1. SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES



The significant accounting policies
followed by Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the Company) for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting. We prepared these
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, in managements opinion, we have included all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation. The
accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The results of
operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. We derived the amounts on the December 31, 2004 consolidated condensed balance sheet from
the audited financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Principles of consolidation



The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



Earnings per share



The computation of basic income per share information is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted income per share information is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effects of any dilutive
common stock equivalents.



Reclassification



The Company has reclassified certain 2004 financial statement amounts to
conform to the 2005 financial statement presentation.

Stock-based compensation



The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123, which require compensation expense to be disclosed in the notes based on the fair value of the options granted at the date of the grant. Had compensation cost for the Companys stock option plan been determined based on
the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method required by SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income and diluted net income per common share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below.

Restructuring
charges



In the first and second quarter of 2004, the
Company recorded a $0.5 million and a $2.1 million restructuring charge, respectively, associated with exiting the Companys chemistry facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. These charges include lease payments and termination
costs, net of sublease rentals, of approximately $2.1 million and a loss on sale of assets used in the chemistry services business of approximately $0.5 million. The lease termination liability will be paid over the remaining life of the lease,
which terminates in 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, lease payments and related expenses of $0 and $0.3 million were paid, respectively. At March 31, 2005, the Company recorded the remaining restructuring liability of
$0.9 million in the consolidated condensed balance sheet as a component of other accrued expenses and deferred rent and other. The loss on sale of assets was a non-cash item and was charged to expense during the three months ended March 31, 2004.



Inventory



Inventories, which consist principally of laboratory supplies, are valued at
the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories totaling $2.2 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, respectively, were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



Recent accounting pronouncements



In November 2003, during discussions on Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF
03-01, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, the EITF reached a consensus that requires quantitative and qualitative disclosures for debt and marketable equity securities classified as
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under SFAS No. 115 and SFAS No. 124 that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. In September 2004, FASB Staff Position EITF Issue 03-1-1
was issued to delay the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance. This delay does not suspend the requirement to recognize other-than-temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative literature. The Company has adopted
the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-01.



In October 2004,
the EITF finalized its consensuses on EITF 04-01, Accounting for Preexisting Relationships between the Parties to a Business Combination. The consensuses in EITF 04-01 provide guidance on how to account for the settlement of a
preexisting relationship and how it affects the accounting of the business combination. EITF 04-01 is effective for business combinations consummated and goodwill impairment tests performed in reporting periods beginning after October 13, 2004. In
February 2005, the Company recorded a gain on the termination of a preexisting lease arrangement as part of the acquisition of SurroMed, Inc.s biomarker business in accordance with the guidance in EITF 04-01. See Note 2.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004)
Share-Based Payment that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the
fair value on the date of grant of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability instruments will be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in
exchange for the award. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 which describes the SEC staffs expectations in determining the assumptions that underlie the fair value estimates and discusses the interaction of SFAS No. 123
(Revised) with certain existing SEC guidance. In April 2005, the SEC deferred the effective date for SFAS No. 123 (Revised) to the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
the adoption of this statement on the Companys financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 replaces the exception from fair value measurement included in APB Opinion
No. 29 for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the
future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement will be applied prospectively and is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15,
2005. The Company does not believe adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.



In October 2004, the EITF finalized its consensuses on EITF 04-10, Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the
Quantitative Thresholds. This consensus states that operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds can be aggregated only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of SFAS No. 131, the segments have
similar economic characteristics, and the segments share sufficient other aggregation criteria. EITF 04-10 is effective for fiscal years ending after October 13, 2004. The adoption of this consensus did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial statements.

In February 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of SurroMed, Inc.s
biomarker business. The assets acquired by the Company consist of equipment, fixtures, leasehold improvements, intellectual property and contracts. The biomarker business supports drug discovery and drug development by identifying biomarkers using
biological, chemical and bioinformatics expertise and technologies. The acquisition expands the Companys business by adding biomarker discovery and patient sample analysis capability to the services offered by the Company. In exchange for the
assets, the Company surrendered to SurroMed all shares of preferred stock of SurroMed it held. As additional consideration for the acquisition, the Company assumed approximately $3.4 million of SurroMed liabilities under capital leases and certain
additional operating liabilities and agreed to guarantee repayment of up to $1.5 million under a SurroMed bank loan. In accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, as clarified by FASB
Interpretation No. 45, the Company has recorded a liability in the amount of $150,000 for the estimated fair value of the obligation it has assumed under this guarantee. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on exchange of assets of $5.1 million,
primarily related to the $4.9 million gain on the termination of a preexisting facility lease arrangement with SurroMed in accordance with EITF 04-01, Accounting for Preexisting Relationships between the Parties to a Business
Combination. The fair value of the leasing arrangement was determined based on the discounted cash flows of the difference between the future required rental payments under the lease agreement and the current market rate for similar
facilities. The results of operations are included in the Companys consolidated condensed statement of operations as of and since February 1, 2005, the effective date of the acquisition. This biomarker business is now part of the Discovery
Sciences segment of the Company.



This acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, utilizing appropriate fair value techniques to allocate the purchase price based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the estimated fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were included in the Companys consolidated condensed balance sheet as of the effective date of the acquisition.



The total purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed as set forth in the following table:

|Total                                    |  | $ | 35,446 |  
|                                         |  |   |        |  



These purchase price
allocations for the acquisition were based on preliminary estimates, using available information and making assumptions management believed were reasonable. The purchase price allocations have not been finalized as the Company is still obtaining and
validating information relating to certain operating assets and liabilities. Goodwill will be evaluated annually as required by SFAS 142. Goodwill related to SurroMed is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The unaudited pro forma results from operations for the Company assuming the
acquisition was consummated as of January 1, 2004 and 2005 were as follows:



|                                      |  |                             |         |      |   |

The above amounts are
based upon certain assumptions and estimates. The Company believes these assumptions and estimates are reasonable, but they do not reflect any benefit from economies that might be achieved from combined operations. Pro forma adjustments were made to
income tax benefit, increasing net income by $0.7 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. These adjustments are reflected in the above table. The pro forma financial information presented
above is not necessarily indicative of either the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of the period indicated or of future results of operations of the Company.

Short-term
investments



At December 31, 2004, the Companys
short-term investments consisted of Auction Rate Securities, or ARS. ARS generally have long-term stated maturities of 20 to 30 years. However, these securities have economic characteristics of short-term investments due to a rate-setting mechanism
and the ability to liquidate them through a Dutch auction process that occurs on pre-determined intervals of less than 90 days. As such, these investments are classified as short-term investments. The Companys short-term investments were
classified as available-for-sale securities due to managements intent regarding these securities. As of December 31, 2004, there were no unrealized gains or losses associated with these investments and the fair market value equaled the
adjusted cost. At March 31, 2005, the Company no longer had any short-term investments.



The gross realized (losses)/gains on available-for-sale securities were $42,000 and $(17,000) in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, determined on a specific identification basis.

6. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENTS (continued)



Investments



The Company has equity investments in publicly traded entities. Investments
in publicly traded entities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are measured at market value. The Company records net unrealized gains or losses associated with investments in publicly traded entities as a component of
shareholders equity until they are realized or an other-than-temporary decline has occurred. The market value of the Companys equity investments in publicly traded entities is based on the closing price as quoted by the applicable stock
exchange or market at the end of the reporting period. As of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, gross unrealized gains were $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and there were no gross unrealized losses for both periods. The
Companys equity investments are classified as long-term assets due to managements intent to hold these securities for more than 12 months.



The Company also has investments in privately held entities in the form of equity and convertible debt instruments that are not publicly traded and for
which fair values are not readily determinable. The Company records all of its investments in private entities under the cost method of accounting. The Company assesses the net realizable value of these entities on a quarterly basis to determine if
there has been a decline in the fair value of these entities, and if so, if the decline is other than temporary. This quarterly review includes an evaluation of, among other things, the market condition of the overall industry, historical and
projected financial performance, expected cash needs and recent funding events. The impairment analysis requires significant judgment to identify events or circumstances that would likely have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the
investment.



In January 2004, the Company purchased 5.0 million
shares of Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Series E convertible preferred stock for $5.0 million. At that time, the Company also received a Class A and Class B warrant, each to purchase up to an additional 5.0 million shares of Series E convertible
preferred stock for $1.00 per share. The Company received dividends on its Series E convertible preferred stock in excess of Accentias earnings in the first quarter of 2005 and for the full year of 2004 and thus recorded these as a reduction
of cost of the investment in Accentia. In January 2005, the Company exercised the Class A warrant for the purchase of an additional 5.0 million shares of Series E convertible preferred stock for $5.0 million. The Class B warrant will expire on the
earlier of January 7, 2006 or the effective date of a registration statement for the public sale of Accentia common stock in a qualifying initial public offering. The Company owned approximately 13.4% of the outstanding capital stock of Accentia as
of March 31, 2005. Accentia is a privately held, specialty biopharmaceutical company that focuses on commercializing targeted therapeutics in the respiratory, oncology and critical care areas. In February 2005, Accentia filed a registration
statement with the SEC for its proposed initial public offering of common stock. Accentia proposes to sell in this public offering, in addition to shares for its own account, up to $12.0 million of common stock issuable to the Company upon
conversion of 5.0 million shares of the Series E convertible preferred stock held by the Company.



In November 2003, the Company became a limited partner in A. M. Pappas Life Science Ventures III, LP, a venture capital fund. The Pappas Fund was
established for the purpose of making investments in equity securities of privately held companies in the life sciences, healthcare and technology industries. The Company has committed to invest up to an aggregate of approximately $2.5 million in
the Pappas Fund. No capital call can exceed 10% of the Companys aggregate capital commitment, and no more than two-thirds of the Companys commitment could be called prior to May 2005. As such, the Company anticipates that its aggregate
investment will be made through a series of future capital calls over the next several years. Capital calls through March 31, 2005 were $165,000. The Companys capital commitment will expire in May 2009.



In March 2005, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited completed its
acquisition of 100% of the equity of Syrrx, Inc. The Company owned $25.0 million in preferred stock of Syrrx. Takeda paid the Company $25.0 million in April 2005 for this preferred stock. Syrrx is now known as Takeda San Diego, Inc.

8. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES



In January 2004, the
Company began entering into foreign exchange forward and option contracts that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Changes in the fair value of
the effective portion of these outstanding forward and option contracts are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, or OCI. These amounts are reclassified from OCI and recognized in earnings when either the forecasted transaction
occurs or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.



Changes in the ineffective portion of a derivative instrument are recognized in earnings in the current period. Effectiveness for forward cash flow hedge contracts is measured by comparing the fair value of the
forward contract to the change in the forward value of the anticipated transaction. The fair market value of the hedged exposure is presumed to be the market value of the hedge instrument when critical terms match. Ineffectiveness in 2004 and 2005
was not significant.

8. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (continued)



The Company has significant international revenues and
purchase transactions and related receivables and payables denominated in non-functional currencies at the Companys foreign subsidiaries. As a result, the Company purchased currency option and forward contracts as cash flow hedges to reduce or
eliminate certain foreign currency exposures that can be identified and quantified. Pursuant to its foreign exchange risk hedging policy, the Company may hedge anticipated and recorded transactions and the related receivables and payables
denominated in non-functional currencies using forward foreign exchange rate contracts and foreign currency options. Foreign currency derivatives are used only to meet the Companys objective of minimizing the variability in the Companys
operating results arising from foreign currency exchange rate movements. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Hedging contracts are measured at fair value using dealer quotes and
mature within twelve months from their inception.



The
Companys hedging contracts are primarily intended to protect against the impact of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies and its impact on operating results. Accordingly, for forecasted transactions, non-U.S. dollar
functional subsidiaries incurring expenses in foreign currencies hedge U.S. dollar revenue contracts. OCI associated with hedges of foreign currency revenue is reclassified into revenue upon recognition of the forecasted transaction in the statement
of operations. All values reported in OCI at March 31, 2005 will be reclassified to earnings within twelve months. At March 31, 2005, the face amount of the foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $33.3 million.



The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge
against changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments; therefore, changes in the fair value of these contracts are
recognized immediately in other income, net as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the monetary assets or liabilities being hedged. At March 31, 2005, the face amount of these contracts was $26.1 million.



At March 31, 2005, the fair value of the Companys foreign currency
derivative portfolio was $380,000 recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets and $87,000 recorded as a component of other accrued expenses.



9. INCOME TAXES



The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 27.5%. The effective tax rate was positively impacted by a $3.7 million reduction in the
valuation allowance provided for the deferred tax asset relating to a capital loss carryforward due to the recognition of capital gains for both the SurroMed transaction and the $10.0 million dapoxetine new drug application milestone. This reduction
in the valuation allowances decreased the effective tax rate by 7.5%.



The Company records current and deferred income tax expense related to its foreign operations to the extent those earnings are taxable. Historically, no provision has been made for the additional taxes that would result from the
distribution of earnings of foreign subsidiaries because those earnings were expected to be reinvested permanently. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, (the Act) introduced a special one-time dividends received deduction on the
repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer. No provision is being made in the first quarter of 2005 relating to this matter because the Company is currently evaluating the effect of the new Act on its plan for these undistributed
foreign earnings. The Company expects to complete this evaluation by the end of June 2005. The cumulative amount of undistributed retained earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which no provision has been made was $50.4 million as of December 31,
2004 and $58.6 million as of March 31, 2005. The income tax effect of repatriating these earnings is not estimable at this time.

For the three months
ended March 31, 2005, the Company made contributions of $0.5 million and anticipates contributing an additional $1.4 million to fund this plan during the remainder of 2005.



11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTIGENCIES



The Company currently maintains insurance for risks associated with the operation of its business, provision of professional services, and ownership of
property. These policies provide coverage for a variety of potential losses, including loss or damage to property, bodily injury, general commercial liability, professional errors and omissions, and medical malpractice. The Companys retentions
and deductibles associated with these insurance policies range from $0.25 million to $0.5 million.



