 per common share, resulting in gross proceeds of $130.4 million.  Net proceeds to us after deducting fees, commissions and other expenses related to the offering were $122.9 million.  The shares were issued pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and a registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

In March 2006, we sold an aggregate of 1,233,214 shares of our common stock, $.01 par value per share, in an underwritten public offering at a price to the public of $27.46 per common share, resulting in gross proceeds of $33.8 million.  Net proceeds to us after deducting fees, commissions and other expenses related to the offering were $31.7 million.  The shares were issued pursuant to our then existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and a registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Securities Act.

G.                                   Equity-Based Compensation

We have several stock-based compensation plans.  Our Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan, which was approved by our stockholders, provides for the grant of options and other stock awards to our directors, officers, employees and consultants.  The terms and conditions of each such grant, including, but not limited to, the number of shares, the exercise price, term of the option/award and vesting requirements, are determined by our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.

As of March 31, 2007, we have granted options and restricted stock units covering 1,779,650 shares of common stock under the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan, of which 164,050 stock options and no restricted stock units have expired or terminated, and 447,877 of which have been exercised.  The remaining number of outstanding options and restricted stock units pursuant to this plan as of March 31, 2007 was 1,134,723 and 33,000, respectively.  The remaining number of shares available for future grants as of March 31, 2007 was 384,400.  All outstanding options granted have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date and substantially all outstanding options have a ten year term.

Our standard stock option agreement allows for payment of the exercise price for vested stock options either through a cash remittance to us in exchange for newly issued shares, or through a non-cash exchange of previously issued shares held by the recipient in exchange for our newly issued shares.  The latter method results in no cash being received by us, but also results in a lower number of total shares subsequently being outstanding (as compared to a cash exercise), as a direct result of previously issued shares being exchanged in return for the issuance of new shares.  Shares returned to us in this manner are retired.

At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 6, 2007, our stockholders approved our 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  The plan authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of our common stock to eligible employees.  Under the terms of the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which begins on June 1, 2007 and expires May 31, 2012, eligible employees may purchase shares (subject to certain plan and/or income tax limitations) in ten semi-annual offerings through payroll deductions of up to an annual maximum of 10% of the employee’s total compensation, including base pay or salary and any overtime, bonuses or commissions.  The first period of the plan commences on June 1, 2007 and ends November 30, 2007.  For the remainder of the plan, periods will consist of six-month periods commencing June 1 and ending November 30 and commencing December 1 and ending May 31.  The purchase price per share is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the first or last day of the plan period.  As of March 31, 2007, no shares have been issued under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

On November 7, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a revised plan of non-employee director compensation.  As part of this plan it is intended that on the first Tuesday of each November, each non-employee director will be granted an option to purchase $100,000 in value of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan.  These options will vest in full on the date of grant, have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock as of the date of grant,

11




and have a ten year term.  The actual number of shares granted will be determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model identical to that used by the Company for purposes of preparing its financial statements.  In lieu of the foregoing annual grant for the first year of service on the Board, each newly-elected non-employee director will be granted an option to purchase $250,000 in value of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan on the date such director is elected to the Board.  These options will vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant, have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock as of the date of grant, and have a ten-year term.  The actual number of shares granted will be determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

At March 31, 2007, the amount of unrecorded expense associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R attributable to future periods for employee stock-based compensation was $16.3 million, of which $15.6 million was associated with stock options and $0.7 million was associated with restricted stock units.  Such amounts will be amortized, in varying amounts, to research and development or selling, general and administrative expense, on a straight line basis over a weighted average amortization period of approximately three years.  These future estimates are subject to change based upon a variety of future events which include, but are not limited to, changes in estimated forfeiture rates, and the issuance of new options.

H.            Concentration of Credit Risk

Our operations are located solely within the United States.  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral.  Four companies were responsible for approximately 99% of our revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2007.  Guerbet S.A., or Guerbet, represented approximately 34%, Cytogen Corporation, or Cytogen, represented approximately 26%, Berlex Laboratories, Inc., or Berlex, represented approximately 25%, and Tyco Healthcare, or Tyco, represented approximately 14% of our revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2007.  Three companies were responsible for approximately 87% of our revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2006.  Guerbet represented approximately 48%, Berlex represented approximately 27%, and Tyco represented approximately 12% of our revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2006.  No other company accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007.

Tyco represented approximately 99% and 93% of our trade receivables at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.  Revenues from customers and licensees outside of the United States, principally in Europe, South Korea and Japan, amounted to 35% and 55% of our total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

I.                                        Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, entitled, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”  FIN 48, and related pronouncements, specifically clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with the provisions of FASB 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The adoption of the provisions of these pronouncements, which become effective for fiscal years that begin on or after December 15, 2006, is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.  In February 2007, the FASB issued proposed FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-a, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48.”  This proposal would amend FIN 48 to provide guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” or SFAS 157.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.  Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements.  However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Accordingly we are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 157.

12




In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” or SFAS 159.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, thereby providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  The amendment to SFAS 115 applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities.  SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Accordingly we are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 159.

J.                                     Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On January 25, 2006, Cytogen filed a lawsuit against us in Massachusetts Superior Court.  The complaint included claims of breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraudulent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment relating to a license and marketing agreement entered into in August 2000 between us and Cytogen.  We filed an answer to the complaint asserting numerous counterclaims, including breach of contract, defamation, tortious interference with advantageous business relations, tortious interference with contract, abuse of process, and violation of the Lanham Act.  On February 15, 2007, we settled the lawsuit with Cytogen.  As a result, on February 15, 2007, each party dropped all claims against the other, and all agreements between the parties were terminated.  Under the terms of the settlement, we paid Cytogen $4.0 million in cash and released to Cytogen 50,000 shares of Cytogen common stock held in escrow under the terms of the original license and marketing agreement.

