Acquire. Develop. Capture Value.

Our business strategy is to acquire proprietary product candidates, establish their efficacy  

in proof-of-concept clinical trials and complete clinical development and product commercialization 

either through partnerships in large markets or directly in niche markets.

We are seeking to acquire programs that complement our neurology pipeline and which have the 

potential to address a clinically significant unmet medical need. Our acquisition candidates must have 

a clear path to demonstrating efficacy and the potential for meaningful patent protection.

We then leverage our core competencies in manufacturing, in vivo studies and clinical  

trials to advance our programs through proof-of-concept clinical trials. Our product development 

experience and flexible infrastructure enable us to reach this important milestone efficiently.

Finally, we will capture the value of our product candidates either through partnerships with  

biopharmaceutical companies with global commercial infrastructures or through our own  

commercialization efforts in niche markets. Our strategy guides all aspects of our business and  

has resulted in significant progress in the past year. As described below, we have acquired  

a new program, reported positive data in two Phase 2 clinical trials, achieved record revenue  

and captured the value from two mature assets through licensing.

We achieved our financial goals for fiscal year 2008, delivering record-level revenues and a strong 

balance sheet. Our revenues, comprised primarily of Protein A product sales, increased by 37%  

to $19.3 million. In addition, we reported a net profit of $37.1 million, reflecting a one-time  

cash payment of approximately $40 million from ImClone Systems related to our license agreement 

for Erbitux®. We continued to maintain a strong financial position and ended the year with over  

$60 million in cash and cash equivalents. Importantly, we have created an operating structure and 

secured the cash resources to fund and sustain our product development initiatives.

REPLIGEN CORPORATION

President’s Letter

The past year represented a major inflection point for Repligen. We reported progress across  

all areas of our business and continued to execute our strategy to acquire programs with the opportunity 

to create meaningful value, develop our product candidates through proof-of-concept clinical trials  

and create significant value for patients and our shareholders.

In the past year, we have taken a significant step

tive financings. Our development pipeline now 

spans preclinical to Phase 3 clinical development, 

addressing underserved but well-defined markets 

—areas where we can have a meaningful impact 

on patient care and create significant value.

Commercial Assets

This past year, we achieved record total revenue 

of $19.3 million while maintaining our position as  

a leading supplier of Protein A, a key consumable 

used in the manufacture of most monoclonal anti-

bodies. Monoclonal antibodies are the largest and 

We have also secured a new source of revenue 

through the successful licensing of our patent cov-

ering the use of CTLA4-Ig in rheumatoid arthritis. 

Our agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb resulted 

in a $5 million payment and tiered royalties on 

Bristol’s U.S. sales of Orencia®, recently launched 

for refractory rheumatoid arthritis. We estimate 

that our royalty income will exceed $100 million 

over the life of the agreement, providing an addi-

tional source of funding for continued expansion 

and development of our pipeline.

Strength in Our Commercial Assets

As the leading supplier of Protein A, our revenue growth 

is tied to the monoclonal antibody market, the largest and 

fastest growing class of drug in the biopharmaceutical 

industry. We also receive royalties on the U.S. sales of 

Orencia which could translate into aggregate royalties  

of more than $100 million.

Advancing Our Pipeline

RG1068 enhanced MRI imaging provides physicians a 

detailed, safe procedure to assess patients with suspected 

pancreatic disease such as acute and chronic pancreatitis.

RG2417 is designed to address the symptoms of bipolar  

disorder, which affects more than two million adults in  

the U.S., without the problematic side effects of currently 

marketed therapies.

and sale of Erbitux®. ImClone Systems received a 

non-exclusive license to certain patents, and we 

received net proceeds of approximately $40 mil-

lion, significantly strengthening our balance sheet.

RG1068 for MRI Imaging of  
the Pancreas

We reported significant progress with our most 

advanced clinical program, RG1068 (synthetic 

human secretin) as an agent to improve the assess-

ment of pancreatic duct structures by magnetic 

resonance imaging (MRI). In our Phase 2 trial, 

RG1068 improved the ability to detect structural 

abnormalities of the pancreatic ducts by approxi-

mately 20% with no loss in specificity. Detailed 

visual assessment of the pancreatic ducts and 

identification of structural abnormalities is impor-

tant in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment  

of diseases such as acute and chronic pancreatitis. 

The use of a noninvasive procedure such as MRI  

is attractive for patient care as it can obviate the 

need for more risky invasive procedures.

Due to the risks to patients associated with an 

invasive endoscopic procedure, the current method 

for imaging the pancreatic ducts, the FDA has  

recognized the critical need to improve imaging of 

the pancreas by granting our program Fast Track 

designation. Further, we have received Orphan 

Drug Designation from the FDA for the use of 

RG1068 with MRI imaging, which qualifies us for 

seven years of marketing exclusivity in the U.S.  

if we are the first to receive marketing approval.

RG2417 for Bipolar Disorder

Our lead neurology program is RG2417, an oral  

formulation of uridine for the treatment of bipolar 

disorder. We have completed a positive Phase 2a 

multi-center trial of RG2417 in 83 patients with 

bipolar disorder. Over the six-week treatment 

period, the study demonstrated a statistically  

significant improvement in the symptom of 

depression in the patients receiving RG2417 when 

compared to placebo on a widely used rating 

scale. In addition, RG2417 significantly improved

have made significant progress in advancing this 

program resulting in the identification of advanced 

compounds with improved potency and specificity. 

During the next year, we plan to further character-

ize these leads to determine their appropriateness 

as a clinical product candidate as well as evaluate 

this family of compounds for activity in preclinical 

models of other neurodegenerative diseases.  

We have received grants from two patient-based 

foundations which help support this program. We 

believe that establishing relationships with these 

non-profit organizations will result in a number of 

mutual benefits as the program evolves and we 

prepare for human clinical trials. Approximately one 

in every 50,000 people in the U.S. has Friedreich’s 

ataxia, and there is currently no treatment for the 

disorder.

We have a clear vision for value creation. We will 

invest the proceeds from our Commercial Assets 

into the acquisition of promising product candidates 

that complement our neurology pipeline, drive our 

programs forward through proof-of-concept studies 

and determine the appropriate partnering and com-

mercialization arrangements to maximize the value 

of the programs. We believe this will provide a 

platform for continued success, and we look for-

ward to updating you on our efforts.

Business

The  following  discussion  of  our  business  con-
tains  forward-looking  statements  that  involve 
risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, 
the words “ intend,” “anticipate,” “ believe,” 
“estimate,” “plan” and “expect” and similar 
expressions as they relate to us are included to 
identify  forward-looking  statements.  Our  actual 
results  could  differ  materially  from  those  antici-
pated  in  these  forward-looking  statements  and 
are a result of certain factors, including those set 
forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our 
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Repligen  Corporation  (“Repligen,”  the  “Com-
pany” or “we”) is developing novel therapeutics 
primarily  for  the  treatment  of  diseases  of  the 
central  nervous  system.  Our  business  strategy 
is to maintain full commercial rights to our prod-
uct candidates through “proof of principle” clini-
cal  studies  after  which  we  may  seek  corporate 
partners for further development and marketing. 
For  the  next  several  years,  we  expect  to  fund 
the  development  of  our  proprietary  therapeutic 
product  candidates  primarily  through  royalty  
payments  received  from  Bristol-Myers  Squibb 
Company  (“Bristol”)  based  on  their  United 
States sales of Orencia® and the profits from the 
sales of our Protein A products which are used 
in the production of many therapeutic monoclo-
nal  antibodies.  This  will  enable  us  to  indepen-
dently  advance  our  product  candidates  through 
“proof  of  principle”  clinical  trials  with  reduced 
financial risk.

We  were  incorporated  in  May  1981,  under  the 
laws  of  the  State  of  Delaware.  Our  principle 
executive  offices  are  at  41  Seyon  Street, 
Waltham,  Massachusetts  02453  and  our  tele-
phone number is (781) 250-0111.

Currently Marketed Products
We currently sell a line of commercial products 
based on Protein A, which is used in the produc-
tion of monoclonal antibodies, and SecreFlo®, a 
synthetic form of the hormone secretin, which is 
used  as  an  aid  in  the  diagnosis  of  certain  dis-
eases of the pancreas.

Protein A Products for Antibody Manufacturing
Protein A is widely used in the purification of 
therapeutic  monoclonal  antibodies.  Most  thera-
peutic  monoclonal  antibodies  are  manufactured 
by  the  fermentation  of  mammalian  cells  that 
express the monoclonal antibody. The monoclo-
nal  antibody  is  typically  produced  by  a  process 
in  which  an  impure  fermentation  broth  contain-
ing  the  desired  monoclonal  antibody  is  passed 
over  a  solid  support  to  which  Protein  A  has  
been chemically attached or “immobilized.” The 
immobilized Protein A binds the monoclonal anti-
body  while  other  impurities  are  washed  away. 
The monoclonal antibody is then recovered from 
the support in a substantially purified form.

We  manufacture  and  market  several  products 
based  on  recombinant  forms  of  Protein  A.  Our 
primary  customers  incorporate  our  Protein  A 
products  into  their  proprietary  monoclonal  anti-
body  purification  systems  that  they  sell  directly 
to  the  biotechnology  and  pharmaceutical  indus-
try. We supply Protein A products to GE Health-
care (“GEHC”) under a supply agreement which 
extends through 2010 and to Applied Biosystems, 
Inc. under a supply agreement that extends until 
2011.  The  majority  of  our  product  sales  for  the 
last  three  years  have  been  sales  of  Protein  A 
products.

Sales of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies have 
increased from $300 million in 1997 to approxi-
mately $25 billion in 2007. This growth is based 
on the increasing use of therapeutic antibodies, 
including Avastin® for colon cancer, Synagis® for 
RSV  infection  and  Remicade®  for  Crohn’s  dis-
ease and arthritis. There are more than 150 addi-
tional monoclonal antibodies in various stages of 
clinical  testing  which  may  lead  to  additional 
growth  of  the  antibody  market  and  in  turn, 
increased demand for Protein A.

SecreFlo® for Pancreatic Diagnosis
In  fiscal  year  2008,  we  also  recorded  sales  of 
SecreFlo ®,  a  synthetic  form  of  porcine  (pig-
derived)  secretin.  SecreFlo®  is  approved  by  the 
U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (“FDA”)  as 
an  aid  in  the  diagnosis  of  chronic  pancreatitis

and gastrinoma (a form of cancer) and as an aid 
during  endoscopic  retrograde  cholangiopancre-
atography  (“ERCP”),  a  gastrointestinal  proce-
dure. We will discontinue distribution of SecreFlo® 
in  the  first  half  of  fiscal  year  2009  when  our 
product supply will cease.

Intellectual Property on Monoclonal Antibody 
and Antibody Fusion Products

Erbitux®
Erbitux®  is  a  monoclonal  antibody  developed  
by  ImClone  Systems  Incorporated  (“ImClone”) 
which  was  approved  by  the  FDA  in  February 
2004 for the treatment of certain forms of colon 
cancer  and  in  March  2006  for  the  treatment  of 
head and neck cancer. Erbitux® is manufactured 
with  a  cell  line  which  contains  certain  genetic 
technologies (“DNA enhancers”) which increase 
the  productivity  of  a  cell  line.  This  U.S.  patent 
covering  the  use  of  DNA  enhancers,  which 
expired  in  May  of  2004,  was  assigned  to  The 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology  (“MIT”) 
and  exclusively  licensed  to  Repligen.  In  May 
2004,  Repligen  and  MIT  jointly  filed  a  lawsuit 
against Imclone in U.S. District Court for Massa-
chusetts alleging that Imclone has infringed our 
patent  rights  in  its  production  of  Erbitux®.  In 
September 2007, Repligen and MIT entered into 
a  settlement  agreement  under  which  ImClone 
was granted a license to the DNA enhancer pat-
ent  and  certain  other  intellectual  property  in 
exchange for a payment of $65,000,000.

CTLA4-Ig
CTLA4  is  a  key  regulator  of  the  activity  of  the 
immune system. CTLA4 “turns off” the immune 
system after it has successfully cleared a bacte-
rial or viral infection by blocking the activation of 
T-cells,  the  immune  cells  responsible  for  initiat-
ing an immune response. In the 1990s, our col-
laborators at the University of Michigan and the 
U.S. Navy demonstrated in animal models that a 
fusion protein consisting of fragments of CTLA4 
and an antibody (“CTLA4-Ig”) could be used to 
treat certain autoimmune diseases. This research 
finding  resulted  in  the  granting  of  U.S.  patent 
No. 6,685,941 (“the ‘941 Patent”) covering the 

treatment  of  certain  auto-immune  disorders 
including  rheumatoid  arthritis  with  CTLA4-Ig. 
The  ‘941  Patent  is  owned  by  the  University  of 
Michigan  and  exclusively  licensed  to  Repligen. 
CTLA4-Ig’s  mechanism  of  action  is  different 
from  the  current  therapies  for  autoimmune  dis-
ease  or  organ  transplant  rejection,  thus  it  may 
provide a treatment for patients who are refrac-
tory to existing therapies.

In  December  2005,  the  FDA  approved  Bristol’s 
application to market CTLA4-Ig, under the brand 
name  Orencia®,  for  treatment  of  rheumatoid 
arthritis.  In  January  2006,  Repligen  and  the 
University  of  Michigan  jointly  filed  a  lawsuit 
against Bristol in the United States District Court 
for  the  Eastern  District  of  Texas  for  patent 
infringement.  In  April  2008,  Repligen  and  the 
University of Michigan entered into a settlement 
agreement with Bristol pursuant to which, Bristol 
made an initial payment of $5 million to Repligen 
and will pay us royalties on the U.S. net sales of 
Orencia®  for  any  clinical  indication  at  a  rate  of 
1.8%  for  the  first  $500  million  of  annual  sales, 
2.0% for the next $500 million and 4% of annual 
sales  in  excess  of  $1  billion  for  each  year  from 
January 1, 2008 until December 31, 2013.

Development Stage Products

Secretin for MRI
Secretin  is  a  well-known  hormone  produced  in 
the small intestine that regulates the function of 
the pancreas as part of the process of digestion. 
We are currently evaluating secretin for improve-
ment of MRI imaging of structural abnormalities 
of the pancreas.

Several  reports  published  in  the  literature  sup-
port  the  use  of  secretin  with  abdominal  MRI 
imaging  to  improve  visualization  of  pancreatico-

delineation  of  normal  and  abnormal  structures 
with  MRI  is  attractive  for  patient  care  as  it  can 
obviate  the  need  for  more  risky  invasive  endo-
scopic procedures.

In June 2006, we initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial 
to evaluate the use of RG1068, synthetic human 
secretin, as an agent to improve the detection of 
structural  abnormalities  of  the  pancreatic  ducts 
during MRI imaging of the pancreas. This was a 
multi-center,  baseline  controlled,  single  dose 
study in which 76 patients with a history of pan-
creatitis  received  a  secretin-enhanced  MRI  and 
an unenhanced MRI of the pancreas.

In  May  2007,  we  announced  positive  results 
from  this  Phase  2  clinical  trial  to  evaluate  the 
use  of  RG1068  to  improve  the  assessment  of 
pancreatic  duct  structures  by  MRI.  The  study 
showed an improvement in sensitivity of detec-
tion of structural abnormalities of the pancreatic 
duct of approximately 20% with no loss in spec-
ificity.  In  addition,  the  study  showed  highly  
significant  increases  in  the  following  three 
assessments: physician confidence in their abil-
ity to identify structural abnormalities, the num-
ber  of  pancreatic  duct  segments  visualized  and 
improvement  in  the  overall  quality  of  the  MRI 
images. Detailed visual assessment of the pan-
creatic  ducts  and  identification  of  structural 
abnormalities  is  important  in  the  assessment, 
diagnosis  and  treatment  of  diseases  such  as 
acute and chronic pancreatitis.