The Company is self-insured for health insurance for employees located within the United States. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance on a
claims made basis for expenses in excess of $0.25 million per member per year. As of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, the Company maintained a reserve of approximately $3.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, included in other
accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed balance sheets, to cover open claims and estimated claims incurred but not reported.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTIGENCIES (continued)



In April 2000, the Company made an investment in Spotlight Health, Inc. The
Company subsequently entered into an agreement to guarantee a $2.0 million revolving line of credit that is now being provided to Spotlight Health by Bank of America. Indebtedness under the line of credit is unsecured and subject to traditional
covenants relating to financial ratios. This credit facility is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2005, at which time any outstanding balance would be due. As of March 31, 2005, Spotlight Health had $2.0 million outstanding under this credit facility.
In accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, as clarified by FASB Interpretation No. 45, the Company has recorded a liability in the amount of $0.2 million for the estimated fair value of the
obligation the Company has assumed under this guarantee. The Company reviews the financial statements of Spotlight Health on a quarterly basis to determine if it has sufficient financial resources to continue operations. Future events and
circumstances might adversely affect Spotlight Healths financial condition and Spotlight Health might not be in the position to repay the facility, in which case Bank of America might attempt to collect against the Company on its guarantee.



In February 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of
SurroMeds assets related to its biomarker business. As part of this acquisition, the Company agreed to guarantee repayment of up to $1.5 million under a SurroMed bank loan with a maturity date of December 31, 2006. In accordance with the
requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, as clarified by FASB Interpretation No. 45, the Company has recorded a liability in the amount of $150,000 for the estimated fair value of the obligation it has assumed
under this guarantee.



In November 2003, the Company entered
into an agreement with Syrrx, Inc. to jointly develop and commercialize human dipeptidyl peptidase IV, or DPP IV, inhibitors as drug products for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and other major human diseases. The Company is obligated to provide
preclinical and clinical development resources and expertise for the collaboration, and to fund the majority of preclinical and clinical studies through Phase IIb development of selected DPP IV inhibitors. The Company and Syrrx agreed to share
equally the costs of Phase III development. In addition, the Company agreed to make milestone payments up to $17.5 million to Syrrx for each collaboration product upon the occurrence of certain clinical and regulatory events. In September 2004, the
Company filed an investigational new drug application for one DPP IV inhibitor and the Phase I clinical study for that inhibitor commenced in late October 2004. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company expensed the first milestone payment to Syrrx
of $2.5 million as a result of the commencement of the Phase I studies. These studies were completed in March 2005 and the Phase II studies were commenced in April. The Company expensed the milestone payment of $2.5 million relating to the
commencement of the Phase II studies in the second quarter of 2005. The remaining milestone payments will be expensed when the event triggering payment of the milestone occurs. In the event the parties are successful in obtaining approval to market
a drug product under the collaboration, the parties will share equally the profits from drug sales. In March 2005, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity of Syrrx, which is now known as Takeda San
Diego, Inc. At this time, the Company does not know what impact, if any, this acquisition will have on the DPP IV collaboration with Takeda San Diego.



In April 2003, the Company made an equity investment in Chemokine Therapeutics Corp. In connection with this investment, Chemokine granted the Company an
exclusive option to license a proprietary peptide for a one-time license fee of $1.5 million. The Company is waiting for the results of an on-going Phase I study to determine if it will exercise its option. If the Company chooses to exercise this
option, it will be obligated to pay the license fee plus the costs for future development work on the peptide. Chemokine also granted the Company the right to first negotiate a license to other peptides.



In November 2003, the Company became a limited partner in A. M. Pappas Life
Science Ventures III, LP, a venture capital fund. The Pappas Fund was established for the purpose of making investments in equity securities of privately held companies in the life sciences, healthcare and technology industries. The Company has
committed to invest up to an aggregate of approximately $2.5 million in the Pappas Fund. No capital call can exceed 10% of the

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)



Companys aggregate capital commitment and no more than two-thirds of the
Companys commitment could be called prior to May 2005. As such, the Company anticipates that its aggregate investment will be made through a series of future capital calls over the next several years. Capital calls through March 31, 2005 were
$165,000. The Companys capital commitment will expire in May 2009.



In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company acquired from Eli Lilly & Company the patents for the compound dapoxetine for development in the field of genitourinary disorders. This compound is currently licensed to
ALZA Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, and is being developed for premature ejaculation. Under the terms of the agreement with Lilly, the Company paid Lilly $65.0 million in cash and agreed to pay Lilly a royalty of 5% on annual
net sales of dapoxetine in excess of $800 million. Dapoxetine has not been approved for sale in the United States or any foreign country.



As of March 31, 2005, the Company had liabilities of $4.9 million for certain unsettled matters in connection with tax positions taken in the
Companys tax returns that include interpretations of applicable income tax laws and regulations. Such amounts are based on managements expectation regarding the ultimate tax treatment and outcome of these matters. The Company believes it
is unlikely that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



In January 2005, the Company acquired approximately 7.5 acres of property located in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, on which the Company plans to
construct a new headquarters building. The total purchase price for the land was approximately $2.8 million. In connection with the sale of the property, the seller, Almont Shipping Company, refinanced existing liens on the property with the
proceeds of an $8.0 million loan from Bank of America, N.A. This loan will mature in January 2006 and is secured by a lien on substantially all of Almonts assets, including an approximately 30-acre tract of land adjacent to the tract the
Company acquired. This loan is also secured by a guarantee from the Company. In accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, as clarified by FASB Interpretation No. 45, the Company has recorded
a liability in the amount of $0.8 million for the estimated fair value of the obligation the Company has assumed under this guarantee. Almonts obligation to reimburse the Company in the event the Company is required to pay any sums to Bank of
America under the guarantee is also secured by a lien on substantially all of Almonts assets. As a part of this transaction, Almont granted the Company an option to purchase all or a portion of the adjacent 30-acre tract of land at an agreed
upon price per acre. The option will expire on January 31, 2007.



Under most of the agreements for Development Group services, the Company agrees to indemnify and defend the sponsor against third-party claims based on the Companys negligence or willful misconduct. Any successful claims could have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.



In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings. In addition to other pending claims, the Company is
currently in litigation with a former client that has sued the Company for breach of contract and tortious acts in conducting a clinical trial. That former client is claiming that it does not owe the Company the remaining amounts due under the
contract and is seeking other damages from the Companys alleged breach of contract and tortious acts. The Company records a reserve for these litigation matters when an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the potential liability is
reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management of the Company, after consultation with legal counsel, does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect
upon the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for an interim or annual period.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated condensed
financial statements and accompanying notes. In this discussion, the words PPD, we, our and us refer to Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc., together with its subsidiaries where appropriate.



