Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in San Francisco, California and incorporated in Delaware. We are developing a pipeline of drug candidates that utilize our PEGylation and advanced polymer conjugate technology platforms designed to improve the therapeutic benefits of drugs.
Our development activities have required significant resources to date and are expected to continue to require significant resources. As a result, we expect to continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations in the future. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through cash from licensing, collaboration and manufacturing agreements and public and private placements of debt and equity securities. At December 31, 2011, we had approximately $ 414.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities and $ 239.9 million in indebtedness, including $ 215.0 million in outstanding convertible subordinated notes due September 2012. On February 24, 2012, we entered into an agreement whereby we received an aggregate cash payment of $ 124.0 million in exchange for the right to receive all royalty payments arising from future worldwide net sales of CIMZIA ® and MIRCERA ® from and after January 1, 2012 under our license, manufacturing and supply agreements with UCB Pharma (UCB) and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (Roche), respectively. Additionally, we incurred approximately $ 4.5 million in transaction costs. We plan to use the net payments from this agreement to in part repay the convertible subordinated notes due September 28, 2012 (see Note 14).
Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of our wholly-owned subsidiaries: Nektar Therapeutics AL, Corporation (Nektar AL), Nektar Therapeutics (India) Private Limited, Nektar Therapeutics UK, Ltd. (Nektar UK) and Aerogen, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The merger of Nektar AL, an Alabama corporation, with and into its parent corporation, Nektar Therapeutics, was made effective July 31, 2009. As of the effective date, the separate existence of Nektar AL ceased, and all rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Nektar AL are vested in Nektar Therapeutics, the surviving corporation. On December 2, 2010, we completed the dissolution of Aerogen, Inc. and all remaining assets were transferred to Nektar Therapeutics.
Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of each foreign subsidiary's financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. To date, such cumulative translation adjustments have not been material to our consolidated financial position. Aggregate gross foreign currency transaction gains (losses) recorded in operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were not material.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to deferred revenue recognition periods, inventories, the impairment of investm
