FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. The words may, anticipate, believe, expect, estimate,
project, suggest, intend and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, expected,
estimated, projected, suggested or intended. These risks and uncertainties include risks
associated with the early stage of development of Proellex and Androxal and uncertainty related
to the Companys ability to obtain approval of the Companys products by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) and regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions, the Companys ability to raise
additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, uncertainty relating to the Companys patent
portfolio, and other risks and uncertainties described in the Companys filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. For additional discussion of such risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
see Item 1. Business and Item 1A. Risk Factors included in the Companys annual report on Form
10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2006 and Part I. Financial Information Item 2. Managements

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
The following unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented have been
included. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does
not include all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2007.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2006.

REPROS THERAPEUTICS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 Organization, Operations and Liquidity
Repros Therapeutics Inc., (the Company, Repros, RPRX, we, us or our), was
organized on August 28, 1987. We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the
development of small molecule therapeutics for reproductive system
disorders that have
significant market potential and are currently underserved. We are developing our lead product
Proellex®, which is a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor, for the treatment of uterine
fibroids and endometriosis and intend to expand our product development indications with Proellex
by pursuing an indication as a short course treatment of anemia due to excessive menstrual
bleeding associated with uterine fibroids. We intend to develop Androxal, for the treatment of fertility preservation and
improvement in patients that want to preserve their fertility while being treated for low
testosterone associated with secondary hypogonadism. In addition, we also intend to develop
Androxal for the treatment of men with idiopathic adult onset
hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (AIHH) associated with
glycemic and lipid dysregulation.
On February 5, 2007 the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 2,610,000 shares of
common stock at $13.75 per share. The net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this
offering were approximately $33.1 million.
We have experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and have funded our
activities to date primarily from equity financings and corporate collaborations. We will continue
to require substantial funds for research and development, including preclinical studies and
clinical trials of our product candidates, and to commence sales and marketing efforts if
appropriate, if the FDA or other regulatory approvals are obtained. We believe that our existing
capital resources under our current operating plan will be sufficient to fund our operations
through at least June 30, 2008. There can be no assurance that changes in our current strategic
plans or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.
Our results of operations may vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter, and
depend, among other factors, on our ability to be successful in our clinical trials, the regulatory
approval process in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions and the ability to complete
new licenses and product development agreements. The timing of our revenues may not match the
timing of our associated product development expenses. To date, research and development expenses
have generally exceeded revenue in any particular period and/or fiscal year.
As of September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $118.7 million. Losses have
resulted principally from costs incurred in conducting clinical trials and in research and
development activities related to efforts to develop our products and from the associated
administrative costs required to support those efforts. Due to various tax regulations,
including
9
change in control provisions in the tax code, the value of the tax asset created by these
accumulated losses can be substantially diminished. We have recorded a full valuation allowance
for all deferred tax assets.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not determined yet the impact
that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements.
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. This pronouncement
permits entities to use the fair value method to measure certain financial assets and liabilities
by electing an irrevocable option to use the fair value method at specified election dates. After
election of the option, subsequent changes in fair value would result in the recognition of
unrealized gains or losses as period costs during the period the change occurred. SFAS No. 159
becomes effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007,
with early adoption permitted. However, entities may not retroactively apply the provisions of
SFAS No. 159 to fiscal years preceding the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the
impact that SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial statements.
NOTE 2 Marketable Securities
Management determines the appropriate classification of investments in debt and equity
securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each subsequent balance
sheet date. Securities for which the Company has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are
classified as held to maturity. Securities classified as trading securities are recorded at
fair value. Gains and losses on trading securities, realized and unrealized, are included in
earnings and are calculated using the specific identification method. Any other securities are
classified as available for sale. At September 30, 2007, all securities were classified as
trading securities. The fair value and cost basis including purchased premium for these securities
was $25.9 million and $5.6 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The
Companys investments typically include corporate bonds and notes, Euro-dollar bonds, taxable
auction securities and asset-backed securities. The Companys policy is to require minimum
credit ratings of A2/A and A1/P1 with maturities of up to three years. The average life of
10
the investment portfolio may not exceed 24 months. As of September 30, 2007 our investments have a
monthly staggered maturity that does not exceed August 4, 2008.