Forward-looking Statements



This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performances, expectations,
predictions, assumptions and other statements that are not statements of historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as might, will, should, expect,
plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, intend, potential or continue, or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. These
statements are only predictions. These statements rely on a number of assumptions and estimates that could be inaccurate and that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results might differ materially due to a number of factors,
including those listed in Potential Volatility of Quarterly Operating Results and Stock Price below. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.



Company Overview



We are a leading global provider of drug discovery and
development services and products to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies. Our corporate mission is to help clients maximize the return on their research and development investments. We offer broad therapeutic expertise,
advanced technologies and extensive resources for drug discovery and drug and device development. In addition to providing discovery through post-market services, we also offer our clients compound partnering opportunities.



We have been in the drug development business for more than 19 years. Our
development services include preclinical programs and Phase I to Phase IV clinical development services. We have extensive clinical trial experience across a multitude of therapeutic areas and various parts of the world, including regional, national
and global studies. In addition, for drugs that have received approval for market use, we also offer post-market support services such as product launch services, patient compliance programs, disease registry programs, and medical communications
programs for consumer and healthcare providers on product use and adverse events.



With more than 7,100 professionals worldwide, we have provided services to 41 of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies in the world as ranked by 2003 healthcare research and development spending, in addition to our work
with leading biotechnology and medical device companies. We believe that we are one of the worlds largest providers of drug development services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies based on 2004 annual net revenues
generated from contract research organizations.



Building on
our outsourcing relationship with pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients, we established our discovery services business in 1997. After restructuring the Discovery Sciences segment in 2003 and 2004, this business now primarily focuses on
preclinical evaluations of anticancer therapies and compound partnering arrangements associated with the development and commercialization of potential drug products. We have developed a risk-sharing research and development model to help
pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients develop compounds. Through collaborative arrangements based on this model, we assist our clients research and evaluate the development and commercial potential for compounds at various stages of
development. In February 2005, we completed the acquisition of a biomarker business. This acquisition will expand our discovery sciences business by adding biomarker discovery and patient sample analysis capability to the services offered by us.



We believe that our integrated drug discovery and development
services offer our clients a way to identify and develop successful drugs more quickly and cost-effectively. We also use our proprietary informatics technology to support our development services. In addition, because we are positioned globally, we
are able to accommodate the multinational drug discovery and development needs of our customers. As a result of having these core areas of expertise in discovery and development, we can provide integrated services across the entire drug development
spectrum. For more detailed information on PPD, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Executive Overview



Because our revenues are dependent on a relatively small number of industries and clients, we closely monitor the market for our services. For a
discussion of the trends affecting our market, see Item 1. BusinessTrends Affecting the Drug Discovery and Development Industry in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



While we cannot predict the demand for CRO services in the remainder of 2005,
we believe the overall historical market drivers for our industry are intact. To grow authorizations in the remainder of 2005, we plan to continue to focus on our business development efforts, including increasing the percentage of successful
proposals and the delivery of timely, high quality services to our clients. We believe there are several specific opportunities for growth in the remainder of 2005. We currently conduct a significant amount of government-sponsored research and plan
to continue our efforts to win new opportunities in this market. Our Latin American and European Phase II through IV units had an excellent 2004 and first quarter of 2005 and we believe there are opportunities for continued growth in these areas. We
have also experienced an increase in the demand for our Phase I services, so we expanded our Phase I clinic in Austin, Texas to 300 beds to enhance our ability to service large, complex studies. This expansion was completed in April 2005 and the new
Phase I unit is in operation. In 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, the demand for our bioanalytical and GMP services increased and we have expanded our GMP laboratory facilities and invested in new equipment to meet this increased demand. Finally,
we also believe the demand for our post-marketing development services will continue to grow.



We review various metrics, including period-to-period growth in backlog, new authorizations, cancellation rates, revenue, margins and earnings, to evaluate our financial performance. In the first quarter of 2005, we
had new authorizations of $331.3 million, an increase of 20.0% over the first quarter of 2004. The cancellation rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 15% compared to 22% in the full year of 2004. On a net basis, authorizations were up 26% in the
first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Backlog grew to $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2005, up 16% over March 31, 2004. Backlog by client type as of March 31, 2005 was 54% pharmaceutical, 34% biotech and 12% government/other.
Backlog by client type as of December 31, 2004 was 58% pharmaceutical, 28% biotech and 14% government/other. This change in the composition of our backlog reflects an increase in new authorizations from both large and small biotech clients. Net
revenue by client type for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was 63% pharmaceutical, 28% biotech and 9% government/other. Top therapeutic areas by net revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were anti-infective/anti-viral, oncology, central
nervous system, circulatory/cardiovascular and endocrine/metabolic. For a detailed discussion of our revenue, margins, earnings and other financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, see Results of Operations  Three Months
Ended March 31, 2005 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 below.



Capital expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 totaled approximately $58.4 million. Capital expenditures included $30.5 million for our new corporate airplane and $8.6 million related to leasehold
improvements to the new clinic in Austin, Texas. The majority of the remaining capital expenditures included spending on software, computer hardware and additional scientific equipment for our Phase I and laboratory units. In addition to investing
in our growing business, we are also focused on improving the efficiency of our operations by streamlining training matrices and clinical procedural documents, decreasing the number of documents needed for study initiation, centralizing regulatory
document collection and rolling out a new clinical trial management system.



In February 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets of SurroMed, Inc.s biomarker business. This acquisition expands our discovery business by adding biomarker discovery and patient sample analysis to
the discovery services offered by us. Our Discovery Sciences segment also includes our compound collaboration arrangements. These collaborations allow us to leverage our resources and global drug development expertise to create new opportunities for
growth and to share the risks and potential rewards of drug development. For a background discussion of our compound partnering arrangements, see Item 1. Business  Our Services  Our Discovery Sciences Group  Compound
Partnering Programs in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In the first quarter of 2005, we made significant progress on two important collaborations. First, in
February 2005, the FDA accepted the dapoxetine new drug application for filing and we received the $10.0 million payment from ALZA Corporation for this milestone in March. Secondly, with regard to the DPP IV collaboration with Takeda San Diego
(formerly Syrrx, Inc.), we completed the Phase Ib study in patients for the first DPP IV inhibitor in March 2005 and initiated the Phase II program for that inhibitor in April. We also commenced the Phase I first in man study for the second DPP IV
inhibitor in April 2005.



In the first quarter of 2005, we also
elected to terminate the implitapide program for various reasons and are in the process of winding down these studies and our collaboration with Bayer A.G. With regard to our collaboration with Chemokine Therapeutics Corp. regarding its proprietary
peptide for possible use as a blood recovery agent, we are waiting on the results of the Phase I study before deciding whether to exercise our option to license this peptide.



As a result of these arrangements and the progression of our pipeline, we expect to continue to incur significant R&D
expense during the remainder of 2005. Furthermore, in addition to progressing our existing collaborations, we will continue to evaluate opportunities for new collaborations and investments that we believe will help us achieve our mid- to long-term
growth objectives.



