Reports $1.4 mil tot rev and $-0.55 EPS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998 Revenues increased approximately 25% from approximately $1,155,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 ("1998 Three Months") to approximately $1,444,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 ("1999 Three Months"). This increase is due to an increase in grant revenue earned under a Small Business Innovative Research program from the National Institutes of Health awarded to the Company in May 1997 and royalty income from Celgene Corporation on the sale of thalidomide. The collaborative research and development fees relate to the amortization over five years of a one-time payment from BMS, of $2,500,000 received in December 1995 and the amortization of semi-annual payments of $1,835,000 under the BMS collaboration agreement. The license fee represents the amortization over five years of a one-time $1,000,000 license fee received in December 1995 under the BMS collaboration agreement. Research and development expenses increased by approximately 103% from approximately $3,500,000 in the 1998 Three Months to approximately $7,107,000 in the 1999 Three Months. Research and development expenditures include sponsored research payments to academic collaborators, including a $1,000,000 payment to Children's Hospital in both 1999 and 1998 Three Months and expenses related to the Company's internal research programs. The increase in research and development costs reflects increased efforts in the Company's internal and sponsored research and product development programs related to its antiangiogenesis technologies. Overall, research personnel increased from 40 as of March 31, 1998 to 45 as of March 31, 1999. Research and development expenses are expected to continue to increase as the Company continues to expand its research and development efforts. General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $1,306,000 in the 1998 Three Months to approximately $1,896,000 in the 1999 Three Months, a 45% increase. The 1999 Three Months increase resulted primarily from the increase in administrative costs associated with adding administrative staff to support the research scientists and collaborative efforts the Company is conducting, investigating potential strategic relationships, and obtaining professional services. Investment income decreased approximately 24% from approximately $538,000 in the 1998 Three Months to approximately $410,000 in the 1999 Three Months. This decrease in investment income is due to the reduction of the Company's cash and short term investments as such working capital components are used to fund the Company's operations.