Our Phase 2 data was reviewed by the FDA and 
has served as the basis for the design of a piv-
otal, Phase 3 study. The Phase 3 study will seek 
to recruit approximately 250 patients at 25 clini-
cal  sites  in  the  United  States  and  Canada.  The 
primary  objective  of  the  Phase  3  study  is  to 
demonstrate that secretin improves the ability to 
detect  structural  abnormalities  of  the  pancreas 
by  MRI.  We  believe  that  a  successful  Phase  3 
study will provide the basis for filing a New Drug 
Application  (“NDA”)  with  the  FDA  for  approval 
to  market  secretin  for  this  use  in  the  United 
States. We have received an Orphan Drug des-
ignation  from  the  FDA  for  this  use  of  secretin, 

which means we will have seven years of mar-
keting exclusivity in the United States following 
approval  of  the  NDA.  We  also  have  received 
“fast  track”  designation  from  the  FDA  which 
means our NDA will receive expedited review by 
the FDA.

Uridine for Bipolar Depression
Uridine  is  a  biological  compound  essential  for 
multiple  biosynthetic  processes  including  the 
synthesis of DNA and RNA, the basic hereditary 
material  found  in  all  cells  and  numerous  other 
factors  essential  for  cell  metabolism.  Uridine  is 
synthesized  by  the  power  plant  of  the  human 
cell  known  as  the  mitochondria.  The  rationale 
for  uridine  therapy  in  central  nervous  system,  
or  CNS,  disorders  is  supported  by  pre-clinical 
and  clinical  research.  Researchers  at  McLean 
Hospital previously demonstrated that uridine is 
active in a well-validated animal model of depres-
sion. Recent reports indicate that certain genes 
that  encode  for  mitochondrial  proteins  are  sig-
nificantly down-regulated in the brains of bipolar 
patients.  This  insight  suggests  that  the  symp-
toms  of  bipolar  disorder  may  be  linked  to  dys-
regulation of energy metabolism of the brain.

Bipolar  disorder,  also  known  as  manic  depres-
sion,  is  marked  by  extreme  changes  in  mood, 
energy and behavior in which a person can alter-
nate  between  mania  (highs)  and  depression 
(lows).  Bipolar  disorder  affects  more  than  2  
million adults in the United States. Current drug 
therapy  for  bipolar  disorder  includes  the  use  of 
lithium  and  anti-psychotic  drugs.  However,  side 
effects  are  frequent  and  troublesome,  and 
patients  do  not  respond  fully,  leading  to  poor 
patient  compliance  with  therapy  and  frequent 
recurrences of mania and depression.

In  March  2006,  we  initiated  a  Phase  2a  clinical 
trial of RG2417, an oral formulation of uridine, in 
patients  with  bipolar  depression.  This  was  a 
multi-center, dose escalating study in 82 patients 
which  compared  daily,  oral  dosing  with  either 
RG2417  or  a  placebo  for  six  weeks.  Patients 
were evaluated weekly for the safety and effec-
tiveness of RG2417 on the symptoms of bipolar 

F-4

depression.  The  study  showed  a  statistically  
significant  improvement  in  the  symptoms  of 
depression  over  the  six-week  course  of  treat-
ment in the patients treated with RG2417 com-
pared to placebo. In addition, the patients treated 
with RG2417 showed a greater improvement in 
a  global  assessment  of  their  overall  symptoms 
of bipolar disorder compared to placebo-treated 
patients. RG2417 was well tolerated by patients 
and  had  a  good  safety  profile.  This  study  was 
partially  supported  by  the  Stanley  Medical 
Research  Institute.  We  are  currently  planning  a 
larger  Phase  2b  trial  to  reproduce  and  extend 
the results of the Phase 2a study.

Transcription Enhancers for Friedreich’s Ataxia
Symptoms of Friedreich’s ataxia typically emerge 
between the ages of five and 15 and often prog-
ress  to  severe  disability,  incapacitation  or  loss  
of  life  in  early  adulthood.  Friedreich’s  ataxia  is 
caused  by  a  single  gene  defect  that  results  in 
inadequate  production  of  the  protein  frataxin. 
The  protein  frataxin  appears  to  be  essential  for 
the  proper  functioning  of  the  mitochondria,  the 
power  plant  of  both  neural  and  muscle  cells. 
Low  levels  of  frataxin  leads  to  degeneration  of 
both  the  nerves  controlling  muscle  movements 
in the arms and legs and the nerve tissue in the 
spinal  cord.  Approximately  one  in  every  50,000 
people  in  the  United  States  has  Friedreich’s 
ataxia.

In April 2007, we entered into an exclusive com-
mercial  license  (the  “Scripps  License  Agree-
ment”)  with  The  Scripps  Research  Institute 
(“Scripps”)  for  intellectual  property  covering 
compounds  which  may  have  utility  in  treating 
Friedreich’s  ataxia.  Research  in  cells  derived 
from  patients,  as  well  as  in  mice  indicates  that 
the licensed compounds increase production of 
the  protein  frataxin,  which  suggests  potential 
utility  of  these  compounds  in  slowing  or  stop-
ping  progression  of  the  disease.  There  is  cur-
rently no treatment for Friedreich’s ataxia.

We have chemically synthesized several libraries 
of  compounds  related  to  the  initial  compounds 
licensed from Scripps. Some of these compounds  
have  higher  potency  or  improved  specificity  in 
laboratory  assays.  These  compounds  are  cur-
rently  being  evaluated  in  a  variety  of  animal 
models  for  safety  and  efficacy  to  determine  if 
one  may  be  a  suitable  candidate  for  clinical  tri-
als.  Preliminary  data  also  suggests  that  these 
compounds may have utility in treating other dis-
orders  such  as  Spinal  Muscular  Atrophy  and 
Huntington’s disease.

Sales and Marketing
We sell our Protein A products primarily through 
value-added  resellers  including  GEHC  and 
Applied Biosystems, Inc., as well as through dis-
tributors  in  certain  foreign  markets.  We  market 
SecreFlo® directly to hospital-based gastroenter-
ologists in the United States.

Significant Customers and  
Geographic Reporting
Customers  for  our  Protein  A  products  include 
chromatography companies, diagnostics compa-
nies,  biopharmaceutical  companies  and  labora-
tory researchers. During fiscal years 2008, 2007 
and  2006,  the  customers  that  accounted  for 
more than 10% of our total revenue were GEHC 
and Applied Biosystems, Inc.

Of  our  fiscal  2008  product  revenue,  36%  is 
attributable to U.S. customers and 64% is attrib-
utable  to  foreign  customers,  of  which  74%  is 
attributable to two customers. Of our fiscal 2007 
product revenue, 47% is attributable to U.S. cus-
tomers  and  53%  is  attributable  to  foreign  cus-
tomers,  of  which  72%  is  attributable  to  two 
customers.  Of  our  fiscal  2006  revenue,  48%  is 
attributable to U.S. customers and 52% is attrib-
utable  to  foreign  customers,  of  which  75%  is 
attributable to two customers.

Employees
As of May 27, 2008, we had 56 employees. Of 
those employees, 43 were engaged in research, 
development  and  manufacturing  and  13  in 
administrative  and  marketing  functions.  Twenty 
of  our  employees  hold  doctorates  or  other 
advanced  degrees.  Each  of  our  employees  has 
signed a confidentiality agreement. None of our 
employees  are  covered  by  collective  bargaining 
agreements.

Patents, Licenses and Proprietary Rights
Our  policy  is  to  seek  patent  protection  for  our 
therapeutic product candidates. We pursue pat-
ent  protection  in  the  United  States  and  file  cor-
responding patent applications in relevant foreign 
jurisdictions.  We  believe  that  patents  are  an 
important element in the protection of our com-
petitive  and  proprietary  position,  but  other  ele-
ments,  including  trade  secrets,  orphan  drug 
status  and  know-how,  are  also  important.  We 
own  or  have  exclusive  rights  to  more  than  15 
issued  U.S.  patents  and  corresponding  foreign 
equivalents.  The  terms  of  such  patents  expire  
at  various  times  between  2009  and  2021.  No 
patent  material  to  our  business  expires  before 
2009.  In  addition,  we  have  rights  to  more  than 
20  U.S.  pending  patent  applications  and  corre-
sponding foreign applications. The invalidation of 
key patents owned or licensed by us or the fail-
ure of patents to issue on pending patent appli-
cations could create increased competition, with 
potential  adverse  effects  on  our  business  pros-
pects. For each of our license agreements where 
we license the rights to patents or patent appli-
cations,  the  license  will  terminate  on  the  day 
that  the  last  to  expire  patent  covered  by  each 
such license agreement expires.

We also rely upon trade secret protection for our 
confidential  and  proprietary  information.  Our 
policy is to require each of our employees, con-
sultants, business partners and significant scien-
tific  collaborators  to  execute  confidentiality  

agreements  upon  the  commencement  of  an 
employment, consulting or business relationship 
with  us.  These  agreements  generally  provide 
that  all  confidential  information  developed  or 
made known to the individual during the course 
of  the  individual’s  relationship  with  us  is  to  be 
kept  confidential  and  not  disclosed  to  third  
parties  except  in  specific  circumstances.  In  the 
case  of  employees  and  consultants,  the  agree-
ments  generally  provide  that  all  inventions 
conceived by the individual in the course of ren-
dering  services  to  Repligen  shall  be  our  exclu-
sive property.

CTLA4-Ig
We  are  the  exclusive  licensee  of  all  CTLA4-Ig 
patent rights owned by the University of Michigan. 
In February 2004, the ‘941 patent issued, to which 
we  own  the  exclusive  rights  through  license 
agreements with the University of Michigan and 
the  U.S.  Navy.  The  ‘941  patent  has  claims  that 
cover  the  use  of  CTLA4-Ig  to  treat  rheumatoid 
arthritis, multiple sclerosis and certain other 
autoimmune  disorders  and  is  assigned  to  the 
University  of  Michigan  and  the  U.S.  Navy.  This 
patent is exclusively sub-licensed by Repligen to 
Bristol-Myers Squibb as of April 2008.

Uridine
In  November  2000  and  December  2000, 
Repligen  entered  into  two  license  agreements 
(the “UCSD Uridine License Agreements”) with 
the University of California, San Diego (“UCSD”) 
for  certain  patent  applications  pertaining  to  the 
use  of  uridine  and  uridine  derivatives  for  the 
treatment  of  mitochondrial  disease  and  purine 
autism. On June 21, 2001, Pro-Neuron, Inc. filed 
a  complaint  (the  “Pro - Neuron  Complaint”) 
against the Regents of the University of California 
(the  “Regents”)  and  Repligen  in  the  Superior 
Court of California, County of San Diego seeking 
to  void  the  UCSD  Uridine  License  Agreement 
relating  to  treatment  of  mitochondrial  disease 
entered  into  between  Repligen  and  the  UCSD.

Pro-Neuron,  Inc.  subsequently  amended  the 
complaint  to  include  the  UCSD  Uridine  License 
Agreement  related  to  purine  autism  and  claims 
for misappropriation of trade secrets.

discussed herein. We spent $7,241,000 in fiscal 
2008, $5,924,000 in fiscal 2007, and $5,163,000 
in  fiscal  2006  on  company-sponsored  research 
and development activities.

In  June  2003,  Repligen  agreed  to  restructure 
the  UCSD  License  Agreements  to  exclude  
the  field  of  acylated  pyrimidines,  including 
triacetyluridine.

In  April  2004,  a  U.S.  patent  was  issued  to 
Repligen  and  UCSD,  which  claims  methods  
of  treating  certain  developmental  disorders, 
including  certain  forms  of  autism,  with  uridine 
compositions  which  expires  in  October  2020. 
Foreign  equivalents  of  this  patent  are  pending.  
A  patent  with  similar  claims  has  been  recently 
issued in Australia.

Protein A
We  own  a  U.S.  patent  covering  recombinant 
Protein A, which expires in September 2009, as 
well as significant know-how in the manufacture 
of high-purity Protein A. We also own a U.S. pat-
ent covering modified forms of Protein A, which 
was  non-exclusively  licensed  to  Amersham 
Biosciences  (now  GEHC)  in  1998  as  part  of  a 
ten-year  agreement,  which  was  amended  and 
extended  in  2005  until  2010,  covering  the  sup-
ply of Protein A to GEHC.

In  addition  to  its  utility  in  monoclonal  antibody 
manufacturing,  Protein  A  may  also  be  useful  in 
human  therapy  based  on  its  activity  as  a  B-cell 
toxin.  Repligen  has  exclusively  licensed  rights 
from  UCSD  to  a  U.S.  patent  application  which 
claims a variety of potential therapeutic uses of 
Protein  A.  Foreign  equivalents  of  this  patent 
application are also pending.

Research and Development
For the past three years, we have devoted sub-
stantial  resources  to  the  research  and  develop-
ment of therapeutic product candidates and our 
commercial  products  and  product  candidates  

Competition
Our  Protein  A  and  SecreFlo ®  products  com-
pete  on  the  basis  of  quality,  performance,  cost 
effectiveness,  and  application  suitability  with 
numerous  established  technologies.  Additional 
products  using  new  technologies  that  may  be 
competitive with our products may also be intro-
duced. Many of the companies selling or devel-
oping  competitive  products  have  financial, 
manufacturing and distribution resources signifi-
cantly greater than ours.

The  field  of  drug  development  is  characterized 
by  rapid  technological  change.  New  develop-
ments are expected to continue at a rapid pace 
in  both  industry  and  academia.  There  are  many 
companies,  both  public  and  private,  including 
large pharmaceutical companies, chemical com-
panies  and  specialized  biotechnology  compa-
nies, engaged in developing products competitive 
with products that we have under development. 
Many  of  these  companies  have  greater  capital, 
human  resources,  research  and  development, 
manufacturing  and  marketing  experience  than 
we  do.  They  may  succeed  in  developing  prod-
ucts  that  are  more  effective  or  less  costly  than 
any  that  we  may  develop.  These  competitors 
may  also  prove  to  be  more  successful  than  we 
are in production and marketing. In addition, aca-
demic, government and industry-based research 
groups  compete  intensely  with  us  in  recruiting 
qualified  research  personnel,  in  submitting  pat-
ent  filings  for  protection  of  intellectual  property 
rights and in establishing corporate strategic alli-
ances. We cannot be certain that research, dis-
coveries  and  commercial  developments  by 
others  will  not  render  any  of  our  programs  or 
potential products noncompetitive.

Manufacturing

Protein A for Antibody Manufacturing
We manufacture Protein A products from recom-
binant  strains  of  bacteria.  We  manufacture 
Protein  A  for  GEHC  under  a  supply  agreement 
which  extends  through  2010.  In  addition,  we 
have a long-term supply agreement with Applied 
Biosystems, Inc. that provides that Repligen will 
be the preferred provider of recombinant protein 
A to Applied Biosystems, Inc. until 2011. We uti-
lize our own facility and third parties to carry out 
certain  fermentation  and  recovery  operations, 
while the purification, immobilization, packaging 
and quality control testing of Protein A are con-
ducted  at  our  facilities.  We  maintain  an  active 
quality  assurance  effort  to  support  the  regu-
latory  requirements  of  our  customers.  We  pur-
chase  raw  materials  from  more  than  one 
commercially  established  company  and  believe 
that  the  necessary  raw  materials  are  currently 
commercially  available  in  sufficient  quantities 
necessary to meet market demand.

Therapeutic Product Candidates
We currently rely, and will continue to rely, for at 
least  the  next  few  years,  upon  contract  manu-
facturers for both the procurement of raw mate-
rials and the production of our product candidates 
for  use  in  our  clinical  trials.  Our  product  candi-
dates  will  need  to  be  manufactured  in  a  facility 
and  by  processes  that  comply  with  the  FDA’s 
good  manufacturing  practices  and  other  similar 
regulations.  It  may  take  a  substantial  period  of 
time  to  begin  manufacturing  our  products  in 
compliance  with  such  regulations.  If  we  are 
unable  to  establish  and  maintain  relationships 
with  third  parties  for  manufacturing  sufficient 
quantities  of  our  product  candidates  and  their 
components  that  meet  our  planned  time  and 
cost parameters, the development and timing of 
our clinical trials may be adversely affected.

We purchase raw materials from more than one 
commercially  established  company.  Our  neces-
sary  raw  materials  are  currently  commercially 
available  in  quantities  that  far  exceed  the  scale 
required  to  complete  all  of  our  future  planned 
clinical trials.