Acquisitions



In February 2005, we completed our acquisition of substantially all of the
assets of SurroMed, Inc.s biomarker business. The assets acquired by us consist of equipment, fixtures, leasehold improvements, intellectual property and contracts. The biomarker business supports drug discovery and drug development by
identifying biomarkers using biological, chemical and bioinformatics expertise and technologies. The acquisition expands our business by adding biomarker discovery and patient sample analysis capability to the services offered by us. In exchange for
the assets, we surrendered to SurroMed for cancellation all shares of preferred stock of SurroMed we held. As additional consideration for the acquisition, we assumed approximately $3.4 million of SurroMed liabilities under capital leases and
certain additional operating liabilities and agreed to guarantee repayment of up to $1.5 million under a SurroMed bank loan. We recognized a pre-tax gain on the exchange of assets of $5.1 million. The biomarker business is now part of the Discovery
Sciences segment.



We accounted for this acquisition using the
purchase method of accounting, utilizing appropriate fair value techniques to allocate the purchase price based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed were included in our consolidated condensed balance sheet as of the effective date of the acquisition. For further details regarding this acquisition, see Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.



Investments



In January 2004, we purchased 5.0 million shares of Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Series E convertible preferred stock
for $5.0 million. At that time, we also received a Class A and Class B warrant, each to purchase up to an additional 5.0 million shares of Series E convertible preferred stock for $1.00 per share. In January 2005, PPD exercised the Class A warrant
of Accentia and purchased an additional 5.0 million shares of Series E convertible preferred stock for $5.0 million. In February 2005, Accentia filed a registration statement with the SEC for its proposed initial public offering of common stock.
Accentia proposes to sell in this public offering, in addition to shares for its own account, up to $12.0 million of common stock issuable to us upon conversion of 5.0 million shares of the Series E convertible preferred stock held by us.



In March 2005, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited completed
its acquisition of 100% of the equity of Syrrx, Inc. We owned $25.0 million in preferred stock of Syrrx. Takeda paid us $25.0 million in April 2005 for our preferred stock in Syrrx. For further details regarding investments, see Note 6 to the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.



Restructuring Charges



In the first quarter and second quarter of 2004, we recorded a $0.5
million and $2.1 million restructuring charge, respectively, associated with exiting our chemistry facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. These charges include lease payments and termination costs, net of sublease rentals, of
approximately $2.1 million and a loss on sale of assets used in our chemistry services of approximately $0.5 million. The lease termination liability will be paid over the remaining life of the lease, which terminates in 2015.

New Business Authorizations and Backlog



New business authorizations, which are sales of our services, are added to backlog when we enter into a contract or letter
of intent or receive a verbal commitment. Authorizations can vary significantly from quarter to quarter, and contracts generally have terms ranging from several months to several years. We recognize revenue on these authorizations as services are
performed. Our new authorizations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 were $276.0 million and $331.3 million, respectively.



Our backlog consists of new business authorizations for which the work has not started but is anticipated to begin in the near future, and contracts in
process that have not been completed. As of March 31, 2005, the remaining duration of the contracts in our backlog ranged from one month to 174 months with an average duration of 27.4 months. Amounts included in backlog represent future revenue and
exclude revenue that we have previously recognized. Once work begins on a project included in backlog, net revenue is recognized over the life of the contract. However, there can be no assurance that our backlog will ever be recognized as revenue.
Our backlog as of March 31, 2004 and 2005 was $1.16 billion and $1.35 billion, respectively.



Results of Operations



Revenue Recognition



We record revenue from
fixed-price contracts on a proportional performance basis in our Development Group. To measure performance on a given date, we compare direct costs incurred through that date to estimated total contract direct costs. We believe this is the best
indicator of the performance of the contractual obligations because the costs relate primarily to the amount of labor incurred to perform the service. Changes to the estimated total contract direct costs result in a cumulative adjustment to the
amount of revenue recognized. For time-and-materials contracts in both our Development Group and Discovery Sciences Group, we recognize revenues as hours are worked, multiplied by the applicable hourly rate. For our Phase I and laboratory
businesses, we recognize revenues from unitized contracts as subjects or samples are tested, multiplied by the applicable unit price.



In connection with the management of multi-site clinical trials, we pay, on behalf of our customers, fees to investigators and test subjects as well as
other out-of-pocket costs for items such as travel, printing, meetings and couriers. Our clients reimburse us for these costs. As required by EITF 01-14, amounts paid by us as a principal for out-of-pocket costs are included in direct costs as
reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses and the reimbursements we receive as a principal are reported as reimbursed out-of-pocket revenue. In our statements of operations, we combine amounts paid by us as an agent for out-of-pocket costs with the
corresponding reimbursements, or revenue, we receive as an agent. During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, fees paid to investigators and other fees we paid as an agent and the associated reimbursements were approximately $59.9 million
and $69.8 million, respectively.



Most of the contracts for our
Development Group can be terminated by our clients either immediately or after a specified period following notice by the client. These contracts typically require payment to us of expenses to wind down a study, fees earned to date, and in some
cases, a termination fee or some portion of the fees or profit that we could have earned under the contract if it had not been terminated early. Therefore, revenue recognized prior to cancellation does not generally require a significant adjustment
upon cancellation. If we determine that a loss will result from the performance of a fixed-price contract, the entire amount of the estimated loss is charged against income in the period in which such determination is made.



The Discovery Sciences Group also generates revenue from time to time in the
form of milestone payments in connection with licensing of compounds. We only recognize milestone payments as revenue if the specified milestone is achieved and accepted by the customer, payment received and continued performance of future research
and development services related to that milestone are not required.

Recording of Expenses



We generally record our operating expenses among the following categories:



| |  |  | direct costs;
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | research and development;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | selling, general and administrative;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | depreciation and
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | amortization.
| | - |  | -------------



Direct costs consist of appropriate amounts necessary to carry out the revenue and earnings process, and include direct labor and related benefit charges,
other costs directly related to contracts, an allocation of facility and information technology costs, and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. Direct costs, as a percentage of net revenue, tend to and are expected to fluctuate from one period to
another as a result of changes in labor utilization and the mix of service offerings involved in the hundreds of studies being conducted during any period of time.



Research and development, or R&D, expenses consist primarily of patent expenses, labor and related benefit charges
associated with personnel performing internal research and development work, supplies associated with this work, consulting services and an allocation of facility and information technology costs.



Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily
of administrative payroll and related benefit charges, sales, advertising and promotional expenses, recruiting and relocation expenses, administrative travel, an allocation of facility and information technology costs, and costs related to
operational employees performing administrative tasks.



Depreciation consists of depreciation costs recorded on a straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives of 40 to 50 years for buildings, five years for laboratory equipment, two to five years for software, computers and related
equipment, and five to ten years for furniture and equipment, except for airplanes, which we depreciate over 30 years. We depreciate leasehold improvements over the shorter of the life of the relevant lease or the useful life of the improvement. We
depreciate property under capital leases over the life of the lease or the service life, whichever is shorter.



Amortization consists of amortization costs recorded on intangible assets on a straight-line method over the life of the intangible assets.

