TITAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.  2006 ANNUAL REPORT

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

Titan took important steps forward and achieved signifi cant accomplishments 
this past year. 

We launched an important Phase III clinical program, achieved positive results 
in another fi nal Phase III pivotal study, completed enrollment in a core Phase 
IIb safety and effi cacy study, raised capital effi ciently and judiciously, and laid 
the groundwork for additional products by advancing further Phase II testing 
and achieving successful preclinical results with other product candidates. This 
progress was accompanied by consolidation in other areas to conserve resources 
and prepare for future growth.

Our Probuphine program took an important step forward with launch of our 
Phase III clinical program. This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled 
Phase III clinical study will evaluate the safety and effi cacy of Probuphine in 
150 patients in the treatment of opiate addiction. The Phase III program is 
scheduled to include an additional Phase III safety and effi cacy study and an 
additional open label safety study. We also plan to evaluate Probuphine in the 
treatment of chronic pain.

Completion of the iloperidone Phase III clinical program with positive results 
in the fi nal Phase III clinical study was another important achievement. In this 
study, iloperidone demonstrated statistically signifi cant improvement compared 
to placebo on the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS), the study’s 
primary endpoint. Iloperidone also achieved signifi cant effi cacy on the positive 
and negative symptom subscales of the PANSS. In addition, iloperidone 
demonstrated a potentially favorable side effect profi le, with low potential for 
weight gain and induction of diabetes, low extrapyramidal symptoms including 
akathisia, and low incidence of sleepiness and effects on cognition.

Vanda, Titan’s corporate partner for iloperidone, plans to fi le an NDA for 
iloperidone by the fourth quarter of 2007. Vanda plans to differentiate 
iloperidone from other currently marketed antipsychotic drugs based upon the 
product’s potentially favorable side effects profi le, as well as genetic tests that 
may help identify patients that may achieve enhanced safety and effi cacy with 
iloperidone. Vanda is also developing a four-week injectable depot formulation 
of iloperidone. 

Titan achieved another important goal this year with the completion of patient 
enrollment in the randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase IIb clinical study 
of Spheramine in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Results from this study 
are expected to be available in the second half of 2008.

1

Spheramine is an innovative 
cell-therapy based product 
for the treatment of advanced 
Parkinson’s disease designed 
to enhance levels of dopamine 
in the brain. Spheramine has 
been granted both Fast Track 
and Orphan Drug designations 
by the FDA. The Spheramine 
development program is 
jointly managed by Titan 
and its corporate partner for 
worldwide development and 
commercialization, Bayer 
Schering Pharma AG.

DITPA, Titan’s analogue of 
thyroid hormone (T3), is 
currently being evaluated as a 
potential treatment for elevated 
cholesterol. DITPA is currently 
being studied in a randomized, 
double blind Phase II study 
at the Johns Hopkins Medical 
Institution in Baltimore. This 
Phase II study is evaluating 
DITPA in patients receiving 
standard lipid lowering therapy, 
whose LDL cholesterol levels 
are above National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines. Titan 
is also planning a second investigator sponsored study at Johns Hopkins to 
evaluate DITPA in weight reduction and treatment of elevated triglycerides in 
overweight patients. 

Louis R. Bucalo, M.D.    Chairman, President and Chief Executive Offi cer

Also this past year, Titan presented data on gallium maltolate, another product 
in development, that demonstrated in preclinical testing effectiveness in 
altering bacterial morphology and biofi lm architecture. Further studies with 
gallium maltolate are planned. 

Titan also advanced ProNeura product candidates in preclinical testing, 
demonstrating proof of principle with our ProNeura technology to deliver the 

2

TITAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.  2006 ANNUAL REPORT

drug lisuride, an agent approved in Europe for the treatment of Parkinson’s 
disease. In preclinical testing, a ProNeura formulation of lisuride was shown in 
an animal model to deliver lisuride continuously for an extended period after 
a single subcutaneous dose. This may provide a means to achieve around the 
clock, continuous dopaminergic therapy for Parkinson’s patients. This is an 
important goal for therapy, particularly in earlier stage patients, and is thought 
to be important in slowing or preventing the onset of complications of current 
therapy, including motor fl uctuations and other debilitating conditions. These 
early results suggest that application of ProNeura technology to the treatment 
of Parkinson’s patients with dopaminergic agents may provide an approach to 
achieve this important goal. 

Titan also advanced its fi nancing and operating goals by consolidating and 
reducing non-core development expenses, reducing facilities expenses, and 
reducing other costs. We enhanced our fi nancial resources through a successful 
$10 million fi nancing, as well as establishment of an additional $25 million 
equity facility, that may be accessed at the company’s option. These steps 
helped provide access to additional capital for advancement of the Company’s 
development programs. 

These combined steps and achievements have provided a further basis for 
future growth and success. These achievements were possible because of our 
shareholders’ continued support, and the dedicated efforts of our employees 
and partners. We look forward to further progress together in our goal of 
developing new innovative treatments.

Sincerely,

Louis R. Bucalo, M.D.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Offi cer

TITAN PHARMACEUTICALS CURRENTLY HAS 
THREE PRODUCTS IN LATE STAGE CLINICAL 
DEVELOPMENT: ILOPERIDONE, PROBUPHINE 
AND SPHERAMINE.

ILOPERIDONE

ILOPERIDONE — FOR THE TREATMENT OF SCHIZOPHRENIA  Iloperidone is 
Titan’s novel agent in development for the treatment of schizophrenia and 
other psychotic disorders. Phase III clinical testing of iloperidone has been 
completed by Titan’s partner, Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Vanda plans to fi le 
an NDA for iloperidone by the fourth quarter of 2007, and is targeting potential 
product launch in the U.S. in 2009. Upon potential commercialization, Titan 
will receive a royalty of 8-10% on worldwide sales of iloperidone. 

SCHIZOPHRENIA  Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling mental 
disorder that affects approximately 2.2 million individuals in the U.S. The 
disease is characterized by positive symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, 
disorganized and incoherent speech, and negative symptoms such as severe 
emotional abnormalities, and withdrawal. 

The worldwide market for the treatment of schizophrenia and related psychotic 
disorders now exceeds $16 billion in annual sales. A number of medications are 
currently available for the treatment of schizophrenia. However, dissatisfaction 
with side effects caused by many current antipsychotic agents often results in 
switching medications to avoid these side effects. 

LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT TREATMENTS  There are a number of medications 
currently on the market for the treatment of schizophrenia. However, most 
of these products are known to induce substantial side effects, such as 
weight gain, diabetes, extrapyramidal symptoms, hyperlactinemia, increased 
somnolence and cognition diffi culties. Patient dissatisfaction with side effects 
caused by current antipsychotic agents results in many patients discontinuing 
therapy within a year of initiating treatment. 

4

TITAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.  2006 ANNUAL REPORT

PHASE III CLINICAL TESTING OF ILOPERIDONE COMPLETE, POTENTIALLY 
FAVORABLE TOLERABILITY PROFILE DEMONSTRATED  Results from the 
fi nal planned Phase III clinical study of iloperidone were positive, and 
demonstrated that iloperidone is potentially safe and effective in the treatment 
of schizophrenia. Specifi cally, the results demonstrated statistically signifi cant 
improvement compared to placebo on the Positive and Negative Symptom 
Scale (PANSS), the trial’s primary endpoint. Iloperidone also achieved 
signifi cant effi cacy on the positive and negative symptom subscales of the 
PANSS. Importantly, iloperidone also demonstrated a potentially favorable  
side effect profi le, with low potential for weight gain and induction of  
diabetes, low extrapyramidal symptoms including akathisia, and low  
incidence of sleepiness and effects on cognition. 