Government Regulation
The  development  of  drug  candidates  is  subject 
to  regulation  in  the  United  States  by  the  FDA 
and abroad by foreign equivalents. Product devel-
opment and approval within the FDA regulatory 
framework usually takes a significant number of 
years and involves the expenditure of substantial 
capital resources. Timelines for development are 
uncertain.

Before clinical testing in the United States of any 
drug  candidate  may  begin,  FDA  requirements 
for preclinical efficacy and safety must be com-
pleted. Required toxicity testing typically involves 
characterization of the drug candidate in several 
animal species. Safety and efficacy data are sub-
mitted  to  the  FDA  as  part  of  an  Investigational 
New Drug Application (“IND”) and are reviewed 
by  the  FDA  prior  to  the  commencement  of 
human clinical trials.

Clinical  trials  involve  the  administration  of  the 
drug to human volunteers or patients under the 
supervision  of  a  qualified  investigator,  usually  
a  physician,  with  an  FDA-approved  protocol. 
Human  clinical  trials  are  typically  conducted  in 
three sequential phases:

•   Phase  1  clinical  trials  represent  the  initial 
administration  of  the  investigational  drug  to  
a  small  group  of  human  subjects  to  test  for 
safety  (adverse  effects),  dose  tolerance, 
absorption, biodistribution, metabolism, excre-
tion and clinical pharmacology and, if possible, 
to gain early evidence regarding efficacy.

F-8

F-9

Business (continued)

•   Phase  2  clinical  trials  typically  involve  a  small 
sample of the actual intended patient popula-
tion  and  seek  to  assess  the  efficacy  of  the 
drug for specific targeted indications, to deter-
mine  dose  tolerance  and  the  optimal  dose 
range,  and  to  gather  additional  information 
relating to safety and potential adverse effects.

•   Once an investigational drug is found to have 
some efficacy and an acceptable safety profile 
in  the  targeted  patient  population,  Phase  3 
clinical  trials  are  initiated  to  establish  further 
clinical  safety  and  efficacy  of  the  investiga-
tional drug in a broader sample of the general 
patient  population  at  multiple  study  sites  in 
order to determine the overall risk-benefit ratio 
of the drug and to provide an adequate basis 
for  product  approval.  The  Phase  3  clinical 
development  program  consists  of  expanded, 
large-scale studies of patients with the target 
disease or disorder to obtain definitive statisti-
cal evidence of the efficacy and safety of the 
proposed product.

All  data  obtained  from  a  comprehensive  devel-
opment program are submitted in an NDA to the 
FDA  and  the  corresponding  agencies  in  other 
countries  for  review  and  approval.  The  NDA 
includes information pertaining to clinical studies 
and the manufacture of the new drug. Review of 
an  NDA  by  the  FDA  can  be  a  time-consuming 
process  and  the  FDA  may  request  that  we 
submit  additional  data  or  carry  out  additional 
studies.

Overview
We  are  a  biopharmaceutical  company  focused 
primarily on the development of novel therapeu-
tics for diseases that affect the central nervous 
system.  A  number  of  drug  development  pro-
grams are currently being conducted to evaluate 
our drug candidates in diseases such as bipolar 
disorder and neurodegeneration. In addition, we 
sell  two  commercial  products,  Protein  A  for 
monoclonal  antibody  purification  and  SecreFlo® 
for assessment of pancreatic disorders. In fiscal  

2008, we experienced growth in sales and prof-
its from our commercial products business. Our 
business  strategy  is  to  deploy  the  profits  from 
our  current  commercial  products  and  patent 
licensing revenues to enable us to invest in the 
development  of  our  therapeutic  product  candi-
dates while reducing our financial risk.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
While  our  significant  accounting  polices  are 
more  fully  described  in  notes  to  our  financial 
statements, we have identified the policies and 
estimates below as critical to our business oper-
ations  and  the  understanding  of  our  results  of 
operations. The impact and any associated risks 
related to these policies on our business opera-
tions  is  discussed  throughout  “Management’s 
Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition” 
and  “Results  of  Operations”  where  such  poli-
cies  affect  our  reported  and  expected  financial 
results.

Revenue Recognition
We  apply  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No.  104, 
“Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”) to our 
revenue  arrangements.  We  generate  product 
revenues  from  the  sale  of  our  Protein  A  prod-
ucts  to  customers  in  the  pharmaceutical  and 
process chromatography industries and from the 
sale of SecreFlo® to hospital-based gastroenter-
ologists.  In  accordance  with  SAB  No.  104,  we 
recognize revenue related to product sales upon 
delivery of the product to the customer as long 
as  there  is  persuasive  evidence  of  an  arrange-
ment,  the  sales  price  is  fixed  or  determinable 
and  collection  of  the  related  receivable  is  rea-
sonably  assured.  Determination  of  whether 
these criteria have been met are based on man-
agement’s  judgments  primarily  regarding  the 
fixed nature of the fee charged for product deliv-
ered,  and  the  collectibility  of  those  fees.  We 
have  a  few  longstanding  customers  who  com-
prise the majority of our revenue and have excel-
lent payment history. We have had no significant  

F-10

write-offs  of  uncollectible  invoices  in  the  peri-
ods  presented.  Should  changes  in  conditions  
cause management to determine that these cri-
teria are not met for certain future transactions, 
revenue  recognized  for  any  reporting  period 
could be adversely affected.

At the time of sale, we also evaluate the need to 
accrue for warranty and sales returns. The sup-
ply  agreements  we  have  with  our  customers 
and  related  purchase  orders  identify  the  terms 
and conditions of each sale and the price of the 
goods  ordered.  Due  to  the  nature  of  our  sales 
arrangements,  inventory  produced  for  sale  is 
tested  for  quality  specifications  prior  to  ship-
ment.  Since  the  product  is  manufactured  to 
order and in compliance with required specifica-
tions  prior  to  shipment,  the  likelihood  of  sales 
returns, warranty or other issues is largely dimin-
ished.  Sales  returns  and  warranty  issues  are 
infrequent and have had nominal impact on our 
financial statements historically. Should changes 
in  conditions  cause  management  to  determine 
that  warranty,  returns  or  other  sale-related 
reserves  are  necessary  for  certain  future  trans-
actions,  revenue  recognized  for  any  reporting 
period could be adversely affected.

During  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2008 
and  March  31,  2007,  we  recognized  $365,000 
and  $825,000,  respectively,  of  revenue  from  a 
sponsored  research  and  development  project 
under  an  agreement  with  the  Stanley  Medical 
Research Institute (“SMRI”). Research revenue 
is recognized on a cost plus fixed-fee basis when 
the  expense  has  been  incurred  and  services 
have  been  performed.  Determination  of  which 
costs  incurred  qualify  for  reimbursement  under 
the  terms  of  our  contractual  agreement  and  
the  timing  of  when  such  costs  were  incurred 
involves the judgment of management. Our cal-
culations are based upon the agreed-upon terms 
as  stated  in  our  arrangement.  However,  should 
our  estimated  calculations  change  or  be  chal-
lenged  by  SMRI,  research  revenue  may  be  

adjusted in subsequent periods. Our calculations 
have not historically changed or been challenged 
and we do not anticipate any subsequent change 
in our revenue related to this sponsored research 
and development project.

Additionally,  during  fiscal  years  2008  and  2007, 
the  Company  earned  and  recognized  approxi-
mately  $244,000  and  $175,000,  respectively  in 
royalty  revenue  from  ChiRhoClin  for  their  sales 
of  secretin.  Revenues  earned  from  ChiRhoClin 
royalties are recorded in the periods when they 
are  earned  based  on  royalty  reports  sent  by 
ChiRhoClin to the Company.

There have been no material changes to our ini-
tial  estimates  related  to  revenue  recognition  in 
any  periods  presented  in  the  accompanying 
financial statements.

Inventories
Inventories relate to our Protein A business. We 
value  inventory  at  cost  or,  if  lower,  fair  market 
value. We determine cost using the first-in, first-
out method. We review our inventories at least 
quarterly  and  record  a  provision  for  excess  and 
obsolete  inventory  based  on  our  estimates  of 
expected sales volume, production capacity and 
expiration  dates  of  raw  materials,  work-in  pro-
cess and finished products. Expected sales vol-
umes are determined based on supply forecasts 
provided by our key customers for the next three 
to twelve months. We write down inventory that 
has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost 
basis  in  excess  of  its  expected  net  realizable 
value,  and  inventory  in  excess  of  expected 
requirements  to  cost  of  product  revenue. 
Manufacturing  of  Protein  A  finished  goods  is 
done  to  order  and  tested  for  quality  specifica-
tions prior to shipment.

A  change  in  the  estimated  timing  or  amount  of 
demand  for  our  products  could  result  in  addi-
tional  provisions  for  excess  inventory  quantities 
on  hand.  Any  significant  unanticipated  changes 
in  demand  or  unexpected  quality  failures  could  

F-12

F-13

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations (continued)

have  a  significant  impact  on  the  value  of  our 
inventory and reported operating results. During 
all periods presented in the accompanying finan-
cial  statements,  there  have  been  no  material 
adjustments  related  to  a  revised  estimate  of 
inventory valuations.

Accrued Liabilities
We  prepare  our  financial  statements  in  accor-
dance  with  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted in the United States. These principles 
require that we estimate accrued liabilities. This 
process  involves  identifying  services,  which 
have  been  performed  on  our  behalf,  and  esti-
mating  the  level  of  service  performed  and  the 
associated  cost  incurred  for  such  service  as  of 
each balance sheet date. Examples of estimated 
accrued  expenses  include:  1)  Fees  paid  to  our 
contract  manufacturers  in  conjunction  with  the 
production of clinical materials. These expenses 
are  normally  determined  through  a  contract  
or  purchase  order  issued  by  the  Company;  
2)  Service  fees  paid  to  organizations  for  their 
performance  in  conducting  our  clinical  trials. 
These expenses are determined by contracts in 
place  for  those  services  and  communications 
with  project  managers  on  costs  which  have 
been  incurred  as  of  each  reporting  date;  and  
3) Professional and consulting fees incurred with 
law  firms,  audit  and  accounting  service  provid-
ers  and  other  third-party  consultants.  These 
expenses  are  determined  by  either  requesting 
those service providers to estimate unbilled ser-
vices at each reporting date for services incurred, 
or  tracking  costs  incurred  by  service  providers 
under  fixed  fee  arrangements.  We  have  pro-
cesses  in  place  to  estimate  the  appropriate 
amounts  to  record  for  accrued  liabilities,  which 
principally  involve  the  applicable  personnel 
reviewing  the  services  provided.  In  the  event 
that we do not identify certain costs which have 
begun  to  be  incurred  or  we  under  or  over- 
estimate the level of services performed or the 
costs  of  such  services,  our  reported  expenses  

for that period may be too low or too high. The  
date  on  which  certain  services  commence,  the 
level of services performed on or before a given 
date,  and  the  cost  of  such  services  are  often 
judgmental.  We  make  these  judgments  based 
upon  the  facts  and  circumstances  known  to  us 
at the date of the financial statements.

A  change  in  the  estimated  cost  or  volume  of 
services  provided  could  result  in  additional 
accrued  liabilities.  Any  significant  unanticipated 
changes  in  such  estimates  could  have  a  sig-
nificant  impact  on  our  accrued  liabilities  and 
reported  operating  results.  There  have  been  no 
material adjustments to our accrued liabilities in 
any of the periods presented in the accompany-
ing financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation
Effective April 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value 
recognition provisions of Statement of Financial 
Accounting  Standards  No.  123R,  “Share-Based 
Payment—An Amendment of FASB Statements 
No.  123  and  95,”  or  SFAS  No.  123R,  using  the 
modified  prospective  transition  method.  Under 
this  transition  method,  compensation  cost  rec-
ognized  in  the  statement  of  operations  for  the 
year  ended  March  31,  2007  includes:  (a)  com-
pensation  cost  for  all  share-based  payments 
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of April 1, 
2006,  based  on  the  grant-date  fair  value  esti-
mated in accordance with the original provisions 
of SFAS No. 123 and (b) compensation cost for 
all  share-based  payments  granted,  modified  or 
settled  subsequent  to  April  1,  2006,  based  on 
the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance 
with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. In accor-
dance  with  the  modified  prospective  transition 
method, results for prior periods have not been 
restated.

Effective  with  the  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  123R, 
we have elected to use the Black-Scholes option 
pricing model to calculate the fair value of share-
based awards on the grant date.

F-12

F-13

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations (continued)

The  expected  term  of  options  granted  repre-
sents  the  period  of  time  for  which  the  options 
are  expected  to  be  outstanding  and  is  derived 
from  our  historical  stock  option  exercise  expe-
rience  and  option  expiration  data.  For  option 
grants  made  subsequent  to  the  adoption  of 
SFAS  No.  123R,  the  expected  life  of  stock 
options  granted  is  based  on  the  simplified  
method  allowable  under  SAB  No.  107.  Accord-
ingly, the expected term is presumed to be the 
midpoint between the vesting date and the end 
of the contractual term. In addition, for purposes 
of estimating the expected term, we have aggre-
gated all individual option awards into one group 
as  we  do  not  expect  substantial  differences  in 
exercise  behavior  among  its  employees.  The 
expected  volatility  is  a  measure  of  the  amount 
by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate 
during  the  expected  term  of  options  granted. 
We  determined  the  expected  volatility  based 
upon  the  historical  volatility  of  our  common 
stock  over  a  period  commensurate  with  the 
option’s expected term, exclusive of any events 
not  reasonably  anticipated  to  recur  over  the 
option’s  expected  term.  The  risk-free  interest 
rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury 
zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal 
to the option’s expected term on the grant date. 
We  have  never  declared  or  paid  any  cash  divi-
dends  on  any  of  our  capital  stock  and  do  not 
expect  to  do  so  in  the  foreseeable  future. 
Accordingly, we use an expected dividend yield 
of zero to calculate the grant-date fair value of a 
stock option.

We  recognize  compensation  expense  on  a 
straight-line  basis  over  the  requisite  service 
period  based  upon  options  that  are  ultimately 
expected  to  vest,  and  accordingly,  such  com-
pensation  expense  has  been  adjusted  by  an 
amount of estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures rep-
resent  only  the  unvested  portion  of  a  surren-
dered option. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures 
to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, 
if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual for-
feitures differ from those estimates. Prior to the 
adoption  of  SFAS  No.  123R,  we  accounted  for 

forfeitures upon occurrence as permitted under 
SFAS No. 123. Based on an analysis of historical 
data,  we  have  calculated  an  8%  annual  forfei-
ture rate for non-director level employees, a 3% 
annual  forfeiture  rate  for  director  level  employ-
ees, and a 0% forfeiture rate for non-employee 
members  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  which  we  
believe  is  a  reasonable  assumption  to  estimate 
forfeitures.  However,  the  estimation  of  forfei-
tures  requires  significant  judgment,  and  to  the 
extent actual results or updated estimates differ 
from  our  current  estimates,  such  amounts  will 
be  recorded  as  a  cumulative  adjustment  in  the 
period estimates are revised.

Prior to April 1, 2006, we applied the pro forma 
disclosure  requirements  under  SFAS  No.  123 
and  accounted  for  our  stock-based  employee 
compensation  plans  using  the  intrinsic  value 
method under the recognition and measurement 
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opin-
ion  No.  25,  “Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  
to  Employees,”  (“APB  No.  25”)  and  related  
interpretations.  Accordingly,  no  stock-based 
employee compensation cost was recognized in 
the  statement  of  operations  for  the  year  ended 
March  31,  2006,  as  all  stock  options  granted 
under  our  existing  stock  plans  had  an  exercise 
price equal to the market value of the underlying 
common stock on the date of grant.

For the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 
we recorded stock-based compensation expense 
of  approximately  $ 524,0 0 0  and  $ 8 37,0 0 0, 
respectively, for stock options granted under the 
Amended and Restated 2001 Repligen Corpora-
tion Stock Plan.