NOTE 5 Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed using the average
share price for the period and applying the treasury stock method to potentially dilutive
outstanding options. In all applicable periods, all potential common stock equivalents were
antidilutive and, accordingly, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Such statements reflect the Companys current views with respect to future events and
financial performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one

incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking
statements. The following discussion of financial condition should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Overview
Repros Therapeutics Inc., (the Company, Repros, RPRX, we, us or our), was
organized on August 28, 1987. We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the
development of small molecule therapeutics for reproductive system disorders that have significant
market potential and are currently underserved. We are developing our lead product Proellex®,
which is a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor, for the treatment of uterine fibroids
and endometriosis and intend to expand our product development indications with Proellex by
pursuing an indication as a short course treatment of anemia due to
excessive menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.
We intend to develop Androxal, for the treatment of fertility preservation and improvement in
patients that want to preserve their fertility while being treated for low testosterone associated
with secondary hypogonadism. In addition, we also intend to develop Androxal for the treatment of
men with idiopathic adult onset hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
(AIHH) associated with glycemic and lipid dysregulation.
Proellex
Our lead product candidate, Proellex, is an orally active small molecule which we have been
developing for two indications: the oral treatment of uterine fibroids and the oral treatment of
endometriosis. Repros intends to expand its development activities relating to Proellex by also
developing it as an oral treatment for anemia due to excessive menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.
The National Uterine Fibroid Foundation estimates that as many as 80% of all women in the
United States have uterine fibroids, and one in four of these women have symptoms severe enough to
require treatment. According to The Endometriosis Association, endometriosis affects 5.5 million
women in the United States and Canada and millions more worldwide.
Repros has a scheduled end of Phase 2 Type B meeting with the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) on November 30, 2007 to discuss the future clinical development pathway of Proellex for the
treatment of uterine fibroids. During that meeting Repros intends to propose the initiation of
clinical trials for a new indication as a short course treatment of anemia due to excessive
menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids. There can be no assurance that the FDA will accept this proposal. If the FDA
accepts such proposal during the November 30, 2007 meeting, Repros anticipates initiating a U.S.
Phase 3 clinical trial with Proellex for the treatment of both uterine fibroids and anemia during
the first half of 2008. Repros initiated a U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial with
Proellex for the treatment of endometriosis during the third quarter of 2007 and continues to
13
conduct a one-year open label safety study for the treatment of uterine fibroids which currently
consists of 33 patients. We anticipate providing interim data from this open label study during
the first quarter of 2008.
If the proposed clinical trials are successful, we intend to submit a New Drug Application
(NDA) for Proellex relating to the treatment of anemia
due to excessive menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids at
year-end 2008 and intend to submit a NDA with Proellex for the treatment of uterine fibroids during
the second half of 2009. We also intend to submit a NDA for Proellex for the treatment of
endometriosis by year-end 2009.
In April 2007, we provided top-line data from our three-month U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial of
Proellex in uterine fibroid patients which showed a statistically significant improvement in our
primary endpoint. In June 2007, we provided top-line data from our six-month European Phase 1/2
study which indicated that Proellex demonstrated superior efficacy when compared to the
pharmaceutical standard of care in the treatment of endometriosis. In July 2007 we provided
endometrial biopsy findings from our U.S. three-month and European six-month studies of Proellex
in the treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis, respectively, indicating that the effects
on the endometrium were benign. These clinical trials demonstrated statistically significant
efficacy in the treatment of both conditions along with a reduction of pain associated with
endometriosis and a reduction of bleeding in uterine fibroids patients.
Androxal
Our second product candidate, Androxal, is an orally active proprietary small molecule
compound which we intend to develop as a treatment for the improvement or maintenance of fertility
and sperm status in hypogonadal men of reproductive age who are interested in maintaining their
fertility while being treated
for low testosterone associated with secondary hypogonadism.
We also intend to develop Androxal for the treatment of blood glucose
and lipid elevations associated with AIHH. Previously the Company was developing Androxal in the United
States to treat testosterone deficiency due to secondary hypogonadism by restoring normal
testosterone production in males with functional testes and diminished pituitary function, a common
condition in the aging male. The Company believes that Androxal can continue to be developed
outside of the United States for the treatment of testosterone deficiency due to secondary
hypogonadism.
