POZEN Reports PA32540 / PA8140 Updates And First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
The Company reported a net loss of $(8.4) million, or $(0.28) per share on a diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2012, compared to net loss of $(5.7) million, or $(0.19) per share on a diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2011. The higher loss is mainly a result of lower royalty revenue subsequent to the prior year monetization of the Treximet royalty.
Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $100.8 million. Cash and short-term investments were $119.6 million at December 31, 2011. The 2012 decrease was a result of an early January payment for the late December purchase of $5.8 million of short-term investments, payment of cash expenses, payment of accrued compensation costs of $2.2 million, payment of accrued contract costs of $2.0 million for the PA32540 studies, and a reduction in accounts payable of $1.4 million. The Company had an accounts receivable balance of $1.3 million from AstraZeneca at March 31, 2012.
