Use of Proceeds from Sale of Registered Securities

On April 19, 2004, we completed an initial public offering of 4,500,000 shares of our common stock. The shares of common stock sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-112676) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2004. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses, we received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $49.0 million. Between the effective date of the Registration Statement and December 31, 2006, approximately $39.6 million of the net proceeds was used for research and development activities and approximately $9.4 million was used for general and administrative activities. The remaining proceeds from the offering have been invested in marketable securities for future use as needed.

The December 2006 and March 2007 financings are exempt from registration pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(2) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The securities sold and issued in connection with the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. As part of the transaction, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of registering the resale of certain of the common stock issued in these transactions within two business days following the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Market Performance Graph

The rules of the SEC require that the Company include in a line-graph presentation comparing cumulative stockholder returns on the Company’s common stock with the NASDAQ Composite Index (which tracks the aggregate price performance of equity securities of companies traded on NASDAQ) and either a published industry or line-of-business standard index or an index of peer companies selected by the Company. The Company has elected to use the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (consisting of a group of approximately 130 companies in the biotechnology sector, including the Company) for purposes of the performance comparison that appears below.

The graph shows the cumulative total stockholder return assuming the investment of $100.00 and the reinvestment of dividends and is based on the returns of the component companies weighted according to their market capitalizations as of the end of the period for which returns are indicated. No dividends have been declared on the Company’s common stock.