Repros met with the FDA on October 15, 2007 in a Type C meeting to discuss the future
development of Androxal. Subject to the receipt of final minutes from the FDA October 15, 2007
meeting the Company believes that the outcome of that meeting is that
the FDA is willing to consider a
proposal to develop Androxal as a treatment for the improvement or maintenance of fertility and
sperm status in hypogonadal men of reproductive age that want to
preserve their fertility while being treated for low testosterone
associated with secondary hypogonadism as well as for the treatment of
AIHH associated with glycemic and lipid dysregulation. Contrary to the Companys prior approach, the
FDA considers a patients testosterone level as an insufficient primary endpoint for an Androxal
pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial. Furthermore, the FDA will not permit the Company to use quality
of life (QOL) scales (such as the DeRogatis Interview for Sexual Functioning scale and the Male
Sexual Dysfunction Survey scale, two scales the Company previously used in its clinical trials) to
be used as a primary endpoint as the Company previously intended. In addition, the FDA considers
the avoidance of side effects due to testosterone replacement therapy as an
unacceptable basis for approval of Androxal.
14
The Company intends to submit two white papers to the FDA. One white paper will be submitted
for the commencement of a Phase 2b study in an academic setting to elucidate Androxals effect on
fertility. The second white paper will be for the commencement of a Phase 2b study in an academic
setting to elucidate Androxals effect on metabolic
dysregulation of blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides in men
with AIHH and for the FDA to consider whether
the current Investigational New Drug Application (IND) should be moved to the FDAs endocrine
division. Both proposed Phase 2b studies are expected to be small studies that are anticipated to
begin during the first half of 2008 and are anticipated to last approximately 12 months.
Subsequent to the completion and success of each of the proposed Phase 2b clinical trials the
Company intends to submit a protocol to begin a pivotal Phase 3 trial for both of these
indications. Data relating to the findings of Androxals
beneficial effect on fertility and as a treatment
for AIHH associated with glycemic and lipid dysregulation was discovered after a prospective review of our
clinical data. There can be no assurance that clinical trials performed for these two new
indications will be successful.
In June 2007 we provided top-line results from our six-month U.S. non-pivotal Phase 3 study of
Androxal. This trial demonstrated statistically significant increases in testosterone levels
versus placebo, without suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH) and non-inferiority on all
measured outcomes to Androgel. We are currently conducting a U.S. one-year open label safety trial
for patients that completed the Androxal U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial. Currently, there are 79
patients enrolled in this clinical trial.

The information in the column labeled Estimate of Completion of Current Phase and Future
Clinical Development contains forward-looking statements regarding timing of completion of
product development phases. The successful development of our product candidates is highly
uncertain. Estimated completion dates and expenses can vary significantly for each product
candidate and are difficult to predict. The actual timing of completion of those phases could
differ materially from the estimates provided in the table. We currently have no
collaborators on the development of any of our product candidates. |
All clinical trial results, including those related to Proellex and Androxal, are subject to
review by the FDA, and the FDA may disagree with our conclusions about safety and efficacy. We
caution that results obtained in early stage clinical trials may be reversed by the results of
later stage clinical trials with significantly larger and more diverse patient populations treated
for longer periods of time.
We intend to seek strategic non-U.S. out-licensing or other corporate partnering opportunities
with respect to Androxal to permit us to offset expenses associated with our clinical trial
programs. In addition, we also are continuing to seek strategic out-licensing opportunities with
respect to our phentolamine-based products for the treatment of sexual dysfunction.