Facility Lease and Related Letter of Credit

On February 28, 2006, we entered into a lease agreement with CambridgePark 125 Realty Corporation, for certain real property located on the 6th Floor at 125 CambridgePark Drive, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The lease has a three year term, with an additional partial month at the beginning of the term and provides for one option to extend the lease for a two year period. Under the terms of the lease, we are required to pay the landlord approximately $15,600 per calendar month for the first year of the term (plus the partial month at the beginning of the term), approximately $16,300 per calendar month for the next year of the term and approximately $17,000 per calendar month for the last year of the term. In addition to rent, we are also required to pay a proportionate share of the landlord’s annual operating costs and electricity. The rent for any extension term will be determined at the time of the exercise of the option under terms set out in the lease.

On November 29, 2006, we entered into an amendment to our lease with CambridgePark 125 Realty Corporation, for the purpose of securing the rental of an additional 8,154 square feet of executive office space on the 2nd Floor at 125 CambridgePark Drive on a coterminous basis with our existing lease.  Under the terms of the lease amendment, we are required to pay the landlord approximately $18,300 per calendar month for the first year of the amended lease for the additional space, approximately $19,000 per calendar month for the second year of the amended lease for the additional space, and approximately $19,700 per calendar month for the remaining term of the amended lease for the additional space.  All of the other terms and conditions of the original lease apply to the additional rented space.  In addition to rent, we are also required to pay a proportionate share of the landlord’s annual operating costs and electricity.  The rent for any extension term will be determined at the time of the exercise of the option under terms set out in the lease.

In accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-3, “Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases,” rent expense is being recognized in the financial statements on a straight-line basis over the lease term, excluding extension periods. In accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 88-13, “Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases,” and other related interpretations, lease incentives granted to us by the lessor pursuant to the lease amendment are being accounted for on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the amended lease for the additional space.  In addition, in fulfillment of a security deposit requirement for both the original space and the additional space, we issued a $33,949 irrevocable letter of credit to the landlord. This amount is classified on the accompanying balance sheet as a long-term asset and is restricted in its use.

We are a party to an agreement with FoxKiser Development Partners LLC, or FoxKiser, one of our regulatory consultants for Combidex, which provides for certain royalty payments to FoxKiser based on future commercial product sales of Combidex, if any.

K.            Subsequent Events

On May 1, 2007, Jerome Goldstein, the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and founder of our company, retired as an officer and director of our company.  In connection with his retirement, Mr. Goldstein entered into a separation agreement with us whereby he received $85,000 plus accrued salary and vacation through May 1, 2007.  In addition, effective May 1, 2007, Mr. Goldstein’s November 7, 2006 option to purchase 50,000 shares was accelerated to become vested and immediately exercisable with respect to 25,000 shares.  The option agreement with respect to the November 7, 2006 grant was amended to make the vested portion of that option grant exercisable until December 31, 2007.

Overview

Advanced Magnetics, Inc., or the Company, was incorporated in Delaware in November 1981 and is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutic iron compounds to treat anemia, as well as novel imaging agents to aid in the diagnosis of cancer and cardiovascular disease.  We have two approved products, Feridex I.V.® and GastroMARK®, and two product candidates, ferumoxytol and Combidex®.

Ferumoxytol, the Company’s key product candidate, is being developed for use as an intravenous, or IV, iron replacement therapeutic for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in chronic kidney disease, or CKD.  We have completed enrollment in all four of our planned pivotal Phase III clinical studies for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic.  Two of the completed studies were identical efficacy and safety studies each of which enrolled 304 non-dialysis CKD patients comparing two doses of 510 mg ferumoxytol to daily oral iron.  The third completed study was a safety study in 750 non-dialysis dependent CKD and dialysis-dependent CKD patients comparing a single dose of 510 mg ferumoxytol to placebo.

We presented Phase III data from the second of the two identical efficacy and safety studies in non-dialysis dependent CKD patients as well as data from the 750 patient safety study in both dialysis-dependent and non-dialysis

14




dependent CKD patients at the National Kidney Foundation’s Spring Clinical Meeting in April 2007.  The efficacy and safety study results demonstrated a statistically significant achievement of all primary and secondary endpoints.  Additionally, the findings from the 750 patient safety study supported that ferumoxytol was well tolerated in subjects with CKD.

The final study, in which enrollment was completed in March 2007, is a 230 patient multi-center efficacy and safety study in hemodialysis-dependent CKD patients comparing two doses of 510 mg ferumoxytol to daily oral iron.  Based on our current estimates of the timing of our efforts to prepare and finalize the submission of the New Drug Application, or NDA, for ferumoxytol, we currently plan to submit the NDA for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic in patients with CKD to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, during the fourth calendar quarter of  2007.

Combidex, our other product under development, is an investigational functional molecular imaging agent consisting of iron oxide nanoparticles for use in conjunction with magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, to aid in the differentiation of cancerous from normal lymph nodes.  In March 2005, we received an approvable letter from the FDA with respect to Combidex, subject to certain conditions.  We are working with our European partner, Guerbet, S.A, or Guerbet, on the potential presentation to the FDA of additional data from a Phase III study sponsored by Guerbet in Europe in patients with pelvic cancers, including prostate, bladder, cervical and uterus cancer, which, together with other additional information we intend to provide to the FDA, we hope will address the concerns raised in the March 2005 approvable letter.  In December 2006, Guerbet announced that it submitted to the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, a marketing authorization application, the European equivalent of an NDA, seeking approval for Combidex under the tradename SineremTM as an aid in the differentiation of lymph nodes in patients with pelvic cancers, including prostate, bladder and uterus cancer.  We plan to announce our strategy for responding to the March 2005 approvable letter during second half of calendar year 2007.  However, until our evaluation of the additional data from Guerbet is complete and we meet with the FDA to discuss our intended response to the March 2005 approvable letter, we cannot predict with certainty the timing or likelihood of our ability to satisfy the conditions specified by the FDA for approval of Combidex.

