1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
THE COMPANY AND ITS SEVERAL DEVELOPMENT STAGE SUBSIDIARIES
Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in February
1992 in the State of Delaware. It is the holding company for several
development stage biotechnology companies ("the Operating Companies"). The
development stage companies, which rely significantly on third parties to
conduct sponsored research, are Ansan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Ansan"),
Ingenex, Inc. ("Ingenex"), Theracell, Inc. ("Theracell"), ProNeura, Inc.
("ProNeura"), and Trilex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly Ascalon, Inc.
("Trilex").
ANSAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
Ansan was incorporated in November 1992 to engage in the development of
novel analogs of butyric acid for the treatment of cancer and other
disorders. It was a majority-owned consolidated subsidiary until August
1995. In August 1995, Ansan completed an initial public offering of its
securities. Such offering reduced the Company's ownership in Ansan from
approximately 95% to approximately 44%. From August 1995, the Company has
accounted for its investment in Ansan using the equity method. Concurrent
with the Ansan public offering, Ansan granted the Company a one-year option
to purchase up to 400,000 shares of Ansan common stock with an exercise price
of $6.00 per share. In July 1996, Ansan extended the option through
September 8, 1996, in order to allow the Company and Ansan an opportunity to
renegotiate the terms of the option. The two companies continue to negotiate
and Titan may again hold a majority interest in Ansan.
INGENEX, INC.
Ingenex, a majority-owned consolidated subsidiary, was incorporated in
July 1991 and reincorporated in June 1992. It is engaged in the development
of gene-based therapeutics and the discovery of medically important genes for
the treatment of cancer and viral diseases. In June 1996, Ingenex issued
981,818 shares of common stock to the Company converting $5,400,000 of debt
to the Company to equity. At September 30, 1996, the Company owned 81% of
Ingenex.
THERACELL, INC.
Theracell was incorporated in November 1992 to engage in the development
of novel treatments for various neurologic disorders through the
transplantation of neural cells and neuron-like cells directly into the
brain. At September 30, 1996, the Company owned 100% of Theracell.
PRONEURA, INC.
ProNeura was incorporated in October 1995 to engage in the development
of cost effective, long term treatment solutions to neurological and
psychiatric disorders through an implantable drug delivery system. At
September 30, 1996, the Company owned 79% of ProNeura.
TRILEX PHARMACEUTICALS,, INC.
Trilex was incorporated in May 1996 to engage in research and
development of cancer therapeutic vaccines utilizing anti-idiotypic antibody
technology. At September 30, 1996, the Company owned 100% of Trilex.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and
6
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. These financials
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.
PER SHARE DATA
For purposes of computing net share data in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, the net loss has been increased by a $5,431,871 deemed
dividend (see Note 2). Except as noted below, per share data is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation as their effect is
antidilutive, except that, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletins, common and common equivalent shares
(stock options, warrants and preferred stock) issued during the period
commencing 12 months prior to the initial filing of an initial public
offering at prices below the assumed public offering price have been included
in the calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods presented
(using the treasury stock method for stock options and warrants and the
if-converted method for preferred stock).
Pro forma loss per share has been computed as described above and also
gives effect, pursuant to SEC policy, to common equivalent shares from
convertible preferred stock issued more than 12 months from the proposed
initial public offering that automatically converted upon completion of the
Company's initial public offering (using the if-converted method) from the
original date of issuance.
2. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
UNIT OFFERING
In January 1996, the Company issued 3,200,000 units at $5.00 per unit in
its initial public offering ("IPO"). Each unit consisted of one share of
common stock and one redeemable Class A warrant. The net proceeds (after
underwriter's discount and expenses, and other costs associated with the IPO)
totaled approximately $13,690,000. At the closing of the IPO, all of the
Company's outstanding preferred stock automatically converted into common
stock. Each share of Series A and Series B preferred stock was converted
into 1.4310444107 and 1.8993878755 shares of common stock, respectively.
In January 1996, the Company repaid $3,750,000 of principal and accrued
interest of $105,083 related to a bridge financing with a portion of the
proceeds of the IPO. The Company also repaid $1,500,000 of principal and
accrued interest of $87,898 related to notes issued by Ingenex in a private
placement.