Our Androxal product candidate and its uses are covered in the United States by eight pending
patent applications and one issued U.S. patent. Foreign coverage of our Androxal product candidate
includes seven issued foreign patents and 55 foreign pending patent applications and one PCT
application. The issued patents and pending applications relate to methods and compositions for
treating certain conditions including the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men, the
treatment of men with idiopathic adult onset hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism (AIHH) associated with glycemic and lipid
dysregulation and the treatment of
infertility in hypogonadal men. Androxal (the trans isomer of clomiphene) is purified from
clomiphene citrate. A third party individual holds two issued patents related to the use of an
anti-estrogen such as clomiphene citrate and others for use in the treatment of androgen deficiency
and disorders related thereto. In our prior filings with the SEC, we have described our request to
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, for re-examination of one of these patents based on
prior art. The third party amended the claims in the re-examination proceedings, which led the PTO
to determine that the amended claims are patentable in view of those publications under
consideration and a re-examination certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended
claims are invalid based on additional prior art publications, and our request for re-examination
by the PTO in light of a number of these additional publications and other publications cited by
the PTO, has been granted. In June, 2007, the PTO issued a final Office action in the
re-examination, rejecting all of the claims. The patent holder has responded to the final
rejections and has filed a notice of appeal. We also believe that the second of these two patents
is invalid in view of published prior art not considered by the PTO. Nevertheless, there is no
assurance that either patent will ultimately be found invalid over the prior art. If such patents
are not invalidated by the PTO we may be required to obtain a license from the holder of such
patents in order to develop Androxal further or attempts may be made to undertake further legal
action to invalidate such patents. If such licenses were not available on acceptable terms or at
all, we may not be able to successfully commercialize Androxal.
We have not generated any substantial revenue from the commercial sale of any of our current
product candidates. We will not receive any revenue from commercial sales unless we complete the
clinical trial process, obtain regulatory approval, and successfully commercialize one
18
or more of our product candidates. We cannot be certain when or if any net cash inflow from
any of our current product candidates will commence.
We have experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and have funded our
activities to date primarily from equity financings and corporate collaborations. We believe that
our existing capital resources under our current operating plan will be sufficient to fund our
operations through at least June 30, 2008. There can be no assurance that changes in our current
strategic plans or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.
We will need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities and/or through
partnerships to continue the clinical development of our products. If we are not able to raise
capital through the sale of equity securities, or cannot locate an alternative source of financing,
the outcome would have a material adverse effect on us and the clinical development timeline of our
product candidates. If we are not able to raise adequate capital for our clinical development
plans, then we will have to adjust our plans, which will delay the approval process of our product
candidates.
Our results of operations may vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter, and
depend, among other factors, on our ability to be successful in our clinical trials, the regulatory
approval process in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions and the ability to complete
new licenses and product development agreements. The timing of our revenues may not match the
timing of our associated product development expenses. To date, research and development expenses
have generally exceeded revenue in any particular period and/or fiscal year.
On February 5, 2007, we completed a follow-on public offering of 2,610,000 shares of our
common stock at a purchase price of $13.75 per share. As a result of the offering, we received
approximately $33.1 million in net proceeds which we intend to use to continue our clinical
development of Proellex and Androxal.
Effective January 8, 2007, we voluntarily withdrew the listing of our common stock from NYSE
Arca, Inc., formerly the Pacific Exchange, in order to streamline administrative requirements and
reduce expenses.
Employees and Consultants
We currently have seven full-time employees and utilize the services of contract research
organizations, contract manufacturers and various consultants to assist us in performing
regulatory, clinical development and manufacturing activities related to the clinical development
of our products. We are highly dependent on our various contract organizations to adequately
perform the activities required to obtain regulatory approval of our products and to complete
development and manufacturing thereof.
Research and Development
The clinical development of pharmaceutical products is a complex undertaking, and many
products that begin the clinical development process do not obtain regulatory approval. The costs
19
associated with our clinical trials may be impacted by a number of internal and external
factors, including the number and complexity of clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory
approval, the number of eligible patients necessary to complete our clinical trials and any
difficulty in enrolling these patients, and the length of time to complete our clinical trials.
Given the uncertainty of these potential costs, we are unable to estimate the total costs we will
incur for the clinical development of our product candidates over those costs currently projected.
We do, however, expect these costs to increase substantially in future periods as we continue
later-stage clinical trials, initiate new clinical trials for additional indications and seek to
obtain regulatory approvals. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory
approvals could cause our research and development expenditures to increase and, in turn, have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We have limited financial resources and personnel and anticipate that we will need to raise
additional capital and hire additional key employees in order to be able to successfully develop
each of our current product candidates through clinical trials and to be able to market them,
should regulatory approval be obtained, on a worldwide basis. Alternatively, we may elect to
partner with a larger and more experienced pharmaceutical company with better resources for one or
more of our product candidates and/or target indications. As a result, we believe that an
out-license of one or more of our product candidates could occur at some point in the future, and
discussions are held from time to time with potential partners to explore possible arrangements;
however, there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be entered into by us.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not determined yet the impact
that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements.