As of March 31, 2008, there was $1,030,000 of 
total  unrecognized  compensation  cost  related  
to  unvested  share-based  awards.  This  cost  is 
expected to be recognized over a weighted aver-
age  remaining  requisite  service  period  of  2.39 
years.  The  Company  expects  approximately 
539,000  of  unvested  shares  of  common  stock 
pursuant to outstanding options to vest over the 
next five years.

Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunc-
tion with the accompanying financial statements and the related footnotes thereto.

Revenues:  Total  revenue  for  fiscal  2008,  2007  and  2006  were  $19,296,000,  $14,074,000,  and 
$12,911,000,  and  were  primarily  comprised  of  sales  of  our  commercial  products,  Protein  A  and 
SecreFlo®. During fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 sales of our commercial products were:

Substantially all of our products based on recom-
binant  Protein  A  are  sold  to  customers  who 
incorporate our manufactured products into their 
proprietary  antibody  purification  systems  to  be 
sold  directly  to  the  pharmaceutical  industry. 
Monoclonal  antibodies  are  a  well-established 
class  of  drug  with  applications  in  rheumatoid 
arthritis,  asthma,  Crohn’s  disease  and  a  variety 
of  cancers.  Sales  of  Protein  A  are  therefore 
impacted by the timing of large-scale production 
orders and on the regulatory approvals for such 
antibodies, which may result in significant quar-
terly fluctuations.

During fiscal 2008, Protein A sales increased by 
$5,194,000 or 47% over fiscal 2007. We shipped 
45%  more  volume  of  Protein  A  in  fiscal  2008 
compared  to  fiscal  20 07  due  to  increased 
demand  by  our  customers  as  the  monoclonal 
antibody market continues to grow. The increase 
in  volume  predominantly  drove  the  increase  in 
Protein  A  revenue,  with  price  increases  com-
prising the difference. The Company sells differ-
ent Protein A products at different price points. 
The mix of products sold varies and impacts the 
fluctuations  in  total  product  revenue  from  year 
to year.

During fiscal 2007, Protein A sales increased by 
$587,000  or  6%  over  fiscal  2006.  We  shipped 
13%  less  volume  of  Protein  A  in  fiscal  2007 
compared  to  fiscal  2006.  The  decrease  in  vol-
ume however did not reduce revenue compared 

to  fiscal  2006,  as  the  mix  of  products  sold  had 
more  favorable  pricing  resulting  in  a  19%  posi-
tive impact on total product revenue.

We anticipate that sales of Protein A will decline 
moderately  in  fiscal  2009  and  continue  to  be 
subject to quarterly fluctuations due to timing of 
large-scale production orders.

Sales of SecreFlo® increased $319,000 in fiscal 
2008  primarily  as  a  result  of  increased  sales  to 
new customers and higher prices.

Sales of SecreFlo® decreased $42,000 or 2% in 
fiscal  2007  primarily  as  a  result  of  direct  com-
petition  with  ChiRhoClin,  our  sole  supplier  of 
SecreFlo ®  and  reduced  sales  and  marketing 
efforts.  Decreases  in  sales  volume  impacted 
sales  by  1%  of  the  prior  year’s  total.  To  remain 
competitive  with  ChiRhoClin,  we  reduced  sales 
prices,  which  resulted  in  an  unfavorable  impact 
of 1% on SecreFlo® revenues.

The settlement in fiscal 2005 with our sole sup-
plier of SecreFlo® provides for a certain amount 
of  vials  of  product  that  we  can  ultimately  ship. 
The last shipment of SecreFlo® to the Company 
from ChiRhoClin was received in fiscal 2008 and 
is  expected  to  allow  us  to  fill  sales  orders  into 
fiscal 2009. We expect SecreFlo® revenues will 
decline  by  ninety  percent  in  fiscal  2009  as  we 
expect to sell our remaining inventory in the first 
half of the year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations (continued)

During the fiscal 2008 and 2007, we recognized 
$365,000  and  $825,000,  respectively,  of  reve-
nue  from  a  sponsored  research  and  develop-
ment  project  under  a  cost  plus  fixed -fee 
agreement  with  the  Stanley  Medical  Research 
Institute  (“SMRI”).  During  fiscal  2008,  we  rec-
ognized $100,000 under an agreement with the  
Friedreich’s  Ataxia  Research  Alliance.  Research 
revenue  is  recognized  for  costs  plus  fixed-fee  

contracts as costs are incurred. Additionally, dur-
ing fiscal 2008 and 2007, we earned and recog-
nized  approximately  $244,000  and  $175,000, 
respectively, in royalty revenue from ChiRhoClin. 
We expect that total research and license reve-
nues will decrease slightly in fiscal 2009 as we 
conclude our SMRI agreement. Royalty revenues 
should increase significantly as we will begin to 
receive  payments  from  Bristol  as  a  result  of 
sales of their Orencia® product in fiscal 2009.

Costs and Operating Expenses: Total costs and operating expenses for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 
were approximately ($16,596,000), $15,900,000, and $14,131,000, respectively.

The  increase  in  cost  of  product  revenue  of 
$2,545,000 or 70% in fiscal 2008 is attributable 
primarily to a 42% increase in product sales. In 
addition, fiscal 2008 revenue growth was driven 
by lower margin products, resulting in a greater 
increase in cost of product revenue. Specifically, 
these  newer  products  are  produced  on  a  lower 
scale,  resulting  in  higher  overall  production  and 
quality costs per unit sold. Further, depreciation 
costs  have  increased  $197,000  associated  with 
expansion of our fermentation facility, and occu-
pancy costs have increased $136,000 due to our 
expanded facilities.

The  increase  in  cost  of  product  revenue  of 
$64,000  or  2%  in  fiscal  2007  is  attributable  to 
several  factors.  These  include  a  decrease  in 
Protein  A  material  costs  of  $267,000  related  to 
lower  volume  of  Protein  A  production  in  fiscal 
2007  compared  to  fiscal  2006  and  lower  costs 
of  $39,000  related  to  SecreFlo®  sales.  These 
decreases  were  offset  by  an  increase  of  

$163,000  in  consulting  costs  and  a  $128,000 
increase  in  occupancy  and  depreciation  costs. 
Consulting,  occupancy  and  depreciation  costs 
increased  due  to  the  costs  associated  with  
implementation  of  our  fermentation  facility  in 
fiscal 2007, as well as spending to improve our 
quality and redundancy systems to meet cus-
tomer  expectations.  Additionally,  we  incurred 
$26,000  in  stock-based  compensation  expense 
pursuant to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R and 
had an increase in labor costs of $147,000 com-
pared to fiscal 2006.

Research  and  development  costs  primarily 
include  costs  of  internal  personnel,  external 
research  collaborations,  clinical  trials  and  the 
costs  associated  with  the  manufacturing  and 
testing  of  clinical  materials.  We  currently  have 
ongoing  research  and  development  programs 
that  support  our  product  candidates  of  secretin 
and  uridine.  In  addition,  we  are  involved  with  a 
number  of  early  stage  programs  that  may  or  

F-16

F-17

 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations (continued)

may not be further developed. Due to the small 
size of the Company and the fact that these vari-
ous  programs  share  personnel  and  fixed  costs 
such as facility costs, depreciation, and supplies, 
we do not track all our expenses by program.

Each of our research and development programs 
is  subject  to  risks  and  uncertainties,  including 
the  requirement  to  seek  regulatory  approvals  
that are outside of our control. For example, our 
clinical trials may be subject to delays based on 
our inability to enroll patients at the rate that we 
expect  to  meet  the  schedule  for  our  planned 
clinical  trials.  Moreover,  the  product  candidates 
identified  in  these  research  programs,  particu-
larly in our early stage programs must overcome 
significant  technological,  manufacturing  and 
marketing  challenges  before  they  can  be  suc-
cessfully  commercialized.  For  example,  results 
from  our  preclinical  animal  models  may  not  be 
replicated in our clinical trials with humans. As a 
result  of  these  risks  and  uncertainties,  we  are 
unable to predict with any certainty the period in 
which material net cash inflows from such proj-
ects  could  be  expected  to  commence  or  the 
completion date of these programs.

These  risks  and  uncertainties  also  prevent  us 
from  estimating  with  any  certainty  the  specific 
timing  and  future  costs  of  our  research  and 
development  programs,  although  historical 
trends within the industry suggest that expenses 
tend to increase in later stages of development. 
Collaborations  with  commercial  vendors  and 
academic researchers accounted for 45%, 40%, 
and  36%  of  our  research  and  development 
expenses for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respec-
tively. The outsourcing of such services provides 
us flexibility to discontinue or increase spending 
depending  on  the  success  of  our  research  and 
development programs.

Research and development expenses increased 
by $1,316,000, or 22%, during fiscal 2008. This 
increase  is  largely  attributable  to  a  $1,133,000 
increase  in  spending  related  to  Friedreich’s  

ataxia as we continue to search for a drug candi-
date.  This  increase  in  spending  for  Friedreich’s 
ataxia  includes  $300,000  relating  to  common 
stock  issued  to  the  Scripps  Research  Institute 
and its designees for the acquisition of a license 
to  use,  commercialize  and  sublicense  certain 
patented technology and improvements thereon, 
owned or licensed by Scripps. Spending related 
to  uridine  for  bipolar  disorder  also  increased  
$261,000  as  we  continue  our  Phase  2  trials. 
Spending related to secretin for diagnostic imag-
ing decreased by $54,000 as we completed our 
Phase 2 trial and begin preparations for Phase 3 
in early fiscal 2009.

Research and development expenses increased 
by  $761,000,  or  15%,  during  fiscal  2007.  This 
increase  is  largely  attributable  to  higher  clinical 
trial  expenses  of  $959,000,  as  the  Company 
enrolled  the  majority  of  the  patients  in  our  two 
clinical trial programs for uridine for bipolar disor-
der  and  secretin  for  diagnostic  imaging.  Addi-
tionally, there were increased personnel expenses 
of  $66,000  due  to  a  slightly  higher  headcount. 
The  Company  incurred  stock-based  compensa-
tion  expense  pursuant  to  the  adoption  of  SFAS 
No.  123R  in  fiscal  2007  of  $229,000.  These 
increases  were  offset  by  reductions  in  external 
research  expenses  of  $465,000.  This  was  due 
to  a  reduction  in  activities  related  to  secretin 
drug manufacturing compared to fiscal 2006.

Future research and development expenses are 
dependent  on  a  number  of  variables,  including 
the cost and design of clinical trials and external 
costs  such  as  manufacturing  of  clinical  materi-
als.  We  expect  our  research  and  development 
expenses in fiscal 2009 to increase due to clin-
ical  trial  expenses  as  we  continue  studies  of 
secretin  for  diagnostic  imaging,  continue  drug 
manufacturing  activities  for  secretin  and  begin 
the  Friedreich’s  ataxia  research  and  develop-
ment  program  which  was  recently  licensed  by 
us.  Additionally, there may be further increases 
in  expenses  if  we  acquire  additional  product 
candidates.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses 
(SG&A)  include  the  associated  costs  with  sell-
ing our commercial products and costs required 
to support our research and development efforts 
including  legal,  accounting,  patent,  shareholder 
services  and  other  administrative  functions.  In 
addition,  SG & A  expenses  have  historically 
included costs associated with various litigation 
matters.

During  fiscal  2008,  SG&A  costs  increased  by 
approximately $3,813,000 or 60%. This increase 
was mainly the result of $3,361,000 incremental 
litigation  costs  associated  with  our  patent 
infringement  lawsuits  against  Bristol  and  other 
patent  prosecution  costs.  As  noted  below,  the 
Company also incurred an additional $13,830,000 
of  litigation  costs  associated  with  the  ImClone 
settlement.  The  Company  also  incurred  addi-
tional  recruiting  and  related  costs  of  $263,000 
due  to  the  turnover  of  certain  board  of  director 
and employee positions.

During  fiscal  2007,  SG&A  costs  increased  by 
approximately  $943,000  or  17%.  This  increase 
was  mainly  the  result  of  the  stock-based  com-
pensation  expense  recorded  pursuant  to  the 
adoption of SFAS No. 123R of $582,000 and per-
sonnel  expenses  which  increased  by  $287,000 
due  to  compensation  and  benefit  increases. 
Investor relation expenses also increased $78,000 
due  to  expanded  outreach  to  the  investment 
community.  Legal  expenses  were  consistent 
with  fiscal  2006  as  we  continue  to  prosecute 
patent infringement lawsuits against Bristol and 
ImClone.

Net Gain From Litigation Settlement: On Septem-
ber 10, 2007, Repligen and MIT entered into the 
ImClone  Settlement  relating  to  the  lawsuit  
against  ImClone  for  infringement  of  the  ‘281  
patent.  Pursuant  to  the  ImClone  Settlement, 
ImClone  made  a  payment  of  $ 65  million  to 
Repligen and MIT that resulted in net proceeds 
to Repligen of $40,170,000 after litigation costs 
of  $13,8 3 0,0 0 0  and  proceeds  to  MIT  of 
$11,000,000. The ImClone Settlement served 
as  the  basis  to  dismiss  the  lawsuit  against 
ImClone  and  for  Repligen  to  grant  ImClone  a 
non-exclusive sublicense to the ‘281 patent and 
certain other intellectual property.

Investment Income: Investment income includes 
income  earned  on  invested  cash  balances.  
Investment  income  for  fiscal  2008,  2007  and 
2006 was approximately $2,051,000, $948,000 
and  $750,000,  respectively.  The  increase  of 
$1,104,000 or 116% in fiscal 2008 is attributable 
to higher overall cash and marketable securities, 
up  $37,962,000  due  primarily  to  the  proceeds 
from  the  ImClone  litigation.  The  increase  of 
$198,000 or 21% in fiscal 2007 is attributable to 
higher interest rates. We expect interest income 
to vary based on changes in the amount of funds 
invested and fluctuation of interest rates.

Provision  for  Income  Taxes:  As  a  result  of  the 
significant increase in net income in fiscal 2008, 
the Company was liable for Alternative Minimum 
Tax, for which net operating loss carryforwards 
are only partially deductible. As a result, the com-
pany had an effective tax rate of 2% as we pro-
vided $827,000 for income taxes in fiscal 2008.

We expect SG&A expenses to decrease signifi-
cantly in fiscal 2009 due to anticipated decreases 
in litigation expenses as the Bristol and ImClone 
cases have been successfully concluded, offset 
by slightly higher headcount and related person-
nel expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations primarily through 
sales of equity securities, revenues derived from 
product  sales,  grants,  and  proceeds  from  liti-
gation  settlements.  Our  revenue  for  the  fore-
seeable  future  will  be  limited  to  our  Protein  A  

F-18

F-19

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations (continued)

product  revenue,  royalties  from  Bristol,  and  
research  and  development  grants.  Revenues 
derived  from  the  sales  of  SecreFlo™  vials  are 
expected  only  through  March  2009.  Given  the 
uncertainties  related  to  pharmaceutical  product 
development, we are currently unable to reliably  
estimate  when,  if  ever,  our  therapeutic  product 
candidates or our patents will generate revenue 
and cash flows.

At  March  31,  2008,  we  had  cash  and  market-
able  securities  of  $ 60,589,000  compared  to 
$22,627,000  at  March  31,  2007.  Deposits  for 
leased  office  space  of  $200,000  is  classified  
as  restricted  cash  and  is  not  included  in  cash 
and  marketable  securities  total  for  either  2008 
or 2007.

Operating  Activities:  In  fiscal  2008,  our  operat-
ing activities provided cash of $38,467,000 which 
reflects net income of approximately $37,107,000 
which  includes  non - cash  charges  totaling 
approximately  $1,659,000  including  deprecia-
tion,  amortization,  stock-based  compensation 
charges  and  the  acquisition  of  the  Scripps 
license for stock. The remaining cash flow from 
operations resulted from unfavorable changes in 
various working capital accounts.

In  fiscal  2007,  our  operating  activities  provided 
cash  of  $405,000  which  reflects  a  net  loss  of 
approximately  $889,000  which  includes  non-
cash charges totaling approximately $1,376,000 
including  depreciation,  amortization  and  stock-
based  compensation  charges.  The  remaining 
cash  flow  from  operations  resulted  from  unfa-
vorable  changes  in  various  working  capital 
accounts.

