Conference Summary

Release date: November 7, 2008
for quarter ending: September 30, 2008 (3rd quarter)

Forward-looking statements

Please note: No analyst conference was held, but see my article on the recent conference on the Provenge interim results.

Overview: Now waiting for Provenge complete results. Spending way too much money per quarter given they have just 1 trial they really need to complete.

Basic data (GAAP):

Revenue was $26,000.

Net loss was $26.8 million.

EPS negative $0.29.

Guidance:

None.

Conference Highlights:

Included in the net loss was a $9.1 million non-cash charge representing an increase in the fair value of warrants issued on April 3, 2008.

Cash and equivalents ended at $106.6 millon. After the end of the quarter Dendreon took $19.8 million from an equity line of credit.

IMPACT Provenge interim results for men with metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer showed a 20% reduction in the risk of death relative to palcebo. [Not in press release, but at prior conference management indicated most likely this rate of reduction will rise in the final analysis, to a level that would ensure FDA approval]

Two further Phase 2 Provenge trials for prostate cancers were initiated in the quarter. Preclinical data from D-3263, a potential cancer therapy, was presented during the quarter.

Final results should be around middle of 2009.

Q&A:

None.