Feridex I.V., our liver contrast agent, is currently approved and marketed in Europe, the United States and other countries.  GastroMARK, our oral contrast agent used for delineating the bowel in MRI, is also approved and marketed in Europe, the United States and other countries.

Results of Operations for the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2007 as Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2006

Revenues

Total revenues were $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of approximately 28%.  The increase in revenues was primarily the result of an increase in the recognition of deferred license fee revenue from a license and marketing agreement covering Combidex, partially offset by decreased sales of Feridex I.V. and GastroMARK by our marketing partners.  Four companies were responsible for 100% of our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Cytogen Corporation, or Cytogen, represented approximately 39%, Guerbet represented approximately 26%, Berlex Laboratories, Inc., or Berlex, represented approximately 22%, and Tyco Healthcare, or Tyco, represented approximately 13% of our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Three companies were responsible for approximately 88% of our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  Guerbet represented approximately 46%, Berlex represented approximately 26% and Tyco represented approximately 16% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of the following (in thousands):

License Fee Revenue

All of our license fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of license fee revenue related to a license and marketing agreement signed with Cytogen in fiscal 2000 and license fee revenue associated with a license and marketing agreement with Berlex signed in fiscal 1995.

In August 2000, we entered into a license and marketing agreement with Cytogen in which, among other things, we granted Cytogen exclusive United States marketing rights to Combidex.  At the time of signing that agreement, we received shares of common stock of Cytogen with a market value of $13.5 million as a non-refundable licensing fee.  Revenue associated with this fee was recognized over the development period of the products subject to the agreement as costs were incurred.  The entire amount of the license fee was booked as deferred revenue upon signing the agreement.  On February 15, 2007, as part of the settlement of a lawsuit with Cytogen, the license and marketing agreement with Cytogen was terminated.  Therefore, the remainder of the deferred revenue associated with this agreement, $0.4 million, was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $45,000 recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2006.

In February 1995, we entered into a license and marketing agreement and a supply agreement with Berlex, granting Berlex a product license and exclusive marketing rights to Feridex I.V. in the United States and Canada. In 1996, the parties agreed to remove Canada from the territories subject to the agreement.  Berlex paid us non-refundable license fees and other fees in connection with the agreements.  We have determined to account for the revenue associated with this agreement on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement due to the existence of an established contract period.  The agreement expires in 2010 but can be terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

The decrease in product sale revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily the result of a decrease in sales of both Feridex I.V. and GastroMARK to our marketing partners partially offset by an increase in the sale of bulk Combidex to one of our foreign marketing partners for research and development purposes.  Product sales fluctuate from period to period largely as a result of unpredictable annual product demand by end users and the batch size in which our products are manufactured and shipped, which creates uneven purchasing patterns by our marketing partners.  Due to the historically low volume of our product sales, the impact of inflation is immaterial.  We expect revenue from product sales will continue to fluctuate from period to period as a result of these factors.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Product Sales

We incurred costs of $0.2 million associated with product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to costs of $51,000 associated with product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  This constituted approximately 53% and 13% of product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The increase in cost of product sales is due primarily to the sale of bulk Combidex at cost to one of our foreign marketing partners for research and development purposes in the three months ended March 31, 2007.  The cost of product sales and therefore our gross margins are dependent on the mix of customers, prices we charge for our products, product mix, changes in unit volume and production efficiencies.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include external expenses, such as costs of clinical trials, contract research and development expenses, consulting and professional fees and expenses, and internal expenses, such as compensation of employees engaged in research and development activities, the manufacture of limited quantities of product needed to support research and development efforts, related costs of facilities, and other general costs related to research and development.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Total research and development expenses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2007 amounted to $6.1 million, an increase of $2.1 million from the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Of the $2.1 million increase, $0.8 million was attributable to an increase in external costs and $1.3 million was attributable to an increase in internal costs.  We expect research and development expenses to continue to increase for the remainder of fiscal 2007 as we complete our Phase III clinical trials, prepare for our ferumoxytol NDA submission and finalize our plan for responding to the March 2005 approvable letter we received from the FDA with respect to Combidex.

The $0.8 million increase in external costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was due primarily to an increase in expenditures associated with the development program for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic as we moved our Phase III clinical trials toward completion.

The $1.3 million increase in internal costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was due primarily to higher compensation related costs as a result of hiring additional research and development personnel and the implementation of a company-wide bonus plan in fiscal 2007. There were no company-wide bonus plans in place during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  There was also an increase of $0.2 million in our non-cash stock based compensation charge in the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Through the end of fiscal 2000, we incurred aggregate internal and external research and development expenses of $6.5 million related to pre-clinical and toxicology studies of ferumoxytol.  Since the end of fiscal 2000 and through the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred aggregate external research and development expenses of $33.2 million related to pre-clinical activities and clinical trials in connection with ferumoxytol.  We currently estimate that the future cost of the external efforts necessary to complete development prior to the submission of our NDA for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic for the treatment of anemia in CKD patients in the U.S. will be in the range of approximately $7.0 to $9.0 million over approximately the next 6 to 9 months.  Our external costs could increase if we experience unexpected results from our clinical sites or inadequate performance or errors by third party service providers.  External costs could also increase if we need to increase the scope and/or budget of the services provided by third parties, if there are deficiencies in the design or oversight by us of these studies, or if we need to conduct additional clinical trials or we otherwise experience a delay in the submission of our NDA for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic.