Investing Activities: In fiscal 2008, our investing 
activities consumed $14,229,000 of cash, which 
is  primarily  due  to  net  purchases  of  marketable 
equity securities of $13,126,000. We also spent 
$1,103,000  in  capital  expenditures  as  we  con-
tinue to upgrade both our research and develop-
ment  and  manufacturing  capabilities.  In  fiscal 
2007, investing activities included capital spend-
ing of $1,327,000 mainly related to the new fer-
mentation  facility  in  Waltham,  Massachusetts. 
We  place  our  marketable  security  investments 
in high quality credit instruments as specified in 
our investment policy guidelines.

Financing Activities: In fiscal 2008, exercises of 
stock options provided cash receipts of $638,000. 
In  fiscal  2007,  exercises  of  stock  options  pro-
vided cash proceeds of $158,000.

Off-Balance  Sheet  Arrangements:  We  do  not 
have any special purpose entities or off-balance 
sheet financing arrangements.

(1) This amount represents minimum commitments due under a third-party manufacturing agreement.
(2) These amounts include payments for license, supply and consulting agreements.

Capital Requirements: Our future capital require-
ments  will  depend  on  many  factors,  including 
the following:

•   the success of our clinical studies;

•   the  scope  of  and  progress  made  in  our 

research and development activities;

•   our  ability  to  acquire  additional  product 

candidates;

•   the success of any proposed financing efforts; 

and

•   the  ability  to  sustain  sales  and  profits  of  our 

commercial products.

Absent an acquisition of another product candi-
date,  we  believe  our  current  cash  balances  are 
adequate to meet our cash needs for at least the 
next twenty-four months. We expect to incur an 
increased  level  of  expense  in  fiscal  2009  com-
pared  to  those  incurred  in  fiscal  2008.  This  is 
due  to  anticipated  increases  in  clinical  study 
expenses  as  well  as  increased  personnel 
expenses, offset by decreased legal fees as we 
have successfully concluded our litigation activi-
ties. Our future capital requirements include, but 
are  not  limited  to,  continued  investment  in  our 
research  and  development  programs,  capital 
expenditures  primarily  associated  with  pur-
chases of equipment and continued investment 
in our intellectual property portfolio.

We  plan  to  continue  to  invest  in  key  research 
and development activities. We continue to seek 
to  acquire  such  potential  assets  that  may  offer 
us  the  best  opportunity  to  create  value  for  our 
shareholders.  In  order  to  acquire  such  assets, 
we  may  need  to  seek  additional  financing  to 
fund  these  investments.  This  may  require  the 
issuance  or  sale  of  additional  equity  or  debt 
securities.  The  sale  of  additional  equity  may 
result  in  additional  dilution  to  our  stockholders. 
Should we need to secure additional financing to 
acquire  a  product,  fund  future  investment  in 
research  and  development,  or  meet  our  future 
liquidity  requirements,  we  may  not  be  able  to  
secure  such  financing,  or  obtain  such  financing 
on favorable terms because of the volatile nature 
of the biotechnology marketplace.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards: At March 31, 
2008,  we  had  net  operating  loss  carryforwards 
of  approximately  $ 63,517,000,  research  and 
development  credit  carryforwards  of  approx-
imately  $2,205,000,  and  other  tax  credits  of 
$733,000  available  to  reduce  future  federal 
income taxes, if any. The net operating loss and 
tax  credit  carryforwards  will  begin  to  and  will 
continue to expire at various dates, beginning in 
fiscal  2009,  if  not  used.  Net  operating  loss  car-
ryforwards  and  available  tax  credits  are  subject 
to review and possible adjustment by the Internal

Revenue Service and may be limited in the event 
of  certain  changes  in  the  ownership  interest  of 
significant stockholders. We did not record a tax 
provision  in  fiscal  2007  and  2006  statement  of 
operations  as  we  did  not  generate  taxable 
income. In fiscal 2008, we utilized our net oper-
ating  loss  carryforwards  to  reduce  our  income 
tax provision.

Effects of Inflation: Our assets are primarily mon-
etary,  consisting  of  cash,  cash  equivalents  and 
marketable securities. Because of their liquidity, 
these  assets  are  not  directly  affected  by  infla-
tion.  Since  we  intend  to  retain  and  continue  to 
use  our  equipment,  furniture  and  fixtures  and 
leasehold  improvements,  we  believe  that  the 
incremental  inflation  related  to  replacement 
costs of such items will not materially affect our 
operations. However, the rate of inflation affects 
our expenses, such as those for employee com-
pensation  and  contract  services,  which  could 
increase  our  level  of  expenses  and  the  rate  at 
which we use our resources.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In  December  2007,  the  Financial  Accounting 
Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  SFAS  No. 
141( R ) ,  “Business  Combinations”  ( “SFAS 
141(R)”)  and  SFAS  No.  160,  “Accounting  and  
Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consoli-
dated  Financial  Statements—an  amendment  of 
ARB  No.  51”  (“SFAS  160”).  These  standards 
will  significantly  change  the  accounting  and 
reporting for business combination transactions 
and  noncontrolling  (minority)  interests  in  finan-
cial  statements,  including  capitalizing  at  the 
acquisition  date  the  fair  value  acquired  in  pro-
cess  research  and  development  projects,  and 
remeasuring  and  writing  down  these  assets,  if 
necessary,  in  subsequent  periods  during  their 
development. The new standards will be applied 
prospectively  for  business  combinations  that 
occur for the Company on or after April 1, 2009,  

except that presentation and disclosure require-
ments of SFAS 160 regarding minority interests 
shall be applied retrospectively.

In  December  2007,  the  FASB  ratified  EITF  No. 
07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Agreements” 
(“EITF  07-1”).  EITF  07-1  provides  guidance 
regarding  financial  statement  presentation  and 
disclosure  of  collaborative  arrangements,  as 
defined,  which  includes  arrangements  the 
Company  has  entered  into  regarding  develop-
ment  and  commercialization  of  products.  EITF 
07-1  is  effective  for  the  Company  as  of  April  1, 
2009.  The  Company  has  not  yet  completed  its 
evaluation  of  EITF  07-1,  but  does  not  currently 
believe that adoption will have a material impact 
on its results of operations, financial position or 
cash flows.

In  June  2007,  the  FASB  ratified  EITF  No.  07-3, 
“Accounting  for  Nonrefundable  Advance 
Payments  for  Goods  or  Services  to  Be  Used  in 
Future  Research  and  Development  Activities” 
(“EITF  07-3”),  which  requires  that  nonrefund-
able  advance  payments  for  goods  and  services 
that  will  be  used  or  rendered  in  future  R&D 
activities  pursuant  to  executory  contractual 
arrangements be deferred and recognized as an 
expense in the period that the related goods are 
delivered  or  services  are  performed.  EITF  No. 
07-3 is effective for the Company as of April 1,  
2008.  The  Company  has  not  yet  completed  its 
evaluation  of  EITF  07-3,  but  does  not  currently 
believe that adoption will have a material impact 
on its results of operations, financial position or 
cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB State-
ment No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Finan-
cial  Assets  and  Financial  Liabilities”  (SFAS  No. 
159). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an 
option  to  report  selected  financial  assets  and 
liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 
159  is  to  reduce  both  complexity  in  accounting

We  generally  place  our  marketable  security 
investments  in  high  quality  credit  instruments, 
as specified in our investment policy guidelines. 
A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in inter-
est  rates  would  result  in  an  approximate 
$209,000 decrease in the fair value of our invest-
ments as of March 31, 2008. However, the con-
servative  nature  of  our  investments  mitigates 
our  interest  rate  exposure,  and  our  investment 
policy  limits  the  amount  of  our  credit  exposure 
to  any  one  issue,  issuer  (with  the  exception  of 
U.S.  treasury  obligations)  and  type  of  instru-
ment. We do not expect any material loss from 
our  marketable  security  investments  due  to 
interest  rate  fluctuations  and  therefore  believe 
that  our  potential  interest  rate  exposure  is  lim-
ited.  We  intend  to  hold  these  investments  to 
maturity, in accordance with our business plans.

for  financial  instruments  and  the  volatility  in 
earnings  caused  by  measuring  related  assets 
and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 is effec-
tive  for  the  Company  as  of  April  1,  2008.  The 
Company  has  not  yet  completed  its  evaluation 
of SFAS No. 159 , but does not currently believe 
that  adoption  will  have  a  material  impact  on  
its  results  of  operations,  financial  position  or 
cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 
157,  “Fair  Value  Measurement”  (“SFAS  157”). 
SFAS  157  defines  fair  value,  provides  guidance 
for  measuring  fair  value  in  U.S.  generally 
accepted accounting principles and expands dis-
closures  about  fair  value  measurements.  SFAS 
157  is  effective  for  the  Company  as  of  April  1, 
2008.  The  Company  has  not  yet  completed  its 
evaluation  of  SFAS  157,  but  does  not  currently 
believe that adoption will have a material impact 
on its results of operations, financial position or 
cash flows.

potential  loss  from  market  risks  that  may  occur 
as a result of changes in interest rates, changes 
in credit quality of the issuer or otherwise.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Nature of Business
Repligen Corporation (“Repligen” or the “Com-
pany”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused 
on  the  development  of  novel  therapeutics  
primarily  for  the  treatment  of  diseases  of  the 
central nervous system. A number of drug devel-
opment programs are currently being conducted 
to  evaluate  the  Company’s  drug  candidates  in 
diseases  such  as  pancreatitis,  bipolar  disorder 
and  neurodegeneration.  In  addition,  Repligen 
sells  two  commercial  products,  Protein  A,  for 
monoclonal antibody purification, and SecreFlo®, 
for assessment of pancreatic disorders.

The  Company’s  business  strategy  is  to  deploy 
the profits from its commercial products and any 
revenue  that  it  may  receive  from  its  patents  to 
enable  the  Company  to  invest  in  the  develop-
ment  of  product  candidates  in  the  treatment 
area of neuropsychiatric diseases.

The  Company  is  subject  to  a  number  of  risks 
typically  associated  with  companies  in  the  bio-
technology  industry.  Principally  those  risks  are 
associated with the Company’s dependence on 
collaborative arrangements, development by the 
Company  or  its  competitors  of  new  technologi-
cal  innovations,  dependence  on  key  personnel, 
protection of proprietary technology, compliance 
with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and 
other  governmental  regulations  and  approval 
requirements, as well as the ability to grow the 
Company’s business and obtain adequate fund-
ing to finance this growth.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates
The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  con-
formity  with  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted in the United States requires manage-
ment  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that 
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabili-
ties and disclosure of contingent assets and lia-
bilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements 
and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and 
expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Actual 
results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition
The  Company  applies  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin 
No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 
104”) to its revenue arrangements.

The Company generates product revenues from 
the  sale  of  Protein  A  products  to  customers  in 
the  pharmaceutical  and  process  chromatogra-
phy  industries  and  from  the  sale  of  SecreFlo®  
to  hospital-based  gastroenterologists.  In  accor-
dance  with  SAB  No.  104,  the  Company  recog-
nizes  revenue  related  to  product  sales  upon 
delivery of the product to the customer as long 
as  there  is  persuasive  evidence  of  an  arrange-
ment,  the  sales  price  is  fixed  or  determinable 
and  collection  of  the  related  receivable  is  rea-
sonably  assured.  Determination  of  whether 
these criteria have been met are based on man-
agement’s  judgments  primarily  regarding  the 
fixed nature of the fee charged for product deliv-
ered,  and  the  collectibility  of  those  fees.  The 
Company  has  a  few  longstanding  customers 
who  comprise  the  majority  of  product  revenue 
and  have  excellent  payment  histor y.  The 
Company  has  had  no  significant  write-offs  of 
uncollectible  invoices  in  the  periods  presented. 
Should  changes  in  conditions  cause  manage-
ment  to  determine  that  these  criteria  are  not 
met for certain future transactions, revenue rec-
ognized  for  any  reporting  period  could  be 
adversely affected.

At the time of sale, the Company also evaluates 
the  need  to  accrue  for  warranty  and  sales 
returns.  The  supply  agreements  the  Company 
has  with  its  customers  and  related  purchase 
orders identify the terms and conditions of each 
sale  and  the  price  of  the  goods  ordered.  Due  
to  the  nature  of  the  sales  arrangements,  inven-
tory produced for sale is tested for quality speci-
fications  prior  to  shipment.  Since  the  product  
is manufactured to order and in compliance with 
required  specifications  prior  to  shipment,  the 
likelihood  of  sales  return,  warranty  or  other 
issues  is  largely  diminished.  Sales  returns  and 
warranty  issues  are  infrequent  and  have  had 
nominal  impact  on  the  Company’s  historical  

F-28

F-29

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

financial  statements.  Should  changes  in  condi-
tions cause management to determine that war-
ranty,  returns  or  other  sale-related  reserves  are 
necessary  for  certain  future  transactions,  reve-
nue recognized for any reporting period could be 
adversely affected.

During  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2008 
and  2007,  the  Company  recognized  $365,000 
and  $825,000,  respectively,  of  revenue  from  a 
sponsored  research  and  development  project 
under  an  agreement  with  the  Stanley  Medical 
Research Institute (“SMRI”). In fiscal 2008, the 
Company recognized $100,000 under an agree-
ment  with  the  Friedreich’s  Ataxia  Research 
Alliance.  Research  revenue  is  recognized  on  a 
cost  plus  fixed-fee  basis  when  the  expense  
has  been  incurred  and  services  have  been  per-
formed.  Determination  of  which  costs  incurred 
qualify  for  reimbursement  under  the  terms  of 
the  contractual  agreement  and  the  timing  of 
when  such  costs  were  incurred  involves  the 
judgment  of  management.  The  Company 
believes  its  calculations  are  based  upon  the 
agreed-upon  terms  as  stated  in  the  contracts. 
However,  should  the  estimated  calculations 
change or be challenged, research revenue may 
be adjusted in subsequent periods. The calcula-
tions have not historically changed or been chal-
lenged  and  the  Company  does  not  anticipate 
any subsequent change in its revenue related to 
sponsored research and development projects.

Additionally,  during  fiscal  2008  and  2007,  the 
Company  earned  and  recognized  approximately 
$ 244,000  and  $175,000  in  royalty  revenue, 
respectively, from ChiRhoClin, Inc. (“ChiRhoClin”) 
based  on  their  sales  of  secretin.  Revenues 
earned from ChiRhoClin royalties are recorded in 
the periods when they are earned based on roy-
alty reports sent by ChiRhoClin to the Company.

There  have  been  no  material  changes  to  the 
Company’s  initial  estimates  related  to  revenue 
recognition  in  any  periods  presented  in  the 
accompanying financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties
The  Company  evaluates  its  operations  periodi-
cally  to  determine  if  any  risks  and  uncertainties 
exist that could impact its operations in the near 
term. The Company does not believe that there 
are  any  significant  risks  which  have  not  already 
been disclosed in the financial statements. A 
loss  of  certain  suppliers  could  temporarily  dis-
rupt  operations,  although  alternate  sources  of 
supply exist for these items. The Company has 
mitigated  these  risks  by  working  closely  with 
key  suppliers,  identifying  alternate  sources  and 
developing contingency plans.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company applies the standards established 
in  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards 
(“SFAS”)  No.  130,  “Reporting  Comprehensive 
Income.” SFAS No. 130 requires disclosure of all 
components  of  comprehensive  income  on  an 
annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income 
is defined as the change in equity of a business 
enterprise during a period from transactions and 
other events and circumstances from nonowner 
sources. The Company’s comprehensive income 
(loss)  is  equal  to  its  reported  net  income  (loss) 
for all periods presented.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The Company applies the standards established 
in SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Invest-
ments in Debt and Equity Securities.” At March 
31,  2008,  the  majority  of  the  Company’s  cash 
equivalents  and  marketable  securities  are  clas-
sified  as  held-to-maturity  investments  as  the 
Company  has  the  positive  intent  and  ability  to 
hold to maturity. As a result, these investments 
are  recorded  at  amortized  cost.  Marketable 
securities  are  investments  with  original  maturi-
ties of greater than 90 days. Long-term market-
able  securities  are  investment  grade  securities 
with maturities of greater than one year.