The tolerability profi le of iloperidone provides an important potential source 
of additional value to doctors and patients. 

Vanda is seeking to further differentiate iloperidone through the development 
of one time genetic tests that may be used to identify patients that are more 
likely to achieve better treatment results when using iloperidone. Vanda’s 
market research studies indicate that physicians treating schizophrenia patients 
would welcome such information in making prescribing decisions. This 
potential ability to prospectively identify patients for whom iloperidone may be 
a preferable drug for the treatment of schizophrenia could provide an additional 
important advantage for this drug. Vanda is also developing a four-week 
injectable depot formulation of iloperidone. The four-week depot formulation 
for iloperidone may provide additional advantages. 

Target: SCHIZOPHRENIA
PHASE III CLINICAL TESTING 
COMPLETE, NDA TO BE FILED
BY FOURTH QUARTER 2007

PROBUPHINE

PROBUPHINE — FOR THE TREATMENT OF OPIATE ADDICTION  Probuphine 
is a novel formulation of buprenorphine under development by Titan for the 
treatment of opiate addiction. Buprenorphine in a sublingual tablet formulation 
is approved in the U.S., Europe and Asia for the treatment of opiate addiction. 
Probuphine is designed to deliver buprenorphine for up to six months following 
a single treatment. 

Continuous longer term delivery of buprenorphine may potentially address 
many challenges associated with daily oral therapy, including poor compliance, 
variable blood levels, risk of misuse and reduced therapeutic potential. 
Probuphine is currently being evaluated in a 150 patient Phase III clinical 
study with results expected in the second half of 2008. The Company also 
plans to subsequently initiate an additional controlled Phase III study and an 
open label safety study in the U.S. and Europe.

PROBUPHINE UTILIZES TITAN’S PROPRIETARY PRONEURA LONG-TERM DRUG 
DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY  Probuphine is Titan’s fi rst product in clinical testing 
to utilize our proprietary ProNeura long-term drug delivery system. Titan’s 
ProNeura drug delivery system consists of a small, solid rod made from a 
combination of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and the selected drug substance, 
in this case, buprenorphine. The resulting product is a solid matrix that releases 
the drug slowly, through the process of diffusion, and maintains a continuous 
drug level for long-term treatment.

OPIATE ADDICTION  Opiate dependence is a chronic medical condition that 
requires long-term treatment. An estimated 2.8 million individuals in the U.S. 
and Europe are addicted to illegal opioids such as heroin, and more than 1.5 
million individuals in the U.S. alone are addicted to prescription opioid drugs 
such as hydrocodone, oxycodone and morphine. Treatment of opiate addiction 
for several decades had consisted largely of methadone maintenance treatment. 
Buprenorphine, which was approved in the U.S. in 2003 for the treatment 
of opiate addiction, is quickly becoming a preferred treatment, offering 
several advantages over methadone. We estimate that worldwide sales of 
buprenorphine for the treatment of opiate addiction were approximately $400 
million in 2006. 

POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES OF PROBUPHINE IN THE TREATMENT OF OPIATE 
ADDICTION  Buprenorphine is currently administered to opioid addicted 
patients in a daily tablet formulation, which presents a number of challenges 
and limitations, including potential poor compliance, variable blood levels, risk 
of misuse, and overall reduced therapeutic value. Probuphine, which provides 
continuous long-term delivery of buprenorphine, may help reduce or eliminate 
many of these limitations. 

6

TITAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.  2006 ANNUAL REPORT

CLINICAL EVALUATION OF PROBUPHINE IN THE TREATMENT OF OPIATE 
ADDICTION  In a completed Phase I/II clinical study, 12 opiate-dependent 
patients were successfully switched from their daily tablet doses of 
buprenorphine to Probuphine, with maintenance of therapeutic benefi t, and 
no signifi cant signs of opioid withdrawal or craving. Pharmacokinetic data for 
all patients demonstrated steady state serum buprenorphine concentrations for 
the duration of the six month treatment period. Based on these encouraging 
results, Titan this year initiated a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 
multi-center Phase III clinical study of Probuphine in the treatment of opiate 
dependence. This 150 patient study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness 
of treatment with Probuphine versus placebo in reducing opiate dependence. 
Enrollment is this study is expected to be completed by the end of 2007, with 
results available in the second half of 2008. This study is part of a registration 
directed program intended to obtain marketing approval of Probuphine for the 
treatment of opiate addiction in Europe and the U.S. The Phase III program 
includes additional clinical studies scheduled to begin later this year and  
in 2008.

POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROBUPHINE FOR THE TREATMENT OF 
CHRONIC PAIN  Buprenorphine, the active drug component of Probuphine, is 
an effective analgesic and is also approved for the treatment of pain in the U.S. 
and Europe. Titan is also planning to evaluate the potential use of Probuphine 
for the treatment of chronic pain.

Target: OPIATE ADDICTION
PHASE III CLINICAL 
TESTING ONGOING

SPHERAMINE

SPHERAMINE — FOR THE TREATMENT OF ADVANCED PARKINSON’S DISEASE 
Spheramine is Titan’s novel cell therapy product in development for the 
treatment of Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects over 
four million individuals world wide. Spheramine consists of normal human 
retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells placed on microscopic carrier beads. 
The product is delivered by stereotactic injection into specifi c brain regions. 
Treatment with Spheramine is intended to provide a localized continuous 
source of dopamine, an essential neurotransmitter that is defi cient in specifi c 
brain regions in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Phase I/II clinical testing 
has demonstrated initial favorable results, and enrollment in a Phase IIb 
clinical study is complete, with results expected in the second half of 2008. 
Spheramine is partnered with Bayer Schering Pharma AG for worldwide 
development and commercialization. 

PARKINSON’S DISEASE  Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that sends information 
to regions of the brain that control movement and coordination. Parkinson’s 
disease results from progressive loss of neuronal cells in the substantia nigra, 
leading to reduced levels of dopamine production and associated neuronal 
activity in other specifi c brain regions. Some of the most common symptoms 
of Parkinson’s disease are tremors, stiffness of the limbs and trunk, slowness of 
movement, and postural instability. 

LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT TREATMENTS   Current treatments for Parkinson’s 
disease include daily administration of oral agents containing dopamine 
precursors or dopamine agonists which increase the levels of dopamine activity 
in the brain. However, most patients eventually develop a “wearing-off effect” 
in which each dose alleviates symptoms for a shorter period of time. Typically, 
within several years, most patients become refractory to treatment with 
worsening symptoms. Because these therapies are orally delivered, they also 
result in elevated systemic levels of dopamine, causing potential side effects, 
especially as progressively higher doses are required. 

PROOF-OF-PRINCIPLE ESTABLISHED IN PRECLINICAL AND INITIAL 
CLINICAL STUDIES  Spheramine was initially evaluated in controlled studies 
in a validated primate model of Parkinson’s disease and showed favorable 
results, demonstrating that after a single treatment, Spheramine was able to 
substantially reverse Parkinsonian symptoms and improve movement, with 
sustained effi cacy throughout the 12 month duration of the study. Based on 
these encouraging data, an initial clinical study in humans was conducted.