In February 1996, the Company issued an additional 480,000 units, at
$5.00 per share, in accordance with the underwriter's over-allotment option.
The net proceeds of the underwriter's over-allotment option totaled
$2,160,000.
DEEMED DIVIDEND
The holders of Series A and Series B preferred stock received common
stock in January 1996 with an aggregate fair value (at the $5.00 per share
value of the IPO) which exceeded by $5,431,871 the cost of their initial
investment in Series A and Series B preferred stock. This amount has been
deemed to be the
7
equivalent of a preferred stock dividend. The Company recorded the deemed
dividend at the time of the conversion by offsetting charges and credits to
additional paid in capital, without any effect on total stockholders' equity
(net capital deficiency). There was no effect on net loss from the mandatory
conversion. However, the amount did increase the loss applicable to common
stock, in the calculation of net loss per share in the 1996 period.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT
On July 31, 1996 and August 2, 1996, the Company completed a private
placement of 1,536,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common
stock and one redeemable Class A warrant, for total gross proceeds of
$16,000,000. After deducting placement agent fees and other expenses of the
private placement, the net proceeds to the Company were approximately
$13,795,000.
3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 1996, the Company and the underwriters determined to postpone
the initial public offering of securities of Ingenex due to poor market
conditions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements,
within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the attainment of which involves various risks
and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use
of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "continue" or similar terms, variations of those
terms or the negative of those terms. The Company's actual results may
differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements
due to, among other factors, the results of ongoing research and development
activities and preclinical testing.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a development stage company which currently conducts its
operations through five operating companies: Ansan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
Ingenex, Inc., Theracell, Inc., ProNeura, Inc. and Trilex Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (collectively, the "Operating Companies"). Since its inception, the
Company's efforts have been principally devoted to acquiring licenses and
technologies, research and development, securing patent protection and
raising capital. The Company has had no significant revenue and has incurred
an accumulated deficit through September 30, 1996 of approximately
$40,132,000. These losses have resulted from expenditures for research and
development and general and administrative activities including legal and
professional activities, and are expected to continue for the foreseeable
future.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 ("1996
quarter") were approximately $83,000 and approximately $133,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 ("1996 nine months") from NIH grants. There
were approximately $90,000 in revenues for the three months ended September
30, 1995 ("1995 quarter") and approximately $100,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 ("1995 nine months").
Research and development expenses for the 1996 quarter were $1,674,000,
an increase of $736,000 or 79% from the 1995 quarter. The increase reflects
the addition of ProNeura, Inc. ("ProNeura") in the fourth quarter of 1995 and
Trilex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Trilex") in the second quarter of 1996. For
the 1996 nine months, research and development expenses were $4,024,000 as
compared to $4,402,000 for the 1995 nine months, a decrease of 9%. The
decrease reflects the deconsolidation of Ansan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
("Ansan") effective August 1995, the cessation of operations of Geneic
Sciences, Inc. ("Geneic") in September 1995 and the completion of certain
sponsored research for Ingenex, Inc. ("Ingenex') in 1995, offset by the
addition of ProNeura and Trilex.
General and administrative expenses for the 1996 quarter were
approximately $907,000 compared with $1,405,000 for the 1995 quarter, a
decrease of 35%. For the 1996 nine months, general and administrative
expenses were $2,883,000 as compared to $3,536,000 for the 1995 nine months,
a decrease of 18%. The decrease was due primarily to a planned resource
reallocation.
As a result of the foregoing expenses, the Company incurred an operating
loss of approximately $2,497,000 during the 1996 quarter compared with
$2,253,000 for the 1995 quarter. For the 1996 nine months, the operating
loss was approximately $6,773,000 compared with $7,838,000 for the 1995 nine
months. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial research and
development costs in the future as a result of funding (i) ongoing research
and development programs at the Operating Companies, (ii) manufacturing of
products for use in clinical trials, (iii) patent and regulatory related
expenses, and (iv) preclinical and clinical testing of the Operating
Companies' products. The Company also expects that general
9
and administrative costs necessary to support such research and development
activities will increase. The Company will also seek to identify new
technologies and/or product candidates for possible in-licensing or
acquisition. Accordingly, the Company expects to incur increasing operating
losses for the foreseeable future.