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. This pronouncement
permits entities to use the fair value method to measure certain financial assets and liabilities
by electing an irrevocable option to use the fair value method at specified election dates. After
election of the option, subsequent changes in fair value would result in the recognition of
unrealized gains or losses as period costs during the period the change occurred. SFAS No. 159
becomes effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007,
with early adoption permitted. However, entities may not retroactively apply the provisions of
SFAS No. 159 to fiscal years preceding the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the
impact that SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial statements.

Results of Operations
Three-Month and Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, and
depend on, among other factors, our ability to be successful in our clinical trials, the regulatory
approval process in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions and the ability to complete
new licenses and product development agreements. The timing of our revenues may not match the
timing of our associated product development expenses. To date, research and development expenses
have generally exceeded revenue in each particular period and/or fiscal year.
Revenues and other income. Total revenues and other income for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2007 increased to $396,000 as compared to $146,000 for the same period in the prior
year and increased to $1.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared
to $486,000 for the same period in the prior year.
Interest income increased 171% to $396,000 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2007, as compared to $146,000 for the same period in the prior year and increased 138% to $1.2
million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $486,000 for the same
period in the prior year. The increase in interest income for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily due
to an increase in marketable securities as a result of the completion of the Companys follow-on
public offering on February 5, 2007 in which we received approximately $33.1 million in net
proceeds.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development (R&D) expenses primarily
include clinical regulatory affairs activities and preclinical and clinical study development
expenses. R&D expenses increased 4% to approximately $3.2 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2007 as compared to $3.1 million for the same period in the prior year and increased
30% to approximately $9.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to
$7.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Although the R&D expenses for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2007 remained relatively constant as compared to the same period in the
prior year, the Company had a decrease in our current clinical and preclinical activities of
$206,000, partially offset by an increase in manufacturing activities of $135,000, an increase in
personnel costs of $85,000 and an increase in consulting services of $58,000. The increase in R&D
expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the
prior year is primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in our current clinical and preclinical
activities, an increase in personnel costs of $241,000, an increase in consulting of $179,000, an
increase in non-cash stock compensation expense of $94,000 and an increase in legal expenses of
$56,000 related to our patent portfolio.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 20% to
$568,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $713,000 for the same
period in the prior year and increased 6% to approximately $2.1 million for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in the prior
21
year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to a decrease
in professional services costs of $123,000, a decrease in non-cash stock compensation expense of
$39,000 and a decrease of $27,000 in costs associated with meeting the requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, partially offset by an increase in strategic administrative fees of
$23,000. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to an increase
in personnel costs of $91,000, an increase in strategic administrative fees of $73,000, partially
offset by a decrease in professional services of $91,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $28.8 million at
September 30, 2007 as compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2006. This increase in cash is
primarily due to the completion of our follow-on public offering of 2,610,000 shares on February 5,
2007 in which we received approximately $33.1 million in net proceeds. On September 5, 2006 we
filed a Form S-3 shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for up to
5,000,000 shares of common stock of which we have utilized 2,610,000 leaving us with 2,390,000
available shares.
Depending upon the timing of certain clinical activities, we believe our cash resources will
be sufficient to fund operations through at least June 30, 2008. We will need to raise additional
capital through the sale of equity securities and/or through partnerships to continue the clinical
development of our products. If we are not able to raise capital through the sale of equity
securities, or cannot locate an alternative source of financing, the outcome would have a material
adverse effect on us and the clinical development timelines of our product candidates. If we are
not able to raise adequate capital for our clinical development plans, then we will have to reduce
capital expenditures, which will delay the development and approval process of our product
candidates. We cannot assure that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at
all.
There can be no assurance that changes in our current strategic plans or other events will not
result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures. We expect clinical and preclinical development
expenses to increase substantially in future periods as we continue later-stage clinical trials,
initiate new clinical trials for additional indications, seek to obtain regulatory approvals and
conduct long-term animal safety studies.