8

TITAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.  2006 ANNUAL REPORT

In this open-label Phase I/II clinical study, six advanced Parkinson’s patients 
were treated and all patients showed substantial and sustained improvement 
in motor function following treatment with Spheramine. The patients were 
assessed before and after treatment with Spheramine using the UPDRS rating 
scale, a standard measurement of Parkinson’s disease severity. At 12 months 
post-treatment, patients had average improvement in motor function of 48% 
over their baseline UPDRS motor scores, the study’s primary endpoint. This 
benefi t was substantially sustained, with patients demonstrating average 
improvement in motor function of approximately 43% over baseline, four years 
after treatment with Spheramine. Patients also had improvements in quality 
of life and activities of daily living, and half of the patients had a reduction in 
preexisting dyskinesias (involuntary movements). Spheramine was also well 
tolerated, and use of Spheramine required no immunosuppression. 

ENROLLMENT OF THE PHASE IIB CLINICAL STUDY IS COMPLETE  Based on the 
encouraging results from the Phase I/II clinical study, Titan and its corporate 
partner for the worldwide development and commercialization of Spheramine, 
Bayer Schering Pharma AG, are conducting a randomized, double blind, 
controlled Phase IIb clinical study to further evaluate the safety and effi cacy of 
Spheramine. Patient enrollment in this study was completed in mid-2007, and 
results from this study are expected in the second half of 2008. Bayer Schering 
Pharma is fully funding the Spheramine development program.

SPHERAMINE HAS BEEN GRANTED BOTH FAST TRACK AND ORPHAN DRUG 
The FDA has granted Fast Track designation for Spheramine. The FDA’s 
Fast Track Program is designed to facilitate the development and expedite 
the review of drug candidates that demonstrate the potential to treat serious 
or life-threatening diseases and address unmet medical needs. The FDA has 
also approved Orphan Drug designation for Spheramine for the treatment of 
advanced Parkinson’s disease.

Target: PARKINSON’S DISEASE

DITPA

GALLIUM
MALTOLATE 

PRONEURA

FOR THE POTENTIAL TREATMENT OF HYPERLIPIDEMIA  DITPA (3,5-
diiodothyropropionic acid) is an analogue of thyroid hormone (T3). Thyroid 
hormone (T3) is known to play a central role in normal cardiovascular function 
and lipid metabolism. DITPA is currently being evaluated for the treatment of 
elevated cholesterol in an investigator sponsored Phase II clinical study at the 
Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore. This randomized, placebo-
controlled study is enrolling patients receiving standard lipid-lowering therapy, 
whose LDL cholesterol levels are above National Cholesterol Education 
Program (NCEP) guidelines, and will evaluate DITPA as a cholesterol lowering 
agent in combination with such standard therapy. 

Titan is also planning a second investigator sponsored Phase II clinical study at 
Johns Hopkins to evaluate the effectiveness of DITPA in weight reduction and 
the lowering of high triglycerides in obese patients.

FOR THE POTENTIAL TREATMENT OF CHRONIC BACTERIAL INFECTIONS, 
BONE DISEASE AND CANCER  Gallium maltolate is Titan’s novel oral agent in 
development for the potential treatment of chronic bacterial infections, bone 
disease and cancer. Data from recent preclinical testing demonstrating that 
treatment with gallium maltolate can alter biofi lm architecture and bacterial 
morphology at the site of infection were presented at the American Society for 
Microbiology Biodefense and Emerging Diseases Research Meeting in March 
2007. Studies with gallium maltolate in other preclinical settings are ongoing.

LONG-TERM DRUG DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY  Titan’s proprietary ProNeura 
technology was developed to address the need for a simple, practical method 
to achieve continuous long-term drug delivery. This technology is designed 
to provide controlled drug release on an outpatient basis for several months. 
ProNeura can also potentially improve treatment results by avoiding the varying 
blood levels of drug that are usually seen throughout the day with many oral 
medications. The ProNeura system consists of a small, solid rod made from a 
combination of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and drug substance. The resulting 
product is a solid matrix that is placed subcutaneously, usually in the upper 
arm, in an offi ce procedure. 

Titan’s fi rst product to utilize our ProNeura drug delivery technology is 
Probuphine, a long-term dosage formulation of buprenorphine in development 
for the treatment of opiate addiction. Buprenorphine is also approved in 
Europe for the treatment of chronic pain, and Titan is also planning to  
develop Probuphine for the treatment of this condition.

clearances prior to commercialization. We may experience unanticipated problems relating to 
product development and cannot predict whether we will successfully develop and commercialize 
any products. An estimation of product completion dates and completion costs can vary signifi cantly 
for each product and are diffi cult to predict. Various statutes and regulations also infl uence our 
product development progress and the success of obtaining approval is highly uncertain. We will 
also continue to identify new technologies and/or product candidates for possible in-licensing 
or acquisition. Accordingly, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. We 
cannot assure you that we will ever achieve profi table operations. For a full discussion of risks and 
uncertainties in our product development, see “Risk Factors—Our products are at various stages of 
development and may not be successfully developed or commercialized,” included in our 2006 Form 
10-K fi led with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE USE OF ESTIMATES 
The preparation of our fi nancial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 
the amounts reported in our consolidated fi nancial statements and accompanying notes. Actual 
results could differ materially from those estimates. We believe the following accounting policy for 
the year ended December 31, 2006, to be applicable: 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued their fi nal standard 
on accounting for share-based payments in FASB Standard No.123R (revised 2004), Share-Based 
Payment (SFAS 123R). This statement replaces FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation (SFAS 123), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.25, 
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The statement is effective for all interim and annual periods 
beginning after December 15, 2005 and requires companies to measure and recognize compensation 
expense for all share-based payments at fair value in the consolidated statement of income. 

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R using the modifi ed-prospective-transition 
method. Under this transition method, stock compensation cost recognized beginning January 1, 
2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet 
vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the 
original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on 
or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with 
the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 
Revenues in 2006 were $32,000 compared to $89,000 for 2005, a decrease of $57,000. Our 
revenues during 2006 and 2005 were derived from fees received under various licensing 
agreements. 

Research and development expenses for 2006 were $11.6 million compared to $17.8 million 
for 2005, a decrease of $6.2 million. The decrease in research and development was primarily 
associated with the conclusion of certain clinical study related activities and cost reduction 
strategies initiated in the third quarter of 2005 resulting in lower internal expenditures in 2006. Of 
our 2006 research and development expenses, approximately 46%, or $5.3 million, were attributable 
to external R&D expenses. External R&D expenses include direct expenses such as clinical 

13

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

research organization charges, investigator and review board fees, patient expense reimbursements, 
pre-clinical activities and contract manufacturing expenses. In 2006, approximately $2.2 million 
of external R&D expenses were related to Probuphine, $2.6 million to DITPA, $0.4 million to 
gallium maltolate, and the remainder to other projects. Remaining R&D expenses were attributable 
to internal operating costs, which include clinical research and development personnel salaries 
and employment related expenses, clinical trials related travel expenses, and allocation of facility 
and corporate costs. In October 2006, we determined to focus our resources on the Phase III 
development of Probuphine, and have discontinued further enrollment in our Phase II study of 
DITPA in congestive heart failure (CHF). We will subsequently analyze data collected to date. 
In addition, the Department of Veteran’s Affairs indicated that it will discontinue its Cooperative 
Studies Program Phase II study of DITPA in CHF patients. 

As a result of the risks and uncertainties inherently associated with pharmaceutical research and 
development activities described elsewhere in this report, we are unable to estimate the specifi c 
timing and future costs of our clinical development programs or the timing of material cash infl ows, 
if any, from our product candidates. 