Total net revenue
increased $48.8 million to $244.1 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in total net revenue resulted primarily from an increase in our Development Group revenue and the $10.0 million milestone payment from ALZA Corporation related to
the filing of the new drug application, or NDA, for dapoxetine in the first quarter of 2005. The Development Groups operations generated net revenue of $212.9 million, which accounted for 87.2% of total net revenue for the first quarter of
2005. The 21.9% increase in the Development Groups net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the level of global CRO Phase II through IV services we provided in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004.



The Discovery Sciences Group generated net revenue of $12.9
million in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of $5.3 million from the first quarter of 2004. The increase in the Discovery Sciences net revenue was mainly attributable to the $10.0 million milestone payment related to the filing of the
dapoxetine NDA. In 2004, we received a $5.0 million payment from ALZA in connection with an amendment to the dapoxetine out-license agreement.



Total direct costs increased $25.6 million to $128.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 primarily as the result of an increase in the Development Group
direct costs. Development Group direct costs increased $20.1 million to

##### Table of Contents

$108.3 million in the first quarter of 2005. The primary reason for this increase was an increase in personnel costs of $12.4 million. Personnel costs
increased due to hiring additional employees in our global CRO Phase II through IV division and increased costs in our foreign operations due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar. The remaining $7.7 million of this increase in Development direct
costs primarily consisted of increased facility costs related to the increase in personnel and increased subcontractor costs to support increased revenue.



Discovery Sciences direct costs increased $0.2 million to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. The higher costs in the first quarter of 2005 related
primarily to additional direct costs related to our acquisition of the biomarker business from SurroMed.



Gross margin from the Development segment was 49.1% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 49.5% in the first quarter of 2004. The decrease is due to
the relocation of the Phase I clinic in Austin, Texas and lower revenues from MRL, our specialty central laboratory.



R&D expenses increased $7.5 million to $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. R&D expenses increased as a result of increased spending in
connection with our existing compound partnering arrangements. We expect to continue to incur significant R&D expenses in 2005 in connection with our existing compound partnering arrangements.



SG&A expenses increased $10.3 million to $55.4 million in the first
quarter of 2005. As a percentage of total net revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 22.7% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 23.1% in the first quarter of 2004. The increase in SG&A expenses includes additional personnel costs of $5.8
million. The increase in personnel costs related to training costs for new personnel, higher levels of operations infrastructure to manage direct personnel and changes in utilization levels. The increase in SG&A costs also includes an additional
$1.4 million in recruiting costs to hire additional personnel and an increase of $1.3 million in travel costs due to training initiatives for new and existing operations personnel and increased travel related to additional personnel in
administrative functions.



Depreciation increased $1.6 million
to $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was related to the depreciation of the property and equipment we acquired to accommodate our growth. Capital expenditures were $58.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. Capital
expenditures included $30.5 million for our new corporate airplane and $8.6 million related to leasehold improvements to the new clinic in Austin, Texas. The majority of the remaining capital expenditures included spending on software, computer
hardware, and additional scientific equipment for our Phase I and laboratory units.



Operating income increased $9.4 million to $47.9 million in the first quarter of 2005. As a percentage of net revenue, operating income decreased slightly to 19.6% of net revenue in the first quarter of 2005 from
19.7% in the first quarter of 2004. Operating income in the first quarter of 2005 included a $5.1 million gain on exchange of assets associated with the acquisition of SurroMed, Inc.s biomarker business. Operating income in the first quarter
of 2004 included a $0.5 million in restructuring charge associated with exiting our chemistry facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Operating income in the first quarter of 2005 was also negatively impacted by approximately $1.4
million due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro, British pound and Brazilian real. During the first quarter of 2005, we recorded a foreign currency hedging gain of $93,000, resulting in a net impact to operating income of $1.3
million attributable to foreign currency transactions. Although these currency movements increased net revenue in the aggregate, the negative impact on operating income is attributable to dollar-denominated contracts for services rendered in
countries other than the United States. In these cases, revenue is not impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar, but the costs associated with performing these contracts, which are paid in local currency, are negatively impacted when translated
into U.S. dollars.



Our provision for income taxes decreased
$0.7 million to $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2005. Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 27.5% compared to 36.5% for the first quarter of 2004. The effective tax rate was positively impacted by a $3.7 million
reduction in our valuation allowance provided for the deferred tax asset relating to a capital loss carryforward due to the recognition of capital gains for both the SurroMed transaction and the dapoxetine NDA milestone. This reduction in the
valuation allowances decreased the effective tax rate by 7.5%. The remaining difference in our effective rates for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004 is due to the change in the geographic distribution of our pretax
earnings among locations with varying tax rates.

Net income of $35.6 million in the first quarter of 2005 represents an increase of $10.9 million from
$24.8 million in the first quarter of 2004. Net income per diluted share of $0.62 in the first quarter of 2005 represents a 40.9% increase from net income per diluted share of $0.44 in the first quarter of 2004. Net income per diluted share for the
first quarter of 2005 included $0.07 per share, net of tax, for the gain on exchange of assets associated with the acquisition of SurroMeds biomarker business.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of March 31, 2005, we had $236.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. Our expected primary cash needs on both a short- and long-term basis are for
capital expenditures, including our new corporate headquarters, expansion of services, possible acquisitions, geographic expansion, working capital and other general corporate purposes. We have historically funded our operations and growth,
including acquisitions, with cash flow from operations, leasing arrangements, borrowings and sales of our stock. We invest our cash and cash equivalents in financial instruments that are rated A or better by Standard & Poors or
Moodys, and earn interest at market rates.



In the first
quarter of 2005, our operating activities provided $47.4 million in cash as compared to $30.9 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash flow from operations is primarily due to a $10.9 million increase in net income, partially
offset by a non-cash gain on exchange of assets of $5.1 million, a non-cash increase in provision for deferred income taxes of $5.1 million and an increase in cash related to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $5.5 million as compared to
an increase of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2004. The increase related to changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of an increase in current income taxes of $15.2 million and an increase in payables to investigators of
$6.4 million partially offset by a decrease in unearned income of $7.5 million, an increase in receivables and unbilled services of $4.9 million and a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $5.1 million.



In the first quarter of 2005, we generated $41.5 million in cash from
investing activities. The net cash provided by purchases, maturities and sales of available-for-sale investments of $105.0 million was partially offset by investments of $5.1 million and capital expenditures of $58.4 million. We expect our capital
expenditures for the remainder of 2005 to be approximately $65.0 million to $70.0 million. This estimate includes 2005 construction costs of $30.0 million to $35.0 million for the new corporate headquarters building in Wilmington, North Carolina
which we estimate will be completed in late 2006. The majority of the remaining anticipated capital expenditures will relate to equipment for our Phase I and laboratory units, and information technology enhancement and expansion.



In the first quarter of 2005, our financing activities provided $4.3 million
in cash, as net proceeds from stock option exercises and purchases under our employee stock purchase plan totaling $4.8 million were partially offset by $0.4 million in repayments of capital lease obligations.