As of September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $118.7 million. We have incurred
losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
Inception to date losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in conducting clinical
trials and for research and development activities related to efforts to develop our products and
from the associated administrative costs required to support those efforts. We have financed our
operations primarily with proceeds from public offerings and private placements of equity
securities, funds received under collaborative agreements and Small Business Innovative Research
(SBIR) grants. We are actively developing Proellex for the treatment of uterine fibroids and
endometriosis and we intend to expand our product development indications with Proellex by pursuing
an indication as a short course treatment of anemia due to excessive
22
menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids. We intend to develop Androxal for the treatment of fertility preservation
and improvement in patients that want to preserve their fertility while being treated for low
testosterone associated with secondary hypogonadism. In addition, we also intend to develop
Androxal for the treatment of men with idiopathic adult onset
hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (AIHH) and concomitant
glycemic and lipid dysregulation. We believe we have enough funds to continue such
development through at least June 30, 2008. We will need substantial additional capital in order
to continue such development beyond such date.
Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the costs and timing of
seeking regulatory approvals of our products; the problems, delays, expenses and complications
frequently encountered by development stage companies; the progress of our preclinical and clinical
activities; the costs associated with any future collaborative research, manufacturing, marketing
or funding arrangements; our ability to obtain regulatory approvals; the success of our potential
future sales and marketing programs; the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any
patent claims and other intellectual property rights; changes in economic, regulatory or
competitive conditions of our planned business; and additional costs associated with being a
publicly-traded company. Estimates about the adequacy of funding for our activities are based on
certain assumptions, including the assumption that the development and regulatory approval of our
products can be completed at projected costs and that product approvals and introductions will be
timely and successful. There can be no assurance that changes in our research and development
plans, acquisitions or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures. To
satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to raise additional funds in the public or private
capital markets. We also may seek additional funding through corporate collaborations and other
financing vehicles. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on
favorable terms or at all. If we are successful in obtaining additional financing, the terms of
such financing may have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of
the holders of our common stock.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were approximately $28.8
million at September 30, 2007. These assets were primarily invested in investment grade corporate
bonds and commercial paper with maturities less than twelve months. We do not invest in derivative
securities. Our portfolio is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and market conditions.
Although we have not experienced any significant fluctuations in the fair values of our marketable
securities, there can be no assurance we would not experience a material decrease in interest
income due to changes in interest rates or a material change in fair value in the event of a change
in interest rates and/or an adverse change in the credit quality of an issuer of securities that we
hold.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), are effective.
23
In connection with the evaluation described above, we identified no change in internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk
factors and information disclosed in the registrants Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2006 in response to Item 1A. Risk Factors to Part I of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006.
Delays in the commencement of preclinical studies and clinical trials testing of our current
and potential product candidates could result in increased costs to us and delay our ability to
generate revenues.
Our product candidates will require continued preclinical studies and extensive clinical
trials prior to the submission of a regulatory application for commercial sales. We intend to
initiate Phase 3 trials for Proellex for the treatment of both uterine fibroids and endometriosis
and as a short course treatment of anemia due to excessive menstrual
bleeding associated with uterine fibroids, an indication for which we have
not yet conducted any studies. In addition, we intend to initiate pivotal Phase 3 trials for
Androxal for men with AIHH associated with glycemic and lipid dysregulation and fertility, two indications for which we have not yet conducted
studies. The initiation of all of these studies are subject to a November meeting with the FDA, in
the case of Proellex, and acceptance by the FDA of our position in two separate white papers that
have not yet been submitted, in the case of Androxal. We have limited experience conducting
clinical trials for these product candidates. Because of this limited experience and the fact that
we are still awaiting approval by the FDA of our approaches, we do not know whether any of these
future planned clinical trials will begin on time, if at all. Delays in the commencement of
preclinical studies and clinical trials could significantly increase our product development costs
and delay any product commercialization. In addition, many of the factors that may cause, or lead
to, a delay in the commencement of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to denial of regulatory
approval of a product candidate.
The commencement of clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays
in:
|
|
|
demonstrating sufficient safety and efficacy in past clinical trials to obtain
regulatory approval to commence a further clinical trial; |
|
|
|
|
reaching agreements on acceptable terms with prospective contract manufacturers for
manufacturing sufficient quantities of a product candidate; and |
|
|
|
|
obtaining institutional review board approval to conduct a clinical trial at a
prospective site. |
In addition, the commencement of clinical trials may be delayed due to insufficient patient
enrollment, which is a function of many factors, including the size of the patient population,
the nature of the protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the availability of
effective treatments for the relevant disease, and the eligibility criteria for the clinical trial.