General and administrative expenses for 2006 were $4.9 million compared to $5.4 million for 2005, 
a decrease of $0.5 million. 

Other income, net, for 2006 was $710,000 compared to $589,000 for 2005, an increase of 
$121,000. 

As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $15.8 million in 2006 compared to a net loss of 
$22.5 million in 2005. 

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 
Revenues in 2005 were $89,000 compared to $31,000 for 2004, an increase of $58,000. Our 
revenues during 2005 and 2004 were derived from fees received under various licensing agreements. 

Research and development expenses for 2005 were $17.8 million compared to $20.4 million 
for 2004, a decrease of $2.6 million. The decrease in research and development was primarily 
associated with the conclusion of certain clinical studies in 2004 and cost reduction strategies 
initiated in 2005 resulting in lower internal expenditures in 2005. Of our 2005 research and 
development expenses, approximately 38%, or $6.8 million, were attributable to external R&D 
expenses. External R&D expenses include direct expenses such as clinical research organization 
charges, investigator and review board fees, patient expense reimbursements, pre-clinical activities 
and contract manufacturing expenses. In 2005, approximately $2.4 million of external R&D 
expenses were related to Probuphine, $2.7 million to DITPA, $0.7 million to gallium maltolate, and 
the remainder to other projects. Remaining R&D expenses were attributable to internal operating 
costs, which include clinical research and development personnel salaries and employment related 
expenses, clinical trials related travel expenses, and allocation of facility and corporate costs. In 
2004, we recorded a $759,000 acquired research and development expense in connection with 
the acquisition of minority shares of ProNeura, Inc. The entire purchase price of the shares was 
charged to acquired research and development on the acquisition date in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. 

General and administrative expenses for 2005 were $5.4 million compared to $5.2 million for 2004. 

Other income, net, for 2005 was $589,000 compared to $376,000 for 2004, an increase of 
$213,000. 

As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $22.5 million in 2005 compared to a net loss of 
$26.0 million in 2004.

At December 31, 2006, we had $13.7 million of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities 
compared to $17.4 million at December 31, 2005. 

Our operating activities used $13.5 million during 2006. This consisted primarily of the net loss 
for the period of $15.8 million reduced by $1.0 million related to changes in prepaid expenses, 
receivables, other assets, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. This was offset in part 
by non-cash charges of $0.4 million related to depreciation and amortization expenses and 
$0.9 million related to stock based compensation expenses. Uses of cash in operating activities 
were primarily to fund product development programs and administrative expenses. We have 
entered into various agreements with research institutions, universities, and other entities for the 
performance of research and development activities and for the acquisition of licenses related to 
those activities. Certain of the licenses require us to pay royalties on future product sales, if any. In 
addition, in order to maintain license and other rights while products are under development, we 
must comply with customary licensee obligations, including the payment of patent related costs, 
annual minimum license fees, meeting project-funding milestones and diligent efforts in product 
development. The aggregate commitments we have under these agreements, including minimum 
license payments, for the next 12 months is approximately $0.2 million. 

Net cash provided by investing activities of $4.1 million during 2006 consisted primarily of 
maturities of marketable securities of $19.7 million, partially offset by purchases of marketable 
securities of $15.6 million and capital expenditures of approximately $0.1 million. 

Net cash provided by fi nancing activities during 2006 was $9.9 million, which consisted primarily 
of $9.3 million of net proceeds from the sale of common stock under an existing shelf registration 
statement and net proceeds from the exercise of stock options. 

On September 28, 2005, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell 
Capital Partners. Under the agreement, we can require Cornell to purchase up to $35.0 million of 
our common stock over a two year period following the effective date of a registration statement 
covering the shares of the common stock to be sold to Cornell Capital Partners. We can make draw-
downs under the agreement in $2.0 million increments. At the closing of each draw-down (which 
will take place six days after our notifi cation to Cornell Capital Partners) we will issue to Cornell 
Capital Partners a number of shares of our common stock equal to the amount of the draw-down 
divided by the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the fi ve 
trading days following the draw-down notice to Cornell Capital Partners. At each closing, we will 
pay 5% of the amount of the draw-down to Cornell Capital Partners and $500 to Yorkville Associates 
Management, the investment advisor to Cornell Capital Partners. We are not obligated to make any 
draw-downs under the agreement, and will not pay any additional fees to Cornell Capital Partners 
if we do not do so. As of December 31, 2006, we completed a total of fi ve draw-downs under the

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Standby Equity Distribution Agreement pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 3,131,228 
shares and received net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million. We can issue 3,344,059 additional 
shares under the agreement without receipt of the required shareholder approval. We did not make 
any draw-downs under this facility in 2006. 

In February 2004, we fi led a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission to sell up to $50 million of common or preferred stock. Under this registration 
statement, shares may be sold periodically to provide additional funds for our operations. In March 
2004, we completed a sale of 3,075,000 shares of our common stock offered under the registration 
statement at a price of $5.00 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $15.4 million. Net 
proceeds were approximately $14.4 million. In March 2006, we completed a sale of 3,076,924 
shares of our common stock offered under the registration statement at a price of $3.25 per share, 
for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million. Net proceeds were approximately $9.3 million. 
This shelf registration statement expired in February 2007. 

In February 2007, we fi led a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission to sell up to $50 million of common or preferred stock. Under this registration 
statement, shares may be sold periodically to provide additional funds for our operations. 

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses from costs related to 
continuation of product and technology development, clinical trials, and administrative activities. We 
believe that with our current cash balances and the Standby Equity Distribution agreement we will 
have access to suffi cient working capital to sustain our planned operations through the end of 2007. 

Although the Standby Equity Distribution agreement provides us with up to an additional $31.0 
million of fi nancing, subject to the receipt of required shareholder approval, we will need to seek 
additional fi nancing sources to fund our product development activities, and will be required to 
obtain substantial funding to commercialize any products other than iloperidone or Spheramine that 
we may successfully develop. If we are unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise 
obtain suffi cient fi nancing when and if needed, we may be required to reduce, defer or discontinue 
one or more of our product development programs.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS 
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet fi nancing arrangements and we have never 
established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other 
entities or entered into any options on non-fi nancial assets.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 
Our portfolio of marketable securities exposes us to interest rate risk. We adhere to an investment 
policy that requires us to limit amounts invested in securities based on maturity, type of instrument, 
investment grade and issuer. We satisfy liquidity requirements by investing excess cash in securities 
with different maturities to match projected cash needs and limit concentration of credit risk by 
diversifying our investments among a variety of high credit-quality issuers. A hypothetical 100 basis 
point decrease in interest rates would result in an approximate $100,000 decrease in cash fl ow over 
the subsequent year. We do not use derivative fi nancial instruments in our investment portfolio. 

The following table summarizes principal amounts and related weighted-average interest rates by 
year of maturity on our interest-bearing investment portfolio at December 31, 2006 (in thousands,

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Our principal executive and fi nancial offi cers 
reviewed and evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defi ned in Exchange Act Rule 
13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our 
principal executive and fi nancial offi cers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are 
effective in timely providing them with material information relating to the Company, as required to 
be disclosed in the reports we fi le under the Exchange Act. 

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: Our management 
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our fi nancial 
reporting. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over fi nancial reporting 
as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment using those criteria, management concluded that, 
as of December 31, 2006, our internal control over fi nancial reporting was effective. 