Working capital as of March 31, 2005 was $235.7 million, compared to $257.1
million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in working capital was due primarily to a decrease in cash and short-term investments of $13.0 million, a decrease in income tax receivable of $6.3 million, an increase of payables to investigators of $6.1
million, and a increase of accrued income taxes of $7.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in other accrued expenses of $6.7 million and a decrease in unearned income of $6.9 million. The number of days revenue outstanding in accounts
receivable and unbilled services, net of unearned income, also known as DSO, was 32.2 and 40.0 days as of March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. We calculate DSO by dividing accounts receivable and unbilled services less unearned income by
average daily gross revenue for the period presented. Over the past three years, our year-to-date DSO has fluctuated between 32.2 days and 43.2 days. We expect DSO will fluctuate in the future depending on the mix of contracts performed within a
quarter, the level of investigator advances and unearned income, and our success in collecting receivables.



In July 2004, we renewed our $50.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N. A. Indebtedness under the facility is unsecured and subject
to traditional covenants relating to financial ratios and restrictions on certain types of transactions. Borrowings under this credit facility are available to provide working capital and for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2005, there
was no amount outstanding under this credit facility. However, the aggregate amount we are able to borrow has been reduced by $0.8 million due to outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility. This credit facility is currently scheduled
to expire in June 2005, at which time any outstanding balance would be due.

In April 2000, we made an investment in Spotlight Health, Inc. We subsequently entered into an agreement
to guarantee a $2.0 million revolving line of credit that is now being provided to Spotlight Health by Bank of America. Indebtedness under the line of credit is unsecured and subject to traditional covenants relating to financial ratios. This credit
facility is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2005, at which time any outstanding balance would be due. As of March 31, 2005, Spotlight Health had $2.0 million outstanding under this credit facility. In accordance with the requirements of FASB
Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, as clarified by FASB Interpretation No. 45, we have recorded a liability in the amount of $0.2 million for the estimated fair value of the obligation we have assumed under this guarantee. We
review the financial statements of Spotlight Health on a quarterly basis to determine if it has sufficient financial resources to continue operations. Future events and circumstances might adversely affect Spotlight Healths financial condition
and Spotlight Health might not be in the position to repay the facility, in which case Bank of America might attempt to collect against us on our guarantee.



In February 2005, we acquired substantially all of SurroMeds assets related to its biomarker business. As part of this acquisition, we agreed to
guarantee repayment of up to $1.5 million under a SurroMed bank loan with a maturity date of December 31, 2006. In accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, as clarified by FASB
Interpretation No. 45, we have recorded a liability in the amount of $150,000 for the estimated fair value of the obligation assumed under this guarantee.



In November 2003, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Syrrx to jointly develop and commercialize human dipeptidyl peptidase IV, or DPP IV,
inhibitors as drug products for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and other major human diseases. Under the terms of the agreement, we are obligated to provide preclinical and clinical development resources and expertise for the collaboration, and to
fund the majority of preclinical and clinical studies through Phase IIb development of selected DPP IV inhibitors. PPD and Syrrx agreed to share equally the costs of Phase III development. In addition, we agreed to make milestone payments up to an
aggregate amount equal to $17.5 million for each collaboration product upon the occurrence of certain clinical and regulatory events. In September 2004, we filed an investigational new drug application for one DPP IV inhibitor and the Phase I
clinical study for that inhibitor commenced in late October 2004. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we paid Syrrx a milestone payment of $2.5 million as a result of the commencement of the Phase I studies. These studies were completed in March 2005. We
began the Phase II program in April and will be required to pay a milestone payment of $2.5 million in the second quarter. The remaining milestone payments under the collaboration agreement will be expensed when the event triggering payment of the
milestone occurs. In the event we are successful in obtaining approval to market a drug product under the collaboration, the parties will share equally the profits from drug sales. In March 2005, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited completed the
acquisition of 100% of the equity of Syrrx, which is now known as Takeda San Diego, Inc. We owned $25.0 million in preferred stock of Syrrx, for which Takeda paid us $25.0 million in April 2005. At this time, we do not know what impact, if any, this
acquisition will have on our DPP IV collaboration with Takeda San Diego.



In April 2003, we made an equity investment in Chemokine Therapeutics Corp. In connection with this investment, Chemokine granted us an exclusive option to license a proprietary peptide for a one-time license fee of
$1.5 million. We are waiting for the results of an on-going Phase I study to determine if we will exercise our option. If we choose to exercise this option, we will be obligated to pay the one-time license fee plus the costs for future development
work on the peptide. Chemokine also granted us the right to first negotiate a license to other peptides.



In November 2003, we became a limited partner in A. M. Pappas Life Science Ventures III, LP, a venture capital fund. The Pappas Fund was established for
the purpose of making investments in equity securities of privately-held companies in the life sciences, healthcare and technology industries. We are committed to invest up to an aggregate of approximately $2.5 million in the Pappas Fund. No capital
call can exceed 10% of our aggregate capital commitment, and no more than two-thirds of our commitment could be called prior to May 2005. As such, we anticipate that our aggregate investment will be made through a series of future capital calls over
the next several years. Capital calls through March 31, 2005 were $165,000. Our capital commitment will expire in May 2009.



In January 2005, we acquired approximately 7.5 acres of property located in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, on which we plan to construct a new
headquarters building. The new facility will be approximately 400,000 square feet and is expected to be completed in November 2006. At that time, we will begin consolidating our Wilmington operations into the new building. We expect the total cost
for the construction and up-fit of the new building to be $80.0 million to $100.0 million. The purchase price for the land was approximately $2.8 million. In connection with the sale of the property, the seller, Almont Shipping Company, refinanced
existing liens on the property with the proceeds of an $8.0 million loan from Bank of America. This loan will mature in January 2006

and is secured by a lien on substantially all of Almonts assets, including an approximately 30-acre tract of land adjacent to the tract we acquired.
This loan is also secured by a guarantee from us. In accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, as clarified by FASB Interpretation No. 45, we have recorded a liability in the amount of $0.8
million for the estimated fair value of the obligation we have assumed under this guarantee. Almonts obligation to reimburse us in the event we are required to pay any sums to Bank of America under the guarantee is also secured by a lien on
substantially all of Almonts assets. As a part of this transaction, Almont granted us an option to purchase all or a portion of the adjacent 30-acre tract of land at an agreed upon price per acre. The option will expire on January 31, 2007.



The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 introduced a special
one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer. We have not previously recorded a U.S. tax liability on such revenues since we intended to permanently reinvest them in our foreign operations.
No provision is being made in the first quarter of 2005 relating to this matter because we are currently evaluating the effect of the new Act on our plan for these undistributed foreign earnings. We expect to complete this evaluation by the end of
June 2005. The income tax effect of repatriating these earnings is not estimable at this time.



As of March 31, 2005, we had liabilities of $4.9 million for certain unsettled matters in connection with tax positions taken in the Companys tax returns that include interpretations of applicable income tax
laws and regulations. Such amounts are based on managements expectation regarding the ultimate tax treatment and outcome of these matters. We believe it is unlikely that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on
our financial position or results of operations.