We incurred total research and development expenses of $13.5 million through the end of fiscal 2000 in connection with the development of Combidex.  Since fiscal 2000 and through the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred additional external research and development expenses of $1.6 million, as well as additional internal research and development costs related to our efforts to obtain FDA approval for Combidex.  We cannot predict with certainty the timing or cost of the efforts that would be necessary to satisfy the conditions specified by the FDA for approval of Combidex or our ability to complete those efforts in a timely or cost-effective manner, if at all.  However, we expect that both our internal and external research and development expenses will increase as we finalize our strategy for responding to the March 2005 approvable letter with respect to Combidex.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was due primarily to costs associated with the establishment of our commercial operations function, including the professional staff and consultants hired to assist in preparation for the potential commercialization of ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic.  There was also an increase of $0.3 million in our non-cash stock based compensation charge in the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase over the remainder of fiscal 2007 as we continue our efforts to recruit additional staff, including sales and marketing professionals and consultants to assist in preparation for the potential commercialization of ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic.

The decrease in other income (loss) in the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, was primarily attributable to amounts paid in the settlement of a lawsuit with Cytogen partially offset by an increase in interest income related to funds being invested in higher interest-bearing investments, combined with a higher average total dollar amount of invested funds in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year as a result of our March 2006 and December 2006 financings.

Income Taxes

We had no income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, as we incurred a net loss in each of those fiscal quarters.  Due to the uncertainty of the realizability of our deferred tax assets, including loss carryforwards, a full valuation allowance has been recorded as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 against these assets.

Net Loss

For the reasons stated above, there was a net loss of ($10.2) million, or ($0.72) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of ($5.1) million, or ($0.50) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Results of Operations for the Six-Month Period Ended March 31, 2007 as Compared to the Six-Month Period Ended March 31, 2006

Revenues

Total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were $1.5 million compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006.  The increase in revenues was primarily the result of an increase in the recognition of deferred license fee revenue from a license and marketing agreement covering Combidex, partially offset by decreased sales of Feridex I.V. and GastroMARK by our marketing partners.  Four companies were responsible for approximately 99% of our revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2007.  Guerbet represented approximately 34%, Cytogen represented approximately 26%, Berlex represented approximately 25% and Tyco represented approximately 14% of our revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2007.

License Fee Revenue

License fee revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of license fee revenue related to a license and marketing agreement signed with Cytogen in fiscal 2000 and license fee revenue associated with a license and marketing agreement with Berlex signed in fiscal 1995.

During the six months ended March 31, 2007 our revenue associated with the Cytogen agreement increased as compared with the six months ended March 31, 2006.  On February 15, 2007, as part of the settlement of a lawsuit with Cytogen, the license and marketing agreement with Cytogen was terminated.  Therefore, the remainder of the deferred revenue associated with this agreement, $0.4 million, was recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $84,000 recognized in the six months ended March 31, 2006.

The decrease in product sale revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily the result of a decrease in sales of GastroMARK and Feridex I.V. to our marketing partners, partially offset by an increase in sales of bulk Combidex to one of our foreign marketing partners for research and development purposes.  Product sales may fluctuate from period to period.  Fluctuations in our product sales are largely attributable to unpredictable annual product demand by end users and the batch size in which our products are manufactured and shipped, which creates uneven purchasing patterns by our marketing partners.  We expect revenue from product sales will continue to fluctuate from period to period as a result of these factors.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Product Sales

We incurred costs of $0.4 million associated with product sales during the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to costs of $0.2 million associated with product sales during the same period in the prior fiscal year.  This constituted approximately 69% and 22% of product sales during the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The increase in cost of product sales is due primarily to the sale of bulk Combidex at cost to one of our foreign marketing partners for research and development purposes.

Total research and development expenses incurred in the six months ended March 31, 2007 amounted to $12.5 million, an increase of $5.4 million from the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Of the $5.4 million increase, $2.9 million was attributable to an increase in external costs and $2.5 million was attributable to an increase in internal costs.  We expect research and development expenses to continue to increase for the remainder of fiscal 2007 as we complete our Phase III clinical trials, prepare for our ferumoxytol NDA submission and finalize our plan for responding to the March 2005 approvable letter we received from the FDA with respect to Combidex.

The $2.9 million increase in external costs for the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was due primarily to an increase in expenditures associated with the development

21




program for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic as we moved our Phase III clinical trials toward completion.

The $2.5 million increase in internal costs for the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was due primarily to higher compensation related costs as a result of hiring additional research and development personnel and the implementation of an annual compensation program for our employees, which provided retroactive bonuses for fiscal 2006 and a company-wide bonus program for fiscal 2007.  The increase includes amounts for the full bonus for fiscal 2006 and an accrual of the pro rata fiscal 2007 bonuses.  There were no company-wide bonus plans in place during the six months ended March 31, 2006.  There was also an increase of $0.5 million in our non-cash stock based compensation charge in the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

For the reasons stated above, there was a net loss of ($17.6) million, or ($1.33) per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of ($9.3) million, or ($0.92) per basic and diluted share for the six months ended March 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of our equity securities, proceeds from our marketing and distribution partners and cash generated from our investing activities.  Our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

·       the progress of, and our ability to successfully complete development of ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic in a timely manner and within our projected budget;

·       our need to hire additional staff and lease additional office space as part of our commercialization efforts for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic, including our efforts to build an internal sales and marketing function;

·       the costs associated with preparing for commercial-scale manufacturing of ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic, including the costs associated with qualifying a second manufacturing facility;

·       costs associated with our potential development of additional indications for ferumoxytol;

·       costs associated with our pursuit of approval for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic in Europe and other countries;

·       our ability to successfully obtain regulatory approvals for our products;

·       our ability to satisfy the conditions specified by the FDA for approval of Combidex;

·       our ability to obtain appropriate reimbursement from governmental and other third party payors for our products;

·       the magnitude of product sales and royalties;

·       our ability to establish additional development and marketing arrangements or to enter into alternative strategic relationships;

·       the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims; and

·       our ability to raise additional capital on terms and within a timeframe acceptable to us, if necessary.

