2002 OCT 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- NeoPharm, Inc., (NEOL) announced financial results for the second quarter of 2002. The company reported a net loss of $9,019,674 or $0.55 per share, basic and diluted, for the second quarter 2002 versus a net loss of $2,506,542 or $0.16 per share, basic and diluted, during the second quarter of 2001.
For the first half of 2002, the company reported a net loss of $14,823,637, or $0.91 per share basic and diluted, compared with first half 2001 net loss of $3,090,369, or $0.19 per share basic and diluted. Total cash and marketable securities on hand at June 30, 2002 was $110,724,116.
The company expects that the net loss for 2002 will be between $1.84-2.00 per share, or between $30-32.5 million, in line with the company's previous estimate. The increase in the net loss for the second quarter of 2002 versus the same period in 2001 was primarily the result of an increase in research and development expenses as the company moved its four drugs in phase I/II clinical trials towards phase II/III clinical trials.
As progress was made in phase I clinical trials, the company incurred research and development expenses related to production of phase II drug supply during the second quarter of 2002 which had been previously scheduled for the third quarter of 2002. In addition, under a license agreement entered into in 1999 with Pharmacia Corp., the company incurred expenses during the first half of 2002 related to its efforts to develop an easy-to-use neolipid formulation for Liposome Encapsulated Paclitaxel (LEP). Under the terms of the license agreement, NeoPharm is entitled to be reimbursed for these expenses.