Under most of
our agreements for Development Group services, we agree to indemnify and defend the sponsor against third party claims based on our negligence or willful misconduct. Any successful claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and future prospects.



We
expect to continue expanding our operations through internal growth and strategic acquisitions and investments. We expect these activities will be funded from existing cash, cash flow from operations and, if necessary or appropriate, borrowings
under our existing or future credit facilities. We believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. From time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions, investments and other growth
opportunities that might require additional external financing, and we might seek funds from public or private issuances of equity or debt securities. In any event, our sources of liquidity could be affected by our dependence on a small number of
industries and clients, compliance with regulations, international risks, personal injury, environmental or intellectual property claims, as well as other factors described below under Potential Volatility of Quarterly Operating Results and
Stock Price and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. In addition, see Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments and Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates



There were no material
changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in the first quarter of 2005. For detailed information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



Recently Issued Accounting Standards



For information about recently issued accounting standards, see Recent
Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 to our financial statements in Item I.



Income Taxes



Because we conduct operations on
a global basis, our effective tax rate has and will continue to depend upon the geographic distribution of our pretax earnings among locations with varying tax rates. Our profits are also impacted by changes in the tax rates of the various taxing
jurisdictions. In particular, as the geographic mix of our pre-tax earnings among various tax jurisdictions changes, our effective tax rate might vary from period to period.

##### Table of Contents

Inflation



Our long-term contracts, those in excess of one year, generally include an inflation or cost of living adjustment or factor for the portion of the
services to be performed beyond one year from the contract date. As a result, we expect that inflation generally will not have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.



Potential Volatility of Quarterly Operating Results and Stock Price



Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past, and
we expect that they will continue to fluctuate in the future. Factors that could cause these fluctuations to occur include:



| |  |  | the timing of our Discovery Sciences Group milestone payments or other revenue;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and amount of costs associated with R&D and compound collaborations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exchange rate fluctuations between periods;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our dependence on a small number of industries and clients;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of the initiation, progress or cancellation of significant projects;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and level of new business authorizations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the mix of products and services sold in a particular period;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pricing pressure in the market for our services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to recruit and retain experienced personnel;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rapid technological change;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and amount of start-up costs incurred in connection with the introduction of new products and services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and extent of new government regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | intellectual property risks;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | impairment of investments or intangible assets;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of the opening of new offices;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of other internal expansion costs; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and amount of costs associated with integrating acquisitions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



Delays and terminations of trials are often the result of actions taken by our customers or regulatory authorities, and are not typically controllable by
us. Because a large percentage of our operating costs are relatively fixed while revenue is subject to fluctuation, variations in the timing and progress of large contracts can materially affect our quarterly operating results. For these reasons, we
believe that comparisons of our quarterly financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.



Fluctuations in quarterly results or other factors beyond our control could affect the market price of our common stock. These factors include changes
in earnings estimates by analysts, market conditions in our industry, announcements by competitors, changes in pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries, general economic conditions, and differences in assumptions used as compared
to actual results. Any effect on our common stock could be unrelated to our longer-term operating performance. For more detail, see Factors that Might Affect our Business or Stock Price in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



We are exposed to foreign currency risk by virtue of our international operations. Approximately 23.6% and 27.2% of our total net revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, were derived from operations outside the United States. Funds generated by each subsidiary are generally reinvested in the country where they are earned. Our operations in the United Kingdom
generated approximately 44.8% of our net revenue from international operations during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Accordingly, we are exposed to adverse movements in the pound sterling and other foreign currencies.



The vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U. S. or U. K.
subsidiaries. The contracts entered into by the U. S. subsidiaries are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars. Contracts entered into by our U. K. subsidiaries are generally denominated in pounds sterling, U.S. dollars or euros, but the majority
of these contracts are in U.S. dollars. Although an increase in exchange rates for the pound sterling or euro relative to the U.S. dollar would increase net revenue from contracts denominated in these currencies, the negative impact on operating
income is attributable to dollar-denominated contracts for services rendered in countries other than the United States. In these cases, revenue is not impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar, but the costs associated with performing these
contracts, which are paid in local currency, are negatively impacted when translated into U.S. dollars. In January 2004, we began engaging in hedging activities in an effort to manage our potential foreign exchange exposure.



We also have currency risk resulting from the passage of time between the
invoicing of customers under contracts and the ultimate collection of customer payments against those invoices. If a contract is denominated in a currency other than the subsidiarys local currency, we recognize a receivable at the time of
invoicing for the local currency equivalent of the foreign currency invoice amount. Changes in exchange rates from the time the invoice is prepared until payment from the customer is received will result in our receiving either more or less in local
currency than the local currency equivalent of the invoice amount at the time the invoice was prepared and the receivable established. We recognize this difference as a foreign currency transaction gain or loss, as applicable, and report it in other
income, net. We do not expect that a 10% increase or decrease in exchange rates would have a material effect on our financial statements.



Our strategy for management of currency risk relies primarily on conducting our operations in a countrys currency, making intercompany foreign
currency denominated loans and from time to time, using currency derivatives, primarily forward exchange contracts. As of March 31, 2005, we had open foreign exchange derivative contracts with a face amount totaling $59.4 million to buy the local
currencies of our foreign subsidiaries. The estimated fair value of the foreign currency derivative portfolio was $0.4 million recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets, and we recorded $87,000 as a component of other
accrued expenses. The potential loss resulting from a hypothetical weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the pound sterling and euro of 10% would have been approximately $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 based on first quarter
2005 revenues and the costs related to our foreign operations. Because our foreign currency hedging activities would partially offset these potential losses, we do not expect that a 10% change in exchange rates in the future would have a material
effect on our financial statements.



Changes in exchange rates
between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of foreign subsidiaries financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results. The process by which we translate
each foreign subsidiarys financial results to U.S. dollars is as follows:



| |  |  | we translate income statement accounts at average exchange rates for the period;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we translate balance sheet assets and liability accounts at end of period exchange rates; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we translate equity accounts at historical exchange rates.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



Translation of the balance sheet in this manner affects shareholders equity through the cumulative translation adjustment account. This account
exists only in the foreign subsidiarys U.S. dollar balance sheet and is necessary to keep the foreign balance sheet, stated in U.S. dollars, in balance. Translation adjustments are reported with accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as
a separate component of shareholders equity. To date, cumulative translation adjustments have not been material to our consolidated financial position. However, future translation adjustments could materially and adversely affect our financial
position.

Currently, there are no material exchange controls on the payment of dividends or otherwise prohibiting
the transfer of funds out of or from within any country in which we conduct operations. Although we perform services for clients located in a number of foreign jurisdictions, we have not experienced any difficulties in receiving funds remitted from
foreign countries. However, new or modified exchange control restrictions could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.



We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our cash equivalents and amounts outstanding under notes payable and lines of credit. We invest our cash
and cash equivalents in financial instruments with interest rates based on financial market conditions. We do not expect that a 10% change in interest rates in the future would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.