The significant increase in cash, cash equivalents and investments as of March 31, 2007 compared to September 30, 2006 is primarily the result of the receipt of net proceeds of $122.9 million from our December 2006 public offering of common stock.  As of March 31, 2007, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, combined with cash we currently expect to receive from other sources, will be sufficient to satisfy our future cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months, including projected operating expenses and research and development costs related to our development program for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic.

Net cash used in operating activities was $20.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $6.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $13.7 million.  This increase was due to higher payments made to research and development service providers associated with our ongoing clinical trials, a $4.0 million settlement payment to Cytogen, an increase in compensation related expenses associated with the hiring of additional employees for research and development and commercial operations, and bonus payments made to our employees for the fiscal year 2006.

We anticipate cash used in operating activities will increase in future periods as we continue to advance our ongoing development program for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic, including our preparation of our NDA submission for ferumoxytol, our development of new indications for ferumoxytol in the United States, and/or our planning and initiation of clinical trials outside the United States, our continued expansion of our commercial organization in support of ferumoxytol, our efforts to qualify second source suppliers and manufacturers of ferumoxytol, and finalization of our strategy for responding to the FDA’s March 2005 approvable letter with respect to Combidex.

In addition to our internal research and development costs, we currently estimate that the future cost of the external efforts necessary to complete development prior to the submission of our NDA for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic for the treatment of anemia in CKD patients in the U.S. will be in the range of approximately $7.0 to $9.0 million over approximately the next 6 to 9 months.  Our external costs could increase if we experience unexpected results from our clinical sites or inadequate performance or errors by third party service providers.  External costs could also increase if we need to increase the scope and/or budget of the services provided by third parties, if there are deficiencies in the design or oversight by us of these studies, or if we need to conduct additional clinical trials or we otherwise experience a delay in the submission of our NDA for ferumoxytol as an IV iron replacement therapeutic.  We also expect that both our internal and external research and development expenses will increase as we finalize our plan for responding to the March 2005 approvable letter with respect to Combidex.

Cash used in investing activities was $132.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $5.9 million in the six months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $126.3 million.  The increase was due primarily to the purchase of investments in connection with proceeds received from our December 2006 financing.  Our capital expenditures in the six months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $0.2 million compared to the six months ended March 31, 2006 due to expenditures for furniture, fixtures and telecommunications equipment associated with our November 2006 lease of additional office space.

Cash provided by financing activities was $124.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $33.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $90.6 million.  On December 13, 2006, we sold 2,103,000 shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering.  Net proceeds to us from the

24




financing were $122.9 million after deducting external transaction costs directly associated with the common stock offering.  The shares were issued pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and a registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Securities Act.

Facility Lease and Related Letter of Credit

On February 28, 2006, we entered into a lease agreement with CambridgePark 125 Realty Corporation, for certain real property located on the 6th Floor at 125 CambridgePark Drive, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The lease has a three year term, with an additional partial month at the beginning of the term and provides for one option to extend the lease for a two year period. Under the terms of the lease, we are required to pay the landlord approximately $15,600 per calendar month for the first year of the term (plus the partial month at the beginning of the term), approximately $16,300 per calendar month for the next year of the term and approximately $17,000 per calendar month for the last year of the term. In addition to rent, we are also required to pay a proportionate share of the landlord’s annual operating costs and electricity. The rent for any extension term will be determined at the time of the exercise of the option under terms set out in the lease.

On November 29, 2006, we entered into an amendment to our lease with CambridgePark 125 Realty Corporation, for the purpose of securing the rental of an additional 8,154 square feet of executive office space on the 2nd Floor at 125 CambridgePark Drive on a coterminous basis with our existing lease.  Under the terms of the lease amendment, we are required to pay the landlord approximately $18,300 per calendar month for the first year of the amended lease for the additional space, approximately $19,000 per calendar month for the second year of the amended lease for the additional space, and approximately $19,700 per calendar month for the remaining term of the amended lease for the additional space.  All of the other terms and conditions of the original lease apply to the additional rented space.  In addition to rent, we are also required to pay a proportionate share of the landlord’s annual operating costs and electricity.  The rent for any extension term will be determined at the time of the exercise of the option under terms set out in the lease.  In addition, in fulfillment of a security deposit requirement for both the original space and the additional space, we issued a $33,949 irrevocable letter of credit to the landlord. This amount is classified on the balance sheet as a long-term asset and is restricted in its use.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2007, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by SEC rules and regulations.  Warrants to purchase 126,683 shares of common stock, issued in July 2003 at an exercise price of $15.50 per share, and warrants to purchase 72,631 shares of common stock, issued in June 2005 at an exercise price of $13.00 per share were outstanding as of March 31, 2006.  There were no warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2007.

Impact of Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, entitled, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”  FIN 48, and related pronouncements, specifically clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with the provisions of FASB 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The adoption of the provisions of these pronouncements, which become effective for fiscal years that begin on or after December 15, 2006, is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.  In February 2007, the FASB issued proposed FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-a, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48.”  This proposal would amend FIN 48 to provide guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” or SFAS 157.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.  Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements.  However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Accordingly we are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” or SFAS 159.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, thereby providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  The amendment to SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities.  SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Accordingly we are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 159.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of March 31, 2007, we invested a portion of our surplus cash in fixed income investments in U.S. treasury, U.S. government agencies, auction rate securities and commercial paper from U.S. corporations.  These investments are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase.  However, even if market interest rates for comparable investments were to hypothetically increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at March 31, 2007, then this would have resulted in a hypothetical decline in the fair value of our investments of approximately $0.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Managements’ Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act,  Rule 13a-15(e), or Rule 15d-15(e), with the participation of our management, has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  It should be noted that any system of controls is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances that the system will achieve its stated goals under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances.