At March 31, 2008 and 2007, marketable securi-
ties  also  include  investment  grade  auction  rate 
securities,  which  provide  higher  yields  than  

F-30

F-31

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

money market and other cash equivalent invest-
ments.  Auction  rate  securities  have  long-term 
underlying  maturities,  but  have  interest  rates 
that  are  reset  every  90  days  or  less,  at  which 
time the securities can typically be purchased or 
sold.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  hold 
these  securities  to  maturity,  but  rather  to  use 
the  securities  to  provide  liquidity  as  necessary. 
Auction rate securities are classified as available-

for-sale  and  reported  at  fair  value.  Due  to  the 
reset  feature  and  their  carrying  value  equaling 
their  fair  value,  there  are  no  unrealized  gains  or 
losses  from  these  short-term  investments. 
Subsequent  to  March  31,  2008,  the  Company 
successfully  sold  $825,000  of  our  auction  rate 
securities  without  incurring  a  loss,  leaving  only 
$75,000 remaining in our portfolio.

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  marketable  securities  consist  of  the  following  at  March  31,  2008  
and 2007:

Type of Security

Cash and cash equivalents
Marketable securities:
  Auction rate securities
  U.S. Government and agency securities
  Corporate and other debt securities

Long-term marketable securities:
  Corporate and other debt securities

 Total

The average of remaining maturity of long-term 
marketable  securities  at  March  31,  2008  is 
approximately one-and-one-half years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Company’s  finan-
cial  instruments  which  represent  cash,  cash 
equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts 
receivable  generally  approximate  fair  value  due 
to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and  
Significant Customers
Financial instruments that subject the Company 
to significant concentrations of credit risk primar-
ily consist of cash and cash equivalents, market-
able  securities  and  accounts  receivable.  The 
Company’s  cash  equivalents  and  marketable 
securities  are  invested  in  financial  instruments

with  high  credit  ratings  and  by  policy  limits  the 
amount of its credit exposure to any one issue, 
issuer, (with the exception of U.S. treasury obli-
gations)  and  type  of  instrument.  At  March  31, 
2008,  the  Company  has  no  investments  such  
as those associated with foreign exchange con-
tracts,  options  contracts  or  other  foreign  hedg-
ing arrangements.

Concentration  of  credit  risk  with  respect  to 
accounts  receivable  is  limited  to  customers  to 
whom  the  Company  makes  significant  sales. 
The Company maintains reserves for the poten-
tial write-off of accounts receivable. To date, the 
Company  has  not  written  off  any  significant 
accounts.  To  control  credit  risk,  the  Company 
performs  regular  credit  evaluations  of  its  cus-
tomers’ financial condition.

Inventories
Inventories  relate  to  the  Company’s  Protein  A 
business. The Company values inventory at cost 
or, if lower, fair market value. Repligen deter-
mines  cost  using  the  first-in,  first-out  method. 
The  Company  reviews  its  inventories  at  least 
quarterly and records a provision for excess and 
obsolete  inventory  based  on  its  estimates  of 
expected sales volume, production capacity and 
expiration  dates  of  raw  materials,  work-in  pro-
cess and finished products. Expected sales vol-
umes are determined based on supply forecasts 
provided  by  key  customers  for  the  next  three  
to  twelve  months.  The  Company  writes  down 
inventory  that  has  become  obsolete,  inventory 
that  has  a  cost  basis  in  excess  of  its  expected 
net  realizable  value,  and  inventory  in  excess  of 
expected requirements to cost of product reve-
nue. Manufacturing of Protein A finished goods 
is done to order and tested for quality specifica-
tions prior to shipment.

A  change  in  the  estimated  timing  or  amount  of 
demand for the Company’s products could result 
in  additional  provisions  for  excess  inventory 
quantities on hand. Any significant unanticipated 
changes  in  demand  or  unexpected  quality  fail-
ures could have a significant impact on the value

the amount of $824,626, $539,032 and $398,434 
in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Deprecia-
tion includes the depreciation of assets recorded 
under capitalized lease agreements which aggre-
gated  $42,762,  $41,850,  and  $16,268  in  2008,

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company applies the standards established 
in  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard 
(“SFAS”) No. 128, “Presenting Earnings Per 
Share.”  Basic  earnings  (loss)  per  share  for  the 
years  ended  March  31,  2008,  2007  and  2006 
were  computed  on  the  basis  of  the  weighted 
average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock 
outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  earnings 
(loss) per share were computed on the basis of 
the weighted average number of shares of com-
mon  stock  plus  the  effect  of  dilutive  potential 
common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period

using  the  treasury  stock  method  in  accordance 
with  SFAS  No.  128.  Dilutive  potential  common 
shares include outstanding stock options.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for 
the year ended March 31, 2007 does not include 
2,292,750  potential  common  shares  for  stock 
options because to do so would be antidilutive. 
Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2007, 
basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.

For the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2006, 
options  to  purchase  4 4 3,000  and  955,400 
shares  were  excluded  from  the  calculation  of 
diluted earnings per share because the exercise 
prices  of  the  stock  options  were  greater  than  
or equal to the average price of the common 
shares.

Segment Reporting
The Company applies the standards established 
in SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments 
of an Enterprise and Related Information.” SFAS 
No. 131 establishes standards for reporting infor-
mation  regarding  operating  segments  in  annual 
financial statements and requires selected infor-
mation  for  those  segments  to  be  presented  in 
interim financial reports issued to stockholders. 

SFAS  No.  131  also  establishes  standards  for 
related disclosures about products and services 
and geographic areas. The chief operating deci-
sion maker, or decision-making group, in making 
decisions how to allocate resources and assess 
performance,  identifies  operating  segments  as 
components of an enterprise about which sepa-
rate discrete financial information is available for 
evaluation.  To  date,  the  Company  has  viewed  
its operations and manages its business as one 
operating  segment.  As  a  result,  the  financial 
information  disclosed  herein  represents  all  of 
the  material  financial  information  related  to  the 
Company’s principal operating segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In  December  2007,  the  Financial  Accounting 
Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  SFAS  No. 
141( R ) ,  “Business  Combinations”  ( “SFAS 
141(R)”)  and  SFAS  No.  160,  “Accounting  and 
Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consoli-
dated  Financial  Statements—an  amendment  of 
ARB  No.  51”  (“SFAS  160”).  These  standards 
will  significantly  change  the  accounting  and 
reporting for business combination transactions 

F-32

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

and  noncontrolling  (minority)  interests  in  finan-
cial  statements,  including  capitalizing  at  the 
acquisition date the fair value of acquired in pro-
cess  research  and  development  projects,  and 
remeasuring  and  writing  down  these  assets,  if 
necessary,  in  subsequent  periods  during  their 
development. The new standards will be applied 
prospectively  for  business  combinations  that 
occur for the Company on or after April 1, 2009, 
except that presentation and disclosure require-
ments of SFAS 160 regarding minority interests 
shall be applied retrospectively.

In  December  2007,  the  FASB  ratified  EITF  No. 
07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Agreements” 
(“EITF 07-1”). EITF 07-1 provides guidance regard-
ing  financial  statement  presentation  and  disclo-
sure  of  collaborative  arrangements,  as  defined, 
which includes arrangements the Company has 
entered  into  regarding  development  and  com-
mercialization of products. EITF 07-1 is effective 
for the Company as of April 1, 2009. The Com-
pany  has  not  yet  completed  its  evaluation  of 
EITF  07-1,  but  does  not  currently  believe  that 
adoption will have a material impact on its results 
of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In  June  2007,  the  FASB  ratified  EITF  No.  07-3, 
“Accounting  for  Nonrefundable  Advance  Pay-
ments  for  Goods  or  Services  to  Be  Used  in 
Future  Research  and  Development  Activities” 
(“EITF  07-3”),  which  requires  that  nonrefund-
able  advance  payments  for  goods  and  services 
that  will  be  used  or  rendered  in  future  R&D 
activities  pursuant  to  executory  contractual 
arrangements be deferred and recognized as an 
expense in the period that the related goods are 
delivered  or  services  are  performed.  EITF  No. 
07-3 is effective for the Company as of April 1, 
2008.  The  Company  has  not  yet  completed  its 
evaluation  of  EITF  07-3,  but  does  not  currently 
believe that adoption will have a material impact 
on its results of operations, financial position or 
cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB State-
ment No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Finan-
cial  Assets  and  Financial  Liabilities”  (SFAS  No. 

159).  SFAS  No.  159  provides  companies  with  
an  option  to  report  selected  financial  assets  
and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 
No. 159 is to reduce both complexity in account-
ing for financial instruments and the volatility in 
earnings  caused  by  measuring  related  assets 
and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 is effec-
tive  for  the  Company  as  of  April  1,  2008.  The 
Company  has  not  yet  completed  its  evaluation 
of SFAS No. 159, but does not currently believe 
that  adoption  will  have  a  material  impact  on  
its  results  of  operations,  financial  position  or 
cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 
157,  “Fair  Value  Measurement”  (“SFAS  157”). 
SFAS  157  defines  fair  value,  provides  guidance 
for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted 
accounting  principles  and  expands  disclosures 
about  fair  value  measurements.  SFAS  157  is 
effective  for  the  Company  as  of  April  1,  2008. 
The Company has not yet completed its evalua-
tion of SFAS 157, but does not currently believe 
that  adoption  will  have  a  material  impact  on  
its  results  of  operations,  financial  position  or 
cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation
In  December  2004,  the  Financial  Accounting 
Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  SFAS  No. 
123R, “Share-Based Payment—An Amendment 
of  FASB  Statements  No.  123  and  95,”  (“SFAS 
No.  123R”),  which  requires  all  companies  to 
measure compensation cost for all share-based 
payments, including employee stock options, at 
fair  value.  Generally,  the  approach  in  SFAS  No. 
123R  is  similar  to  the  approach  described  in 
SFAS  No.  123,  “Accounting  for  Stock-Based 
Compensation,” (“SFAS No. 123”). However, 
SFAS  No.  123R  requires  all  share-based  pay-
ments  to  employees,  including  grants  of 
employee  stock  options,  to  be  recognized  in  
the financial statements based on their fair value 
over  the  requisite  service  period.  Pro  forma  
disclosure  is  no  longer  an  alternative.  In  March 
2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 
( “SA B” )  No.  107  ( “SA B  No.  107” ) ,  which 
expressed  the  views  of  the  SEC  regarding  the 

F-34

F-35

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

interaction  between  SFAS  No.  123(R)  and  cer-
tain  rules  and  regulations  of  the  SEC.  SAB  No. 
107 provides guidance related to the valuation of 
share-based  payment  arrangements  for  public 
companies,  including  assumptions  such  as 
expected volatility and expected term.

Prior  to  the  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  123R,  the 
Company applied SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation,” amended by SFAS 
No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compen-
sation —Transition  and  Disclosure,”  which 
allowed companies to apply the existing account-
ing rules under APB Opinion No. 25. Pursuant to 
APB  Opinion  No.  25,  the  Company  accounted 
for  its  stock-based  awards  to  employees  using 
the  intrinsic-value  method,  under  which  com-
pensation  expense  was  measured  on  the  date 
of grant as the difference between the fair value 
of the Company’s common stock and the option 
exercise  price  multiplied  by  the  number  of 
options granted. Generally, the Company granted 
stock  options  with  exercise  prices  equal  to  the 
fair value of its common stock; however, to the 
extent  that  the  fair  value  of  the  common  stock 
exceeded  the  exercise  price  of  stock  options 
granted  to  employees  on  the  date  of  grant,  the 
Company  recorded  deferred  stock-based  com-
pensation  and  amortized  the  expense  over  the 
vesting  schedule  of  the  options,  generally  four 
years. During the year ended March 31, 2006, in 
accordance  with  APB  Opinion  No.  25,  the 
Company  recorded  deferred  stock-based  com-
pensation  resulting  from  the  grant  of  employee 
stock  options  with  an  exercise  price  less  than 
the fair value of common stock. As of March 31, 
2006,  the  Company  had  $61,950  of  deferred 
stock-based  compensation  remaining  to  be 
amortized. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R 
on April 1, 2006, the deferred stock-based com-
pensation balance was netted against additional 
paid-in  capital  on  the  balance  sheet  and  state-
ment of stockholders’ equity.

The  following  table  illustrates  the  effect  on  net 
income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if 
the  Company  had  applied  the  fair  value  recog-
nition  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  123  to  options 

granted under the Plans for the fiscal year ended 
March  31,  2006.  Since  stock-based  compensa-
tion  expense  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  March 
31,  2008  and  2007  was  calculated  under  the 
provisions of SFAS No. 123R, there is no disclo-
sure  of  pro  forma  net  income  (loss)  and  net 
income  (loss)  per  share  for  those  periods.  For 
purposes of the pro forma disclosure for the fis-
cal  year  ended  March  31,  2006  set  forth  in  the 
table  below,  the  value  of  the  options  is  esti-
mated  using  a  Black-Scholes  option  pricing 
model  and  amortized  on  a  straight-line  basis  to 
expense over the options’ vesting periods.

Effective  April  1,  2006,  the  Company  adopted 
the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 
123R,  using  the  modified  prospective  transition 
method. Under this transition method, compen-
sation cost recognized in the statement of oper-
ations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 
includes:  (a)  compensation  cost  for  all  share-
based  payments  granted  prior  to,  but  not  yet 
vested  as  of  April  1,  2006,  based  on  the  grant-
date fair value estimated in accordance with the 
original  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  123  adjusted  
for  estimated  forfeitures  and  (b)  compensation 
cost for all share-based payments granted, mod-
ified  or  settled  subsequent  to  April  1,  2006, 
based  on  the  grant-date  fair  value  estimated  in 
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  SFAS  No.

123R. In accordance with the modified prospec-
tive  transition  method,  results  for  prior  periods 
have not been restated.

For  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2008  and 
2007, the Company recorded stock-based com-
pensation  expense  of  approximately  $524,000 
and  $837,000,  respectively,  for  stock  options 
granted  under  the  Amended  and  Restated  
2001  Repligen  Corporation  Stock  Plan.  Basic 
and  diluted  earnings  per  share  amounts  for  the 
fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  20 07  were 
decreased  by  $0.03  as  a  result  of  the  adoption 
of SFAS No. 123R.

The Company currently has the following stock-
based employee compensation plans which are 
subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 123R: the 
1992  Repligen  Corporation  Stock  Option  Plan, 
as  amended,  and  the  Amended  and  Restated 
2001  Repligen  Corporation  Stock  Plan  (col-
lectively,  the  “Plans”).  The  1992  Repligen 
Corporation  Stock  Option  Plan  expired  on 
September 14, 2001, though this had no impact 
on  outstanding  option  grants.  Options  granted 
prior to the date of termination remain outstand-
ing  and  may  be  exercised  in  accordance  with 
their terms.

The Plans allow for the granting of incentive and 
nonqualified  options  and  restricted  stock  and 
other equity awards to purchase shares of com-
mon stock. Historically, incentive options granted 
to  employees  under  the  Plans  generally  vested 
over  a  four  to  five-year  period,  with  20%–25% 
vesting  on  the  first  anniversary  of  the  date  of 
grant  and  the  remainder  vesting  in  equal  yearly 
installments  thereafter.  Nonqualified  options 
issued  to  non-employee  directors  and  consul-
tants  under  the  Plans  generally  vest  over  one 
year.  Options  granted  under  the  Plans  have  a 
maximum  term  of  ten  years  from  the  date  of 
grant  and  generally,  the  exercise  price  of  the 
stock  options  equals  the  fair  market  value  of  
the  Company’s  common  stock  on  the  date  of 
grant.  At  March  31,  2008,  options  to  purchase 
1,266,250  shares  of  common  stock  were  out-
standing under the Amended and Restated 2001 
Repligen  Corporation  Plan  and  options  to  pur-
chase  356,500  shares  of  common  stock  were 
outstanding  under  the  1992  Repligen  Corpo-
ration  Stock  Option  Plan.  At  March  31,  2008, 
442,809  shares  were  available  for  future  grant 
under the Amended and Restated 2001 Repligen 
Corporation Stock Plan.