Our independent registered public accounting fi rm, Odenberg, Ullakko, Muranishi& Co. LLP, 
have issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of our internal control over fi nancial 
reporting as well as on the effectiveness of our internal control over fi nancial reporting as of 
December 31, 2006. The attestation report on the internal control over fi nancial reporting appears 
elsewhere in this Annual Report. 

(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There were no changes in our internal 
control over fi nancial reporting during the year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely 
to materially affect, our internal control over fi nancial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
The Company and its Subsidiaries 
We are a biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary therapeutics for the treatment of 
central nervous system (CNS) disorders, cardiovascular disease, bone disease and other disorders. 
Our product development programs focus primarily on large pharmaceutical markets with 
signifi cant unmet medical needs and commercial potential. We are directly developing our product 
candidates and also utilizing strategic partnerships, including a collaboration with Bayer Schering 
Pharma AG, Germany (Bayer Schering). These collaborations help fund product development and 
enable us to retain signifi cant economic interest in our products. At December 31, 2006, we owned 
81% of Ingenex, Inc. assuming the conversion of all preferred stock to common stock. In the fourth 
quarter of 2004, we completed the merger of ProNeura, Inc., our 89% owned subsidiary, into Titan. 
We operate in only one business segment, the development of pharmaceutical products. 

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses from costs related to 
continuation of product and technology development, clinical trials, and administrative activities. We 
believe that with our current cash balances and the Standby Equity Distribution agreement we will 
have access to suffi cient working capital to sustain our planned operations through the end of 2007. 

Although the Standby Equity Distribution agreement provides us with up to an additional $31.0 
million of fi nancing, subject to the receipt of required shareholder approval, we will need to seek 
additional fi nancing sources to fund our product development activities, and will be required to 
obtain substantial funding to commercialize any products other than iloperidone or Spheramine that 
we may successfully develop. If we are unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise 
obtain suffi cient fi nancing when and if needed, we may be required to reduce, defer or discontinue 
one or more of our product development programs. 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation 
The accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements include the accounts of Titan and our wholly and 
majority owned subsidiaries. All signifi cant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. 

Use of Estimates 
The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in 
the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in 
the consolidated fi nancial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Stock Option Plans 
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R – “Share Based Payment” (SFAS 123R) using 
the modifi ed-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, stock compensation cost 
recognized beginning January 1, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments 
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated 
in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based 
payments granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated 
in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated. 

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions to estimate 
the share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006: 1) weighted-average 
risk-free interest rate of 4.8%; 2) no expected dividend payments; 3) expected holding period of 
5.8 years based on the simplifi ed method provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin No.107 for “plain 
vanilla options”; 4) weighted-average volatility factor of 0.64 based on historical stock prices; and 5) 
an estimated forfeiture rate of 2% of options granted to management and 31% of options granted to 
non-management based on historical data. 

23

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The SFAS 123R share-based compensation expense recorded for awards under the stock option plans 
was approximately $873,000, net of estimated forfeitures, during the year ended December 31, 2006. 
The share-based compensation expense of $354,000 was recorded in research and development 
expense and $519,000 was recorded in general and administrative expense during the twelve month 
period ended December 31, 2006. No tax benefi t was recognized related to share-based compensation 
expense since we have incurred operating losses and we have established a full valuation allowance to 
offset all the potential tax benefi ts associated with our deferred tax assets. Our basic and diluted loss 
per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $0.03, due to adopting SFAS 123R. 

During the year ended December 31, 2006 we granted 1,157,650 options to employees, directors 
and consultants to purchase common stocks. The following table summarizes option activity for the 
year ended December 31, 2006:

As of December 31, 2006 there was approximately $778,000 of total unrecognized compensation 
expense related to non-vested stock options. This expense is expected to be recognized over a 
weighted-average period of 0.59 year. 

Until December 31, 2005, we elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25 
(APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” rather than the alternative method of 
accounting prescribed by SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Under APB 
25, no compensation expense is recognized when the exercise price of our employee stock options 
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates 
the effect on our net loss and net loss per share if we had applied the provisions of SFAS 123 to 
estimate and recognize compensation expense for our share-based employee compensation during 
the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-
pricing model with the following assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, 
respectively: weighted-average volatility factor of 0.70 and 0.70; no expected dividend payments; 
weighted-average risk-free interest rate in effect of 4.1% and 3.0%; and a weighted-average expected 
life of 3.12 and 3.97 years. In the pro forma information for periods prior to 2006, we accounted for 
forfeitures as they occurred. 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities 
Our cash and investment policy emphasizes liquidity and preservation of principal over other 
portfolio considerations. We select investments that maximize interest income to the extent possible 
given these two constraints. We satisfy liquidity requirements by investing excess cash in securities 
with different maturities to match projected cash needs and limit concentration of credit risk by 
diversifying our investments among a variety of high credit-quality issuers and limit the amount of 
credit exposure to any one issuer. The estimated fair values have been determined using available 
market information. We do not use derivative fi nancial instruments in our investment portfolio. 

All investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. 
Our marketable securities, consisting primarily of high-grade debt securities including money market 
funds, U.S. government and corporate notes and bonds, and commercial paper, are classifi ed as 
available-for-sale at time of purchase and carried at fair value. If the fair value of a security is below 
its amortized cost for six consecutive months or if its decline is due to a signifi cant adverse event, 
the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary. Other-than-temporary declines in fair 
value of our marketable securities are charged against interest income. We recognized expenses of 
approximately $27,000 in 2006, $45,000 in 2005, and $102,000 in 2004 as a result of charges related 
to other-than-temporary declines in the fair values of certain of our marketable securities. Amortization 
of premiums and discounts, and realized gains and losses are included in interest income. Unrealized 
gains and losses are included as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component 
of stockholders’ equity. The cost of securities sold is based on use of the specifi c identifi cation method. 

Property and Equipment 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over 
the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to fi ve years. Leasehold improvements are 
amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets. 

Investment in Other Companies 
We have invested in equity instruments of privately held companies for business and strategic 
purposes. These investments are classifi ed as long-term assets and are accounted for under the 
cost method as we do not have the ability to exercise signifi cant infl uence over their operations. We 
monitor our investments for impairment and record reductions in carrying value when events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Determination of 
impairment is based on a number of factors, including an assessment of the strength of investee’s 
management, the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than our cost basis, 
the fi nancial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, fundamental changes to the business 
prospects of the investee, share prices of subsequent offerings, and our intent and ability to hold the 
investment for a period of time suffi cient to allow for any anticipated recovery in our carrying value. 

In December 2001, we made a $300,000 equity investment in Molecular Medicine BioServices, 
Inc. for 714,286 shares of Series A Preferred stock, and at December 31, 2006, these shares 
represent 3.7% of total equity in the company. In September 2004, we recorded a $150,000 
reduction in the carrying value of our investment in Molecular Medicine BioServices, Inc., and 
included the loss in other income (expense).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition 
We generate revenue principally from collaborative research and development arrangements, 
technology licenses, and government grants. Revenue arrangements with multiple components are 
divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered 
component has stand-alone value to the customer, and whether there is objective and reliable 
evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. Consideration received is allocated among 
the separate units of accounting based on their respective fair values, and the applicable revenue 
recognition criteria are then applied to each of the units. 

Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) a contractual 
agreement exists; (2) transfer of technology has been completed or services have been rendered; 
(3) the fee is fi xed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. For each source of 
revenue, we comply with the above revenue recognition criteria in the following manner: 

■  Collaborative arrangements typically consist of non-refundable and/or exclusive technology 

access fees, cost reimbursements for specifi c research and development spending, and various 
milestone and future product royalty payments. If the delivered technology does not have stand-
alone value or if we do not have objective or reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered 
component, the amount of revenue allocable to the delivered technology is deferred. Non-
refundable upfront fees with stand-alone value that are not dependent on future performance 
under these agreements are recognized as revenue when received, and are deferred if we have 
continuing performance obligations and have no evidence of fair value of those obligations. 
Cost reimbursements for research and development spending are recognized when the related 
costs are incurred and when collections are reasonably expected. Payments received related to 
substantive, performance-based “at-risk” milestones are recognized as revenue upon achievement 
of the clinical success or regulatory event specifi ed in the underlying contracts, which represent 
the culmination of the earnings process. Amounts received in advance are recorded as deferred 
revenue until the technology is transferred, costs are incurred, or a milestone is reached. 

■  Technology license agreements typically consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, annual 
minimum access fees or royalty payments. Non-refundable upfront license fees and annual 
minimum payments received with separable stand-alone values are recognized when the 
technology is transferred or accessed, provided that the technology transferred or accessed is not 
dependent on the outcome of our continuing research and development efforts. 

■  Government grants, which support our research efforts in specifi c projects, generally provide for 
reimbursement of approved costs as defi ned in the notices of grants. Grant revenue is recognized 
when associated project costs are incurred. 

Research and Development Costs 
Research and development expenses include internal and external costs. Internal costs include 
salaries and employment related expenses, facility costs, administrative expenses and allocations 
of corporate costs. External expenses consist of costs associated with outsourced clinical research 
organization activities, sponsored research studies, product registration, patent application and 
prosecution, and investigator sponsored trials. In accordance with SFAS No.2, “Accounting for 
Research and Development Costs,” all such costs are charged to expense as incurred. 

Net Loss Per Share 
We calculate basic net loss per share using the weighted average common shares outstanding for the 
period. Diluted net income per share would include the impact of other dilutive equity instruments, 
primarily our preferred stock, options and warrants. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 
and 2004, outstanding preferred stock, options and warrants totaled 6.6 million, 6.7 million, and 

26

6.7 million shares, respectively. We reported net losses for all years presented and, therefore, 
preferred stock, options and warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per 
share as they were anti-dilutive. 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) 
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive income. The 
only component of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses on our marketable 
securities. Comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was $15.7 
million, $22.4 million, and $26.1 million, respectively. Comprehensive income (loss) has been 
disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity for all periods presented. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued their fi nal standard 
on accounting for share-based payments in FASB Standard No.123R (revised 2004), Share-Based 
Payment (SFAS 123R). This statement replaces FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation (SFAS 123), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.25, 
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The statement is effective for all interim and annual 
periods beginning after December15, 2005 and requires companies to measure and recognize 
compensation expense for all share-based payments at fair value in the consolidated statement of 
income. 

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R using the modifi ed-prospective-transition 
method. Under this transition method, stock compensation cost recognized beginning January 1, 
2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet 
vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the 
original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on 
or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with 
the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated. 

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No.48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income 
Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109” (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation clarifi es 
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s fi nancial statements 
in accordance with FASB Statement No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes 
a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the fi nancial statement recognition and 
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also 
provides guidance on derecognition, classifi cation, interest and penalties, accounting in interim 
periods, disclosure, and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a 
two-step process. The fi rst step is recognition: The Company determines whether it is “more-likely-
than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related 
appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether 
a tax position has met the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, the company presumes that 
the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge 
of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the “more-
likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefi t to recognize 
in the fi nancial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefi t that is 
greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 is effective for fi scal 
years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined what impact this 
statement will have on its results of operations or fi nancial position.

After 2011, we must make annual payments aggregating $136,000 per year to maintain certain 
licenses. Certain licenses provide for the payment of royalties by us on future product sales, if any. 
In addition, in order to maintain these licenses and other rights during product development, we 
must comply with various conditions including the payment of patent related costs and obtaining 
additional equity investments. 

5. AGREEMENT WITH SANOFI-AVENTIS SA 
In 1997, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Sanofi -Aventis SA (formerly Hoechst 
Marion Roussel, Inc.). The agreement gave us a worldwide license to the patent rights and know-
how related to the antipsychotic agent iloperidone, including the ability to develop, use, sublicense, 
manufacture and sell products and processes claimed in the patent rights. We are required to make 
additional benchmark payments as specifi c milestones are met. Upon commercialization of the 
product, the license agreement provides that we will pay royalties based on net sales. 

6. ILOPERIDONE SUBLICENSE TO NOVARTIS PHARMA AG 
We entered into an agreement with Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis) in 1997 pursuant to which we granted 
Novartis a sublicense for the worldwide (with the exception of Japan) development, manufacturing 
and marketing of iloperidone. In April 2001, we entered into an amendment to the agreement for the 
development and commercialization of iloperidone in Japan. Under the amendment, in exchange for 
rights to iloperidone in Japan, we received a $2.5 million license fee in May 2001. Novartis will make 
our milestone payments to Sanofi -Aventis during the life of the Novartis agreement, and will also pay 
to Sanofi -Aventis and us a royalty on future net sales of the product, providing us with a net royalty 
of 8% on the fi rst $200 million of sales annually and 10% on all sales above $200 million on an annual 
basis. Novartis has assumed the responsibility for all clinical development, registration, manufacturing and 
marketing of iloperidone, and we have no remaining obligations under the terms of this agreement, except 
for maintaining certain usual and customary requirements, such as confi dentiality covenants. 

In June 2004, we announced that Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Vanda) had acquired from Novartis 
the worldwide rights to develop and commercialize iloperidone, our proprietary antipsychotic agent 
in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. 
Under its agreement with Novartis, Vanda is pursuing advancement of the iloperidone Phase III 
development program. All of our rights and economic interests in iloperidone, including royalties on 
sales of iloperidone, remain essentially unchanged under the agreement. 

7. LICENSING AND COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENT WITH BAYER SCHERING 
PHARMA AG 
In January 2000, we entered into a licensing and collaborative agreement with Bayer Schering 
Pharma AG (Bayer Schering), under which we will collaborate with Bayer Schering on manufacturing 
and clinical development of our cell therapy product, Spheramine®, for the treatment of Parkinson’s

disease. Under the agreement, we will perform clinical development activities for which we will 
receive funding. As of December 31, 2006, we have recognized $2.8 million under this agreement. 
In February 2002, we announced that we received a $2.0 million milestone payment from Bayer 
Schering. The milestone payment followed Bayer Schering’s decision in the fi rst quarter 2002 
to initiate larger, randomized clinical testing of Spheramine for the treatment of patients with 
advanced Parkinson’s disease following the successful completion of our Phase I/II clinical study 
of Spheramine. As a result, we recognized $2.0 million in contract revenue in the fi rst quarter of 
2002. Bayer Schering will fully fund, and manage in collaboration with us, all future pilot and pivotal 
clinical studies, and manufacturing and development activities. We are entitled to receive up to 
an aggregate of $8 million over the life of the Bayer Schering agreement upon the achievement of 
specifi c milestones. We will also receive a royalty on future net sales of the product. 