26




Our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a level that provides such reasonable assurances.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On January 25, 2006, Cytogen Corporation, or Cytogen, filed a lawsuit against us in Massachusetts Superior Court.  The complaint included claims of breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraudulent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment relating to a license and marketing agreement entered into in August 2000 between us and Cytogen.  We filed an answer to the complaint asserting numerous counterclaims, including breach of contract, defamation, tortious interference with advantageous business relations, tortious interference with contract, abuse of process, and violation of the Lanham Act.  On February 15, 2007, we settled the lawsuit with Cytogen.  As a result, on February 15, 2007, each party dropped all claims against the other, and all agreements between the parties were terminated.  Under the terms of the settlement, we paid Cytogen $4.0 million in cash and released to Cytogen 50,000 shares of Cytogen common stock held in escrow under the terms of the original license and marketing agreement.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

(c) Repurchases of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The following table provides information about purchases by us during the three months ended March 31, 2007 of our equity securities that are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.  Other than as set forth below, no purchases were made during the quarter by or on behalf of us by any person or entity acting, directly or indirectly, in concert with us for the purpose of acquiring our securities or by an affiliate of ours who, directly or indirectly, controls our purchases of such securities, whose purchases are controlled by us, or whose purchases are under common control with ours.

EX-10.1 2 a07-13356_1ex10d1.htm EX-10.1

 

Exhibit 10.1

ADVANCED MAGNETICS, INC.

2006 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Article 1 - Purpose.

This 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees of Advanced Magnetics, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and its participating subsidiaries (as defined in Article 17) so that they may share in the growth of the Company by acquiring or increasing their proprietary interest in the Company.  The Plan is designed to encourage eligible employees to remain in the employ of the Company and its participating subsidiaries.  The Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” as defined in Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Article 2 - Administration of the Plan.

The Board of Directors or any committee or person(s) to whom it delegates its authority (the “Administrator”) shall administer, interpret and apply all provisions of the Plan as it deems necessary, provided that any such rules and regulations shall be applied on a uniform basis to all employees under the Plan.  The Administrator may consult with counsel for the Company on any matter arising under the Plan.  All determinations and decisions of the Administrator shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.  No Administrator shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted under it.  Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to authorize the Administrator to alter or administer the provisions of the Plan in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of Section 423 of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

In the event the Board of Directors fails to appoint or refrains from appointing an Administrator, the Board of Directors shall have all power and authority to administer the Plan.  In such event, the word “Administrator” wherever used herein shall be deemed to mean the Board of Directors.

Article 3 - Eligible Employees.

All employees of the Company and each of its subsidiaries (as defined below) that is designated by the Board of Directors of the Company as a participant in the Plan (such participating subsidiary being hereinafter called a “participating subsidiary”) shall be eligible to receive options under the Plan to purchase common stock of the Company, and all eligible employees shall have the same rights and privileges hereunder.  Persons who are eligible employees on the first business day of any Payment Period (as defined in Article 5) shall receive their options as of such day.  Persons who become eligible employees after any date on which options are granted under the Plan shall be granted options on the first day of the next succeeding Payment Period on which options are granted to eligible employees under the Plan.  In no event, however, may an employee be granted an option if such employee, immediately after the option was granted, would be treated as owning stock possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation, as the terms “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation” are defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code.  For purposes of determining stock ownership under this paragraph,




 

the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply, and stock which the employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the employee.

Article 4 - Stock Subject to the Plan.

The stock subject to the options under the Plan shall be shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), or shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market.  The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 100,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 12.  If any option granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be available under the Plan.

Article 5 - Payment Period and Stock Options.

The first Payment Period during which payroll deductions will be accumulated under the Plan shall commence on June 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) and shall end on November 30, 2007.  For the remainder of the duration of the Plan, Payment Periods shall consist of the six-month periods commencing on June 1 and ending on the following November 30 and commencing on December 1 and ending on the following May 31.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the authority to establish different Payment Periods and exercise dates, to modify the amount of time between a Payment Period and an exercise date, to increase or decrease the number of Payment Periods in a year and to limit the number of shares that may be available in a Payment Period.

On the first business day of each Payment Period, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a participant in the Plan an option to purchase shares of Common Stock on the last day of such Payment Period, at the Option Price hereinafter provided, a maximum of 1,500 shares of Common Stock, on condition that such employee remains eligible to participate in the Plan throughout the remainder of such Payment Period.  The participant shall be entitled to exercise the option so granted only to the extent of the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the last day of such Payment Period. If the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the last day of the Payment Period would enable the participant to purchase more than 1,500 shares except for the 1,500-share limitation, the excess of the amount of the accumulated payroll deductions over the aggregate purchase price of the 1,500 shares shall be promptly refunded to the participant by the Company, without interest.  The Option Price per share for each Payment Period shall be the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the first business day of the Payment Period and (ii) 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time such Option is exercised pursuant to Article 6, in either event rounded to the nearest cent.  The foregoing limitation on the number of shares subject to option and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article 12.  The Administrator shall have the authority, solely with respect to a Payment Period that has not commenced, to reduce or eliminate the 15 percent discount provided in either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence.  The percentages selected for such clauses (i) and (ii) do not need to be identical (but shall in all cases be equal or higher to 85%).

For purposes of the Plan, the term “fair market value” on any date means (i) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market, if the Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange; or (iii) the average of the closing bid and asked prices last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not reported on the NASDAQ Global Market; or (iv) if the Common

2




 

Stock is not publicly traded, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by the Administrator after taking into consideration all factors which it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the Common Stock in private transactions negotiated at arm’s length.

For purposes of the Plan, the term “business day” means a day on which there is trading on the NASDAQ Global Market or the aforementioned national securities exchange, whichever is applicable pursuant to the preceding paragraph; and if neither is applicable, a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in Massachusetts.