The  Company  uses  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  to  calculate  the  fair  value  on  the  grant 
date of stock-based compensation for stock options granted under the Plans. The fair value of stock 
options granted during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were calculated using 
the following estimated weighted average assumptions:

Expected  Term:  The  expected  term  of  options 
granted represents the period of time for which 
the options are expected to be outstanding and 
is  derived  from  the  Company’s  historical  stock 
option exercise experience and option expiration 
data. For option grants made subsequent to the 
adoption  of  SFAS  No.  123R,  the  expected  life  
of stock options granted is based on the simpli-
fied  method  allowable  under  SAB  No.  107. 

Accordingly,  the  expected  term  is  presumed  to 
be  the  midpoint  between  the  vesting  date  and 
the end of the contractual term. In addition, for 
purposes  of  estimating  the  expected  term,  the 
Company  has  aggregated  all  individual  option 
awards into one group as the Company does not 
expect substantial differences in exercise behav-
ior among its employees.

F-36

F-37

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Expected  Volatility:  The  expected  volatility  is  a 
measure of the amount by which the Company’s 
stock  price  is  expected  to  fluctuate  during  the 
expected term of options granted. The Company 
determines  the  expected  volatility  based  upon 
the  historical  volatility  of  the  Company’s  com-
mon  stock  over  a  period  commensurate  with 
the  option’s  expected  term,  exclusive  of  any 
events  not  reasonably  anticipated  to  recur  over 
the option’s expected term.

Risk-Free  Interest  Rate:  The  risk-free  interest 
rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury 
zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal 
to the option’s expected term on the grant date.

Expected  Dividend  Yield:  The  Company  has 
never  declared  or  paid  any  cash  dividends  on 
any  of  its  capital  stock  and  does  not  expect  to 
do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the 
Company  uses  an  expected  dividend  yield  of 
zero  to  calculate  the  grant-date  fair  value  of  a 
stock option.

The Company recognizes compensation expense 
on a straight-line basis over the requisite service 

period  based  upon  options  that  are  ultimately 
expected  to  vest,  and  accordingly,  such  com-
pensation  expense  has  been  adjusted  by  an 
amount of estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures rep-
resent  only  the  unvested  portion  of  a  surren-
dered option. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures 
to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, 
if  necessary,  in  subsequent  periods  if  actual  
forfeitures  differ  from  those  estimates.  Prior  to 
the  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  123R,  the  Company 
accounted  for  forfeitures  upon  occurrence  as 
permitted  under  SFAS  No.  123.  Based  on  an 
analysis of historical data, the Company has cal-
culated  an  8%  annual  forfeiture  rate  for  non-
director level employees, a 3% annual forfeiture 
rate for director-level employees, and a 0% for-
feiture  rate  for  non-employee  members  of  the 
Board of Directors, which it believes is a reason-
able  assumption  to  estimate  forfeitures.  How-
ever,  the  estimation  of  forfeitures  requires 
significant  judgment,  and  to  the  extent  actual 
results  or  updated  estimates  differ  from  the 
Company’s  current  estimates,  such  amounts 
will  be  recorded  as  a  cumulative  adjustment  in 
the period estimates are revised.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above 
represents  the  total  pre-tax  intrinsic  value  (the 
difference between the closing price of the com-
mon stock on March 31, 2008 of $4.82 and the 
exercise price of each in-the-money option) that 
would have been received by the option holders 
had all option holders exercised their options on 
March 31, 2008.

The  weighted  average  grant  date  fair  value  of 
options  granted  during  the  fiscal  year  ended 
March 31, 2008 was $3.04. The total fair value 
of  stock  options  that  vested  during  the  fiscal 
years  ended  March  31,  2008  and  2007  was 
approximately $494,000 and $869,000, respec-
tively.  The  total  intrinsic  value  of  options  exer-
cised  during  the  years  ended  March  31,  2008, 
2007 and 2006 was $1,672,260, $189,800, and 
$852,152, respectively, determined as of the date 
of  exercise.  The  Company  received  $637,655, 
$158,000 and $339,911 from stock option exer-
cises  during  the  years  ended  March  31,  2008, 
2007 and 2006, respectively.

As of March 31, 2008, there was $1,030,022 of 
total  unrecognized  compensation  cost  related  
to  unvested  share-based  awards.  This  cost  is 
expected to be recognized over a weighted aver-
age  remaining  requisite  service  period  of  2.39 
years.  The  Company  expects  approximately 
539,000  shares  of  common  stock  subject  to 
unvested  outstanding  options  to  vest  over  the 
next five years.

3. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under 
the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for 
Income Taxes.”

The Company’s tax provision for the year ended 
March  31,  2008,  $827,471,  is  comprised  of  a 
current provision for federal income taxes in the 
amount of $736,805 and a current provision for 
state  income  taxes  in  the  amount  of  $90,666. 
The Company did not record a federal or state 
tax  provision  for  the  years  ended  March  31, 
2007 and 2006 since the Company did not gen-
erate taxable income in such years.

At  March  31,  20 08,  the  Company  had  net  
operating  loss  carryforwards  of  approximately 
$63,517,000, business tax credits carryforwards 
of  approximately  $2,205,000,  and  other  tax 
credits  of  approximately  $733,000  available  to 
reduce  future  federal  income  taxes,  if  any. 
Additionally,  at  March  31,  2008  the  Company 
also  had  business  tax  credits  carryforwards  of 
approximately  $2,665,000  available  to  reduce 
future  state  income  taxes,  if  any.  At  March  31, 
2008,  the  Company  had  utilized  all  available 
state  net  operating  loss  carryforwards.  Federal 
net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of  approxi-
mately  $8,482,000  and  $7,533,000  expired  in 
fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net oper-
ating loss and business tax credits carryforwards 
will  continue  to  expire  at  various  dates  through 
March  2026.  The  net  operating  loss  and  busi-
ness  tax  credit  carryforwards  are  subject  to 
review  and  possible  adjustment  by  the  Internal 
Revenue Service and may be limited in the event 
of  certain  changes  in  the  ownership  interest  of 
significant stockholders.

The deferred tax assets consist of the following:

At  March  31,  2008  and  2007,  a  full  valuation

tax assets, as it is uncertain if the Company will 
realize the benefits of such deferred tax assets.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, 
an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting 
for Income Taxes,” on April 1, 2007. FIN 48 clari-
fies  the  accounting  for  uncertainty  in  income 
taxes  recognized  in  an  enterprise’s  financial 
statements  in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  109 
and prescribes a recognition threshold and mea-
surement process for financial statement recog-
nition and measurement of a tax position taken 
or  expected  to  be  taken  in  a  tax  return.  FIN  48 
also  provides  guidance  on  de-recognition,  clas-
sification,  interest  and  penalties,  accounting  in 
interim periods, disclosure and transition. At the 
adoption  date  and  as  of  March  31,  2008,  the 
Company had no material unrecognized tax ben-
efits  and  no  adjustments  to  liabilities  or  opera-
tions were required.

The Company may from time to time be assessed 
interest  or  penalties  by  major  tax  jurisdictions. 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties 
related  to  uncertain  tax  positions  in  income  tax 
expense.  No  interest  and  penalties  have  been 
recognized by the Company to date.

Fiscal  years  2005  through  2008  are  subject  to 
examination  by  the  federal  and  state  taxing 
authorities.  There  are  no  income  tax  examina-
tions currently in process.

4. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock and Warrants
At  March  31,  2008,  the  Company  has  reserved 
2,065,559 shares of common stock pursuant to 
the  Plans.  As  discussed  in  Note  11,  on  April  6, 
2007,  the  Company  issued  warrants  to  an  indi-
vidual  at  Scripps  to  purchase  up  to  150,000 
shares  of  common  stock.  The  warrants  have  a 
7-year term and are exercisable based on perfor-
mance criteria as detailed in the warrant agree-
ment.  At  this  time,  the  Company  does  not 
believe  that  the  performance  criteria  are  proba-
ble of being achieved in the near future.

Shareholder Rights Plan
In March 2003, the Company adopted a Share-
holder  Rights  Agreement  (the  “Rights  Agree-
ment”).  Under  the  Rights  Agreement,  the 
Company  distributed  certain  rights  to  acquire 
shares of the Company’s Series A junior partici-
pating  preferred  stock  (the  “Rights”)  as  a  divi-
dend  for  each  share  of  common  stock  held  of 
record as of March 17, 2003. Each share of com-
mon  stock  issued  after  the  March  17,  2003 
record date has an attached Right. Under certain 
conditions involving an acquisition by any person 
or group of 15% or more of the common stock, 
each  Right  permits  the  holder  (other  than  the 
15% holder) to purchase common stock having  

F-38

F-39

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

a value equal to twice the exercise price of the 
Right, upon payment of the exercise price of the 
Right.  In  addition,  in  the  event  of  certain  busi-
ness combinations after an acquisition by a per-
son  or  group  of  15%  or  more  of  the  common 
stock (20% in the case of a certain stockholder), 
each  Right  entitles  the  holder  (other  than  the 
15%  holder)  to  receive,  upon  payment  of  the 
exercise  price,  common  stock  having  a  value 
equal  to  twice  the  exercise  price  of  the  Right. 
The Rights have no voting privileges and, unless 
and until they become exercisable, are attached 
to, and automatically trade with, the Company’s 
common  stock.  The  Rights  will  terminate  upon 
the  earlier  of  the  date  of  their  redemption  or 
March 2013.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments
In  2001,  the  Company  entered  into  a  ten-year 
lease  agreement  for  approximately  25,000 
square feet of space located in Waltham, Massa-
chusetts to be used for its corporate headquar-
ters, manufacturing, research and development, 
and  marketing  and  administrative  operations.  
In  connection  with  this  lease  agreement,  the 
Company issued a letter of credit in the amount 
of  $200,000  to  the  lessor.  The  letter  of  credit  
is  collateralized  by  a  certificate  of  deposit  held 
by the bank that issued the letter of credit. The 
certificate  of  deposit  is  classified  as  restricted 
cash  in  the  accompanying  balance  sheet  as  of 
March 31, 2008 and 2007. In 2007, the Company 
entered  into  a  five-year  lease  agreement  for 
2,500 square feet of space in Waltham, Massa-
chusetts to provide for expanded manufacturing 
operations.

In fiscal 2006, the Company entered into a capi-
tal  lease  agreement  to  provide  the  Company 
with manufacturing equipment. Repligen received 
approximately  $171,000  in  equipment  financing 
over  a  five-year  period.  In  fiscal  2005,  the 
Company  entered  into  two  capital  lease  agree-
ments to provide the Company with two pieces 
of  office  equipment.  Repligen  received  approx-
imately  $33,000  in  equipment  financing.  The 

lease terms are three and five years beginning in 
June and October of 2004, respectively. Capital 
lease  obligations  are  recorded  in  accrued  liabili-
ties  and  long-term  liabilities  in  the  Company’s 
balance sheets.

Obligations  under  non-cancelable  operating 
leases, including the facility leases discussed 
above, and capital equipment leases as of March 
31, 2008 are as follows:

year  ended  March  31,  2008  and,  $452,000  for 
the  years  ended  March  31,  2007  and  2006, 
respectively. As of March 31,  2008  and 2007, 
the  Company  had  deferred  rent  liability  of 
$118,900  and  $119,000,  respectively  related  to 
the  escalating  rent  provisions  for  our  Waltham 
headquarters.

Licensing and Research Agreements
The Company licenses certain technologies that 
are, or may be, incorporated into its technology 
under several agreements and also has entered 
into  several  clinical  research  agreements  which 
require  the  Company  to  fund  certain  research 
projects.  Generally,  the  license  agreements 
require the Company to pay annual maintenance  

F-40

F-41

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

fees and royalties on product sales once a prod-
uct has been established using the technologies. 
As  more  fully  discussed  in  Note  11  to  these 
financial statements, in April 2007 the Company 
entered into an exclusive license agreement with 
the Scripps Research Institute. The initial license 
fee under this agreement aggregated $600,000 
in a combination of cash and Company common 
stock  and  was  charged  to  research  and  devel-
opment  expenses  in  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2008.  The  Company  has  recorded  as  research 
and development expenses the payments asso-
ciated  with  license  agreements  in  the  amount  
of $ 681,000, $ 87,000, and $114,000 for the 
years  ended  March  31,  2008,  2007  and  2006, 
respectively.

Purchase Orders, Supply Agreements and  
Other Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, the Company 
has  entered  into  purchase  orders  and  other 
agreement with manufacturers, distributors and 
others.  Outstanding  obligations  at  March  31, 
2008  aggregated  approximately  $1,113,000  
and are expected to be substantially completed 
within one year.

7. Accrued Liabilities
The  Company  prepares  its  financial  statements 
in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  gen-
erally  accepted  in  the  United  States.  These  
principles  require  that  the  Company  estimate  
accrued liabilities. This process involves identify-
ing services, which have been performed on the 

Company’s  behalf,  and  estimating  the  level  of 
service  performed  and  the  associated  cost 
incurred  for  such  service  as  of  each  balance 
sheet  date.  Examples  of  estimated  accrued 
expenses include: 1) Fees paid to contract man-
ufacturers in conjunction with the production of 
clinical  materials.  These  expenses  are  normally 
determined through a contract or purchase order 
issued by the Company; 2) Service fees paid to 
organizations  for  their  performance  in  conduct-
ing  clinical  trials.  These  expenses  are  deter-
mined  by  contracts  in  place  for  those  services 
and  communications  with  project  managers  on 
costs  which  have  been  incurred  as  of  each 
reporting  date;  3)  Professional  and  consulting 
fees incurred with law firms, audit and account-
ing  service  providers  and  other  third-party  con-
sultants.  These  expenses  are  determined  by 
either requesting those service providers to esti-
mate unbilled services at each reporting date for 
services  incurred,  or  tracking  costs  incurred  by 
service providers under fixed fee arrangements. 
The  Company  has  processes  in  place  to  esti-
mate  the  appropriate  amounts  to  record  for 
accrued  liabilities,  which  principally  involve  the 
applicable  personnel  reviewing  the  services  
provided.  In  the  event  that  the  Company  does 
not  identify  certain  costs  which  have  begun  to 
be  incurred  or  the  Company  under-  or  over- 
estimates the level of services performed or the 
costs  of  such  services,  the  reported  expenses 
for that period may be too low or too high. The 
date  on  which  certain  services  commence,  the 
level of services performed on or before a given 
date,  and  the  cost  of  such  services  are  often 
judgmental.  The  Company  makes  these  judg-
ments based upon the facts and circumstances 
known at the date of the financial statements.

A  change  in  the  estimated  cost  or  volume  of 
services  provided  could  result  in  additional 
accrued  liabilities.  Any  significant  unanticipated 
changes  in  such  estimates  could  have  a  sig-
nificant  impact  on  our  accrued  liabilities  and  
reported  operating  results.  There  have  been  no 
material adjustments to our accrued liabilities in 
any of the periods presented in the accompany-
ing financial statements.

In  February  2004,  the  Company  terminated  its 
Licensing  Agreement  with  ChiRhoClin,  Inc. 
(“ChiRhoClin”). On May 9, 2005, Repligen entered 
into  a  Settlement  Agreement  with  ChiRhoClin, 
in full settlement of their arbitration proceedings 
described below. Repligen determined that it was 
not required to pay approximately $1,170,000 of 
unremitted and accrued royalties to ChiRhoClin. 
This was recorded as other income in the quar-
ter  ended  June  30,  2005.  Under  the  terms  of 
the Settlement Agreement, Repligen also received 
a  payment  of  $750,000  and  is  entitled  to  con-
tinue to market SecreFlo® under a royalty struc-
ture  more  favorable  to  Repligen  than  under  the 
Licensing Agreement. ChiRhoClin was obligated 
to  deliver  a  certain  amount  of  SecreFlo ®  to 
Repligen and no further deliveries will be made. 
This  payment  of  $750,000  was  recorded  as 
“Accrued  Liabilities”  at  the  time  of  settlement. 
The  adoption  of  EITF  02-16  “Accounting  by  a 
Customer  (Including  a  Reseller)  for  Certain 
Consideration  Received  from  a  Vendor”  (EITF 
02-16) in fiscal 2006 has resulted in the Company 
reducing  cost  of  goods  sold  as  inventory  pur-
chased  from  ChiRhoClin  is  sold.  Other  current 
liabilities as of March 31, 2008 include $10,650 
related  to  ChiRhoClin  settlement  which  will  be 
relieved as a reduction to cost of goods sold as 
inventory purchased from ChiRhoClin is sold.

employees  over  the  age  of  21  who  have  com-
pleted  four  months  of  service  are  eligible  to 
make pre-tax contributions up to a specified per-
centage of their compensation. Under the 401(k) 
Plan,  the  Company  may,  but  is  not  obligated  to 
match a portion of the employees’ contributions 
up  to  a  defined  maximum.  The  match  is  calcu-
lated  on  a  calendar  year  basis.  The  Company 
matched $56,647, $31,353, and $27,278 for the 
fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2008,  2007,  and 
2006  respectively.  Forfeitures  of  previous  par-
ticipants  partially  funded  contributions  for  fiscal 
year  2007.  Forfeitures  of  previous  participants 
completely  funded  contributions  for  fiscal  year 
2006  and  as  a  result  had  no  impact  on  the 
Company’s operations.

