NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands of dollars, except per share data)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect 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.

     Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements.

2. REVENUES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

     Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased to $13.8 million, compared to $13.5 million for the first three quarters of 2002.

     Licence and research revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $10.5 million which included $4.3 million from GlaxoSmithKline, $2.8 million revenue from Servier, $0.8million from Brystol-Meyrs Squibb and $2.6 million from feasibility studies with other partners. License and research revenue for the first nine months of 2002 largely consisted of revenues from Servier ($7.8 million), Novo-Nordisk, Corning and various undisclosed partners.

     Other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 consisted of royalties from Corning.

     Other income included the sale of equipment from the Company’s pilot plant in Vénissieux, and $0.7 million in French government grants. Other income in 2002 included $2.3 million received in settlement of litigation with the Welcome Foundation regarding Flamel’s long acting acyclovir product Genvir.

     Revenues from product sales and services were $2.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2002, largely as a result of increased contract manufacturing.

     Total costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 amounted to $20.0 million, up from $12.7 million in the comparable 2002 period, largely as a result of increasing clinical and preclinical study work primarily related to projects developed internally and an increase of 20% in the value of the Euro against the U.S. dollar during the nine month period.

     Sales, General and Administrative costs increased to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $2.5 million in 2002, largely as a result of additional expenses related to the secondary offering completed in October 2003.

     Overall, the Company had a loss of $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to a gain of $3.3 million in the comparable period in 2002.

     As a result of fluctuations in the amount of quarterly revenues, which may arise from the signing of research collaborations, license agreements or other extraordinary transactions, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On September 30, 2003, the Company had $22.1 million in cash, compared to $14.6 million in cash at the end of the first nine months 2002.

 


 

     Net cash from operating activities amounted to a decline of $5.3 million for the first nine months of 2003, primarily due to the net loss for the period and prepaid expenses and other current assets.