8. DITPA ACQUISITION 
On October 16, 2003, we announced the acquisition of a novel product in clinical testing for the 
treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF). The product in development, 3,5-diiodothyropropionic 
acid (DITPA), is an orally active analogue of thyroid hormone that has demonstrated in preclinical 
and clinical studies to date the ability to improve cardiac function, with no signifi cant adverse 
effects. We acquired DITPA through the acquisition of Developmental Therapeutics, Inc. (DTI), a 
private company established to develop DITPA, and the exclusive licensee of recently issued U.S. 
patent and pending U.S. and international patent applications covering DITPA. We acquired DTI in 
a stock transaction for 1,187,500 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $3.6 million 
using the average market price of our common stock over the fi ve-day trading period, including and 
prior to the date of the merger in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We also 
made a cash payment of $171,250 to the licensor of the technology. In the fourth quarter of 2003, 
the total acquisition cost of $3.9 million was reported as acquired research and development in the 
consolidated statement of operations. An additional payment of 712,500 shares of our common 
stock will be made only upon the achievement of positive pivotal study results or certain other 
substantial milestones within fi ve years. In addition, a cash payment of $102,750 or, alternatively, 
an additional payment of 37,500 shares of our common stock, will be made to the licensor of the 
technology upon achievement of such study results or such other substantial milestones within 
fi ve years. No specifi c milestones have been achieved related to this acquisition as of December 
31, 2006. In October 2006, we discontinued further enrollment in our Phase II study of DITPA 
in CHF. We will subsequently analyze data collected to date. In addition to the discontinuation of 
our Phase II clinical study in CHF, the Department of Veteran’s Affairs has indicated that it will 
discontinue its Cooperative Studies Program Phase II study of DITPA in CHF patients. 

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 
Lease Commitments 
We lease facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through June 2010. We 
also lease certain offi ce equipment under operating and capital leases that expire at various dates 
through July 2009. Rental expense was $703,000, $721,000, and $832,000 for years ended 
December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Legal Proceedings 
In March 2005, Dr. Bernard Sabel initiated an appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the 
State of Delaware relating to the merger of our subsidiary ProNeura, Inc. into Titan. The complaint 
indicates that Mr. Sabel wants the court to appraise the value of the 108,800 shares of the common 
stock of ProNeura owned by him. The complaint does not specify an amount that Mr. Sabel considers 
the fair value of the shares. Discovery is proceeding in connection with this appraisal proceeding. 

10. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS 
As permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with our Bylaws, we indemnify our offi cers and 
directors for certain events or occurrences while the offi cer or director is or was serving at the Company’s 
request in such capacity. The term of the indemnifi cation period is for the offi cer’s or director’s 
lifetime. The maximum amount of potential future indemnifi cation is unlimited; however, we have a 
director and offi cer insurance policy that limits our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion 
of any future amounts paid. We believe the fair value of these indemnifi cation agreements is minimal. 
Accordingly, we have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2006. 

In the normal course of business, we have commitments to make certain milestone payments to 
various clinical research organizations in connection with our clinical trial activities. Payments are 
contingent upon the achievement of specifi c milestones or events as defi ned in the agreements, and 
we have made appropriate accruals in our consolidated fi nancial statements for those milestones 
that were achieved as of December 31, 2006. We also provide indemnifi cations of varying scope 
to our clinical research organizations and investigators against claims made by third parties 
arising from the use of our products and processes in clinical trials. Historically, costs related to 
these indemnifi cation provisions were immaterial. We also maintain various liability insurance 
policies that limit our exposure. We are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these 
indemnifi cation provisions on our future results of operations. 

11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY 
Preferred Stock 
In connection with the merger of our Trilex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. subsidiary (Trilex) in 1997, 
we issued 222,400 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock (the Series C Preferred) to 
certain members of the Trilex management team and to certain consultants of Trilex. The Series 
C Preferred automatically converts to our common stock, on a one-to-one basis, only if certain 
development milestones are achieved within a certain timeframe. Upon achievement of the 
milestones, we would be required to value the technology using the then fair market value of our 
common stock issuable upon conversion. Certain milestones were not achieved by October 6, 
2004. In February 2005, we redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a 
redemption price equal to the aggregate par value of the shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends, 
if any. There were no accrued and unpaid dividends outstanding at the time of the redemption.

Common Stock 
On September 28, 2005, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell 
Capital Partners. Under the agreement, we can require Cornell to purchase up to $35.0 million of 
our common stock over a two year period following the effective date of a registration statement 
covering the shares of the common stock to be sold to Cornell Capital Partners. We can make draw-
downs under the agreement in $2.0 million increments. At the closing of each draw-down (which 
will take place six days after our notifi cation to Cornell Capital Partners) we will issue to Cornell 
Capital Partners a number of shares of our common stock equal to the amount of the draw-down 
divided by the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the fi ve 
trading days following the draw-down notice to Cornell Capital Partners. At each closing, we will 
pay 5% of the amount of the draw-down to Cornell Capital Partners and $500 to Yorkville Associates 
Management, the investment advisor to Cornell Capital Partners. We are not obligated to make any 
draw-downs under the agreement, and will not pay any additional fees to Cornell Capital Partners 
if we do not do so. We paid Cornell Capital Partners a one-time commitment fee equal to $140,000 
in the form of 75,407 shares of common stock, Monitor Capital, Inc., a placement agent fee equal 
to $10,000 in the form of 5,386 shares of common stock and paid Yorkville Advisors Management 
a structuring fee of $10,000, all of which are underwriting discounts payable or paid to Cornell 
Capital Partners. As of December 31, 2006, we had completed a total of fi ve draw-downs under the 
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement selling a total of 3,050,435 shares of our common stock for 
gross proceeds of approximately $4.0 million. Net proceeds were approximately $3.8 million. 

We can issue 3,344,059 additional shares under the agreement without receipt of the required 
shareholders’ approval. We did not make any draw-downs under this facility in 2006. 

In October 2004, we issued 149,599 shares of our common stock in exchange for 101,700 shares of 
ProNeura, Inc. (ProNeura) common stock under a share exchange agreement with two of the three 
minority shareholders of ProNeura. Our common stock was valued at $367,000 using the average 
market price of our common stock over a fi ve day trading period, including two days prior to and 
subsequent to the date of issuance. 

In February 2004, we fi led a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission to sell up to $50 million of common or preferred stock. Under this registration 
statement, shares may be sold periodically to provide additional funds for our operations. In March 
2004, we completed a sale of 3,075,000 shares of our common stock offered under the registration 
statement at a price of $5.00 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $15.4 million. Net 
proceeds were approximately $14.4 million. In March 2006, we completed a sale of 3,076,924 
shares of our common stock offered under the registration statement at a price of $3.25 per share, 
for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million. Net proceeds were approximately $9.3 million. 
This registration statement expired in February 2007. 

In February 2007, we fi led a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission to sell up to $50 million of common or preferred stock. Under this registration 
statement, shares may be sold periodically to provide additional funds for our operations.

12. STOCK OPTION PLANS 
In October 2005, we repriced 223,134 non-executive employee options previously granted under 
the 1998 Stock Option Plan. The weighted average original exercise price of the repriced options 
was $23.89. The exercise price of the new options is $5.00. 

In August 2005, we adopted an amendment to the 2002 Stock Option Plan (2002 Plan) to (i) 
permit the issuance of Shares of restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to participants under 
the 2002 Plan, and (ii) increase the number of Shares issuable pursuant to grants under the 2002 
Plan from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000. 