No employee shall be granted an option which permits the employee’s right to purchase stock under the Plan, and under all other Section 423(b) employee stock purchase plans of the Company and any parent or subsidiary corporations, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time.  The purpose of the limitation in the preceding sentence is to comply with, and the accrual of rights to purchase Common Stock shall be determined in accordance with, Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.  If the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the last day of the Payment Period would otherwise enable the participant to purchase Common Stock in excess of the Section 423(b)(8) limitation described in this paragraph, the excess of the amount of the accumulated payroll deductions over the aggregate purchase price of the shares actually purchased shall be promptly refunded to the participant by the Company, without interest.

Article 6 - Exercise of Option.

Each eligible employee who continues to be a participant in the Plan on the last day of a Payment Period shall be deemed to have exercised his or her option on such date and shall be deemed to have purchased from the Company such number of full shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan as the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on such date will pay for at the Option Price, subject to the Section 423(b)(8) limitation described in Article 5.  If the individual is not a participant on the last day of a Payment Period, then he or she shall not be entitled to exercise his or her option.  Only full shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Plan.  Unused payroll deductions remaining in a participant’s account at the end of a Payment Period by reason of the inability to purchase a fractional share shall be carried forward to the next Payment Period.

Article 7 - Authorization for Entering the Plan.

An employee may elect to enter the Plan by filling out, signing and delivering to the Company an authorization:

A.            Stating the percentage to be deducted regularly from the employee’s pay;

B.            Authorizing the purchase of stock for the employee in each Payment Period in accordance with the terms of the Plan; and

C.            Specifying the exact name or names in which stock purchased for the employee is to be issued as provided under Article 11 hereof.

Such authorization must be received by the Company at least ten days before the first day of the next succeeding Payment Period and shall take effect only if the employee is an eligible employee on the first business day of such Payment Period.

3




 

Unless a participant files a new authorization or withdraws from the Plan, the deductions and purchases under the authorization the participant has on file under the Plan will continue from one Payment Period to succeeding Payment Periods as long as the Plan remains in effect.

The Company will accumulate and hold for each participant’s account the amounts deducted from his or her pay.  No interest will be paid on these amounts.

Article 8 - Maximum Amount of Payroll Deductions.

An employee may authorize payroll deductions in an amount (expressed as a whole percentage) not less than one percent (1%) or more than ten percent (10%) of the employee’s total compensation, including base pay or salary and any overtime, bonuses or commissions.

Article 9 - Change in Payroll Deductions.

Deductions may be increased or decreased during a Payment Period.  However, a change in payroll deductions shall be effective for any paycheck only if written notice is received by the Company at least ten business days prior to the payday for that paycheck.

Article 10 - Withdrawal from the Plan.

A participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time prior to the last day of a Payment Period by delivering a withdrawal notice to the Company.  Upon withdrawal by a participant, all amounts of the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions not previously used to purchase shares under the Plan shall be promptly refunded to the participant by the Company, without interest.

To re-enter the Plan, an employee who has previously withdrawn must file a new authorization at least ten days before the first day of the next Payment Period in which he or she wishes to participate.  The employee’s re-entry into the Plan becomes effective at the beginning of such Payment Period, provided that he or she is an eligible employee on the first business day of the Payment Period.

Article 11 - Issuance of Stock.

Certificates for stock issued to participants shall be delivered as soon as practicable after each Payment Period by the Company’s transfer agent.

Stock purchased under the Plan shall be issued only in the name of the participant, or if the participant’s authorization so specifies, in the name of the participant and another person of legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.

Article 12 - Adjustments.

Upon the happening of any of the following described events, a participant’s rights under options granted under the Plan shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided:

A.                 In the event that the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if, upon a reorganization, split-up, liquidation, recapitalization or the like of the Company, the shares of Common Stock shall be exchanged for other securities of the Company, each participant shall be entitled, subject to the conditions herein

4




 

stated, to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock or amount of other securities of the Company as were exchangeable for the number of shares of Common Stock that such participant would have been entitled to purchase except for such action, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or exchange; and

B.                  In the event the Company shall issue any of its shares as a stock dividend upon or with respect to the shares of stock of the class which shall at the time be subject to option hereunder, each participant upon exercising such an option shall be entitled to receive (for the purchase price paid upon such exercise) the shares as to which the participant is exercising his or her option and, in addition thereto (at no additional cost), such number of shares of the class or classes in which such stock dividend or dividends were declared or paid, and such amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, as is equal to the number of shares thereof and the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, respectively, which the participant would have received if the participant had been the holder of the shares as to which the participant is exercising his or her option at all times between the date of the granting of such option and the date of its exercise.

Upon the happening of any of the foregoing events, the class and aggregate number of shares set forth in Article 4 hereof which are subject to options which have been or may be granted under the Plan and the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Article 5 shall also be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events specified in paragraphs A and B above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to paragraphs A or B shall be made only after the Administrator, based on advice of counsel for the Company, determines whether such adjustments would constitute a “modification” (as that term is defined in Section 424(h)(3) of the Code).  If the Administrator determines that such adjustments would constitute a modification, it may refrain from making such adjustments.

If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise (an “Acquisition”), the Administrator or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”) shall, with respect to options then outstanding under the Plan, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such options by arranging for the substitution on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such options either (a) the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of the Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, (b) shares of stock of the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such corporation, or (c) such other securities as the Successor Board deems appropriate, the fair market value of which shall not materially exceed the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such options immediately preceding the Acquisition; or (ii) terminate each participant’s options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value on the date of the Acquisition, of the number of shares of Common Stock that the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions as of the date of the Acquisition could purchase, at an option price determined with reference only to the first business day of the applicable Payment Period and subject to the Code Section 423(b)(8) and fractional-share limitations on the amount of stock a participant would be entitled to purchase, over (b) the result of multiplying such number of shares by such option price.