Other income includes interest income which was approximately $179,000
during the 1996 quarter as compared to $12,000 during the 1995 quarter. For
the 1996 nine months, interest income was $519,000 compared with $46,000 for
the 1995 nine months. This was a result of a substantial increase in the
amount of cash and short-term investments subsequent to the IPO. Interest
expense increased to approximately $1,943,000 during the 1996 nine months
from $827,000 for the 1995 nine months. Approximately $950,000 of the
increase for the 1996 period reflects a non-recurring charge due to the
repayment in January 1996 of notes issued in a bridge financing ("Bridge
Notes"). This non-recurring charge represents the unamortized portion of the
$1,200,000 debt discount and $458,000 of debt issuance costs relating to the
Bridge Notes. Interest expense for the 1996 quarter was approximately
$125,000 as compared to $501,000 for the 1995 quarter. Approximately
$350,000 of the expense for the 1995 quarter represents amortization of the
debt discount relating to certain warrants issued by Ingenex in May 1995 and
amortization of deferred financing costs.
Other income for the 1995 and 1996 nine months also includes
approximately $234,000 and $700,000, respectively, of losses representing the
Company's share of Ansan's losses. The Company's share of Ansan's losses was
approximately $234,000 and $344,000 for the 1995 and 1996 quarter,
respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
In January 1996, the Company completed the IPO which resulted in net
proceeds to the Company of approximately $8,622,000 after payment of
underwriting discounts, a non-accountable expense allowance to the
underwriter and other expenses of the offering and the repayment of the
Bridge Notes and notes issued by Ingenex. In February 1996, the underwriter
of the Company's IPO exercised its overallotment option, resulting in net
proceeds to the Company, after discounts and commissions to the underwriter,
of $2,160,000.
Upon completion of the IPO, the Company's previously outstanding shares
of preferred stock were converted automatically into shares of common stock
at adjusted conversion prices per common share less than the public offering
price per common share. The deemed benefit to the preferred stockholders
approximated $5,400,000 which deemed benefit was recorded by offsetting
charges and credits to additional paid-in capital at the time of conversion.
There will be no effect on net income (loss) per share from the mandatory
conversion. However, the amount would reduce the income allocable to common
stock, or increase the loss allocable to common stock, in the calculation of
net income (loss) per share in the period of the conversion.
On July 31 and August 2, 1996, the Company completed a private placement
of its securities which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $13,795,000 after payment of placement agent fees and other
expenses of the private placement.
The Company is party to a master capital equipment lease with respect to
which the Operating Companies have entered into a sublease and assignment
with the Company. At September 30, 1996, the amount outstanding under the
equipment lease was $807,211 with monthly payments of $30,459. The Company
has also guaranteed the obligations of Ingenex under an assignment and
sublicense agreement pursuant to which Ingenex received $2,000,000 in
financing in January 1995. Such agreement currently provides for monthly
10
payments of $60,060 through January 1999. At September 30, 1996, the amount
outstanding under the agreement was $1,419,594.
The Operating Companies have entered into various agreements with
research institutions, universities, and other entities for the performance
of research and development activities and for the acquisition of licenses
related to those activities. The aggregate commitments the Company has under
these agreements, including minimum license payments, for the next 12 months
is approximately $763,000. Certain of the licenses provide for the payment
of royalties by the Company on future product sales, if any. In addition, in
order to maintain license and other rights during product development, the
Company must comply with various conditions including the payment of patent
related costs and obtaining additional equity investments by specified dates.
The Company expects to continue to incur substantial additional
operating losses from costs related to continuation and expansion of research
and development, clinical trials, and increased administrative and fund
raising activities over at least the next several years. While the Company
believes that the proceeds of the IPO and the private placement will be
sufficient to sustain its planned operations for approximately 18 months, the
Company will be required to seek additional financing to continue its
activities beyond that period. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain additional funds, as and when needed.
