99.1 Press Release of Pain Therapeutics, Inc. dated May 2, 2007.
Pain Therapeutics Announces First Quarter 2007 Financial Results
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pain
Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTIE), a biopharmaceutical company, today reported
financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Net income for
the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $12.6 million, or $0.28 per share,
compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, in the first
quarter of 2006.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $210 million at
March 31, 2007. Pain Therapeutics continues to expect its cash requirements
for operations to be approximately $10 million for 2007, plus amounts related
to a previously announced stock buyback plan of up to $20 million of its
common stock.
"We continue to make meaningful progress across the entire pipeline," said
Remi Barbier, Pain Therapeutics' president and chief executive officer. "The
Remoxy(TM) Phase III pivotal study is now over 80% enrolled. We're recruiting
patients with metastatic melanoma for a Phase I safety study in Israel. We're
discussing with the National Institute on Drug Abuse whether to test
Oxytrex(TM) in drug abusers. Finally, we expect to meet soon with the FDA to
discuss our potential new treatment for hemophilia."
Financial Highlights
* We have a collaboration with King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("King") to
develop Remoxy and other abuse-resistant opioid painkillers.
Collaboration revenue of $15.5 million reflects reimbursement from
King of our development expenses in the three months ended March 31,
2007, as well as $5.7 million of expenses we incurred in 2006
related to the collaboration.
* On March 29, 2007, we announced a stock buyback plan of up to $20
million of our common stock. As of March 31, 2007 we had purchased
$0.8 million of our common stock on the open market. The total
number of shares to be purchased and the timing of purchases will be
based on several factors, including the price of the common stock,
general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and
alternate investment opportunities. We intend to hold repurchased
shares in treasury. This stock buyback program expires March 2008
and may be discontinued at any time.
* King gave us an upfront cash payment of $150 million in December
2005. For accounting purposes, we plan to recognize a portion of
this cash payment as "program fee revenue" each quarter through mid-
2011. Program fee revenue for the first quarter of 2007 was $6.6
million.
* Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2007
decreased to $9.9 million from $12.9 million for the first quarter
of 2006. The decrease in research and development expenses was
primarily due to the decrease in development activities for our
abuse-resistant product candidates. Research and development
expenses included $0.7 million and $1.0 million of non-cash stock
related compensation costs in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
* General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.8 million from
$2.0 million in the first quarter of 2007. The decrease was
primarily due to decreases in non-cash stock related compensation
costs. General and administrative expenses included $0.5 million
and $0.7 million of non-cash stock related compensation costs in the
first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
* We have not provided for income taxes for the first quarter of 2007
because we do not expect to have taxable income for the full year
2007. Our income before income taxes in 2007 includes program fee
revenue. For tax purposes, we recognized all of the related program
fee revenue in 2006, which is the primary reason for our
expectations for no taxable income for 2007.
About Pain Therapeutics, Inc.
We develop novel drugs in the areas of pain management and
hematology/oncology. We have three investigational drug candidates in
clinical programs. Remoxy and PTI-202 are proprietary, abuse-resistant forms
of opioid drugs. Oxytrex is a novel, next-generation painkiller that
potentially offers less physical dependence than currently marketed opioid
painkillers. Our early-stage drugs include a novel radio-labeled monoclonal
antibody to treat metastatic melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. We are
also working on a new treatment for patients with hemophilia, a rare blood
disorder. The FDA has not yet evaluated the merits, safety or efficacy of our
drug candidates. For more information, please visit our website at
http://www.paintrials.com.

forward-looking statements for purposes of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). PTI disclaims any intent or obligation to
update these forward-looking statements, and claims the protection of the Safe
Harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Act. Examples of such

Company's patient recruitment for its metastatic melanoma Phase I study, the

materially due to various factors. Such statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those risks and uncertainties
relating to difficulties or delays in development, testing, regulatory
approval, production and marketing of the Company's drug candidates,
unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of the

market acceptance (including the risk that current and past results of
clinical trials are not necessarily indicative of future results of clinical
trials), the uncertainty of patent protection for the Company's intellectual
property or trade secrets, the Company's ability to obtain additional
financing if necessary and unanticipated research and development and other
costs. For further information regarding these and other risks related to the
Company's business, investors should consult the Company's filings with the