The Administrator or Successor Board shall determine the adjustments to be made under this Article 12, and its determination shall be conclusive.

5




 

Article 13 - No Transfer or Assignment of Employee’s Rights.

An option granted under the Plan may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, except by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised only by the participant during the lifetime of the participant.

Article 14 - Termination of Employee’s Rights.

Whenever a participant ceases to be an eligible employee because of retirement, voluntary or involuntary termination, resignation, layoff, discharge, death or for any other reason, his or her rights under the Plan shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall promptly refund, without interest, the entire balance of his or her payroll deduction account under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, eligible employment shall be treated as continuing intact while a participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence, for up to 90 days, or for so long as the participant’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract, if longer than 90 days.

If a participant’s payroll deductions are interrupted by any legal process, a withdrawal notice will be considered as having been received from the participant on the day the interruption occurs.

Article 15 - Termination and Amendments to Plan.

Unless terminated sooner as provided below, the Plan shall terminate on May 31, 2012.  The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Company’s Board of Directors but such termination shall not affect options then outstanding under the Plan.  It will terminate in any case when all or substantially all of the unissued shares of stock reserved for the purposes of the Plan have been purchased.  If at any time shares of stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan remain available for purchase but not in sufficient number to satisfy all then unfilled purchase requirements, the available shares shall be apportioned among participants in proportion to the amount of payroll deductions accumulated on behalf of each participant that would otherwise be used to purchase stock, and the Plan shall terminate.  Upon such termination or any other termination of the Plan, all payroll deductions not used to purchase stock will be refunded, without interest.

The Administrator or the Board of Directors may from time to time adopt amendments to the Plan provided that, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, no amendment may (i) increase the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan; (ii) change the class of employees eligible to receive options under the Plan, if such action would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 423(b) of the Code; or (iii) cause Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to become inapplicable to the Plan.

Article 16 - Limits on Sale of Stock Purchased under the Plan.

The Plan is intended to provide shares of Common Stock for investment and not for resale.  The Company does not, however, intend to restrict or influence any employee in the conduct of his or her own affairs.  An employee may, therefore, sell stock purchased under the Plan at any time the employee chooses, subject to compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws, subject to the Company’s Insider Trading and Blackout Policies, and subject to the notice requirement in Article 20 and any restrictions imposed under Article 21 to ensure that tax withholding obligations are satisfied.  THE EMPLOYEE ASSUMES THE RISK OF ANY MARKET FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF THE STOCK.

6




 

Article 17 - Participating Subsidiaries.

The term “participating subsidiary” shall mean any present or future subsidiary of the Company, as that term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, which is designated from time to time by the Board of Directors to participate in the Plan.  The Board of Directors shall have the power to make such designation before or after the Plan is approved by the stockholders.

Article 18 - Optionees Not Stockholders.

Neither the granting of an option to an employee nor the deductions from his or her pay shall constitute such employee a stockholder of the shares covered by an option until such shares have been actually purchased by the employee.

Article 19 - Application of Funds.

The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to options granted under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.

Article 20 - Notice to Company of Disqualifying Disposition.

By electing to participate in the Plan, each participant agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after the participant transfers Common Stock acquired under the Plan, if such transfer occurs within two years after the first business day of the Payment Period in which such Common Stock was acquired.  Each participant further agrees to provide any information about such a transfer as may be requested by the Company or any subsidiary corporation in order to assist it in complying with the tax laws.  Such dispositions generally are treated as “disqualifying dispositions” and have certain tax consequences to participants and to the Company and its participating subsidiaries under Section 421 of the Code.

Article 21 - Withholding of Additional Income Taxes.

By electing to participate in the Plan, each participant acknowledges that the Company and its participating subsidiaries are required to withhold taxes with respect to the amounts deducted from the participant’s compensation and accumulated for the benefit of the participant under the Plan, and each participant agrees that the Company and its participating subsidiaries may deduct additional amounts from the participant’s compensation, when amounts are added to the participant’s account, used to purchase Common Stock or refunded, in order to satisfy such withholding obligations.  Each participant further acknowledges that when Common Stock is purchased under the Plan, the Company and its participating subsidiaries may be required to withhold taxes with respect to all or a portion of the difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock purchased and its purchase price, and each participant agrees that such taxes may be withheld from compensation otherwise payable to such participant.  It is intended that tax withholding will be accomplished in such a manner that the full amount of payroll deductions elected by the participant under Article 7 will be used to purchase Common Stock.  However, if amounts sufficient to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations have not been withheld from compensation otherwise payable to any participant, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company may withhold such taxes from the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions and apply the net amount to the purchase of Common Stock, unless the participant pays to the Company, prior to the exercise date, an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligations.  Each participant further acknowledges that the Company and its participating subsidiaries may be required to withhold taxes in connection with the disposition of stock acquired under the Plan and agrees that the Company or any participating subsidiary may take whatever action it considers appropriate to satisfy

7




 

such withholding requirements, including deducting from compensation otherwise payable to such participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements or conditioning any disposition of Common Stock by the participant upon the payment to the Company or such subsidiary of an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements.

Article 22 - Governmental Regulations.

The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver shares of Common Stock under the Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such shares.

Government regulations may impose reporting or other obligations on the Company with respect to the Plan.  For example, the Company may be required to identify shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan on its stock ownership records and send tax information statements to employees and former employees who transfer title to such shares.

Article 23 - Governing Law.

The validity and construction of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

Article 24 - Approval of Board of Directors and Stockholders of the Company.

                The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on November 7, 2006 and on such date the Board of Directors resolved that the Plan was to be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval at the next meeting of shareholders.  In the event the shareholders of the Company fail to approve the Plan within twelve months of the date the plan was adopted by the Board of Directors, the Plan shall terminate in accordance with Article 15 hereof.
