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 six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements.

2. REVENUES

2. License research and consulting agreements.

In accordance with the license agreement signed with Servier in December 2001, the Company recognized research and development revenues of approximately $0.23 million and licensing fees of approximately $0.67 million for the first six months of 2004.

In accordance with the license agreement signed with SB Pharma Puerto Rico Inc. in March 2003, the Company recognized research and development revenues of approximately $3.04 million and licensing fees of approximately $0.38 million for the first six months of 2004.

In accordance with the license agreement signed with Biovail in February 2003, the Company recognized research and development revenues of approximately $0.60 million and licensing fees of approximately $0.10 million for the first six months of 2004.

In accordance with the license agreement signed with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) in August 27, 2003, the Company recognized research and development revenues of approximately $5.6 million and licensing fees of approximately $8.5 million for the first six months of 2004. The licensing fees include a milestone payment of approximately $5.0 million related to results achieved in March 2004.

The Company recognized research and development revenues on feasibility studies with undisclosed partners for an amount of approximately $1.6 million for the first six months of 2004.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements. We may make additional written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time in filings with the SEC or otherwise. The words ‘believe,’ ‘expect,’ ‘anticipate,’ ‘project’ and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement is made. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, our business is subject to significant risks and there can be no assurance that actual results of our development and manufacturing activities and our results of operations will not differ materially from our expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others:

    our product candidates, if approved for marketing, may not produce significant revenues and we rely on our partners to determine the regulatory and marketing strategies;

See notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

7


Table of Contents

 
    our product candidates, in commercial use, may have unintended side effects, adverse reactions or incidents of misuse;
 
    we may enter into a collaboration with a third party to market or fund a proprietary product candidate and the terms of such a collaboration may not meet our expectations;
 
    our delivery technologies or product development efforts may not produce safe, effective or commercially viable products;
 
    our collaborators could elect to terminate or delay programs at any time and disputes with collaborators or failure to negotiate acceptable new collaborative arrangements for our technologies could occur;
 
    we may be unable to manufacture or, if our products are successful, scale-up the manufacturing of our products economically or on a commercial scale;
 
    unexpected events could interrupt manufacturing operations at our facilities, which could be the sole source of supply for these products;
 
    after the completion of clinical trials of products incorporating our technologies and the submission to the FDA of a New Drug Application, or NDA, for marketing approval and to other health authorities as a marketing authorization application, the FDA or other health authorities could refuse to accept such filings or could request additional pre-clinical or clinical studies be conducted, each of which could result in significant delays, or such authorities could refuse to approve the product at all;
 
    our product candidates could be ineffective or unsafe during pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and we and our collaborators may not be permitted by regulatory authorities to undertake new or additional clinical trials for product candidates incorporating our technologies, or clinical trials could be delayed;
 
    we may experience significant delays in clinical trials on our products;
 
    we may not realize any revenue from milestone or royalty payments under our license agreements with our partners, including Bristol-Myers;
 
    even if our product candidates appear promising at an early stage of development, product candidates could fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals, be difficult to manufacture on a large scale, be uneconomical, fail to achieve market acceptance, be precluded from commercialization by proprietary rights of third parties or experience substantial competition in the marketplace;
 
    technological changes in the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries could render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive;
 
    we may face difficulties or set-backs in obtaining and enforcing our patents or defending claims of patent infringement by others; and
 
    we may need to raise substantial additional funding to continue research and development programs and clinical trials and could incur difficulties or setbacks in raising such funds.

Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements. Statements in this report on Form 6-K and in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 including those set forth in ‘Risk Factors’ in that report, describe factors, among others, that could contribute to or cause such differences.

Results of Operations

Revenues for the first six months ended June 30, 2004 increased to $23.3 million, compared to $8.5 million for the first six months of 2003.

License and research revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $20.8 million, which includes $14.2 million from Bristol-Myers Squibb, $3.4 million from GlaxoSmithKline, $0.9 million from Servier, $0.7 revenue from Biovail and $1.7 million from feasibility studies with other partners.

License and research revenue for the first six months of 2003 largely consisted of revenues from GlaxoSmithKline ($3 million), Servier ($2 million), Corning and undisclosed partners.

Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted of royalties from Corning.

No significant other income has been recorded in the first six months of 2004.

Other income in 2003 included the sale of equipment from the Company’s pilot plant in Vénissieux, and $0.7 million in French government grants.

Revenues from product sales and services were $2.1 million in the first six months of 2004, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2003, reflecting concentration of the production on the first eight months of 2004. Starting with the third quarter 2004, the Company plans to transition away from contract manufacturing activities.

Total operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $21.6 million, up from $12.7 million in the comparable 2003 period. This is largely the result of increasing clinical and preclinical study work, primarily related to projects developed internally and also with our partners, as well as the increase of 10% in the value of the Euro against the U.S. dollar as compared to the same period in 2003.

Overall, the Company recorded a profit of $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a loss of $(3.3) million in the comparable period in 2003.

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 June 30, 2004 the Company had $100.9 million in cash, compared to $11.6 million in cash at the end of the first six months 2003.