9. Related Party Transaction
The Company paid Drs. Schimmel and Rich, the 
Co-Chairmen  of  the  Board  of  Directors  prior  to 
Dr. Schimmel’s retirement in fiscal 2008, $32,800 
and $43,200, respectively, during the fiscal year 
ended  March  31,  20 0 8,  and  $ 4 9,20 0  and 
$43,200,  respectively,  during  each  of  the  fiscal 
years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 pursuant 
to  consulting  agreements.  Pursuant  to  their 
terms,  these  agreements  are  automatically 
extended for successive one-year terms unless 
terminated  by  either  party  to  the  agreement  at 
least 90 days prior to the next anniversary date. 
Dr. Schimmel retired from the Board of Directors 
as  of  the  Company’s  annual  meeting  in  Sep-
tember  2007,  and  accordingly,  the  consulting 
agreement  with  Dr.  Schimmel  was  terminated. 
Dr.  Rich’s  agreement  continues  until  October 
31,  2008.  Dr.  Rich  has  advised  the  Company 
that  he  has  no  present  intention  of  terminating 
his agreement. Drs. Schimmel and Rich received 
no  separate  cash  compensation  for  attendance 
at  meetings  of  the  Board  of  Directors  or  other-
wise as directors.

8. Employee Benefit Plan
The  Repligen  Corporation  401(k)  Savings  and 
Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) is a qualified 
defined  contribution  plan  in  accordance  with 
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All 

10. Legal Proceedings

ImClone Systems
In  May  2004,  Repligen  and  the  Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology (“MIT”) filed an action in 
the  United  States  District  Court  for  the  District 

F-42

F-43

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

of  Massachusetts  against  ImClone  Systems, 
Incorporated  (“ImClone”)  for  infringement  of 
U.S.  Patent  No.  4,663,281  (“the  ‘281  patent”) 
based  on  ImClone’s  manufacture  and  sale  of 
Erbitux®. The ‘281 patent, which covers the use 
of certain genetic elements that increase protein 
production  in  a  mammalian  cell,  is  assigned  to 
MIT and exclusively licensed to Repligen.

On September 10, 2007, Repligen and MIT entered 
into  a  settlement  agreement  (the  “ImClone 
Settlement”)  with  ImClone  relating  to  the  law-
suit against ImClone for infringement of the ‘281 
patent. Pursuant to the ImClone Settlement, 
ImClone  made  a  payment  of  $ 65  million  to 
Repligen and MIT that resulted in net proceeds 
to Repligen of $40.17 million, as follows:

Gross proceeds from settlement 

agreement

Less: Amounts paid to MIT
Less: Legal fees and other costs

$ 65,000,000
(11,000,000)
(13,830,000)

Net gain on litigation settlement

$ 40,170,000

The ImClone Settlement served as the basis for 
the  Company  and  MIT  to  dismiss  the  lawsuit 
against  ImClone  and  for  the  Company  to  grant 
ImClone a non-exclusive sublicense to the ‘281 
patent  and  certain  other  intellectual  property. 
There are no further obligations to the Company 
with respect to the sublicenses. The net gain on 
litigation  settlement  has  been  recorded  as  a 
separate  component  of  operating  expenses  in 
the Company’s statement of operations in fis-
cal 2008.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“Bristol”)
In January 2006, Repligen and the University of 
Michigan jointly filed a complaint against Bristol 
in the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Texas for infringement of U.S. Patent 
No. 6,685,941 (“the ‘941 patent”) for the commer-
cial sale of Orencia®. The ‘941 patent, entitled 
“Methods  of  Treating  Autoimmune  Disease  via 
CTLA4-Ig,”  covers  methods  of  using  CTLA4-Ig 
to  treat  rheumatoid  arthritis,  as  well  as  other 
therapeutic  methods.  Repligen  has  exclusive 
rights to this patent from its owners, the Univer-
sity of Michigan and the U.S. Navy. In February 

2006, Bristol answered the complaint and coun-
terclaimed  seeking  a  declaratory  judgment  that 
the ‘941 patent is invalid and unenforceable and 
that  Bristol  does  not  infringe  the  patent.  See 
Note  12  below  for  further  discussion  of  events 
subsequent to year end.

11. Scripps Agreements

License Agreement
On  April  6,  2007  (“the  Effective  Date”),  the 
Company  entered  into  an  exclusive  worldwide 
commercial license agreement (“License Agree-
ment”)  with  The  Scripps  Research  Institute 
(“Scripps”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, 
the  Company  obtained  a  license  to  use,  com-
mercialize and sublicense certain patented tech-
nology  and  improvements  thereon,  owned  or 
licensed  by  Scripps,  relating  to  compounds 
which  may  have  utility  in  treating  Friedreich’s 
ataxia,  an  inherited  neurodegenerative  disease. 
Research  in  tissues  derived  from  patients,  as 
well as in mice, indicates that the licensed com-
pounds  increase  production  of  the  protein 
frataxin, which suggests potential utility of these 
compounds  in  slowing  or  stopping  progression 
of the disease. There are currently no approved 
treatments for Friedreich’s ataxia.

Pursuant  to  the  License  Agreement,  the  Com-
pany agreed to pay Scripps an initial license fee 
of $300,000, certain royalty and sublicense fees 
and,  in  the  event  the  Company  achieves  speci-
fied developmental and commercial milestones, 
certain  additional  milestone  payments.  In  addi-
tion, the Company issued Scripps and certain of 
its  designees  87,464  shares  of  the  Company’s 
common  stock  (the  “Shares”)  representing 
$300,000 as of the Effective Date. The Company 
recorded  the  initial  license  payment  and  the 
value of the shares issued as research and devel-
opment costs in the Company’s statement of 
operations in fiscal 2008.

If the value of the Shares does not equal at least 
$300,000  on  the  one-year  anniversary  of  the 
Effective Date, the Company shall make a cash 
payment  to  Scripps  equal  to  the  difference.  At 
March 31, 2008 as well as on April 6, 2008, the

one-year  anniversary  of  the  Effective  Date,  the 
fair  value  of  the  shares  exceeded  $300,000; 
therefore, no liability has been recorded. The 
Company  issued  the  Shares  in  reliance  on  the 
exemption from registration provided by Section 
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 
The Shares were issued to Scripps, or to desig-
nees of Scripps on its behalf, as an “accredited 
investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) 
of  Regulation  D)  without  general  solicitation  or 
advertising and did not involve a public offering.

Furthermore,  the  Company  issued  warrants  to 
an  individual  at  Scripps  to  purchase  up  to 
150,000 shares of common stock. The warrants 
have a 7-year term and are exercisable based on 
performance  criteria  as  detailed  in  the  warrant 
agreement.  No  expense  has  been  recorded 
related to these warrants in fiscal 2008, as none 
of the performance criteria have been achieved. 
At this time, the Company does not believe that 
the  performance  criteria  are  probable  of  being 
achieved in the near future.

The License Agreement with Scripps expires or 
may  be  terminated  (i)  when  all  of  the  royalty 
obligations under the License Agreement expire; 
(ii) at any time by mutual written consent; (iii) by 
Scripps  if  the  Company  (a)  fails  to  make  pay-
ments under the License Agreement, (b) fails to 
achieve  certain  developmental  and  commercial 
objectives,  (c)  becomes  insolvent,  (d)  is  con-
victed of a felony relating the manufacture, use 
or sale of the licensed technology, or (e) defaults 
in its performance under the License Agreement; 
or  (iv)  by  the  Company  upon  90  days  written 
notice.

Research and Funding Agreement
On October 26, 2007, the Company entered into 
a  research  funding  and  option  agreement 
(“Funding  Agreement”)  with  Scripps  to  fund  a  
research program for the research and develop-
ment of compounds that may have utility in the 
treatment of Friedreich’s ataxia. Pursuant to the 
Funding Agreement, the Company is required to 
fund  approximately  $140,000  annually,  payable 
quarterly,  which  are  recorded  as  research  and 
development expenses. In exchange for funding 

the  research,  Scripps  will  grant  an  exclusive 
option to the Company to acquire a sole, world-
wide  license,  including  the  right  to  sublicense, 
manufacture and sell products, and services that 
result  from  the  research  program.  There  are  no 
guaranties  or  warranties  that  products  or  ser-
vices may result from the research program and 
the  Company  has  ascribed  no  value  to  the 
license. The Funding Agreement expires or may 
be  terminated  (i)  when  all  of  the  royalty  obliga-
tions under the Funding Agreement expire; (ii) at 
any  time  by  mutual  written  consent;  (iii)  by 
Scripps  if  the  Company  (a)  fails  to  make  pay-
ments under the Funding Agreement, (b) fails to 
achieve  certain  developmental  and  commercial 
objectives,  (c)  becomes  insolvent,  (d)  is  con-
victed of a felony relating to the manufacture, use 
or sale of the licensed technology, or (e) defaults 
in its performance under the Funding Agreement; 
or  (iv)  by  the  Company  upon  90  days  written 
notice. The Company made payments to Scripps 
of  $105,000  during  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2008 in connection with the Funding Agreement.

12. Subsequent Event
On April 7, 2008, Repligen and the University of 
Michigan  entered  into  a  settlement  agreement 
(the  “Bristol  Settlement”)  with  Bristol-Myers 
Squibb  relating  to  the  lawsuit  against  Bristol-
Myers  Squibb  for  infringement  of  the  ‘941  pat-
ent.  Pursuant  to  the  Bristol  Settlement,  Bristol- 
Myers  Squibb  made  an  initial  payment  of  $5 
million  to  Repligen.  The  settlement  further  pro-
vides  for  Bristol-Myers  Squibb  to  pay  royalties 
on  the  United  States  net  sales  of  Orencia®  for 
any  clinical  indication  at  a  rate  of  1.8%  for  the 
first  $500  million  of  annual  net  sales,  2.0%  for 
the  next  $500  million  of  annual  net  sales  and  
4% of annual net sales in excess of $1 billion for 
each year from January 1, 2008 until December 
31,  2013.  The  Bristol  Settlement  served  as  the 
basis for Repligen and the University of Michigan 
to  dismiss  the  lawsuit  against  Bristol-Myers 
Squibb  and  for  Repligen  and  the  University  of 
Michigan  to  grant  to  Bristol  Myers-Squibb  an 
exclusive  worldwide  license  to  the  ‘941  patent 
and certain other intellectual property.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of 
Repligen Corporation:

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  balance 
sheets of Repligen Corporation as of March 31, 
2008  and  2007,  and  the  related  statements  of 
operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended 
March 31, 2008. These financial statements are 
the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  manage-
ment. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on  these  financial  statements  based  on  our 
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the 
standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States). Those stan-
dards require that we plan and perform the audit 
to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether 
the financial statements are free of material mis-
statement.  An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit 
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  princi-
ples  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by 
management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our 
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred 
to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects, 
the financial position of Repligen Corporation at 
March  31,  2008  and  2007,  and  the  results  of  
its  operations,  and  its  cash  flows  for  each  of  
the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  March  31, 
2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles.

As  discussed  in  Note  2  to  the  financial  state-
ments, on April 1, 2006, the Company adopted 
the provisions of Statement of Financial Account-
ing Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the 
standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States), Repligen Corpo-
ration’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting 
as  of  March  31,  2008,  based  on  criteria  estab-
lished in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organi-
zations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  and  our 
report dated June 11, 2008 expressed an unqual-
ified opinion thereon.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for 
establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal 
control  over  financial  reporting.  Internal  control 
over  financial  reporting  is  defined  in  Rule 
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act 
as  a  process  designed  by,  or  under  the  super-
vision of, the Company’s principal executive and 
principal  financial  officers  and  effected  by  the 
Company’s board of directors, management and 
other personnel to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and 
the preparation of financial statements for exter-
nal  purposes  in  accordance  with  U.S.  generally 
accepted  accounting  principles  and  includes 
those policies and procedures that:

•   pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that  in 
reasonable  detail  accurately  and  fairly  reflect 
the transactions and dispositions of the assets 
of the Company;

•   provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transac-
tions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit 
preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accord-
ance  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles, and that receipts and expenditures 
of the Company are being made only in accord-
ance  with  authorizations  of  management  and 
directors of the Company; and

•   provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  pre-
vention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized 
acquisition,  use  or  disposition  of  the  Com-
pany’s assets that could have a material effect 
on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal con-
trol  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or 
detect  misstatements.  Projections  of  any  eval-
uation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are 
subject  to  the  risks  that  controls  may  become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or 
that the degree of compliance with the policies 
or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control over financial report-
ing as of March 31, 2008. In making this assess-
ment, management used the criteria established 
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued 
by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations 
of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on 
this  assessment,  our  management  concluded 
that,  as  of  March  31,  2008,  our  internal  control 
over  financial  reporting  is  effective  based  on 
those  criteria.  Ernst  &  Young  LLP,  the  indepen-
dent  registered  public  accounting  firm  that 
audited our financial statements included in our 
annual report on Form 10-K, has issued an attes-
tation report on our internal control over financial 
reporting as of March 31, 2008. Please see Item 
9A of our Form 10-K.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of 
Repligen Corporation:

We have audited Repligen Corporation’s internal 
control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  March  31, 
2008,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal 
Control—Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the 
Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the 
Treadway  Commission  (the  COSO  criteria). 
Repligen  Corporation’s  management  is  respon-
sible  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control 
over  financial  reporting,  and  for  its  assessment 
of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over 
financial reporting included in the accompanying 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control 
Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to 
express  an  opinion  on  the  company’s  internal 
control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the 
standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting 
Oversight  Board  (United  States).  Those  stan-
dards require that we plan and perform the audit 
to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether 
effective internal control over financial reporting 
was  maintained  in  all  material  respects.  Our 
audit  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assess-
ing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists, 
testing and evaluating the design and operating 
effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the 
assessed risk, and performing such other proce-
dures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  cir-
cumstances. We believe that our audit provides 
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  rea-
sonable assurance regarding the reliability of finan-
cial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial 
statements for external purposes in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles. A 
company’s internal control over financial report-
ing  includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that 
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in 
reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  
the  transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  

of  the  company;  (2)  provide  reasonable  assur-
ance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  neces-
sary to permit preparation of financial statements 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting  
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of 
the company are being made only in accordance 
with  authorizations  of  management  and  direc-
tors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detec-
tion of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposi-
tion  of  the  company’s  assets  that  could  have  a 
material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal con-
trol  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or 
detect  misstatements.  Also,  projections  of  any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are 
subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or 
that the degree of compliance with the policies 
or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Repligen Corporation maintained, 
in all material respects, effective internal control 
over  financial  reporting  as  of  March  31,  2008, 
based on the COSO criteria.

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the 
standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight  Board  (United  States),  the  balance 
sheets of Repligen Corporation as of March 31, 
2008  and  2007,  and  the  related  statements  of 
operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended 
March 31, 2008 of Repligen Corporation and our 
report dated June 11, 2008 expressed an unqual-
ified opinion thereon.
