Organon and Bristol-Myers Squibb due to the completion in 2009 of the target discovery portion of these alliances and reduced revenues under our alliance with Taconic Farms in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in 2009.

Other Information
|
|
·
|
We will need additional capital in the future and, if it is unavailable, we will be forced to significantly curtail or cease our operations. If it is not available on reasonable terms, we will be forced to obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
|
|
·
|
We have a history of net losses, and we expect to continue to incur net losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability.
|
|
·
|
Our operating results have been and likely will continue to fluctuate, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not a good indication of our future performance.
|
|
·
|
We are an early-stage company, and have not proven our ability to successfully develop and commercialize drug candidates based on our drug target discoveries.
|
|
·
|
Clinical testing of our drug candidates in humans is an inherently risky and time-consuming process that may fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy, which could result in the delay, limitation or prevention of regulatory approval.
|
|
·
|
Our drug candidates are subject to a lengthy and uncertain regulatory process that may not result in the necessary regulatory approvals, which could adversely affect our ability to commercialize products.
|
|
·
|
If our potential products receive regulatory approval, we or our collaborators will remain subject to extensive and rigorous ongoing regulation.
|
|
·
|
The commercial success of any products that we may develop will depend upon the degree of market acceptance of our products among physicians, patients, health care payors, private health insurers and the medical community.
|
|
·
|
If we are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our drug candidates, we may be unable to generate product revenues.
|
|
·
|
If we are unable to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors for any products that we may develop, our revenues and prospects for profitability will suffer.
|
|
·
|
Our competitors may develop products that make our products obsolete.
|
|
·
|
We may not be able to manufacture our drug candidates in commercial quantities, which would prevent us from commercializing our drug candidates.
|
|
·
|
We are dependent in many ways upon our collaborations with major pharmaceutical companies. The revenues we receive under our existing collaborations have been decreasing in recent periods and are likely to continue to decrease in the future. If we are unable to achieve milestones under our collaborations or if our collaborators’ efforts fail to yield pharmaceutical products on a timely basis, our opportunities to generate revenues and earn royalties will be reduced.
|
|
·
|
Conflicts with our collaborators could jeopardize the success of our collaborative agreements and harm our product development efforts.
|
|
·
|
We rely on third parties to carry out drug development activities.
|
|
·
|
We lack the capability to manufacture materials for preclinical studies, clinical trials or commercial sales and rely on third parties to manufacture our drug candidates, which may harm or delay our product development and commercialization efforts.
|
|
·
|
If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, third parties may be able to use our technology, which could adversely affect our ability to compete in the market.
|
|
·
|
We may be involved in patent litigation and other disputes regarding intellectual property rights and may require licenses from third parties for our discovery and development and planned commercialization activities. We may not prevail in any such litigation or other dispute or be able to obtain required licenses.
|
|
·
|
We use intellectual property that we license from third parties. If we do not comply with these licenses, we could lose our rights under them.
|
|
·
|
We have not sought patent protection outside of the United States for some of our inventions, and some of our licensed patents only provide coverage in the United States. As a result, our international competitors could be granted foreign patent protection with respect to our discoveries.
|
|
·
|
We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that we, our employees or independent contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
|
|
·
|
The loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain additional personnel could impair our ability to expand our operations.
|
|
·
|
Our collaborations with outside scientists may be subject to restriction and change.
|
|
·
|
Security breaches may disrupt our operations and harm our operating results.
|
|
·
|
Because most of our operations are located at a single facility, the occurrence of a disaster could significantly disrupt our business.
|
|
·
|
We use hazardous chemicals and radioactive and biological materials in our business. Any claims relating to improper handling, storage or disposal of these materials could be time consuming and costly.
|
|
·
|
We may be sued for product liability.
|
|
·
|
Our stock price may be extremely volatile.
|
|
·
|
Invus’ ownership of our common stock and its other rights under our stockholders’ agreement we entered into in connection with Invus’ $205.4 million initial investment in our common stock provide Invus with substantial influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, as well as other corporate matters.
|
|
·
|
We may engage in future acquisitions, which may be expensive and time consuming and from which we may not realize anticipated benefits.
|
|
·
|
Future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price.
|
|
·
|
If we are unable to meet Nasdaq continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may take action to delist our common stock.

1.
|
I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.;
|
|
2.
|
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
|
|
3.
|
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
|
|
4.
|
The registrant’s other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
|
|
a)
|
designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
|
|
b)
|
designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
|
|
c)
|
evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
|
|
d)
|