In July 2002, we adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan (2002 Plan). The 2002 Plan assumed 
the options which remain available for grant under our option plans previously approved by 
stockholders. Under the 2002 Plan and predecessor plans, a total of 6.4 million shares of our 
common stock were authorized for issuance to employees, offi cers, directors, consultants, and 
advisers. Options granted under the 2002 Plan and predecessor plans may either be incentive stock 
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and/or options that do not 
qualify as incentive stock options; however, only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock 
options. Options granted under the option plans generally expire no later than ten years from the 
date of grant, except when the grantee is a 10% shareholder, in which case the maximum term is 
fi ve years from the date of grant. Options generally vest at the rate of one fourth after one year from 
the date of grant and the remainder ratably over the subsequent three years, although options with 
different vesting terms are granted from time-to-time. Generally, the exercise price of any options 
granted under the 2002 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of our common stock 
on the date of grant, except when the grantee is a 10% shareholder, in which case the exercise price 
shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. 

In July 2002, our Board of Directors elected to continue the option grant practice under our 
amended 1998 Option Plan, which provided for the automatic grant of non-qualifi ed stock options 
(Directors’ Options) to our directors who are not 10% stockholders (Eligible Directors). Each 
Eligible Director will be granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock on the 
date that such person is fi rst elected or appointed a director. Commencing on the day immediately 
following the later of (i) the 2000 annual stockholders meeting, or (ii) the fi rst annual meeting 
of stockholders after their election to the Board, each Eligible Director will receive an automatic 
biennial (i.e. every two years) grant of an option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock as 
long as such director is a member of the Board of Directors. In addition, each Eligible Director will 
receive an automatic annual grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock for each 
committee of the Board on which they serve. The exercise price of the Director’s Options shall be 
equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Commencing in 2005, 
the biennial grant of options to non-employee directors pursuant to our stockholder-approved stock 
option plans was increased from 15,000 options to 20,000 options. 

In August 2001, we adopted the 2001 Employee Non-Qualifi ed Stock Option Plan (2001 NQ Plan) 
pursuant to which 1,750,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance for option grants 
to employees and consultants who are not offi cers or directors of Titan. Options granted under the 
option plans generally expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Option vesting schedule 
and exercise price are determined at time of grant by the Board of Directors. Historically, the 
exercise prices of options granted under the 2001 NQ Plan were 100% of the fair market value of 
our common stock on the date of grant.

Our option plans allow for stock options issued as the result of a merger or consolidation of another 
entity, including the acquisition of minority interest of our subsidiaries, to be added to the maximum 
number of shares provided for in the plan (Substitute Options). Consequently, Substitute Options 
are not returned to the shares reserved under the plan when cancelled. During 2006, 2005 and

In addition, Ingenex has a stock option plan under which options to purchase common stock 
of Ingenex have been and may be granted. No options have been granted under such plan 
since 1997. 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of 
traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option 
valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock 
price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics signifi cantly different from 
those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially

affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily 
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options. 

Based upon the above methodology, the weighted-average fair value of options granted during the 
years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was $1.06, $1.00, and $1.65, respectively. A 
tabular presentation of pro forma net loss and net loss per share information for all reporting periods 
is presented in Note 1. 

13. MINORITY INTEREST 
The $1.2 million received by Ingenex upon the issuance of its Series B convertible preferred stock 
has been classifi ed as minority interest in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the Series 
B preferred stockholders’ liquidation preference, the balance has not been reduced by any portion of 
the losses of Ingenex. 

Amounts invested by outside investors in the common stock of the consolidated subsidiaries have 
been apportioned between minority interest and additional paid-in capital in the consolidated 
balance sheets. Losses applicable to the minority interest holdings of the subsidiaries’ common 
stock have been reduced to zero. 

14. INCOME TAXES 
As of December 31, 2006, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes 
of approximately $222.2 million that expire at various dates through 2026, and federal research and 
development tax credits of approximately $6.5 million that expire at various dates through 2026. 
We also had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $87.6 
million that expire at various dates through 2016, and state research and development tax credits of 
approximately $5.4 million which do not expire. 

Current federal and California tax laws include substantial restrictions on the utilization of net 
operating losses and tax credits in the event of an ownership change of a corporation. Accordingly, 
the Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be limited as a 
result of such ownership changes. Such a limitation could result in the expiration of carryforwards 
before they are utilized. 

Deferred income taxes refl ect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for fi nancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income 
tax purposes. Signifi cant components of our deferred tax assets are as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount 
of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation 
allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $2.7 million, $11.9 million, and $7.6 million 
during 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. 

Under SFAS 123R, the deferred tax asset for Net Operating Losses as of December 31, 2006 
excludes deductions for excess tax benefi ts related to stock based compensation. The deferred tax 
asset pertaining to Net Operating Losses decreased approximately $4.2 million. 

In November 2005, the FASB issued Financial Statement Position (“FSP”) on SFAS No. 123(R)-
3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. 
Effective upon issuance, FSP No. 123(R)-3 provides for an alternative transition method for 
calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation expense pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). The 
alternative transition method provides simplifi ed approaches to establish the beginning balance of 
a tax benefi t pool comprised of the additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) related to the tax effects of 
employee stock-based compensation expense, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC 
tax benefi t pool and the statement of cash fl ows of stock-based awards that were outstanding upon 
the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company has made the election to calculate the tax effects 
of stock-based compensation expense using the alternative transition method pursuant to FSP 
No. 123(R)-3 and computed the beginning balance of the APIC tax benefi t pool by applying the 
simplifi ed method. Based on the Company’s historical losses, the Company did not have cumulative 
excess tax benefi ts from stock-based compensation available in APIC that could be used to offset 
an equal amount of future tax shortfalls (i.e., when the amount of the tax deductible stock-based 
compensation is less than the related stock-based compensation cost). 

The provision for income taxes consists of state minimum taxes due. The effective tax rate of the 
Company’s provision (benefi t) for income taxes differs from the federal statutory rate as follows (in

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED 
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of 
Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the Management’s Annual Report on 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A, that Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 
and its subsidiaries (the “company”) maintained effective internal control over fi nancial reporting 
as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO 
criteria). The company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over 
fi nancial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over fi nancial 
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion 
on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether effective internal control over fi nancial reporting was maintained in all material 
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over fi nancial reporting, 
evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of 
internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. 
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

A company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable 
assurance regarding the reliability of fi nancial reporting and the preparation of fi nancial statements 
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s 
internal control over fi nancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to 
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly refl ect the transactions 
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions 
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of fi nancial 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 directors of the company; and (3) provide 
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the fi nancial statements. 

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over fi nancial reporting may not prevent or 
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are 
subject to the risk that the 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, management’s assessment that the company maintained effective internal control 
over fi nancial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on 
the COSO criteria. Also in our opinion, the company maintained, in all material respects, effective 
internal control over fi nancial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries 
as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ 
equity, and cash fl ows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, and our report 
dated February 27, 2007 expressed an unqualifi ed opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED 
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of 
Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements 
of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash fl ows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated fi nancial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated fi nancial 
statements based on our audits. 

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

In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements audited by us present fairly, in all material 
respects, the consolidated fi nancial position of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries 
at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash 
fl ows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with U.S. 
generally accepted accounting principles. 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated fi nancial statements, the Company changed its method 
of accounting for share-based compensation in 2006 when it adopted SFAS No.123R, “Share Based 
Payment” starting January 1, 2006. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s internal 
control over fi nancial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission and our report dated February 27, 2007 expressed an unqualifi ed opinion 
thereon.
